7-Eleven

This place is right next to where my bffs live! Try the taquitos or extra large hot dogs w mustard and ketchup. Also it’s right next to a Duane Reade so I always go there after for home goods 5 stars

My go to stop for quick items. Staff is friendly and courteous. Also had a Citibank ATM inside which makes it even better for me.
Of course all the items are a bit more pricier than a supermarket, but you are paying the premium for convenience. Also, what else is open at 3AM in the morning?

There aren’t many 7-​Elevens around where I live but this one is just a few blocks away. It stays open relatively late (if not 24-​hours) and it always has the things I’m looking for, be it coffee, a cookie or just a cold beverage on a hot day. It’s located right on the avenue amongst the other shoppes, across from the hair salon which I frequently visit. If you are ever in the mood for chicken, hot dogs or a cold sandwich at any random time, this is the place you need to hit up. Thank heaven for 7-​Eleven!

It’s nothing to brag about. I needed coffee and it was in walking distance. Things could be more organized. The salads and the sandwiches look old. I wouldn’t eat anything from this store. Thankfully the coffee didn’t kill me.

Ya gotta love 7-​Eleven chain stores for most importantly being open all sorts of ungodly hours and featuring the Big Juicy gulps of Ice Machine Flavored Slurpee’s that come in an array of flavors that quench your thirst on the fly and being conveniently located just a few blocks from where I live. They got snacks galore, Hot Nachos with all the fixings you can think of to pile on your nachos and make a meal out of it if, grilled hot dogs, chips for the munchies and of course red bull to help you power your way through the day. As a college student on a tight budget and in need of a quick and cheap fix to quench my thirst or satisfy my hunger, 7-​Eleven is my one stop shop place to go for fast, quick and in a hurry soft-​drinks, snacks, food and personal items. I like that this branch is always clean and well stocked, never came in here and didn’t find what I was looking for and this includes personal care items Like for instance (deodorant), cashier is usually this one lonesome guy who rings you and always wishes you a good day and sometime I’m broke with no cash and they will even take my American Express card with no minimum amount required to make a purchase. This is a friendly neighborhood 7-​Eleven and they got me covered.

Ever since I was a kid growing up in Queens, I was acutely aware of how large the 7-​Eleven concept loomed as a uniquely American institution. Cemented in my consciousness via so much 1980s Hollywood fare, the chain was synonymous with the suburbs, adolescence and excess. (Think of Christian Slater’s character in «Heathers» and his appreciation for their predictability as a place to «feast on a Turbo Dog,» though he’s talking about a fictionalization version of 7-​Eleven.)
We inner-​city kids had, instead, bodegas.
In my early years, the only such stores I would come across were in the vast ex-​urban paradise of Long Island, or on vacation outside of New York City. They existed on a legendary plane, at least in my mind, and they held such holy grails as the Big Gulp and the Slurpee.
Many years later, when I left New York to seek my fortune out West, I came to realize how throughly quotidian the 24-​hour convenience store or lore actually was. The drinks were sized to excess, the Slushie was little more than flavored sugar water and the hot dogs cooked on a rolling grill contraption weren’t even that good. What’s more is that the stores didn’t even represent that big a bargain, if at all.
So, our own little outpost of the well-​known chain, located on Myrtle Avenue, still offers round-​the-​clock goodies in an odd-​shaped store.
The drinks are still big and the hot dogs still have their «unique» flavor, and it still makes me smile!

Well what can I say, its 7-​Eleven. No often do you get stellar service anywhere, so I dont expect it here. But I will say that they staff here is very friendly and attentive to the customers needs. I cant say the same about the owner. He treats people as if they are not customers but rather thieves. On more than one occasion I came in for coffee with my refill mug, and each time the owner was at the register, he would charge me for the coffee mug as if it were new instead of the refill charge. I would correct him and he would usually reply with «are you sure, I didnt see you come in with this mug» I mean seriously now lol. Finally I told him to go check the video footage and he became frustrated and said never mind. Another time, I went it with 50 dollar bill and he investigated it like it had a clue to the JFK assassination, he used the marker several times and called in other employees to look at it lol. No customer service skills. BUT the staff is great, they are always in good spirits. The converse with you when you come in, and are happy to be of service. The coffee is by far the best I have had from any of the 7-Eleven’s. Its always fresh and always ready. They are usually fully stocked on everything 7-​Eleven carries. If you can avoid the owner, then I am sure your experience will be that much better.

It could be much cleaner but is one of the few businesses in Ridgewood that’s open ²⁴⁄₇. The slurpee wasn’t half bad. Overall, the appearance is shabby. For this neighborhood, it’s pretty much living up to the same low standards as the majority of businesses in the area. Try one in Manhattan if you’re really jonesing for a slurpee though if you happen to be around here & must have one NOW, this one will do.

I usually pop in here from time to time before going shopping on Myrtle. We grab a snack and go. The place is just ok. I think they can keep it cleaner and attempt to keep produce fresher. I think $ 0.50 for a spotted banana isn’t a deal. Call it 2 for $ 1. Still not a deal. They can do better!

Not bad when you need a cup of coffee or a late night snack. I think they’re open 24 hours.

This establishment is sub-​par. Often times things are broken or out of stock. Many freezer items have frost-​burn.
I would probably steer clear myself, if it weren’t one of the only late night establishments open on Myrtle.

Your average 7-​Eleven in the middle of Ridgewood. You get the service you expect, since it’s 7-​Eleven. What else can I say, these things are the same no matter where you go, as well they should be.
