The store is fine. The problem is in the bakery. The bakery is inconsistent and lacks professionalism, and customizable cakes and cupcakes are not how they promise. Luckily kids tend to be easy to please, but I paid extra for the extras. Yet, they couldn't even read what they wrote for the order. I received an unfinished cake and cupcakes with half-done coloring and incorrect sprinkles/toppings. The main decorations were missing from the cake. They stuck two bats in and just said this looks good. It was all bad, and they just took a couple of pieces from another cake to throw on the cake I ordered as I stood there. Then blamed everything on the staff from the night before while joking. It was a complete waste of money and time.I absolutely would not use the Safeway Bakery in Yelm, Washington again! Heck or any Safeway Bakery if this is the standard.

The ready made meals are so delicious and there are so many choices to choose from. No other store has this kind of selection. You guys are awesome!

If I could given 10 stars, I would!! This is BY FAR thee best Safeway that I have ever been to, and I've been to many Safeways up and down the west coast. It's so clean, so organized and simply an excellent place to shop. I was at an Auburn Safeway last week and wow, the difference was unreal - dirty, dingy ... even the parking lot was gross. Made me really miss my Yelm Safeway and appreciate this great little town! I hope the current manager at Yelm Safeway never retires, he deserves a raise and round of applause. Well done, excellent job and thank you for the superb customer care.

Best grocery store in Yelm. Just wish they would carry some good buttermilk. It was my hangover medicine. Even though I don't drink any more I still like it. My grandmother and I use to chirn

Imagine you are in line at the grocery store-cart full of groceries and then having the store shut down or you had to be out by a certain time like rush hour. That's what happened at Walmart because of FEAR: False,Evidence,Accepted as Real- of the BLM riots going to happen in Yelm. Walmart shut its doors, barricaded them with mulch and soil all the way up to the top windows and sent the employees home. Safeway on the other hand was not controlled by fear. They stayed open 'till 1am because they knew people needed to shop for food. They have higher prices yeah, but if you were hungry and needed to buy food, they were open! I want to add NO-ONE rioted, looted or burned anything down here because this area is Ruby Red and full of hardworking folks who have common sense. As for the masks, employees are wearing masks because they have to for work. Customers are not scared anymore because we know we have been lied to for 18 months. You can choose to wear a mask or not. Most around here have chosen not to. The store is clean. They people are very helpful and plus they have the best Monday Chicken special around! Shopping here is an upgrade. Make sure you shop the sales. So glad we have one here. Bonus: you don't have to pay an extra 8¢ for a plastic grocery bag. Thank you Thurston County!

On January 31 around 5:45 PM, we stopped at Safeway while driving through Yelm for a quick roadside snack. We walked in and noticed most of the patrons were not wearing masks. The employees were just as indifferent. Some had masks under their chin others had their nose sticking out. The masks were useless. We live in Renton. The Safeway in Renton has near a hundred percent compliance with safety. It appears Safeway corporate bends to the political will of the area where the store is located. Yelm is a rural area and like most rural areas masks are scorned and Covid is considered less of a problem. It is sad that Safeway corporate tolerates this behavior and utter indifference to the WA mask mandate. I will follow up with a complaint to the state for this blatant violation of the state's mask mandate and Safeway's willingness to put those Yelm residents at risk that attempt to stay safe. I will also call their corporate office and share our observations. If passing through Yelm, do not stop there during this pandemic. It is not a safe/healthy environment.

Bad review for forcing someone to leave who did not wear a mask. They do not know the reason - most likely a health condition - but they now have prevented her from buying groceries. Shame on you, and your little Gestapo.

Often shop here but recently the merchandise are being moved to different areas in the store. Notice recently the aisles are more narrower very annoying , everyone trying to get out of each other's way, as if there trying to discourage you from shopping here.
