Trader Joe’s carries a large number of gluten-free foods, and the staff can provide you with a list of their current gluten-free items if you ask.
Some of my favorite gluten-free finds at Trader Joe’s are: muffins (amazing!), meringue cookies, madelines, peanut butter cups, hard kombucha, pasta sauce, fresh pasta, Takis-style chips, and cheese crunchies.
trader joes is great! they have lots of gluten free options and sometimes they even have gf samples. you can get lots of packaged gf meals also, i recommend the mac and cheese! only thing that isn’t great is that a lot of their gf desserts/bread are processed in the same place as wheat items. i do recommend tho because there’s tons of other gf options there!
First off, this is a GROCERY STORE but the staff is amazing and very knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free shopping. The items on the shelves that are gluten free have a shocking pink price tag which indicates it is gluten free. There are many other items in the store that are gluten-free but you may have to look around for them, but the staff can always point you in the right direction. The gluten-free bagels and English muffins are amazing! Don't let the pale pasty look of the English muffin fool you, it toasts up beautifully and can also be used as a bun. The gluten-free chocolate muffins are outstanding!
Lots of GF options. Clean ingredients.
We buy lots of gluten free pasta for my son and never had any problems. They are a staple in our kitchen and his meals.
The only bread we found that was gluten free and egg free is the cinnamon raisin bagels. But there are lots of options if you're not allergic to egg.
We have found that lots of the packaging does a great job of highlighting common allergens.
I'm not a Trader Joe's groupie (I don't get it 🤷) but they do have some good gluten free goodies. I don't go here for regular grocery shopping because they don't have a ton of gf options. I usually go here once or twice a year to get gifts for my family who don't have access to a TJs. There are, however, two things I ALWAYS get for myself while I'm there...their little rice crackers 🤤 and gf arare which I haven't found anywhere else! Both totally worth a visit to TJs 🙌
Clearly marked gluten free items, knowledgeable staff and wide selection of items including bread, bagels, waffles, and crunchy snacks.
Love TJs, I occasionally try their packaged goods and all has been good but I generally go there for the gluten free English muffins and bagels, as well as fruits and veggies. Plenty of options throughout the store, just make sure you are reading the labels on everything. I even found seasonal pumpkin and spice flavored offerings in gluten free versions (pancake mix, marshmallows etc).
This is a grocery store with some prepackaged foods and gluten free grocery options, however I have had some really bad reactions to their Trader Joe's branded gluten free items so please proceed with caution. I got very sick after eating their gluten free muffins, as well as their gluten free frozen mac and cheese. I wouldn't consider their food celiac safe.
Reviewing this after eating an “almost” everything bagel. Unreal. I had to check the bag to make sure it was really gluten free. I also picked up fresh GF chocolate muffins, English muffins (in fresh section but cold after being frozen during the evenings), fresh GF egg fettuccine. Thank you Trader Joe’s!
Gluten free gems to be found here! Try the Ube pancake mix and the tamari crackers, so delicious and definitely did not make me sick at all! It is important to be aware that none of the Trader Joe brand products are certified gluten free, however they do have some certified gluten free products like Partake cookies and Chomp sticks. The wine price and selection is the main reason we go here, the organic Trader Joe’s merlot is amazing and tastes way more expensive than $7. The staff here are so nice and helpful, too! The downsides are the same as all Trader Joe’s in that the store can be very crowded, especially on the weekend, and parking is limited. It is totally worth braving the cramped parking lot and crowds for the deals here, though!
The amount of times I've been glutened from Trader Joe's and kept giving them a chance- I've finally given up but not because I want to! Their bakery items are usually what got me but I've also had cross contamination gluten from even their canned veggies. Just not worth it to me. They need to have official labels or not say "gluten free". It might be good enough for gluten sensitive folks but not for celiacs.
For there to be a comment about dining at Trader Joe’s, it is something of a misnomer. They have no menu. Trader Joe’s is a grocery store, not a restaurant or diner.
That being said, they DO offer samples. So if you’re GF, ask them if what they are sampling is GF.
Now on to my review. Trader Joe’s has LOADS of GF options, you just have to read the labels. My favorites are their bagels, and their cinnamon muffins, which go great with coffee. Of course, any “real” ice cream without any added things will be gluten free, my favorite is their Premium Vanilla Ice Cream.
The GF Hearts of Palm pasta is better than some of the other GF alternatives.
