BP Gas Station

The outside looks like your basic crappy gas station, the inside is a totally different world. Beautiful woodworking, wine selection, pastries and coffee… It’s like crazy bizarro world. You kind of have to see it for yourself. Even if you just walk in and back out. O_​O

Not your typical gas station. Once you walk inside, you notice a deli/​café, a wine bar towards the end and one of the best selections of craft beer I’ve ever seen in a spot like this. They’ve got some fan favorites chilling in the coolers and other rare findings stocked in the isles. This place is a gem. What a pleasant surprise.

GREAT craft beer selection. They have freaking Rochefort 10 in the coolers!
and only a dollar more than you’d pay at a huge place retailer total wine (nevermind the fact it’s impossible to find at any other liquor store).
They have some incredibly rare 750 ml bottles too which you will not find anywhere else. Everything is very reasonably priced too, which is a shocker.
The cashiers are also really friendly. Love love love this place

So sad… I’ve got memories of this place when it was a Shell, and when the «Deli» inside was brand-​new, stocked with fresh Boar’s Head for subs on the way to Key Biscayne, kick-​butt coffee and café con leche to get your motor running, friendly employees, and reasonable gas prices.
Alas, ’tis no more.
Sorry to see an old favorite fade away.

As a gas station, it’s «whatever» — convenient and plenty of pumps. The selection of beer, wine, mineral water and energy drinks is excellent. The Spanish café/​deli has good food and coffee, although it is a bit pricey. I’ve eaten at the restaurant in back, El Carajo, and was pleased with the food and service. The wine room has some real gems if you’re into good wine.
My only problem with this place, and I’ve been going here for years, is that the people who work there and run it have attitude, sometimes they’re okay, other times they are completely disgusting — I find it amusing when service station clerks try to act pretentious. The place seems to attract an extremely conservative Latin crowd which likely has something to do with these pathetic little performances of pseudo-​snobbery. I just came from buying a large quantity of beer and wine, and the ladies at the registers didn’t smile or say a word. This place’s role in my life isn’t important enough to me to go out of my way to avoid it, otherwise I would — the selection and convenient location are its saving grace. If they improved their customer service and learned some manners, I’d give them four stars.

Feel free to come here if you’d like to spend more than what you are typically used to spending for gas or any other items you would get at a regular gas station. This place is a bit pricier than the other gas stations.

I really wouldn’t know anything about the gas or the prices, but what I can say is that the «quick mart» inside is something you HAVE to see. They’ve got a gourmet bakery stand, a number of prepared foods, and one of the best craft beer selections in the area.
Oh, and they’ve got a Spanish restaurant in the back. :)
