Park, scan in, shop and check out. What a breeze in a clean welcoming atmosphere. Employees always seem to be happy and go out of their way to accommodate the customer. I may just need one or two items but I always walk the isles looking for new products. It's a great was to leisurely get your steps in. Being an empty nester, I really don't need such big quantity but the saved value on sizes are most beneficial. So what do I do...share. I may purchase a 50 lb bag of rice then re-bag in smaller quantity for the kiddos when they come home to shop. Top value and price is essential in today's time. And you can beat the best deal of the day...the $1.50 hotdog combo. read more

Costco always delivers, but today the customer service really stood out. I had just purchased the 36" Blackstone griddle and was trying to wheel the huge, heavy box out to my car on a flatbed, honestly a little nervous about how I was going to get it loaded by myself. Before I even made it to my car, one of the employees (a Samoan gentleman) came up and asked if I needed a hand. He whistled over another employee named Marcus, who was collecting carts, and the two of them immediately dropped what they were doing to help me load it into my SUV. They didn't have to seek me out--they just saw someone who could use a hand and stepped in. That's the kind of customer service you don't forget. Huge shoutout to the cart crew and the employees who go above and beyond. Every time I come to this Costco, the staff is friendly, helpful, and hardworking. Great store, great people, and another reason I'll keep coming back. read more

I've been to this particular Costco a handful of times and make sure to check their website for the online gas prices! Some places are slightly more expensive than others! I honestly love this particular Costco because they offer some different Asian and organic items that they don't have in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. I don't mind driving a couple extra miles plus this exit off of 85 is the same exit for the coffee shop, poor decisions!! I love that place!! This particular Costco has two different ways to enter, which kind of take a longer time than normal, but I've done both of them and I think it's about the same time and distance since I always get stuck at lights! Lol I will continue to come back here randomly or check their website, but I do appreciate the unique items that are offered!! read more

I love this location. It's not as busy and the gas station is pretty chill too. I'm closer to the location at Almaden Plaza, but since it doesn't have a gas station, we head over here to get everything done. Our shopping, and filling up our cars. Not as chaotic and hectic and parking is easy to find. read more

20 minutes for a simple return. There was no one in line. I didn't have the packing for a detergent and the lady helping me found the wrong item using the brand name. I had to find the UPC code. Weird to do someone else's job for them while they look at mesuspiciously like if just bc I don't have the cardboard box I might be trying to sneak a return by them. read more

This Costco seems to be one of the better locations. Parking lot is huge and doesn't seem overly crowded which is nice. Costco has tons of selections as far as home items, food, electronics , and technology. I've been able to save money by shopping at Costco because they sell items in bulk. Recently an employee helped me find an item I couldn't find. They were kind enough to walk me across the store to the approximate location. Lastly, I believe that this location deserves recognition for being very clean and hygienic. I've always seen the isles clean and bathrooms clean as well. Go get that chicken bake and hot dog ! read more

I love Costco, in general, and this one in particular. First, it's near my home so I don't have to drive all over the valley to get to it. Second, this one has a gas station, which I can really use. Finally, these are great stores and are well run. With their legendary $1.50 hot dogs at the snack bar and the inexpensive rotisserie chickens in the back, I somehow come here looking for a few items and leave having bought quite a bit more. This store isn't quite as crazy as some other San Jose locations - for whatever reasons the customers are not as hyper competitive -- so I enjoy the experience of coming here quite a bit more. Also, since I've been retired, I get to shop when others are at work, so that makes it great, too. I love their periodic specials -- for example they'll bring a great big semi-truck of Christmas trees in for the holidays and sell beautiful noble fir trees at a great price. Or maybe they'll be a road show with some great camping or cooking item. It's a great way to buy something at a slightly better price that you might not have gone for somewhere else. Heck, I even come here for my vaccinations and prescriptions - the pharmacy is super efficient and I never have to wait too long. The return policy is generous, and their cash back policy for members always gives me a check with a nice reason to come back. 20+ years as a Costco member and you guys still rock! And this store is the best in San Jose! read more

I stopped by today after an appointment. This is a newer Costco. Since I don't live by it, I don't go often. But since I was in the area, I thought I'd stop by. They had a lot of Christmas decorations and lights out. There were some really cute peppermint candy lights. I got a few boxes of those. Found my favorite iced tea there and got that too. I was surprised to find the Dubai chocolates. I've been looking for those for months. Check out was crazy so I opted for the self checkout. A Costco employee helped me and I was done fast. You can't beat the prices here and the customer service is top notch. read more

As a millennial mom, it's no surprise I love Costco. This location is my favorite in the San Jose area for shopping, so this review is specifically about the TIRE CENTER. To be fair, my frustration is more with how Costco corporate chooses to run its tire center operations than with any of the employees here. I could go into detail about two years of dysfunctional service, but the condensed version is enough: yes, you can get quality, discounted tires and a seamless online purchasing experience. Installation may even go smoothly. But if you need follow-up service, rotations, repairs, or anything else, you'll run into a frustrating and inconvenient system. The shop is overbooked, the employees are clearly overworked, and the process often rewards whoever is willing to push their way to ahead of you. You may save money upfront, but you'll pay for it in long wait times, frustration, and eventually out-of-pocket costs when Costco can't provide timely service and you have to go elsewhere. Save yourself the time and frustration and go to a local tire shop you trust. read more

Tire Service Center. Made an appointment to have tires rotated. I was told it would take 1.5 hours. I asked what was the point of having an appointment? I was told it would take much longer and that Costco seldom allows "drop- offs". Tires are a good value, but timely service is lacking. read more

WARNING: the following review contains lots of puns directed at the Food Court if you "Relish" picking up A hot dog and soda on your next visit, read on. If you are a vegan, then... well, this review is not for you. Today I went into our local Costco and on the way out with my mostly impulse "why yes i do need that " I decided to double down and stop at the food court for that good ole $1.50 -tax Hot dog and soda. Purchase made and hotdog in hand I went over to the food court ah yes Catchup, mustard, Relish? No relish! And I don't mean oh the dispenser was out of relish I mean NO RELISH!!! And to remove all doubt Costco had removed those Black nozzles off of the Relish diapensers. So all you see is the dispenser with the words "Relish"" still on each dispenser just mocking us customers. To @costco look its no secret that the $1.50 hot dogs and sodas have been a "loss leader" since you first opened but you are always quick to add "but we make it up on the purchases in volume a lot of volume with a lot of. $.000000000's after it So @Costco what gives? Did you not think we the customer would not notice the missing relish? Well this customer did. No Relish no enthusiasm store great people great food pretty good for a warehouse faire. But come on return the relish. read more

Food quality has definitely declined at this location. Compared to other Costco branches, especially the one in North San Jose, this one falls short. At North SJ, you can actually see the team making the pizzas fresh before they go in the oven. In the 8+ years I went there, I never had a single complaint. Since moving to South SJ, though, I've noticed a consistent drop in quality over the past 3 years. The crust is overly thick, the pizza often comes out burnt, dry, and often cold, and the pepperoni distribution is uneven. It's disappointing, especially knowing how much better it could be. This is a photo of a pepperoni pizza on a Thursday at 11:00 AM. read more

You know you're old when you get your jollies off of going to Costco and finding the best deals. Walk by the clothes section and see the $0.97 in the ending numbers indicating the clearance deals.. And then there are the real winners: Seeing the items that end with $0.00 meaning that it's an exclusive manager deal. Who knew going to Costco could be so much fun? You would think that the Costco crowds would bother me. But they don't. There's something comforting about seeing people walk the aisles in a huge warehouse over spending. Because you know that all of us are in the same boat. Why does this place get 5 stars from me? And Why do I prefer this location over others? *The parking lot is huge and I never have any issues finding parking. (or getting worried about getting run over which almost happened to me at the Senter Road location.) Even when the cars are parked up past the gas station, the crowds are still manageable. *Lines are efficient with fast checkers and super friendly employees. In my experience, all of the employees I've come into contact with have been accommodating and sincere.. For example: I always need to use the bathroom. When I ask to leave my cart at the self checkout station, the employees are more than happy to watch my cart for me. *There are always eggs. When you read this review, it will be during the time we have an egg shortage. People do dumb things and hoard them. Lucky for me, I haven't had an issue where there are no more eggs. *Purchased my tires here and my experience here was also great. Super nice employees that had my car done in a few hours. read more

The best thing about buying croissants from Costco is that you can spice them up without the hassle of knowing how to make/bake croissants yourself first. Previously I tried making a cookie croissant and now I made a strawberry croissant. For the strawberry croissant, I spread brown sugar cream cheese on the toasted croissant then I added slices strawberries and powdered sugar. It was delicious! For the cooke croissant, you add cookie dough to the croissant and then you bake it until the cookie is done/to your liking. Enjoy! read more

This is not my local Costco, but a friend told me that they carried a Kbeauty product that I had been searching for - so I had to make a trip here! Parking on a Sunday mid morning was crowded, but not any more so than any other Costco I've been to and way better than some that I have been stuck at. I didn't get stuck in between cars waiting to turn and people weren't pushing their carts around me. Overall win already. Once I found parking, I headed inside and took my time walking around. They have the usual offerings and a few items that I haven't seen at my local one. I ended buying what I came for plus a lot more that I didn't plan for - which I should have planned on happening, it being Costco and all. The crowd here seemed a lot calmer than some of the other Costco crowds I've run into. No one was running into my cart and I had space to maneuver around aisles with ease. Checkout did get a little crowded, but nothing unexpected for the weekends. I was able to be in and out of Costco in less than an hour - pretty good considering I was very tempted to browse for much longer. Given the calm atmosphere here - I think I'll make it more of a habit to come down to this Costco when I have the time. read more

My Costco of preference when I need to get gas and try to avoid crowds. Though, to be fair, this Costco Wholesale has also slowly gotten more crowded over time. Now I just need to be mindful of which days and times I choose to come to Costco. Since the Alameda Costco doesn't have gas, this would be the next closest to me to get Costco gas. I usually don't like going up to Santa Clara and Sunnyvale Costcos since those are always super packed and I'm not a big fan of waiting in long lines. Once inside, the selection of items isn't too bad. I'm usually always able to find what I'm looking for. There's generally a good stock of eggs, milk, and other key household items. If you go during the day time, there's usually sample stations out and about for you to try new goodies. Their gas station lines tend to move quickly. Better to come on weekdays if you need to fill up your tank. You can also generally find parking, though it might be a bit of a walk. Now that they've installed the card scanners at the front, it does take much longer to be able to get into the store - especially with other customers being super pushy and cutting their way in line, which isn't so pleasant. During the exit process, the staff also have tried to get 3 lines going, but with how the lines are spaced, it's had for folks to form 3 distinct lines. Anyway, I still like coming to this Costco out of the other locations. Solid place to shop! read more

I love this place except for these 2rude employees. I told her that the peel garlic I bought from this store was green and about to grow its own plant and showed it to her. She picked the lowest price from no where and decided that was what I purchased. I bought it for $17 but she returned $12. Not only that started to talk sh!t while the client still there with her co worker. I was shocked to hear both of them talking down to the client when I was still there. read more

One of the best Costco's in the South Bay. This location has a decent selection and variety of food products. I visit this location at least 4-6 times a month. They have everything you need from home goods to snacks to every day meds. The fruit selection is great if you shop seasonal. The meat selection is always good and priced just right. They have a good selection of Asian staples and food products. One tip if your air pressure is ever off they do have 2 spots designated to fill your tires near the gas station. read more

Ron from the optometry section is the absolute goat.

On December 17, I visted the optical dept to purchase contact lenses and had the pleasure of being assisted by an associate named Ron. He was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and professional though out the entire process. Ron took the time to help me understand my insurance benefits and worked hard to get me the best possible deal. Thanks to his experience and dedication, I was able to purchase my contacts w/free shipping, which I truly appreciated. read more

One of the nicest and newer Costco warehouses I've been to. This particular location has some unique finds including authentic Mochi (not the ice cream variety), real rice cakes, and other Asian snacks. This location also has a substantial alcohol section, much larger than most I've seen. There's a lot of high end whisky here that - despite the high price - is a steep discount compared to buying it at your local liquor store. Definitely worth checking out! read more

MUCH better OPTICAL SERVICES available to other Costco locations! I have obtained great eyewear at bargain prices from Costco for years. Since frame selection varies a bit by location, I revisited this location. A dark hair woman, heavyset and likely under 30, waited on me. She was curt, abrupt to the point of rudeness, but I found what I wanted and ordered two pair of progressive bifocals. I returned home and found errors on the receipt. She had entered the wrong data on the order. I called to cancel order, explaining she had entered data differently than doctor's prescription. I was told I had to make a return trip to the store for the order to be cancelled, which made no sense to me. That seemed really puzzling to me, but I made what seemed like an unnecessary trip. Service at the Almaden, Cambrian Park and Senter locations has always been better, more friendly and more informative. TIP: Visit other nearby Costco locations for better service. read more

The system needs to go back to the good old days. Before you could walk in and buyer your tires and the always had them in stock and the would do your car on the same day or the next day. Today when you go in to order tires they tell you to go on line and order them and pay before setting up your appointment a week later. I did what they said and I came on my appointment waiting an hour before they told me they had the wrong size. This is not the first time this has happened. I love Costco and will always do business with them, but never again waste my time buying tires here again for my whole family. I rather pay a little more at a professional tire place that does the job on the spot. No more waiting a week without any results. Stop telling customers to order the tires. You guys do it. Also stop telling customers to go on line for all of your other services. Hire more people at the counter and stop trying to do micro management. People want real customer service. read more

This is hands-down, my (and my husband's) favorite Costco! Even from the outside the parking lot is huge. The parking spaces are spacious. There's never any issue with finding a parking spot or it's too crowded and you're constantly driving for 10 minutes trying to look for a spot or follow someone to their car for a spot. The builder of this Costco location is a genius because there are multiple exits/entries into the location so there is never any backed up traffic even on weekends. The layout is clean. The inside is also spacious, the store layout is straightforward and everything is easy to find. My husband and I will go out of our way to come to this Costco. So much so that we actually moved closer to this area because of the store lol (totally worth it)! The gas station is also spacious and the lines move quickly. It also has one of the cheaper gas prices around the area. Everything about this Costco is great, there honestly isn't anything bad that I can think of. 10/10 best Costco location in South Bay! read more

Since then, I've been here numerous times. Parking is relatively easy and the lines are never too bad. I'm a sucker for their coupon book, so I tend to stock up when items are on sale. I recently went in and as you can see above, almost everything I purchased was on sale. All but the popcorn. (Prices listed are the store price then minus the coupon amount.) Finding everything was relatively easy except for the Airwick pods. I tend to only buy these when on sale and they've always been up front when you walk in. This time they were not there, and I wasn't sure where to look. Went up and down each aisle until I found it by the air fresheners in the back right of the warehouse. (This applies when looking at the warehouse when you walk in.) I don't go to Costco often, but they had a few Asian food items on sale. If you try the rapokki and add stuff like meat, etc, make sure to add extra water. Ours turned out a little dry, so we added more water at the end. Great go to Costco location. read more

This is my local Costco that I go to every two weeks or so for groceries, pharmaceutical items, gas, and a tire air pumping station. It opened in 2016 so it's relatively new. I like how clean it is and they always have what I need. I have to say I've encountered some crazy/aggressive drivers in the parking lot. I distinctly remember trying to back out of the tire air pump area and one man almost hit me at full speed because he couldn't wait for the car in front of him to move. That was a scary incident. Other than that, though, the Costco warehouse has friendly store associates and well-stocked aisles. I will continue to come here. read more

Avoid the Costco Tire Shop on Raleigh Road, San Jose. * I arrived only a few minutes late for my appointment, but due to the 50-minute wait in line with only one employee at the counter, my turn came well after my scheduled time. * Instead of acknowledging their staffing issues, the counter rep refused to honor my appointment. * When I asked for help, two different "supervisors" got involved. One pretended to "check cameras" and came back with a false claim that I wasn't within the grace period. Another gave a different story about the grace window, showing even management wasn't consistent. * The entire experience was unprofessional, disorganized, and dismissive of customers' time. Rather than arguing over grace periods, they should focus on better staffing and customer service. I've been a loyal Costco member for years, but this location's tire shop is the worst I've experienced. Save yourself the frustration and go to Almaden or Senter Road Costco tire centers instead -- they're far more professional and efficient. read more

My very favorite Coscto. Yay - huge Gas Station with really nice people to assist -if needed. Say, Thank you. It really is a wonderful Store!
