There is no parking at the Metreon. There is a paid garage across the street, but target at 2675 Geary has a free parking lot.

I think having this target in downtown has its benefits. It's great if you are a tourist because you don't have to travel all the way to daly city/colma to the Targets over there. You can just get what you need right away. It's definitely not as big and yes, I still prefer the Colma Target because I know where everything is but I give the city credit for taking a risk here and proving that it can work. I found some awesome items here and got a good deal on a vacuum. I'm a happy camper...it's nice to know I have the option to shop here if I need to! :)

I was in area & needing to do some shopping. I got a few items here & there. I was really happy to see these thick ass pork chops (I said thick ass!) . So that made me decide, OK dinnertime!
I decided to get other items to complete Meal & I found everything I needed. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - 2653021577Feb 9, 2024
This target was interesting. It would have items I'm not sure anyone needed but the things I needed were either out or stock or they didn't carry at this location.
As you enter there's a Starbucks on the ground floor. Before going up the escalators i said hi to the security guard and the target loss prevention speciality as well as grabbed a bag for my umbrella since it was raining and didn't want to create a mess.
In addition to not finding most of my items it wasn't a very well labeled store. Usually most chain stores have some sort of uniformity but this one was a very confusing for me and my group. Shelves were semi bare too. Perhaps everyone stopped by here due to the rainstorm and cleared a lot of it out? Perhaps it's because it's a centralized location and there's a lot of foot traffic? Not sure why.
Employees were helpful. It helps that I spoke Spanish and was able to communicate with them in their home language. Problem was because of it being a poorly labeled store, I had to keep asking them for support.
It was clean and smelled pretty decent. There wasn't a ton of cashiers so the lines were pretty slow.
As I waited by the Starbucks for my Lyft which was about a 30 min wait. Security stopped two people. Unfortunately both of them were of color. Security asked for proof of receipt. One gave it to them right away. About 20 mins later they stopped another guy. The second guy kept asking why since there was many others seemingly walking in and out with big items that weren't in bags. He finally showed them it but it didn't feel right to me that both of them were Black men.
It feels like it has the potential to be better but sadly comes in at 2 stars.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - N A.San Francisco, CA423702411Jul 27, 2023Updated review
I just came from this store, and there are so many things under lock and key it's crazy. There were still crazy people running around screaming.
I still give this place 5 stars because it's the only major retailer left, and the employees are working under horrible conditions to keep this place together.Helpful 4Thanks 2Love this 4Oh no 3Nov 3, 2022Previous reviewI really love Target it's the only large consumer housewares store in the city. The best things are the price matching and the return policy. I've returned things almost a year later unused without a receipt but trade in. The employees there are wonderful. It's all the scums and thieves who bring it down by loitering and stealing and causing trouble for the employees and shoppers. Please stay in the city forever.
Aug 23, 2015Previous reviewUpgraded their review because finally they price match with Amazon about time!!! I had bought an electric floor cleaner and found that out today.
Nov 25, 2012Previous reviewThe merchandise is about 5% to 10% lower than what you get else where, but other places have sales with up to 200% off because they pay you to take their merchandise, therefore, 1 star.

Push the button and wait for an employee to show up and grab the socks you want out of the plexiglass cabinet. And wait. And wait. And wait.
Still waiting.
Oh look, here she comes! Aaaand...she turned off the flashing button and walked away.

I haven't been inside a Target in awhile (years - actually) - so I had a true blast making a visit here yesterday.
I felt like an unattended kid - with my cart and big grin - loading up my basket with towels, pillow cases, special detergent, a linen robe - and so much more. I was so excited about the current selection here - from natural kitchen wipes - to a sweet collapsable hamper - that if my cart wasn't so full with items - I would have spent hours in here. Literally.
The best part about this store - is that it seems (from my experience) to be staffed by fantastic employees. I realized after checking out - that my basket was full of brimming bags and I would definitely need some help with them. I had never done such a big shop at this particular Target and wasn't sure the best way to navigate bringing my stuff down to an Uber - since you can't bring carts down the escalator/stairs.
A wonderful staff member directed me to an amazing employee - who went out of their way to help me navigate the cart in the elevator and instructed me on the best spot to grab an Uber and helped me walk the cart over to the Uber - amidst a sea of downtown walkers. The employee was a true angel and I wish I had caught her name - because she deserves so much props! She navigated that cart like a pro through downtown SF. Thank you!
I'm already planning my next return visit to this Target. It's honestly such a blessing that the city has this outstanding resource in the downtown area. I know from past late night trips here, that it's been key throughout the years for picking up basic food and self care items.
Trust.Helpful 22Thanks 4Love this 22Oh no 0Oct 17, 2012Previous reviewIt's exciting stuff having a Target open up in SF.
Love it or hate it - it's still pretty exciting.
Yes - this Target is smaller than the one you'll find in Serramonte - but for SF it works just fine.
I stopped in here the other day and ended up buying stuff I didn't even need- just because I was so pumped about the new Target aroma moving throughout the space.
The bedding, bathroom, and simple items like socks and underwear in this Target got me the most excited. I already plan on making a return trip to get a new shower curtain.
As far as clothes purchases that I made here, I bought a truly lovely mustard yellow cardigan at a what's up price. The leggings I bought here were not such a great purchase - since they ride down when you walk - but the price definitely could have been worse.
Just know that while it's nice having a Target in the city - you can probably get better value items at Ross, and Target is still slow on the organic and natural product train - so if you're into holistic skincare or hygiene - stick to Rainbow and Whole Foods.

Went in for a few things and like another reviewer said, half the store is in plexiglass. Can't shop in peace. Never seen so many large dogs in a store either it's like a petting zoo.
Nothing impressive and I'm a member. Maybe if I return I will order online and pick up so I can out of there. All the self checkout machines were down too,
Service was meh and the value is al it's good.

This Target is honestly not too bad.
It's not amazing that you need to ride a crowded escalator to get up to it and it's not as large as other Targets, but beyond their travel section (which is frequently essentially empty), they always had all our other items in stock.
They do have quite a bit of theft deterrent in place, but I actually prefer the way this Target is laid out so that all the personal care items are in one line as it makes it easier to shop, over having everything laid out on the edge so you have to circle the store to pick everything up. It's easy to stop in, drop by self checkout, and pop back out.
The one loss of star is that the self checkout associates sometimes loudly call out to you to try and force you to go through the staffed checkout. I don't know who trained them to do this, but it's aggressive and the fact the entire line ignores them should clue you in.
Otherwise this Target definitely comes in in the clutch, and we definitely appreciated having them next door when we stayed at the Marquis.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Meda C.San Francisco, CA02Jul 7, 2024

Nice to see a target near where the hotel is. I already stopped in twice for some daily essentials that I forgot to bring on the trip.
It also amazed me that toothpastes and over the counter medications have to be locked up. I guess this is the inner city?Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
