Erica in the baking department is an absolutely brilliant baker and cake designer! This woman did my 57th birthday cake and my wife's 50th like no other before her. The moment I saw my blue rose and blue trim cake I was in tears. I am NOT kidding. The only cake that was better was out wedding cake decades ago. My wife's for her bday yesterday was just so damn beautiful. Thankyou Erica, Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for your amazing work and detail. Btw I was crapping blue doodoo for a week from the blue roses and trim! HAHA! read more

Another store that has all their booze under glass. You cannot get someone to open it. Tried one more time. Pushed the button and waited. About 7 minutes later I go looking for someone. I find a lady walking around and ask her if she can open the glass for me. She says I have to push the button. I tell her I did that and no one ever comes. Ever. She says that is the only way And we're done. Another absolutely poorly run Safeway. Anyone surprised? And now they have this thing where all their booze under exits are blocked off so you can't leave unless you buy something. Is this a joke? Make no mistake. This store will not exist in two years. Between their super expensive prices and poorly run store, these people who literally couldn't care less about the patrons who come here, will all be unemployed. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this Safeway location. The employee named Marie, who was working in the customer service line, demonstrated extremely poor customer service. Her attitude was unprofessional and unwelcoming, not only toward me but also toward other customers who were arriving. Customer service is a key part of any business, and unfortunately, Marie did not meet even basic expectations. Based on this experience, she should not be placed in a role that requires direct interaction with customers unless there is significant improvement. I hope management addresses this issue to ensure a better experience for future customers. read more

This is strictly for the deli. I ordered a roast beef sandwich with avocado. Save yourself the aggravation. The regular size sandwich is super small. They literally put 2 pieces of meat on my sandwich. Instead of using one of the avocados that was sitting there the guy pulled out one of those cups to spread a sliver of avocado on my sandwich. The last time I had a Safeway sandwich was years ago and I recall they use to put half of a real avocado on it and a decent amount of meat. My how things have gotten cheap around here. I asked if that was all the avocado he was using he said another sliver would be another $1. Not to be an A hole but I told him he could keep that sandwich I'm not pay $10.99 for bread and some veggies with 2 pieces of meat. read more

Got this salad during my lunch and was surprised by mold. I do recommend looking at your food before eating it. Things happen, but this said it was best by 7/17 so a little more than two weeks from now, yikes! Staff was nice and accommodating at least, just feeling grossed out. read more

Safeway - Mold on my food - Grocery Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

My husband and I came here to buy lunch to go. Got the two items bento from a Chinese food station and a sandwich combo deal. Both were $9.99, can't beat the price! Very reasonable and was delicious. read more

I came to this location to get a deli sandwich. The gentleman at the counter was lacking extra help with a whole bunch of customers in line. I could tell he was stressed and overworked. Safeway, you should do better and make sure your employees are adequately staffed. I felt really bad for him. The sandwich was good but I can't overlook poor management read more

This is one of th worst Safeways I've ever been to. The customer service is lacking. There is no signage for the pick up and go. Every time I go here there is some problem. read more

I go to this location all the time. The customer service is great! The manger Gabby is AWESOME!!! Always super friendly and always provides excellent customer service. Plus, she is always in good spirits. Which is rare these days! Believe me I know. I do DoorDash and Uber Eats. So, not only as a customer myself but as someone who does deliveries. I deal with a lot of different store locations. This by far is one of the better stores! Even compared to other types of businesses. It's hard to get good customer service these days. It's nice to see it hasn't completely gone away. Plus, this is one of the nicer Safeways in the East Bay. I have been in so many. All over the East Bay, Solano, Sacramento area and the Bay Area. It's nice as the consistency in the customer service that provided. I go to the store at least three or four times a week. I've never had a bad experience. Which says a lot. read more

I love that you're almost open 24/7. And props for always stocking a small country's worth of gluten-free, dairy-free, organic everything. Cons: Now, about your watermelon... Listen, I consider myself a watermelon connoisseur, and whatever alien fruit you are selling under that name is just... no. It's rubbery. It's weird. It feels like it was grown in a lab. Please stop sourcing your melons from Area 51. My taste buds are confused and a little scared! read more

This was my first time visiting this Safeway location, and I have mixed feelings about the experience. First, the parking lot isn't one I personally care for. Once inside, though, things improved. While some merchandise was locked up, the store was well-organized that I didn't mind waiting for an employee to assist me. They came by in a timely manner. We had some time to spare, so we wandered through the aisles. The layout made it easy to browse, and I ended up finding everything I needed to put together a birthday bag for a celebrant. Overall, despite the parking situation, the store's organization and selection made for a pleasant visit. I'd come back if I'm in the area and need to pick up a few things. read more

Certainly! Here's a polished review you can use: I want to give a huge shoutout to Amy in the flower department at my local Safeway 707 Contra Costa Blvd. Pleasant Hill. Amy went above and beyond to create stunning floral arrangements for my mother's and auntie's crypts at a cemetery in Hayward. This is where I always get flowers for any occasion! I recently stopped to get fresh bouquets for the cemetery and take out the old ones from Christmas. While I was there I showed Amy pictures of how beautiful her work looked on the crypts, and to let her know how long the flowers lasted--a total of 11 days! She was so helpful and kind throughout the process. Amy's creativity, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor make her a joy to work with. Her arrangements are absolutely beautiful, and she genuinely cares about her customers. Thank you, Amy, for your exceptional work! read more

Employees need help with customer service especially in the deli department. When I shop at Trader Joe's or whole foods, the staff are friendly and make you feel somewhat welcome and that really goes a long way when you decide where to drop your money for groceries. You are made to feel welcome into their stores. I come to safeway for the buy 2 get 2 off and other great sales because its hard to beat but man, Corporate has to retrain and do a major overhaul on customer service and teaching their staff that even a smile at the customer goes a long way. Good ol' fashion greetings and has to make its way back to both safeways on contra costa boulevard. read more

Love the store in every way, the only smudge on their reputation would be the guy in the deli. I had a rough time getting him to come out for a question. I wanted to know if they had deviled eggs and where they would be. He pointed over to the end of the deli counter (I thought) so I went and saw nothing so I went back and asked again. He pointed again, (which is rude in my book) and said, "over there, right in front of you!!!" 1st off, i'm and older woman and that is NOT how you speak to an older woman, let alone a woman for that matter! He's lucky I took my medication that day, i can assure you!! I hope he is schooled on customer service and/or retrained because he is a huge black mark on that location!! read more

Don't typically write reviews for grocery stores but this Safeway store is extremely racist. I have never been followed in a store before and the security and staff followed me and my 8 year old the whole time. Although this store is clean and well put together. I see from the multitude of comments that state the same thing as myself, that this store needs to do some extensive training on not judging customers by their skin. One security guard came down the aisle and watched me, as I went into self check out the clerk stood right next to me and security followed me outside. I literally went in for protein bagels & Lysol multi purpose cleaner. If I go back i will take down names but this behavior is disgusting. read more

I come here to buy flowers twice a month and the selection never disappoints. I recently purchased an Alocasia plant. It could be a bit pricey. Just don't understand: if a plant is dry and yellow, why Safeway doesn't mark it down. read more

This store is always very clean and the merchandise is well organized and they always have the Fridays unbeatable deals on the meat department. In addition, I am an avid user of the ForU app which gives us a lot of discounts in different items on produce and even some for free. The staff is always very helpful with costumers as well. read more

This Safeway is nicer compared to the other Safeways I have been to. The layout however is confusing: the produce section extends to the middle of the store. Also, they moved the general stuff to the back. I was kinda lost while I was trying to look for something I needed. I have encountered some friendly staff there so I will give it that. It's next to the Sunvalley Shopping Center so if you are in the area and need to get some groceries, this is your best option. read more

The store is fine, but the price gouging has gotten absurd, where the worst bruised non-organic produce costs $4/pound and up and you need a coupon for anything to be affordable. What's more annoying is they've just stopped having any cashiers around unless it's rush hour. It's almost always one line with no bagger, and so you always have to bag things yourself in a rush or annoy the long line of people behind you. read more

Waited for 10 minutes to order something from the deli, the deli worker walked right past me to help someone who had been waiting for one minute. I left without ordering anything from the deli. Did self checkout and tried to leave with my groceries only to find there was an electronic gate to exit self check out. It would have been nice to know I needed to scan my receipt bar code at the electronic gate before I put my receipt in the very bottom of my shopping bag. Otherwise the store was clean and had lots of security staff. Maybe they should use some of their security staff budget to hire more deli workers. read more

The good: The Safeway app is a great way to save money. Make sure you look at the weekly deals and your deals. The best deals will always be in weekly deals. Also take a park at the weekly add because certain sells will be day specific. Usually Friday or Monday. These coupons will only show up on that day. Use the list to remember what you need to buy. The veggies are usually fresh but be careful of the fruit. Don't buy in a bag. It's old and the worst fruit. Items are always kept in the same place, so I can get in and out fast. The bad: I had a 70+ yo cashier who was the only one open and no baggers. It's really hard to make sure I'm not being overcharged (which happens all the time) and bad my own groceries. It's common to have 1 lane open. When meat is on sale, try to avoid going at night. Go when the meat counter is open so they can help you. You will earn rewards on your online purchase. They can expire. They can be worth $7-$10 off or worth free food. Gas rewards also expire. Check your receipt. The prices are often incorrect and you may have to go to customer service before you leave for a refund. I think the deli closes at 7. If you want on sale deli meat, you will have to get it from the deli. Only Boars Head is available sliced and packaged. read more

Worst Safeway I've ever been to in my life. There's only ever 1 checker regardless of the time. I don't understand why there's only ever 1 checker especially when the line is backed up into the produce area.... read more

I came here for a sandwich from the deli and let me tell you, Nina was amazing! She made the best sandwich I've ever gotten from a Safeway deli ever! She had such a great attitude and gave such great customer service! She asked how I wanted things and was just the nicest person ever. The sandwich she made was absolutely delicious! 10 stars!! Nina knocked it out of the park and next time, I'm looking for her to make me another! read more

Store is nice but never coming back to this location. Jumping through hoops to prove i'm not a thief just to take my purchases out of the store is ridiculous. Scan my receipt? make sure my cart doesn't go too far forward or I'll get locked down? I'm not gonna bother with this again. read more

I went to the deli area to get myself a quick breakfast, gathered my items & ask the old short haired lady at the sandwich bar for a spoon but she replied "ask someone else im making a sandwich" rude. how hard is it to get someone a spoon? read more

The dude and I came here on 01/17/21 to pick up a cake for the dudes grandpa who turned 93 years old! I was suggesting to the dude that we pick up the cake from a Mexican bakery as the cakes are less sweet and pretty tasty but the dude didn't listen. Due to the holiday most cakes were picked over already. The dude wanted to get a whipped cream frosting cake as it's lighter and most cakes looked like they were whipped cream but he doesn't listen to me and wanted to ask staff member which they were totally busy so we decided to try a Mexican bakery. But before we left we picked up two more bottles of wine for his grandma who is also her 90s as well. She is a fan of Red wine so when we come down to visit I usually have a glass or two with her. We also picked up a macaroni salad to go along with the meal the dudes dad was making. Overall, we didn't get the cake here but it was my first time shopping at Safeway and it was a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and wearing face masks. We didn't really explore the store as much as I would like but it is like an upscale Vons or Save Mart. As they have a deli and bakery section and probably more unique finds too! Would come back as they had a pretty goof wine selection and low calorie selezers. read more

Short hair old lady that works at the deli sandwich section needs to work in a different section obviously because she so rude, ignore for me for like 10 mins, I said hello nothing, and continue to do what she was doing. It was very rude and this wasn't my first rodeo with that old ass lady I brush it off multiple times but this time was just plain rude!. Work a diff job if you're so miserable there. read more

Hi Safway I was going to do my shopping and I was waiting this no one in the cashier and I didn't not have that much stuff I was waiting like for 20 minutes this girl was so rode and mean I get it you have a bad day you have to respect your customers I'm sorry is not fair to customers I think she named is gabby I wish she be more nice I'm not gonna shop here again read more

I would like to say from last time I'm pleasantly surprised on the changes made in their employees. The two that helped us were very friendly last night and it's just a big change from my last visit where he was trying to practically tackle us for paying at the pharmacy. However we did go up to the front instead of using the pharmacy this time so maybe that's also why and it was night time. I'm still grateful that it changed and it's improving I will definitely be back thanks! I Love to see a business that actually takes your feedback and puts it into good use instead of getting upset about it. Good-job Safeway ! read more

Safeway Pleasant Hill is nice & clean. Today I had a fantastic encounter with Gloria, Cashier, & Kevin, Assistant. Totally blown away by their customer service & professionalism! They were very patient with me as I attempted to download the Safeway app for discounts, etc., which made a huge difference in savings. I was apologetic & embarrassed for taking up their time. Gloria ensured I understood the app & how it worked. So glad both were there to assist me. What a team! They made my day more enjoyable. Thank you! read more

I really recommend Safeway pharmacy, you can get a flu shot or Covid 19 vaccine there with almost no wait time and you also get a 10% off grocery coupon with flu or Covid 19 immunizations, the staff is nice and friendly, especially Nima he does a really job explaining about how to use a medication and the side effects of the medication. read more

The lady in the subway area what a horrible customer service I was ordering. A breakfast burrito, I assume that the service comes with a full egg not half, she stated that it would be an additional 1$ for a full egg, for sauce on the tortilla extra $1 so for basically if I ask for ham she will add half of ham and charge me $1 for the full ham. Plus very negative attitude I just believe should hire people who are looking forward to work and if your with attitude take a break. Or eat something before presenting yourself to a customer. I walked out. Plus a blond hair lady, looking at me if I was going to steel something like there's more people , homeless steeling without doing anything . And this company throws more food than what they actually sell. I believe ownership should consider all of these comments you would think going to your local grocery would be good not seeing people with attitude . read more

Bagger was just very rude to me because I am wearing my Trump shirt. Left my heavy items on the counter for me to load myself. He is the problem in this country disrespectful comments the checker tried to shut him up but he could not stop his mouth read more

Safeway offers a gas discount if you buy groceries from them. So we started to do that and got a break on the cost of gas Then they changed the program; points expiring; the price for gas became wholly unattractive. In fact Safeway price is as much as a $1 per gallon more than Costco. So I quit using them read more

The woman who made my sandwich...sucks! Bought this stupid sandwich for $9 and there's literally no meat in it. Like wtf! I'm on my fucking lunch! I'm hungry, tired and just want to go home But I have to work too. Wish I had time to complain to the manager. This is bullshit! Fucking annoying ass worker didn't even really cared about "the customer" fuck I've worked in customer service the whole time I've been working. I wasn't rude to her or anything. Fucking bullshit and because I didn't have time I couldn't throw talk to a manger. I have to go back to work still fucking hungry. read more

Safeway - Sandwich - Grocery Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

My rating is zero due to poor customer service. I was at the store this afternoon, Safeway located in Pleasant Hill. I had 3 items and was in line in the 15 item or less checkout as other customers waiting as well. The cashier, Kim allowed a customer with around 60 items in the fast lane and us waiting and the line growing. I mentioned that the check out was for 15 items or less, Kim made sure to point out that only 2 regular check stands were open with big lines and her pulling a customer with big order and if I didn't like it to go stand on the other long line. Few customers behind me pointed out to her that she was wrong for telling me that. I hope a conversation with your cashiers will help them to keep the situation under control instead of saying " go stand in another line if you like it. read more
