A great little pharmacy that sometimes gets a little busy. Everyone who works there is very professional and if you're shopping in the store, it's very convenient..If you're unable to get to the store yourself, they have a delivery service that goes out once a day around noon, Monday through Friday. Make sure to check the new hours. They're now closed for lunch. I believe you can also get flu and Covid shots there, but you would have to make sure of that in advance, you might need an appointment. I take a medication that's not available at most pharmacies, and they are able to get it, and deliver it, which I deeply appreciate. If you take a hard to find medication, give them a call. They can usually order get it within 24 to 48 hours. This is a Godsend with hard to find meds. read more

They need to have more staff at this pharmacy. I went in for a Covid shot. This was my first time there, and I was told I would have to be registered. That was fine, but the pharmacist then spent a lot of time answering the phone and working on other issues. I had not been informed that would be the case. After a 30 minute wait , I left. Yeah. read more

Sorry I didn't read an earlier review about the decline of this store. Public restrooms are out of order. You can use a portable toilet outside. Very long lines at checkout. The organic celery looks downright scary. Is there any reason to ever shop here again? Is Safeway in free fall? read more

Safeway - Drugstores Near Me - San Francisco, California

I really have a like/hate relationship with this store! I only go here because it's close and convenient otherwise, you'll find me at the Lakeshore Albertson's! Where to begin... 1) Cashier on the far left 10 items or less check out lane: This guy (he looks hispanic but I can be wrong) is a total jerk. One time he charged me for the danish price ($1+) for two bar donuts. When I complained, he grudgingly gave me a refund and said, "I'll give it to you now but you should know that big donuts costs more. We only charge 49 cents for the rounds" So the next time I went by the bakery, I asked them flat out, how much are the bars? They said, same price as the round. Lying Bastard! When my DH went to buy baby food, he gave him an internet coupon. The guy refused to take it. So my DH said he didn't want the food. Well smart ass decided that he doesn't care. If it's on the conveyer belt, he's gonna charge it to us. We had to go back to customer service to get our money back. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY. Go to any line but his! 2) They don't take internet coupons. Well there goes some of my business. I'll take it to Albertson's & Target thank you. 3) Bakery sucks: I swear they must have some of the worse bakers there. They mucked up my kid's birthday cake (the balloons looked like big blobs of crap!). The red icing was also a neon red. If you touch it, your skin turns red, no kidding! My sister bought a cake at another Safeway and the decoration was much nicer. Oh yeah, when the donuts go on sale, the bakers find a way to make the stock smaller with lots of empty hole pockets. The chocolate frosting is also very runny. No matter what you do, don't buy their bake goods! 4) Expired dairy products - believe it or not, they don't remove expired milk from their fridge. I made the unfortunate mistake of buying milk that expired on 6/21 (I bought it on 6/24) that I had to return. So be careful when you buy! read more

If you're a healthcare worker don't come here to get your booster. I work on a COVID unit with constant exposure to COVID-19. As soon as the booster was approved, I made my appointment for my 3rd dose of Pfizer. As soon as I got here, Jennifer L and Joann gave me a very hard time for my reasoning of receiving the booster. They even went so far to ask me if I had any medical conditions to qualify me. They kept trying to make excuses like "your vaccine card isn't on file, you don't have a digital copy" etc. when I had a photo of my actual card to show them. The CDC guidance clearly says not to deny anyone the vaccine due to lack of documentation. As fellow healthcare workers, I would think that they would be more than happy to support the frontline workers. I've worked in vaccine clinics and we are more than happy to give vaccines to people that want them, especially given the amount of people that are anti vax. I've never had this experience before, and would never give anyone a hard time who wanted a vaccine, especially those on the frontline. For anyone that has the same experience as me, I've attached the CDC guidance if you ever encounter similar Karen's/Jennifer's/Joann's that want to deny you the vaccine. Booster qualification for healthcare workers: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0924-booster-recommendations-.html CDC guidance if anyone denies you for lack of documentation: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/immunocompromised.html No one should have to go through this experience. The vaccine is our number one weapon in this pandemic. I hope these two woman reflect on this and treat others with respect. If anyone denied them the vaccine, I'm sure they would be just as upset. Edit: I appreciate the reply from Dawn and I will be in contact with leadership. I did end up getting the booster, but it shouldn't have been as difficult as these two staff members made it. read more

I like this Safeway. The bakery has better quality of usual. The costumer service is good too. I recommend this Safeway.

Did you know these guys do travel immunizations? yes indeed. far out, right? you have to go online and fill in a travel form and then dah-dahh, they do the prescriptions and stuff. got typhoid, tetanus etc. done for a trip to Panama. weird but true. google safeway travel medicine (or similar) for details. read more

For some reason the other reviews for the pharmacy are actually about the rest of the store. The pharmacy is adequate. So three stars. To address the other reviews, if you think this place is ghetto then you have no idea how ghetto it can get in Oakland and Vallejo where I've lived before. You do get the riff-raff from the bonfires on the beach and you get the homeless from the Beach, GG Park, and Sutro Heights so the panhandling can be moderately aggressive and you get all kinds of people who are high on who-knows-what. My only beef with them is the meat department, but it's Safeway after all so go to a butcher. On the other hand their beer, wine, and liquor sales are very good. Sometimes you can find Maker's Mark for around fifteen dollars. I've heard that this location sells more beer and more firewood than any other Safeway in the country. I don't expect them to change anything. read more

The pharmacists here are really professional and caring. Over the years I've been prescribed hard-to-get medication which requires them making numerous calls to the Doctor and the insurance company. They're always kind about it. They'll happily set up recurring scripts to fill automatically, and are super nice about filling a prescription at the last minute. At tax time you can get a free copy off all the medications you've purchased over the year, and what they cost. read more

Both restrooms seem to be broken at 9:00 in the morning. Terrible service. This place is falling apart.

I, too, am a little surprised to see reviews for the grocery store listed under the pharmacy category. I believe they rightly should be reviewed separately. They provide very different services. I find the pharmacists and techs to be very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. The prices are also very reasonable. I've used many other pharmacies and this Safeway pharmacy is definitely my first choice. read more

See some people still posting here regarding other sections of Safeway which don't deserve great reviews. I've been using this pharmacy for decades even though my meds usually cost a couple of dollars more because my prescription plan gets a somewhat lower price at another chain. You can call twenty-four seven and order a prescription. The message tells you when it will be ready. If they have to call my physician they do so right away and follow through if they don't hear back. When I come in the prescription is always there as promised. (They do call me when the prescription is available.) For such reliable, helpful service I have no problem paying a couple of dollars more. (I also get my shots there as well and they always do an excellent job in that area as well. read more

This Safeway is ok right by Ocean Beach. Nice big parking lot and it had items that other Safeways did not have. My aunt was hunting for coffee flavor Haagen-Dazs ice cream and somehow we manage to find it here. read more

I recently switched to this pharmacy when my insurance changed. I was a little skeptical about getting my medications from a grocery store, but the location is convenient. I needn't have worried. They've been incredibly courteous and professional, and were able to move prescriptions over from my old pharmacy within a day, despite being swamped with new customers. They also asked if I wanted a generic version of one of my medications, which I didn't even know existed. So I'm also going to save a noticeable amount of money every month. Hooray! read more

Love this pharmacy! Have been getting my prescriptions filled there for years. Once you get to know the staff, Alan, Joanna, Jennifer, et al. They take great care of you. Very rarely do you have to wait and they are always helpful if you have questions. read more

I was sitting in my car and saw a guy hit a drunk in the parking lot with his car intentionally. Then car parked in red zone.i tried to talk to security who was busy playing scratchers.he then says I'm looking for the driver to tell him he can't park there.then same young man moves his car and takes a handicapped spot.Great Security Safeway. Now I know why so many spots are taken with no placards visable. read more

Pretty decent store in an accessible location. Well stocked. Much better than the Noriega Safeway, which is a mess.
