Trader Joe's - Towson

This place is very price conscious for this type of fair. The staff is ultra friendly and they offer many varieties of good quality items at reasonable prices.

I grocery shop here about once a month.

They definitely have a great selection of vegan desserts- cinnamon twists, 73% dark chocolate nonpaiels, cherry chocolate chip soy ice cream, apple strudel, dark-chocolate-covered espresso beans, vegan choc chips, and dark-chocolate covered almonds are my favorite, and they have a ton of other vegan ice creams.

They also have a great selection of vegan ready-made meals- Annie Chung's and several other brands. These tend to be super-high in sodium, though.

They usually have 3 or 4 types of veggie burgers, plus soy nuggets and bacon or sausage.

They have a great selection of nuts, trail mixes, and dried fruit, too. Produce her is good, too, with some organic options. They also have a pretty good selection of breads.

Its also a good place to get stuff like tempeh and flaxmeal, which I usually have trouble finding.

They label vegan items, which is definitely helpful.

The staff is usually very friendly- when workers recognize me, they ask how I'm doing, etc.

They have a list of which cheese are vegetarian (whether they use animal, vegetable, microbial rennet) online, along with lists of their vegetarian and vegan products.

I have found that their product stocking is inconsistent- they will have something, and then the next week they won't.
