This TJ gets pretty hectic, especially on the weekends. Lots of students come by here. The aisles are packed and sometimes can get hard to maneuver around when there's restocking/etc. That being said, it's clean and the lines for checkout move quickly. I think they carry less variety of items here than other TJs.

Rockstar of a Trader Joes. The hiring manager is on point at this store. They hire the best most enthusiastic cashiers. They're sweet and friendly. but as usual, some of the stock people have a bit of an attitude, but that's ignorable and I see they get cycled out or handled! five stars because the store is clean it's well stocked the cashiers are fast and they're so cute a lot of college kids and retirees too. I enjoy visiting this location.

The food here are varied. I love to try their stuff. I buy everything here from produce to pet food. The service is great. It is always busy and fun to visit this store specially when they have their tasting area open. I have discovered a lot of good frozen food that they have thats very good.The price is very reasonable.

A solid Trader Joes in San Francisco. It is located down an escalator in a basement so it feels tight and can be quite crowded depending when you go (but the crowds are at most Trader Joes locations). The good thing with the crowds is the turnover is high so everything seems fresh. Check-out has always been very efficient in this location. Prices are competitive and seem lower than Safeway and Whole Foods for most items. There's plenty of parking in the Stonestown lot outside, but the safety can be hit or miss, as I've seen the aftermath of a car window break-in during one out of the 10 or so times I've been there. There is security in the store but the parking lot probably needs more monitoring. With the popularity, SF could easily use another new TJs location.

Traders Joes introduces some innovative products for the different four seasons of the year . During the Autumn season it is pumpkin season. I am all about the pumpkin pie year round but there are items at Trader Joe's has which are interesting and are limited editions and have pumpkin flavor added. At the Trader Joe's at Stonestown in San Francisco you can find some of these pumpkin flavors food items spread across the entire store. It's try at your own risk when it comes to the pumpkin flavored items at Trader Joe's because this location does not have a free taste sample table and you can only rely on a personal referral or gamble on an online recommendation. Not all pumpkins are the same and they are countless varieties of pumpkins dessert and food items at Trader Joe's which are sweet and savory. There is the pumpkin bisque for the overcast weather in San Francisco. Then there is the Trader Joe's pumpkin ice cream for that San Francisco heatwave weather. Then there is the Trader Joe's cheesecake for whatever the weather. As you pass the aisles you also can pass the pumpkin baton with the Pumpkin Spice Batons (rolled wafers with pumpkin spice).You will also find a mini pumpkin patch within Trader Joe's with pumpkin names such as the Fall Fantasy pumpkin, Mini Tiger pumpkin and the Orange pumpkin. Trader Joe's does a good job planting the pumpkins seeds for their Autumn pumpkin release . As the Trader Joe's website says" We Fall for it every year". As we fall back this year keep in mind it's time to rewind (your clock on November 3, 2024). Trader Joe's keep it consistent with their food and service. Traders Joe's pumpkin season Autumn food items are not a gimmick Others stores try to copy but the best they can do is try to mimic

This Trader Joe's seems smaller than other ones in the City, but it may be perception? For one, it's located in a basement, so one has to take an escalator downstairs. I think the one in downtown also is same setup, but I digress. Secondly, due to tighter spacing, some of the items are not located next to each other like other bigger stores I'm used to so I had to circle a little bit more to find things. Otherwise, still a great TJ. The cashier we had was very personable. She will be great at sales. Located within the Stonestown Galleria complex, on 20th Ave and Winston Drive.

Me and my girlfriend always come here for groceries and I couldn't have passed up on these orchids. The service here is very fast and reliable and we always are looking for the new trending items at Trader Joe's. The ambiance here is like any other grocery store very busy and high paced environment.

Popular mall location - probably due to the bus stop and proximity to the college. Shopped a day before Christmas Eve and everything was in stock. Pleasantly surprised at the experience just days before Christmas. I would expect certain things sold out - crowds - black Friday type stuff - but it was nowhere to be found. Went in for the pre cooked turkey half breast. I never tried it before but I've always had my eye on it as an option for people who don't want to cook for a moderate group of people. Got some ready made sides - roasted vegetables and stuffing for a complete no fuss dinner. Turkey was well seasoned and tender - stuffing had apples - everything was great. For dessert had some Zanzes cheesecake and everybody was happy. Check out lines were fast and there was one line for everybody. I think I like this better than the typical TJs checkout process. I usually go to Whole Foods next door and it was my first time visiting this location. Don't let the escalator stop you - just a short ride directly under Target.

This Trader Joe's is conveniently located at Stonetown Shopping Center. There is plenty of parking. And it's easy for commuters to take public trasportation here since so many MUNI lines stop at Stonestown. Also convenient for students at SFSU, whether they live in the dorms, nearby, or to pick up something on the way home after classes are over. The store is actually on a lower level. You enter the doors and then take the escalator or elevator down. When you are finished shopping, you can push your cart onto the "up" escalator for the carts and it will meet you up at street level. There are 2 restrooms ; they are on your left after you get off of the escalator. The store is a decent size for the location. For some reason I was expecting it to be more cramped inside. They have a check out system I had not seen before at other Trader Joe's location. You enter on the left side if you have a cart, and you enter on the right side if you have a hand basket. Both will feed into the "next available" set of registers. I like this more than individual lines for each register... because sometimes you choose poorly and end up in a slow line. The one downside to this location is the narrow sidewalk out front. It gets jammed up with pedestrians walking by or trying to get on/off the buses, while Trader Joe's shoppers are trying to come out with their shopping carts. .
