- ESEmily Swager5 days ago4.0It's a nice little grocery store, I can't complain for being the neighborhood one. It's clean, there's 4 self-checkout stand (kind of a small area and people love to block the way), plenty of food and there's a little hot food area. The produce quality can be hit or miss sometimes but most times, it's decent. The parking isn't too bad, I've never had trouble finding a spot. I go here all the time and I haven't had a bad experience yet.
- XDXenixis DalmanDec 17, 20251.0There's this employee who stands next to the self checkout stands and hovers over everyone, and basically forces you to rate the store a 10 on the card reader survey. It's EVERY TIME, I try to avoid, she makes the shopping experience uncomfortable.
- JDJoshua DalmanDec 17, 20251.0The self checkout workers are weird. She'll get way too close to you, sometimes even touching the card reader, and obligate you to give the store 10 when it's asking for a survey.
- MFMariama FasulukuDec 10, 20251.0The worst safeway to do grocery ,i usually go to the howe safeway instead of arden when i have my Doc aopointment.

- LALence ApmingDec 10, 20255.0I run a small office and often stock up at Safeway for snacks and drinks for the telam. On my last trip, I bought bulk water, chips, and fruit. Everything was fresh, neatly pcked, and fairly priced. The staff helped me load the car, and the quality and service make the value unbeatable for business needs.
