Mikey K.Mikey Kilun: Really tightly packed interior with lots of grocery cart traffic jams, and parking is slim, but the staff is beyond cool and everyone treats you like family once you show up a few times.

The RitualsThe Rituals: I know Trader Joe's typically has bad parking but this place is joke. The selection at this particular Joe's is subpar compared others that I go to. A horrible place to grocery shop.
