“Sooo much to choose from here! Wine, liquor, beer, gifts for entertaining. They have items that are chilled and ready to go or to be stored. I came to get a 12 pack of beer that my friend likes. I was killing time before meeting a friend for dinner and found some sour beers I was interested in. I also scoped the Irish whiskey aisle to see so many distilleries I'm not familiar with. With going to Ireland soon, I didn't want to bring home whiskies I could get at home so I did some studying. A rep was nice enough to help me with some of his favorites. I was also going to Scotland and didn't like peat, so he gave me some other tips. Good to know!Review #79 of 100 in 2023.”

“So many great stores. I never make it to all of them in one trip. The Target is nice. Hobby Lobby has great prices on craft items and art sets for kids. The World Market always has unique items. The Container Store is new.”

“I really love this Trader Joe's. I come here once a week to shop for the family and am able to pick up all the normal stuff plus great frozen food options. The staff at the store is overwhelmingly friendly and helpful whenever I ask where I can find something. Some of my favorite items to pick up here are eggs, Boursin cheese, triple cream brie cheese with mushrooms, frozen soup dumplings, and frozen chicken tikka masala samosas. This store is a gem and really saves a ton on the monthly grocery bill!”

“Great family run business with LOTS of liquor, wine, non-alcoholic, and beer choices. Prices are reasonable and owners are always helpful. Also, they have a wide variety of lottery tickets, and customers win here A LOT. (Someone just won $150K in fantasy 5 P.s. be a regular here, it's worth it.”

“I decided to visit this location for the first time yesterday since Whole Foods is nearby. The location was a bit hard to get to because from where I was going, you needed to turn left onto Hillsdale court rather than Hillsdale Blvd. At the store, the clerks were very helpful and friendly. One lady told me what the store's favorites are from their recent tasting as well as the customer favorites. One of the recommendations was spot on. I had a few bottles in mind coming in and checked all the bottles on the Vivino app and was able to narrow down on some bottles. Great store and friendly staff!”

“Karen is super cool, and there are always friendly people enjoying a meal when I go here. Its some of the best Pho I've had, straight-up homemade, comfort food. The Banh-Mi is good, and the vietnamese style breakfast is legit. Unassuming location being a liquor store, but the kitchen is visible and these people know what they are doing.”

“I went into the store looking for a great wine and found Lake Sonoma Cabernet at a very reasonable price. We absolutely enjoyed this wine and will definitely be back.”

“I live in the area and to me the store is perfect and convenient. Has everything we need, and open late so it’s great to grab snacks for movie nights and energy drinks for late work sessions. Only piece of feedback that could make the store even better is if they had fresh produce to offer. Berries, avocados, mangoes etc — in nice euro bins outside. I’d go 3x a week because then I could walk there and get veggies to cook dinner with”

“The store has been under new ownership since early 2020. Sam is a great guy and has completely remodeled the inside of the place. The selection is amazing for beer, wine, and liquor, and the store also offers a selection of snacks and accessories (even including ping pong balls and party cups, in case you have a beer pong emergency). I shop here all the time and they always have what I want in stock, or can order it for me. The older reviews about prior owners were correct, but Sam has transformed this location into an outstanding shop and his positive attitude and service make all the difference.”

“It's just a liquor store so there isn't much to say. They have a good selection, accessible hours, and friendly staff. Not a large selection of mixers, but they do have some good snacks. If you're in San Mateo and in need of some drinks, I highly recommend this place.”

“Hidden gem for scotch/whiskey enthusiasts. Constantly has new/unique bottles at pricing better than or equal to other stores. Owner is always friendly and helpful.”

“The place is a total recommendation. They are very friendly and cozy with the customers. I will drive 30 min to get my booze here rather than stopping anywhere’s else in the middle. Cheers ?”

“Ignore all the bozo reviews! Been coming here for over 20+ years and ALWAYS have the best service. This has been a family business for years which was passed down to the son of the owner, he is one of the most kind individuals which will order products (specifically sodas / drinks) that I recommend to him and will have them stocked within a week. I've never been to a liquor store which genuinely seems like they care about the community / customers. All of the gentlemen that work at the counter are super funny, nice, and hard working. They can be slow at times as they get SUPER busy although these guys work long hours and make you feel welcomed in their store. Fast service, great products, even water refilling stations in here. Only liquor store that really has been looking out for the community by stocking the things we love.”

“This is a great local spot with a good selection of beer, wine and liquor. The store has a pleasant vibe and the window at the entrance, along with a skylight, leaves it filled with natural light most of the time. A full range of tobacco products is also stocked. The nice gentleman that runs the place will be happy to order and start stocking anything you request. The prices aren't as good as the discounts at Safeway but if you need something real quick, or especially if you need something ordered that you can't find, this is the spot for it.”

“Had to stop by here on the way to a Friendsgiving party, though i saw the bad reviews I actually had a pleasant encounter with the cashier. He was wearing a 49ers Jersey so had to give him a compliment! The transaction was quick and the conversation was great! Will have to go back!”

“When there's no nighttime public restrooms available in a five mile radius thanks to the destructive nature related to the homeless crisis, Safeway fights back and keeps the restrooms open and clean. I am proud to support this Safeway with my business! We can't let evil win. We must set the example, as this Safeway does, of taking back our cities from those that would destroy them.Thank you so much!”
