I went on a Monday at 5:00 PM because I was starving but had to get something to eat that could be…read moreprepared really quickly due to time... and QFC happen to be in the same plaza so I decided to go to the deli there. It was actually nice that it was the first and closest thing to me when I walked in the doors. The cold section, where they dish you up the amount of food you want, was a little smaller than most delis but they had all the key, typical food that you would be looking for anyway In fact they had two chicken salads that you don't typically see in deli's and they were both delicious. The cranberry and pecan chicken salad, as well as another one that I now can't remember. Both employees were away from the counter working but we're paying close attention to see if customers approached the counter which is really nice since often times at delis they have a tendency to kind of ignore you until you can somehow get their attention or they decide they're done with their current task So one of the employees came right over. I needed to know if the two salads had any gluten in them and he did not know since he said he doesn't typically work at the counter but he offered to go and find out, which he quickly did and was able to actually print out the ingredients so I could also see for myself and not have any doubts. He was so extremely and genuinely friendly, and happy to help. Such a nice change from most customer service these days. I complimented him on his service and told him I recommend he actually work at the counter because he was so good with customers. The other nice thing was that he was quick and everything that he did rather than just taking his time like many deli people do. Which I appreciated since I was so so so hungry I wish I would have gotten his name so he could get credit for his customer service and attitude and efficiency and effectiveness. He was very tall, white, thin...oh and he had a tattoo under his left eye of two arrows. That should help someone know who he is and hopefully give him kudos. So I was able to quickly use the self check out and be on my way. The deli area was also very clean and organized. So I would absolutely return just for the deli itself

A very rude cashier & a bag girl! I already had a bad…read moreexperience before so I rarely go to this QFC, but I was in a hurry before hosting a lunch gathering so I made a quick stop to get a few things. It was a mistake; this particular cashier was not helpful when I asked a question regarding the sale item, and when she was done inputting items, she turned to face a bag girl (who bagged without asking me if I had a bag & argued with me) to make an unpleasant facial expression! It's puzzling what I did to deserve that kind of attitude. If she can't deal with ordinary people, this is not a place for her to work because she is ruining a lot of people's day!!! This experience will take a while to erase from my mind!!!

I always get the Iced Honey Vanilla latte, and it's only $5, compared to most cafes which are about $6.50-7. It tastes so good and the staff are very nice and quick. I don't often shop here for groceries, but if I need a nice deli lunch or coffee and I'm in the area, I come here! Also a very convenient Amazon package return station here which I've used before. So that's a nice bonus as well.

It is rich, balanced, and never overly sweet, and it always ends up being the dessert people ask about first when I bring it to events. It feels like something from a specialty bakery without the markup. The coffee selection and prepared coffee are also consistently impressive. Great price for the quality, smooth flavor, and never bitter or burnt tasting. It has become my go to when I need something reliable for hosting or just grabbing something quick that still tastes high end. I also love the convenience of having an amazon partnership here so i can return and pick up packages easily here. The workers here are consistently warm and welcoming which makes me want to come back.

I was unsure of the offerings by the name and that I had not been before and found it to be groceries and household items. The diversity of offered items was depth within a particular item space. Seasonal items were also well presented. Looking for cards, I found some though they were on the pricey side per my experience. Looking to see it they had a small candy item, I found good variety and prices in the chocolate bar options. I chose a dark chocolate Chocolove chilies and cherries item that was less than $3.50. Checking out/payment was straightforward to navigate/use and the workers were quick and friendly.

I've put off reviewing the store for several years because it's my neighborhood Safeway and I want…read moreit to be successful. So this is overdue. First, make sure to be on the lookout for rotten food, especially produce. On a pick up order. I once got a bag of spinach with green liquid in the bottom that was two weeks expired. More recently I accidentally bought a bag of lemons, most of which were so rotten that my finger poked through one when I reached in the bag. I've also seen packaged goods on the shelf well past their expiration dates. You'll want to check your receipt carefully, as well. I've never been one to do that, but have had to learn to with this store. On my most recent trip, I bought 14 items and was overcharged a total of $8.50 on four of them. First they ask if you clipped all the coupons, as though their mistakes must be the customers' fault. Adding insult to injury, you have to return to the store to get back the money they've effectively stolen. Since this happens so often, you have to wonder if they're really mistakes, or just part of the business plan...because they're just not making enough profit on the already obscenely expensive prices? Finally, last Thanksgiving, I visited the meat department to buy turkey parts rather than a whole bird. When I could find none, I asked a very nice meat department employee who said she was told "if we do it for one person then we have to do it for everyone." ??? I called back later and was told it was just a misunderstanding with a new employee. But again, I had to go back to the store a second time, time, frustration, and gas on me. In general, the customer staff are great and I feel sorry for them having to deal with so many screw ups they likely didn't create. However, when I asked how there could be such old spinach on the shelves and how it made its way into in my order, the answer I got was, "Just laziness to be honest," So maybe I'm being generous. Anyway, shop here at your own peril, check the produce and expiration dates carefully, and review your receipt before going home to save yourself a second trip. Even though it's a hassle, I now go to a different store whenever possible

I've gotten them for years when I lived in Everett and in another city where I work. The Bothell Safeway bagels are absolute trash. They are overcooked and not soft. The jalapeño cheddar ones specifically are not good. They always look burnt and not a lot of jalapeños like at other Safeways. I've tried to get other types of bagels there instead and it's the same over cooked bagel. The donuts are also lacking, which I didn't realize could happen-I thought a donut is a donut especially from safeway. Nope. We now get our donuts elsewhere and I get bagels from Haggen in Woodinville or at the Safeway location near my work. Sad because this is what's close to me.
