My 'regular' grocery store, but I actually prefer to shop in Alamo. San Ramon is busier, and has a better selection of some products, but they're stretched thin for service people in meat and seafood, and bakery. There's a clerk in the Deli named Andy that has always provided great service, even as busy as they always are. And the people who prepare the food for the hot bar do an excellent job, even though they run out of things quickly. read more

This review is specially for the store manager. You know who you are. First off, I was disappointed by the aggressive and unnecessary management at self checkout a few days ago. I was using self checkout with my grocery items and well within reason and there was no one in line. Out of nowhere the manager approached me and loudly said "this is for less than 15 times". Aside from the fact that her tone was unprovoked and publicly embarrassing, the sign reads "about 15 items". Management should focus on helping customers, not power tripping. Oh by the way, don't buy the strawberries here. More often than not they are moldy. You have better luck buying strawberries at the farmers market on Saturdays. To the store manager, Angela, how about addressing that issue, the broken door in the salad aisle, and the not so fresh bread? Thanks! read more

My husband and I came to do our grocery shopping here. We had a coupon for $5 a pound for beef and shrimp, so we decided to come here and stock up. We also were able to score some pasta deals for $.99 a box, pretty cool. Service was fine. Staff was courteous. read more

Do not buy ground beef from this store. I spent over $20 on ground beef only to open up to rotten rancid smelling ground beef. There needs to be better quality control in the meat department. I'm just livid with the cost of groceries that Safeway would allow this to happen. This is beyond disgusting and disappointing. I will not be purchasing any meat products from this Safeway again. read more

Me and my son got on the wrong bus and ended up here in San Ramon but we found a Safeway it's never a miss finding a Safeway the staff was vary helpful and the guy who helped me check out was happy to say good morning and chat for a minute witch is always beautiful since self checkout seems to be taking over the grocery shopping experience read more

Wow, there are some scary reviews here. My experience was pleasant. I arrived early morning (~7 AM). Staff were friendly/professional. It had a decent amount of product choices (per usual). I didn't get any on-site department options (so maybe that's where the discrepancies are?) I was in and out in 10 minutes. Area felt safe/secure. Seems fine to me. read more

I was here for getting some donuts and bread in the morning. They have gourmet donuts $1.99 for each. The cashier was helpful at the checkout. The customer (lady in 50s) behind me was not in a good mood or in a hurry. read more

This Safeway almost always has been good to visit and go to. They got a pretty big parking lot with lots of space and best of all is how it's opened 24 hours. You can go here anytime even the middle of the night and get stuff. They're always well stocked on items and of you have the app you can get extra deals to help get the best deals possible at Safeway. The fried chicken is also delicious, sandwiches are good, and the variety of items is unbeatable. As for the environment they cleaned and remodeld this Safeway few years ago so it has a nicer appeal to it now so it won't feel like a bad place to be. read more

On August. 21, 2026, I visited this store to shop 2 Instacart orders. My phone went dead in the middle of me shopping my orders, so I went to Starbucks to charge my phone and I also left the shopping cart there. I continued shopping, by looking at the customers list, going to grab the items, then bring items back to my phone, scanned them, then put them in the cart. It was a couple of Employees and Customers that seen me doing this. I also, asked a couple of ladies sitting at Starbucks to keep an eye on my phone and they agreed to it. After awhile my phone charged a bit so I grabbed my phone and cart to go continue shopping my order. As I was walking off a lady walked up to me, blocking my cart, asking if I paid for my stuff. I said, what do you mean I'm not even done shopping. I said, so you trying to accuse me of walking out with this cart and I'm not even walking towards the front door? I went off, because it was so many people right there watching them falsely accuse me. Another lady came up saying she's the one that told her to ask me that. I'm like well both of you B words were wrong. I work in Healthcare and had just came from a 12 hour shift and decided to catch a few orders on the way home smh. I guess cause I'm black they thought I was up to no good, but they were wrong and I cussed them out, because if it were them they would've felt the same way. The other lady was trying to apologize, but Angela kept telling her not to waste her time. She was extremely unprofessional and rude. She didn't care that she falsely accused me of stealing, even after I showed her that I was doing Instacart. After we had words she threatened to call the police. For what...don't know! I continued on with my order, which was extremely late at that point. I contacted my Customers, so that I don't get a violation. A few Associates walked up to me and told me how rude she be to everyone and how no one like her. After, I checked out and walked out the door, 2 more Associates ran out to tell me that they seen everything and wouldn't mind being a witness if I report her to Corporate. They said, she's rude to everyone and they're very surprised that she still work there smh. Once I got to my Customer and explained to them, they asked for a picture. I showed them a picture and the husband said, Oh she's very confrontational with everyone. He said that he visits the store often and see her all the time. This lady need to be fired because it's not right that she's working in Customer Service with these ways. read more

This place has a dirty bathroom fried bean such a big brand grocery store, piss all over the bathroom floor. Very un sanitary how can any employee go to the bathroom in peace like this either? Whoever runs to the store needs to get reevaluated as a manager. And or fired I came here about a week ago as well, and the bathrooms were still the same dirty wise. Something like this, especially in a busy area and what its brand name the batteries need to be cleaned every day. read more

0 stars for the bakery. They put the color of our gender reveal on the outside of the cake. We confirmed before (and confirmed after the fact with the manager) that they can do a gender reveal cake and have it done by the time we wanted it. We were a bit uneasy because it seemed she spoke little English, but she also seemed to understand us. We figured they do this day in and day out, this is their profession. They are the experts. We filled out their form for a gender reveal cake and gave them our results. She opened the paper, smirked, and handed the results back to us. When we picked up the cake, we watched them from the counter box up our blue cake. The Safeway bakery counter is where we found out we're having a boy. Everything was selected white, with added pink and blue flowers along the top edge of the cake. We put a question mark in the lettering section on the form so they could write it on top of the cake. This whole set up screams gender reveal, right? If you're going to hire people that speak little to no English and could not care less about doing the correct job, please micromanage them, because they ruined a moment we'll never get back and will never have again. I don't care what their native language is, but if you're working face to face with customers and English forms, speak and understand English. Also hire people that care and communicate. At the end of the day, they don't care. They don't care that they wrote blue in the wrong section. They don't care to communicate with each other. They don't care that they ruined something that was supposed to be fun and special for me. No consequences, no retraining, nothing. They clearly didn't get that this is a gender reveal cake and we communicated to them that it was. I blame the manager. 10/04 around 11:30 am if you want to view our reaction to having a boy, which was supposed to be a moment between my partner and I only. But glad San Ramon Safeway bake crew got to join us I guess... read more

I don't understand the extremely low 2 star rating! I LOOOOOOVE THIS SAFEWAY. It's closest to my home and I have to say that the staff is EXTREMELY friendly, ALWAYS greeting me. The food is always fresh in terms of ready to go meals and the deli/hot food bar. If they are ever out of something, they will replenish it immediately. If you are not satisfied with your purchase you can always take it back. I love the environment that the staff creates! They even slice bread rounds or baguettes that they make in house for you! Theyre also able to allow you to sample certain things such as deli meats/salads, etc. I also enjoy the cleanliness of this location. read more

Waited 20 mins for service in the deli sliced meat dept.. 4 workers & everyone was standing g around. Really Bad attitude & grumpy. Moving REALLY SLOW! Poor service & bad attitude. How can you expect the business to survive!!! Really disappointed. read more

I want to compliment Dexter for going out of his way to help me at the self check out. He spent extra time researching and answering my question, and honored a price that I had wrong. Extraordinarily good service! Thank you Dexter. read more

Came in to stock up on our way to Pleasanton on 2/1/26 ~4:10pm. We were going to get some dinner items but after watching another "customer" run frantically in front of the pharmacy then turn around and run up some shelves back towards the stockroom...well, that changed our minds. The kids who witnessed this 4 legged furry creature were thrilled with the chase. We were stunned. Head to tail tip about a foot long and well fed. We informed a stock clerk and the cashier. Not good at all! read more

First day I have encountered an unfriendly cashier. No greeting or acknowledgment as she continually cleans her area while I wait her her to finish. Stone faced Maria. Maybe she's having a bad day. read more

The lady with the hair net who works in the deli. You are a total B_TCH. You need a total attitude adjustment. You have no skill in customer service. I waited for over 10 mins and no one in the deli department came to assist me. All of them just ignored me. They must be all blind. WTF?! read more

Service is terrible. Will never shop there again! Won't even price check an item. Bought corn price was 3.99 charged me $5. Wouldn't price check, I said I would take a picture of the price, they didn't care. I went and brought the sign to manager so he can adjuster sign so it doesn't happen to another customer. read more

Hated this grocery store before the remodel. I would rather starve than wait 30 minutes to check out at the grocery store like how it was before- luckily, that's fixed with over staffing registers. Stopped in recently out of survival as my mother in law was passionate to shop at Safeway and Safeway only. We were impressed with the remodel, and how fresh the produce was. The selection is impressive, and quality so far has been excellent. What I don't love is the layout. Call me old school, but I miss the days where grocery stores were just grocery stores. I don't want to grab my produce and then walk halfway across the store, passing aisles of housewares and knickknacks and towels with tacky sayings on them, just to get to the rest of the food to shop for my groceries. Canned goods are separated amongst 3 far apart aisles, which causes me to spend double the time in the store crossing back and forth just trying to figure out where the dang canned black beans are. The lines are fast now, and the service tends to be friendly, so that's nice. read more

Staff is super unfriendly. They refused my money transfer transaction despite I had all documents being okay. Representative was very rude and unfriendly. When I talked to the manager, it apprared that he had worse attitude to the customer than the rep. read more

This review is specifically about the time I rented a Rug Doctor from this Safeway. On Sunday, October 15 around 6 pm, I stopped by Safeway (2505 San Ramon Valley Blvd) and asked if they have a Rug Doctor available for rent. Two people helped me and when I asked that question, one of them asked the other if the Rug Doctors have been fixed, in which the other person answered 'yes' with a sense of skepticism. I thought little of it, rented it anyway, and went about my day. On 9:30 that same day, I started getting everything situated to get my area rug cleaned only to find out that the Rug Doctor is not working properly. The 'Brush Jam' light was on and the brush wasn't spinning at all. When I inspected it, there was a ton of hair (for previous renters) that caused it to malfunction. I clean it out and it still doesn't spin. From there, I decide to just pack it up and I'll return it when I get off from work the next day. Today (October 16) at 5:15 pm, I return the Rug Doctor to the store and ask for a refund. I was denied of that refund because I'm returning it almost 24 hours later. While that is true, it's 100% reasonable that I rent something on a Sunday night, work a full day (Monday) and come immediately after 5 pm when I get off work. I spoke with Angela, Front End Manager who was dismissive, unhelpful, and unwilling to reason with me. I asked for her managers contact information and she gives me the store number--continuing to be unhelpful. While I love shopping at this Safeway for groceries, I feel as if this incident is a good representation of the store and it's management if an incident like this doesn't get resolved. 1 star for now. read more

As I arrive a police officer is writing a police report. Inside elderly women are seen clutching their purses like a football at the Superbowl. Somehow this Safeway has bad juju. A feng Shui master might need to come in here or be consulted - I don't know what makes things feel so uncomfortable. The layout is a bit different than other similar stores. Some remodeling and flooring is being redone.... but I don't think any of that is why people are so on edge. I did carefully inspect a new area that I'm guessing is some walk in fridge near the registers - maybe for flowers. Looks like they are putting tiles on top of linoleum with a little leveler sandwiched between. I don't think it is a good practice and is probably why existing and fairly new floor is peeling and cracking throughout the store. I came at 5pm - donuts looked to be all sold out - which isn't necessarily bad. Grabbed some other baked goods and odd items on my shopping list. I found everything quick enough even though I'm not that familiar with things here. Lines at regular registers were short as was self check out which I used. As I leave a ten year old Honda pulls out of a spot right where the police report was written. Its really loud and sounds terrible like a garbage disposal. I'm taking a guess somebody took the cat right in broad daylight. I think lighting or security needs special attention maybe even some other element that can't be easily quantified or identified. Again, I don't think the problem has to do with superficial paint or cosmetic floors - parking lot design or store layout might be the problem. Lighting or lack of plants or... read more

The quality of all meats, particularly ground beef, have gone way down in quality. If you're going to buy ground beef here, avoid the bulk size portions and ignore "manager specials " or stickers indicating reduced prices. At Safeway you really get what you pay for when it comes to ground beef. I got a big value pack (80/20fat but it might as well have been 60/40), it was tasteless and so fatty, the texture was off as well. Spongy at first and then it got rubbery the more i chewed. It leaves a weird film in mouth. Its reminds me a lot of Taco Bell but worse if you can believe it. I ended up getting their patties and it was no different don't buy their in-house non label ground beef. Get bison or the other small (square) packaged beef that are higher quality and grass fed. Hit/miss when it cones to buying their 4 for 20 chicken mix n match chicken bundles sometimes the chicken thigh is rubbery and weird. Sometimes the meat is funky and near expiring date. All in all.. their meats have turned me off completely. I am done with Safeway. read more

Safeway really needs to get their people retrained. This is just horrible not the first time this location has the cups less than halfway. On top $3.99, corporate needs to keep an eye on these type of things, at end of day no one will purchase them and it's going to be waste. Workers should put some effort into it read more

Use to be good customer services. Not any more, they so rued and with attitude. They do not owner their advertised price. I just do not understand why people are shopping here !!! They not cheap either. read more

Bought "fresh" strawberries and get home to feed kids lunch and the strawberries are half frozen. Went back immediately to return for credit and was given an attitude. I can buy frozen strawberries in the freezer section. This store keeps going down in quality and service. Have to fight for correct prices every time. There are other options and that's where I'll go now. Vote with your wallet! read more

I really like this Safeway. Not sure if I've been here before but this Safeway feels very homie and just a city over from Danville. I'll be coming back again soon. read more

I shop early mornings due to third parties shopping order( for example; Instacart, DoorDash or uber eats) and staff make it feel very unwelcoming. They lack customer service and I don't trust their food. I was walking near one of the prepared food coolers near the Deli and I saw at the bottom something brown and for some reason I was thinking a bird got inside... as I got closer I saw it inch out and I was a deer in headlights...I saw a very well fed RAT casually stroll to the other end of the cooler not running, not startled ( by me or workers or by the loud floor cleaning machine that I almost got my rear end hit because the worker was coming in hot down the aisle) but casually cruise on by and saw no worker pay no mind.. I was so uneasy for the rest of my order I had to cancel it, it just did not feel right giving a customer items from a place like this. I would stay away if I were you read more

What a surprise!! Such a delight to be helped by Maria this morning!

Wait at deli with no line is always 5 to 10 minutes when not busy. Even if you call deli they will forward your call to meat department.

This is by far the worst Safeway I have ever been to. The produce is not fresh. Rotten fruits and vegetables mixed with regular produce. The meat counter is unhygienic. I bought fish and it has a really strong odor as if it's gone bad inside their display case. Do not shop here. Go to any other grocery store. read more

Only giving it high rating so people would see this! What the actual HECK is this cake?!? If you were looking for an ugly birthday cake you've come to the right place !!! A 5 year old could've done a better job! "Happy" & "holland" aren't even in cursive & "birthday" is not even spelt correctly "birthlay" &done even get me started on those flowers! Also not that it's this nice man's fault cause he was just helping out & was very nice, but the JANITOR was the one who packed up my cake, like why is the janitor packing up cakes?! San Ramon Safeway bakery DO BETTER!! Will NEVER* be order any cakes from here!! The cake did taste better then it looked so it's getting a 3/10 read more

Funny the rating is so low. I'm guessing folks that shop at the San Ramon Safeway have no reference. I live in Hayward and I regularly shop at the Safeway on Foothill and occasionally shop at the Safeway on Jackson. I also shop at the Safeway in Castro Valley on Redwood. The Safeway in San Ramon is a gazillion times better! The aisles are huge! The fruit and veggie section felt like it was as big as the entire store in Hayward. They also had a full freezer case of Open Nature frozen skillet meals, which I've not seen anywhere else. I haven't tried them yet, but I loved having them as an option for dinner; I bought two. Checking out was a breeze. There were no issues. This Safeway is a bit too far away to become my regular store, but if I have a need to go to San Ramon for say Total Wine & More or Zachary's Pizza, I will definitely do my shopping at the San Ramon Safeway! read more

5 stars for Maria at the deli. I've been to many Safeways and no one makes breakfast burritos like her. She was very friendly with all customers even when the line was long. Every Safeway deli needs a Maria! read more

I will now take a drive to Danville to do my shopping. evening staff is rude and doesn't even want to be there. the only one that always has a positive attitude is Maria! my kids will literally run to her line! Tina needs to be retrained. She made the entire shopping experience terrible!! read more

I love how this Safeway is clean and organized. I can find all what I need in no time. I just moved to the area in March and I am thrilled to have a supermarket just down the street from me. I think my only gripe is that the workers are not very engaged and friendly. I can walk through the isles and no one will greet me with a good morning or can I help you find something. Oh I do like the hot bar some of the dishes were so good! read more

Want to give a huge shout out to Julian and his team at the San Ramon Safeway floral department. Their arrangements are just beautiful. We asked for assistance in with our little vases for a party we had last night, and they were beautiful on the tables. Julian was very helpful with ideas, colors, etc. Both he and his team also put together a lovely arrangement of flowers for my husband to surprise me with for my birthday. Everyone is very friendly and happy each time I walk into their area. Thank you to all!!! read more

Really bad customer service. Wish it would improve but it hasn't. Called the manager a few times about it.

Been coming to this particular Safeway for over 20 years now and can say it's heading in the downward direction. Long lines before and during covid. Empty shelves are the usual. Fish/meat counter no one around and waiting for 10 mins before someone finally came over. Unacceptable. Hope soon they will have more employees to be ready for customers both in line and at the counter! read more
