Safeway

Came here for four graduation cakes that I pre ordered and called twice about. I arrive and not only was there a line, but they completely forgot to make two of the cakes I ordered. I was able to speak to the manager on duty, Conrad, (thank you!) and he was able to help me out with the situation. We were compensated but the bakers on duty were not so helpful with the situation. We asked for new name plates for «Congrats» and they were completely smushed and terribly done, even though they were given an ample amount of time to complete it.
Not sure if I’ll be coming back to the bakery, but I do hope they do something to possibly better train their staff and ensure their preorders are made and ready.

Complete shopping hazard. They just remodeled, which is great but as I am shopping here at 12:37 am there are so many lights off. It’s an accident waiting to happen, one day Safeway customers will trip and fall and sue the store for not providing adequate lighting. I’m sure by law there is a certain amount of light required per square footage and with boxes and palettes of product everywhere… very risky. You seriously have to use a flashlight to shop. Some isles like chip, soda, ice cream etc are completely blacked out with not one single light in that WHOLE isle. I spoke to an employee and asked what was going on and she said the lights are completely messed up and they are having a hard time seeing the product to stock. If I were a Safeway employee I wouldn’t be able to work in the dark. It would stress my eyes out too much. Apparently Safeway doesn’t care much about their employees. Safeway can’t afford to make the shopping experience comfortable and lit, please don’t be open 24 hours. It’s seriously a safety issue and no one likes to shop using a flashlight. Please turn the lights on or don’t be open 24 hours. I hope someone falls and has a serious accident and sues Safeway, only then will they learn their lesson. Even Bank of America leaves theirs lights on at night and they are not even open… Safeway, let there be light!!!

This is the closest Safeway to my work. I was looking to pick up the big jäger handle but they were all out! They didn’t even have the small bottle… are they all out cause edc is this weekend? Guess everyone else had the same idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was trying to facebook message my friends to ask them if we should get some other alcohol, but the reception was so horrible, so I just got a case of water for $ 1.99, a bag of cheddar jalapeño cheetos for $ 2.49, and 4 monsters for $ 1.67 ea, but no alcohol :’(
2.5 stars for no jäger and crappy reception, but I rounded up because the cashier was very kind!
*Anxiously waiting for the weekend to come already as I write this pointless review during work LOL*

One star to the person I spoke to at the bakery today, over the phone. Otherwise, I would definitely give no stars.
I called last night between 7:30−8 to place an order for a cake. The lady that I spoke to said they are no longer taking orders for cake to call back tomorrow.
It’s finally tomorrow, and I called to place an order for a cake to pick up at 50, and yet again I am told they can not take my order for the afternoon since the baker is gone. The lady recommend I call other Safeways’.
No luck. I am cake less for my brother’s birthday. Definitely not coming back or ordering from here again.

Safeway here has a large selection of microbrews (compared to other safeways). pricing of big bottles 10% cheaper if one buys 6.(unsure if mix or match applies)
brew: Green Flash, double IPA (6.99)
–very hoppy, 7ish%, quick buzz
on draught:
–lines not a problem noonish saturday
–parking takes time to find.

I have been shopping at this safe way for the last 30’years. I do know never to shop at night and the store was old and straight up. Now let me tell you this is not the same store 30 years ago it’s completely remodeled and looks phenomenal! They finally did it and I am so happy to see it become the way it is. I have always been true to this Safeway even with all the problems it has. It so much better and nicer Great job Safeway !! You totally deserve it !

Still under remodel… But way nicer then like two months ago! So glad they decided to remodel finally it looked like it was trapped in the 70s! Much happier to be shopping here now. Can’t wait until the entire bakery and deli area is completed!

Yay, finally they started renovating the place. It is already more inviting.

Haven’t been here for awhile and I was a little hesitant because it was never a good experience, but today was a complete different feel. It is under construction but all of the workers were pleasant and helpful. I can’t wait until it is completely done.

I’ll give them two stars for being close to my house, but that’s about it. Selection and organization of food might not be that good, but the worst part is that there is always a line and only one register open. I usually shop after work around 9 – 10 and it takes a good 10min to check out. If you know there is heavy traffic flow around this time why can’t you guys open another register? I always hear them say 3 is a line and they’ll open another register but that happens once in a blue moon.

This has been my local store for the past year and a half and the look of it has changed dramatically. The look inside is completely different and now matches the more modern, clean look of the Rivermark and Calaveras stores and the products are organized much better. Renovations are still going on so hope they also update the outside of the store since that still looks ugly and old.

Waited 20 minutes for two items. No one follows the express line rules of 15 item limit and no one enforce it. Sad what is the point? Their parking lot is congested and dirty. They don’t have a self checkout like other safeways in nicer neighborhoods. To me this is just another example of discrimination. This is another example why people prefer trader joes over the big box stores.

It’s great for if you need anything quickly. A lot of transients in the parking lot asking for money when you enter or exit the store.
The store is not very well staffed and there is always a line even if you only need 2 – 3 items. Go here if it’s a must, don’t if it’s anything else.

I love Safeway when it comes to grocery shopping. You can never find any fault with the produce, chips, bakery items and the selection at the deli! When I’m really cravings carbs and protein, the chicken tenders and the potato wedges are great! I love the clam chowder and the bread bowl is right next to the soup center!
I just wished that there were more workers to accommodate the busi-​ness of the store.

Having lived in the neighborhood adjacent to this Safeway for nearly 20 years, I can easily say that this store doesn’t even cut it for emergency runs. I try hard not to go there, even though I still end up there every now and then.
In the past, I’ve come for simple things like 2.5 gallons of distilled water, and the shelves would not be stocked. Last time I came for buttermilk, and not only was it in the wrong place, but when I finally found it, it was already past the expiration date.
The food is poorly organized making it difficult to find the things you need, and there just never seems to be enough employees, no matter the time of day. In July of 2015, I actually found everything I was looking for (probably a first for me), but I still couldn’t make it a quick trip. There must have been only 2 cashiers and at least 20 – 30 people in line — I was waiting long enough I actually counted 12 in my line, and I could tell the other line was just about as long. Not once did I hear a cashier call for help over the PA.
Despite all of this, I don’t blame the employees — most of which tend to be friendly if you have a positive attitude around them. Clearly the managers or owners of this Safeway franchise location are the problem. They are too cheap to care at all about their customers’ experiences! If I know I’m not going to get the products I’m looking for, why would I go here? I’ll just drive another 5 minutes to the Milpitas location where shelves are fully stocked, products are logically organized, floors are cleaner, and employees are more helpful. I’d probably make the trip faster despite the longer distance.

Moving from Rivermark Safeway Plaza to this… Not fun. In all honesty, most of the staff is very accommodating and friendly. Although there are people who really shouldn’t be working there. Making comments on the type of cuisine I bought and giving me a snarky comment about the ethnic make up of this area. Hey, I married one… Don’t give me that sh** when I just want to buy my groceries in peace. I always check the cashiers, even though there might be longer lines, I do everything to avoid this person.
It’s not the cashiers fault that they can’t open more registers. But yeah, it does bother me that this particular Safeway can’t keep up with demands. Over and over again.
Selection is generally really good and well stocked.
Again, most of the personnel is really friendly and are willing to help you. I even want to give some of them 5 starts! Produce section gets 4 stars.

While I have great memories of coming here as a kid with my grandparents, it just hasn’t kept up with the times. The parking lot is difficult (to say the least), and produce prices aren’t that great.
I stopped by to grab some Advil (overpriced, even with Safeway’s ‘everyday deals’) and some apples (also more expensive than local competition). I was charged for a more expensive apple than I had selected too!

I don’t like coming here because the parking lot is really dark and a girl like me, cannot be coming to this Safeway at night. There is literally always just ONE person at the register.
This Safeway is definitely not the newer, looking ones. and I love those modern looking locations. This one, no. This one is smaller and older. I hope they remodel sometime soon… or later.
I literally only come here for alcohol.

Parking: big outside lot shared with the shopping center. Area is kinda sketch so be aware of your surroundings. The CVS across the way tends to have homeless people outside and solicitors. I think there’s a ‘coffee shop’ next door with its windows curtained it seems suspicious what’s going on in there.
Inside: not that nicel. I dunno if this location has been here long or they didn’t allot a big budget to this location but it’s smaller and it seems dingy compared to other Safeways. No self checkouts. Could use some renovation or maybe they prefer to keep this location this way to match the neighborhood?
I’ve tried couponing here and the lady carefully read each one and was picky about it so that put a damper on that shopping trip, but it’s close to home so I still go here if I have to and don’t feel like driving further to grocery shop elsewhere. And they have Redbox here.

Been come to this Safeways for years now. It is one of the old ones. I have no complaints about the items they sell here. I usually come here for the meat. Cause for some reason the meat at Savemart has a fun color to it. Over all the store alright to shop at. But me myself I only come here if I’m in a rush and can’t go to the Safeway in Milpitas on calaveras or the one on rivermart in Santa Clara.
