Safeway at 707 S 56th St in Tacoma is a convenient neighborhood grocery store that offers a friendly shopping experience. The store is clean and well stocked, with a variety of departments including a bakery, deli, butchers block, produce, floral, and grocery sections. The bakery features customizable cakes and cupcakes, while the deli provides made-to-order party trays. Customers can also enjoy online ordering with the Order Ahead service, ensuring bakery items are ready upon arrival. The produce department offers fresh fruits and vegetables, and the floral section features exclusive products. Shopping is made easier with options like Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™ for quick service. While the store is generally quick and easy to shop in, parking can be a challenge, and some limited space means certain items may not be available. Customers appreciate the helpful staff, especially cashiers, though some have noted issues with store management and specific services like the Starbucks, which is often closed due to staffing problems. One incident involved a lost key, where staff response was mixed, but overall, most employees are helpful. Despite some drawbacks, many find the store to be a good, convenient place to buy essential groceries, enjoying the friendly atmosphere and variety available.
My neighborhood grocery store! It's a smaller Safeway so sometimes I have to go to the one on 38th for more variety.

Store is very clean and well stocked. They don't have a huge selection of certain items but that's because they are limited on room.

Took the kids to Safeway in Tacoma for sundae fixings—three kinds of ice cream, nuts, cherries, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of impulse buys. Great cleaning supply sale, but the app-only coupon ghosted me. Still, self-checkout was smooth, and our sweet tooths were satisfied!
