7-Eleven

There aren’t many times I would feel compelled to write a review of a gas station/​convenience store, but I have to say I would really like to share this one. Driving home to the Modesto area from a family visit in the Bay Area really super later than I would normally ever ever drive home w my 5yr old, I needed to stop somewhere because my tire air pressure light decided to turn on and it concerned me. And, wanted to get a cup of my «why bother» decaf coffee (separate story… Can’t do caffeine in the evening if I ever ever ever want to fall asleep, but wanted something warm and liquid to enjoy on my trek home at like 1am). Missing stops left and right because of road work etc, came approaching vasco rd. I really didn’t want to hit the altamont before I tried to get this heckled out, so I just exited and drove a little down the road. It was a dark empty road, with 2 fast food joints «open late and lights of police cars randomly lighting the road in places. I came across this gas station/​convenience store looking well lit and clean and just pulled in, figuring one stop shop. I had to pull out my sleeping 5 yr old to carry with me inside the store so I could get a cup of coffee, pay for gas (for some reason the pump wouldn’t read my card) and inquire about the air. The 2 gentleman inside the store were friendly and welcoming. They must have felt compassion for me carrying this huge sleeping kid, and the one gentleman asked me if there was anything he could get for me. When I told him I just wanted a cup of decaf coffee, he promptly said «no problem, I will brew you some right now. Just take a minute.» He did and in the amount of time it took me to find a bag of m&ms, he had it brewed and subsequently asked me what size I wanted and everything I wanted in it and fixed it up custom for me and even fixed the lid for me! When I asked the other clerk about the air he told me where it was and that he would turn it on for me when I got there and then didn’t even barge me for the coffee! The other clerk proceeded to come out with me, pump my gas, and check all my tires and fix the air. All I can say is there are still good people in this world! That experience really made my night and I will be remembering this place whenever I have to stop somewhere on my way home! Big thank you to the 2 clerks and the store environment was clean and well lit.

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but this place smells like death. I go there super early with my bf around 530 am. It is the worst thing in the world. At that time it’s mainly construction workers and truck drivers there and they’re all walking around like nothing. I’m standing there dying and no one seems to notice! It is like this hot and stuffy room that smells like cheap coffee and gross pizza that was overcooked. It is such an intense smell that I leave with a headache. I’m not even kidding. I refuse to go inside now and sit in the car while my bf gets his coffee. He says he doesn’t really notice it so maybe I just have an amazing sense of smell. Go at your own risk in the mornings.

Best 7 – 11 ever. Ok maybe not ever. Restroom. Donuts. Gas. Finger food (pizza, tacos, chicken tenders, etc) baked in a oven behind the counter. Clean. Friendly employees although they just got rid of the two cool dudes (Steve & Omar) who worked graveyard. Heard they got in a rumble back near Slurpee machine.

long line moderately priced but hey its a convenience store, what do you expect.

Came here on a trip to Long Beach and was glad I filled up here before continuing. Not sure why I wasn’t able to check in. This was the last gas station before seeing nothing but emptiness. Gas was $ 4.339 per gallon so my total was $ 45.69

There fast and friendly

This place is perfect for your quick fixes. The coffee is always hot and full in the mornings. They always have the energy drinks I’m looking for. During the summer, their Slurpee selections are great!
The only negative is the lack of parking-​this only becomes a problem during the rush hour in the morning.
It’s not too far off of the freeway and it’s right next door to other food and drink options (Mexican, Quiznos, and Starbucks).
Perfect when you only have a few minutes before work or during lunch!

I stop here on my way to work on most mornings, and the staff is as friendly as can be. Nothing special about this particular 7 – 11 aside from the people working here, although it is larger than most, and definitely one of the cleaner ones.
How I’ve managed to not get into a wreck in the insane mess of a parking lot in this area is beyond me. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

i never learn my lesson! why do i always stop here to look for a sparks drink on the way to costco? first of all, you have to drive into a weird parking lot where i always nearly escape getting t-​boned by a family leaving cattleman’s and then i realize the store is only a fraction of the size of most 7-​elevens and they never never never stock sparks.
like my dad says, the word «convenience» in «convenience store» means that you should be able to buy your preferred alcohol and porn all in one place. oh well.
the guy working there is always nice too, and never judges me when i stand in front of the drinks cooler cursing.

This would be the stop when a) I’m about to go get fucked up or b) I’m already fucked up!
Pretty standard as 7 – 11’s go, the guy working the counter is friendly and I’ve never had a problem here despite my fucked up state!
