I always love going to this Trader Joe's. They do have their own parking lot in the first hour of parking is free, which is all you'll ever need. Parking can be difficult if you're going during busy trafficking hours such as Saturday or Sundays. But outside of that this place is great. Customer service is always on point. They have mostly everything in stock.

Wow. I've never felt so good about store I've never stepped foot in. Here's why: I had my first date planned with a girl I've grown feelings for, and we had planned virtual date for the evening. We've been talking long distance, so I wanted her to feel me there (in spirit haha), so I asked her to get some pasta on me from Trader Joe's in preparation for a movie night with her favorite home made dish. Prior to her arrival I called the store to ask if could purchase some flowers and have them given to her as a pre-paid surprise... I spoke to Kit and he said, "Cole, we love doing this kind of stuff- it's our favorite." After offering to pay, he refused, said he would take care of it and personally would make sure it got delivered. BUT WAIT... there's more. He had a custom bouquet made for her (pictured) AND wrote a custom message from me on a card per my request. Fast forward. She walked in the store that day... was tracked down by 5 employees to make absolutely sure that she received the gift from her "boyfriend guy from another state". She got back in the car after that to FaceTime me, couldn't stop laughing, and said that nobody has ever done something so sweet for her. We went on to have the most wonderful date... I mean... literally it went on for a collective 10 hours. Thank you Kit, and the rest of the TJ staff for helping me to make her feel like the most special girl in the world. Trader Joe's for the win.

I love Trader Joe's and its great to have one right in Minneapolis. I was wary of a downtown location because parking can be a hassle. However, they have a parking lot that's free for the first hour of parking, which gives plenty of time to pick up your groceries. There is a wide selection of products and there is plenty of stock of food you want- I have rarely seen products that were out or gone. The customer service is friendly and every encounter I've has with an employee is positive. If there Isa product I'm looking for, someone is always willing to help me find it or check the back room if it's not on a shelf. The liquor section is also fun to scroll through. There are several products from local and national places, and you can buy single beers of any type and make your own 6-pack!

Since moving to Minneapolis we have struggled to find a grocery that had items we like and can afford. We went to Trader Joe's today and are so excited to have found our store!! Wonderful food at prices we can manage!

Prior to my Yelp career I stopped in to TJ's and if reviewed probably would have given them 2 stars. Finally a revisit and this store is very impressive. Similar to Fresh Thyme with fresh items, unique natural brands without the trendy prices. If you like creative juices they are well stocked as well as chips, mostly all gluten free and not the usual convenience store junky stuff. Employees move quickly around the store in almost cautious fashion of concern about their jobs. The checkouts were busy with one lane closed. Suddenly a man, probably a manager, walked to the office and rang a bell. An employee was nearly running to quickly open the last lane. I certainly hope the company isn't run like a boot camp. Of course a huge selection of veggies and fruit, but not much of deli style grab and go items.

This is one of my go-to grocery shopping locations and they always have a good selection of both old and new products! I love that they have started offering samples again sometimes. This location does get super busy after work, and stock can definitely get depleted rather quickly. Everyone who works here is always so nice and helpful too!

This is my go to Trader Joe's! Yes, it is downtown Minneapolis- do not let that scare you. Parking is validated up to 1 hour and is a covered lot. I'm a big supporter of the entire freezer section. Fried rice, pasta, veggies, pizza, ice cream, it's all AMAZING. Comfort food that could not be easier to prepare. The produce is also a highlight. I have had great experiences each week ish I go. The prices at TJ are also incredible. I almost always save $.50-1 on each item vs Target. Plus the quality is better in my opinion. The workers at TJ are so friendly. When you are checking out they will strike up a conversation while ringing you up in record time. The store is so well maintained too. Can't recommend this location enough.

Really clean & spacious TJ's- Mad props coz folks were quite nice even though I was the annoying customer that ran in the door like 6 minutes before closing. This is near my hotel & it was great to buy drinks, snacks & fruits, and I love their hand lotion, hair serum.

I have loved Trader Joe's from the first moment I started shopping there years ago. This location is new to me, as it's only the second time I've been here. It's as great as the other locations at which I've shopped. This store appears to be smaller than other locations, though it hasn't detracted from the shopping experience. This location is convenient for those who don't drive. We take the bus and it's a very short trip from downtown Minneapolis. The bus drops off right in front of the store and catching it is only across the street.
