| - There are Trader Joe's....and there are the Trader Joe's of CHAMPIONS!
Is it possible to actually look FORWARD to a food shopping experience? I mean, I loved going to the one in Brookline, MA so I could grab some sushi or snacks, chocolate pretzels and a huge bottle of water before catching at a matinee at Coolidge Corner theater. But this one...DAMN. It isn't the biggest Trader Joe's, so the wine selection isn't huge. The aisles get kinda cramped and they run out of certain breads more often than not...but the people here are so damn friendly. The staff, or crew members, are truly awesome. I usually can't get away from this place without interacting with like three or four of them. Totally down to earth, helpful, hilarious, I cannot say enough good things about the crew here. Of course, the cheap prices on lots of vegetarian loot (tofu, juice, soy ice cream, soy sausage, frozen vegetables/fruit, soup, cheap ass cans of beans) is a huge bonus to my rather slim wallet. And their close proximity to Changing Hands and Target also helps, of course. But so does their free coffee and tasting I can usually par-take in help. One note-def. get their bags DOUBLE bagged-everytime I have gotten it single bagged, the damn handles fall off. Otherwise...it is SO golden, it is unbelievable.
