Safeway Grocery Store

This Safeway is gross. The produce is terrible. There were actually rotting bunches of basil sliming up the shelves in one area when I was there. It was nasty. The aisles are small and crowded in this particular Safeway as well. I would highly recommend checking out the Albertson's across the street instead. In Seattle, the Safeway I used to go to in Ballard was fantastic. Maybe the quality of Safeways isn't as good in CA. I'll continue my search. more

My favorite grocery store in Mountain View for basic items is Safeway--of which there are three locations, on California St., Shoreline Blvd., and MIramonte Ave. I usually shop the California Ave. one, but the other two are nice also. These stores carry a large line of organic foods--not in one section of the store, but throughout the store. You can recognize the organic products by the bright primary colored boxes with the big letter “O” on them for organic. They also have a pretty good selection of organic produce there. I always buy their butter because it is organic and it it costs less than anyplace else--$4.97. Did you know that regular butter is one of the worst foods you can eat in terms of chemical residues? Apples and raisins are close seconds and thirds. I always buy these organic--also my green leafy veggies. I can’t afford to buy everything organic, so I pick the most important items that are most heavily sprayed or contaminated in the regular form. Another good buy is their organic soy milk in boxes--only $1.49 yesterday. more
