Good local style supermarket with everything you'd need from a grocery store and more o A pharmacy, which honestly I've never used but my mom loves o A Bank of Hawai'i branch, which I come to often o A deli and hot food counter, which is great for their chicken tenders and salads o Sushi, bakery, and even a Starbucks, which I don't go to cause I'm. It a coffee drinker. It's also located in a strip mall as the anchor store so other businesses are right there as well. While you can't get too excited about a grocery store, they are full service and in a very convenient location in the heart of Kapahulu read more

So, I know this is going to start a fight, but I think this Safeway has some of the best poke in all of Hawaii. I went out of my way to try Poke from various spots across Oahu, Kauai, and Big Island, and asked as many locals as I could about their opinions. There are certainly places with more zing to their poke, but this place easily has the best bang for the buck, not to mention that the poke bar is conveniently located inside a major super market with a gigantic lot, and not a small shop that could have tremendous lines or more easily have supply chain concerns. The rest of the supermarket is a standard market. read more

There are much better grocery stores in Honolulu in my opinion that are much more affordable. The only reason I'd go to Safeway is that it's open 24/7, and even then if I could wait, I would wait to go to a different grocery store. My boyfriend and I bought a week's worth of groceries and it cost us ~$270. I was shocked to see the bill and we have never in our lives spent that much on groceries for a week. I then proceeded to read multiple articles about how Safeway tends to be pricier than other grocery stores that have the same offerings (like Foodland, Don Quijote). It's also just a normal Safeway without many localized offerings specific to Hawaii. There are just cleaner and nicer grocery stores with cheaper prices nearby. read more

Close to the hotel we stayed at. Had everything we need for a week stay. Poke salad was yummy for a cheap price. Lots of alcohol..lol

I used to come to this Safeway in Kapahulu many times. The atmosphere is clean but the bathrooms are unsafe and old. The bathroom stall hinge in the men's room is old. There was no paper towels and the hand dryer was either off or broken. I asked a store worker for paper towels because the men's room was out. A man later got the paper towels and installed it in the men's room. Also the bag hook was missing on the bathroom stall. I had to put my bag on the dirty floor. This inconsistency needs to end. The customer service could also do better. I hope the consistency gets better. read more

Excellent variety and deals, make sure you're a Safeway club card member to enjoy said deals. Awesome dine out or in food selection, the 2 areas to eat are in a clean & cool AC environment. There are bathrooms located to the left of the entrance when you walk in, unfortunately there are no changing tables for babies so I had to go to the car to do a diaper change. There is much more parking upstairs, the downstairs lot gets full frequently. There also always seems to be a line whenever I go no matter how crowded, this store is a town favorite so expect a bit of a wait. read more

Love this Safeway as it seems to be the nicest one I've been to. Prices are unreasonable as you can go to Foodland, Times, etc. and find the items for cheaper. But I love coming here for the cakes! Usually for birthday parties I pick up the cake because this Safeway is near me and the cakes are delicious and you can customize it! read more

I seldom write reviews on here but I needed to in this case. I was paying for my groceries and this older cashier with glasses and curly hair moved behind me and tripped on something but didn't fall and she made this sound I looked over and she's staring at me claiming I KICKED her!! I immediately defended myself naturally and she kept insisting I kicked her!! That is a very serious accusation and it Was not true. I wish I would have gone to the manager but I was so mad and embarrassed that she said that to me that I stormed out of the store! I'm never going back to this location!! read more

Yelp Challenge 365 # 61/365 Its' been over a year since my last review. It's been many visits past to the Kapahulu location since my last review. I am sad to say they have not improved; referring specifically to the Deli Department. My most recent episode had to do with prosciutto. They usually have the slab in their gondola for slicing to specific thicknesses. I have a dinner to prepare, I stopped at 2 other Safeways (Pali and Beretania) who said they don't have it. I asked the Pali Customer Service to call the Kapahulu Store (thinking they had an internal line between stores) who did; she got through in 5 minutes. Much better than my 16 minutes holding... When she finally got off the line; she said"Nope, they don't have what you want." WTH???? I was overwhelmed with irritation that the deli is STILL THE SAME after I wrote to the Oahu GM, who then sent me a gift card (2 times) and apologized; promised to look into it but I guess, its not their priority. By the way, I gave the giftcard to the shelter by my office. They could use it for their incidentals... The kicker this week with Safeway is what the downtown (I am guessing, either Pali or Beretania) management did a few days ago. The wound up arresting a couple, removing their little child; accusing them of shoptlifting..... there is a story behind this such that Safeway is having to reconsider their position? Reconsider? SAFEWAY SHOULD RESHUFFLE THEIR MANAGEMENT DECK! HORRIBLE. I am ashamed to have such low caliber mangement in a succuessful store. I am ashamed to think that someone from Hawaii could be so stupid. I should remove 1 star but then; why should the entire entity be punished for one department and a bunch of useless managers? btw, I ended up at R Fields that day. but learned they have it at Costco. read more

5 stars are for the good deals!! 2 tips for Safeway, Just for you and 5.00 Friday Deals!! Tip # 1: Safeway's Just for U deals, always log on weekly, as there is new offers every week. Sometimes there are free items, safeway just for u deals, & a manufacturer coupon that could be used together. Tip # 2: The midweek ad has 5.00 Friday only Deals, & if they run out, always get a raincheck!! Last week's deal I got: 5.00 each ( 1lb) bag of shrimp and scallops along with my Just For U deal, 10 % percent off seafood. Double scored!! Came out to 4.50 a bag- This past Friday's deal was 8 piece fried chicken for 5.00, this is not KFC or Popeyes chicken, but it is a very good DEAL!! We ate them over the weekend, Fri. Sat. & Sun. all different ways!! ( bought curry sauce, furikake, w/veggies) Last tip: the line & wait for 5.00 chicken may get long at times, but good thing for Starbucks!! put in your order, get a Starbucks, & the wait for chicken, will to be ready!! One last tip before I end my Yelp Review: Always print or save Just for U list, sometimes, the discount don't come off- it really helps to show the cashier, they can take the discount off manually, this has happen to me a few times. Just for U! is so perfect for me & U!! #lovejustforu read more

Bought a head of iceberg lettuce. Looked fine on the outside but cut it open and the entire inside was black and rotting. Was going to take a picture but, honestly, you don't want to see that. Very disappointed, there went my bologna sandwich plans. Did give them one star, however, out of appreciation for their hard-working staff who were wiping down and disinfecting the shopping carts. One thing, though. At one time the large size of this store was a plus, an endless variety of endless items. Now, however, with corona-virus when you want to get in and get out as fast as possible, this large store and even more the one on Beretania are just not good safety-wise. Better the smaller Times markets. read more

This is the closest grocery store that can deliver to us to our hotel room. We ordered online and they delivered. We also went to the actual store. I grew up going to Safeway in Woodburn Oregon so I knew all about it. It was my husbands first time ever going to one. All the fruit we bought was super fresh and taste great! We love that they had buy one get one free for the fruit since our toddler loves eating fruit like crazy! We've had an over all good experience shopping here. read more

Based on my Technical assistance via the Safeway App: I was having many technical issues that really needed to be addressed which is why I took the initiative to use the: "contact Customer Service" which is located On the app. I eventually got a representative named agent Evan. Mr. agent Evan was not understanding of the situation which was the technical aspects of the app. I was very specific and redundant with him but he kept giving me solutions that were to basic in general such as: "Please check to see if the app is updated in the apps store". Which I did tell him I had...prior in the detailed and very lengthy explanation above. (I am a millennial. I comprehend how apps work.)‍ Much to my chagrin, the app was not allowing me to perform basic functions such as change my phone number which is important when you visit the Safeway stores and input your phone number as the stores are somewhat of a club. Anyhow very dissatisfied with Mr. agent Evan sorry, not sorry I will still continue to purchase my Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the flavor Netflix (Which is a peanut butter ice cream with gram cracker and I believe salted pretzels crushed) read more

Safeway - #stocked #ohsoyummy #whoNeedsSex #OrgamsInAPint - Grocery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

In Hawaii, parking is a major challenge at many places. However, this Safeway gets a bonus star not just because it is clean, well organized, and beautiful on the inside and out, but also because of their huge rooftop parking. I can't understand why most people want to wait around for parking on the street level when the rooftop parking is easily accessible and frequently empty. There is a huge oversized elevator that brings you from the rooftop parking deck directly to street level. It would have been great if the elevator take you directly into the store but that's another story. When the Safeway on Beretania is sold out of something, this is my go-to Safeway because they are frequently not as busy and well-stocked with the daily specials. Recently, I've been going to Safeway for their $5 Friday specials. The Safeway on Beretania is typically sold out by mid afternoon so only about 2 miles away, this Safeway has had ample stock and selection. Definitely recommended. read more

I have to say that I was disappointed when FHB moved out and BOH moved in and that the postal lady isn't there anymore - she was replaced by an automated machine. However, Safeway was able to redeem itself with me by having better foods available. Better foods as in more organic produce, nitrate free bacon (when they have it in stock), nitrate free deli meats, kefir yogurt, and a grass fed meat selection! Also more organic chicken. I do think they need to bring in some more local products but for now, I am content with them. Especially with the grass fed meat selection - sirloin is $8.99 and that's their everyday price so that's really good when they have it in stock. So this Safeway is on my list of Paleo-friendly shopping outlets. read more

So if youre visiting Honolulu, and miss a stop at Costco, or if you run out of food about halfway through the week, there is always this local Safeway. However, you should look forward to paying over $2 for each bell pepper, $2.50 for each lemon, over $1/ tomato, and so on. Produce is outrageously priced, (at least compared to Costco prices). But they do have good ahi poke for $20 a pound. And garlic edamame for about $10 a pound. Combined with chips, soups, and a mediocre hot sauce selection, you can survive a week without going out to eat for every meal, if your room had a kitchenette. Clean store, and self checkout was fast too. But you don't get monopoly tickets un that line i guess, which my receipt said i should. (I don't play Safeway monopoly, just find that interesting). read more

Safeway - Grocery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

as most of you know Honolulu supermarkets are priced so much higher than on the mainland, but the Safeway on Kapahulu in Honolulu, if you're smart and you" join their club " with your phone number, and then seek digital coupons they advertise weekly, you can fill up your fridge much more reasonably than most supermarkets. The produce and the fruit appears to always be super fresh here and the employees and associates in the store always go out of their way for me when I need something. read more

My favorite Safeway because I love the bakery and deli sections. I love how all the cakes are on display but I'm afraid to buy them because they don't put those cakes back in the fridge at night and there could be bugs in the store. The deli section is good because they have so many items. The fried chicken from here is also really good. I highly recommend it! One thing that makes this store stand out is they have a nut bar next to the produce. I remember seeing furikake cashews one time. There's a lot to choose from and they let you sample. I don't like their parking. They don't have enough spaces and whenever I go after work it's super packed. read more

DAMN... Grocery store items are expensive on the island. It's because everything is shipped from the mainland. Of course some of their items have a twist of Hawaii. Guava dinner rolls?! Great seafood selection. Ahi Poke section. I am a huge fan of the Ahi Poke in the oyster sauce mix. Beach + ahi poke = must read more

This is the second Safeway location I've been to in Honolulu where the workers are incredibly rude. They just yell at you what they expect you to do. I realize these are unprecedented times and we are all doing things differently to stay safe. However, clear signage and markings would be incredibly helpful. Please, take a trip to whole foods or Times and see how the distancing thing is done properly. You don't need to be barking and yelling at your customers; clear signage and markers do the trick just fine. read more

This Safeway was a lifesaver!!! Man, I wish we had Safeways in my neighborhood. Well, by that I mean, one that I can walk too. Then again, Safeway is Vons/Pavillons for me so there are similarities. With this being our first flight out of town for us with our daughter, we planned as best as possible, but, obviously we couldn't plan for everything. Such as she would be eating like a bulimic in the closet with a box of twinkies. She was going to town on formula and we were running out. I can not believe that none of the million ABC stores in waikiki sold formula! Considering all the resorts around, you would think they would plan ahead for the families. Then again, maybe they planned that the families would plan? Ok, ok, I'm a bad father! So we found this place from our concierge. It was about 1.2 miles from our hotel. It was a little bit of a walk and with the clouds looming, we were a little nervous. But, I didn't want to give my daughter yoohoo. This Safeway is amazingly clean. And it's huge! They must've had like 20 lanes for checkout. The aisles were organized and it really reminded me of my Pavillions. They also have a Starbucks in there. The checker lady was very nice. Must be the clean hawaiian living. The prices were also very reasonable. We ended up picking up a little container of formula, some baby jar food, and some diapers. Oh, and my club card number worked! There was so much stuff around this strip mall too. We're definitely coming back to this place next time we're in town. read more

Today I was very disappointed with Safeways customer service. The cashier by the name of Sylvia had me waiting in line at least 12-15 minutes. Why didn't I go to another register.. because I had faith that it wasn't going to take that long. It was one person in front of me .. I decided to stop by Safeway before work today. I had more than enough time being that I left a hour early and Safeway is less than 15 minutes from my job . I shopped around and got what I wanted. From there I found the shortest lane with one person in front of me. I didn't realize the guy cashier in the next lane was open because his light wasn't on. The customer in front of me was a tourist. He stated a few times that this is his first time back in Hawaii after 4 years and he's staying at the Ala Moana Hotel. Apparently he had an old coupon he was trying to use that was expired in 2020. Instead of Sylvia paying attention to the customer she steady questioned him about his coupon. Where did he get it from, is he still working at the place that the coupon was from . Strange I heard him say he use to work at a school when he lived out here he haven't been to Hawaii in 4 years. I have a lot of patience so I decided to wait longer thinking Sylvia would realize he's a tourist that found an old coupon in his Fanny pack .. instead of saying hold on. Or I'll be right back .. she slowly walked away to customer service and went to ask them about the coupon. 7 minutes has passed by now. I was about to load up and go to another aisle but the lines had gotten long. The cashier slowly walked back . She looked right at me and noticed my frustration and started moving slower. Then she insisted on the guy signing up for Safeway rewards which took even longer. Finally I'm disgusted by then. She starts to load his groceries up in a paper bag. After the guy said he had his own bag. Now she had to take his groceries out and put in the bag he brought with him. By that time 11-12 minutes had passed. She never said sorry for your wait or anything. Her words to me was ..some one else is taking over the register and she walked away. I did have time to inform Sylvia to check Yelp for the review that I'm leaving about her. read more

I just went to Safeway Kapahulu, my favorite market. I NEVER had a rude cashier until this morning. This young girl Kimberly, wasn't at the register. I looked around, then seen a girl walking from down the isle, she saw me but didn't say a word, I watched her go pass me then to the register, she didn't say one word, not even to say I'll be right there or good morning. She just gave attitude, told me the total of my bill real soft and I said what was it?, she said it again softly. Then I paid and she just handed me my receipt. I said thank you, she said nothing. Other than this, all the other employees are super nice and polite. read more

Kyle was working tonight, and somehow managed to make us have an outstanding experience. I never would've thought I'd be leaving a review for a grocery store, seriously.

A special shout out to the Michon Fuchigami, the pharmacist of Safeway Kapahulu. I was a long time CVS customer and I'm used to having my prescriptions delayed, missing or wrong. Recently, there was an island wide shortage for a prescription medication that I needed. CVS was out, as well as many other pharmacies. We called around and Safeway happened to have it!!! Michon guided us in having the prescription transferred over and got the entire process from transfer to filling in record time!!!! We've never encountered such efficiency. She has an outstanding ability to anticipate patient's needs to stock the pharmacy with the required meds. She sincerely cares for the patients, you can hear it in her voice, regardless if it's via phone or in person. She's truly an asset to Safeway. read more

Hands down the best supermarket poke. I will drive extra to buy their salmon and salt and pepper poke! Other Safeways do not have the same seasoning. On a side note, was surprised to get such an unfriendly cashier Kimberly today. After waiting a long time because the party in front of me was trying to get their purchase amount under the gift card amount by removing items already rung up, Kimberly offered no greeting (no "hi" or "thank you for waiting") whatsoever. She gave me the receipt and said HERE YOU GO. Sorry, but I replied YOU'RE WELCOME. Go for the poke and go to self checkout! :) read more

I live around the corner from the Safeway I go there once or twice a month for several years now. On my latest visit to Safeway I was profiled and followed around by security and a worker when I was just trying to buy a bottle of wine. Out of all the homeless people and everyone else in there they find the lone black person to watch. Save your money by dealing with races employees and go to Times or foodland. read more

I always come here before I head into work to grab some donuts. There is usually always only 2 registers open at a time even on busy days so you literally have to stand there for 30 minutes even if you're just buying one thing.

I was standing there for 10-20 minute waiting for someone to help me, when someone finally came, I just got ignored while they talked to each other even when they notice me standing right there waiting to be helped so I just walked out. read more
