"I mean, I don't think I've ever had a bad experience in Trader Joes, but this is great. The staff here are so enthusiastic and helpful. I really appreciate that I can go into the store and ask for a recommendation, knowing I will be given an honest answer. The selection of food is really good - the bakery is good and the samples are always stocked right up...." Read more

"This is one of the bigger Trader Joe's and is conveniently located downtown next to the Powell Bart station so you can stop by on your commute. During the rush hours the line wraps around the aisles and can be intimidating but the Trader Joe's employees do a great job at keeping it moving. Most of the prices are cheaper than stores like Safeway, Whole Foods,..." Read more

"Love having the affordable prices of Trader Joe's in such a hustle-and-bustle area of the city! The only problem I have with this location is the lack of cell service in the store, which I imagine would make it difficult to coordinate with your wife when you're trying to gather ingredients for the first home-cooked meal you're hosting for her parents. I woul..." Read more

"Of all the TJ's in the city, this is my fave. The one on Hyde Street is closest to home but I dislike that one. This store on 4th can have a crazy, long line but they are so efficient and have many cashiers during peak times that the line moves really fast. Every employee that you engage with is always helpful and friendly, especially the cashiers. It's alwa..." Read more

"This is one of my favorite stores to go to. They are always friendly at checkout an it goes fast with the large crowds. They always have a great selection that I can't find anywhere else. Often there is someone at the front door to greet you when you come in an leave. I really like this location."

"I was so excited when this TJ's opened. It's in a convenient location, and carries all the classics that I need. Don't be intimidated if the check out line is long. It moves super fast... in fact faster than most other store lines."

"Date: 12/22/2017 Time: 4:30 PM. 55° Partly sunnyAfter leaving the Marriott Marquis, I was surprised to see a Trader Joe's across the street at the Old Navy site. Well, there was no way I could be at the Ferry Terminal at 4:30 PM to board the ferry at the same time I was at Trader Joe's. The next ferry leaving the dock is scheduled to depart at 5:2..."

"Trader Joe's is celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year. I am a fan of their stores as have been to several of them in CA, CO, & OR. While I feel Trader Joe's could be even better if they had a bulk section they still get the job done.This particular Trader Joe's in SoMa is a short walk away from the Powell St BART & is located in the ba..."

"I buy their frozen stuff for lunch almost every day, especially the tamales. Today the tamales I got were totes freezer burnt- like dry and cracking and discolored.
The nice lady at the customer desk let me exchange it, no questions asked.
That's why they're the best.
1/300 tamales is a good streak."

"I am a long time Trader Joe's shopper, lover, and loyal customer, and this is my first review of a store I have visited. This location is AMAZING! Finally, a grocery store in the city that maximizes the limited space by creating large enough aisles to allow more than one person down them at a time. Not to mention, the city appropriate sized shopping carts..." Read more

"I can't believe how long we had to wait for this store to open. As you know, today we can't really judge the service or anything like that. The first day always is always good. Fortunately, I see a very prompt staff and a quite organized store. Fresh produce, and products...all the things we wanted in one place and better prices than the competition. Eve..." Read more

"Was so happy when this Trader Joe's moved into the neighborhood! There's really a limited selection of grocery stores in the immediate area, and my partner and I visit this Trader Joe's 3-4x a week. I like the layout and think they've really maximized the space here. The line can get pretty long, for reasons above, and especially after work, but it always mo..." Read more

Get you prepared wraps or salads at half price of other to-go places.Need milk for your coffee in the AM at work? *guilty* Get you a half gallon and keep it in the work fridge.Snack attack?

"Small, but it has the basics covered and helped me put together a decent Paleo breakfast (bag of boiled eggs and some fruit) for a very low price, which was fantastic.
The lines might look long but they have a ton of cashiers and it moved pretty quickly."

"Although this is smaller than most suburban TJ's I really can't complain because the location is ideal (right by the Container Store, on Market Street). I love their selection of fresh salads, which make for the ideal fit and healthy lunchtime meal. Additionally, their selection of fresh fruits and veggies are pretty staple for any recipe. This is de..." Read more

"O M G finally!!!! A TJ in SOMA whoot whoot! So glad they keep to their pricing as is and don't ramp it up just bcus they're in the SOMA district. This location is underground. Specifically under Old Navy lol so you take an escalator down right when you get in. There is a lot of space and carry all the same things you'd find at your other local TJ's. I w..." Read more

"I LOVE YOU TRADER JOE'S FOR OPENING THIS LOCATION. I mean, it's pretty much always busy, but they have done a great job at managing it and keeping the line moving quickly. The only thing I wish was different is if they had some cell service down there. It's black hole! I definitely dropped a work call today because of it. But, also, why am I working whi..." Read more

"This location is definitely the best in SF! I stopped shopping at Trader Joe's after literally spending more time in line waiting for a parking space and to pay than I did shopping at both the Hyde Street and Masonic Street locations. But when this location opened near my work I decided to try it out, and the check out process is so efficient! They have a..." Read more

There's a nice variety of salads and wraps and prices are insanely affordable, especially for downtown SF where everything is a ripoff.Also, the check out line is intimidating but the cashiers are lightning fast and I've never spent more than 5 mins waiting. Props to the s..." Read more

I love their brand of seal-packaged boiled eggs, Belgium dark chocolate wedges in a tin container, their selections of frozen seafood and Asian food!! Most of th..." Read more
