7-Eleven

I stop here everyday before work and after. I have always received excellent customer service from Ruth! Everyone is always so friendly they make you feel like stopping in whenever you pass by… thank you Ruth and the team who works this location!

Convenient, but not the best selection. I don’t know how, but this location always attracts the strangest people. Surprisingly, the staff here is always friendly and patient with what they have to put up with. This is a smaller store, so don’t expect them to carry all the items the other ones do (7-​Eleven at McCully is 2 blocks away and much nicer and newer). It’s a no-​nonsense place to get a few things but not much else. The Slurpee machine never works.

This 7 – 11 is the worst I’ve seen, there’s always taxis parked on their parking lot when their not supposed to and the staff lets em… ridiculous cause you can never find a parking stall. And one of the ladies that work in there, her name is Boo, she’s the rudest and the most unprofessional person I’ve ever had to deal with, I live next door to it and most of the times I don’t get carded for cigarets or alcohol, maybe cause I don’t look like a teenager, I’m on my 40s but I had several times been carded by this lady Boo which she knows me cause I’m there twice a day and what really gets me is if you are going to card people, even they know you or not, they should card ALL THE TIME, not when they feel like it or they just want to break your b@II$. I’ll give em 3 stars just for the fact that the rest of the staff has always been good to me and my wife, most of the times… but this Boo lady is what’s making this 7 – 11 to go down with her attitude.

I come here in the morning for coffee refill $.99 and a jalapeño SPAM Musubi $ 1.65. It is become my favorite fast on the run breakfast. The spicy ahi tuna hand rolls are yummy for lunch. Having moved here 5 years ago from the mainland the 7-​Eleven on the mainland had nothing like this. I guess it’s just another benefit from living in Hawaii.

I know. It’s a 7-​Eleven. But, I got to give props, when they’re due. It’s like how I can’t front that Lady Gaga MURKED her Sound of Music/​Julie Andrews tribute. (A movie I haven’t see, BTW.)

Perhaps this mainlander (me) is used to a convenient store having a dirty floor and stale interior. So, I was surely impressed with this 7 Eleven, following a ramen face-​stuffing feast on the floor above at Yotteko-​Ya. In need to cool-​down from that poorly ventilated, yet delicious, restaurant, we stopped by this location on the floor below.
Inside is almost Apple store-​white bright and clean. The snacks, toiletries, and drink shelves are stocked to the brim and the floors even showed my reflection. (My reflection!) Oh, and there’s sushi and other Japanese snacks to buy near the checkout. That’s pretty sweet… for a 7 Eleven. I’m used to dehydrated donuts, questionable sandwiches, and high-​sugar drinks. Things, I would never consider eating. Ever. It’s nice to see something representative of the local culture.
Perhaps the best thing they have, though, is BRUCE LEE TEA! That’s right! The iconic martial artist is now an energy drink, and it’s damn tasty. (I think it was $ 3.99.) I’m not sure if this is available at all convenient stores on the island.
Aside from that, I thought the cashier was sweet as a mango bobba tea.
This location was somewhat close to my AirBnB, and I would definitely return if I stayed in the neighborhood again.

So I only came here once because I was thirsty. I was actually at Buffalo Wild Wings waiting for an order. I had 30 minutes to waste so my buddy and I walked here to get a drink then go back. The store pretty much had all the necessities. It was clean like all other 7−11s. The only thing that I found interesting was what I saw in the parking lot that night, haha. Not really a part of the review, but there were two taxi drivers arguing for the spot to pick people up there or something. territory disputes.

7 – 11 FREE SLURPEE DAY EVERY JULY 11!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
GET THERE EARLY OR THEY WILL RUN OUT OF CUPS!
(It happened to some people haha)
You can even hit up all the 7−11s. Just a tip!
i usually stop at 7 – 11 for home lunch when I’m in a rush in the morning.
They’re known for their spam musubis.
BUT I LOVE THEIR PORK HASH!
This location has some homeless /​druggy people that hang outside.
may try to ask you for money. Just a heads up!

I love 7-​eleven. Musubi’s and cheetos! This 7-​eleven however is somewhat lacking in inventory. No XXtra Flaming Hot Cheetos here.

Not too far from the Waikiki hotel area… about a 10 minute walk.
Loved getting the spam musubi here. When it was hot, a slurpee. Careful late at night… quite dark in this area. I’d say don’t take the local roads back to the hotels… take Kalakaua Ave to Ala Moana Blvd since there’s more foot traffic and street lights.

Hey 7 Eleven corporate hq…
Please let me use me use my own coffee cup at your stores. A lot of places give you a discount for using your own mug since you’re not depleting paper cup supplies. You guys insist on making me buy a plastic ⁷⁄₁₁ mug to even have the ability to USE MY OWN MUG, let alone giving me a discount.
I don’t want a discount, just simply let me use the mug I already own.
Honolulu has enough litter on the streets already.
Thank you.

Thank you 7 – 11 for always being there when I needed you the most.
You were there for me when I couldn’t reach a super market in time to buy my beer, and you were also there for me when I got super baked and wanted to eat some late night munchies. Thank you 7 – 11. You rock.

A simple 7 eleven like all others. I couldn’t understand what they spoke. Just like all 7elevens. The labeled some products wrong and got angry at me for noticing. Deal with it or Just go to an abc store.

Think about it… where would we be if we didn’t have 7-​Eleven? Where would be able to get our late night slurpee/​ben and jerry/​teriyaki spam musubi/​chocolate donut/​peanut butter jelly fix? Uhhh… not no where that’s for sure!
Conveniently located right next to the some of the best restaurants in town, 7-​Eleven is there for us when we need a cheap dessert after a great meal or late night munchie run. Its just one of those places that we take granted for and we all hate to admit that we love this place. So fess up guys, you know you live for 7-​Eleven!
Who does not love SLURPEES? This location is bomb because of its Pina Colada and Strawberry Slurpees… put em together… LAVA FLOW! Das Wsup! **See photos**
Another plus side is that First Hawaiian Bank users have a place to grab some cash! Thanks a bunch 7-​Eleven! Its so hard to find a FHB atm in town sometimes!
I truly believe my life would suck a bit if 7-​Eleven wasn’t around.
So…the next time you walk into McCully 7-​Eleven, BE GRATEFUL ITS THERE!

Perfect location for people who check in to Double Tree Hotel. If you are heading out to 7-​Eleven from the Double Tree at night, you will see a crazy old woman talking to doll owls on the floor. Don’t mind the «OWL LADY», if you get scared, there is a cop at 7-​Eleven parking lot just chilling without drinking coffee or eating donuts. Not like most California cops, he is actually working and putting crazy homeless people on check.
On a hot humid day, their slurpee is something you should get all the time in Hawaii with their award winning Spam Musubi and Pork Hash. Don’t forget to get it in the morning or late at night (DRUNKS ARE ONLY AT NIGHT). Most of the items are so much cheaper than ABC so save a trip. If you want to drink in your hotel room, then don’t forget to get some Smoked Squid because it’s the bomb.

Great place in the day and scary at night. I love going late night for the Big Bite Hot dogs, they really hit the spot after a bottle of Grey Goose. The only set back is making it out of the parking lot with your wallet in your pocket…

It’s the closest freaking 7 – 11 in Waikiki that’s not an ABC or Whaler’s store. Usually open 24 hours (and sometimes not) and don’t mind the shady homeless people and drunkards that hang around the place. There’s also usually a taxi hanging around the place for a quick escape.

i wouldn’t normally review a 7-​eleven, but my bad experience needs to be heard! we were all having dinner at hotpot heaven, and since it’s BYOB, we decided to stop by 7-​eleven to pick up some booze. my little brother tagged along with me because our party wasn’t all there yet. as i approached the cashier and handed my ID, she outstretched her hand to my little brother? WTF? i seriously thought she was messing. this kid is obviously not having any, you retard. i said it was for me, and she was giving me that look like REALLY?
you know what? i can sooo handle 6. i’ll take you on right now!
but that was besides the point.
«no, it’s not for him.»
«he’s not with you?»
«no, he is, but he’s not having any.»
«Who is this for?» they asked. «Huh? For me, my aunt, my boyfriend? We’re gonna have dinner!»
it’s so ridiculous that she would actually hold up a line for my explanation. let me add that there were two other women there who did not bother opening up another register.
anyway, the bigger BIGGER woman stepped in and said, «Tell your aunt to come down and buy it herself.»
«WHAT? Why can’t I buy this for myself?»
«Cuz he doesn’t have an ID. He’s with you isn’t he?»
I could no longer deal with the incompetence, so I left and said, «Ok thanks I’ll buy it somewhere else.»
Ginormous woman says, «Yeah, go then.»
Unprofessional belligerent fck.
I understand that there is a law against buying alcohol for minors. I simply think it’s out of order for the cashier to be suspicious of such. It’s out of line. If she’s suspicious of my age and whether or not it’s my card, that’s understandable. Otherwise, give me a legit reason why you’re embarrassing me by holding up the line.

One of the best locations ever. After a late night, it’s nice to just grab something small to eat with friends. 7 – 11 is the place. I mean, Arizona green tea and a musubi or spicy ahi roll… that really hits the spot. We always go late, so I’m not sure if it gets crowded during the day… but if you go around 10:30 or later, it’s empty. So you can browse their huge selection at your leisure

So, i’ve been in hawaii for over a week now, and EVERYONE keeps telling me that I absolutely have to try the spam musubi. Also, that was something on my list to eat when I came here. However, to my dismay (and disappointment) every convenience store, grocery store, market, you name it– DOES NOT CARRY THEM.
All the locals have said to me… go to any 7 eleven– you’ll be sure to find it. I’ve been to (count it) five 7 elevens and NOT ONE had it! I’ve been to grocery stores, Longs drugs… I was beginning to think that someone was playing a huge joke on me. Taunting me with the thought, but always ending up empty handed. Until one night.
I was the Irish Rose with some peeps, and I told them my dilemma. «Where is all this Spam Musubi you all keep talking about???»
«Oh girl… you gotta go when they make it… like 6:00 AM. They usually run out by the first hour! But don’t worry, they get it throughout the day. You will find it»
Determined, I went next door to the 7-​eleven and lo and behold, the spam musubi was glowing like the door to heaven had opened. The lady at the cashier reveled in my triumphant moment, and suggested I get the DELUXE SPAM MUSUBI (all for only 20 cents more!!) This one had the sliced spam, and thin layer of egg, some tasty nori flakes, and rice all wrapped up in some more nori. Michelle is a happy girl
I must say, I understand the commotion behind the thing. something so easy and so compact, so deliciously hit the spot. It may have been the long wait, it may have been the 3 mai tais I had, but one thing is for sure: I am a fan of the stuff, and THANK YOU 7 ELEVEN on KALAKAUA ST for making this dream… a reality.
As a side, the cashier lady was freaking AWESOME, and told me that i was spoiled since i got to try the deluxe first. i’m pretty sure that i still enjoy the goold ol stuff too!
Hooray for spam!
