This might be my favorite Safeway of all time! I come here often due to family who live nearby. They've got to have the best floral department ladies in all of Safeway history. So much so that I come here to get my bouquets even if it's out of the way! Those ladies are so busy they need a raise. On top of the floral department, they've got fresh delicious baked goods all of the time . Never fails! The bakers are kind and it feels like a real neighborhood store meant for the community. read more

Safeway - Better than some bakeries at a fraction of the cost. - Grocery Near Me - Sacramento, California

The Safeway store is consistent with other stores in its lay out, set of departments and registers. It is tidy and very clean. I bought a vase of flowers for a special person's 80th birthday. Flowers are generally overpriced everywhere. I found a reasonably priced arrangement of flowers in a vase; beautiful and didn't break the bank. Jessica on the flower section helped he by boxing the vase for travel. It was nice to be able to pay in the florist area. She was friendly and helpful, thank you Jessica. read more

TANIA made an exceptionally beautiful arrangement for my MIL today. She helped me pick out various flowers and greens that came together well. She put it all together and when she was done it looked like a luxurious bouquet! Highly recommend her as a talented in-store florist! read more

Cons: - chronically overly delayed pickup orders and incorrect groceries received - cake delivered with toppings slid off - delivery not cancelled via customer service even though they said they did - 20% coupon for groceries from filling five prescriptions does not work on online orders through the Safeway app despite my pharmacy and Safeway account for U being linked on the same phone number read more

This is my local Safeway! It has a large parking lot so that shouldn't be an issue. However be warned that the turns are tight, the parking spaces are small, and there are always a ton of people crossing the streets. This Safeway also has a gas station that happens to have the cheapest gas in North Natomas most of the time. There are many restaurants and other businesses in this shopping center. I love the prices here compared to nearby Raleys or Sprouts but they too have been increasing their prices... There is a Starbucks inside and a small credit union. The lines here are always ridiculously long and seem to only have 1 lane open. The self check out is always long. The floors seem to be dirty almost every time. Also, I don't think I've ever came here where they wasn't someone outside trying to get me to buy or sign something. There are many homeless outside at night too. Bottom line/TLDR: beware of the lines and parking lot fiasco. read more

Safeway - The prepared meats - Grocery Near Me - Sacramento, California

This Safeway is no where close to my home, and it's in a busy shopping plaza on Del Paso Blvd right near the I-5 freeway. I come here for groceries sometimes when we're in the area to meet up with friends, to do some shopping, when we're driving north towards Reno/Tahoe and need to pick up some meals and snacks, or when there's a special even here for us to attend in Natomas. This is a newer Safeway in the Sac area even though it's definitely 10-15+ years old by now I think. It's been kept up and everything looks good and organized here. There's your usual layout w/produce on one side of the store and the deli and bakery on the other, then in the middle you have your pantry items and towards the back is the meat dept and pharmacy. There's cold cases of dairy and yogurt, freezer cases filled w/frozen entrees, ice cream, frozen veggies, etc. All quite convenient and then there's tons of delicious pastries in my favorite section of any grocery store, the bakery. They make pastries here as well as any specialty bakery, so I often get my apple turnovers, bear claws, fritters, and cherry Danishes, etc. here. I probably have no business eating too much pastries anyway, but they carry so many good tasting treats so I ask the wife to grab some "for the kids" when we're here. All in all, this store's got a lot of everything we need. Prices are typical for groceries, so the wife looks for the sale items. To be honest, I don't do too much of the procurement, that's the wife's specialty, but I do assist w/carrying and bagging and that frees me up to take pictures and look for items that I would like to try in the future. There's also a good sized gas station here w/discount prices and you just have to scan your membership card or punch in your number, but we don't usually get gas here, only if we're low and happen to need to fill up, Safeway gas is still pretty competitively priced compared to a regular gas station, but higher than Costco/Sam's Club gas. Pro-tip: park further to the sides rather than in the middle of the lot in front of the store and walk if you want to avoid being too dep into the parking lot and there are usually a few spots on the outer edges, but closer to the front of the store, I like to park on the west side of the store and walk in to avoid the busy traffic in the lot, some of the drivers do look like they'll just run you over, stay safe folks. read more

This Safeway was our go to grocery store for the longest time until everything about this location became not worth visiting. Their competitor used to be more expensive but now it seems their competitor has better coupons, prices, customers service and quality overall. While this Safeway has gone through a remodel, it seems everytime I visit their produce and products are limited and a bit more than other grocers. In addition, their floors are dirty, aisles are narrow, and when its busy, just annoying to navigate. The lines are always long and if you are looking to get anything from the deli- especially $5 fried chicken be prepared to wait. Its not only the inide that is frustrating. The parking is tight and before you can even get in, you might be asked to buy or sign something by a solicitor. The only thing good about this Safeway might be their cheaper gas but you are still better off dirving a few miles out to Costco. If you still want to try your luck at this Safeway, I recommend going early in the morning. read more

Todays drop in was one that I was definitely a surprise! I have not shopped at Safeway in over Three years. Because of the service. However, today was extremely different. I received a tailored customer service with the floral department and a super helpful young lady by the name of Isabel made the experience awesome. I get to take small arrangements to my sister to brighten her day!!!! Great ambiance! She also, assisted me with downloading the app. Tania was amazing!!! read more

5 Stars for the bakery staff!! I was looking to order a cake for my son's birthday. I started at a local competitor and the customer service made me try somewhere else. I waited 5 minutes without being acknowledged. I didn't get the sense that she wanted to help me with my cake order. The next day I went to Safeway and I was greeted by the most kind, helpful woman. I wish I remembered her name. She was so helpful in choosing the right cake for my son. When my husband picked it up on the day of the party, he said the lady at the counter was so sweet, and he received the cake quickly. It was so delicious, and everybody at the party asked where we ordered it from. I recommend the Safeway bakery if anyone is looking for a cake for s special event. read more

For a long time this was my regular grocery store. I really like Safeway, but this location can be so congested. The parking lot and gas station tent to be very busy and even though the plaza has plenty of parking the grocery store area is always packed. Before you shop, make sure you've checked the Safeway app and selected any coupons/deals you want to utilize. if you're lucky you'll be able to get through check out relatively quickly, but I would avoid peak hours or big shopping days. Around the holidays they have some great deals, it's definitely worth watching for these and taking advantage for certain items or cabinet staples. read more

Watch your receipt and transactions! The "deals" are not being recorded at the register. The app doesn't work well and often times doesn't clip your savings or scan the barcodes for digital "savings". I thought that I had done a good job at the register. My receipt supported my efforts, but my bank statement was charged $11 more than what I spent. Be careful of this, too. This has happened before, so be careful! Grocery shopping these days is like going to Vegas. It's all flashing lights, but when you get home you realize that everything is stacked in the house's favor. read more

Today I went shopping for my Thanksgiving dinner, there were lots of specials and me not knowing the Safeway app. Well, I grabbed everything that was on special and got the best cashier ever!

She is a diamond in the rough.. thank you, Reene.., read more

I was a former deli manager for Safeway. Came on Friday to buy $5 fried chicken. It was approximately 2:00pm. There was a line with over 10 customers just waiting for hot case service. There were at least 5 clerks in the deli. Only 1 clerk was helping all the customers in the hot case line. It was quick if someone just wanted a bucket of fried chicken. It took several minutes if the customer wanted something from the hot case. One clerk was cleaning the hot case. One clerk was cooking fried chicken. Two clerks in the back part of the deli, but I couldn't tell what they were doing. I waited close to 15 minutes to buy one bucket of fried chicken. My interaction with the clerk lasted less than 30 seconds. read more

I shop here regularly to stock up on snacks and drinks for my office. The variety is impressive, the packaging always intact, and the items are fresh. The staff helps me load larger orders into my car, whih saves time. Prices are fair, and for the consistent quality and service, I see real value for my business. read more

Recently, I had a DriveUp & Go order and there were a total of THIRTEEN items that were not included in my order. The refund I received?

Never going to this or probably any Safeway after this read more

Love this Safeway. Everyone I encounter is nice and helpful; from the front door to the pharmacy, to the self-checkout staff. It feels smaller than other Safeway locations but I can find everything I need. I find the Safeway app a bit tedious to use in terms of coupons, but the self-checkout staff asked for my phone, clicked 4-5 places and I was all set. Safeway is currently offering free flu shots so I visited the pharmacy to get more details. The pharmacist answered my questions and provided additional, helpful information. To the leaders of this Safeway location: You've got a great culture here, thank you! read more

The main checkout cashiers here are really wonderful but the wait at the deli is ridiculous! Never seen a hot food bar and deli service so slow! Left many times and witnessed many people leave as well and yet this would be a killer money maker. Seen the same people and disfunction for a while. I dread shopping here. Also impossible to find any help on the floor. read more

I've been a Safeway card member for a very long time! I've received good customer service and customer bad service over the years, however my experience in the Floral Department of this Safeway would be considered excellent customer service! Team Member Tania was not only friendly but kind and patient, she went an extra mile to ensure the large balloons I purchased stayed put by placing them in a larger plastic bag and securing them in place , I explained to her that my event wasn't until the next day! My event turned out well and the balloons were still inflated and looked fantastic! I left the store feeling like a valued customer! Something that is very rare in the world we live in at the moment! Thank you Tania for the excellent customer service, I hope you are a due a raise very soon, because you truly deserve it ! read more

Poorly managed, they allow their employees to sit in front of the carts smoking cigarettes. When asked if the employee could smoke elsewhere so I could breathe while grabbing a cart he said "No" in a sarcastic manner. Done shopping here. read more

Just moved into the area like the Safeway much more better than the Raleys better selection and a lot cleaner

I have been going to this store for more than 2 years, great staff! Very positive! always clean!

This is for Ryan at the meat department! He was absolutely amazing during the crab sale. He was informative and kept reminding everybody in line to clip the coupon. Super friendly, fast, and efficient. Tbh I don't usually give Safeways 5stars but he was incredible. Thank you for everything Ryan!! My parents are going to go insane off these crabs read more

Would NOT recommend drive up pick up order. 3rd time they have given me completely rotten fruit/produce.

Safeway is not my normal go to for grocery shopping, but with the onset of Covid several years ago, and the inability to find certain items at my regular local stores, I've added Safeway to my list of grocery stores to shop at. I find the shopping aisles to be extremely narrow, compared to other stores in my shopping experiences at them. Not all, but many shelves are consistently messy, and they seem to be left that way. I will say that despite the messiness, that I have been fortunate enough to often score with some of the spices and other things that I am usually out looking for, that I haven't been able to find at the other local grocery stores that I frequent. Shoppers tip: become a club member. It doesn't cost anything, and absolutely will save you some hard earned money with your purchase. I tend to stay away from the bakery here. I find their baked goods to be mediocre at best. The same with their meat/poultry. I will pick up some fresh herbs, fruit, and veggies. Not always the greatest, but lately the prices have been fairly reasonable. There are definitely better grocery stores in the area, and you get what you pay for. If you're looking to get by, and just need a few things, Safeway may be your best bet. read more

Shout out to RYAN at the Meat department. Super friendly guy and gave us great customer service. They had a huge crab deal for only 3.99 lb and the line was so long. He was the perfect leader.

I went here for the first time from West Sacramento by Nugget Market. I haven't been to a Safeway since the West Sacramento store was closed. There are quit a few Safeway stores in the Sacramento area but this one only took me 18 minutes from Nugget. Every employee here took their time in helping me that I ran into and I had questions. They all went out of their way to help me and they were all patient and helpful. This store is huge, very roomy aisles, well stocked and prices were competitive even some cheaper than Walmart! I still had my Safeway rewards but I had to change my password. Their weekly ad comes out on Wednesday but also their $5.00 Friday deals too on Wednesday so you can add both to your shopping list and print it out. Thanks and I'll be back! read more

I work a lot and am a person who utilizes grocery delivery. Every time I order there is an issue. Whether it's rotten sandwich meat that is visibly dangerous, or produce that is growing mold, there's an issue. This time, they failed to send nearly $100 of my food and tried to blame the door dasher they had pick the food up. It's not the dasher's fault. They scan the bags out and would have known that some of my order was not dispensed. They always have excuses and lack accountability. Even Walmart is more reliable than this service and that's saying ALOT. I'm not trying to be mean, but come on! Food is not cheap and we have to pay $10 for a delivery fee and then a tip. These deliveries are a blessing when they get it right, especially as a working exhausted mother who works 2 jobs. read more

They're selling expired goods. This is now the second instance where I realized the dog food I bought from this location was expired. The first instance was a FreshPet roll in the first week of July that had expired in March! I contacted FreshPet directly about this and they were shocked! The second instance being later on that same week, July 5, where I purchased a bag of Open Nature Beef & Brown Rice kibble that I just now, realized expired in back in May. I will be contacting corporate as soon as they're open as this is completely unacceptable. If they can't do proper FIFO for dog food, what makes you think they're checking any of the stuff they're selling for humans to consume?! I will not be shopping at this location even if it's the only Safeway close to me - I am completely disgusted and appalled at this situation caused by their teams gross negligence. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. read more

This Safeway in Natomas is getting a little overdue for remodeling! The entrance and floor look dilapidated! I have seen a lot of very beautiful Safeway stores and some were nice but did not keep up very well as this one in Natomas. This store looks like it is supposed to be a nice-looking store but the management just let it go a little too long without upkeep and maintenances. The store is still well organized and clean inside. The meats and veggies are fresh. This Safeway is located in a nice area and the parking lot is clean and safe even at night. I just hope the Safeway corporation will have a remodeling done for the store soon! read more

Safeway has been a grocery chain since the 70s where my parents even shopped. They have been more competitive with some good sales over the past 5 plus years. I will shop here when good deals pop up. This store is very busy. They have big probs with homeless, shoplifting HS/MS kids, pushy candy sold by kids, homeless lingering on outside tables, smash and grabs in their parking lot. Most lots in Natomas have these same problems but Safeway lot is much worse as a whole. Food quality is pretty good. Produce, sandwiches, hot food, meats etc. Flowers/roses are good for a quick buy. I have bought a few rose bouquets and flower bouquets and they were nice. Starbucks and Jamba juice is in here. US Bank - good to do banking and convenient hours. I think they open quite late. The checkers are trained well and this store especially will say thank you to your name they see on your receipt. Lines can be long during busy times. This store gets much more business than crappy high-priced Raley's due to the deals and price points. But then you get more lower income peeps here than Raley's which is the same as Target vs. Walmart. They do not open lines fast enough. Lines build up past the aisles when busy and block those going across with carts. Overall, a decent market to get groceries. Wait for the good sales. I would avoid the gas if possible. Insanely busy, people bothering you for change etc at the pumps and I have seen arguments over pump spots. I have left just to go to another gas station to avoid due to the wait. read more

My SO stopped in to grab things for dinner at home that evening. This is a very clean, well laid out grocery store. It features a HUGE liquor/beer/wine section and a nice sized deli.

Really clean, neat but vagrants run amuck, partially eating things & leaving the packages. Found all I needed, a bit pricy...is what it is.

I'm disappointed with the bakery. Their customer service is great however this is the 3rd time their Tres Leches cake is DRY. I don't know why they even label their cake Tres Leches when there's no moisture in the cake. I'm extremely disappointed especially after the second instance I had brought it to their intention because I had called ahead and asked for extra milk mixture and it was hardly anything. I really hope they actually learn to make a proper Tres Leches cake or stop labeling their DRY fruit cakes as Tres Leches. read more

Since moving back to north Natomas, this has been our go-to market to pick things up. Parking is abundant, albeit definitely crowded in some instances, but usually never have trouble.
