Safeway

The bakery in this Safeway is top notch!!! I ordered three different types of birthday cakes for all of my family’s birthdays that fall in January. My baby niece got her mini smash cake with delicious fresh fruit on top, my mom got the strawberry shortcake, and I got the Boston cream cake.
Every single one was such a great hit, fresh, fluffy, and tasty!
I received so many compliment from many of our guests on the strawberry shortcake that I already have a few requests to buy this type of cake for future birthdays!
Everyone at this baker is so helpful and the prices are so reasonable.
Thank you Safeway!!!

Watch the register. I’m always overcharged for at least 1 item that’s marked «on sale».
Also watch the baggers, this is the 3^rd time in 2 months I’ve made it home without something I’ve paid for. Bummer.

I live 2 miles from here. I was told to come here to buy 6 bottles of wine, because something about a discount on 6 bottles and about tasting before buying. I was told they had a bar and tastings. So, I went into the bar area and sat down at a table. A second later, a couple (a Caucasian man and a Caucasian woman) sat down at another table across from me. The bartender went to the couple. Gave them the first tasting. Then the 2^nd second tasting. Still has not acknowledged me. How much time do you think has passed? I mean, for the bartender to greet the couple, ask them how they’re doing, ask for their order, discuss what they like, answer questions, pour two tastings, serve the tastings, follow up to get their opinions of the samples, and even washed the glasses. Confused yet? Yeah. Point is, too effing long.
I thought, oh, maybe he didn’t see me. Still sitting at the table patiently. Maybe he can only serve one table at a time. You know, someone who doesn’t multi-​task very well. Whatever. After waiting so long, I moved to the bar. He finally he looks at me. It takes a few more minutes for him to actually approach me and ask what I wanted to drink. Doesn’t apologize for the wait. So I just asked for a taste of the pinot noir they had on special. I took a taste and where they had it shelved. The bottle was over $ 30 and I bought it.
I went about to pick other bottles of wine and headed to the register. The cashier was so rude. She had this «yelling as a normal way of talking» about her. I’m just being kind. She was rude. My first reaction was, wth is her problem. Whatever it was, it was unpleasant. I paid and walked out. As I was in the parking lot, I thought how horrible I was treated. Seriously, a friggin grocery store. LOL Ridiculous. My initial thought was, maybe these workers are just dumb. Maybe expecting average service was just «too much» for this location. Considering someone to be dumb would be better than to think they were racist. Racism rarely ever crosses my mind. But when I walked out of the store, I felt a sadness… as if I was judged… rather than someone was just being dumb…
That was my first and last visit. I hope Safeway corporate reads this post. I’m saving it just in case it gets mysteriously removed. Additional training would be much appreciated. Perhaps, training on overall human respect.

Great New Safeway store. Plenty of knowledgeable staff, and the selves are always stacked. Buffalo wings hot bar, fresh donuts, a bar, Starbucks all included in your visit to this location. No problems so far.

This review is actually for the Starbucks counter inside of Safeway! I stop here pretty regularly on my way to work and the wonderful ladies at the counter are always so sweet and delightful {even at 6:30 AM!}. There are about 10 Starbucks along my route to work but these ladies have me coming back time after time! There’s nothing better that kicking off your work day with warm smiles and a delicious Starbucks Cold Brew!

Just moved to AZ and went through the process of getting a new license. Have a temporary license issued by the MVD. It has a barcode and all to be scanned. You guys apparently don’t take it. That’s unfortunate.

Horrible. I normally shop at Fryes and today I’m sorry I didn’t! How much do you have to spend to have help bagging your groceries? I spent well over 300 and had to bag my own. Not to mention I was shopping with my 12month old fussy and screaming. Really? NEVER happened at fryes. Also bc I was busy bagging my groceries they forgot half my cart! They suck just saying

Just a small nitpick… Actually put some cherry filling in your Cherry Turnovers! The last package of 4 I bought had just a tiny amount in the otherwise air filled center…
Otherwise I love the store. Great selection and service!

I always use this grocery store as it has everything I need and it has the best sandwiches around. Also has a great wine and spirits area with a ton of selections.

I love this Safeway.
They have a deli, Starbucks, a bakery and even a bar in the back.
Its always clean, stocked and organized.
They have a great produce section and a large selection of organic produce too.
I love the floral section –lots of pretty arrangements.
They have $ 5 pastry trays and cookie trays for your last minute office/​work treats.
Do yourself a favor and get the Safeway App. You can save lots of $ and it’s easy to use.

I popped into Safeway today to grab some fruit to make fruit salad and some wine. It started as a simple trip but as I shopped the wine I decided now was time to step up my game and take them up on their 6 bottle deal because really, that’s a steal.
After that I headed to get some fruit, I was on the fence on whether or not to get a real pineapple or sliced and then I realized that I know nothing about picking out a pineapple. I asked the produce guy how to pick a pineapple and he was awesome! A wealth of information, even taking the time to help me pick one, giving me advice on ripening fruit fast. Did you know that bananas ripen faster in the bunch? I didn’t! I wish I got his name…
I paid and was happily on my way home. On the journey from my car to my house, the wine holder gave out from the bottom and I lost 3 bottles of wine! 3 bottles!!! I took a deep breath and called the manager, hopeful but not assuming, and asked if they could replace the wine. The manager I spoke with was very sympathetic and kind, telling me to bring the receipt and they would take care of me. WOW! Just like that!
I went back (with my own reusable bag) and they replaced my wine, no questions asked. Thank you Safeway! I’ll be toasting to you tonight!

Let’s preface this is a chain grocery store. Why this location stands out is what makes it not only unique but a boutique to me. The stellar customer service is unmatched. I have yet to shop here where there is an unhappy employee. These people love delighting their customers. They wear a smile like it’s their name tag! Maybe they are always smiling because of the clientele that shops here. This store is full of beautiful people. You can forget just wearing your sweats because The One might be standing in THAT aisle. Crap, the parking lot itself is a drool session if you love exotic fast cars.
When you finally peel yourself out of that side mirror for your IG selfie, inside the store is immaculate. The floral department can outdo 1800Flowers for half the cost and more the wow factor. The deli section is perfect for singletons with the most healthy made-​to-​order menu items. I suggest the chicken artichoke sandwich with their tomato basil soup. I feel healthy just ordering it especially in my gym clothes. My fave aisle is really the alcohol aisle, not for the obvious, it houses an in-​store bar that you can catch a game while you sucker your shopping buddy to do the adult duties of checking off the grocery list. In fact, they offer a service where you can fill your own decanter of their beers on tap. Grab a seat at the bar and let Alex, the wine master, rattle off the top draft beers and wine suggestions to add to your home collection.
I have to admit it, grab a seat on the outside patio or inside lounge area (yes folks it is equipped with a flat screen and wi-​fi), it is purely entertaining to see a grocery store be the hot spot on weekends. Naturally, I stand out in my gymrat sweats because Martha Stewart duties shouldn’t be this sexy and require me to be dolled up. Happy hunting shoppers!!!

I really like this Safeway. It is in a beautiful location in Scottsdale. They have plenty of seating for both the deli and the Starbucks inside. They also have a Wells Fargo inside. They offer free wifi. I went grocery shopping and ended up having coffee and staying for a while. Lovely indoor and outdoor seating.

Pretty much judging grocery stores on their chicken lately. This one has a good price at $ 5.99 for whole chickens when they are on sale. They also have pulled chicken sometimes in the deli area, but each tin is packed differently and not all contain all breast meat, which is annoying to me. Safeway has never had great sandwich meat and they don’t use Boars Head, but there is a dude making sushi in there and he usually also offers samples. The self checkout lanes are usually always clear and the staff is almost always helpful as well. Redbox machine is also available. The parking lot needs to have cameras and more security as I was involved in a recent incident where video would have made a difference.

This Safeway is amazing they have a bar in it Danny is the bartender and he is great what more could you ask for then a beer while your shopping this is definitely a destination location for me

Pretty well kept for an older store. Use the self checkout for a speedy in and out.

This Safeway has a good sandwich and hot deli as well and tasty bakery.
If you frequent Safeway, the app with coupons you can load are a must. Great deals and you can often get things up to $ 2 off.
This location is always clean, the staff is friendly and the produce section is usually good. Sometimes the bread and salad selection badly needs to be restocked.

Yes I am reviewing a Safeway. I swear I have my reasons: THE Safeway Café.
I told my boyfriend that we should pick up Subway on the way home and once he realized the Subway by my house was next to Safeway, he said, «We should go to the sub bar in Safeway!» I retorted, «Whhhhhhhattttt!!!» Needless to say he proved me wrong.
You can get any kind of sub with 6 different kinds of bread. They put lots of meat on the sub so you won’t feel jipped. The meat is of very high quality compared to most sub joints (my Italian sub had prosciutto on it). Also, your chicken breast is actually recognizable as a chicken breast and not some weird chicken breast composite.
The customer service is always great and friendly. They didn’t even mind my indecisiveness… I hate it when I am like that. Also, after you buy 7 subs, you get the 8^th one free! The subs only cost $ 4.99−5.49 and you can add on a drink and a pretty large bag of chips (the 2.5servings– size) for only a $ 1!
This of course doesn’t compare to DeFalco’s, but if I am in a hurry and just picking up something quick at the store this is a great option… and much better than Subway, Jimmy John’s, Quizno’s, Blimpie’s etc.

By far the best Safeway I have been to! For a Canadian, the Scottsdale store knocks our local stores out of the park. This location has been recently renovated and expanded. It now has a large liquor section, complete with just about anything you could imagine and yes, even a tasting bar! They have a large produce section, with plently of organic choices. As part of the renovation, they also relocated Starbucks and expanded their seating area. Grab a coffee and the paper, and relax in their lounge, watching TV or sitting in front of the fire.
Overall this store is not overly hectic or crowded, and they have very friendly staff. It’s my go-​to grocery store when I’m in Scottsdale.

Nice, clean, large grocery store with great variety, good sale prices, lots of registers (regular and self-​checkout) and a nice layout. All in all, an excellent local grocery store — perfect for weekly shopping, quick stop-​ins and weird recipe ingredients.
They have really great service — the manager cracked jokes as he helped me find what I was looking for, the deli counter guy was super helpful when I was deciding between varieties of Swiss cheese, and the checkout people are efficient (and they don’t have that wish-​I-​were-​anywhere-​else look, either — they’re nice).

The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is that there are some suuper fancy, newly remodeled stores that are just a tiny bit nicer. I’m so glad we live near such a great store!
