They carry a lot for a small Safeway. Very convenient for us Carmel Valley folks.

OK I wish I could separate the pharmacy from the rest of it because this pharmacy deserves a five star review. However the low rating of three star is due to vegetables that are often less than fresh I shall nicely say, and the deli where are you always find food that has been sitting there for hours dried up and stale .

Love the app saving money, perks and added free groceries. A big thank you to the checker who suggested it. Feeding a family of 6 it’s nice to save and still get great quality. Their fruits and vegetables are the best! Meats and fish are great. Pleasantly surprised with the pre made food. When we’re too busy to cook we like their food options and bring some to bring home.

This is a smaller store serving the inland area of Carmel Valley, and they do a good job with the space that they have. Ive been shopping here regularly for a year and have been consistently pleased with what I find.First and foremost, the management and staff are genuinely friendly, competent and very responsive to customer needs or requests. This gains my loyalty faster than anything else a business can do.The store is very clean, attractively merchandised, has a wide variety of staple products. The only thing I wish they had would be a cosmetics section.Their produce is excellent, and they have a good variety of organic produce. I have found a nice selection of locally produced products from coffee to honey to baked goods. I love to see chain stores working with local producers to fill in categories of food, instead of trying to carry the exact same individual brands of a product in every store.Oh, and there is always shaded parking somewhere in their HUGE lot.

This is the only option for many once you head up Carmel Valley Road after 7 PM. Its a smaller, older store than most in that chain, so has a limited (and more expensive) selection than its corporate counterparts, but it has the basics, and the folks on the floor have been friendly and willing to help, which is why Im giving it 3 stars...I stopped here one night after a very long and exhausting work day because it was late and I realized I didnt have ingredients for dinner at home, was too tired to cook, and I just wanted some quick, reasonably healthy comfort food.There were raw chickens on sale for 99 cents/lb, but the sign on the hot ready-to-eat case said the pre-roasted chickens were only $5 ($2 more), so I decided to give myself a break. Waited 5 mins in best socially distanced lines they can produce in a small space without making aisles one way with arrows (theres no express checkout here), until the manager opened a second register.The chicken rang up full price. I showed her the sign, and she pointed out is was only of you bought 5 or more. I couldnt eat or store 5 and didnt have the energy to argue, or re-shop and cook a raw one, so I paid almost triple the cost for the ready to eat option.Got home, cut into it, and it was still raw inside with the juices running red even though the exterior looked perfect! Maybe they rushed the mass production roasting process to have extra on hand for the special?I had to cook it for other 70 minutes to get the juices to run clear and raise the interior temp to a safe enough level to kill any bacteria that might have been growing in that raw in center chicken as it sat there in the case for who knows how long waiting for purchase....which is as long as it would have taken to roast a raw one for 1/3 the cost.Thats not just an inconvenience, its a health hazard.To anyone who buys these precooked chickens, please, please, please check them before you serve them to be sure theyre fully cooked, or your family could get food poisoning.Im simply not willing to take chance again.UPDATE:Been in several times each time the bill was more than it should have been because of sale items that were not programmed into the system, and the app that never seems to work for that store, when it does for others. Last time my bill was twice what it should have been, and it took 25 minutes to sort it all out. Other locations seem to work just fine. This store is just way too much work for the customer. If you do shop there, be sure to check your receipts against the advertised prices.
