The Safeway at 424 Howe Ave in Sacramento offers a convenient grocery experience with a wide selection of bakery items, deli, fresh produce, meat, and seafood. The bakery features customizable cakes and cupcakes, with donuts made fresh daily. The store provides Order Ahead pick-up and Grocery Delivery services for convenience. Customer experiences with staff are highlighted in several reviews. One cashier is noted for providing exceptional service, going above and beyond to help customers use the Safeway app and membership to ensure they receive all discounts and sale prices, even offering clear instructions on the process. Other associates are praised for being friendly, resourceful, quick, and efficient, particularly at the self-serve kiosks. The store director has also been thanked for personally helping customers navigate digital coupons and deals. The store is described as clean, well-organized, and a convenient location, often providing a positive shopping experience. However, the layout is noted as not as modern as newer Safeway locations. The shared parking lot can become very busy in the evenings, making it difficult to find a space; shopping before 11:30 am or after 8 pm is recommended for easier access.
