Bread Basket

This store is very close and convenient for me to make a beer run. However, I avoid it if possible because most of their craft beer is not labeled with a price. I refuse to buy something if I don’t know how much it costs. Their beer prices seem to have crept upward since they opened, but so has the selection. It’s by far the best in the area. Employees are always nice and the breakfast tacos are just ok.

By craft beer loving boyfriend almost broke down in tears when he saw the beer selection. We love the taco basket. Love it!

Yes — indeed I am reviewing a gas station for their breakfast tacos.
First a brief overview on the gas station itself — for my area of South Austin this station generally has the lowest gas price per gallon. The mini mart is new, clean and the employees are very friendly.
Now to the tacos — first when I see that a gas station sells breakfast tacos I drive straight past them. But they are different here. There is a kitchen in the back just for making the tacos. They are made fresh daily with a variety of different kinds. The tacos are a little over seasoned for my taste, but all in all worth stopping here for coffee and two tacos to get your morning going.

So I’m reviewing a gas station. So what.
If you flatter me profusely every time I come in to buy wine, and don’t judge me when that happens to occur twice in one day, and your gas also happens to be the cheapest in the area, you deserve mad props.
I hate convenience stores /​gas stations and everything about them as a general rule. I see them and think: pee. This place is going to smell of pee. And that prognostication almost always proves true. It’s a talent, I know. I can also predict which queues will take the longest at the grocery store and the exact moment at which a show will come back on after a commercial break. It’s cray.
This place is new, clean and exactly the convenience you’re looking for when you don’t have time to run to the super market. It also does not smell of pee.
Seriously, the two clerks there right now are awesome, they’ve always got a joke and a compliment for me and serve as an odd reminder that random niceties can really brighten someone’s day. How weird is it to say that «when I leave this gas station, I’m usually smiling». It sounds creepy, I know. But the truth is that these gentlemen give great customer service and because of that, I choose this stop specifically over the others in the area expressly because I know I’ll be treated well at the counter. That and the fact that their wine selection is phenomenal all things considered, their bathrooms are clean and they’ve got a kitchen.
Glad they opened up and hope to see them doing great business for a long time.

This station opened just recently so the gas prices may be too good to be true, but I’m enjoying the heck out of them for now! The guys working here are super friendly and the store is large, clean, and well stocked with more items than you’d find in most convenience stores. Nice little addition to the area!
