“There’s so much to say about how this little shop has transformed into a wonderful community store! This has become one of our favorite places simply to visit, with a selection of curios and snacks to delight, wonderful meals (especially the smoothies!) and delicious bites (the donuts are a MUST try) that rotate with the seasons. Their outdoors area is lovely and the staff is kind and helpful.”
“My favorite place to shop for food! I always feel like im getting the best food for great prices. I also love the bulk food bins where you can scoop out as much as you need and its priced by the pound. I get my granola, trail mix, rice and beans from them. Game changer. Less plastic waste as well.”
“Special thank you to Gabriella, an assistant store manager who was left in charge of the store May 18, 2024. We placed a large deli 9 tray order online and received a confirmation. When we arrived to pick it up, the deli department had no knowledge. The trays were to be the food for the funeral reception for my mother-in-law and we were on our way to the service when we were picking it up. Needless to say, my husband was VERY upset by the mistake by Safeway.
Gabriella showed up at the funeral reception with 5 platters of food. She had made every effort to make it right. We really appreciate her attempts to right the wrong.
Thank you Gabriella.”
“I've shopped here since 1975. I'm Hawaaian mix and left islands back in '74. This shop carries most of what I need: poi, saimin, ahi, taegu, kimchee, ume, shoyu, diamond cream crackers, guava jelly/jam, lau lau, kalua pig, seeds, etc.”
“Olympic Liquors is the Holy Grail for high end Spirits. I'm a bourbon guy and this place has it all .. no joke. If you are looking for that elusive bottle, I suggest you call the store and speak to Sonny. He's honest and truly understands great customer service. Sonny is my new friend”
“I am a regular at the smaller Poets' Corner Safeway, but came to this location to order a custom birthday cake. It was special, two birthdays on the same day. My husband turned 67, and our dog Sid turned 14.5 dog years old, or 101.5 years old in human years.
The 1/4 sheet cake turned out FANTASTIC. I love to cook and bake, and can appreciate the effort in these custom cakes. I met with head cake designer Jose to discuss a combination birthday theme with dog paw prints. Jose was so kind and understanding. The cake is BEAUTIFUL and exceeded all of our expectations, including the lovely sparkling piping frosting, and wonderful balloon bouquet. The whimsical lettering is perfect for this special day. A very positive experience. I highly recommend this bakery!”
“Ordered the Thanksgiving meal for family this year and it was amazing! Got the food around 9am and the staff was calm, cool and composed. It was busy and that staff outside was so friendly as some customers were NOT. Kudos to their professionalism!!!”
“Carlos, the employee at the grocery store, gave us and my daughters bananas as a gift. He is a very good and respectful person and loves children very much. I thank him very much for that. I am grateful and I always come here. Thank you.”

“I stumbled upon India Bazaar when I was getting Dunkin Donuts a few doors down. Years ago, my friend made a delicious mango flan and when she taught me how to make it, she told me to use mango puree. It's really hard to find mango puree in stores so I thought I'd come in to see if they have it and luckily, they did! The lady working there was really nice and even gave me tips on how to use to mango puree to make mango lassi by adding yogurt! One huge can of mango puree was enough to make a mango flan and still have some left over for a few lassi drinks.”
“I always stop at the Whole Foods when I'm traveling down to The Bay Area from the North State. It's your standard WF. A little smaller than some WF locations but I find it has all I need. It can be hard to get to later in the day because of traffic and Walnut Creek is just crowded all the time it seems. But it's only about a 7-8 minute detour off the freeway so it's an easy stop.”
“Every thing is top of the line . My family and I get stared at a lot in the store .. Like I told my Youngest they stare because we are a Beautiful Family of Color .. That’s why ..”
“Great markets! Great people! Hard-working folks that do everything they can to assure a safe and excellent market experience. You can't go wrong with CFMA farmers' markets.”
“The Safeway on Broadway is easily one of my favorite places to shop. It’s well organized, pleasant to walk through, and always a great experience. I find myself choosing this location more often because it consistently delivers everything I need with ease.”
“They have improved their service. I would not give it one star a year ago but now I am going there 2-4 times a month. Deli corner is improved. Dishes are really good and taste authentic. Freshly baked bread is the best. Cashiers are discreet.”
“I really like this market. They have everything from lavashak to ice cream, bread, to pomegranate molasses. The owner has always been polite and helpful ( unlike some previous owners over the years). So I will continue to return to this store.”

“Several heirloom grape tomatoes were starting to go bad. On a busy Thursday afternoon it required maneuvering to get around other shoppers and a wait to check out. Deli clerk was great after I got their attention. I saw staff assisting a customer to their car. Self check out & staff were efficient despite the line. It seemed expensive, perhaps because I forgot to put in my rewards card.”
“I like this location when I’m headed home to San Leandro from WC! It seems small but it has everything I want- Parking can seem crammed but there’s more spaces on the side”
