“Step back into time with this unique and cute store. The employees dedicate their time to the customers and you can tell they really care about the quality of everything they make and sell. My first visit was overwhelming as it was completely busy with a ton of customers all demanding they get served next and all but shoving people out of the way to get served before others. While my initial thoughts were less than enthusiastic with the chaos, I understood why there was such a fuss. They provided such care to each costumer and the products we purchased with smiles and politeness that isn't very common in some customer serviced based operations. Despite the other guests not being considerate, the workers here went above and beyond to help everyone with the same amount of grace, making sure everyone was greeted, assisted, and left with everything that they needed. And when I tell you the food is all homemade??? Holy crud! VERY DELISH!!! This has now become one of my favorite places to grab a lunch and cinnamon rolls because they are so incredible. The sandwiches at home are fine and all, with the expensive meat from the stores, it tends to all get thrown together just for sustenance. Even when making their deli sandwiches, they show great patience and skill when assembling it and cutting it in half. Something as simple as a sandwich was by far exceeding my expectations. Even when the store and workers are busy, they make sure to make everyone feel welcome as they work diligently to make sure their guests are truly happy. This store is amazing and I truly can't boast enough about them. They are doing incredible and wish them all the luck in their growth.”
“When I went there the lady working was very helpful and very patient and also taught me about other products that they carry. Outstanding customer service thank you”

“I love this place. The employee's are so nice and great customers services. I go there at least once a day. I've been doing this for like 5 years. I actually would love to work there with the girls. They are so fun.”
“This 5-star review is specifically for Brandon - the Delivery manager! He knows all the ins and outs of creating the most positive customer service experience. Specifically, I had 2 problems regarding my delivery, one a store issue, one because a user issue - I didn't know to order 6 coke boxes to get the 3 free. He resolved both issues with a solutions-oriented attitude, a solid knowledge base, and provided specific directions for resolutions to occur in a timely manner. He helped me be a better customer *and* strengthened my overall viewpoint of Safeway as a customer. Thank you so much, Brandon!! The world needs more of you!!”
