The Best Trader Joe's Items Added In June 2026

When we were compiling our list of the best Trader Joe's finds of 2026, we were well aware that the beat goes on and new TJ's items are added every month. While some groceries at this beloved store are "all the time" faves (or, at least, "all the time ... for now" since there's a long list of discontinued Trader Joe's products), we live for the fleeting delights of TJ's limited-time buys. They sweep in like June rain, enrich our lives, then sweep out again to make way for what comes next. 

This month, you'll find us prowling the aisles of our local store in search of pistachio gelato, spicy queso, sour cotton candy, and several other yums that brighten our day and make the ho-hum process of grocery shopping more novel and exciting. Keep in mind that availability is subject to change based on location, and that items may sell out quickly. 

There's a difference between ice cream and gelato, and keep in mind that Trader Joe's clearly labels this as a "gelato style frozen dessert." We'll be curious to see if there's a taste difference as well. Pistachio is always a bit of a left-field choice for frozen treats, but it's one with tons of appeal that has us intrigued.

At $3.99 for a 16-ounce container of Italian Pistachio Gelato Style Frozen Dessert, the price is right for scooping up a couple pints for nighttime snacking. 

When we learned how to make a full meal out of frozen dumplings in a salad, we weren't necessarily thinking Korean-style mandu, as gyoza and jiaozi are much more readily available for many people. If there's one food group we love, however, it's savory fillings enclosed in a wrapper and then pan-fried. These potstickers are loaded with a kimchi filling that packs in some heat. It works just as well in the app round as served with rice and veggies for a main dish plate. 

The 16-ounce bag of Mandu Korean Kimchi Potstickers sells for $3.49.

We love some copycat Tostito's queso with Velveeta and Rotel, but you can color us intrigued by the ingredients list of this Trader Joe's dipper. It's made with white cheddar, jalapeños, and a purée of chipotle peppers for both color and spice. With the summertime cookout season upon us, we're loving the possibilities for this, including smearing it on a burger, adding a healthy spoonful into a bowl of freshly shucked sweet corn, or simply scooping it with chips as we lounge poolside. 

A 10-ounce container of Trader Joe's Spicy Queso Dip is $3.99. 

We know what makes sour candy so sour, and Trader Joe's uses citric acid for the pucker in its sour cherry cotton candy. In addition, it contains no artificial colors or flavors, so you can enjoy a rush of pure sugar (and a few other ingredients!). We won't snitch if you sneak a container into the movie theater to enjoy with a summer blockbuster, though be aware this is a limited time product.

A 1.5-ounce container of Trader Joe's Sour Cherry Cotton Candy costs $1.99. 

A major grilled cheese mistake is not varying your cheese(s) up, and we're spellbound by the thought of a toastie made with this aged, brined Spanish sheep's milk cheese that's injected with tomato jam made from Spanish tomatoes. Of course, we also guess it would be a natural star of your summery charcuterie. It's the Trader Joe's Spotlight Cheese for June, meaning we only have so long to savor it. 

A six-ounce package of The Sheepish Tomato cheese sells for $5.99. 

These aren't those strawberry candies your grandmother used to have — these are chewy, sweet gummies made unique by the inclusion of mochi, or glutinous rice. Almost everyone loves gummy candy, but TJ's is coloring the original with a spin on a classic made by a Thai confectioner. They are both priced and sized for on-the-go munching, wherever your summer days might take you. 

These small, five-ounce bags of Strawberry Mini Mochi Gummies sell for $2.29 each. 

Key lime pie is, famously, a regional food that started in Florida, but Trader Joe's is appropriately bringing a taste of sunshine (or the Sunshine State!) to your local store. These crunchy, sweet, tart noshes consist of crisp graham cracker squares enrobed in yogurt candy and Key lime drizzle. Basically, you get all the best parts of a Key lime pie in one bag of poppable treats. We think they would go deliciously with coffee or tea while chatting with friends.

An eight-ounce bag of Key Lime Pie Inspired Grahams sells for $4.99.
