Safeway

This is about Safeway at 424 Howe Avenue in Sacramento, CA 95825, store 190 Director: Ja Naya Royal.
I just love this place, always has a positive shopping experience. It's clean, well organized and convenient location for us. Stormy is the best forever. Naiiyahh is an awesome cashier, usually takes care of all the self-serve kiosks in the front. Naiiyahh is always friendly, resourceful, quick, efficient and pleasant to deal with.
I just want to thank these two store associates mentioned above, and thank the director of showing my husband and I how to "navigate" the Shop for U deals and digital coupons, it took us forever to "get" it, but we're getting the hang of it now and we love it.
Sincerely,
B N Nguyen

awesome but don't count on getting help in a timely matter when it comes to unlocking the safe sex box, I just waited a whole half hour + and just by chance someone helped me. Might want to plan an extra 30-40 mins extra if you're needing something like that.

Very helpful and the products I purchase are always in stock.

I managed to "lose" my keys in this store a couple days ago so I managed to sit in my car in front of this store overnight searching my entire car for my keys, and even checked with the manager working at that time before the store closed for the night, but my keys were still missing.

Thankfully, when I went in the store the next morning a cashier had found my keys right by the register, hidden under the little tray that change is released into at the end of a transaction, so my keys were safely being held at customer service for me and I got them back when I had pretty much given up hope of finding them and had thought I was going to have to spend a couple hundred dollars getting a new key made. So getting my "missing" key back was a relief and definitely brightened my mood for the rest of the day.

Love this place! Best produce! Better customer service! Naiiyahh and Tonya always takes such great care of us. Fantastic team!

Very nice and professional staff. Everyone is so helpful. The place is so clean and neat. I would recommend it for all your shopping needs and shopping experience. Got excellent meat as well.

My experience has always been unremarkable. They carry a large variety of foods to choose from. A deli and ready cooked foods, prepackage veggie packs, a bakery. I always find what I am looking for, They also have a pharmacy and a Quest lab, by appointment only. Safeway is my go to store because it's convenient, only a block away.

Typical Safeway some things overpriced however they also had products I havent seen other places like white chocolate raspberry hagen dahss bars mmmmm and also they are open until 2 am so that there makes it an extra star,
Update, still the second best Safeway in town because of the 2am closure time, also best flowers probably in the city unless you go to a florist which is market price and expected to be. Harmless transients out front are sometimes good for a 🤭 chuckle

Update: i love this Safeway. There is an employee here whos name I don't know but hes always there at night, has long hair white on the sides and glasses. Super helpful person. The best. Always there late at night and literally helps me find everything im looking for all the way to ots exact location, i wish he could get better recognition for always doing that. Anyway this Safeway is open until 2am and because its near a college hub has many unique sale things. Still my favorite Safeway because when you get off work at 12 they literally are a life saver that winco used to be in 2000 when the 24 hours sign wasnt an utter joke anyway i got off topic, update my review to five stars because of many reasons

They just need to put more than 1 person at customer service counter. They could also put a limit of transactions you could do at 1 time. I had to wait in line for over 20 minutes because an older lady was in front of me. She took her sweet time to get her card out of her wallet then her phone rang and she just forgot what she was doing. The cashier asked her to please put the phone away call them back. She proceeds to call them back while there is 12 people ate behind me waiting to get there money order's and other stuff. He finally got her to put the phone away. Then she took 15 minutes to get her money order's together then finally she was ready to pay for them. The cashier couldn't do nothing about it. He says that more people complain because it takes so long at the customer service line because people don't have consideration toward other's. This pandemic is making it harder for everyone and having to spend more time in a store than you want to is frustrating. I appreciate all the essential worker's for putting thier self at risk so we can still have a somewhat normal life. GOD BLESS MERRY CHRISTMAS

It’s a small , but a total good store!!!
Down home feeling.
Stocks all Safeway has to offer!!

Staff members are warm and friendly. Always greeted with Good morning. I love the chicken selection at the deli. Try the Mango Habanero and the Salt n Vinegar. Just waiting for the Applewood Bacon. They all are amazing.

It's good products

Open until 2am….cant beat that. Cameron (I hope that’s who it actually is - going by name on receipt) the cashier is very nice & efficient. If you are there at 1am-2am as you exit get ready for the few weirdos in the parking lot. Nobody goes for a bicycle ride in the grocery store parking lot at 2am…..unless…..you’re up to no good. You could be just drunk & having fun that’s easy to spot.

I like this Safeway. It’s always clean and I’ve never had to wait in line for over 3-4 minutes. The produce section is impeccable and I really love the assorted arrangement of flowers and balloons. It’s so cute 🥰

Secret stash of yesterday's baked goods in the back each day. Dozen donuts for $1.99.

The staff is so nice fast checkouts clean store!!!

Place was clean and well kept. Associates helped me find what I needed as soon as I came in the place. Just needed two things and took less than 5 minutes to finish.

Lines were fast and the cashierers were friendly. They helped packed the two items even though it was that little. Appreciated the service even how small it was.

Safeway is always a safe bet for grocery shopping. This particular store I’ve frequently visited since moving to the area in 2018. Rarely do they have long lines due to lack of cashiers, and the store is usually neatly stocked. I’ve only had one poor experience with an employee here when I asked if they had anymore of a sale item in stock and he threw a fit befitting off a 3yo, throwing things around and saying “LEMME CHECK IN BACK UGH” as he stormed off. I worked in retail for the first 6 years of my working life (1999 to 2005) and this was just a bad apple. Doesn’t detest from my 5 star review though since it was just a one time thing.

Went in to get something to drink could not find soda at first so I grabbed some juice drinks and some ice then I found the soda.but anyway I go to drink these fruit juice and they taste like a berry but then it tates like carrots and vegatables...yuk so I start reading the juice container and happen to see how much they cost and let's just say I'm never buying juice at Safeway any more I'll stick to the cheaper places with cheaper drinks with lots [f suger and no vegetables
