7-Eleven Food Stores

It was hot and I am entitled to my sugar overload of an excuse to cool down. They had a big me sale so I took them up on that. Good customer service.

My review of this 7 — eleven isn’t going to differ too much from my other 7 — eleven reviews. It’s mostly because I can’t remember ever walking into a 7 — eleven and having a lasting, less than average experience. Every time I’ve walked into one, within that first minute if not immediately, I’m greeted and chatted up. There’s never a long line here nor an issue finding a parking spot to quickly get in and get out. Also, I really like how clean it is here! No nasty dried up spilt coffee on the counter when you venture in? Love! The two guys I’ve encountered on my occasional stop ins are both very friendly and helpful. The one thing here I did notice that was out of the usual standard in 7 — elevens was that they have an (wait, was it an ipad?) in front of the registers loaded with [one of the thousands new apps] Belly. I think it’s great that they’re keeping up to date with trends.

alright so one night i wanted glazed donuts and sometimes they’re out of them which sucks but it happens i get that
so i call them and i ask for them to make sure they have at least 12 donuts (i was v hungry) and they ask ‘Is this spencer?‘
THEY KNEW ME
i also have a very loud, nasally voice that may be considered ‘annoying’, ‘over-​the-​top’ or ‘like nails on a chalkboard’ but i have also invested a 401k equivalent into 7-​eleven glazed donuts and they remembered
it’s nice to feel appreciated

It’s a 7-​Eleven like any other, other than when I showed up, some dude with a homemade Deadmaus helmet-​thing was outside, asking people if they knew who he was. I was, apparently, the first to get it right, which pleased him quite a bit. Why was he out there? I don’t know. He knew the guy working the counter inside, and that employee shrugged the whole thing off when I asked him about it. Also outside the store was about half a dozen people sprawled around drinking Red Bull and Pabst (see the photo I added to peep the whole menagerie). They looked like rejects from The Whiskey circa 1988. Very weird, overall; the mechanic across the street said weird stuff is always going on over there, but nothing dangerous or harmful. As for the product, the cherry Slurpee spigot was one of those that dispenses too fast and ends up spraying everywhere, and judging by the red mess that was around, I wasn’t the only person to have that issue.

(Snacked 8÷25÷12 SA @ 5pm): They’re no longer on every street corner back when I was younger, but they still have the sweet icey treat I love!
My friend and I had just finished a dim sum lunch, when I had to check on something at my friend’s place in nearby Echo Park while she was out of town. Suddenly, my said, «Man, I can go for a Slurpee,» and of course I replied, «Where’s a close 7-​Eleven?» Before I knew it, we headed down Sunset Blvd., turned onto Silver Lake Blvd., and voila, the unmistakeable logo on our left-​hand side caught us like the tracker beam on the Death Star when it pulled in the Milennium Falcon! Props to our Unilocal app.
Neither of us had been to this location before, but it didn’t matter. One thing we knew was that all 7-​Elevens had Slurpees; it’s just a matter of which flavors they had! We bolted from the brave little toaster and made a beeline to the back of the store where the Slurpee machine was located. Before us were six flavors: Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, Fanta Orange Xplosion, Fanta Sugar Free Limeade, Fanta Blue Raspberry, and Fanta Grape. I decided to create a four-​flavor colorful concoction (excluded Coca Cola and Fanta Grape), while my friend went for a suicide (all available flavors). Armed with a large size cup and dome lid in hand ($ 1.69 ea.), we were like artists as we carefully mixed our palate of colorful ice. A slide of the white ball knob for each flavor produced the «sheesh» sound, and before we knew it, our drinkable masterpieces were complete! We admired them for a brief second before we had to allow the gentleman behind us his turn at the Slurpees. FYI… the store also had all the usual snack and drink items, along with travel size toiletries, and you can’t forget the hot dogs as they rotated on the steel grill. Oh thank heaven…
It wasn’t until we got back to my toaster when we finally tried our creation. With a couple hard and fast slurps, we got the mandatory «brain freeze» (a must experience with this drink). At this point, with the amount of flavors mixed in, the taste was pointless. Sure, I liked to keep mine clean and didn’t swirl it around, so I would taste each flavor independently until the melt began. But the pure pleasure was in the brain freeze, the shot of suger into your system, and the refreshed coldness of it all. Mission accomplished!
Since we served ourselves, the only service to speak of was the cashier, and it was good. Nothing really more to say.
Parking was sparse as there were only six or seven actual spots. Otherwise, you kind of made your own spot or tried parking on Silver Lake Blvd. (good luck with that!). The store is located on a very small cross street (Effie).
Overall, 7-​Eleven was a wonderful memory from my childhood, but adulthood has taken me away from this experience, except for such spur-​of-​the-​moment instances like this was… and that was more than enough at this point in my life. Based solely on the Slurpee, I found completely value (although probably not nutritional) as noted by the prices I quoted above (total bill was around $ 3.50; no tip required). The atmosphere was your standard convenient store with all of the drinks along the walls, food snack and such on the various aisles, magazines at the pay counter; you get the idea; maximized space in order to make a sale. The attire was completely casual, so I was in a t-​shirt, boardshorts, and flip-​flops. Come on, it’s a convenient store! And, although my friend paid for the Slurpees, they accepted my credit card of choice… AMEX!

These guys are just too nice to not give 5 stars for this place. Best 7 – 11 anywhere and it’s a block from my place. How lucky am I!

Just your average 7-​Eleven food store. They have a Redbox so that’s a bonus. The staff is nice and I haven’t had any issues here. Grab a movie, grab drinks and snacks and I’m gone.

Like the commercial goes «Oh Thank Heaven!», whenever I’m running late to work and just know I don’t have the time to go to Starbucks, this convenient 7-​Eleven on my way to work always hits the spot with there buffet of coffee and actually decent baked goods and always at the low price of under $ 4.00 and since this location is in the über trendy silverlake area, always more then one cutie at the coffee station, Good Morning Ms. Jessica!
