Big box grocery stores are all the same, but are they? This store is clean and pleasant, but good luck finding everything from your list. I did not consider leaving a review for a grocery store until today. My son and I were in the floral dep't and I mentioned their selection is always limited when a floral employee told me I had to come on certain days for product delivery. I mentioned to her this is a common theme with Safeway when I cannot find products. Looking for Topo Chico? Oops out of stock; looking for Red Bird Chicken? Oops out of stock; looking for candy canes during Christmas? Oops out of stock. The list goes on and on I do love their store cooked lunch meat - better than Kings. I use Safeway as a convenience store and do my weekly shopping at Kings. I would recommend the same. read more

First they tried to push labor costs onto customers with endless self checkouts. Then they lobbied to make money off selling bags instead of continuing to provide them. Then the baskets disappeared because people carried away their bagless groceries in them. Then customers began to steal expensive products because the stores were understaffed because customers were doing the checkout work. Then they erected corrals to restrict access in and out of the store, which obviously didn't fix the theft problem because now 20% of the store is cordoned off where you have to checkout twice or oddly navigate out the cattle corrals around the people waiting to check out. They keep whining that they can't compete with Amazon but when they keep making it harder for grocery stores to be more convenient than someone dropping the goods at your door, I REALLY don't understand their surprised pikachu faces. Shopping is grocery stores like this one is officially unpleasant. read more

This is where I always shop but it's only today where I encountered a rude manager or that lady who stays on that self-check out area. Please be kind to your customer next time! read more

Waited in the self checkout LINE for a long time. There were ZERO checkers working. ZERO. I got no discount for doing my own checking. I don5 know what is wrong with this store! They have security guards, but zero checkers!of course, as usual, there were problems with some of the self checkout LINE out terminals. The poor person who was trying to get people out the door was SWAMPED. read more

The lady that worked the deli on 5/27/25 around 3:00pm was outstanding and needs a raise. This was the first time a Safeway deli worker got my order correct and without an attitude when I asked for thin sliced or a specific cheese. It was a completely normal, polite, and helpful experience. I'm leaving 1 star because usually the deli workers here try to haggle with me based on whatever is convenient for them, or direct me to the pre sliced meats and cheeses that are sliced so thick it's a massive waste of money. I've had such horrible experiences at this deli before (and worse at the 20th street). I wish all deli staff could be like the woman I had today! read more

I came here for gas and it was cheaper than others in the area there was some construction going on which made acess limited read more

Never seen such a bad Safeway continue to get consistently worse. Sells spoiled food as regular practice. Never any registers open. I tell myself "never again" each visit. This location has me leaving Safeway shopping all together. Don't waste a single dollar at this location. read more

Large parking lot (beware of transients approaching you and asking for whatever). Store is clean, well laid out. Staff is helpful and willing to assist. There is a King Soopers across the street should you want to visit the competition! read more

Went in the store today to pick up a few items. The guy running the register his name was Lou. This guy was about as friendly as a rattlesnake. Absolutely no personality would not interact with me at all. I asked him how he was doing if he was having a good day he didn't answer, I asked him if he was in a bad mood today he didn't answer I told him and he didn't respond back Poor attitude has no place in a business where there are customer interaction. read more

I have been going to this store for 21years. I do not understand the poor reviews. The store has been updated several times. It is clean & laid out well. Many of the staff have been here for over a decade which tells me it is a good place to work. It blows away the King Soopers across the street. Only issue is the cart shortage driven by them being stolen. read more

I came here on Christmas eve and was able to find everything I needed. Even though the parking lot was very full, I was able to get in, find my groceries, and check out very quickly. read more

Horrible chicken must be using old grease!!You can look at it and if it's red looking that a sign that's it needs to be change more often.

It's kinda funny to live near a Safeway and King Soopers that are directly across the street from each other. Even though they have the same parent company, the stores carry slightly different brands and are set up opposite. Other than that, they are both a big box grocery store. I usually frequent King Soopers however when they're out of something on my list, I head over to Safeway. If you have a Safeway membership you get extra savings and points towards discounted gas! read more

I've never had any bad experiences at this Safeway before. I must admit whenever i'm in the area it's always a decision to either visit here, or King Soopers across the road. I like visiting here from time to time as it's the same as Vons in California. From comparing items here to King Soopers, I do find that the prices here are sometimes slightly higher than Soopers. Other than that, the staff are friendly in here, especially the ones around the self checkout area. read more

Safeway - Bar of soap - Grocery Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Trash store. Broken glass refrigerator doors taped together with packaging tape (for almost 2 years now). Employees who cannot provide even a modicum of service to customers. App barcodes never work. Sale prices posted are often expired and from the prior month. The produce section permanently smells of rotting food. The meat dept is no better. They have dedicated the past year to stocking the entire store with wine (in literally every aisle) while the rest of the store is abysmal to a fault. The bakery is usually empty of baked goods but always has at least 3 displays of wine. Worst brand selection too. Everything for sale is owned by 4 companies pretty much. A monopoly of hideousness. read more

Out of all the grocery stores around my house (and when I say "around" I'm being liberal with distances because I live in a grocery store wasteland apparently) this Safeway is my favorite so far so I have to be a fan. Now I have a secret about grocery shopping - I like to do it on a weekend night when everyone else is out partying. Try hitting up a grocery store around 9 PM on a Friday - it's like a ghost town. This Safeway is no exception to that rule so I can shop quietly to my heart's content without racing around other shoppers and standing in line for 30 minutes waiting to check out. Best of all because so many people do shop on the weekend days everything is stocked on the weekend nights in preparation (except on Sunday when it's all wiped out.) Well, the secret works for any store, but like I mentioned this is my favorite that's near by and that's for a few reasons. One is that it's definitely the cleanest and most well-maintained. Another is the staff working there is always polite and helpful (then again it's usually just me and an Extreme Coupon-er shopping so they don't really have anything else going one.) And I also like the layout of this store. It makes sense to me which I appreciate. Plus, there is a gas station across the street if you need one. While I usually prefer King Soopers to Safeway if I'm shopping at big grocery, in this area Safeway blows the King Soopers across the street away so I guess I've become a Safeway girl for now. read more

Running out of gas, but the gas station is not open. I know they lost 2 customers this morning and that is just the ones I saw. Really frustrating considering you can use a card to pay at the pump. Why not be open at 6 am? read more

I just called Safeway at Mason street to ask information about a cake that I would like to order for my toddler's birthday. My only question was: "Can I get info about price for a specific cake that I just saw online in your website?" ALISSA, the bakery manager, first answer was: "I can't give you price for a cake that we don't make". What??? You don't make it??? You didn't even ask me anything about the cake... It amazes me how someone with this attitude can be a manager. "Our service will make Safeway your favorite local supermarket!" Safeway, you should review the employees working with you, especially someone like Alissa, A MANAGER! I will never ever go to this store again. read more

To me this is the nicest store in the area of major grocery chains. This site has a butcher, bakery and deli. They always have pre sliced lunch meat and cheeses available by the deli. The rotisserie or fried chicken is always fresh after work for a quick meal. The bakery has a wide selection of cakes, cookies and donuts. The staff is really helpful especially the butcher. I have asked for certain cuts of meat or to have things cut and they are always happy to help. The produce is always on point and fresh. If any problems the management is great. I get flowers all the time from there and they have a variety of arrangements preset. Sometimes the lines at check out can get busy but you normally don't have to wait long. read more

This store is in walking distance so we're always here... but lately I've started going elsewhere because 90% of this store is grumpy or what appears to be a bad mood. They are very unfriendly and unwelcoming and that's a turn off when you go somewhere so often. The butchers are the worst. IF they're even back there, it's like they're pissed you asked them to you know, do their job and wrap up some meat for you. One cashier, a middle aged woman, I refuse to get in line with. The way she talks to people is rude and really concerning as to how/why she works in customer service. "What do you need? Well you're going to have to wait" ummmm ok. Starbucks is hit and miss. The younger gals are pretty nice but the older ones normally aren't. I wouldn't say those ones are mean, they're just not very friendly. read more

It is actually difficult to pay at this location. This place is a haven for thieves. Several times I have seen people walking out with baskets of groceries, hop in their car and drive off. For those of us that prefer to pay, you either wait in a long line or search the store for a cashier. There is a security guard, but they are either playing on their phones or sitting in the Starbucks not paying attention. Frequently the deli is unmanned. I'm not sure if they can't find staff or if the store is poorly scheduled. read more

I really I wish I could give zero stars. Today I witnessed the "security" guard try to intimidate a paying customer. The customer responded with a curse word out loud stating how he hated the F'n grocery store...the security guard responded by moving closer to the CUSTOMER who was there with 2 children and forcing him out of the store...The customer kept trying to tell him to allow him to PAY (NOT STEAL) his 3 items. The man with the none police badge followed the "PAYING CUSTOMER" to his car. I brought this to the attention of the supervisor (lady with the drawn on eyebrows) who stated that people steal and that they do not allow cussing in their store. I have been a customer of this store for 30 years and never witnessed such abuse of power. I returned my grocery's without an apology from the supervisor because my little $50 today means nothing in the larger picture of the stores bottom line. But bad news travels fast and I have told 10 people since this tragic event. Former Very Regular Customer. Jay read more

I really like this store, but.... Without too much medical history here, I have only vomited about 12 times in my whole life (and I'm closer to 40 than 20...much closer) Anyway, I have had food poisoning that I believe was acquired at this Safeway location twice. Once from deli sliced sandwich fixin type chicken, and the other time from the roasted whole chicken. There is a third episode that may have involved Safeway deli olives, but there was such a massive quantity of gin involved in this incident, that it would be irresponsible to lay all that at the feet of the Safeway deli gremlins. Nevertheless, I still shop for everything, with the exception of meat and deli products, at this store. Their staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and its just too close to the ol' homestead to swear off. happy shopping. read more

Yeah, this is my local Safeway! I honestly cannot shop at King Soopers or Albertson's. I guess it's habit from CA...well, that and I get United Mileage Plus miles for shopping there, AND a $0.10/gallon gas discount when I spend $50. I like this one because it's clean, well-organized, and (usually) well-stocked. It's not as clean and purdy as the Cherry Creek Safeway (who of course have to compete with Whole Foods down the street). This Safeway also has a gas station across the street, which is awesome! The staff are always really friendly and nice, and frequently ask if they can help you find something. read more

This should be a 3.5 because I go slightly out of my way to shop here on the way home from work. (I go from 8th to 14th and back south again to get home, not a big deal.) I like this place because the parking lot is not a rat race and it has everything I want and the pharmacy is good and it's got a very comfortable (older white woman talking here, so it's clean and safe ha ha ha) multi-cultural atmosphere which I have missed since they closed the Safeway at Monaco and Alameda. read more

I've now determined that I loathe Safeway in general but sometimes a girl has to run out and buy some last minute item that didn't make it into the cart for dinner (GRRR) This is so close to my house I figured I'd just run over to grab one item I needed. ONE. It took me 20 minutes to get out of the damn store. There were 2 clerks checking people out. This isn't the first time I've experienced lack of staff at this store. It's a Sunday, it's not late (think probably in the five o'clock hour? Maybe 6. People grocery shop. Why aren't you better staffed? My options to check out were either of two lanes which had people in line with numerous items in their cart or self check. I get in line at self check. The lady starts barking at the other people in line with me and at me that we should go to lane 4 or 5 it will be faster and we can get out of the store that much more quickly. Not true. We all trudge over there only to find more people in these lines with carts that are PACKED. Back to self check out we go where this girl proceeds to look at us like we're idiots, tells us again to go back over there and then starts mouthing off to another customer. This store has the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced at a grocery store. It doesn't seem to matter what time of day you go. There are never more than 2 cashiers and there is always a line. Next time I'll drive a little further and go to King Soopers or 7-Eleven. read more

This is like the Saks Fifth Avenue of grocery stores compared to the Family Dollar of grocery stores, the King Soopers directly across the street. I'm guessing on that because I don't actually shop at Saks or Family Dollar, but I imagine that the former is swanky nice and the latter is dingy lame. Recently remodeled, this is the only grocery store I know where they send staff around to ask you, "Are you finding everything alright?" They have a person standing by the registers whose sole purpose is to make sure no more than 2 people are standing in line at any given time. Fantastic deli meats, with customer service to boot. Even when I show up late and they're starting to put everything away, they don't give me an attitude when I want a pound of black forest ham. Watch the expiration dates, though, I keep buying baby carrots and yogurt only to find they're past their prime when I get home. read more

Had to update my review. I've been back a couple times and each time I've grown more and more frustrated with the poor selection and very poor quality of the produce. They don't have anything that even borders on out of the norm (Shitake mushrooms, hello?) and forget about anything like Jicama. Just awful selection. And the last couple times, the tomatoes have been just nasty. I also hate how so many of vegetables are now prepackaged (snap peas, sweet peas, corn) which just adds wasteful packaging and greatly increases the costs, I've always been a big fan of Safeway from when I lived in California. No more, I won't be coming back. King Soopers is simply kicking Safeway's butt on selection, quality, service and price. read more

Three fairly recent experiences: 1.) We bought some fish there from their "fresh" package section. When we opened the package at home, the fish was inordinately mushy. Looking at the date on the label we could see underneath was a previous date showing that it had expired! 2.) One of the managers of the store is a short, Hispanic woman. Our neighbor, a good friend who is also Hispanic, was at the customer service counter listening to the manager defend an employee, the woman who monitors the self service checkout, who had reached into the customer's groecery bag and touched his hardrolls to make sure he wasn't buying bagels instead. The customer was understandably upset. Not only did the manager defend the employee but after the customer left, she made a derogatory comment about "white people," which offended our neighbor. 3.) There is no one ever manning the bakery section. My wife had a question and went behind the counter in back to look for someone. She didn't find anyone but did see a MOUSE scurrying by. Shop there if you want but do so at your own peril but we won't. (And now, neither do our neighbors.) read more

The Safeway pharmacy is chronically understaffed. The poor pharmacists do the best the can, but they need help!

I like this store. I like the pharmacy and the grocery selection for a conventional grocery store. What I didn't like, however, was being checked out by Ravi. He couldn't be bothered to be courteous or say much of anything at all. Not a word when I paid for my groceries. Just handed me my receipt and walked away because another cashier was taking over. read more

Worst experience I've ever witnessed/been a part of in a grocery store was had at this Safeway location on the 29th of August, 2010. This relates to the experience with a Safeway rep who was occupying an express lane on the afternoon of Saturday, August, 28, 2010 I sent a letter of complaint to Safeway through their website. I have yet to receive any word beyond standard immediate response that the matter will be addressed. The representative of Safeway had several faults, and there was an absence of management leadership that would allow such things to be accumulate, to appear endemic. This was not an incident off to the side, this was clearly seen my numerous customers and employees. Again this was the express lane in the middle of the store at a moderately busy time of day. Initially as it started, I thought to myself: No, relax. I do not want to see someone in the present job market lose what they have, but as the insensitivity which could be explained as perhaps ignorance of how to deal with diverse customers if she was new to the position turned into clear disrespect, I began to more clearly note details. Understand, this employee was unrelenting in poor behavior. And this was not just poor professional behavior, this was poor personal behavior. This employee is a bully. What she does off the clock is not in Safeway's control. But she brought it into the store. This representative of Safeway who conducted herself as I will describe below said her name was _____, when I asked at the end of my transaction. If she was wearing a name tag it was not visible. Without some explanation from Safeway how this sort of behavior is permissible in their stores, I will avoid all future associations with Safeway that I'm able to control, even the items that have made me go out of the way on occasion. Getting back to the representative, _____ was at first insensitive, at the customer's difficulty having the card reader read her Safeway card, the customer kindly raised it up and slightly towards ____, indicating a question if ____ could scan it. _____ grabbed it swiftly, almost robotically, absent of any care. She quickly scanned it and slapped in down on the small customer counter with an absent mindedness. Keep it mind she was not inordinately busy, with the customer having one watermelon only to ring through. At this stage _____ appeared like speed was the most important thing. However this was counteracted by almost every subsequent action she took. Demonstrating that she unaware that what she was communicating to the customer was not understood, as she stated instructions about the machine to the customer was having difficulties with. The customer, who very well could have been only a U.S. resident for a few months, though appeared to be adapting well (And I do have experience in these matters), continued through the card reader menu prompts once again, and again selected incorrectly, pressing Gift Card rather than Credit Card, I believe. Instead of seeing this as a teaching moment that could help the customer and other cashiers in the future, whereby demonstrating the proper buttons to push so the customer could be more comfortable with the process the next time, _____ escalated the situation by abruptly moving the machine and leaned in to do the actions herself. This is where I specifically use the word hostility. In my opinion _____ violated the customers personal space. She did not ask to take over the process, (I cannot recall for sure if she grabbed the credit card from the woman and scanned it herself, but I believe this took place). She went about it like not in full control of herself, as she was fed up with dealing with a misbehaving child and thereby believing her actions were excused. Ultimately, the entire interaction took longer than it would have if, in recognizing this was a customer with a particular concern or consideration to address, _____ had volunteered to assist. This would not be the end of the interaction with this customer for _____ either. In collecting her purse and setting about putting her cards in their proper places the woman could not locate her Safeway card. ____ began my transaction even while the African woman expressed the concern about her card. In short, the woman was being further demeaned. (Ultimately, the checker's own actions caused the card to be lost, which the customer finally found minutes later, behind the small customer counter, on the checker's side!) And this is not even the end of the ordeal, but it is near the character limit for Yelp. In short, ____ likely is a bad apple, but I fault the barrel managers who enable such stuff to take place. As that many families arriving in the U.S. from abroad as refugees may have several children, I do truly hope this woman empowers herself to avoid merchants where she is denied human dignity. read more

The best place to shop, great people, go out of their way to help you out or order a missing product. Good bye mega stores!!

We have shopped here for 22 years. It's an okay grocery store. In the past few months, however, we arrived at the front of the store, around 7:30pm and there are NO checkers at any cash registers--they're all closed! So we had to check an entire basket full of groceries at the self check register--slow, very slow. We are disappointed with this policy as we usually shop in the evenings. We may well look elsewhere, even after all these years. Their produce and meat are excellent. The butcher is always willing to prepare special cuts for us. We'll be sad to go elsewhere, but the lack of checkers after 7pm is a real problem for us. read more
