I like the fresh food and many great on the go snacks love the fresh sandwiches but they did take my favorite meat from the sandwich area because it wasnt making money and there sushi make me sick but that my stomach being sensitive because my grandfather eats it and doesnt get sick but I think now I dont come as much as much because of the sandwich meat, prosciutto not being there anymore. They make great sandwiches and the bakery and deli have awesome patience theyre really kind and overall they arent bad at make food I love there produce area there fruits and vegetables are fresh and there frozen foods have many different varieties overall I just wish prosciutto was back in the sandwich area πŸ˜‹ πŸ₯–πŸ˜…πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘

A well-stocked big Safeway with efficient cashiers and rarely a long wait. The parking lot often has some litter and occasionally a homeless person.Good location near the freeway and other stores. Large parking lot is rarely full.

I was physically assaulted by a man at the checkout counter in this Safeway on April 16th 2021.I called the police made a report, contacted corporate, still havent heard from anyone. I guess they dont care! Shop at your own risk! Im sure they would have gone above and beyond had it been their mother, grandmother, family member involved!! I figure since it was black on black they minimized the whole incident. I will never step foot in this store ever again!

One of the older and smaller Safeway stores. Often very crowded but the addition of self-checkout has speeded up the checkout lines. Good to have a chain grocery store in the neighborhood along with the wonderful Farmer Joes for produce and other items.

This shop is my go-to shop for my grocery needs. I really like this place a lot because they had a bit of everything that you needed. The salmon that I bought from this shop was so fresh and affordable as well. The entire place was so clean and smells good. The lady at the counter was so friendly and accommodating. A highly recommended grocery shop.

I like this store. Its always clean, the service is great and the meat and produce is always fresh. The only issue I had was self check out because of the new machine. It takes a while to scan because the machine talks after each scan & it was pretty slow for me. I scan items fast & go but it took longer than usual. This store has a deli & meat department as well. Overall my experience is always good here.

Since I wanted to know, I thought I would share so others know as well...this Safeway store does not have an in-store bakery, but they have bakery goods. Not as fresh, such as the French bread, and with limited quantities. Smaller store with a small parking lot.

This is an excellent Safeway located in a great neighborhood! It is conveniently located in the heart of the Dimond district in Oakland. This location has the same wonderful selection that you find at almost all Safeways in the area. The store is never crowded on the weekends, even during major sporting events. The store employees are managing the Covid situation very well and every one wears masks while in the store. The cashiers are very quick and efficient and are very helpful in filling up the bags for you. This location also has a great parking lot that seems to have endless room and feels safe to leave your car while you shop for your groceries. Overall I like visiting this Safeway and always look forward to using this location for my grocery shopping.

As a Real Estate Agent, I can be out on the road for hours. With Covid restrictions, Its a relief to know that I can stop into a Safeway to refresh myself as well as grab a snack.

Review β„–70

A very disorganized store. Nothing seems to be where it would/should be. The amount of locked case for everyday products is really awkward. If you go to CVS 2 blocks away none of the same things are behind locked cabinets. Constantly having to page a staff member and wait for them to open a door for moisturizer or hair dye seems like a waste of time and resources.

They fail to enforce their own mask policy. When asked they told me they cant refuse service, which isnt true. Someone who packs bags at Safeway isnt qualified to interpret the law, even so its pretty easy to understand. So stupid.

I go here a lot due to its location and my need for something mite convenient. The truth is IT IS A SMALL TO MID-SIZED STORE. I THINK THEMANAGER DOES A EXEMPLARY JOB FASHIONING WHAT HE DOES out of what he had to work with. Although it does equate to long lines and most times irritated customers. Preheat than that the veterans is the place are delightful and full of desire to help you. It really shows. The manager (young as he is) is quite the breathe of fresh air compared to your average manager at a food store. He even tried to help me to load a prepaid card they dont even carry OR service! Hate off to these guys. They are younger in years but each tries their best to muster up as much maturity as possible. Kudos to the whole team (crew) at late afternoon to night! Keep up the good work! 😍
