Open 24 hours a day! Compared to the Safeway in out hometown (on the mainland) this Safeway is tiny. However, they have the essentials and the prices were not as high as I thought they would be. The staff were helpful and attentive. I ran in at 4 am to grab some essentials and aside from the employees and a homeless gentlemen, I was alone in the store. read more

Never buy pre-cooked food from Safeway Lahaina. Bought chicken wings at about 6:30pm - the food was not fit for human consumption! What happens is it sits under a warming lamp all day and by the time the evening comes, the food is rock hard and should be thrown out. But they choose to sell it anyway... They should be ashamed to sell food in that condition, it was the worst store bought food ever!! read more

So sad Safeway only invested in remolding their store and not including their staff. The employees interfacing with customers regarding locating an item or taking your deli order have limited English communicating skills and poor vision or maybe I am invisible when I go into Safeway. Oh, they also have house guests, meet mr & Mrs RATS. Now it's my turn for check out and guess what, the checkers think it's ok to talk checker to checker though out my transaction discussing theirs up coming shifts and the issues they have with it. The customer service hasn't changed for the better for the past 8 years. read more

The workers here are the slowest in all of the grocery stores I've been to here in Maui. Getting in like for one sandwich took 40 mins. There were only 2 people in front of me and the worker took 10 minutes to make one sandwich. There's 4 people working at the Deli counter and it still took us almost an hour from the moment we walked in to walking out. If you're in a rush don't come here. read more

Shopping in a supermarket while on vacation seemed to be a faux pas, but as a local who travels often enough, it's quite necessary to do these shopping trips to stay on point with the budget! That's the case in point when I stopped at the Safeway here adjacent to the Lahaina Cannery Mall in West Maui after knocking off another one on a recent hot Sunday in January 2016. I remember shopping here before this last visit, so I'll file a review here. On this visit, I was looking for ice cream as a required reward for a nice treat after what I had done in the morning. Ice cream and good quality wine, which was a perfect combination to a nice Sunday: marathon + ice cream + wine. Ain't nothing better than that! Besides, ice cream is very much more of value when you buy in larger containers versus a single or double scoop at a ice cream parlor for the same price range. Safeway is your national supermarket chain, which has a bunch of locations in Hawaii. A few on Maui alone. The prices are fair here and you may find a bargain or two, if you hunt good enough! The experience here is good, as always. Safeway has always prided itself on giving the customers a good deal on anything and everything they sell. Good quality products at an affordable and competitive pricing helps make Safeway a reliable brand for any local and visitor alike. It's a trusted brand that everyone loves and it basically has everything a supermarket has - and more. Like a Walmart, but with better variety, but not like expensive Whole Foods. Somewhere in the middle to cater to working families to the communities it serves. They accept the major credit cards, as always, as well as cash. They have a rewards program too, but I rarely shop at Safeway anyway. The supermarket itself is meticulously organized and very clean. This Safeway is in a good location for locals who live in the Lahaina area and for visitors who don't want to drive to and from Wailuku or Kahului area for things they need but don't want to spend the time driving. The service at check out was as typical as you can make it out to be. They say hi and ask you how you are doing, which is nice. While it is a good reason to fine here to stock up on liquor and other groceries, there are many other foods and culinary options within the store to be your own celebrity chef for a meal or two. Parking here is limited due to it being the Lahaina Cannery Mall and all its stores, but the lot is big enough to accommodate everyone, but just make sure that you come during non peak times to ensure a space. The last few times I came here to shop, I had to come after 7:30pm on a Sunday night and this place was already quite full up. Enjoy the supermarket here in the heart of Lahaina, or else you'll have to find it elsewhere in Kihei or Kahului / Wailuku. Support local! B read more

The prices here are terrible! I have no idea why so many resorts and websites say to stock up on groceries at Safeway. Just a couple miles north is Star market and you can get everything you need for 1/3 the price. For example: steak was $15.99 lb at Safeway. At Star Market it was $4.99 lb. BIG difference. Ice was $5 at Safeway and only $1.99 at Star. Nuf said! read more

Good selection of food and a great alternative to eating out which can get very, very expensive. Although, this place isn't cheap. Get a Safeway card for the deals. Two seasoned rib eyes for grilling will cost you around $45. I'll upload some receipts so you can see the pricing. read more

My goodness gracious....supermarkets here in Hawai'i are so hard to come by. On my way to the resort, and stopped by to grab some munchies. Can be cleaner, but who cares. I came to get what I needed and took off. Happy shopping! read more

Your average Safeway setting. Prices are super high! So beware of that. Other than that, they have a pretty good selection of stuff. We bought tabouli hummus and chips, they were tasty! read more

Not only is Safeway the highest 'market' on the island for just about anything, they have TERRIBLE customer service. We would come here to grab beer or tidbits that we needed, since it was close to where we were staying when we first moved. For the 4th of July weekend they had an add out, where they priced out a 24 pack of Corona's for $13.99. Our jaws dropped, figured it might be a misprint, but went after work anyway check it out. My boyfriend grabbed a 24 pack, brought it up to a manager, showed the add, and the manager REFUSED to give it to us at the advertised price. We mentioned that if it was a typo, why wasn't there a sign on the sliding door, like most retailers do?? The guy told us to 'stop being smart' and then proceeded to say... 'do you know how expensive it is to live in Hawaii?? We can't GIVE away our products.' Ughhh jackass. Of course I know how expensive it is... I am LIVING HERE!! After that terrible terrible customer DIS-service stunt, we will forever shop elsewhere. read more

Great market in the perfect place. Well stocked. Friendly staff. Always our go-to stop while in town.

Besides shopping at a typical Safeway. Walk over to the fish market for the AHI!!!! The Spicy Ahi was fabulous, the avocado ahi was delicious, and the fresh ahi was yummy. You can't go wrong if you want good ahi for a decent price. A special date, grab some ice from the machine and bring your fresh ahi to the beach and munch away. Staff is super friendly and if you aren't sure of what suits your taste buds, ask for a sample. You won't go wrong with Safeway AHI!!!!! read more

Updated, modern supermarket that has just about everything you could want, hot and cold deli with Friday $5 specials, assortment of dips and chips, wide assortment of wines and other assortment of alcoholic drinks and mixes, in addition to produce, dairy, etc., everything you might need while enjoying a wonderful staycation in Lahaina. Woo hoo! read more

This store was COMPLETELY remodeled in November 2018. As good as any high end Safeway you find on the mainland. Seafood, wine, produce, bakery, they have it all at pretty good prices. We used to make 2-3 stops to get groceries each year but now we can do it all at one place. read more

Located in the Cannery in Lahaina, this Safeway is best visited on the weekdays. Clearly the tourists, like me, are stocking up their time-share fridges for the week on Sat-Sun. The prices are high, just like anywhere on the island. Relative to eating out, you still can get better deals on drinks and food. The meat here wasn't appealing at all. Must be an island thing? Pass on the turf and grab some surf. The poke tuna here is fresh! Overall it is convenient to Ka'anapali resorts, and a necessary stop for the room goods. read more

Good stuff here. Stocked up our hotel room with an array of fruit, drinks, and poke! Poke is very fresh here, but I sort of prefer costco. It's a bit cheaper and they have more kinds of poke. food is definitely pricy, but this is coming from a san francisco native. The islands will always be slight more expensive.. Service though always friendly. Got free samples of poke. Parking here is ridiculous. We circled around multiple times before blocking traffic to attain the stupid spots. Sigh.. Update: heard poke prices rose up and it shouldnt have been that pricy :(....so sad..must be a shortage. read more

Well-stocked, clean, and has friendly staff. We always stop by here on our vacations in Maui for the convenience and accessibility. They also have plenty of souvenir type items to purchase for friends back home! read more

STAY AWAY!! $7 For a box of Cheerios..... Safeway has a sign right on the street so everyone sees that on the way to their hotel/resorts. In the same shopping plaza is a Longs Drugstore(recently bought out by CVS)... It is on the side of the plaza but everything is priced normally!! Mauna Loa chocolate was only $2.99 a box!!! STAY AWAY!!! THATS ALL I WILL SAY read more

Safeway should be your second stop after Costco if you run low on produce,or want some canned goods, cookies, chips or drinks for 1-2 people. Staff is friendly, they carry the standard Safeway items as the bay area in California. You can pickup free tourist maps, 101 things to do in Maui at the font door. Nice large parking lot, good size. No bags here, so bring your recyclables. 4 stars read more

It was nice to have the familiarity of a Safeway store. Prices were ok. My biggest issues is how many items were out of stock even as I'd go down aisles that had just been stocked. The milk selection was a mess as prices were high and they had a lot of expired milk for sale. I thought the Maui Farmers Market store and Times Supermarket were both better. As an example, Farmers Market had half gallons of organic milk for as low as $6.70. Not cheap but better than Safeway. read more

Remodeled and very nice looking. Good selection of snacks and other things. I got a poke bowl and it was yummy. The sandwiches don't look very fresh though and the people that make the sushi aren't very friendly. Overall, it's pretty nice, just the service isn't great read more

This store is the worse Safeway ever I stopped patronizing this store because service is terrible not the cashiers The lack of them its 8:57 pm and I have been in line for 15 min I have counted 57 people by the 2 checkouts open oh the just opened one more .... whatever the always have been this bad and now the double their size and omg what a joke this place is read more

We stopped by the store to get steak for a weekend cookout and saw that they have this NY steak on special. When we checked out, Cheryl, the store's assistant manager, was at the register. We told her about the special pricing on the steak and she told us to download this app. We told her that the last time we were there the cashier was nice enough to do it for us on her phone. She rudely replied, " we can't be doing this for you every time ". So we grabbed a paper ad instead which she scanned. What a terrible customer service for a manager. What a bad experience. We should have gone somewhere else instead. Next time we would know better.. read more

We did a "major shop" on our one visit to the store in Lahaina, purchasing items for breakfast, light lunches, and supper. We were staying at the Hyatt Residence Club; and, each unit has a full kitchen. The best of the bunch, we bought pork and chicken skewers at $1 each; and, made two meals out of that! We picked up some wine; and, sundries as well. At checkout, the cashier offered us a member card, for nearly 10% off the total. What a great place. Toward the end of our visit, it did get crowded but, we made it through checkout without too much of a wait, everyone was very friendly. read more

The fruit bowl we bought had mostly rotten fruit. The sushi was surprisingly decent. The poke bowl was also decent but Foodland (across the street) poke is better but Safeway has veggies to add to it. 4 stars for the sushi, 3.5 for the poke, 0 stars for the fruit bowl. read more

I've written it once in my review for their competitor, Star Market, but I'm going to write a shorter version again here- Compare sale prices BETWEEN both stores if you want to save money. Sale prices at both Star and Safeway are as good or better than mainland prices. You CAN save while in Hawaii, but be prepared to cook a little differently than you would at home. Be flexible and try new things! Safeway had a good selection of things you'd need to make you're old standard dishes with a little additional island flair. The place was clean, the checkout lines moved fast and they had some good sales over the time I was there :) read more

Overall, a convenient place to stock up on essentials if you are in a condo with a kitchen. Inventory on some items are not restocked frequently. For example, I got the last pack of Columbus turkey meat in the deli case. Three days later they were still out of stock. Wine selection is decent if you are looking to an alternative to the typical tropical drinks. Overall, I'd rate this store a 3, but the real gem is the fresh Poke, served three or four ways at the fish counter. It was good enough that I came back three nights in a row for their Avocado Poke. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and let me sample the poke before making a purchase. He was telling me that he makes at least three batches a day, so you know their stuff is fresh. The Poke alone deserves 5 stars . read more

Remodeled recently and very nice! Staff is very helpful. Have been spending time in Maui for the past 20 years and am so happy that the store has expanded. I found everything that I needed and more! read more

It's a good grocery store, lots of option but not the cleanest...went to grab some bread and found about 15 roaches on that shelve. They need so do something about that. Will not be buying there for a while...just too gross. read more

Safeway - Shelve - Grocery Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

See all

This is where the locals shop. Yes, it'll be more expensive than back home but that's true of anything here! It'll def be cheaper than the markets by the hotels and condos - worth the short drive here. read more

This is by far the most expensive Safeway I've ever seen they make so much money but they're always under staff. Try battling the lines even all the cashiers for at least they should have a bag boy per cashier just to get the lines moving faster but tfhey don't. I only recommend going to this place later tonight after hours when there's no light but still the prices is way too high five dollars for a tomato oh my God!! They recently opened a Island grocery outlet Go there it's a lot cheaper and there's no lines yay!!! read more

For those that are staying in a condo, great place to stop and stock up. I know many people go to the Costco by the airport as well, however when you arrive at 10am and check in isn't until 4pm, you do not want your food to spoil. For those staying on the west side of the island Safeway will do in a pinch. Just like with a lot of things on the island, groceries can be a little bit more expensive, not the fault of the store. This store is always busy, so be prepared for long lines and crazy isles. read more

The only reason I am reviewing a safeway is because the have Fresh Poke. Its right there in the seafood counter and they will give you a sample of each one they have (its delicious if you have never had it). I had never had poke and read an article that said that safeway and foodland have the best poke. I have yet to try foodlands, but safeways is great! other than that, its a safeway. read more

The poke champ has fallen on bad times. The general overfishing of tuna on a global scale has now pushed the price into the $15 a pound range, and they are using frozen versus fresh fish. Very sad to see the decline. read more

We came here often during our week trip in Maui. Mostly because they're 24 hours and we needed snacks. However, BEWARE!!! Things are more than expensive they out downright outrageous! I guess we are blessed in Cali with plentiful and cheap fruit. An apple was like $1 and a bunch of grapes were like $5-6 dollars. Ridiculous!! We mostly bought yogurts, bottle water, crackers and sodas here. I guess everything's a bit inflated on the island. read more

An overwhelming prevalence of junk food and non-local produce resulted in the low score. Its so sad to find mangoes that were imported from Mexico and South America! Also, if you are looking for food without high concentrations of high fructose corn syrup, hyrdrogenated corn oil and the like, there is not much selection at this Safeway. I suppose most Safeways everywhere are similar, but I have seen a few standouts that, gasp, have a health food aisle! It is more expensive, but we found the Napili Food Market to have much better stuff! read more

Safeway in Lahaina is pricey, only because everything in Hawaii is pricey! This Safeway was just featured on CNN in July 2008 because the price of the typical brand-name peanut butter was inching towards $8/jar. The key here is to buy on sale, get a Safeway card, and buy local. Coming from the mainland, you might get some sticker shock, but if you are staying in a hotel or condo with a refrigerator it's a great deal. Stock up on some items to make fresh deli sandwiches, fruit salads, and some fresh veggies & dip. Get some Hawaiian spring water at Safeway because the hotel is probably charging twice as much. I stop here everytime I am in Maui to get these items and more to save money on meals while I am sitting on the beach at my nice hotel. It saves us money overall and I do enjoy the experience of shopping with the local Hawaiian people. It connects me to the community - everyone has been friendly here and the quality is good. I can't stress enough that you need to check out the local Hawaiian fare here at Safeway, like the Poke. read more

Okay - to be honest, I didn't buy much other than Poki here. They didn't have much in the way of Kona coffee either. My partner and I bought poki here EVERY night of our stay in Lahaina town, HI... To the point that my parents said, don't buy any more, we won't eat it... Little did they know, that was part of the point - more for us! LOVE ME SOME POKI and this grocery had lots to choose from (my favorite was the baby octopus poki)! read more

This market worked out great while we were on vacation. You can buy as much as you can from local farmers markets but eventually you'll have to buy other items. Thankfully this market is open 24/7. Sticker shock is to be expected because you're on an island in the Pacific. After you come to, you can mull through the aisles finding many of the things you find at your market at home. Staff was very friendly and helpful in ponying me in the right direction. Will be back again. read more

I hang out there almost daily with my high school classmates. Very nice store. Our only complaint is that the kitchen staff has very little people skills. So many times we've stood in line to order food and people in back of the counter don't even look at you. I've given up trying to order a breakfast sandwich. We get better service from the Starbucks staff. Other then that it's a beautiful Store. read more
