One of my favorite go to Safeways. It’s just simply beautiful and amazing. Safeway is and always will be my favorite grocery store. Also the employees are simply so sweet and kind it makes me want to cry 😢♥️😭😂

This Safeway is laid out like a Costco so you have to walk through the entire store to get a three item shopping list, combined with one of, if not the most miserable grocery store parking lot in the county, I always try to shop elsewhere.

Never coming back.Scanned things ring up wrong, prices on the app never work after clipping and moving over to cart or whatever. It seems like meat is always just on the verge of expiring and only lasts a day in my fridge, I've had to return meat so many times to this place. Gave them my business one last time tonight but sadly... never again...

Good hot & cold case, good Chinese. I like using the app & finding better deals than avail in the store, clip my coupons & then shop🙂 Today found a cute stuffed animal that unzips with a super soft blanket in it for our little one. She loves it! We love the specialty grapes🤤 self ck outs move fast, friendly staff.

The older woman making the deli sandwiches...her name was Marie or Maria...was extremely rude and unprofessional to my mother & I. She saw we were standing there waiting to be helped and completely ignored us, had us waiting there for 15 minutes while she hid & talked to other staff behind the counters, making eye contact every now and then so she was blatantly ignoring us. When she finally helped us she yelled at us, threw all the ingredients together messily, and SQUISHED our sandwiches down over and over again after wrapping them up. Who does that?? We asked why she was treating us so badly and she started yelling like a crazy person and we had to walk away. Terrible terrible person :/

It's a pretty good Safeway. It's clean and the parking isn't bad. If you look at the Flyers and sign up for their card you can download their deals to your phone. I'm most the only go there for the $5 Friday specials.

This is the best Safeway I have ever been to, and it has replaced Raley's as my primary grocery store. The reason why this Safeway is so much better than average is because the Safeway company wisely retained many of the beloved attributes that made G&G special. The family-owned store previously at that location. Try the Chinese food. You'll know what I'm talking about 😉

What can I say. I shop at the Safeway in Santa Rosa on college avenue. It is okay. It is clean and well cared for. I don’t think it is the best at any particular thing. Over the last year I have noticed a slow decline in the number of premium products in the dairy area. In general you get a good value and a wide variety of products to choose from. I am not a fan of the self check out. The parking lot layout is pretty bad.

We call this place " GWay" in honor of G&G.Great deli, but I miss the old G...*sigh*...I guess the more things change, the more they change.Anyhoo, is still like a combination of GWay and Safeway which I think is pretty cool, but just please open 24 hours. Thank You.

The Safeway on College Avenue cannot be beat with its variety of products. It is unique in the Safeway chain of stores with its array of products that are in the tradition of the Gong family. The staff is very friendly, the hot Chinese food is excellent, the bouquets of flowers are beautiful, and the deli has great sandwiches with quality meats that have always been at this location for years. Come here to get the exact type of product you are looking for.

Changes recently made in the checkout process make it very difficult to tell if you are being charged the correct amount for sale and coupon items. We have to stand in the store and carefully review the receipt to verify. Feels dishonest, hoping you won't catch them charging too much for items.

Prices at checkout constantly do not match prices on shelf. You should be checking your receipt if you shop here.

The only disappointment on my last visit was that there wasn't enough fresh fruit and veggies on hand and a lot was either spoiled or on the verge of spoiling like the tomatoes, celery, and cucumbers, head of lettuce to name a few.

The most sublime Safeway ever. It's huge and has almost everything. Try the Chinese food and the bulk bins. The Latino and Asia selection is great 👍😃

The mobile cart does not reach the parking lot, this left me stranded too far from my car. I didn't bring my walker because I was using the cart. If you've injured yourself; pick a different store. Ridiculous!

A very clean place, and different than the other safeways, with an included Starbucks now open!

It is just a habit to go to Safeway for my groceries but the produce is sub-par and the prices are out of control these days. It is only sometimes worth it if you get the app and add every coupon and deal available and be sure to use your rewards points on grocery freebies instead of fuel at the gas station.

That had what I needed and the check out was quick.

Well organized store with attractive displays and good variety. Can be a bit pricey on many items and lines were quite long.update: self checkout seems to be a quick option and lines are definitely shorter now. Sometimes it is very difficult to find desired items and store assistance is hard to locate.

As Safeway Stores go, this is about as good as they get. Of course, that's probably because it started out as a privately run local grocery store.The store was remodeled a few years ago under the previous ownership and it still shows. The aisles are large. The lighting is great. The produce department is immense and well kept. The parking lot is clean but could use better lighting.The store was once known for its butcher shop-like meat department as well as its deli that included very authentic Chinese food options. Although these areas have slipped a bit since the sale, they are still great.The customer service was and still is exceptional. Employees treat customers as guests.There is a second Safeway store not far from this location but the parking here is better and the store experience is 100% better.

It’s still G&G. I went up on the hill and got the Krab salad at Lucky and almost threw up. Don’t bother with the competition. This is the ONLY place in town to get GG Krab Salad. They still have all the G&G stuff and they’ve been Safeway for a long time. I drive across town to shop at this one. Still the best supermarket in town.

I recently moved my business to w college and began frequenting this store. I want to give this store and their crew a huge congrats on how AMAZING this store looked on Thanksgiving week. Shelves were fully stocked and front faced, very clean, help available and even management walking the floor to help. I was impressed! I grew up a Safeway kid my dad was a manager forever, I worked at Safeway for over a decade and kudos to you all I understand the hard work it takes, you never know how the load is going to arrive, shorts firm outs etc and this store has it down. Thanks everyone for an easy shopping trip!

Very large store with dedicated deli, fried chicken, and Chinese take out counters. Good selection on everything. Store was not too crowded when we shopped, but there were no carts available. Also not sure why the store was decorated for Christmas in September.

I have not been in this particular Safeway in quite some time. I was shocked to see how completely transformed it is. It even has a wine bar in there so you can taste wines before purchase (I don't drink, but when my sister visited almost a decade ago she was tickled to see a wine bar in Whole Foods).I used to prefer Safeway on Mendocino, but after I found myself being followed around a little too often by the store's manager, and the newest pharmacist being unhelpful I dropped them like a bad habit.

Fairly good deli, quality produce and meats.With the my rewards program you can find great deals. And most products are moderately priced.

Very easy store to navigate through and find what one is looking for. I was surprisingly happy with the customer service of this store, due to dealing with my local store or in Guerneville, and all the absolutely astonishingly rude, vial, retchid and concerning employees

I absolutely love this Safeway. It’s clean and has plenty of space and product and the freshest produce and deli around but it saddens me that their bakery has gone downhill. Every time I try order anything from the bakery their prices never match every other Safeway in the area. It seems like they make their own pricing and rules not to mention to rude clerks. It’s really a shame to have to go to a whole different store just for my baked goods and birthday cakes. I can’t even pick up fresh cookies or breakfast items without fear of them being stale. Cookies that were just baked the day before are hard as a rock and stale like they were baked and sat on a rack and then dated with that packaged date not the actual baked date. It saddens me because this Safeway has by far some of the best cake decorators around. Sammy and Lupe are so talented but again I can’t see myself paying more than what things are advertised for.

The staff is pretty cool. It is a huge store so maintaining the 6 foot rule is doable. I don't feel like I'm confined or have to wait until others pass me to grab the milk or frozen okra. Easy spam picking and wonderful buttwipes.
