TJ's is one of many companies that we're deprived of by living in Hawaii. The excuse is usually that they wouldn't be able to keep their prices low. We're already used to crazy prices so what's one more store but one that has some good sh... stuff? Staying on The Strip, Uber prices were around $40 each way for both locations, but luckily a local family member offered to drive me and the spouse. I'm not a TJ expert so I can't compare this location to others, but this one is pretty quaint in size. Parking was plentiful within the Longford Shoppes strip mall. THE GOODS: Cookie Butter is out, nuts and chips are in for me! A Trio of Almonds My favorite snack that I believe is seasonal (winter?). The caramel coffee-coated ones are the tastiest, followed by the sesame honey. The third is simply salted. Nuts About Rosemary Mix Mix of almonds, cashews, pecans and hazelnuts in a lightly salty and herby seasoning. Everything But The Bagel Nut Duo Very uninspiring bag of cashews and almonds. Love the seasoning though. Step Up To The Snack Bar Mix The ultimate snack that goes with any beverage! Honey mustard pretzels, honey roasted peanuts & sesame sticks, flax seeds corn chips, cheese crackers & chili lemon corn sticks. Happy Trekking Trek Mix Low sodium but tasty mix of almonds, not-so-sweet chocolate morsels, cashews, pistachios, cranberries & cherries. Love it! Olive & Herbs Mixed Nuts Lightly-salted and herby-seasoned almonds, cashews, pecans & dried olives. Giant Peruvian Inca Corn Snacks My cousin got this, so I got a bag to try. Big kernels, yes, but simply salted with no wow-factor. It should be seasoned with something bolder than salt. Garlic & Black Pepper Almonds The problem with this is all the seasoning is at the bottom of the package, so you're pretty much left with peppery-flavored nuts. Pass. Everything But The Bagel Potato Chips Only one expression is needed: O.M.G. SERVICE: Cashier was friendly and speedy. OVERALL: Just another grocer but one with unique and delish, store-branded goods.

It's the service, not the product. What's so special about traders joes? They all serve the same products. Organic fruits and veggies filled boxes. Free range chicken and dark chocolate covered everything. Every product is good from the shampoo to the dog treats to even the bottled wine. Joe's is one of my favorite stores to visit when I travel to different states. Trying to find the theme of this store, I discovered from the manager Cory that's is local based. All the art work is local artist with a play on local attractions. And when he found out this was my first time here he gave me a free bag. Thanks man! Overall five stars. Parking is adequate. The store is stocked and clean. And the people all flash a smile and ask how you doing. A great company. M

Had to pick up some things to bring home to Hawaii... one of the workers saw it was my birthday and came up to me as I was in line to pay with three bouquets told me to pick one for my birthday and gave me a hug! That was random but meant a lot!

The staff is always so pleasant here. Even when it's busy, check out seems to be easy and smooth.

Coming to this Trader Joe's is always a pleasant experience. The customer service is always great. The crewmembers are always so friendly and helpful. This particular time I went I was getting flowers for myself and Caroline decided to gift it to me instead which I thought was so touching of her. It was so sweet and I really appreciate it. No other grocery store does things like this. Trader Joe's is one of a kind.

Stopped by to pick up omiyage for family and friends. So many options. Friendly staff and clean aisles today. The fresh peonies here added a wonderful aroma as you walked into TJ. I found the snack clusters here in different options. Picked up so many items that the staff knew we were from Hawaii lol. Our go to TJ for bringing home snacks!

How do you know... Trader Joe's just has the yummy goodness that we all love! The ninth island has take care of our cravings and this W Washington location is one of the friendliest as I had questions regarding their totes as they all are eco friendly though this washable paper bag had me questioning the durability squashed my theory as they use them regularly without issues. As I'm browsing looking quite puzzled I had a staff asking if I'm okay lol which I replied...no but "what would your favorite be TODAY as I'm sure it changed depending on your mood as currently they have a Ube collection going on with tea cookies, Joe Joes, Pancake mix and pretzels i had my questions which i agrees and we both came up with the same answer lol! Browsing here is quite easy as it's so clean and organized and with us constantly purchasing in the bulk we've known to do, many are stacking up areas that have been wiped out, checked out the "new" items are always fun though since it's been years this visit has been a nostalgic trip to the happy place. Thank you!

Will we ever see Trader Joe's in Hawaii? The cost of shipping products to Hawaii can be much higher, which may impact the affordability of their offerings. In guess I'll keep bringing my empty suitcase until Trader Joe's considers Hawaii in their future offerings... Lol
