UPDATE: It would appear that this store is making some changes. Looks like they have new managers. Service is still slow but they are working on it. I noticed "Now hiring" signs at the register and on the doors. Excellent produce & bakery departments. Slower than slow getting through the checkouts because they will have a packed out store and 2 lanes open. This is the closest large grocery to us. I try to only go in the mornings because the night manager is not helpful and very rude. She once belched loudly in my husbands face. He laughed it off at the time because it was so incredulous. Tonight, my husband left his tablet in the cart when we checked out. We were almost home when we noticed it missing. He called the store and told her exactly where we left the cart and could she please go look. She told him "I am sorry I cant help you". We turned around and hurried back to the store. My husband ran in and she met him in the front and told him "I dont know what to tell you, I dont know where it is" My husband started asking other people who worked there if they had moved the cart or seen his tablet. I came in a few minutes later and walked right to where I left the cart in front of the register. Fortunately the cart and his tablet were still there. The night manager was absolutely no help because she simply did not care.

They have a good selection, but the cashiers need more experience (had one who didnt know what a green onion was). I know its not the employees fault, but they really need to have more checkers. When busy, youll spend over 30 minutes just in line. My grandma is on oxygen, and I took her to Safeway. I had to run back to her house because she ran out of oxygen, just by being in the checkout line. Prices are a little up there, but thats just how it is in Leavenworth. Otherwise, clean, and has most things you need. If you need something late after Dans is closed, its another option.

The bakery had everything out hot and fresh in the morning. I was able to quickly get in and get out with my groceries. I could see when the town swells 10k+ in people over the weekends that things may get hectic, but you cant hire staff to just come in on the weekends and then keep em busy during the week when its mainly locals shopping in a small mountain town.

Big store has most of what one would need. The exception being a swift check out experience. Please staff more checkers or be more proactive in assigning checking duties. There are no real grocery alternatives in the immediate area but I wish there were.

Just like any normal safeway, people are friendly and they offer great produce and products of all kinds the only thing is that when they are busy they tend to not have enough lanes open but honestly who has been to a store where this Is not a problem?

There are never enough cashiers. If it werent for that, I would rate much higher. Every time I come here, I have to wait 20 to 30 mintutes at the checkout. Frustrating that they wont increase staff to improve the customer experience.

The checkout line was incredibly long. There were only 2 registers open. No one was calling additional cashiers. The manager appeared to be wandering around and did not seem to care that the line was 20 mins long. Totally rediculous!

I live in Kentucky and had bad experience with another florist in the area that ended up not being able to deliver my order and Safeway florist save the day and was very nice! I will recommend them all the way from Kentucky!!

Its like every other Safeway - long lines due to corporate restrictions on hours while theyre trying to meet corporate rules on how long the lines can be (4 customers, iirc) and the impossible challenge of balancing the two.

Has all the standard things a large grocery store has, as well as a variety of baked goods and premade food. I really liked the power-bar bagels that they made, ive never seen them before but they were very tasty.

This Safeway seems fairly busy year round and depending on the mood of the local tourists, may be out of an item if everyone else has the same idea that day. Ex. Ben and Jerrys ice cream in the summer

Shannon Samia

Always waiting in line at the register...always about 5 people deep. SLOW!! When needing to run in for one quick ingredient - well good luck! Youll be outta there in about 40 mins! Every damn time!

We want to the deli to order a sandwich and it took over 30 mins for 2 breakfast sandwiches and a grilled cheese. The elderly lady was extremely rude. Wont be visiting this Safeway location again.

Chris Haunton

Expensive...especially the food made in house....registers are incredibly slow....staff is friendly and very helpful which is why I gave it three star....also their wine selection is amazing

Kristian

The place was decent like any other Safeway. We went around 7 Friday evening. The place was packed checkout lines people work 15 to 20 people deep in the aisles and only three checkers

Kevin Raines

Staff are friendly, and the shelves are well-stocked. The seating area near Starbucks is comfortable. However, theres usually a pretty long wait to check out, at least during the day.

I was visiting from out of town, camping at the koa and need a couple things. Quick stop. They seemed busy only one register open but they opened another register and were very nice

Prices are generally the cheapest in town but you are still paying vacation destination prices. This is a fine Safeway but if youre doing real grocery shopping, go to Wenatchee.

Convenient for getting stuff you need when you are in Leavenworth! Is well stocked. Has a Starbucks and also the views of the mountains as you walk out are breath taking!!!

Claire Taylor

This Safeway is pretty nice. Prices a little higher than in more "major" areas, but all things considered, its a great store to get groceries if youre in the area.

Kuba Bednarek

Great choice for leavenworth. Typical of other safeway in the chain. I prefer Dans for groceries in town but still frequent safeway for certain things.

Jose Raul

Very expensive place, in my personal experience the staff was very rude. I believe they have business because this is the only big retail in town.

Marci Olmstead

Never near enough checkers! Always a wait! Horrible! Having to wait a half hour or more to check out in evenings or anytime on weekend is normal.

This Safeway has a good selection of gluten free items. Friendly staff and feels like the Safeway I grew up shopping at. Gas station on site.

Sharon Draffin

I usually do my own cooking when I stay in Leavenworth and this is the only large grocery store in the area. I can get whatever I need here.

Peggy Schuetz

Packed with people, lines, lines, lines at the check out, and not terribly friendly clerk, but, possibly due to the crazy amount of people.

Janet Harden

its a Safeway, what mores to tell. They are clean, had fresh food at the deli, not the food that has been sitting for a while.
