Love TJ'S for flowers. I've used them for events, and to fill in for wedding flowers. They always have something that works!

This was my first time at this Trader Joe's location, and I like it quite well! It was clean and easy to navigate, with lots of goods. I was hoping to find a couple of new cheeses I'd seen on social media, and sure enough, they had them and several other tasty-looking things as well. It was busy on a Saturday but there was no line, so I was in and out fast.Note that like other stores in Minnesota, the alcohol section is in a separate area with its own checkout. My husband checked that out and found some stuff to try, too.

Really great grocery store because it has a good selection of food in all departments. Most of the food is a healthier option and Trader Joes brand does a good job of adding flavor and having unique items. There are a handful of things I absolutely love from TJ that I can’t get anywhere else! The price point on most of the items is fair for the amount per package. I have always had service from store attendants and cashiers that have gone above and beyond to get to know me and put a smile on my face.I would really like to see the store add more gluten and dairy free options and have them labeled accordingly so I don’t have to read every single ingredient on every single package (labeling the shelf tag too) I would definitely also like to see more organic items and decreased bad oils and sugars in their goods because for a store that represents healthier options they have quite a few things on the shelves that I wouldn’t eat.

Selective selection of fresh, organic produce, signature items, milk, eggs, cheese, meat and bakery. Store brands make up 80% of what they carry. Adjacent Wine Store offers a line of wines and other spirits. Small floor plan with limited aisles made navigating store easy. Open, airy and brightly lit. Staff friendly. Shop sales as prices tend to be higher than other stores.

Thank you Lexi! My 3 boys and I had stopped in to get my grandparents flowers for their 60th wedding anniversary along with other goodies and you had said the flowers were on the house! This took me by surprise and I am forever grateful! Your act of kindness does not go unnoticed!

We drove up to Rochester to finish our Christmas shopping and we also wanted to stop at one of our favorite food stores...Trader Joe's.As usual...they were very busy. For whatever reason, we couldn't locate some of our favorite items. We were then approached by Donna G., who seemed to be very busy, but took some time to assist us. We told her what we were looking for and Donna G. took us right to those items. Now that's great service.Thank you Trader Joe's for the great store and thank you Donna G. for your timely service.

One of my favorite go to places for groceries. They always have fresh options, products you can feel good about feeding your family, compared to exact same product with a list of ingredients you can’t pronounce, preservatives that you don’t want to eat or chemicals that may not be safe. It’s a smaller store, with a more mom and pop feel but all the amenities of a big store from fresh flowers, liquor, to coffee grinder. Conveniently located just South of the Apache Mall.

This was my first time and I was so excited. The wait was sooo worth. Everyone was beyond kind and the different options compared to Walmart or Target was amazing. LOVE IT so so much! To the gentleman who checked us out and offered my very energetic son a sucker....thank you for asking first and thank you for being such a nice person! Will return just because of our encounter with him!

We stopped at the Trader Joe’s in Rochester while on a road trip. We got the snacks we wanted, and even a few extras. I was so happy to see that they had gooseberries and mini marshmallows in stock too!We love coming here every time we drive through. It’s one of the best places to stop for healthy snacks.

Trader Joe's is a must. Every time we stop in Rochester we always make a stop into Trader Joe's. Great prices, great and unique selection and super friendly staff make the Trader Joe's stop a must do. Try their cheeses and chocolates.

Great Cheese selection but I wish that the block pizza cheese was there. It’s a great substitute for low carb diet.

Staff is always super friendly! Super odd finds for food. Love their flower selection. Great place to get new house plants also. If you like chai, you need to try their chai tea mints.

Our family takes a monthly trip to the Rochester, MN Trader Joe’s to stock up on all our favorite goodies. On our last trip, we were spoiled with Donna as our cashier. She sparked great conversations with us and even offered us a recipe idea using the dumplings we were already buying. She “snuck” us a container of their miso ginger broth, at no cost to us, for us to give her recipe a try. We love our monthly trips here already, but awesome cashiers like Donna really made our experience that much better. We can’t wait for our next visit!

I wish La Crosse Wisconsin had a Trader Joe's. I like in Rochester. It's a good place to go. A must stop.

We really enjoy shopping here when we are in the area. The selection of private label products are high quality. And the staff is very friendly.

This Rochester store was absolutely the roomiest one ive ever been in! The space between aisles was insane! I was extremely happy to see that they still had truffle potato chips, because the T.Joes up here in St Paul have been out for months. (As the St Paul area employee told me, "Its a Summer item".)Well-stocked in all departments, especially in the radio advertised specials we stopped for (luxury stocking stuffers: truffle oil duo, truffle powder, shaved truffles in olive oil). Cash Register impulse purchases are always my downfall, lol! 🤩 bog of Chocolate covered almonds for 99cents?💜💜💜

Pleasant experience every time I shop here! Staff are very attentive and genuinely friendly. Great selection of products and a good selection of rotating new items to try as well!

Not bad items. Packages are small, but they have unique items. Unfortunately, some of the packages do not have instructions, so it is trial and error when using. I was also disappointed that two of the items I purchased from the produce area went bad within 3 days. The reason for the three stars is because staff are always nice and helpful.
