3000 Bridgepointe Pkwy, San Mateo“I like Trader Joe's for some basics, including frozen penne arrabbiata, hash browns, and maple flavored poffertjes. I also like the fresh micro greens. Easy breakfast, lunch and dinners at a reasonable price.”
“5 stars for all the Total wine stores regarding huge selections, pricing, customer service assistive and friendliness.
1 stare for rewards program. It is one of the most pitiful and least rewarding programs of any retailer I've experienced.
For years I would enter my telephone number at checkout, expecting a "reward" to pop up on the card reader but that NEVER occurred. However, a new cashier recently advised that at checkout, upon customer request, the clerk needs to manually swipe a code to determine the rewards amount. He also advised the reward points expire within 90-days of purchase.
I feel the rewards program taints the store as a data mining program that offers little to the customer in return.”
“I decided to visit this location for the first time yesterday since Whole Foods is nearby. The location was a bit hard to get to because from where I was going, you needed to turn left onto Hillsdale court rather than Hillsdale Blvd. At the store, the clerks were very helpful and friendly. One lady told me what the store's favorites are from their recent tasting as well as the customer favorites. One of the recommendations was spot on. I had a few bottles in mind coming in and checked all the bottles on the Vivino app and was able to narrow down on some bottles. Great store and friendly staff!”
“Favorite store. Really good selection and superb quality. They even carry Hungarian vines, too. (Tokaji included.) Just to mention a few random things: amazing braided cheese, all sorts of salamis and cold cuts, extreme variety of delicious berry jams (red current is my favorite), wonderful tea selection, cookies, desserts - from so many countries...! And the prices are good, too. Thank you for making all these super yummy things available for us. ?”

16 W 25th Ave, San Mateo“I went into the store looking for a great wine and found Lake Sonoma Cabernet at a very reasonable price. We absolutely enjoyed this wine and will definitely be back.”
“The World Market offers a diverse range of goods at competitive prices, providing consumers with access to a wide selection of products. Check out the Want Want Chinese New Year Gift Pack 32oz!”

8 41st Ave, San Mateo“Hidden gem for scotch/whiskey enthusiasts. Constantly has new/unique bottles at pricing better than or equal to other stores. Owner is always friendly and helpful.”
“Karen is super cool, and there are always friendly people enjoying a meal when I go here. Its some of the best Pho I've had, straight-up homemade, comfort food. The Banh-Mi is good, and the vietnamese style breakfast is legit. Unassuming location being a liquor store, but the kitchen is visible and these people know what they are doing.”
10AM - 11PM
116 South Blvd, San Mateo“The store has been under new ownership since early 2020. Sam is a great guy and has completely remodeled the inside of the place. The selection is amazing for beer, wine, and liquor, and the store also offers a selection of snacks and accessories (even including ping pong balls and party cups, in case you have a beer pong emergency). I shop here all the time and they always have what I want in stock, or can order it for me. The older reviews about prior owners were correct, but Sam has transformed this location into an outstanding shop and his positive attitude and service make all the difference.”
9AM - 10:45PM
522 Peninsula Ave, San Mateo“The place is a total recommendation. They are very friendly and cozy with the customers. I will drive 30 min to get my booze here rather than stopping anywhere’s else in the middle. Cheers ?”
9AM - 11PM
254 S B St, San Mateo“Nice store owner and a great place to grab your lottery tickets. I like how he doesn't berate you for scratching the tickets in his store, he's super chill, and he provides you with a trash can to throw out your non-winning tickets.”
11AM - 4PM
737 2nd Ave, San Mateo“(Translated by Google) I found what I was looking for and the person who attended me was very kind! Yes, I recommend it!??♀️?❤️☺️(Original)Encontré lo que buscaba y Muy Amable la Persona que me Atendió! Si lo Recomiendo!??♀️?❤️☺️”
“Ignore all the bozo reviews! Been coming here for over 20+ years and ALWAYS have the best service. This has been a family business for years which was passed down to the son of the owner, he is one of the most kind individuals which will order products (specifically sodas / drinks) that I recommend to him and will have them stocked within a week. I've never been to a liquor store which genuinely seems like they care about the community / customers. All of the gentlemen that work at the counter are super funny, nice, and hard working. They can be slow at times as they get SUPER busy although these guys work long hours and make you feel welcomed in their store. Fast service, great products, even water refilling stations in here. Only liquor store that really has been looking out for the community by stocking the things we love.”
“This is a great local spot with a good selection of beer, wine and liquor. The store has a pleasant vibe and the window at the entrance, along with a skylight, leaves it filled with natural light most of the time. A full range of tobacco products is also stocked. The nice gentleman that runs the place will be happy to order and start stocking anything you request. The prices aren't as good as the discounts at Safeway but if you need something real quick, or especially if you need something ordered that you can't find, this is the spot for it.”
“Had to stop by here on the way to a Friendsgiving party, though i saw the bad reviews I actually had a pleasant encounter with the cashier. He was wearing a 49ers Jersey so had to give him a compliment! The transaction was quick and the conversation was great! Will have to go back!”
6AM - 2AM
Safeway Liquor, San Mateo“When there's no nighttime public restrooms available in a five mile radius thanks to the destructive nature related to the homeless crisis, Safeway fights back and keeps the restrooms open and clean. I am proud to support this Safeway with my business! We can't let evil win. We must set the example, as this Safeway does, of taking back our cities from those that would destroy them.Thank you so much!”
“Lots of shops, good amount of parking space and within the center of San Mateo county. Lots of Tesla charging station. Target, Ross, Michaels, Home Depot, hobby lobby, chipotle, chick fills, total wine and many more stores and restaurants are in this location. Clean and well maintained.
Next to the foster city and easy access to HWY92.”
