This place is right down the street for me !! This has been both a good, and very very bad thing...
This place attempts to imitate trader joes- but its certainly different, layouts of the store are more industrial and one could say "functional"- trader joes has a more comfortable "homey" environment in their stores that can be quite inviting- persuading you to STAY in longer!
Trader Joes has TONS of prepared foods- thats their distinctive point, and most of it is frozen but it is quite good.
Fresh and easy has some frozen packaged foods, but its mostly fresher "ready to microwave" items- but I havent found them to be flavorful. I think overall TJ has more variety and quality, Fresh and Easy is also quite good for its price point though- very affordable!
The Staff at the Fresh and Easy are wonderful- extremely helpful and friendly- no other store has anything comparable It doesnt feel "fake" ! they have great items on sale depending on the week- so check them out :)! Fresh and Easy is a blend of Fry's and TJ- with a more community-like feel
I really like their fresh-wild seafood like scallops and salmon
