7-Eleven

I know it’s a 7 – 11, but the staff is so nice and they work incredibly hard. They are always cleaning, re-​filling and restocking. They greet you every morning with a smile it’s rarely a wait to check out. Also, a secret fact, but 7 – 11 glazed donuts are way better than Dunkin. This place has become part of my daily routine and I’m very grateful for it!

This 7-​Eleven would be great if it didn’t keep abolishing random things that I like. I used to be able to come in and get a coffee with almond or soy milk and then they decided that it was too expensive, so they no longer offered anything but regular milk. If that wasn’t enough, they then decided to get rid of decaf. WTF, 7-​Eleven? Not everyone consumes dairy and some of us like a decaf cup of coffee once in a while! I’d give 5 stars if it weren’t for these ridiculous exclusions.

Its a 7 – 11. No different or worse than all the rest. I wish that they stilled used Oscar Meyer hot dos but those days are long gone.

Some of the staff members at this location are rude. I have been coming to this location for over two years. There was a price discrepancy, when referred to the manager it was not a pleasant experience to say the least. When I told the manager of my long standing duration as a loyal custumer, and that I was always given the same price for that product, the manager lowered the price. However, when I expressed how appalled I was and that I would take my elsewhere the manager told me to do so. As a business manager this is poor customer service. Every customer is to be valued and spoken to with respect. I will not be returning to this location. There are several reasons good customer service is vital for the company. For one, the customer will always remember your good service and kindness. The customer will be more inclined to recommend the business. Two, good customer service shows the customers you care, this reflects heavily on your business in that the customer sees that the company cares about the customer and not just getting the business. Three, great customer service is an imperative marketing angle to say the least. Without customers the business goes under.

Danger! The entrance is a 4 foot slab of granite at a 20 degree incline at least, with no grooves or carpet. When I visited during a snowstorm today it was almost too slippery to ascend.
When I asked for a straw for my ‘Big Gulp’ soda because there were none on the counter, both attendants seemed to indicate there are none anywhere in the store other than smaller straws that were too small for my cup.
Some items, such as «Kettle» brand potato chips, have no price on them.
When I requested to split my bill across two credit cards because I had a gift card that was almost empty, everything they tried to put my requested $ 4.95 on the first card just resulted in «declined».

They have had more problems with their iced coffee — BUT the manager is always really apologetic and has offered me free hot coffee or a soda instead when it hasn’t been up and running. I appreciate that. Now, if they just get diet dr. p on tap, they’ll get 4 stars out of me.

What is there to say about 7 – 11? This is a convenient location for me to stop in on my way to the subway if I need a drink or candy. The store is small and pretty standard.

Always fresh coffee, even when I’m working the over night. Staff are awesome. This my choice of convenience store when I’m in Astoria. Great place, keep up the good work!

This 7-​Eleven should be the most popular thing in Astoria. They ALWAYS have half-​and-​half when I need it. And I NEED it.

Only in New York!

Came for the only credit union ATM on 30^th Ave near me. It’s right next to the door btw. I walked a full loop around the place before finding it lol.

The functional equivalent of an oasis in the middle of the Sahara, or coming home to a beautiful woman after fighting a war… at least that’s how I feel whenever I see this place in the summer months after biking a few (20 – 30) miles.
The 2 for $ 3 Gatorade deals truly makes one appreciate the simple things in life, and it never gets old. And these are the big Gatorades, not those small water bottle sizes.
The establishment itself is well ventilated (A/​C blasting in the summer, nice and toasty in the winter), and the cashiers have always been quick and friendly (especially after seeing cyclists dripping with exhaustion). The place skimps a bit on its potato chip selection (no garlic and onion?!), though they do have their taquitos, wings, and pizza if that’s your kinda thing. Still, the Gatorade deals are the sh! t.

It’s so awesome having this place in my neighborhood. It’s clean, dog friendly, and has everything you need!

A note to the misled:
7 – 11 has a sticker on the chicken/​pizza window that says 3 for $ 3.39. Well, no disclaimer to say that it doesnt mean everything in the window… bummer. So after a mini convo with the cashier, «No, thats only for the pizza and stuff on the grill» and my response «This sign is very misleading being on this showcase and no disclaimer saying that it excludes anything in the showcase». Correct that people because I love your place.
Also, my friends hot dog was cold, now thats not nice!

It’s alright. I mean, its clean, bigger than the one in Ridgewood, and real close to the N train.
The workers here aren’t as friendly as the the couple who works at the Ridgewood location.

7-​Eleven what can I say. I need a drink. Alcohol.
I never would image I would review a 7-​Eleven but as a consumer with a budget I need to know if it is worth spending my money in someones place of business.
This place is very good. Clean, well stocked and friendly service with a smile. I have been to this location at all hours of the day and night. It always has the things that I need at a reasonable price. Service is fast at the counter, hot food looks very good and cold food has rotation of product.
What else can you say, but thank you for being part of the community.

Have to agree with other reviewers: Thought I’d never give a 7 – 11 five stars, but this place deserves it. Place is always immaculately clean, well stocked (especially with all the drinks, beers and goodies I like!) and the dudes behind the counter are cool and helpful. I’ve frequented countless 7 – 11’s all over the country, but this has to be one of the better ones I’ve ever been to.

This is a beautiful 7 – 11. It’s a bit cleaner and slightly smaller than a normal store, but the service is top notch (it’s Astoria, after all) and the Slurpees and sandwiches are, as expected, super delicious. It looks like the space was once a bar or restaurant, which gives it a unique feel. Proximity to Athens Square allows costumers to enjoy an ice cold Slurpee on a hot summer day in the park. Dear Mr. Eleven, please open more of these in Astoria. Thank you.

If you’re not originally from NYC this place is like a slice of home. In particular I could not find chili flavored frito’s anywhere in the city. Anywhere. Believe me I tried. Finally I stumbled upon the 7 – 11 when I was out for a run (quite a contrast there right). Sure enough, chili flavored frito’s. Ecstasy.

Seriously ???
I can’t believe I’m giving a 7 – 11 5 stars, but it seriously deserves it. The best 7 – 11 experience hands down. This place is run like it’s a mom & pop bodega where mom & pop are both giving you their utmost attention treating you like a super valuable customer.
The people who work here are super friendly and they keep the place amazingly spotless. None of the spilled sticky slurpees on the floor.
This place looks like the 7−11s you see in movies where everything is perfectly laid out, clean and organized.
It’s just footsteps from the sbuway stop and makes for a great place to grab a snack /​morning brew before the commute.
