It’s common knowledge that Trader Joe’s is a treasure trove of delectable dishes, desserts, snacks, and seasonal specialties– and their appetizers are no exception. With a plethora of choices ranging from hummus to mac-and-cheese bites, it can be challenging to pick favorites. However, loyal customers of Trader Joe’s have taken the lead in the brand’s annual Customer Choice Awards. This year, the coveted title of Best Appetizer goes to the Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip. Priced at just $3.79 per container, this luscious vegetable dip has secured the top position for the second consecutive year.
Trader Joe’s exclaimed, “Can you believe that vegetables could be this appetizing?” as they announced the victory, suggesting that the dip pairs perfectly with TJ’s Wheat Crisp Crackers ($2.49), toasted baguette slices, or Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips ($3.99). They even recommended spreading it on a burger once the dipping is done!
In the competition for the top appetizer, other contenders included Jalapeño & Cream Cheese Crispy Wontons, Parmesan Pastry Pups, Greek Spanakopita, and Vegetable Bird’s Nests with Soy Dipping Sauce. In addition to the Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Tortilla Chips also claimed the No. 1 spot in both the snack and overall categories. Other beloved products that received accolades include Cashel Blue Cheese Irish Potato Chips for Best New Item, Spiced Cider for Best Beverage, Goat Cheese for Best Cheese, and Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches for Best Sweet Treat.
Upon the announcement of the winning products on social media, devoted fans of the brand eagerly expressed their support, with some even praising an unsung hero of Trader Joe’s— their exceptional customer service. One customer commended, “To be honest… your #1 product is the CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Can you please start selling whatever you’re giving your staff before every shift? I am amazed by how friendly and cheerful they always are! Top Notch.” Another customer shared, “After a tiring day, there is nothing better than being welcomed with a smile while shopping! They ask if I found everything and suggest items to enhance my purchases! ‘Have you tried this?’ No, but I will now!”
