I've only been to the local one a couple to times, but I like their pizzas. I don't remember the specific type, but I believe it has a fried crust of some type. Doesn't sound good, but it is. I may drop by there again next time I'm in the area.
My complete list would be way too long, but here are a few.
Nuts. Great prices and excellent selection
Pasta sauce, pasta. Good and inexpensive.
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Almond croissants
Frozen hashbrowns (I hate when I run out of these!)
Tandoori Naan
Mini samosas (so so good)
Cookie butter (I can't buy this anymore because I can't stay out of it)
Brown Butter Salted Caramel Mini Biscotti (probably the best biscotti I have ever tasted)
Corn puffs (white cheddar or sour cream and onion - both are fabulous)
Triple Ginger cookies (another thing I don't buy anymore because they are TOO good)
Frozen beef & broccoli
5 Cheese Greek Spiral (OMG)
Lots more but those are the ones I can think of as all-time faves.
Dang! You beat me to it. We buy several of those "Unexpected Cheddar" when we're in CA. And those round cheese crackers in a long tube, don't know the name. They go perfectly together.
We have a plate of those for a whole meal in front of TV.
It's a real treat for us, coming from way down here. And cheaper than our local supermarket (due to import costs).
DH goes insane if there aren't any Ghost Pepper potato chips in our house. He gets cranky if I don't buy the Mexican Elote corn chips. His internist blames those two things for his increased blood pressure.
i have tried various chips from trader joes over the years, and every single bag bar none has been stale. i keep trying and it keeps happening.

Not everything Trader Joe's makes is good, but probably 3/4 is (IMO), which is a very good hit rate.
TJ's Dark Chocolate Mint Creams. Sometimes you can find them on Amazon, but IME they don't ship too well except in winter. They arrive melted into a lump. Gnawing away at that lump is messy!
Haven't been to a TJ in person in years. The stores I shopped at used to offer one brand of really good fresh baked Tandoori Naan bread.
Forgot a more recent discovery: TJ's Peppermint Hot Chocolate mix. Seems to be a seasonal/holiday item. The instructions suggest mixing with hot milk, but I try to save a step and calories (yeah, who am I trying to kid? ) and use hot water. Still great!
