This Safeway in Pinole is an older, smaller, and quieter store with plentiful parking. It offers a convenient grocery experience with a wide selection, including fresh produce, meat, seafood, bakery, and deli items. The bakery receives particular praise for delicious, customizable cakes that are not too sweet. While the overall product selection is noted as being a bit less than larger locations, the associates are consistently described as friendly and helpful. The store provides several convenient services like curbside pickup, Order Ahead online ordering, Grocery Delivery, and DriveUp & Go™. It is also appreciated for staying open very late, catering to customers with non-traditional hours. Some shoppers note that substitutions are occasionally made during pickup orders when items are out of stock.
Usually the gas station is fast but the actual service in the store needs some work. Ask two employees to assist with getting someone to guest services and no one helped. One employee said they'd getting in trouble for doing so
