Bryant at the deli delivered great customer service. He was friendly and efficient. 10/10 service

Very nice store. I shop here every week, and it is always well stocked. Moreover, all the store staff are friendly, helpful and courteous.

A safeway is a safeway is a safeway right? well, still somehow I prefer the one on Covell, except for during lunch time where the one on covell gets overly crowded by the high school students. A lot of times they seem to be out of things, things get messy, and I just feel that this store isn't as reliable for what you need. Also, I've had issues with past due milk. I didn't buy one, but I've seen it right there right on the shelf. How is that even possible? read more

This Safeway store and it's sister store in North Davis always seem to struggle to keep up. They do not staff enough checkers, baggers and end up with HUGE check out lines. They never have more than the express lane and another lane open most of the time. I've noticed some of the long term staff leaving replaced by more energetic new staff who go faster, don't stop to read the cover of the magazine you're buying, and don't ramble on about personal beliefs. To improve they need to keep more registers open and have additional baggers. read more

They wax the entire place all night I know you just got there at 2am for one thing, but you'll need to go elsewhere if it's in aisle 2-the rest of them read more

Great customer service, friendly checkers and staff! Shelves fully stocked and no long lines.

I find it impossible to believe that for more than a decade the Dixon safeway manager/s lack the ability to determine when customers most likely frequent the grocery store. I've been there numerous times just after 5pm only to find the majority of the staff on lunch/dinner break and 2 registers open with 20+ people waiting to check out. Even the self checkout is 5 people deep. Just another reason why out of town markets and Walmart are getting the businesss read more

While using the Safeway Card, the prices are very low. Nice fresh produce, good deals on meats, eggs n milk as low price s can be. Combined with excellent staff and clean store makes an best buy. Yeah I shop there 3-4 times weekly. read more

I love Safeway, I'd only stop going if costco finally does open a supermarket style place or if trader Joe's had more stuff. This is the second time coming here that I've seen a male employee with glasses and a man bun named Michael or something be condescending or rude to another employee who obviously has some degree of social handicap. And honestly he was being just fine to me, this other dude was just being a privileged diva. Way to treat a disadvantaged person trying to achieve some level of normalcy like shit, I hope that makes you feel better about your life. Thank goodness there are two locations in Davis as I prefer not to experience this again. read more

This has to be the worst Safeway I come too never have formula in stock now I have to drive all around town looking for formula then the workers are rude and take their angry out on the customers worst customer service ever whoever is in charge needs some work done train your employees to be customer friendly and be in stock of formula read more

San Francisco and I were like peas and carrots. I love to dress up in costumes and then drink heavily at spur-of-the-moment bar crawls. I enjoy emptying my wallet at restaurants way out of my price range just so that I can then mention them later when my friends ask for restaurant recommendations. The city is an amalgamation of food and drink and weirdness, and it is full of crazy people who enjoy all three, especially at the same time. And I fully embraced being one of those people. And then I moved to Davis and things changed. The man I love was going back to school, and like hell was I going to let him do it alone. But in doing so, I found myself in a new place where my day-to-day has radically changed. This is no better illustrated than the fact that three weeks ago, I found myself running across the intersection of Drew and Cowell with a distraught puppy in my arms. You see, my recently adopted dog had decided to go #2 in the middle of crossing the street and me being a newbie puppy mommy, I figured that instead of her getting possibly hit by a car, I should scoop her up mid-poop. She's still pooping mid-air and I'm stepping in her crap and there are cars honking at me because I'm a bad dog owner who didn't know that dogs shouldn't be interrupted in the middle of doing their business, even if they're doing it in the middle of the street. So what does all this have to do with Safeway? Well, when a girl moves from city to country, she expects certain things to stay the same. And I can vouch for the fact that In-N-Out and Starbucks taste just like they do everywhere else, but this Safeway, which I will continue to patronize due to it being a hop skip and a jump from my apartment, is pretty terrible despite its city counterparts having everything a girl could want. There is no butcher. There is no pharmacy. There are rarely more than four selections of fresh (no wait, previously frozen) fish. Their produce section is frequently understocked, and their organic dried goods are confined to a tiny section that is 1/3 of one side of an aisle. They never seem to have enough staffers at checkout, which results in massive lines because only two lanes are open at 5 pm on a weekday. There are some perks - location, Wells Fargo branch inside, open 24 hours, nice albeit somewhat inept employees - but for the most part, after a visit, I am left wanting for the filled-to-the-brim-with-everything markets of San Francisco. I have accepted that my wild city days are done, and Davis has definitely grown on me, but this sad little Safeway serves as a frequent reminder of even the little things that I left behind. read more

Safeway has been revolutionalized for me by this location. It was just a walk away for me throughout my last 3 years at college. 5 stars for, cleansiness, excellent presentation, excellent customer service (everywhere you walk, they'll ask you how are you doing with a smile, like they really care, because they do). Fresh food and good prices! If you're a UC DAVIS student do go to their clearance meat section. My buds and I always get cheap meat here, because they are overstocked. One year, my boy Cyrus and I bought drumsticks for 40 cents a pack ( a pack of 6). They have good buy one get one free deals, coupons. Their sandwiches are also excellent, better than many other restaurants. MM yeah, sick of that nasty water? Go get a water dispenser and come with your housemates (a la Kenji, Greg, Cyrus) to pick up water. It's 50 cents for 5 gallons I believe! Look for the 88cent Gatorade and Arizona Green Tea when you walk in, 3rd aisle to your right! This place will save you money, make you happy, and help you with your cooking. Good ingredients = good food! So next time you have to host a get together, party, or barbeque, make your way here. Be sure to look at their ads before you venture in! read more

Convenient! I come here several times a week for groceries, coffee, to rent movies, or to deposit cheques! The fact that they're open 24 hours also means I somehow end up wandering/walking here at night with friends and forget what we needed.... But we buy a bunch of stuff anyways! The average prices here aren't the best, but with their iPhone app and their weekly ads, you can get pretty good deals! read more

Very nice and helpful employees. I usually can always find what I am looking for. 3 stars because the checkstands can be crazy busy sometimes and they don't think its necessary to open up another one when there are only three open. Go for the weekly sales! Always a good deal and they are always willing to write you a raincheck if they run out of that item. read more

The Safeways in Davis are by far the worst I've ever been to. They know Davis is a college town. They've been open long enough to know when the store will be busy, but do they adjust their operations to accommodate these trends? Of course not! Why would they? That would be too smart and helpful. That's why it makes much more sense to have one or two checkers at most, while the lines snake through the aisles of the store during peak hours. The bulk of the checkers at this store are terribly rude. They never greet you. Hi, how are you doing, did you find everything okay, thank you, have a nice day - NOTHING. What's more important? Yucking it up with the other employees, most definitely! Because if they don't acknowledge the long lines and angry glares, that stuff doesn't exist! They could care less if you forget to use your Club Card, they make unprofessional (colloquial) announcements over the PA system, and take their sweet time scanning items, as if that's going to make their shifts end sooner. I worked at a Safeway once and this kind of bullshit never would have been tolerated. Their redeeming qualities are location, prices, being open for 24 hours, and always being stocked, particularly the produce section (compared to the Safeway at Marketplace). read more

How could I have survived 4 years in Davis without this Safeway!? Now that I'm back home, I'm utterly disappointed that I no longer have this 24-hour Safeway at my reach. This is the go-to grocery store for most college students searching for quality reassuring and affordable prices! They'll have most things you are looking for, and recently the Asian foods aisle has expanded! I prefer this Safeway over the one in North Davis. It has a wider selection and is maintained better too! Be sure to sign up for a Safeway club card, it will definitely save you some $$$! read more

Are we all going to the same Safeway or is there some invisible grocery store with the same name that's at the same location? Let me save you some time from having to read through my entire review to get the conclusion: this place freaking sucks. If they didn't sell essentials for surviving I'd give this place one star. I'm tempted to Yelp the other Safeway in Davis after this but I could literally copy and paste this review and it would all apply. I'm not a fan of redundancy so make note, this review is for both Safeways in Davis since they operate the same way; I chose to Yelp this one because I came here more as it was closer. Let me preface this review by saying I'm from SoCal, and down there we have Ralph's and Albertsons (well, those are the main grocery chains). Never before have I walked into an abomination of a grocery mart like the Safeways in Davis. And I guess most of you giving this place 4 or 5 stars have never experienced a decent grocery store or feel standing in line forever on a weeknight is acceptable. The grass is way greener on the other side (and I know Safeway corporate won't read this anyways so here's my quick tip on what the "other side" is -- Nugget). Stock levels: The people that work the back room must be sleeping when they're scanning the store for shelf refills because so many times I've looked around for something only to discover you're all out. Cranberry juice, canned veggies, drinks...no item is safe from being out of stock in Safeway. This place has years and years of historical trends on what students buy a lot of each season and yet...the staff here is so incompetent they still overstock on stuff no one buys and understock on essentials (eg. ramen noodles and frozen burritos). Produce: Absolutely abysmal (so much that I had to use alliteration). In a city that has the number one rated farmer's market in the nation how can Davis Safeways carry the crappiest of crappy produce? I can't specify one particular fruit or vegetable because all of it is mediocre. Lots of bad apples mixed in the bushel, sores and bruises all over produce, dirty ass celery...and how the eff do you run out of bananas? RARFLGLRKRKRKARKARKF Before I move on to the worst part, I should note that one time my roommate and I bought an out of date can of corn. How the fudge do you misstock canned corn? That shat lasts for like 5 years from the canning date. Who knows what other outdated crap they throw on the shelves -- anytime we shopped here we checked the expiry dates just to make sure, which is obviously dumb and ridiculous. Wait times: Easily the worst part. I worked in Sacramento and my roommate had late classes so by the time we were ready to shop it's 6 or 7pm, so we were forced to come here at night. Everyone knows here what happens when you come here at night: the employees, the students, everyone. There's at best 2 cashiers, no one free to bag groceries and a swarm of students that need to checkout. What does this equal? A fustercluck of snaking lines clogging up aisles, impatient customers and people having to bag their own freaking groceries. Safeway is so friggin' greedy and worried about their bottom line, they can't schedule two or three more people to divvy up cashiering and bagging so people can get in and get out in a timely manner. If the other stuff I mentioned didn't deter you from coming here, this should do the trick. Hey, at least they take $0.03 off per reusable bag you bring in! read more

Not a safe place to shop. I was in Thanksgiving morning, and half a dozen customers not wearing masks (another dozen or so with noise out of maks) and employees seeing them and not addressing it. read more

It's a Safeway and it does a great job being that. The machines here are sometimes the problem, though. At the self check-out, sometimes your club card won't be read and you'll have to wait quite a bit sometimes for employee help. But either way, it's either a long line for a human cashier, or a slightly less longer line for a quick item buy. read more

Poor training of cashier. spent 20 minutes in line watching 3 separate customers before us have issue after issue getting their groceries scanned. Our turn and we had the same issue. the cashier didn't know what half of our produce was. Charged 23$ for 4 bulk carrots and had to cancel that line item. unbeknownst to us this would cause an additional 5-8 minutes delay as we could not finish our transition due to some error on their side. Waiting on a manager to override...a total of 20 mins in line and there were 5-6 more customers down the isles waiting in line...go to nugget its worth the little extra cost. read more

Why are safeway chicken strips so dang good? I seriously get these things so often that I am almost positive that everyone working at the deli can recognize me. 5 stars for the chicken strips. -4 stars for giving me food poisoning from moldy bread once. +1 star for being 24/7. 5 stars for the chickens strips though. read more

Really appreciate Russell taking a lazy day, being rude, and making me bag all my own groceries. Great customer service. Here's a hint, that was sarcasm. Me: "So, you're making me bag up all of my stuff." Russell: "Yup" If I had wanted to bag the over a hundred dollars worth of groceries I purchased myself, I would have gone through the self check out. Two stars because at the very least their food selection and prices are average. Comparably though the Nugget has much more professional employees. read more

i went in for a foral arrangement and the girl at the counter was extraordinary helpful and talented!!! she helped me pick out the perfect flowers for my sister who passed away this september. she made the process of buying flowers very simple. thank you serina!!!! will ask for her specificaly from now on read more

We are truly blessed to have a 24hr grocery store here in Davis. I have always had an easy time finding what I need here. It's a little deceptive how they post the "Safeway Club" prices as though they are the regular prices. If you shop here pretty much at all I would recommend getting a card. What pushed me over into writing a review was the really nice service I got when I stopped in to pick up NyQuil super late the other night. The guy behind the counter gave me some good advice for how to help bust a cold and told me he hopes I get well soon. It made an impression how nice he was, especially in the dead of night. Thanks, Safeway Guy! read more

Management did Daniel dirty leaving him and the self checkout dude as the only cashiers on a busy friday night, but they both handled it like a champ, and Daniel was super nice and considerate even though he had some really annoying customers. I would have been stressed AF. 5 stars to him! read more

Never buy/ order cakes from this bakery. I've gotten 2, both totally not what I ordered. Never shop here after 8pm if possible. There are only 2 cashiers, and a lot of students from the apts. across the street making beer runs. Expect long delays. Most of the cashiers should be mandated to take a class in how to interact with people. Overall, most of them are rude and descend to scan your groceries. The deli sandwiches are their one redeeming quality. The few nice employees are there in the deli, they can't do enough to help you, and the sandwiches are delicious and cheap. They're the only reason I go in there anymore. I live across the street from the Safeway and drive ACROSS Davis to do my shopping at the Savemart just because I don't need the stress of dealing with the Safeway employees. read more

Came here again and I am going to up my review to 4 stars. I forgot about the lovely Rachel that runs the express checkout every day. Her optimism is epic. Also, Safeway comes in when it's clutch. I needed oatmeal really bad one morning, ran over to Safeway, and a big ass tub was on sale for $2.50. Definitely made my morning. read more

When I first got to Davis I was appalled at how much everything cost. I have come to accept that groceries are just more expensive and have set aside my disgust for Safeway stores (to some degree). Just to get to a reasonable price you have to wait for price drops or go on JustForU for extra savings. At least it's very clean and the staff is very nice and helpful. I like the self check out, something the north Davis Safeway lacks. read more

I felt the need to review a Safeway because the customer service here is pretty superb. Last week they were having a $5 Friday tiramisu sale (usually $25 value!) but of course they ran out when I got there. The cashier quickly offered me a rain check to pick up a tiramisu for $5 for next time. Nice. Many other times, I've had to return items since my 'Just4U' coupons didn't go through, and I'm never given the evil eye or anything. Staff is helpful, friendly all around. One time, the butcher was out rearranging meats and he helped me find something in the canned goods section. The self checkouts are great though! If you haven't learned to use them, then start now; they save you soooo much time. Also, you should definitely sign up for the Safeway Just4U coupons online. Random coupons that save you a dollar here and there makes a world of difference when you're a broke college student. read more

I have to give this place major props. They deal with college students on a daily basis and then with drunk college students half of the time. This place is 24 hours which is the basic definition on convenience. It's always very clean and the staff is extremely nice. I definitely prefer this one over the one in North Davis. read more

You pretty much can find anything to your hearts desire here! They even have small bottles of milk for those that aren't looking to drink milk on the daily and use them for certain recipes like myself! :P Fridays are their $5 sales which are great for the college student life! Majority of my purchases here have been in the ice cream section for my late night cravings and I LOVE the fact that they're open 24/7 for all of your necessary needs at the moment. How often do you have a city with a store thats open 24/7?! Thank you Davis! P.S. I think the asian cashier thats super talkative, personal and funny, only works the evening and night shifts. He's hilarious and so friendly (: read more

What great store to shop in everyone is so helpful . The store is so clean to. I will come back soon. I enjoy come to starbuck!

i have been shopping here since the store was built and was disappointed today. No sanitized carts were available and when I went to get some wipes to clean a cart, the container was empty. Then the checker filled plastic grocery bags with my purchases and didn't put a single one in my cart although he had time to do so. This customer didn't feel well attended to today. read more

i come here every week to do my grocery shopping. Its literally about 25 yards away from me so its extremely convenient. Their produce is always fresh and they offer a wide variety of vegetable/fruit options. The store is really clean compared to other safeways i have been to. Im pretty sure i will be coming back here every week until i graduate from college. They have good deals and they send me their new ads every week. This week im going to buy all the avacados i can since its only 99 cents for 3!! only complaint: tomatoes and onions are extremely expensive :( read more

Safeway is my normal place to get groceries. They have a variety of items that can go from expensive and cheaper than normal. If you do your research, you can actually get really good deals from here. understandable some people don't make a grocery list nowadays and decide while shopping what they would like for the weekend. What I like about this Safeway is that it is open 24 hours, other than big holidays when they have shorten hours. It is awesome to have a safeway that is open 24 hours, there are times when I'm craving stuff at odd hours and I can easily get to safeway and grab something. They are pretty nice and efficient, but if you go in like 1am you are expecting one cashier adn they may not be waiting for you. IF anything you would be waiting for the cashier to return to help ring you up. But I guess its reasonable. read more

Not my favorite grocery store, but definitely convenient because this place is open 24 hours. Service is okay, not good, not great, just okay. When buying their freshly baked Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip cookies, please make sure you buy cookies that were packaged that very day, otherwise you'll end up with stale cookies! Great selection of items. Make sure to sign up for a Club Card and to bring your reusable grocery bags. read more

I used to think that Safeway was super expensive but I realized that with a club card you can end up paying a lot less than retail price. Getting a card is free and you even get points toward gas! read more

See all

The bakery staff made me the most beautiful 50th birthday cake that was also delicious and for such a value! Thanks so much.

Poor customer service; anytime I need to make a return, employees/manager seem bothered; not friendly or nice; no one is ever behind the counter at the meat department or customer service. They do have some great sales, at times. Never never sanitized or cleaned shopping carts during the pandemic. Out of wipes most of the time, read more

5 stars for prices & quality but one star for customer service. I've been double charged at this store...today charged for two jars of applesauce when I only had one...and at the store on Covell I was double charged for a $26 package of steaks. Also at Covell the checker was rude and did not give me my cash back. I went back in and he had it. Be sure to check your receipts before you leave the checkout line read more
