"About time! Thanks TJ for opening in downtown SF. Excellent location and close to public transportation. Now I can either buy my lunch before going to work or dinner going home. Great staff as usual."

"More than 2 years ago, a real estate agent had winked, letting me in a secret that Trader Joes was looking for a spot in my neighborhood. But I thought it was just a cruel rumor. Then I saw the banner for Trader Joes opening in October of 2016. Months went by, and I became so afraid that this wouldn't even happen. So, I'd grudgingly get whatever..." Read more

"Was so happy to see that a Trader Joe's opened in downtown SF! This location is on the larger side with wide lanes and an efficient check out process (and plenty of cashiers which is great). Aside from that, everything else is the standard experience you'd get in all of their other stores. Makes a nice alternative to the $16 salad lunch takeout places downto..." Read more

"I've never been so excited for a grocery store to open!Everyone knows how this area desperately needed a grocery market. Target adding a food section helped a little bit, but there was still a need for a full sized chain.I work in FIDI, and live downtown. There are no grocery stores on the entire walk home. I would have to go to the small (an..." Read more

"Best Trader Joe's ever! Right on the subway line - finally - and with the widest aisles you have ever seen. No waiting for a cashier at 3pm on a Saturday."

"The best news EVER ! I went in and bought 56 items and when I got home there was 2 items missing . I called and talk to the manager Achillee(sorry if I spell your name wrong). He was so nice and professional and told me please come back to the store and he replaced the item that was missing . Thank you for all your help!"

"I was able to pop in on their opening day, and had totally expected the space to be small and cramped. I was so wrong, and I'm so happy that I was wrong. The space seems big, and the aisles appear to be much wider than the other San Francisco Trader Joe's that I have been to. I liked the line setup, although it wasn't backed up when I was there, so I didn't..." Read more

"I love that the aisles were spacey. That there were many cashiers available. And items were easy to find. There are also lots of choices of salads too! But the way, I came here on opening day. They were passing out leis to everyone that came in."

"Gota love Trader Joe's now in Union Square. When i visited on Saturday morning it was not busy at all. I am not sure how it will be in the lunch hour time nor M-F, but it was very easy to walk through. I noticed a lot of shelfs empty, so I don't know if that was due to the opening rush this pass several days or supply delivery. But none other the l..." Read more

"Hell yeah-uh for review #3 at TJ's! Like most San Franciscans, I'm so dang happy there is now a location here - so perfect for meeting the super market demand since Bristol Farms left!I'm rather impressed that this TJ's is bigger than the one I usually go to. The stock looked really good, even for the first day of operation! You've got the veggie..." Read more

"Yes! They're finally open! Open 8am to 9pm daily. They're right below the Old Navy but the entrance is on 4th Street. I didn't see any hot food but all the normal Trader Joe's things are all there. This place is going to be packed during lunch time. Will update after I come back a few more times."

"I'm so happy that this location finally opened! I love Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.
Since this is located downtown and close to the financial district, they should have hot food items. They're gonna make so much money especially during lunch time."

"I'm a longtime Trader Joe's shopper. I don't shop here all the time, but over time since I became an adult, I have been going to Trader Joe's in San Francisco and in LA. It actually all started with my mom in Rockville, MD. Trader Joe's offers a wonderful grocery shopping experience. I spotted this new location next to Old Navy near Union Square today. It is..."
