Safeway

Long Lines constantly. Not sure why, don’t really care, just needs to be fixed. This store has changed since first opened. I used to come in, know the checkers, say hi, bring in cookies, etc… for them. Now don’t know anyone, it seems the new checkers come and go (Revolving door). If I go in after 8 PM there is line of 9 + plus people, 1 check stand with checker open, and an even larger line for self check out, they opened another checkstand only to close the other one to give break. No Carts outside to grab when coming in.
Everyone in line is complaining… the energy shopping here is so negative… the customers are mad, the checkers are getting it from customers for the lines… what happened???
I used to love coming here. Did management change? I bought some shrimp recently and it was in the fridge one day and smelled rancid along with my whole fridge. When you start buying bad food = Bad Business. I will not buy fish or meat here anymore.
Honestly, this Safeway is close to home and Post Office, but going to check out other markets close by, the time to go out of way = the long lines. I have enough negative energy on the road commuting to work…
This happened June 23, 2016 and I heard a gal who was clearing out registers say, they left and were supposed to come back at 8:30 PM, so they obviously had someone not come back… WHY are they not coming back???.

Went to Safeway this morning was craving crab have had a couple incidents with the Butcher or whatever you call him in the beanie. I live in the neighborhood and just want decent meet and experience pure rudeness I don’t appreciate poor customer service when I’m spending top dollar…

** this review is only for their meat section!
this isn’t my neighborhood Safeway, but my brothers decided to stop by to pick up some last minute groceries for Father’s Day. we were looking at meat and picked up a value pack of beef/​steak and I was observing it and found a LIVING bug inside.
we told the guy behind the counter (meat department) and he didn’t sound concern at all. we asked him for some service when it came to ordering our chicken and steak and he was very unorganized and almost gave us the wrong item until we checked in with him.
but overall, we purchased over the counter steak and chicken (not prepackaged). and after preparing them, it was delicious. but if I could, I definitely would of went else wear for my meat products!

3’s a crowd??? BS! Now in the line 15 mins with five ahead of me at cash 7 and the same for cash 8 and except for self check out, no other cashes open. Wow!

Went to the deli today to grab three sandwiches. There was one person in front of me and the total time was just over 30min for me to get my food. This would have been somewhat okay if the employee Naria was actually polite or seemed to care at all. Never smiled very rude glares when asked for anything, will not be visiting the deli again.

Love it, very clear and just so close to my home

What can I say… it’s Safeway… they are close to my house, so I’m there more than I want to be…
Always long slow lines. prices…well $ 10 for a roasted chicken, you figure it out. Yet still I go like a fish caught in a fishbowl year after year.
Yes I do go to other better places to shop… but it’s that convenience factor if you know what I mean.
Argh!!! It’s like an addiction lol.

It would be nice if they had more registers open the wait time is ridiculous and makes me want to avoid coming here

We Love going here. They have great prices prices on the Gas & all the Staff is great. The Staff in the StarBucks is Always great too. Thank you Safeway!

JUST DON’T GO HERE, EVER… if you value your safety. An assault occurred inside the store by a young man that was clearly drunk but also under the influence of something much worse. The assault got uglier when this jacked up kid, maybe 21 or 22, took it outside to prove something. He was attacking an older woman who had asked him to lower his voice while he was threatening a woman and her small child inside the store. He went as far as taking a swing at her as she walked to her car, trying to end the situation. The manager did nothing and had to be coerced into calling the police even though his employees gave him their eye witness account of the situation. After doing some research I found that this is not the first time something like this has happened in relation to Safeway and it is policy not to get involved. I can’t prove that but it sure seems to be true from what I witnessed. In addition to Safeway’s lack of caring for their customer’s safety, they still sold the already drunk kid alcohol.

This review is for the bakery.
I had to order a cake for my daughters birthday and I was a little iffy ordering it from a Safeway instead of the Hispanic Panaderias I usually went to.
I don’t like regular sponge cake and I was glad to see that they offered Tres Leches. The baker was there so we could ask him a few questions. They had the design I wanted with the filling and everything was set to pick up in two days. I was blown away by how GREAT the cake was. Staff is super friendly and efficient! Definitely getting my next cake here again!

I was on a time crunch and was looking for a very specific (and apparently rare) bottle of Zinfandel for a customer of mine. This was the second Safeway I’d stopped at and I still couldn’t find it on the shelves.
In desperation, I went to the customer service section. Lo and behold, an angel in the form of a human, cloaked in a majestic Safeway apron, stood before me. She was surging with energy, sprang across the store, and zipped back to me, with the desired wine in hand.
Five stars for amazing customer service (though I’d like to see a wine associate more readily available)!

Large Safeway with a big parking lot. Gas prices are cheaper than most places in the area, if you earn gas rewards with your club card it reduces the price by 10 cents per gallon, if you pay with cash or debit card it also reduces the price by 10 cents a gallon so you can get a pretty good deal on gas here!

If you would’ve asked me to review this place 2 years ago, I would’ve said… «uhhhh, it’s a grocery store, numb nuts. What for?!?»
Well, fast forward 2 years…
«uhhhh, it’s a grocery, numb nuts. But, what the hell, SURE!!»
Actually, this review is more for the bakery. But, in terms of the actual grocery store part, it’s one of the nicest I’ve been to. The store always seems to be immaculately clean. They have a Starbucks inside, a deli which even serves decent Chinese food (decent, not authentic), and a bakery that makes delicious treats… BUT…
Something seems to have changed over the last 2 years. We have ordered numerous cakes over the last few years. Our favorite is the tres leches cake… when done right. And, I’m not just talking about the cake itself. Some examples of the multiple hiccups the last few times we have ordered:
1) Two times the cake wasn’t available at the said time. When you have parties of 50+ guests waiting to cut the cake, that’s not good. By the time we got the cake and got it to the park, half the people left. Which means, we were stuck with most of the full-​sheet cake we ordered.
2) We drew a simple illustration and wrote down on their order sheet of what was supposed to be on the cake. They failed at the orientation of the writing and messed up the colors. We told them to correct it and they got it wrong again. Not only that, they made it worse by putting red flecks on a yellow cake. By that time, we were so late, we just forget it.
3) One of our cakes was shown to us and it looked good. When transferring it to the box behind the counter, they must’ve hit something. But, instead of fixing it, they put it in the box anyway and handed it to us. If you’re thinking it was messed up during transport, think again. There was NO frosting on the box, meaning it was done before putting it in the box.
4) Several times, the cake itself was wrong. One time, butter cream was used instead of whip cream. Another time, white cake was used instead of tres leches. And another time, the «leches» part was extremely minimal.
We’ve still came back even after a few issues, because the tres leches cake is not only very good, but the price is phenomenal for only about $ 50 for a full-​sheet cake. However, with all these issues the last few times, I am going to have to seriously consider going to another place like Sweet Passions or La Patisserie in where the cakes are better, but cost more.

5 stars for excellent product and super awesome service ! Tips: try to avoid this strawberry cake at all cost ! It is super super sweet basically taste like nothing but sugar.

Best Safeway I’ve ever been. It’s very organized and clean. It has a good selection of Organic products. Much more choices on meat and fish compared to other Safeways.
The stuff is kind and helpful. There’s lot of parking space and they prepare trays of delicious sushi on site.

24 hours = win!
A few years ago they redecorated this store. Now, it has a much more of a market feel which is very nice and aesthetically pleasing.
I came here to pick up an orchid for Mother’s Day. There was pretty much every color of the rainbow to chose from as well as many sizes available. I was really impressed by this and was caught off guard by all the selections before me. They also had large orchids potted in gorgeous vessels and planted with ivy and such. These were expensive, but very appropriate for Mother’s Day.
In regards to groceries, it’s GMO city galore. Anything organic is overpriced unless you have coupons.
I do enjoy the Club Card perks such as gas discounts and free items to get you into the store.
Also, they recently joined Shopkick, which is a plus.

Safeway store and gas.
Very good prices for the gas, if you spend a lot of money for groceries, like I do, you can get up to $ 1.00 off per gallon of gas up to 25 gallons max. I always get this deal and take advantage of it for my gas guzzling sports car and SUV. Be careful when it gets packed. The prices are so good, they have long lines and sometimes people cut people off in the gas lines and I have witness hilarious confrontations between drivers who get upset with getting cut of and sometimes the Safeway employee directing traffic gets in the middle. Where is my mobile video camera when this happens. :)
I do shopping at Safeway too because I have their club card and I spend so much money here a month, I get thrown an unbelievable amount of freebies, and incredible Just for ME coupons. Love it when they take care of their customers. :)
The store itself is easy to navigate and the #1 thing i like here is their produce is top quality! Their meat and seafood counter are also good.
Go early or late, otherwise you will be with the crowds.

It’s just like Costco gas but without the crazy long lines and membership fee’s. There are also more pumps so I am a fan of that. Prices were much cheaper than anything else in the area. This is a great concept for grocery stores and I hope they open more!
This particular station was very very clean and well organized, because there are more pumps for each row, they had attendants out guiding people on where to go if a spot opens up when you are in line. They had a small store next door but I didn’t go in.

Great savings, but 6 ½ miles away from my house :-(
I earn up to 70 cents off from shopping trips and using my Safeway Just For U account, but have to make a special trip here. As in, make sure I have at least two or three other places to go to justify the fill-​up here.
The lines during the morning weekday hours are pretty tame. I wouldn’t even try on the evenings or weekends.
OPEN MORE STATIONS, SAFEWAY!!!
