I've actually had a few really positive experiences at this Safeway. It has a nice vibe and everyone seems really friendly. The store is clean and well organized and the food is generally good quality. While there have been a handful of people who've been very helpful, recently Ginder took a lot of time to make sure we got we needed. He was willing to answer questions, was extremely patient and helpful even on a day that looked pretty crazy, and folks like that are why I always go to this Safeway when there are so many other options. So thanks again Ginder, and everyone else there who's been nice or helpful in the past. This is overdue. read more

I happen to like this location a lot mostly because they open pretty late and are pretty stocked at that time. I also like this location because I can shop in peace. It's not located near another business that's open late night so you won't have any loiterers. During the daytime, parking can be pretty tough. read more

Was here to pick up groceries around lunchtime. Picked up the salmon nigiri and was pleasantly surprised. The salmon was fresh and tasty, and it made for a great quick meal. Definitely a solid option when you want something convenient without sacrificing quality. 3 stars. read more

This Safeway is close to the hotel we stay at while in town for work so it's got the convenience factor. Overall, Safeway is overpriced but they have a good selection of items. Their bakery items are pretty good and always have a nice selection of fruits and veggies. They also have a decent selection of cold beer/drinks. read more

" " The team member tried to convince me that two medium crowns of broccoli's price $8 was a normal price for the item, and my Safeway card wasn't enough to get the listed price on the vegetable display/rack that the listed price on the rack needed either a app discount or a scan of a paper AD. Ended up having the listed price of broccoli at labeled price after discussing it with the member. Next item of two items!! Milk was listed at $4 for a gallon and he tried sneak in a $7 milk price for a gallon. Safeway! Safeway! Safeway! I've been here before this Safeway was built, and I've just don't know what to say. This is the same conditions when the older Safeway went out of business on Old San Francisco Rd. For those of you who remember the big "Inflation" sign in the front!!...:/ Still love Safeway though!! Many great memories . read more

We're here regularly.. There's nothing wrong with the store. It's a Safeway. Cashiers are fine, the store is stocked and fairly clean.

If I could, I would give this location a ZERO-STAR rating. NO ONE has called me back after my repeated follow-up calls to the corporate and retail store customer service number on June 12, June 16, and June 18. I have been trying to get a response regarding the incredibly poor behavior of an employee in the meat section, as well as the way a lady at the customer service desk handled my refund, plus waiting at the Customer Service over 10 minutes just to be helped. All of these frustrating incidents happened at this 785 East El Camino Real, Sunnyvale 94087 location on June 12. read more

This is my Favorite Safeway! The Bakery has a great selection of fresh breads, bagels, and donuts. They have the largest selection. The Staff are nice, and they give good Customer Service. read more

Very kind staff and clean bathroom. Never a long line for checkout and glad they don't change the aisles too much. I would recommend only shopping with a Safeway card/membership (it's free) as otherwise you miss out on lots of deals and will pay way more. read more

Good selections and pretty good staff at this location. This is not the usual location I go to but when I go here I am always able to get what I need and if it isn't in stock the staff are always nice to check their system to see if any are in the back read more

Very nice Safeway.Pleanty of parking in va big outdoor shopping center.Friendly helpful employees.Nicly stocked shelves.

This is a review only of the DriveUp & Go service here, as I've never stepped foot inside the store itself. I ordered online from here by accident, if that's even possible. You see, there's another Safeway fewer than two miles up El Camino Real from here--that Safeway might also have an El Camino Real address--that I've been to, as in I've perused its aisles before and have bought things from it. I had spent the night nearby, and I realized the night before that I wouldn't have time in the morning to shop and drive home, so I put in a quick order before hitting the hay. When I followed the GPS to the address from my order in the morning, I was annoyed because I thought it had directed me to the wrong Safeway, but GPS and my order were correct; I was the one who had ordered from the wrong place! I did the normal Safeway parking-lot two-step and prayed that they wouldn't forget anything. The person who brought out my order came out only about two minutes after I called (or checked in--I don't remember which I did on this occasion), and she was friendly. When I got home, I noticed that one of the items that they supposedly were out of had been replaced by something similar. This happens all the time, but they normally list the swap on the receipt. In this case, they hadn't charged me for the item but had given me an alternative anyway. A freebie! I was so excited after so many times that other Safeways had just forgotten stuff and charged me for it anyway. I had milk and cereal for the workweek ahead, and I was happy. read more

The worst safeway hands down. I usually pass this dump on my way to the safeway a mile down the street, further away. This store not only has the most aggravating parking lot, but also an incompetent staff. Tonight, after ringing up and bagging $150 worth of groceries. Had to move registers. Got thru another$160 of groceries and the goddamn machine froze again. Bagging and unbagging my groceries and doing it again and having to do it for the third time would have made me homicidal. The pierced manager was absolutely worthless and offered no help. My fault for saving a couple of miles and going to this garbage store. NOT RECOMMENDED p.s. This bad review overwrote my last bad review complaining about lack of bags, poor produce and only 2 lanes open no matter the time. I HATE THIS STORE read more

The best Safeway to go to for flowers, simply because of Marisol in the floral department. Always makes the most beautiful bouquets, very quickly as well. My go to Safeway simply because of Marisol! read more

This Safeway is one of two that I live close to, yet I prefer to shop at this store. The reason is that the Safeway Pick Up staff is always amazing and ready with my drive up order. I order groceries online and pick them up at least once a week. This not only saves me time but makes it so convenient. The team is always so helpful. Today, Yadira brought out and assembled my order. The produce was amazing. Thank you. read more

The produce section in this store is very dirty. Many of the bins have dirt and dust caked into them. All the plastic bag rolls for produce were empty except for a single one. The zucchini bin had several moldy zucchinis inside. I also purchased a pack of mushrooms that was moldy in the inside the day after purchasing. For produce I would recommend walking across the street to K Market. read more

Today I went to the Safeway at the location 785 E El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 94087 location ; and had a Very bad experience. This is how it started: I went at the customer Service for a Western Union service, and waited a long time as the guy at the cashier( Tall ~ 6'3 Caucasian with glasses) was helping previous customer who took quite a while. (Asian female) I waited about 15mn as they took all the time( they knew each other) therefore I patiently waited. After that long wait no greetings, nor a ' sorry for the wait' was addressed to me ( African- American female) I gave my ID and said I was receiving. But kept asking for sending infos.. but when I reaffirmed that I'm the receiver and gave my ID he said the name wasn't 'correct! Lol Mind you that I've been to that location previously and female employee helped. So started arguing that the name wasn't matching and couldn't process my request. So frustrated I left and ask for my infos written down back . I went to the next nearby Safeways ( 2mn away 150 E El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 94087 United States) Two young men(Latinos) came directly to me even before I said anything they both said ' Western Union' isn't working.. weird I quietly left. However going to the next store (639 S Bernardo Ave Sunnyvale, CA 94087 United States) ai made sure to call ( a guy picked and said WU was working fine) then went there. Here, I was again this time waited by 2(latinas) at the service desk and as soon as I arrived they both said WU isn't working and down. I responded ' I just spoke to a man ' and even show them the store phone number that shows it was theirs. But Manager the Cynthia M. Said no man is here that picked the phone as they Western Union want working.. So with this being said 3 Safeways couldn't service e today .. weird right? I suspect the first guy alerted his fellows coworkers and told the story of me refusing his services because 3 Safeways in the roll (not far from each other) not servicing WU seemed quite STRANGE..Unsure if it was some type of racism but Safeway left a sour taste in mouth.. Safeway please consider hiring KINDER people in 2025 and let the toxic/inconsiderate ones go. Thank you read more

It's the closest Safeway to my house so it means a lot to me that it's a great store. What I like: *FRIENDLY: I seem to come across the friendliness folks here and also at in the Scott's Valley location. *CARTS & BASKETS: Always available, unlike the El Camino store, which will run out while using tons in the store to stock sales. *HELPFUL: When I can't find something, they help me every time, with a smile. This applies to every department I've frequented. *CLEAN: During Covid, this store constantly cleaned their carts. Not all stores did. Honestly, I don't care that stores didn't do this since places had wipes available but, choosing to do it is a sign of a store that really cares. Lucky is slightly closer, but not as easily maneuverable and over all are not as strong on the positives as this store, so I come here. POINT OF VIEW: Someone commented on outdated milk and how outrageous it was to find it and on behalf of all stores, I'm going to disagree. While any store needs to do their best to rotate product, the reality is that stores can have 15,000 to 60,000 individual products/variations (I googled it) so it's completely unrealistic to expect an occasional oversight! This is why I'd never put something in my cart with a short expiration date without first checking myself, because it's important to me. If I was in a hurry and discovered an issue later, I'd simply return it with no criticism. This would ONLY be a concern if this were a constant experience in a given store. read more

Apparently the cashiers are not trained well enough to have the basic customer service. So this afternoon, there was an Asian lady who didn't get her change back of the right amount, and the Spanish cashier (next to the self-checkout) gave her full nasty attitude and not even admitting it was her fault for not doing the basic math ( feel bad for someone with so little education like her). Anyhow, I came to help and she slammed the bills and rolled her eyes. This is the reason why these stores have lost customers. read more

Encountered the worst customer service from the self checkout staff. First, way too often the self check machine charges the wrong price. After patiently waiting for the self check staff to finish with another customer, I told her the price came up was incorrect and showed her the correct one on the Safeway app. Not sure if it's the language barrier, the Spanish cashier at the self-checkout mumbled a few unrecognizable words while she tried to type on the keyboard. After failing to fix the problem, she seemed irrita and suddenly walked away from me and began to collect shopping baskets and heading the opposite direction. I was left alone at the checkout without any help. Without knowing what to do next, I asked loudly "What would you want me to do? Where are you going?" She continued walking away and ignored me. She never came back. At this time, another female employee (fair skin, thin, dark hair, black frame glasses) standing 15ft away behind row of self check stations talking loudly at me not to yell at the staff. I was shocked by such accusations and her nasty tone and attitude. She simply doesn't understand the whole story. If this Safeway continues such "customer service", I'll switch store. Abandoning your customer half way through without an explanation, plus accusing customer before knowing what happened are simply wrong. read more

We usually stay close to Wolfe and El Camino Real during most of our trips to the Bay Area. This is the place where we buy milk and stuff. The most recent time, we purchased Milk & Water Bottles. Total came to $18.69 Pros: Close to the motels. Waking distance from Corporate Inn. Cons: Inconsistent. Sometimes they charge for bags, and sometimes they don't. Puzzling. Expensive. read more

I came here to buy flowers for my friend who just gave birth. After going to two other flower shops (one who had minimal flowers in stock and the other who was too busy to make me a bouquet at that moment) I "sucked it up" and went to Safeway. Right away the floral manager greeted me. She was so efficient walking me around showing me my options. None of the prearranged arrangements fit what I was looking for, so I ended up going around and pulling out a bunch of different flowers and the manager so kindly arrange them for me and a beautiful arrangement. She was also so conscientious knowledgeable and observant and noticed that there were some peppercorns in one of the bouquets I picked out and she notified me that they could cause allergies and gave me the option of including them or not. It's the small details that are truly appreciated. read more

I love this Safeway! The one at 150 El Camino is the worst but this one? Friendly, helpful people who go the extra mile for their customers. Their standard for customer care has shown itself to be consistently high! Kudos to management and their teams for raising the bar! :) read more

This is hands down my favorite Safeway to go to. I usually drop by for a quick lunch on my lunch break. Employees are super helpful and nice, and I'm usually in there for a short period of time and I'm out. Even when I need to pick up some ingredients, I can easily hit the check out line and I'm out within 10 minutes. I can always rely on this location if I need to take time trying to figure out what I need before heading to check out, and I won't ever have to wait too long for self check out or a cashier. read more

Wednesday 9/20/2023 @ 9AM - DISHONEST STORE MANAGER/SUPERVISOR, whatever you are!!! Yes, YOU, the tall Caucasian man with glasses who was in charge. What should've been a quick in-and-out trip of 4 items turned out to be a 40 minute ordeal. The family size bag of shredded cheese had a digital coupon tag of $5.89, and the family size pack of Oreos had a digital coupon tag of $3.49. As if it wasn't bad enough that stores have us create an account and enter our phone number to get the so-called "sale price" and now there's a digital coupon price. With the costs of inflation and a regular price of $10.99 for cheese but a digital coupon price for $5.87 I begrudgingly opened my app to scan the barcode. The app showed $7.49. What??!! Family size Oreos digital coupon was $3.49 but the app showed $4.61. WHAT??!!! I didn't have time for this annoyance. Took my items to the self-checkout. I didn't see the expected discounted price for the cheese and Oreos so a young Hispanic gal came to assist. She went to check the tags, came back and said, the price tags were wrong. I looked up and saw a Price Guarantee policy and said, what about that? You should honor the price on the tags. She said she couldn't do a price adjustment so she went to speak to, I'm assuming the store manager or supervisor. She took a while so I quickly left to take pictures of the price tags. When I returned, the tall guy with glasses asked what the problem was. I told him that I should get the advertised price. He said I couldn't because the tags are wrong. He said the price on the tags ended yesterday. I told him that wasn't right. He said, Actually the person that was supposed to change the tags didn't show up to work. I said, Well that's a staffing problem and regardless, the tags should have accurate pricing and it should be honored. I said, you are responsible for making sure the price tags are correct. He reiterated that he was NOT going to adjust the pricing for me. I pointed to the Price Guarantee sign and he said He could go change the tags then it wouldn't apply. WOW!!! I couldn't believe what I heard. I said, Go ahead, I already took pictures of the price tags. He said, Okay. I then said, GET OUT OF MY WAY!! I will pay for my groceries and call customer service to get the credit and he walked away. I couldn't believe he said he could just go change the tags. On my drive home, I called the 800 number that was on the price Guarantee board. Took about 25 minutes to file my complaint and get credited what could've been quickly and easily resolved in the store. He obviously knew the tags were inaccurate and instead of sending someone on the floor to update the tags, his LAZY behind did nothing about it and instead chose to deny me the price adjustment. I've been shopping here for the last 20 years and this is the first time EVER that I've bothered to ask for a price adjustment. I don't even bother at all with trying to get price adjustments and the day I did, this experience was just all WRONG. read more

If I could I would give this Safeway a ZERO!!! The cashiers working in the first two lanes next to self checkout and the store manager on Thursday evening at 8:30 PM were horrible humans!!! I get that the homeless population has exploded and more and more homeless are around now and days. However, everyone should be treated with decency. This did not happen for a younger looking gentlemen that came in with a Safeway gift card that was obviously given to him. Yes, the guy reeked of body oder and looked disheveled but he wasn't creating a scene and he waited his turn to buy his items. When the amount came up he gave the gift card and they swiped it like normal. However, this is where things take a turn for the ugly. The cards balance didn't cover the item so the guy asks to remove one item. The cashier could've voided the item and let him pay and go. Nope, the cashier called for a manager to void out the complete transaction and proceeded to ring the items up again and try to charge the gift card. By voiding the transaction it kills the card until the balance is loaded back on. This meant the guy was not able to get anything now. The guy didn't get upset but politely asked what can he do to get the items and this is where the cashier and manager start to talk down to him. They proceed to hand him the card and tell him to leave and that he can try the card later. As he walks off they begin to talk about him as if he is less than human. I had to ask the manager why the cashier did that as I know that is not the procedure as I was a 4th lead at Safeway back in the day. The manager said "he's homeless and wants alcohol" and shrugs it off. Yes, one of the items was a beer and the other was food. But that isn't the point and now they made him feel less than... In the end, I found the guy outside and walked him over to Marie Calendars and bought him a meal. Their ugliness was my chance to show that humanity is still alive. Do what's right and pay things forward.... read more

REALLY OPEN UNTIL 2AM. Unlike the one down the street at the old toys r us location. This one is legit

I stopped shopping here for a couple reasons. During Covid, I requested my Thanksgiving meal be delivered. It was, except for the turkey. Huh? They refused to "redeliver" it, forcing me to go to the store and make a stink. I got my turkey after much effort and finally talking to the manager. The following January, I went in and filled my cart with Superbowl stuff (frozen shrimp, chips, salsa, appetizers, etc.). While in line, the young customers were speaking with the check out clerk. It was clear they were friends. The three of them started putting down Americans and what they purchase/eat. This from looking at the Superbowl junk I don't normally buy! The checkout guy was an active part of the conversation. Seriously? That's representative of your customer service? Openly putting down your customers? That was it! I moved my business to the Safeway down at Maria (they are very nice there!). This week, I had to buy a birthday cake for a work mate and not having a lot of time, I was forced to go to this location, as it was the closest place to get a cake! I went in and spent 10 minutes hanging around the bakery department waiting for SOMEONE, ANYONE to show up because the cake I needed was in the display behind the counter. I then went to the charcuterie/olive department and even though there wasn't a customer in sight, the lady manning the department refused to page the bakery for me and instructed me to talk to the ladies at the front. So on I go to the front cashier ladies. I asked them to page and they did (quietly) as I was walking back to the stupid bakery. I than waited another five minutes for ANYONE to show up, got disgusted at how long this was taking, and grabbed a cake out of the fridge section (not the flavor that I wanted!). I called them on my way to the checkout and that guy could all of a sudden move from whatever empty department he was in and go to the bakery section! Too late, man! Where was that hustle when they paged! Oh, I forgot. There isn't any hustle at that store when it comes to helping customers! In my opinion, if the charcuterie lady had taken ANY initiative (cuz God knows she had nothing else going on), she could have paged or taken an interest and walked me to the front and made sure someone from bakery helped. Or the front ladies could have made sure this happened. There's no customer service awareness or effort at this store. I will never return. The little Safeway down the street is SO MUCH BETTER! Those people aren't so full of themselves that they won't help you. And I've never heard any of the Sh&t talk any of the customers. It's a nice, humble grocery store where you can get help. read more

Overall it's a pretty average Safeway. But the cashier Yatin is extremely rude imo. I didn't do anything wrong and he treated me terribly.

Hate to write negative reviews, but this location needs to step up to the plate & get with it. I stopped on my way home tonight to grab a couple things for my lunch for the rest of the week. It's 10:35 PM not too late but the self check outs are all closed & only one checker with a line about 10 deep. Why don't they have a second checker help? They have a bunch of people stocking. Every time I come to this location i am disappointed. From expired products & meat sitting on the self to the deli counter making the wrong sandwich to sketchy looking produce. The surrounding stores are in better shape & have better customer service don't waste your time here, drive the extra couple minutes. read more

Got another surly treatment at the Sunnyvale meat/seafood counter this afternoon. Woman who works that area Sunday noon does NOT want customer interruptions. Not super rude, just mildly rude, but it leaves you with a bad experience that you probably want to avoid. Happened a few times this year with that same person, and guy after me got the same treatment, so I will avoid weekends. Good store otherwise; I do most of my shopping there and generally happy with store and staff. 785 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA. read more

This safety is Hella bad and Hella racist. I shop there once every two weeks to buy groceries formula and sometimes alcohol. I know lotta the cashiers by name in the front desk by name but every time I seem to come in it seems like they have a problem when I'm asking for a rain check or I'm asking if they have a product. I have checked out alcohol many times before I am 30 years old African-American but this one time that I was looking to get alcohol Jimmy the night person in charge was totally racist and says that since I don't look over 21 I cannot use my ID I was so appalled please don't waste your money here read more

I recently went to this Safeway because Sergio is now there. Sergio is such wonderful, customer service forward, friendly and concientious person. This store is much larger, and I don't know where everything is now, but so far so good. Also of note, I took my friend into this Safeway so that she could buy flowers for her Mom. There was not a premade bunch that my friend wanted, however Marisol was working in the floral department and we walked through picking flowers so she could make us a custom bunch. They turned out beautifully. I think that they look better than the last flowers I got from a Florist. She eagerly helped us, with a great attitude and you can tell that she is both very talented with flowers and she enjoys it. If you want great customer service and great flowers, visit this Safeway and have Marisol make you an arrangement and Sergio check out your groceries. You will not be disappointed. I had shopped at the store on Bernardo since it's opening, but now that Sergio is gone, that store is a mess. The manager never leaves his office, his friend who replaced Sergio is rude and treats the other employees poorly including yelling at them in front of customers. No way that they are getting 1 more dollar of my money!!! read more
