Safeway

Safeway maintains a strong reputation as a reliable neighborhood grocery store with exceptional staff hospitality and consistent quality. Customers consistently praise the friendly, helpful employees who embody the ‘Aloha spirit,’ with specific shoutouts to floral specialist Nona and various cashiers who provide personalized, kind service. The store offers a solid selection of essentials, featuring standout departments including fresh poke and sushi, quality bakery items (particularly sourdough bread), healthy fruit bowls, and well-stocked deli and produce sections. Practical amenities like self-checkout options, mobility carts for disabled shoppers, and on-site Starbucks and bank add convenience. While some note occasional stocking issues common to island stores and higher alcohol prices, most customers find excellent value through the mobile app savings and popular $5 Friday deals. The store’s clean, organized environment and local-focused clientele create a comfortable shopping experience, though afternoon hours can get crowded when school lets out. Overall, this Safeway delivers consistent quality with genuinely caring service that keeps the local community returning.
