PS. Even though the line at Trader Joe’s may be long during this Pandemic, the employees spend all of their time and energy, making sure their customers are comfortable. You can find them passing out waters as the customers wait their turn and answer questions through the daily rushes. You cannot get this kind of service anywhere else.

3. Mac and Cheese Bites

5. Chocolate Lava Gnocchi

One of the best things about Trader Joes is all of the innovative and absolutely delicious products they come up with. Think of this product as tiny little lava cakes, but better. Fry these up with a little bit of clarified butter-your tastebuds will explode.

Bursting with cocoa flavor, you will never want to go back to savory gnocchi again. Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, you’ll notice the delectable hazelnut flavor perfectly balanced throughout every bite. Out of all of our favorite Trader Joe finds, this is in our top five.

12. Joe-Joe’s Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies

“No Hydrogenated Oils. All Natural Flavors. Real Vanilla Bean Speckles.”
