It seems more things are out of stock than in. Produce section is a mess. It is old, which could be cool if youre not into everything modernizing so fast in Seattle, but it seems like management doesnt exist. Easily the worst grocery store in Seattle.

Very easy to find what youre looking for and very fresh produce.

No self checkout, so most of the customers grabbing

Pretty decent selection. Never too busy. But damn the building is old. It’s like going back in time to the early 60s.

Magnolia Albertsons it’s been a staple for years for the people of Magnolia. Now it is making way for a brand new Safeway/condominium project. Which will add much traffic and much higher Home prices in the area.

Albertsons is a tiny store with plenty of heart, if you would allow the cliche. The cashiers are very helpful and friendly and ready to locate any item you may need. The produce is fresh and there is a good variety of meat and fish to choose from. While everything is great in-house, I would like to suggest that the store is sorely in need of a facelift. Maybe some paint here there, better lighting, and some stronger shading when the sun is especially intense during the summer (you can hardly see the cashier in front of you when checking out).

Fresh produce is very low quality. The same goes for vegetables and fruits. The building is outdated and could use some minor repairs. This grocery store is convenient for most Magnolia residents for last-minute shelf items, but I wouldn’t recommend it for fresh produce. Prices are somewhat cheaper than QFC. The staff is amicable, specially the store manager Shelly; she’s such a sweetheart.

Outstanding Customer Services Provided W/ Smoking Deals (the kind u cant afford NOT TO BUY) .

My wife and I felt hostility from other shoppers there, but not sure why. We were almost the only people wearing masks besides store employees, but not sure if that is why.

This location is small for am Albertsons but didnt seem to be missing anything I expected to see. Even with the Covid-19 pandemic raging and most stores closing their bathrooms to the public, the employee I spoke with let me know I could use theirs and directed me to it. The store (and restroom) was clean and organized and full of positive staff.

Great prices for Magnolia

Its the best grocery store in Magnolia Village!

Had everything I needed. Quick ckeck out. Frendly casher.

Old school grocery store. Very retro

This place is like walking into the mid 90s. I swear this particular albertsons has fallen through the corporate cracks and remained as is for the last 30 years. For this, it depends on what your looking for, if thats a no frills walk in walk out, this is it and I love it.

One of the last cute old (not remodeled) Albertsons in Seattle that transports you straight into the 1980s. They still use the old-skool freezers and fridges in their bakery section in back

Great prices and customer service

Always a pleasure to shop there.Clean, staff is beyond polite, professional & knowledgeable.

It’s a smaller store. Has essentials but I’m not too impressed by the vegetable and fruit quality. If I buy strawberries from here, I find I have to eat it that day.

They have true maple bars

Great prices but always a bit crowded

Thankyou for having your bathroom open for vendors and delivery people!!!

The staff is fantastic but the building is really run down and surprisingly so in such a nice neighborhood

I like its small

This is the best stocked place in Magnolia District. I had too much to carry but no car or truck. It has rare items like box juices. A lot of freshly made foods and salads and desserts. Hard to choose because so many. Very nicely spaced aisles for accessibility and wheelchair friendly. Only real problem, not their fault, is buses are two or three blocks away. Metro needs to add more trips and another route because Magnolia is a busy place now. I live downtown but visited since the 1970s when l had a car....

Great store!

Worker not wearing a mask at all, cleaning and putting out food. This is really dissapointing that I cant shop here now. Watched him for 5 min while in line.

Great employees at this location. Very friendly. They need a remodel though.

Really nice place

Oh man the final outpost of this chain in the city (I believe), and for good reason. Their produce and bakery rival Grocery Outlet in quality but are more like QFC in cost. Location is convenient for when you dont want to cross a bridge or give up your firstborn for an apple at Met Market down the street. Also for generic shelf stable products and drinks they have a decent selection.

Nice people...poor product selection!

This store gets worse every time I visit. And they do not care at all about Covid-19 or keeping their customers safe.When I walked in there was nobody making sure the carts and baskets were clean, and no wipes or sanitizer available for customers. There was a sign posted that masks were required, but nobody was enforcing it, and sure enough, there was a customer wandering around the front end right in front of the employees without one.The employees themselves care little about social distancing, I had three separate ones in produce, on the aisle and in the bakery, crowd me repeatedly while I was selecting things for purchase, on aisles that were otherwise empty, and where I had been first.Since this store is destined to be torn down and become a Safeway, they dont really care about keeping it up. Lots of small repairs need to be done, and the overall dinginess of the store, especially around the checkout counters, shows they dont put much effort into cleaning it either. The produce is the saddest I have ever seen at any store, like they went dumpster diving at QFC to stock the place.The cashier is virtually enclosed in plexiglass, and with the mask its nice to know that he is protected. That said, my disaffected cashier (some tall guy in his late teens/early 20s) did not greet me, did not talk, and his answers to my questions (how do I enter my club card number since they changed the terminal) were barely audible. They did not even thank me for my purchase. Its a little thing, that you dont notice until it isnt there.This place has been circling the drain for a long time, but I come back occasionally for cheap shelf items. Given the state of the store and the demeanor of their employees, I wont be handing them any more of my money. Other grocery stores in the area work harder for it.

Friendlynlt staff

I havent been there since 2002 when l couldnt afford to own a car. What a nice place now. Lots of food and box drinks l rarely see in stores anymore. I went out with a heavy bag and wanted more but had a long bus ride. The only glitch is the bus stop is several blocks away. I live on First Hill. Best grocery in Magnolia.

Great pricing and customer service

You can tell the store is old and the staff dont like to be there.

Never thought I’d be the person to write a review. But after my experience yesterday I feel the need to. First of all this Albertsons is dirty and has the WORST selection of produce. The real bright side to it all is that they have cheaper beverages which is the only reason I was there last night. The woman checking me out grabbed my ID and immediately started accusing me of having a fake. Which is NOT true. She insisted it wasn’t real “well Idaho makes a lot of fakes” and then refused to sell to me. I wasn’t aware that the cashier can just pick and choose who they would like to sell to. So in my case I find zero reason to go back to this store...poor customer service, horrible produce selection, and it’s just a dirty store. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Great food products and great prices. I get my roasted chicken here and it never fails to amaze me. Really good food and helpful staff.

Good

Ive heard so many bad things about this Albertsons that I decided to check it out as I started looking for an apartment in Magnolia. What I found was a dated and slightly small but otherwise totally normal Safeway (who now owns Albertsons). The produce, meat, and deli were all fresh, there was a large organic produce section that was well stocked, and the staff were courteous and helpful. People had written that they had a limited selection and while I didnt examine every nook and cranny, every item I thought to look for was there on the shelves (including some very nice Italian coffees). It would be a four star grocery store, but the fifth star bringing it into the exceptional category is for not being marked up like QFC and Met Market, despite being in a high income neighborhood.)(Also, another reviewer said that they dont front their shelves, meaning pulling the items forward. Maybe because I read this comment I was primed to notice, but I was actually shocked by how well fronted the shelves were! The store looked immaculate.)

Small, comparatively, neighborhood grocery store. Smaller in selection and inventory than a full size. Always friendly staff and lots of parking!!! As long as all the users of the pool across the street respect the signs.

Small but it has everything

If you live on Magnolia you owe it to yourself to shop at Albertsons. Great friendly staff, quick service, fair prices, good values, clean well stocked shelves, happy deli service people. Very importantly, all of the stores staff are always polite and respectful to every single customer. This is a core value often lacking at other stores. Thank you Albertsons!

Totally fine grocery store.

Nice smaller location, best parking seen available, always easy park. A bit under staffed when I go in. Store is stuffed with selection, quite surprising and the sales genuinely are good onez! Visit the deli, good to great cold case, especially meats and cheeses. Beer selection good, wine same

Has good fruit, fruit juice, bagels (daily wide variety of them!) and meats. Also has pastries and snack food, plus an aisle full of alcoholic drinks. Good staff and a reliable source of healthy to moderately junky nutrition. A food store.

Conveniently open 24 hours! The greatest staff & customer service. Jojo rocks!

A grocery store is a grocery store but this one is convenient...

The Magnolia Albertsons staff is great and the supermarket itself has all the necessary things. I go here very often. Prices are reasonable and location is perfect.

Dave is the coolest grocery manager at safeways

Its a little worn down and their selection of modern foods is lacking but it is inexpensive. By modern foods I mean things like vegetarian meats or exotic organic/free-range/blah-fed bacons. Its essentially an anti-Whole Foods.That said, when I dont feel like spending 2x as much on Cheerios, beer, or chips its a great option in Magnolia. They also have sizes larger than the other Magnolia stores which is great since Im in a 5 person house.

The best things this location has going for it are the occasional seafood and beef sales and the Amazon locker outside. Its a smaller, older store with limited selection. Its passable if you happen to be near it.

Dairy is consistently out of full fat half and half. Every week the shelves are empty. Empty! Let’s not forget produce. The avocados are always rotten. Rotten!

We appreciate being able to run over here and for the most part we can get what we need. But explain to me why when you have only one lane open, it is operated by someone on her first day, doing her best but still causing back up and anxiety for all concerned. And this while a manager is clearly having a social conversation. Come on! Wake up! We want to be your customers but can so easily go elsewhere.

They are the best. So helpful if youre looking for something and its not there they order it for you and when he stopped by the bakery and Deli they always give the kids a cookie! I go out of my way to make sure to go to this store

A small inexpensive grocery store

The staff makes this store. If you arent into the fancy this is the place for you. If you watch the coupons and sales you can get great deals. Too bad they cant seem to keep a good store manager. Make sure you watch for the coupons to be honored at the register, give them last and pay attention! I hope they never make it fancy its where long time Magnolia neighbors shop and you will run into old friends there. Shelly rocks!

Best real grocery store in Magnolia.

Very helpful deli department with some quick witty banter.

I love working at Albertsons label

I like Albertson its not too terribly expensive and it has a lot of stuff at good prices staffs real nice,, it has the kind of family atmosphere, a neighborhood bulletin boards Plus bakery very friendly very friendly I love Albertson

Store not faced (products moved to front of the shelves). Many products missing. Do not want to shop there for personal reasons. Was shopping for a customer.

In and out very quickly

The people are mostly awesome

Store layout is great and their service is great

Staff always friendly and helpful. I usually find what I need here. Manager here is great on customer service. Store could use a facelift on the interior however.

Ive been here twice and the item I wanted was out of stock both times. Its hard to find things in the store.

Only been a couple times. Nice, well-rounded grocery store. No complaints

Small and limited selection. I know it is clean but it seems gritty. My kids love the donuts. The staff is friendly.

Simple and basic. Not too crowded. Fast lines. Good for quick shopping.

Not the newest store but they are nice, helpful, and always have good produce. One of the places I can almost always find a perfectly ripe avocado.

Nice store but no public restroom. But they let you use the employees washroom if you look okay.

A very sad grocery store.

Nice quick and easy place to stop if you need to pick up something, its never crowded and employees are friendly and helpful.

Everyone is real nice here. The store sorely needs an updating.

Im glad Its here as it is way more affordable than met mkt but its kind of meh.

Nice little store with everything you would expect in a neighborhood grocery store

A little dated. Broad selection of items. Good parking

Love my neighborhood Albertsons. Love the 2 for 5 days.

Friendly staff, good place to have all the groceries done.

Nice, small, with friendly employees. They have lotto, coinstar, key maker, redbox.

5 OUT OF 17 ITEMS DELIVERED AFTER WAITING 4 DAYS

I like the prices at Albertsons.

I was in the area visiting a friend. Had to check the store out. Very nice!!

Service is friendly, and helpful maybe a little understaffed (all of the staff seem to be really busy everytime I go there)The Grocery store is on the small side, cramped, with a weird layout. It seems at first that it is dirty and poorly maintained, but if you look close it is actually clean. It is just old and showing its age. The store is in need of a remodel/update.

Always has what I need. Great prices and pretty good staff

Good Vegetable section.

Great selection lots of people to help you find what you nees

Not as busy as the one on kirby, tons of parking :) I love the hummus, fresh cookies, fresh pizza and the fresh bread.

Decent and reliable place when youre in a rush to buy that one onion when QFC is closed but the staff looks positively suicidal.

Good customer service

Love the products

The employees here are helpful and courteous. The management not so much. I talked to some of the employees and they all say the same thing, management sucks! I had a personal run in with 2 of the management staff my self. Johnathan and J.J. OK I sell realchange but Im not begging for money. J.J. said he called the cops on me when I wasnt breaking any laws. And Johnathan, well I have a great video I wish I could put on here to show what type of person he is. He is a cold hearted type of guy and I bet he doesnt have very many friends inside or outside of work. Hopefully you have a great shopping experience at this store. If you have a complaint and youre not in a suit and tie you will have nothing done about it

Best prices on my basics...kind staff

A little spendy but great in a pinch!

Nice people but long checkout lines.

Enjoyed shopping at Albertsons had everything I need.

Albertsons in Magnolia is a Christmas Miracle! They are open on x-mas. 🌝🔥🎄

Good

Good store with a variety of many quality products
