    I Think Trader Joe’s in Olympia is the best one I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot. The customer service there is unmatched. I love all of their gluten-free products. I was in yesterday and was purchasing a bunch of stuff and stocking up because I live an hour away. As I was telling the manager Who happen to also be my checker, how much I enjoyed all of the gluten-free products they carry and how far gluten-free products have come in the last four or five years. He asked me if I had tried the double chocolate muffins I told him I hadn’t so I ran over to grab some while he was finishing up with my order. By the time I got back to the register he had already finished with my groceries and he told me that those were on him today. He blessed me so much, I know that the amount dollarwise was minimal, but what it did for me was priceless. Thank you Trader Joe’s of Olympia you guys are doing things right!!!!!

    It just keeps improving! The cherry tomatoes and most potato bags come in paper rather than all plastic boxes/bags. The employees seem happy and eager to help things. Of course, would I like to know they're not undercutting the competition on the backs of low paid labor? Yes.

    First-tme to Trader Joe's and was given the VIP personal-shopper experience from Molly. She was the most friendly, helpful and fun person ever to show us around the store and make excellent recommendations. We loaded up on a buggy-full of fun cheese, spreads, meats, and snacks - all worthy of our Oregon Coast roadtrip. Thank you Molly and Trader Joe's for a great first-time.

    I always love shopping at trader Joe's. I've gone for the last 4 or 5 years before Christmas, to get a few of the Christmas items they have only at this time of year. And every year I always go to late and they are out of everything I went for. Next year I'm going to start calling the 1st part of November, and asking if the items I want are in yet. But I still like going there, I've never encountered a rude employee, and when talking to one they are more than helpful. And the store is always clean. DONT EVER LEAVE JOE!!! 😄

    Always one of my favorite places to shop. Trader Joe's always has a great selection of vegetables, fruits, chips, and vegan products. I highly recommend this store!

    My local location conveniently right off I-5 and 101. Great staff and always seems to be stocked with whatever I’m looking for. Also proven community supporters whom offer to help a cause in the area. A place I’ll definitely continue supporting. The only downside is the horribly-designed parking lot which is no fault of theirs.

    They have good jerky. I go there special just to get their jerky. It’s a sensory overload nightmare for me so I am rating only four stars.

    I love Trader Joe's spice collection but watch out for MSG/yeast extract. Trader Joe's is known for quality at a fair price. I hope they stick to that. They often also have innovative new products.

    Decent deals, has a pretty good selection of a variety of foods and the produce always seems pretty fresh. The store itself is pretty small and the isles feel a little cramped, but the Staff are typically pretty friendly and helpful.

    I hadn't been to a TJs in over a decade. I visited here and then came back weekly since. Outstanding produce quality and value. Staff is so friendly and helpful. The cheese selection is amazing. I've found so many new favorites here, from the fermented black garlic to the hot Scottish smoked salmon, to the wide selection of inexpensive but excellent alcohol section. I am a true fan, now.

    I feel so silly for not remembering the name of the very kind lady who checked me out today, but this Trader Joe's customer service goes beyond my expectations! Thank you for taking care of me on my special day, it really made my day. I tried to tell who I thought was a supervisor of her wonderful customer service through my almost tears of happiness (emotional day for me) so I hope the message reaches her. Thank you TJ's for being a great place to shop!

  • 4/5 red might be d. 2 years ago on Google
    It was nothing short of amazing. Very kind staff, nice safe environment, very unique and for the most part healthy products. I thought the store felt nice and more like a small business instead of a large supercenter. Whilst there isn't a ton there what they do have is very well crafted and very tasty( sometimes adicting.) Over all, very nice food center 9.5 out of 10 would recommend.

  • 5/5 Joseph and Roseann D. 1 year ago on Google
    My ultimate Favorite place to find Kosher certified meats, fruit, vegetables, dairy and treats. My favorite vegetable to buy is the baby zucchini when it is in season and the golden gooseberry! I love these baby zucchini sauté in basil pesto and pasta, as a sauté at other veggies, or an easier way to incorporate into baked goods. Every time I come to this specific location in Olympia, I get super excited when I see more and more kosher certified and cholov yisrael dairy!! I would love to see more kosher certified products please!! I do a majority of my bi-weekly shopping here. Please add more kosher certified products. Thank you!

    Terrible customer service. I was treated like trash for using my EBT card. The cashier had no idea how to ring up a customer using EBT and when I asked for a manager, he was completely unapologetic. The female who originally rang me up continued to trash talk throughout the entire process while the line backed up. Worst shopping experience ever. Definitely would not recommend.

    A good TJ location with a nice selection of familiar products.

  • 1/5 BAM M. 2 years ago on Google
    For a store that sells and promotes natural and healthy foods, they do not allow you to make your own medical choices and require you to have paper on your face to enter the store. I have entered many Traders Joe’s in other parts of the country and they did not kick you out for face coverings. On top of that their staff participates in pointing and laughing at you if you choose to shop elsewhere. No problem as there is a Haagen across the street that allows anyone to enter. Masks don’t work and if they do, encourage those who want to wear them to wear two…then they are really safe and don’t have to worry about others who choose to do.

    My favorite store for organic produce such as bread, milk, cheese, yogurt, vegetables, and poetry. Prices are much cheaper compared to other grocery stores. They offered a variety of products from fresh to frozen items. Ezieke bread and Trader Joe's tortillas are the best value in price and healthy ingredients.

  • 5/5 gabby h. 6 months ago on Google
    This Trader Joe’s is amazing! It was our first time in a TJ’s (we’re canadian) and Lexi came up to ask to ask if needed help. She then recommended a bunch of stuff to us, welcomed us to the store and gave us some free bags! The entire staff there was amazing, we would absolutely visit again!

    Trader Joe's is always a 5 Star experience! Truly...we are at day 22 of a 45 day road trip and have been shopping at Trader Joe's in many states! Always consistent quality and the staff have always been awesome! Thank you! Mike and Ally 🇨🇦 🍁

  • 5/5 Linda Z. 6 months ago on Google
    Love this place! Plenty of organic foods, good prices, oh and their broccoli cheddar soup is delicious. They have a variety of plants (which I love) at really good prices. I shop there often and will continue. I highly recommend this place. The staff is friendly and helpful.

  • 3/5 Norman S. 2 years ago on Google
    Trader Joe's is what it is. A bunch of hipsters and soccer moms filled the place. Some great bargains and some terrible prices. Only go here when I need to pick up one of their super unique items.

  • 5/5 Carrie B. 11 months ago on Google
    Variety of grab and go food items, and has household essentials! I was able to get a wrap for lunch and my paper towel in the same trip. Love the workers there, they all are very kind and helpful.

  • 5/5 JLM 11 months ago on Google
    Well maintained grocer with excellent service. I appreciate the cleanliness and organization of the store. The front end staff has always been a wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 Teri R. 2 years ago on Google
    Love Trader Joe's ... they have some great low carb options. Cashiers are friendly ... usually have lots in stock ... overall great place to shop.

  • 5/5 Audrey A. 1 year ago on Google
    I just love TJ's employees, they are always so helpful! Every question is answered with a smile. They also value their quality products. I needed cucumbers and when I went yesterday evening there were only 2 tiny English cucumbers left. At checkout my cashier said she has never seen such small cucumbers and couldn't in good conscience charge me for them. No where else have I ever gotten service like that!

  • 4/5 Lacie 10 months ago on Google
    Clean store, with great produce + veggie options, frozen foods, bakery items and snacks. The prices are always high because it's a Trader Joe's. But some items are surprisingly cheap like their adorable gift card selection right inside the main doors. Also a fan of their Tea Tree Tingle body wash/hair line. Parking in the complex is easy to find but the parking lot is a tangled mess.

  • 5/5 Reade W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good ol' Trader Joe's! Great selection of great products at reasonable prices. And best of all, they're showing more conformity in having products available on repeat visits. A varying selection is a good thing as is being able to find old favorites.

  • 5/5 Rachel L. 9 months ago on Google
    I love shopping here. The staff is so friendly and helpful, the selection is great. I only dislike when they rearrange the produce department! It’s so easy for me to go in on auto-pilot and get everything on my list-until they switch layouts :) #firstworldproblems

  • 5/5 Karen M. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite store. People think they're expensive... That may be on specialty, imported type items, but regular grocery items are pretty comparable. I love their gluten-free, mac and cheese! And it's way less than any of the other gluten free packages in the big chain stores (IE;. Safeway, Fred Meyer)

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn G. 1 year ago on Google
    I typically don't review corporate locations, but y'all.... this place is awesome. It was my first time ever grocery shopping in a Trader Joe's, and my experience was remarkable! Molly was super informative and helpful. Her passion for food and the store's products was inspiring, she made wonderful recommendations and I'm grateful for her assistance. I didn't realize how affordable this store would be. The prices are comparable to standard grocery stores, but the products are unique and (seemingly) ethically sourced. I love this place and will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 Christopher B. 1 year ago on Google
    Trader Joe's is awesome! The employees are always nice and seem to like their job. The prices are super cheap and the food is ALWAY good. I would definitely recommend going there

  • 5/5 Cort M. 1 year ago on Google
    We could not find something we were looking for and the staff member let us know it was seasonal. We picked up other wonderful items, and overall a nice experience shopping there

  • 5/5 Nathaniel D. 1 year ago on Google
    I like finding new foods here but mainly come in to pick up the 4 pack of pineapple juice. Delicious.

  • 5/5 Susie E. 1 year ago on Google
    I went in for the special leaf shaped corn chips and came out with so much more. Great selection of produce and hard to find cooking novelties. ❤️ 💃 🔥

  • 5/5 Nick C. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like this trader Joe's. The selection is good, the layout is standard but I felt like there was more room than some other locations, the staff was very positive and helpful as well as very hard working and efficient. Thanks, Oly TJ's!

  • 5/5 Kimberly W. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this store. Good prices, quality products, the store is always very clean and the employees are extremely helpful and friendly. They make you feel very welcome.

  • 5/5 Joshua B. 1 year ago on Google
    Happy to find new snacks, sad to see favorites go! Always fun to shop at Trader Joe's. The bread section beats any other grocer.
