For those of us who live in Hawaii we are fortunate to have an abundance of places to grocery shop at, what makes this grocery stand out from the rest is the customer service! I will be a loyal customer here now because of Austin who works here! He went above and beyond. He was super helpful and kind! Made sure I was taken care of and was an absolute joy- this is the kind of individual any company would be lucky to have on their team, the type of person who should be looked at to be promoted within the company. Please keep Austin around as I now will look forward to grocery shopping here because of Austin! Another great employee was Monica, she was also really helpful and kind!

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii... Cece and I were on a hunt for Waiola Coconut Water. It sounds odd, but the price was $4.99 (plus tax of 0.4712%) - the lowest price ever for a high quality product! We had already visited two other Safeway locations and were more determined to reach our goal! We experienced great service in Kapahulu and not so great service in Manoa. I was hesitant to come to Beretania because it seems so busy and crowded. However, it wasn't bad at 9pm. Luckily, it's a 24 hour operation! I actually called the store first and received great help! Customer Service said that they did have Waiola Coconut Milk. I spontaneously asked, "How many are there?" After a bit, the answer came back: "About 20 containers." Yippee! I should have asked, "Where?" Beretania Safeway is relatively new and spacious. We parked on the ground level and caught the elevator up. It was so bright and clean! Cece knew to look in the refrigerated area at the end of an aisle... Eureka! She found it!!! The question now was - how many can we each carry? These containers are kinda heavy! Haha! ...especially because she was taking the Waiola Coconut Water with her on her flight back to Northern California! Hmm... Cece is an excellent packer, so she figured out that she can fit 6 containers in her luggage. I got 5 containers... and we checked out! Luckily, we had our strong reusable bags with us! The cashier was amused by our photography antics with Cony, Brown, and Grumpy Bear! This was a fun adventure with a happy ending! Thanks for the memorable experience! We'll be back!

Safeway Beretania is one of newest Safeway with ample parking. Best time to shop is on Friday when they have their $5 Fridays. You can see what's on sale on their ads in the Midweek. Always extra savings on their app. Safeway have variety of brands and more of it. I do like to come for their $10 meals like their sandwich combo or the create your own so you can pick your protein and your own sides than potato wedges and Cole slaw. For your sides, I rather choose their pasta salad, Okinawan sweet potatoes, but especially the broccoli salad! The dressing makes the broccoli salad which is one of my mom and I favorite! The bakery and flower section are worth checking out. They have a pharmacy too and I forgot who I spoke with here over the phone but he was really helpful when I was checking on their availability of a medication that was hard to get. You can get gifts card from here but just can't get it through the self check out. The nice thing about Safeway when purchasing gift cards, the gift card receipts automatically comes out after your store purchase receipt so you have a gift card activation receipt to attached to the gift card. Best to download Safeway app to save more and to get more deals!

Not just for groceries... As I watch our local Safeways transform itself to this multi-use area to do much more than just grocery shopping...it worked because prior to that I've never shopped there very much at all. Besides the usual pharmacy, banking and even delivery or curbside that many grocery stores have now added for additional services they do have Starbucks and who haven't gone there for that alone...yup yup! The best thing that does set them aside is the DMV kiosk. Literally takes just a minute it's the best convenience that I truly love not just that you don't have to stand in long lines to get it done there's isn't a time that it will close lol! There is a $4.00 convenience fee added along with a 2.5% fee for credit/debit card it's still all worth it and it print it out so there is no waiting. The vibe here is always fun and bright sometimes building random art out of soda boxes is impressive along with a floral area and covered parking getting here is easy...oh and don't forget the $5 Fridays the deals are so fun and amazing! Thank you!

Always enjoy coming to this Safeway (excluding the donut/mouse incident). Good sales and clean aisles. Five dollar Fridays. App coupons and Just for you deals. Almost all of cashiers and employees are helpful here. If you can't find something that was on sale, just ask and they'll check for you or issue you a rain check ( some exclusions apply). There's also a Starbucks located at this location.

I actually kind of like this Safeway. I remember when it was just getting built from its old location across the street. The whole second floor store situation makes this location weird and quirky. It's kinda hard to use the escalator with a bunch of bags, so I try to park on the elevator side and use that huge elevator. The Safeway store is on the second floor. The first floor is for parking and there are some small stores on the street side of the lot. The elevator lets out right next to Starbucks, so that's cool. This store is very large and there are always a lot of people shopping. I like that things seem to be rotated out (or bought out) quickly and that there are frequent sales on things I normally buy. The best deal happened when I happened to be shopping for a belated Friendsgiving celebration. Turkeys were only $0.49 per pound. What a deal. On my most recent visit, I picked up some sumo oranges for $4.99 per pound. I feel like that's less than Whole Foods and they were sweet and delicious. I'm usually impressed with the flower department at this store, but sometimes it is lacking or the flowers are old. At least they have flowers. The cashiers are nice and if you don't want to talk to a real person about your groceries, there are several self check outs.
