The single star is not for the customer service let me tell you! Its just for the layout and architecture. In the early mornings between 5-6am is usually when I show up to buy food and coffee for work. Thats when the customer service is lacking! I went there the other day and went to the deli to find a salad to eat for lunch, could you believe that they put NOTHING out?! The whole thing was dang near empty so I was stuck with a old salad from God knows when that I didnt even want. I drive about 10 minutes out of my way from the freeway to get to this Safeway. Everyone in there is RUDE! No one tries to help you and when you call for assistance theyll have you standing there looking stupid for as long as they possibly can. I stood second in line to check out and it took almost 5 minutes for someone to come over and help us check out after ringing that stupid bell as loudly as we could!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theres like over 15 employees standing around in the store and it takes that long?? Give me a break! How annoying. Then they get an attitude because you rang the bell over and over. I know its early and all, but my government job is way more stressful than theirs, so they have no reason to act that way. Get it together Safeway and try helping those who get up that early just to come to your store or Ill just have to go 20 minutes out of my way for the Safeway in San Mateo which at this points has you BEAT!

This is a newish Safeway rebuilt with all the bells and whistles, including Starbucks. The store is all up on the second floor. The footprint of the larger rebuilt store meant they decided to build the store on top of the parking lot. A big plus when it rains. The selection and quality are good. The staff are nice. The prices are a little higher than some other local stores. You can take escalator or elevator up and back down with loaded carts. There is a deli and bakery. The meat department seems so small, including rhe custom butcher counter, and does not have as wide a selection as I would have expected. I swear there are more options for bread than meat. The wine and liquor are clearly popular, and the section is huge with a wide selection. The dairy section is tucked along the back wall. Produce is next to meat and has a decent selection. We went in evening so it wasnt crazy, but in the day this gets busy.

Big branch. Lots of parking space on the ground. Store is actually on 2nd floor. Bigger than the competitor in front of it. Prices are what you can expect from a Safeway store. Restroom is usually clean. Not far from the Starbucks nook. Many arm rest chairs for dining and just hanging out. You can grab a sandwich or sushi from the Deli place, then get your coffee from Starbucks and relax on one of the chairs while eating. After being here many times, only possible downside is there may be some smelly street people chilling out on these chairs. Not really a problem but good for you to know beforehand in case you are looking for a place where you can work on your laptop while drinking your coffee. No this is not like Barnes and Noble.

Tengo por costumbre ir a este supermercado porque puedo encontrar productos orgánicos ,pan siempre fresco , toda la mercancía está distribuida de tal forma que te sientes cómoda al seleccionar lo que necesites, además, tiene amplios estacionamientos y una salida de estar donde puedes sabirear un delicioso café mientras lees un periódico.

I like the store its clean not super busy but I gave it 2 stars because at the deli where the sandwiches are made you have this HORRIBLE girl shes so dumb. She asks the same question more than three times and takes a long time acts like she is brand new. Long by I mean there was one person ahead of me and she takes over 20minutes to make one breakfast burrito. Does not not know what she is doing. Very air headed. Im mean there is no problem with hiring someone like this but dont put her here where its busy. i always just end up leaving when she is there bc the few times I have waited even getting there early Im late for work.

We just moved here in January and since shopping here I have had 2 bad experiences. I bought some laundry detergent and when I got home the top of the lid was completely broken. I didnt notice until I got home and I have a 3 month old, so going back wasnt something I had time for. Another time I got some natural peanut butter out that I just recently purchased and it wouldnt stir. It all spongey and off colored, so I looked as it had expired in December. Gross. Not shopping here anymore.

Every time Ive been to this location over the years the customer service has yet to improve. Usually one person runs the whole check out line, while other employees are wondering around. At no other Safeway have I ever had such an issue. When you ask where items are, its as if its everyones first day there. I dont give out 1-stars, but this place is truly the worst. There is a trader joes across the street, and a luckys not too far away, I highly suggest you go there.

For the most part, this store is adequate, but I usually go here to get a sandwich from the deli counter. The sandwich counter is slow.. They always have a line that is longer than the deli itself, yet the store manager doesnt delegate enough resources to handle the volume of people wanting sandwiches. I almost always have to wait 10 - 15 minutes to get, and pay for my sandwich. Thats too long. On another note, the employees are nice.

Honestly, its a market! Rarely use the deli, seafood, butcher, or florist... So this rating is based purely on the ability to get in, grab what you need, and get out via self checkout. Pros: Continually stocked, Starbucks, Deli. Cons: Parking is used by other businesses in Downtown Millbrae and panhandlers have a nice place to sit right outside the front door.

Day have an open patio with tables for outdoor dining. Day have live corner planets filled with stagnant water with no drainage which means d allowance of mosquitos n flys to breed n lay eggs everywhere especially on food. Its January 2017 cold, damp, hot, wet weather that could change in a flash. I hope dis is fixed soon.

This is a really nice market. The cafe area is impressive, with a great Starbucks (better than the one across the street in both physical space and quality of beverages). It has free wifi, and lots of choices of things to eat! Also has an outdoor balcony seating area with tables and chairs.

Great store. was really happy with the deli, except for the manager bitching at her employees in front of everyone. How unprofessional. It was almost embarrassing to watch. She reminds me of FoodCo in the city! Get rid of her and I would give the store 4 stars.

This new style of safeway is amazing. Clean and well thought out. I hope they rebuild the chestnut one as well soon. The parking lot gets crazy sometimes try to exit near the Chevron station instead of the stoplightifyou can to avoid the crazy driving.
