"I've been shopping at Trader Joe's for years, but just recently started shopping at this store, maybe about 3 months ago. The store is big, well stocked, looked pretty organized, and in general a smooth-running operation.Here are the cons:1. The restroom can be dirty due to so many customers every day. 2. They don't serve coffee at the sampli..." Read more

"Love finding Trader Joe's relatively close to our hotel for some economical eats. Bring a bag or expect to pay 10 cents."

"I like this TJ's almost better than my "home" one near the Wharf. Seems to be more current on new products and way better stocked, though I guess the store manager determines products each carries. Close enough to the office to stroll over to grab lunch/treats/beer for Friday Fun at 4. Close to the streetcar to grab and head home when I want to check..." Read more

"PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIX THE DAMN ESCALATOR!I've been coming to this location since they opened. I like that the store is extremely large, well stocked, and that the 15-20+ tellers keep the at-times extremely long moving rapidly. I've had no bad experiences with this store. The escalator is often out of commission as it has been for..." Read more

"Great Trader Joe's location with all of the products you need and love. Off of market street, it's located behind Okd Navy and can be tricky to miss with all of the signage around it, but it's there in all it's glory! It is also very close to the Muni and several bus stops making it easy for me to grab something on my way to or from work/home.I have..." Read more

"This is probably my favorite grocery store in all of San Francisco. Their easy to reach locations makes shopping convenient. Each time I walk through the doors I'm always happily greeted with a smile by their uplifting employees. The food is always fresh and at an affordable price. They truly stand by their mission of "[giving] customers the best food an..." Read more

"I saw on google that it was less busy than usual on Monday 25th around 4-5pm. So I went there, but hell, the line started from 6-7 rows away. They still provide good stuff, though. My tip if you're going there around the busy time and need only the things from their shelves (not the cold stuff), just get in line and grab them along the way!"

"A love, hate relationship with this store.
Great prices and amazing service... but the food often goes bad in about a week. Don't stockpile too much on the fresh produce unless you plan on making food within the week."

"I'm a loyal trader hoe's fan and I love that they have more locations opening up! What I hate about this store is the checkout line process. Nobody seems to understand it and to me seems like a wasted space. I would hope that they hire some feng shui expert to come in and make it better. The aisles make no sense to me and are very limiting to those who want..." Read more

"Very well setup.
It has everything a Trader Joe's normally would. Good sized for an SF market.
The line management works really well. They designed the checkout system well."

"Lifesaver over here!I had to pull together some last minute cooking and was worried about making it to the supermarket given my work hours. Luckily, this spot opened up recently (I'd never even noticed it while walking on Powell)-- very reminiscent of the Trader Joe's up in the 70s in NYC with an escalator that goes down to basement level.Emp..."

"I love this Trader Joe's as it has a number of vegan options. Their tempeh and okra chips are the best.
Two issues about this place: sometimes some produce is beyond expiration date so you have to be careful while buying produce.
Don't go after work hours or you'll have to wait a long time on the line to pay."

"This Trader Joe's is conveniently located along my commute to and from work, which is fantastic. It's also easily accessible for those who use BART (it's right off the Powell stop). The street can be busy, but inside never seems too overwhelming with shoppers (until a part I'll discuss in a minute).All my favorite choices are here. Fresh produce lies..." Read more

"It's a little bit small. It's a little bit busy. Employees do a damned good job of moving the line fast when it's busy though; kind of impressive to be honest.
I like the bigger Trader Joe's... but at the end of the day, this one is right by Powell where I hop on to go to work... so it works well for me, and gets the job done."

"Trader Joe's is definitely the grocery store equivalent of Target. You know, you go to Target having in mind what key few items you need, but then you end up leaving with more because of a sale, the $1 aisle or just seeing something cool or interesting. Often that's my dilemma at TJ's, seeing a snack or something in the frozen aisle that catches my eye bec..." Read more

"I love Trader Joe's - this location especially. It is SO conveniently located right off of fourth street and it really is well kept - despite the location, which borders on a less nice location. I think this is best shown through their really clean, gender-inclusive bathrooms, of which they have 4. They also do so much with a smaller space, managing to keep..." Read more

"I always love Trader Joe's. So exciting that there is a TJ in San Fran. Well its convenient. Its not as big as the usual TJ. So came here to browse around and see if there are anything I needed. It has everything that my usual TJ, I always go to in Washington.
It is downstairs in the basement, which is interesting. So many people here."

"Love that this location opened, it's convenient midday but after 4/5 o'clock it can be pretty crowded so you must time it just right. They are well staffed and the line moves fast for checkout but the store can get over packed."

"This place is a great find for those of us who like to have lunch in the city and NOT have to pay $10 for a salad or a sandwich. Co-workers alike have been hitting this place up stocking up on snacks and treats. As with a typical TJ's trip you will most definitely find some additional treats to take with you back home or to the office. Awesome if you need..." Read more

"Yesss! A TJ right across from my work! Can't get better than that. This store which is under Old Navy is quite big, got plenty of workers, all new daces and when I first visited after a couple days of their grand opening, seems like the employees are still getting their bearings when asked about products. Nonetheless, prices seem the same with what I normall..." Read more
