Safeway in Manoa is open 24 hours. It has been an anchor tenant of Manoa Marketplace for decades. My father was the Assistant General Manager back in the day. Generally, well-stocked, the store is always clean and organized. Customer service is good. I come here sporadically. I got a Boar's Head roast beef sandwich. It was okay....hoagie roll was dry. Was I in danger of choking, nope, but it did cross my mind. I will often find an in-store special on a product and be pleasantly surprised at the bargain. They have Manager's specials in the Meat department. Like most Safeways they have a deli counter...where they make food-to-order, to complement their ready-to-go meals. Bakery is decent and you can find discounts as well. Self-checkout is avaialble; there are six kiosks for customers to purchase their own items without a cashier. read more

Support local... Safeway is owned by Albertsons if you've ever been on the mainland you'll immediately see the similarities but does stand out locally here for many reasons including merchandise they carry as many are locally made including some services like banks and even DMV kiosk to renew your registration though sadly those items are not found here as this location is a bit dated but still keeps it nice and organized along with some self service check out along with other items found at other locations. They do have points you can earn using their app which can be use to discount your gas as prices soar loyalty can save you in many ways here with e-coupons and $5 Fridays keeps me coming back for those reasons alone and also restroom which saved me more times than I'd like to admit but the staff is very nice and friendly whenever I'm looking for items this Manoa Marketplace location is convenient with lots of free parking as well. Thank you! read more

Shopping in Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii... Since the Kapahulu location of Safeway didn't have any Waiola Coconut Water, we decided to go to the next closest Safeway... in Manoa Valley. I figured that the residents and University of Hawaii students wouldn't buy all of the $4.99 specially priced cartons of this brand, but I was wrong! We scoured the aisles... up and down we searched the clean, well-lit grocery store. We finally asked a worker and he suggested getting raincheck. OK! We stood in line for the cashier. When it was finally our turn, we felt as if we were bothering her and being scolded! Uh... excuse me... we don't know the rules... sorry! She looked sternly at us and stated that raincheck are only on advertised merchandise, but she'll make an exception for us. Wow... thanks... i guess? Rainchecks are only good for 30 days. I went out of my way to this location. It was on the smaller side. I'd rather go to the Beretania store... which is what we did next... read more

I called customer service to check if the store had in stock the Coke Zero Oreo. A friend gave me a bottle of the CZO to try. It reminds me of Diet Coke vanilla. Not bad. So I asked her where she got it and her reply was at Safeway Manoa. The nice customer service personnel checked and informed me that they did have a display of CZO at the store, located near the dairy section. This is a limited edition. The price is 2/$6.00 plus bottle fees and tax. It's been awhile since I visited the Manoa Safeway. It was busy at the time of my visit. Only two cashier lines were open. There was the self check out line as well. Service was quick and friendly. The store was well lit. The aisles were pretty full of items and somewhat narrow to maneuver, especially if a grocery cart is in the aisle. Ambiance: 3/5 stars. Service: 4/5 stars for the great customer service here. read more

I FORGOT how beautiful their floral shop is here! K... so I guess ours ISN'T the best or the best looking... BUT it is for miles from Manoa's locations hehehe. Their store is absolutely FULL, CLEAN & AMBIENCE IS CALM & WELCOMING! SOOTHING Music can be heard throughout the WHOLE STORE. I'd totally recommend people shopping here! Just know... to keep the place clean and the grounds too. Parking lot is SUPER CLEAN AS WELL. No trash or cigarette butts anywhere. There are actual nice looking trash bins located throughout the parking lot. That may seem weird or funny to mention. BUT... because people dump a whole BUNCH of unnecessary trash into shopping center trash bins, it makes them looks ugly, dirty & it also damages it too. So they end up removing the trash bins, which then causes people to toss their trash on the ground. Which they shouldn't! OVERALL ID SAY! 5 's PRICES included! It's good. Just have to upload the app to get the BEST DEALS! It's worth it! PROMISE!!! Thanks for reading... Have a good one read more

I sometimes visit this Safeway because I like that there is a coffee bean next door. I think I associate Starbucks with Safeway because the Kapahulu and Beretania locations have a small Starbucks inside. Foodland usually has coffee bean so this Safeway/coffee bean combo has me pleasantly surprised when I find myself in the area and in need of some grocery shopping and a lychee iced tea. I think in terms of grocery stores, Safeway already ranks lower than Foodland because Foodland is local and Safeway is not. That being said I do like that Safeway has an app and that it's easy to look up the weekly add, clip deals in store and find go-to items like cut watermelon and pineapple. This location though doesn't have a customer service area. Twice I've had to stand around awkwardly by self check out to ask if I could get help about some items. For this reason, I'd prefer going to Kapahulu or beretania instead. They have designated service counters. The cashiers here are decent and nice compared to some other locations I've been to. The store itself has been here forever and looks the same as 30 years ago lol. read more

I recently did a pickup order through the Safeway app for St. Patrick's Day and it went so smoothly thanks to the employees of Safeway! Dee, a very sweet and happy employee called to make sure substitutions were okay for my order since they ran out of a few items. I got all the fixings to make corned beef and cabbage and juicy NY steaks! Ordered the night before and was able to get extra discounts through a special on the app. Extra $30 off my whole order! Wooho saving money. They usually sell out fast at this location especially when there are sales, so come early morning and at the beginning of the sale for best options. It's usually a hit/miss depending on the day and time I come. read more

Safeway - Pick up order to make food for St. Patrick's Day! New York Steaks, Corned Beef, Cabbage, Carrots, Potatoes. - Grocery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This location is tucked away in Manoa Valley in the shopping center. There is lots of parking and the employees here seem generally happy to be there. I needed help with my coupon and the cashier helped me with a smile. As we were leaving he wished us a good day. That's the simple kind gestures that I miss about most stores and I really appreciated the kindness in the morning. The Kalapana poke was amazing. Very reasonably priced (all frozen ahi was $8.99/lb) and it has a nice sweet creamy flavor with the unagi sauce, mayo and krab. read more

This is one of the older Safeways and has been around for as long as I can remember. I prefer the Beretania location as it's more modern and has more variety. I come here when I'm in the area. The workers are nice and I can find what I need majority of the time. Some of the items I picked up on this run are bananas, mandarins, hummus, yogurt and salad. The produce section was looking really fresh. I was in a rush and didn't really check out the other departments. read more

Love going to Safeway in Manoa except yesterday there was a fly flying around and landing on all the donuts in the display case!!! I tried to chase it out as another patron also seen the fly and decided not to purchase any donuts. The display doors have too big of a crack for flies to enter!!! Yech!!! No workers available at the time to let them know!!! read more

Yay! A safeway that's fast, safe, and serves great deli food! You can't go wrong visiting this Safeway. Yes it's not located in a tourist town and it's the middle of a residential area, but I'm reviewing this place because I can't tell you how many times my husband and I stop here for food or groceries just because it's so reliable and it's convenient location. The $5 Fridays, convenient parking, myriad of stores in the area makes this place a great spot to shop. Don't like the pastries here? There's BRUG down the way. Need to go to the bank? Take your pick, there's a handful of local banks that is bound to be one of yours! Don't know what to have for lunch? You got poke, L&L, Italian, ramen, and Safeway, take your pick! Maybe it's because I sometimes work in the area, and I'm mostly only here on the weekdays, but whether I'm here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this place is fast, easy, convenient, and the employees are so helpful. Also, this Safeway is safe compared to the one on Beretania St. A lot less homeless drama and so much cleaner. read more

The deli section is always empty. The deli in general is slow. Today I stood, the only person, waiting for someone to help at the sandwich station, because the deli case was literally 100% empty, for 6 mins at 11am (aka lunch time). Its like this every time I have come here for a whole year, no improvements made. read more

At times I wish they had more inventory of items since often times the one that I want is out of stock especially when it comes to sale items. In most cases I just end up getting a different flavor. read more

Saturday morning Manoa Baseball wouldn't be the same without Shan in the deli section. My favorite sandwich Ham, egg, Swiss on a croissant is served to perfection by Shan!!!!

This location is 24/7 and is pretty big but it Has a weird smell and the washroom is pretty dirty especially the toilet seat.

On Sunday April 6, 2025, at approximately 3:30 pm I took my disabled son into the Safeway Manoa Valley store to purchase groceries. My son's disability is a result of a genetic mutation that occurred at birth totally out of his control. At checkout on older man cashier (2nd cashier in from east side of the store) ridiculed my son for being on SNAP EBT in a very demeaning way with folks in line hearing these mean words. His remarks were very personal and rude as this all started by the cashier when my son showed the cashier his EBT card which is a requirement to get a free bag. My son was deeply bothered by his remarks and has taken it very personal as it has made him feel bad about himself. I diplomatically explained to this old mean opinionated guy that we came into the store to purchase food and not to get his philosophical views on whether or not people in real need should be getting a handout. I told him directly to mind his own dam business. I am so pissed off about this incident that I will no longer shop at Safeway Moana Valley. Also, I may contact my Attorneys to determine if my son has any cause for legal action. read more

Conveniently located in Mānoa marketplace, this Safeway has a lot of memories. It's an older store not as nice as the one on Beretania, but has all the basics including flowers and a bakery. We've gone to this Safeway for years ever since I was a child. It's easy to shop in the store as things are easy to find and staff is friendly. There's lots of free parking in Mānoa marketplace parking lot. read more

I think I have to really say that this Safeway is probably my favorite on the island! I've been shopping here at this location pretty much since I was a young child, when my grandma and mom would drag me along lol. The store isn't as big as the other locations, but they have everything you need and maybe more! I like the selection of things they have in their bakery, & also that they always, always seem to have my favorite ice cream in stock which is the Safeway brand lemon cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake. The other locations I shop at almost never have it and run out so quick! I also like the fact that the parking is always a breeze at this store, not like the other Safeway's where it's so congested and you gotta wait for parking, or keep driving around to get a stall. The staff here is also pretty friendly, but I always go to the self checkout, because lines here are almost non-existent depending on the time you come to this store. read more

Since we were across the street having Off the Hook poke, we decided to hunt down this "seasonal" limited time only flavor of Coke. To our pleasant surprise, we did not have to search long, this location actually had it! I don't know what it is. I can't technically describe it. There's something about that "burn" of an ice cold Coke going down the back of my throat. It's truly mind blowing! so when we heard about the new cinnamon flavor, we had to see what the hype was all about. Yes, cinnamon. Not like Fireball burn LOL it's the carbonation. It was strangely good and NO weird after taste. Thankfully they come as mini cans, only 90 calories so there's zero guilt hahahahaha Thank you Safeway for taking the chance to carry such a unique item. We appreciate the vast variety of other items you sell too :) read more

Safeway - This Seasonal flavor was pretty good - Grocery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We usually head over to Manoa on Sundays to visit the smaller and less crowded Longs/CVS, Safeway, and Farmer's Market. This is our favorite Safeway to shop at in town. It's not as large as the newer locations, but it's typically very clean and well organized. The customer service has always been very helpful and pleasant. And being located in the Manoa Marketplace, there's lots of parking and other shops to go to (including Starbucks across the street). FYI, the clearance items are located in the far back, behind the meat area. Some pretty good deals can be found here. I guess there may be good deals all over the store, but I, quite frankly, don't have the patience to go looking for them. Unless it's for ice cream. At times, Safeway has INCREDIBLE deals on ice cream and I WILL go out of my way to take advantage of these. If you go early, like we do, you can take advantage of the full assortment of pastry specials. You can also avoid the crowd of weekend late risers. read more

Why do they do sneaky things, lots of shrink flation but no crust on the pie? like they packed it this way and charging $12 for it... bake your own you say... they stopped stocking the $7 frozen pumpkin pies to force you to buy this overpriced one from their bakery instead... can't find a better way to make money?

I really like this Safeway -- it's my favorite on the island. It's cleaner, safer, and nicer than the one downtown . And even though the one on kapahulu might be bigger and a little better stocked, this one has a large enough selection, and just feels more relaxed and easy going -- no endless mob of tourists and no frantic turn off Kapahulu. As usual for safeway, a surprisingly small selection of island foods. It seems to carry just the foods you'd see on the mainland, although it does have poke. read more

Not the the most modern, fancy, or largest of Safeway's, but I must admit that I love coming to this particular Safeway in the Manoa Marketplace Shopping center due to the ample parking. Also, when I'm looking for a particular item, or looking for a sale item, most times I usually am able to get it at this location. Tucked away in the beautiful lush Manoa neighborhood, this particular Safeway location is probably not the most convenient for most folks, unless you live or work nearby. I come here sometimes when I crave a sweet treat, or when I'm looking for my Safeway brand (Refreshe) flavored seltzer water. Lines can be long at times, but it all depends when you come here to shop........I tend to come here late at night to avoid the long lines & crowds. If you like the new fancy modern lifestyles kinda store, may I suggest you check out the Kapahulu, or Makiki stores, but if you don't mind an older store which has old skool character............this store may fit the bill for ya! read more

I recently spoke to their bakery manager regarding a cake appearance compared to one I previously purchased. She replied in an aggressive tone and really didn't care attitude. Go to a local bakery that bakes fresh pastries, cakes and proud of their products. Safeway cakes and pastries are shipped frozen from the mainland. A prior visit, I witnessed this manager YELLING at an employee across the room. Terrible. To be subjected to this manager attitude and witness her anger unleashed upon an employee shows me Safeway's low requirements for hiring managers. This is an unhappy liability manager. She needs anger management classes and customer service seminars. Safeway needs a new bakery manager. read more

Excellent customer service, specifically in the self check out area. The man working in that department helped me to get a digital coupon price on an item when my Safeway login did not allow it. Thank you for the friendly service. I will continue to visit this store although it is outside of my immediate area/neighborhood. read more

So one of the things I tried recently was the delivery service for Safeway, and I was pleasantly surprised at the convenience! First of all, you do have to make all the arrangements online at Safeway.com including picking a date and window for delivery service before you can actually shop. More often than not, delivery is not the same day but about a week later. And the windows of time are about two hours ($5.95 delivery charge) or four hours ($3.95 charge). So depending on your willingness to wait, it may be worth it to spend a couple dollars more. So my first order, I was nervous as heck. But Safeway sent an email letting me know when my order was out for delivery. On top of that, they sent a text message that included a link to the driver's status ... kinda like Uber so you can see the vehicle on its way and an estimated time. First delivery was about an hour late but in this situation we are all in, forgiveness is easy. I was just so grateful not to have to walk in a store so I tipped my driver because all delivery people also are doing an essential service! The delivery truck has a chiller and freezer so all items stayed at the right temperature. Cool. Literally. Please keep in mind not all the items you order are in stock so you do have an option during checkout to select a substitute. If the item is unavailable then you will not be charged. Not a surprise that most items were out of stock but you won't know that until the delivery day when the receipt is sent to you via email. Word to the wise ... Just like you do in a store, be sure to check your items in the bag. I ordered arugula and although I saw the item in the bag, after the delivery van left, I took a good look at the container and mostly all of the arugula had gone bad. If the driver is still around you can return the item for full refund. Still, what a terrific service and convenience. Kudos to Safeway which had delivery set up well before the pandemic so they've made the process all the smoother. Check em out! read more

This is just for drive and go and the self checkout area the ppl at drive and go are awesome! They are super on it and will call to ensure certain savings will be made and I get the right things. The girls are super courteous. The men cashier and packager guy still needs to learn to say thank you but I think they work there so long no need already ah. I think only one guy says thanks but whatevs. read more

I am regretfully writing this so that it hopefully doesn't happen to anyone else: about a month ago I was picking up a grocery order here and since it was already paid for and all the lines were closed besides the ones in use I didn't go through any of them. I had already dealt with the store clerks and said my thank you and goodbye and I was in a rush and working so I was ready to get out of there and get the groceries delivered asap. Well, as I was pushing my cart out the exit door my cart suddenly stopped dead in its tracks and I hit my shin so hard on my cart and it hurt so badly!!!!! It was truly surprising and horrible and I had no warning whatsoever! There was a man working outside that saw it and said, "oh yeah the carts stop they didn't tell you?"And I'm like, "wtf sir no!! No one said anything!? Why the heck would the carts stop like that that's dangerous!". And as I turn around the clerk that helped me mumbles something and sort of laughs like oh my bad I didn't tell you. I mean... I grabbed my groceries out of the haulted cart, and the man said "oh you got it?" He was actually trying to help but I was so hurt and felt so disrespected by the other girl doing the pick up orders, I just didn't even know what to do. And also I was in full work mode so I just said "that hurt really bad!! I just hit my leg SO hard!!! Why the heck would you have your carts do that?" And I'm not even kidding I literally hobbled away to my car carrying the heavy groceries myself without that stupid cart!!!! I wish I was kidding. It was freaking messed up!!!!! There needs to be a warning!!!!!! I'm sure they are trying to stop shoplifters maybe? But this isn't the way to do it I promise you!!! Where is the decency here? Anyways... it's a month later like I said and my leg is still bruised in the area it got hit by the stopped cart. There is a weird hard bump on it that I'm afraid might not go away. I don't even go to doctors but I'm randomly considering going to the doctor because I'm really not trying to have a permanent bump on my shin bone because of the careless clerk not telling me how to apparently properly exit the store. Please take this cart stopper off of your door or give people some kind of a warning. If this had happened to someone else they could have gotten hurt even worse than I did. Like they could end up tripping and falling and hitting their face on the cart literally who knows some people are actually walking fast at times like for real!!!! What if this was an elderly person this happened to? I'm not even trying to sound dramatic but I literally feel like I may have fractured my bone I've never had a bump on my shin like this in my life. This experience was so unnecessary, it hurt my leg, it hurt my feelings. It's all around just a messed up thing that didn't have to happen, and I don't want it to happen to anyone else. read more

Okay Safeway, I'm hooked. This Safeway is located in the Manoa Marketplace and the store is clean! Tons of thing to get here, but my favorite is the poke / fish section. I ordered a pound of the Korean raw crab poke ($6.99/lb), and it was delicious. You can tell the raw crab isn't from the islands (It is from China), but it was delicious and did the trick. Prepared in a Korean Ko Chu Jang sauce and it was ooh so ono! I also ordered a half pound of the fresh aku poke ($17.99/lb) with limu and kukui nut. Again, fresh fish, super ono and prepared just right. Loved it! Checking out seemed to be a bit of a challenge, as there are a lot of people in here, with less than adequate staff to help the lines move through. Food Grade: A! Service Grade: B Worth the Money Grade: B+ Overall Impression Grade: B+ read more

I don't generally shop at Safeway in Hawaii, but sometimes I'll stop in this location when going into Manoa Valley (which is near where I reside) and browse some of the various grocery items they have. The Manoa Valley location isn't nearly as big as the stores on Kapahulu Avenue and Beretania Street. The aisles can be tight at times, and their prices are pretty expensive even with their club card offers. So I generally prefer to shop elsewhere for other deals. read more

Beware of the shopping carts that lock abruptly at the exit doors!!!!! Especially the elderly! I am beyond furious. I had finished going through self-checkout and the wheels of the cart locked after exiting the door nearest to the floral department. It happened so abruptly, my shin slammed into the heavy cart and I am in so much pain almost 12 hours later, even radiating down to my foot. After having to lift the entire back half of the cart off the ground to get it out of the way so other customers could get by, an employee came to unlock the wheels--No asking if I was okay or giving any explanation. I was quite flustered, so I returned five minutes later to talk to an employee. He was apologetic and told me that the sensors at self-checkout were not working properly so that is why it locked. After talking to my mom about what happened (she frequents the store more often than I do), she said the same thing happened to her just weeks ago after going through a regular checkout line on the opposite side by the bakery. She also severely hurt her shin! I absolutely am not blaming the employees for what happened, but this seems to be something that happens more frequently than not and it's clear that use of this technology is dangerous--particularly at a location that has a large population of elderly customers who could seriously injure themselves. Had this happened to my grandmother or my daughter, who were with me, I would have raised absolute hell. Although the cart has a sign that says it has a locking mechanism, there is no reason for a normal customer to have any fear of this happening to them if they pay for their groceries in checkout, so the warning is meaningless. Customers are going to expect that if they pay for their groceries, the cart will NOT lock on them. We shouldn't have to brace ourselves in case of a malfunction. Just ridiculous. read more

I live in Manoa so being able to walk to the grocery store is a great convenience. I love the bakery and small fish section here. Plus some mornings you can find soon to expire fish or pastries 50 percent off. So why 3 stars? Customer service here is no bueno (not good). If you come between 4-8 pm expect long lines due to few cashiers. Need help at the customer service desk for flowers, returns, or other...Good Luck! To add icing on the cake (no pun intended) I was erroneously charged $36.99 for a slice of red velvet cake. (Yes. One slice!). I was craving a sweet treat saw $4.99 and grabbed a box from the back of the display. Get home and am about to take a bite and go Whaaaaat the h e double hockey stick is this...36.99?! Grab my receipt. Walk back to Safeway still not having my sugar craving fulfilled, go to Customer Service... as I previously stated good luck with that... Finally find the store manager Curtis who didn't even know what the correct price was. He goes i think $6.99.. Im like $4.99 look see. Then I had to wait for him to call someone by phone so he could be told how to do a cc card refund... I finally got a refund for $31.72. You think I would get some discount , a free cake slice for the inconvenience, heck maybe even a free monopoly game piece for the current contest..Nope! Not even a 50 cent coupon. After spending almost an hour to get a cake slice, I got home and decided it was a sign to not eat cake and focus on my abs. Maybe ill have a bite of cake tomorrow... read more
