The page wrote, "Real verdict: Not too sweet, not too tart… just dangerously easy to keep going back for. I love lemon desserts, I mean, breakfast goods."
Shoppers agreed. "Tastes like sunshine… perfectly said," wrote one fan. A second posted, "I wanted a little more lemon! But they were still very tasty."
A third taster suggested that the company consider those who have certain food intolerances. "I wish they were gluten-free," they penned.
Trader Joe's describes the product as, "Made with lemon purée, lemon juice, lemon oil, and lemon zest (that's a whole lotta Lemon...), they're indisputably bright, sweet, and cake-y, featuring crunchy Poppy Seeds throughout and a sprinkle of sugar on top."
The description continues, "They're delicious as an on-the-go breakfast option, and cut into quarters, they make excellent additions to brunch buffet boards. Try warming one in the toaster or microwave and topping it with TJ's Lemon Curd-the aromatics alone are well worth the already-exceptionally-reasonable price."
"If Trader Joe's were a bakery, we might already offer them! But Trader Joe's is, proudly, a neighborhood grocery store-one with limited shelf space at that. We must pick and choose our assortment carefully... which is further proof that these limited-edition Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are worthy of the space they've earned on our shelves!"
The muffins retail for $5.49 for a four-pack. Trader Joe's hasn't revealed just how long this springtime favorite will remain on store shelves.
