Zot N Go

Very very clean place! They have a lot stuff you won’t find at other stores. Great customer service too.

This is a very well stocked convenience store on campus! Best part is you don’t have to leave campus to pick up a snack, drink or even ice cream.
Prices were on par with 7 – 11 — but you do pay for the convenience.
Vast selection of snacks, drinks, frozen foods, pastries, fresh coffee and even general medicine cabinet stuff. You can also pick up your scantrons here as well.
Items were well-​stocked, store was well-​lighted and clerks are generally friendly.

Prices are a little expensive here, but it is a little convenience store on campus. Anything from food to medicine, it is resourceful for students. If you are wiling to spend at the cost of convenience, then go ahead, if not head to Albertsons.

Zot N Go is UCI’s version of a convenience store. In fact, it’s nicer than most convenience stores. As the name implies, it’s the perfect place to go when you need to get something on the run.
I came here for a number of reasons.
1. Coffee
2. Bagels — I suggest putting your bagel in the toaster oven!
3. Scantrons, pencils, and erasers for my exams
4. Snacks (protein bars, chips, candy, etc.)
5. Frozen meals to take home for «dinner»
6. Sandwiches/​Salads for lunch
7. Drinks (water, soda, gatorade, etc.)
Quick lines and friendly service.
So why only 3 stars? First, it’s a convenience store, so there’s really nothing too special about it. Second, it’s overpriced relative to Albertsons or other similar stores. With that said, it’s still a useful store to have on campus.

Prices are a little high compared to the Albertsons down the street, but hey. When you’re on campus, it’s convenience is what you compromise your budget to trade off. They have good deals here and there like $ 1 Brisk and $ 2 Neuro.
They also sell scantrons, so whenever I’m rushed for an exam, I drop by here and drop a quarter for a quick scantron. It’s definitely a time-​saver and I’d say overall, I’m glad we have a little UCI market here.
They have sales here and there, which is really appreciated. It’s convenient for people who just want to pick up a bagel, need a quick pick me up, or need the microwave.
I also like their little pseudo-farmer’s market thing where you can buy fruits and also snacks by weight, such as chocolate covered pretzels.
Service here for me has always been quick, but never rushed. Cashiers have always been friendly, and although this is small, I really appreicate their «good luck» with a genuine smile everytime I buy a scantron.
+1 Star: Convenience; allows opportunities to buy scantrons without the wait of the Bookstore
+1 Star: Decent sales on occasions
+1 Star: Spacious and clean.
+1 Star: Really nice cashiers who are efficient
–1 Star: Priced kind of high.

So convenient. I mean, things are over priced, but when you have to get a small snack before class, or you want lunch but you don’t want Wendy’s or Panda, Zot and Go works.
Their baked goods are really good for breakfast, and they’re pretty cheap. Also, if you need a scantron and don’t want to wait in the craziness of the Bookstore, they sell them here too!

It’s a convinience store, not much else to say. It is slightly overpriced but that’s to be expected and they take zotbucks.

It’s a campus sundries store, so why 4 stars? Well most importantly I can get a good cup of coffee for $ 0.99 (refills) and my 11^th cup is free. The coffee they use is Eco Grounds. Its an organic bean and the company fallows some pretty hip environmental values. I’m no tree hugger, but it feels good to purchase good stuff from good people. There’s a better known Seattle based coffee est. on campus, but I hate them. Their coffees taste sour and bitter… all the time… at all their establishments.
At one time I would have lauded their $ 5 lunch special, but the quality of the pre-​made sandwiches has suffered these past two years.
As a sundries store they have some expected choices for personal hygeine, school supplies, sandwiches, candy, snacks, cold drinks, and frozen meals.
I also like it here because the student-​staff are friendly and actually provide customer service. What? That’s right, some pretty good, old-​fashioned, customer service.

Despite the marked up prices, this is a nice little shop at a very accessible location. There are always plenty of friendly and efficient cashiers so the line (if any) is never that long, and they are always stocked up on goodies.

If you go to UCI and need a quick snack to take with you to where ever your schedule takes you, this place is pretty convenient. I’ve almost never seen a real line and it really quick. I come here when it’s on my way to a class and need a drink or something.
As a store it’s okay. I can get what I need but I feel if I lived in the dorms or anything I would expect a little more. Not to say I wont continue to come here on occasion, but you think you could get more out if it.

This place is definitely a lot cooler now with the addition of energy drinks. This place is the total convenience store, HOWEVER, I feel like this place is consisted of ONLY ITEMS THAT STUDENTS LIKE… not like a typical connivence store.
Not a big fan of this place, but it is the best convenience store on campus.
THIS PLACE NEEED MORE OF AN ENERGY DRINK VARIETY!
UNTIL THEN! ^-^

I used to live on campus, so Zot and Go was convenient, but definitely not convenient enough.
The hours are strange, and worse of all– the lines move slow.
It is a very convenient store feel, but kind of like a pricier, lacking, version.
If you live on campus and am without a car, this little store can be a lifesaver.

i come here in between classes.
get my water bottle. my coffee. chips. food. whatever i need.
there’s a bunch of interesting snacks that i never really seen before too. good assortment of candy and chips.

When I’m tired of the two places at which I normally find edible on campus, and I feel like taking a walk on a lovely day, I mosey over to Zot-​N-​Go to pick up some snacks. Usually I grab some pre-​made sushi (which is actually decent here) and some sort of Sobe or other from their gigantic selection of cold drinks. They have weird snacks… I love it!
Randomly, they also have various things that students living on-​campus might need like toiletries, medicine, condiments, etc. It’s very convenient… but you pay big time ($) for the convenience!

The only thing worth coming here for is the sushi. Everything else is grossly overpriced. Even if you’re in dire need of notebook paper, bandaids, detergent or allergy medicine, Albertsons’ isn’t even that far away. Exorbitantly priced items include cup noodles. 1 for almost $ 2? 1 apple or banana for $ 1? Hey, do we students look like we’re made out of money? Save your money and go somewhere else.

There’s a good variety of stuff at Zot n Go, there’s candy and gum, household items, beauty products, medicine, cereals, cookies, chips, drinks, canned soups to go, ramen bowls, fresh fruit, oatmeal, mac n cheese cups, sandwiches, ice cream, frozen meals and fresh coffee, tea and pastries.
Some of the stuff can get pricey, but if you pay attention, sometimes they have pretty good deals going on like the $ 5 lunch combo: sandwich, chips and a 20oz drink; and during finals week last quarter, energy drinks and chips were BOGO. There’s 99 cent bags for nuts, a piece of fruit, granola bars, and poptarts for if you miss breakfast. Also the yogurt parfaits and Grab N Go sandwiches are really good!
Skip the line at Starbucks and grab a coffee at Zot n Go. Its only $.99 if you bring in your own cup or mug, any size! My favorites are the French Roast, and Hazelnut. The bagels are pretty decent too and have my favorites like blueberry and cinnamon raisin. Toast it to your liking and add cream cheese or butter for just $.40 more.
And like everyone has already said, this place is really great for convenience. If you’re a girl and your time of month comes unexpectedly, there’s feminine products to choose from too, which I know for some people has really come in handy.
Oh, Zot bucks are also accepted so you know at the end of the quarter if you still have points, Zot n Go is the place to spend it. ;) Just stock up on random stuff, shampoo, or body wash, ace bandages, something.

I used to go here a lot this past summer since a majority of my classes were nearby at HH. One day, the guy ringing me up started busting up laughing. He apologized and said that it’s just ridiculous how expensive everything in Zot N Go was.
You pay a lot for convenience. It’s a great concept though. They even have a little section for toiletries, granted you’ll pay a fortune for it. I’d imagine it’d be great if you were a freshman without a car. I was and I’d certainly love to have a place like that on campus.
They also sell Harney and Sons tea. My favorite’s the organic green tea with coconut.

UM, I’m already paying $ 3000+/quarter for my education, you don’t need to break my bank account even more and make me pay $ 932 842 for a candy bar. It’s convenient, yes, but cmon, give us a break with the prices.
Besides the cost, the place is clean and has a big variety. They carry detergent, over the counter medicine, snacks, slushies, sushi, etc. You name it they got it (just be willing to pay big bucks for it!).

THE GIST: Better than not having a convenience store on UCI Campus!
OVERALL: It’s a 3 star on price and selection and a 4 star on convenience… but we’re not ready to give it a full 4. When you are hungry and really want some conven-​y food (packaged snacks, sandwiches, ramen, refrigerated drinks galore, donuts, etc…) and just don’t feel like going to the food court… then this is the place to hit up. Plus they have the random soap, toothpaste, and other thing you may not have picked up from home before heading back to the dorms and conveniently on campus. The hours of operation. not so convenient for a convenience store.

I’m going to be perhaps uncomfortably frank. Zot N Go has nearly everything: vegan fare, popsicles, exam materials, salsa, and maxi pads. Name it, they’ve got it, albeit for a slightly steeper price than say Rite-​Aid. But it’s right there on the side of the Student Center on campus. Can’t beat its convenience and variety.
Oh, and random tip: the bulk candy/​nuts is a good deal. I’m not entirely sure on the price per ounce, but I get a fair handful or so, and it somehow comes out to less than a buck each time. A pleasant mystery.
