I've seen this Trader Joe's when traveling to Chicago but I never actually stopped in until today. When I travel for work I like to get some non-dairy milk that I can have in the mornings, and I figured they would have a good selection. They have both non-refrigerated and refrigerated non-dairy milk. The fridge in my hotel room is rather small so I started off looking at the non-refrigerated. My favorite is almond milk but not the unsweetened, and unfortunately most of their selection was unsweetened. I ended up buying oat milk since it had 4 g of sugar. I did look at the refrigerated milk as well, they had what I wanted but it was in a standard size which I think will be too big. I came here on a Sunday night and it was kind of insanely crowded, lol, but I suppose that means it's Trader Joe's! I also perused the snack aisles and they have a lot of really nice stuff, if I wasn't in town attending a candy conference I would have bought some snacks for myself. Overall I would return to this location.

I love this Trader Joe's! The employees are so friendly, everything is well organized, and the parking is (while still pretty stress inducing) one of the better parking situations I've seen at a TJ's! It is a bit of a hike for me to get here, but I come every month or so to stock up on my favorite items. I love the variety of produce and frozen foods. The snack items are also wonderful. I also really like the selection of florals. I threw a party with a DIY bouquet bar and picked up a bunch of flowers from this location. There was a great variety and pricing is not bad. The cashier even comped one of my bouquets as a gift since it was my birthday - this was an extra special touch that was so thoughtful and keeps me coming back.

I love love Trader Joe's. I go about once a month. The selection is unique. The service is quick and friendly.

Since discovering Trader Joe's, it has become my go-to destination for groceries. Trader Joe's at River North location may appear compact but they pretty much have all the stuff that you would expect at most TJs! TJ and Whole foods are the only two stores that keep bringing in innovative healthy Vegan products. The staff at Trader Joe's River North is consistently amicable and helpful, adding to the overall positive shopping experience. Its downtown proximity enhances its convenience, making it my top choice for grocery shopping. I highly recommend this store with an enthusiastic rating of 11/10!

This is my local TJs. It's straight to the point and like every other TJs except it gets super duper packed! That's the only con. Otherwise, great store!

Sweet spot, normal Trader Joe's. Just as great as all the other ones you see across the country. The workers think it's funny guests take pictures here.

My go-to local grocery store!! While Sundays and Mondays can be a bit of a madhouse, I find they are always quick to re-stock. Anytime I have issues finding a specific item or notice something is out, employees are always so helpful to check the back. When checking out, no matter which register I go to, there's always a friendly person making the check-out process quick and efficient.

First thing... they offer free parking BUT it's only 60 minutes. I thought it was 90 and got hit for $28! Expensive lesson. So, if you have a lot of shopping to do and yo have driven there, be mindful of the time limit! I'm super mad about it. The store is clean and employees friendly. I was dismayed to hear 3 employees (females) working by the cheese dairy corner and one girl blurted out very loudly the "f" word. Yowza! I'm not gonna go tattle, but tact, please. Good selections of foods, although I find some of their fruits/veggies to be lesser quality at times. Great location, just be careful of your time if you are driving and park there. $28 was highway robbery. They should move to a validation system. Or I'll buy less and get out quicker.
