Sometimes an update is deserving when something exemplary happens. It actually stems from a disappointing experience with a pop-up vendor that makes auto key copies, sometimes on site or, more often than not, takes orders before making another appointment to make the key(s) when they are at the location again. I placed an order in March and waited until late May to check on my order for a key for my brother's 2011 Toyota Sienna that we intended to sell. Because of the time lapse, we decided to cancel the order and ask for a refund. One of the Costco managers asked me about my situation and called the company in trying to get an immediate approval for my refund but we hit a roadblock as they, being east coast based, asked us to call them back. The manager took my info and told me he'd call me after working on this with them. The next day, he called me and told me the seller insisted that I be present for the call before they'd approve it so I may an appointment to return a week later during my regular Costco shopping day. We met up again and he explained the process before heading to their office and speaking with them on their landline speaker phone. A short time later, we walked to the returns counter and my refund was completed. Big thanks to David for his patience and attention to details in helping me resolve this complicated situation. As with the other veteran staff there, he is friendly and helpful in making my shopping experience seamless. read more

Dear Costco SFO, We've had a love-hate relationship throughout the years and your 10 gallon milk jugs, 10lb cereal boxes, 100 pack bagels, crazy parking, and 45 min lines have driven me to madness at times. However, there are those days that you still make me smile such as your years of affordable Hot Dog + Soda combos which always hits the spot. Please don't ever grow up. Yeah, I guess I'll still keep you on my MySpace friends list. Your's truly, JC Come hungry and Go Big!!! read more

WAY LESSS PACK THAN COLMA! Only problem is ribs aren't set outside past noon as I'm sitting here after 15 mins waiting but they weee nice enough to get it for me. BUTTTTTTT PLOT TWISTT. I waited 30 minutes for a guy to come out with some marinated meat I can see 30 yards away after specifically asking for SPARERIBS. Don't say you have it if you're not 100% sure. Still my go to Costco tho, more pumps at this gas station too. Just one isolated incident that happened to be my worst experience at a Costco. read more

In a city where a decent meal can easily run you $20 or more, the Costco food court is a rare and beautiful thing. I've been coming here for years, back when the menu was basically salted pretzels and a hot dog and that was it. Watching it evolve into what it is today has been its own kind of journey. The hot dog and soda combo for $1.50 is legendary for a reason. It's filling, it's satisfying, and that price hasn't changed in decades. If you're on a budget or just don't feel like spending, this is your move. The pizza by the slice is genuinely good for what it is, easily some of the best in the "quick and cheap" category in SF. Now for my grievances: the combo pizza is gone, and so is the Polish dog, which was honestly one of my favorites. Those were real losses and I'm not over it. If I'm being bad, I'll sneak a Very Berry sundae. Lactose intolerance be damned, sometimes it's worth it. I just try not to make it a habit. This isn't fine dining and it doesn't pretend to be. It's honest, affordable food that delivers every time. For that, four stars all day. read more

I've been to this Costco more times than I'd like to admit, but the deals and return policy are just too good, especially when buying electronics like airpods, TVs, and even a new standing desk. I recently needed a new desk because my last one stopped working after 7 years. So I went with the new Tresenti Aurora desk, which was super easy to build (probably 20ish minutes) and love the look look of it plus the led lights around the desk sets some cool WFH vibes. Along with my desk, I need to grab a new TV. It's crazy how inexpensive large flat screen TVs have gotten over the years. I found a great deal for a 65" samsung for $269. It was all good til I got to my car, and found out it doesn't fit in my Tacoma truck bed lol. Good thing I didn't leave the parking lot because I was able to return it right away and grabbed an LG 55" instead. A little more expensive but it ended up being the right choice. Another cool new find I discovered was actually through my vet. Flea/tick medication (simparco trio) is pricey when purchasing from the vet. My vet let me know that Costco fills pet prescriptions, and I was able to save some money on a 6-month supply once it got filled. If you want to do this, you'll need a printed copy of your pet's prescription, and they'll need to verify this with your vet before processing. I ended up having to come back two days later because my vet took awhile to get back to the pharmacy, so keep that in mind and give yourself some leeway to get your prescription approved. All in all, just another benefit of being a Costco member! Also, the prices online are higher than in-store, so if you find something you want, definitely recommend going in-person versus buying online. One example, golf balls. $32 in-store, $41.99 online. read more

This is my go to Costco. It's practically next door to SFO International Airport. Although I live in the City, it's easier to drive here than the stop & go from my house to the Costco on 10th St. This Costco has become almost as busy as the Costco on El Camino in SSF. The biggest differences to me are the clothing selections and size availability. More of both at SSF location. Today I needed some motion sickness tablets. Generic is just as good as your name brands. It's behind the pharmacy counter even though no prescription required. And you can't beat the price. Less than $4 for 100 tablets. And the food court is the biggest one I've seen. Plenty of seating. Parking has become challenging with overflow across the street next to the gas station. Irregardless of which Costco you go to, you need to scan your Costco membership card or Costco credit card to enter the warehouse. read more

This is the first Kirkland Costco I ever visited, we all would come and grab the sushi platters that came in a circle and always at birthday parties. This Costco is a one stop shop. Food court is detached and a frequent lunch spot. Unlike the city one there is regular sodas not just diet. The staff here has always been helpful and professional. The lines are always smooth and there is a self checkout. Great place to stock up on your favorite items and the prices are more than fair. A bit further from residential but the lines and service make up for it. They even have calzones now ! read more

Haven't had any food illness in a while so was gonna update positive but just noticed they stopped putting packed on date on their prepared food. Not acceptable. I bought if it was packed on day. Now I won't buy again. It was a nice break once or twice a week. Now they are just being deceptive. Not customer friendly just business only. read more

Love Costco! I'm there at least every 2 weeks for the amazing items for a great value.

Food court at Costco is always a good trip, affordable food and delicious too! This location always seemed to be extra busy so beware, the kitchen seems understaffed and the lady at the pizza pick up counter seemed very stressed and rushed. Make sure to have your receipt ready when going towards the counter! read more

Thank you to Megan for helping us find a Nike hoody pull over in brown. Their system said there was 300 units available but there was only about 60 on display, only gray and black. She was able to find a couple boxes and opened them and there was the brown hoodys my wife and I were looking for. Thank you again for making our day read more

This Costco had a huge selection of products. I specifically came to get flowers and picked up a nice bouquet for $17.99. The parking lot was packed at 7:00pm on a Tuesday but it wasn't that crowded inside. The shopping experience was peaceful and spacious. I was really surprised by how well stocked the drinks section was as well as the entire store. read more

Having fun shopping. So many Taste stations, lots of SALES. Fully stocked as always . New: tasted Crispy Coconut Rolls - sweet, crunchy & so full of coconut milk. Made a healthy lunch. Love the Black grapes in the refrigerator produce. Lots of clothes, and food on sales, very well stocked with wine, champagne, hard seltzer! Happy New Year! read more

No pets allowed, even a small puppy in a bag. I've been to at least 4 other Costco's with him. Also this one was so stupid during the pandemic they had a lady screaming through a megaphone INSIDE the wear masks. We all were. It was totally unnecessary and very unnerving. Guess I'll go back to the city and give them my money. read more

I enjoy going to this Costco all the time because they have everything I need each week. They never let me down. The flowers are so fresh and beautiful. The pastries are so delicious. The workers are very friendly and work so hard. I love Costco. Restrooms are nice and tidy. I needed something once and I asked a worker, and they said they did not have it there, but if I go to the other Costco, (El Camino Real) they will have it. It was very nice of them to look it up. The food is great. I love the cold brew slushy. It delicious. I love COSTCO. It is quite a drive but when I want to be alone and hang out by myself, that is the place to be! HA! =) read more

I find this Costco to be very odd! The food court is sort of on the outside of the building and you have to get in line to get your kiosk order. Doesn't that defeat the purpose? The Costco seems well stocked and there were food samples on a Tuesday afternoon, so all good! read more

Gabe and Patrick are always very helpful and go out of their way to help me find something and provide such a great attitude and experience that I only go to this location because of them. Today I asked Gabe where the raisins were and he pointed me to the direction and surprised me when he returned a few moments later with the product I was looking for. He went above and beyond to be courteous. Patrick not only keeps the line moving but is always is a great mood and makes my day of shopping so much better. Thank you to you both! read more

This Costco is right next to SFO airport and has a huge parking lot. Came here to buy individual chip bags for church picnic and found Boulder Canyon avocado oil chips with three flavors and some other items. Costco is best for food and snacks to parties. But to shop here for yourself usually results in buying & eating too much food. Layout is a bit different here with all the food on one side. Pretty expansive indoor seating area for the food court, which is a nice feature here that other Costco's don't usually have. The rotisserie chickens continue to be oddly huge and now they're packaged in plastic bags which may not be ideal for hot food. Self service line moves quickly. Great return policy. read more

Who doesn't like Costco. Hot dog, rotisserie chicken, pantry staples. This location is better than the colma one which is a mess getting in and out of. Foodcourt- Food court tables can be pretty dirty so don't touch it if you can avoid and use plates or your wrappers to protect your food. Soda machines don't always mix the flavor syrup and soda well so try it before you walk away otherwise you'll be stuck with a bad drink Gas- Costco Gas pumps are on the opposite side of the street from the warehouse. spacious. Good prices. Takes credit card only. No cash. Do your thing and get out. Warehouse- self checkout lines available on the rightmost side of the cashiers. No liquor purchases through self checkout, go to a live cashier read more

The Executive hours are great as Costco is much less crowded. However sometimes their staffing at registers also reflects the smaller crowds so it doesn't really reduce your time in the checkout line. The store has great finds all the time and you can best their prices read more

We have been members at Costco since 80's. Ever since, we normally buy meat weekly for a family of 5 plus supplies so we spend a-lot (and when i say alot its alot) of our grocery here. So, for the past 20+ years normally we get plastics to separate our meats. Today, Sunday with a super long line, a cashier named Gordon helped me with his very loud voice holding the green plastic- cant take plastics these! I explained that used it to separate meat - he said " I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT BUT THIS IS FOR CUSTOMER WHILE HOLDING THE BAG AND THE LONG LINE OF PEOPLE LOOKING AT ME"- (in my head, AM I I NOT A CUSTOMER?) since its a Sunday, with a long line and i know everyone just wants to get in and out and plus i don't want to cause any scene- i just say ok with my face super duper embarrassed!!! :( I just don't understand why he would embarrass customers who actually are the reason why they have a job. Does he do this to all woman who are not white/black decent? Other than that, the pharmacy, the food people and the one who helps around the floor are super helpful. read more

Not sure what's going on at this Costco location (So. SF - Airport Blvd) but I just had the most incredibly UNACCEPTABLE encounter with an employee during self-checkout. A male Latino employee who was working the self-check area intervened when I encountered a problem adding an item to my transaction and his demeanor throughout could only be described as brusque, surly, aggressive and dismissively rude. I let him know I found his behavior very rude to which he responded by grinning and rolling his eyes at a fellow self-check employee (who asked for his assistance with my problem).....like it's a big fat joke. Hard to imagine that is the 1st time the rude employee behaved this way; it's likely a serial event. Aggressive & rude treatment of customers is NEVER A JOKE and warehouse management would be well served to nip this kind of unacceptable behavior in the bud before it goes systemic and the word gets out that employees at this warehouse are a bunch of rude and abusive thugs. read more

Costco is amazing, and this location is no exception. Located just off the 101 near SFO Airport. Although I usually go to the SF location, this one is a bit larger with easier parking and more household and gardening items. It also features the Costco Gas Station, which has great prices for gas (relative to the area). read more

Fast and efficient tire service. Got a quote of almost $1,300 from a Toyota dealership to replace 4 sensors. Costco did it for $250.

Be aware of expiration dates when shopping. Today I bought some oat milk and saw two boxes with expiration dates of 2022!! Expired 3 years ago! I brought it to the staff's attention so that it can be removed from the shelf in case somebody buys it. She said most likely someone returned it and they weren't paying attention and somehow ended back on the shelf. I thought returned food items weren't supposed to go back on the shelf cus who knows what's wrong with the item or why they returned it. read more

I'm a Costco fan. I have been to Costco in 3 countries. Most of my friends know that I can walk through my house and point out Costco items. Most Costcos are the same from front to back. The center of the store is usually where the magic happens. Shop the aisle for your treasure hunt items. Shop the center for different items from your regular store. Parking can be tough at this one, but once in you will have fun. read more

Food court under construction and out of service for now! One of the OG Costco's, a coworker mentioned he worked here when it was known as Price Club (before the merger).

Its all about the gas! Once a month fill up depending on how much I use. Stop by and pick up staples that I can never have enough of. Chips, eggs, Nuts, Coffee, Drinks, premade salads and premade meals and meat. Usually $120.....$10/item average. Typical counter-clockwise layout with good parking. This one has decent alcohol selection and wholesale business center down the road is better to avoid the people shopping for clothes and other items that are not needed for an office. Being close to the airport I find this is better and more efficient than the one in nearby Colma. read more

This is only for the gas station section of Costco, I haven't been inside the actual store yet.

There was very little traffic and I loaded up in like 10 minutes. read more

This is our local Costco we've been coming to for 12+ years. We love this location, as it is easy to get to off the freeway, and has everything you need! They have a tire center, gas station, optometrist, hearing aid specialist, pharmacy, and more! We come here for our eye appointments and have had good experiences with the partner they use. As with most Costcos, the gas is the cheapest in town. However, that often times comes with a long line of cars waiting to fill up. They display (pretty accurate) gas prices online, so you can always check before you go. Keep in mind you will likely have to wait a bit, unless you plan the timing just right. They have most everything all Costcos have, but not everything. There have been a couple instances where I saw something online featured at Costco, and they did not carry it/hadn't heard of it. This location generally can get very busy, especially on the weekends. If you go during peak hours, expect to have to cruise the parking lot a bit to find a spot. Important to note that if it's REALLY busy, there is an overflow lot across the way where the gas station is that always has spots available. The staff are generally all really friendly, and with samples making a return more recently, we love coming here! read more
