- MVMoubachir Silicon ValleyNov 16, 20255.0⭐️ Highly Recommend: Exceptional Service at Safeway Almaden Bakery! ⭐️ I had a truly fantastic experience recently at the Safeway Bakery in the Almaden neighborhood of San Jose. Not only were the baked goods fresh and delicious, but the customer service was absolutely outstanding. A huge thank you to Aleen, who was incredibly helpful and nice. She went above and beyond to assist me with my request, offering suggestions and making the entire process a pleasure. It's employees like Aleen who elevate a standard grocery run into a genuinely great experience. Her positive attitude and willingness to help made a huge difference! If you're in the area and need anything from the bakery—whether it's a custom cake, fresh bread, or a simple pastry—I highly recommend stopping by. You can count on great products and, if you're lucky, the excellent service of Aleen!
- LGLindsey GilbertNov 2, 20255.0This Safeway is massive—one of the biggest I’ve been to—and it always feels fresh and well cared for. The shelves were completely restocked during my visit, which made the whole shopping experience smooth and visually satisfying. Everything was easy to find, clean, and organized, which honestly makes grocery shopping a lot more enjoyable. I also really appreciate how they handle the carts here. In addition to the outdoor cart storage, they bring a huge number of carts inside—so you’re never wandering the parking lot trying to chase one down or waiting for someone to unload theirs. Such a small touch, but it makes a big difference and you don’t see that often anymore. During my visit, I accidentally knocked over one of the flower display cans and spilled water everywhere. The cashier couldn’t have been kinder—handed me paper towels while still helping another customer and quickly called someone over to assist. I felt terrible, but they were so polite and professional about it. Between the friendly staff, organized layout, and thoughtful touches like the indoor carts, this location stands out. Definitely one of my favorite Safeway stores to shop at in the area.

- DED EOct 5, 20253.0I was in shopping at 8:30 Sunday night and the male employee on register 5 has worked there for a long time but has never been friendly. I usually see him working in the dairy section and only works register when someone needs a break or backup. He never says "hi, how are you?" to anyone, nor strikes up a conversation like any of the other employees, nor does he ask you if you were able to find everything okay. He also doesn't tell you what your total is. Almost all of the other employees are extremely friendly, talkative, and are willing to help you. I'm really surprised this male employee has worked here as long as he has. I never see him with a name badge either. If he does have it on his apron is covering it. Why???? He also needs to learn how to bag. I told him not too heavy for me as I have a bad back and neck. I had to take a couple extra bags and lighten them myself. He also put my bleach tablets in with my fresh produce. Whenever he is on register I try to avoid his line but that was the only one open.
