August can be an awkward time in the year.

From pop-up heatwaves to storms, it's the kind of weather only the best ice cream treat can alleviate — so, thank goodness Trader Joe's knows us all so well. This month, the grocer is providing transitional products to get you through whatever any August day might bring.

But that's half the fun of a Trader Joe's run.

You may have thought these Middle Eastern Style Kebabs TJ's customers have enjoyed off and on over the years were gone forever. But now they're back! Fans all have individual preferences on how these beef, onion, and savory spice-packed kebabs should be served. However, there is one thing fans agree upon: these kebabs need to be air-fried for the best flavor. So, with that advice, enjoy them before they disappear again.

Grab a 12-ounce bag of Trader Joe's Middle Eastern Style Kebabs for around $7.

Trader Joe's "PB & J" Filled Crepes are made with wheat flour, layered with peanut butter and a strawberry filling, and individually rolled and wrapped to enjoy wherever and whenever hunger strikes. Made for and enjoyed by all ages, they're "a nice, easy to grab snack when you don't wanna eat something too big," according to one fan on Reddit. For that fresh-from-the-bakery flavor, give them a few seconds in the microwave first.

Here for a limited time, Trader Joe's has a handheld treat that is not to be missed. With the Hot Fudge Sundae in a Handful! Confectionery Coated Almonds, Trader Joe's takes the flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and cherry and swaddles them around crunchy almonds. Fans say it's actually two separate almond-covered flavors that bring the total sundae taste successfully together. That seems like a good reason to eat them as assigned: by the handful.

Grab a bag of Hot Fudge Sundae in a Handful Confectionery Coated Almonds for under $4.50.

A member of the Tasting Table team actually had the pleasure of reviewing this Trader Joe's Paneer Indian Style Cheese and was happy to report that this cheese was everything they hoped it would be. Made along with Kristen Carli's Simple Palak Paneer Recipe, the reviewer found it a treat to cook with and eat — adding a silky, creamy, mild flavor that was perfect. The price is hard to beat, even if you do have a local Indian grocer.

Strozzapreti egg pasta, broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini are the stars of Trader Joe's Pasta Primavera, and the fans are eating it up. Some fans went back and forth regarding the amount of sauce, but it turns out this may be a Goldilocks situation — just right. "It's less sauced than most TJ's pastas, but there's still enough to coat all the pasta and veggies," noted one Redditor. Apparently, this allows for the rich sauce to maintain and not overwhelm the other flavors.

Grab a 16-ounce bag of Trader Joe's Pasta Primavera for around $4.50.

Rumor has it that supplier issues kept this fan-favorite Coconut Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate off store shelves last year. But word is out, and fans are clamoring to grab this old seasonal favorite. So, you may have to stand in line to get yours. Each bottle contains enough concentrate to make 12 8-ounce servings, just in case you want to stock up. This cold brew is that good!

Customers seem a bit sheepish themselves over this new Trader Joe's cheese. But we're here to tell you to go for it! The Sheepish Pesto is a semi-firm cheese, aged a minimum of six months, made from sheep's milk, and infused with all the color and flavor of a rich pesto. Bold and interesting on its own, but also a delightful companion in many dishes. Let's say, if you love pesto and you love cheese — this is for you.

You can get around 5 ounces of Trader Joe's The Sheepish Pesto for around $6.50.

Fans are talking about how much they like this new dark chocolate bark from Trader Joe's, although some were tentative about trying it. One fan on Reddit admitted they didn't realize there was jalapeño in it until they dug in and said, "I don't think I would have tried it otherwise, but I love it!" Reviewers find the chocolate tastes high-quality, the sea salt elevates flavors, the pistachios complement it with crunch, and the jalapeño adds just a little depth and warmth.

Get some Dark Chocolate Bark with pistachios, dried jalapeños, and sea salt for around $6.

Partnering with Hardywood Park Craft Brewery of Virginia, Trader Joe's is offering the taste of a creamsicle a little bit differently this summer in the form of the 6% ABV, Hardywood Tangerine Cream Ale — and fans say it hits the bullseye. "Delicious" and "amazing" are just a couple of words customers on Reddit used to describe the ale that apparently does taste remarkably like a creamsicle. If that sounds like the kind of vibe you need for the end of summer, you better get to TJ's quick. This is a limited-time offer.
