Safeway

In this area of the city you pretty much have every grocery store as an option to choose from, I don’t consider Safeway my usual go-​to but there are a couple things that tend to draw me to this location. First thing I like about this Safeway over the other stores nearby is that it tends to be quieter, as you know it can be extremely frustrating to go grocery shopping when you’re constantly weaving your cart through people and avoiding collisions with other shoppers. This usually isn’t a problem at this Safeway. Secondly, there tends to be pretty good variety here, especially when it comes to some health food options which is surprising for a non-​specialty grocery store. Not only do they stock a decent selection of well known health foods, but they also carry their own healthier food line known as «Eating Right». This line is easy to spot with their signature green logo. Seriously pick up one of the Eating Right products next time you’re in and compare it to one of the regular brands, you might be surprised, I know I was!
Overall it’s a pretty conventional Safeway store. I would say it feels a big smaller and crammed compared to some of the other locations, but it still has all the items you’d expect and isn’t missing any of the major departments. Yup even a Starbucks. Prices tend to be a bit higher here compared to some of the other stores, I’d say pretty comparable to Co-​op though. The quality in the fresh goods is solid as you would expect from Safeway (Bakery, Deli, Meat, Produce and Seafood), the floral department is a pleasant surprise here as well. Staff are well trained, polite and professional, never had any issues.
To summarize, it’s worth checking out if you need a change from the norm, are interested in some healthier options or just don’t like crowds.

My trips to this particular Safeway have always been pleasant. There’s always parking available, they always carry the products I need, everything is well organized, there’s always someone who can assist you and I’ve never had to wait in line to checkout. This is the location I regularly visit for my weekly hoarding of food and I find it surprising that this location doesn’t get too busy even during weekends.

A nice and clean supermarket with all the usual stuff for such businesses. They have a good deli, a cheese bunker, pre-​made sushi and a pharmacy.

The butchers here will help you out. Good guys. I grab my meat here when im using the suaces from bansai. love it.

This is a nice Safeway location. When I shop with my two young children the staff are helpful and engaging to them. Produce, meat and dairy selections are all plentiful!
Avoid Sunday morning shopping as there is typically only one cashier on (the same one all the time) and she isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. She will make your checkout experience painfully slow.

With their recent rennovations I can see why Safeway groceries cost a little more. This location is very convenient and the staff are always friendly.
