very very slow check out, we bought groceries, there are faster and cheaper vendors, wont be back

Very interesting Target. Right by the Walnut Creek BART station, and it has both a parking lot and underground parking under the store. That having been said, I've heard they are very strict in enforcing parking since they are so close to BART, so I wouldn't try getting free parking over here if that's what you had in mind. Placed an online order at 2:20 pm on a Thursday afternoon, and received a text showing it was ready for pickup at 2:40 pm, well ahead of the 2 hour limit per Target.com. Customer service and online pickup is right by the front entrance (not set back like at some other Target locations), and I didn't have to wait at all to start talking with someone. One side note, as others have said, online inventory estimates can be off. Certainly this location, like just about every other store in the country, seems to be out of facemasks because of the coronavirus outbreak. Will definitely have to keep checking back. read more

Target - Police bait car may be in parking lot - Department Stores Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

"Look at this stuff Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collections complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl The girl who has everything?" Target is my happy place! I came in here today needing absolutely nothing. I just tagged along on my sisters errands. Well an hour and 60+ bucks later I left with things I "needed" I mean who could pass up a shirt with plants on it?? Also the mustard powder was absolutely necessary for that one dish I make sometimes. Plus you can't forget that can of Poppi probiotic soda that I was going to drink that it now sitting in my fridge among other drinks for later. But it absolutely was all necessary. read more

Since I was early meeting a friend in the area, I decided to check out this Target. It's a stand-alone store that take up the entire square block located at the corner of N. Main and Ygnacio Valley. Driving into the lot, there's construction as the store is expanding so there is limited parking on the street level. A section of the lot is devoted to drive-up pick-up orders. I could see worker wheel out carts with orders. You continue past the store entrance and the ramp takes you to the large underground parking lot. It's nice for your car to be in the shade on a hot day. You take the escalator up to the store. This is a very nice store with wide spacious aisles. It is well stocked compared to Target's that I've shopped. Will need to stop by if I'm in the area again. read more

I recently ordered 10 cans of Del Monte corn, 10 cans of Del Monte sweet peas, and 5 Libby's cans of pumpkin puree from Target. Out of the total 25 cans, only 3 cans are marginally OK. 22 cans are substantially damaged, dented, and crushed. When a can is damaged, the inner lining is broken and the food quality is compromised. Looks like the products were handled and transported negligently, violently, and maliciously. Target, not Del Monte and Libby's, is responsible for this mess. Target delivered a replacement of the 22 cans to me, but again virtually ALL 22 replaced cans are just as damaged as the 22 cans before them. There is no point in asking Target to send me more replacement cans. They will be just as damaged as all the ones before them. What a joke. Now I have to decide whether to keep the damaged cans or donate them all to charity. I will never order from Target again. It is horrible and a waste of time and money. If Yelp allows me to rate 0 star, I would. read more

I have visited this location a few times. And honestly, based on my visits, I can believe that this location is much nicer than the one in Antioch. Although, I probably wouldn't drive half an hour to here to get what I needed; I could if I want. Anywho, we were in the area on Nov. 24, 2023, and it was Black Friday, so we decided to stop in and see what kind of deals they had. And honestly, I was a bit disappointed. The sales that I have been seeing said "30% off", which isn't much of a deal. I was in the need for pajama pants and some socks so I picked them up. I scanned them, and they were on sale. I also bought some accessories for my new phone, and I was pretty disappointed with the fact that they weren't on sale. While we were checking out, I decided to use my Target Circle rewards (like I do usually), and the person who checked me out suggested I spend a certain amount to get the discount. I didn't get their name, but the way they explained it to me was very helpful. And everything went through without any issues. Would I come to this Target again? If I am in the area again, maybe I may check it out. Since the Pittsburg Target closed down, I have mostly been going to the one in Antioch and this Target is out of my reach. I like how there is a parking garage underneath, which is nice especially in a place where parking is AWFUL. read more

On Sunday Oct 15th I bought a Fitbit at Target. My sales attendant Lola Espanol was so helpful. She stayed by my side until my Fitbit was set up and running!!

I am hoping that Parker from Target in Walnut Creek will see this post. I am writing this to say much thanks to this young man for his dedication and outstanding service. My Granddaughter found a jumpsuit on the Store website except it was sold out in almost every store in the BayArea except for two, Walnut Creek and San Jose. The online inventory showed 3 in-store. No Pickup, No Delivery. My Granddaughter wrote asking my wife and I if one of us can help her pick one size L for her. You see she lives in Palo Alto and we live in Danville. When I so the on hand inventory, I rushed to the store. I looked for about 30 minutes before I asked Parker, the young man working near the that section for help. Parker went through all the places the dress maybe hanging with no luck. He looked up his handheld inventory device but found 0 inventory. He looked up other stores inventories and they were old sold out. He was determined to help this grandpa not disappoint. As I was about to leave, he asked me wait while he ran upstairs to look. 5 minutes later he came back with the only one left in the store. I have been a manager in senior positions for over 40 years. I retired 5 years ago. I must say, this ranks among the top three best customer service I have ever seen. Way to go Parker. Hope your Boss sees this and celebrate having you on his/her Team. read more

The drive through pick up option is fantastic! Just place your order and select the pick up at store option. When your order is ready, go into the app to let them know you're on your way. When you get there the app automatically knows you're there and a number pops up on your phone and you show it to the Target rep through your car window. They confirm it, and hand you your item or load into your trunk. So easy! Target has this completely dialed in, down to the drive up lane in the parking lot. Very cool! read more

I'll never shop at Target again. Kowtowing to a political ideology is beyond the pale. I've already found my usual Target purchases elsewhere; either directly from the company (Naturium, Harry's, etc), or other stores for significant less money than Target. Bumbye! read more

This is the Target I most frequent. Store is clean and organized. Parking is abundant and I always end up finding more things that I actually come in for (a true statement for most Target shoppers? lol). Minus one star for inconsistent customer service. Sometimes they are friendly and sometimes they are snappy. Also saw a couple of staff members stocking the shelves with their masks pulled down and exposing their noses, which defeats the purpose. read more

This is mostly for the Order Pick Up Placed a pickup order. Got a notification that my order was ready so I head over there. I wait at the front desk, I must have seen 7 employees walk past me. No acknowledgement, no "someone will be right with you". When someone finally did help me, my full order wasn't ready after all. She had to go pick up my items in store. With the amount of time I waited, I could have just got through the store myself and picked up my items. I just wanted to be in and out, since I stopped by on my lunch. read more

Super clean target. Very organized and all the team members were incredibly helpful. Definitely one of the nicer targets we have been to.

Today I had a difficult return and Liz and Karr were extremely patient and helpful. Thank you to them for making it painless.

This is a review of Targets 'drive-up' service: Today my wife and I ordered a number of items for drive-up at 12:36, received confirmation it was ready for pickup at 1:41, and arrived & notified Target via the app at 2:30. Upon arrival we were told that the order was not ready yet, despite showing through the email and app that the order was ready. We were told to wait, so we did. FOR AN HOUR. After finally getting fed up and walking up directly to the tent, it turns out the order was sitting at the tent the whole time!! Target really shouldn't offer a service they can't properly run. I'd rather use Amazon deliveries at this point so an ETA is more reliable. read more

Walnut Creek location is nice. It has a parking garage attach to the building including street parking. Inside of the building is clean and detail. They keep their store clean and updated. I didn't see their floors destroy and their restroom is clean. I enjoy walking around Target. I was able to find batteries without asking for assistance. I even got Starbucks inside and enjoy my walk drinking...nothing spilled on the floor. This location is across from the Walnut Creek Farmers Market. My suggestion is not to park at their lot if you want to go to the farmers market. read more

I love me some Target (so many cute things and super deals!) but I am not a fan of the remodel that was completed in recent months. It's like you have to go in circles to find a specific item. Why can't I find the body wash anymore? Where did it go? There's no more quick Target runs because I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Clever marketing to make customers shop every inch of the store. My usual 25 minute shopping trip is now an hour. Yes, Target can be therapeutic to leisurely stroll up and down the aisles if you don't have any time constraints. But when I'm out running errands I like to be in and out. Done. You know how sometimes you need to see something in person before purchasing? For example, clothing. Sometimes you can't tell the texture of say a sweater without actually feeling it. Is it soft? Is it scratchy? Will it pill after a few wears? You can't really tell online. So that's why I like to go to the actual Target store. But with this new design layout, I will take my chances and continue to shop online and only come in if I have a return. I do like the grocery section of Target. Wider aisles and expansive. Most pantry items (i.e. cereal, pasta) are less expensive than at an actual grocery store! However, if you have a Target REDcard, you can shop online and get free 2-day shipping as well as receive the 5% discount. That sure beats driving to the store, finding parking and putting more items in your cart than what's on your shopping list. I guess I can say thank you for saving me time and money. I will continue to shop online unless I'm in the mood for that leisurely stroll. read more

Ever since they started "remodeling" this target has become a disaster. It's never clean. The way they have it all set up makes NO sense. They have all these little pop ups of items in the middle o the isles that causes so much congestion in the isles! You can't get around anyone. They take awful care of their produce area. I find fruit with mold on it and coffee that expired a month ago still in the fridge area.... read more

Target - Finally got an empty photo of the stupid layout of all these isles. People cannot was through this... - Department Stores Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This is near work so I come here sometimes. I like the underground parking lot, it's the easiest to get in and out of and very convenient. They remodeled this Target during Covid so now all the aisles are very small. I've sent photos a couple times this Target to be printed and it was a complete hassle every time. I do not recommend using this Target for photos. The absolute worst run photo department you could possible imagine. The Starbucks always has one person. I went there for the first and last time the other day. There was no one behind the counter. Finally after a couple minutes a young lady comes out - she's tiny and quiet and I can't understand her. I finally get her to get what I want and a line starts forming behind me. The girl takes forever. There are six people in the line and everyone is furious. Some leave. The girl is still working on my order and taking her time and ignoring the line. Just a terrible service and a Starbucks run by one person - I do not get it. The Target here has VERY loud music playing. it's club music too. I feel like I'm supposed to be picking up on someone when I'm here because this is not normal store music and it's ridiculously loud. No one wants this. I get having music playing. But not this music. And not this loud. Why why why? It's hard to be in this place. Some of the cashiers are fine but some are absolute rude as hell. There is one older lady I refuse to ever get her line again. I put all my stuff in the basket and put it on the counter one time beacuse I see other people doing that (rather than take it out of the basket and put it on the counter). So what does this twat do? She just empties my basket on the counter like a child. I've got bottled stuff in there and this idiot is trying to make a point about not putting a basket on the counter. As unprofessional as you can be. Anotehr reason why I do not want to come to this place. Your best bet here is the self serve line as the regular lines are always long. Also if you're looking for something and the website says it's in stock - it's not. I've never seen a store that lied about what's in stock and not in stock than this store. Another thing to avoid. Sadly, the manager will read this review and guess what? Doesn't give two sh!ts. read more

So.....it's been a few months since my last review. And I'm going to say that the majority of staff workers are great. 99% of the self-check cashier checkers/workers have been trained better. A lot of improvement with their energy and how they handle things. But I encountered that same Filipina lady (Jury or Juvy is the name) that harassed me before. And I don't know what it is but she definitely hates her job and has a desire to take it out on customers. Specifically me today. Again. I wondered what I could have done to her but I walked through this and realized I did nothing wrong. Some people are just mad and feel as if they are justified in taking it out on others. And I guess this lady did that. And sadly it's the same elderly Filipina lady that harassed me before unjustified. At least this time I got her name: Juvy or Jury. Honestly I was upset after this and it might have autocorrected . I just wanted to get out of there after this incident. Anyway. I held up my phone to scan my order and she decided she was in a bad mood. She glared at me and rolled her eyes, and snapped at me irritated saying "Common sense to flip the phone". I was just....surprised. I meant no trouble. It was rude, just mean. And felt like she was too harsh for how she talked to me. I said that I didn't deserve that, and was just holding up my phone without malice. To which she replied "Well it's been a busy day so..." Which is the same justification she used 3 months ago. I get it, customer service can be rough. But I didn't do anything or raise my voice or anything. This is at 950pm on a Friday night. I don't have any energy for that. Who does? I said to her that her actions doesn't justify her behavior. And she loved that. She proceeded to mutter comments about me under her breath, enough to hear fragments of what she says. Yelp won't let me post it, that's how bad it was. Again i know how this sounds but this was really happening. And then she starts laughing at me and rolling her eyes and shaking her head. Yep. On top of all this, she keeps going. I'm just standing there wondering how this is real. I asked (foolishly) why she was laughing and she snapped at me quickly and said "I'm just laughing to myself." At this point, I say I just want to be able to check out. And if she can't be professional then to get someone who can. To which she says I can't leave without being checked. Not what I asked or requested. At all. At this point, I just tell her to get a supervisor. I see her go get one and I see Lorenzo the supervisor smirking as she talks to him. I won't assume but also....seriously? He's a kid, so I can at least try to understand he's young and maybe immature still? He comes up to me and just says I can call guest service number. And that he'd just have to talk to her again despite that. And that was it. Meanwhile she stays behind him working without anyone pretending to handle her or write her up or anything. Really unprofessional and disappointing, and just embarrassing. I know how this must sound but we've all experienced bullies or people that get away with their bad behavior. And I don't wish this on anyone else. One time to be treated this way was hard enough. But it seems like she was never reprimanded before. And doesn't seem like she will be this time either. I hope someone higher up (Manager or corporate ) sees this and removes her from her job at Target. That sounds harsh , I know, but don't work in customer service if you can't be a decent human. Or fake it even. How she's allowed to continue working here after already doing this (harassment) baffles me. Pretty sure it's not allowed by their HR standards. Disappointed and embarrassed. read more

I like to go to Target when I want specific yet Ordinary things. My most recent trip was for make-up sponges for application of of foundation, and throat losenges. Most items are are easy to find. I got in and out of the store quickly. Employees on the floor always know the location of what you want. So if you can't find something, ask an employee for help. I once asked for a map of the store at the returns desk, and by-golly, there was one. They don't Move their merchandise around much. So once you are familiar with the store, you will be all set to go to the location immediately. read more

Shout to Matthew in Customer Service! I came in one night with about 150 returns for my boss. Matthew scanned every return and told me which items were eligible for return and which were not.

I love this Target. I like parking in the covered parking and keeping my car nice and cool. The Starbucks is great here. The baristas work really fast and you don't have to wait forever for your order. The dollar section always has something great and is very organized and tidy. read more

Oh Target where would we be without you? We're locals and visit this Target at least twice a week! This Target has improved greatly from years past and has everything you need - grocery, health products, home goods, electronics, books, you name it! They're open til midnight every day except for Sun when they close at 11pm; so if you're in a pinch and you need something last minute Target will be open and have what you need!

One of the better and more cleaner Target locations. As this place is smack dab in probably Walnut Creek's #1 major road artery, Ygnacio Valley Rd and Main St. Highlights: ~ Underground garage: Entering and parking above ground can be a nuisance, but you do have the "car cooling" option of parking under Target itself. A safe choice to stay out of the sun, or during stormy weather. ~ Cool college t-shirts: If I'm in the mood for a cheap $10 - $18 shirt, I'll usually find one here. Or a nerdy Millennium Falcon shirt. ~ You can utilize their parking lot during the Contra Costa (WC) Farmer's Market along Locust St. between Lacassie and Cole Ave. In the spring and summer of course. ~ Fully stocked with every processed food I can get my hands on. I'd say about thirty percent of their items are gear towards healthy eating. The rest is typical. ~ Holiday themes: How do you not love their seasonal holiday items? You'll usually find something new, with a response of "Hey, I never seen that before. Pretty cool!" It's a typical busy Target with a Starbucks. Convenient. read more

I do a run-through of this Target a couple times a week. Decent clearance throughout the store, and they've got everything you'd ever need. The prices aren't the best on a lot of things, but it's way better coming here than driving out to WalMart in Martinez. +1 for being close to home! 4 stars for always having plenty of checkers to get us out of there ASAP, and for underground garage parking that makes it way easier to get a spot! read more

I don't usually walk into target and shop because I don't like the parking availability and I end up spending much more than I had anticipated. So much good stuff! What I do love about this target, is their Pick-Up/Return Area, and their Drive Up option. When I return items I purchased online but end up not liking, I can walk in the store, return the item, and walk out in just a few minutes. Also, anytime I order an item online for in-store pickup, it's usually available within an hour or less. This is extremely helpful and it's one of the reasons why I've made Target my main place to shop for household items! I recently tried Drive Up and it is even more convenient. You can order items through the Target app, and it will give you the option to park in one of the designated Drive Up spots in the parking lot. Once you note in the app that you're waiting, someone quickly brings your order out to you! This means no hunting for parking, which is a big win for this location. My only complain for Drive Up is sometimes you don't get as good of deals as if you were to walk inside and pick up. Overall, I love the service at this Target! read more

This Target stays relatively clean (although you can't exactly trust my perspective since I go there at 8 in the morning) and the staff are pretty friendly. Filled to the brim with all of the knicks and knacks you never knew you needed (mostly because you don't) and the necessities you'll probably forget after spending too much in that useless and totally inviting dollar aisle near the entrance. Produce isn't much to brag about but you really shouldn't be going to Target for groceries anyway. Stick to $1 Hello Kitty socks and plastic mason jar cups with built-in straws girl. read more

A nice target that carries almost all the basics needs you could ask for..I love targets they are one of my favorites store to do shopping in. I sometimes just go there just to see if any new kinds of products are out . They have Plenty of house hold items , with a pretty large clearance section .. I love there movie selections area . I have added many blue rays to my collection . They have a nice movie sale right now 4.75 for a lot of different films.. Definitely a fun store to just stroll threw to see what you can find !! I come here at least once a week lol. but it nice going latter when its not so busy and you don't have to wait in long lines. Looks like this week they are doing killer movie sales!!! read more

I go back and forth with this target. The pharmacy is great and a lot of the staff are great, but since the pandemic there are also days that service is pretty off. Drive up service was really amazing the first several months they had it but timing has gone up significantly, quality of service has gone down, and often times a few items are not not found that really were in stock (and if you go in after driving up for your order you will find them). Probably will stick to parking and going in more often. But in terms of self shopping, they have a lot of the items and stock has been pretty good throughout the pandemic, if it's not toilet paper or paper towels which even then hasn't been that often. Recommend self check out (unless you're buying alcohol). There are several times I have waited in up to 3 lines because they decided to close long lines and not tell anyone in the line that the lane is closed and to go to other lines. read more
