7-Eleven

I got my current job at the first of the year, which is located just down the hill from this store on Camino Ruiz. After finding a good route through the crowded neighborhoods and ungodly number of grade schools in the area, I found myself in need of a quick snack one morning before work. Not expecting too much, I slid in to this 7 – 11 and was pleasantly surprised.
There was a great selection of fresh donuts, sandwiches, burritos and their hot food was all fresh and ready to go at the time I was there, around 7:45 am. Their coffee station is huge with many selections of coffee and well-​stocked condiments. They also have Amazon lockers there, so I can pick up my stuff at lunchtime instead of having it delivered to my front porch at home. If you are an Amazon Prime member, and have not utilized their delivery locker system, it’s great.
I’ve been in many times since and will continue. Nicole and Kathy are usually on the counter when I stop by in the morning. Always a pleasant experience at this store. Clean. Well stocked. Fresh food. Great service. I never imagined that I would be writing a review of a 7 – 11 store!

This is hands down my favorite 7 – 11. Awesome friendly staff, always stocked up, and Nicole is so amazingly helpful, and very attentive! 6 stars

Super convenient if you’re in bind. The gas prices are comparable to other gas stations in the area. I’ve never had any issues when I get gas here. It does get busy sometimes with the high school nearby.
We typically come here for Red Box (renting movies) and it gets busy! Sometimes the line is 2 – 3 people deep and it may take forever just to pick up a DVD or return one. At least there’s 2!

Love the convenience of this location — Gasoline, Red Box, Glacier and Coffee! Am a big fan of the cappuccino and hot chocolate :)

Nasty, rude management that needs to learn a few lessons in customer service! Management needs to keep their personal comments to themselves. No respect at all. This place will never get my business ever again!

I go to this ⁷⁄₁₁ consistently to get gasoline or rent a red box. The service in these regards has always been great!
The price of gas at this location is almost always the lowest around of similar quality gas stations, which I appreciate.
It’s conveniently located, and a great place to go for gas and it has a red box… BONUS!

They have a redbox so I’m a fan! All of their iced coffee drinks are great on a hot summer day.

At the corner of Gold Coast Dr and Camino Ruiz.
This location has everything you need 24 hours a day including a Redbox, gas pumps, snacks and drinks.
Never too busy and plenty of parking spots.
Remember to buy that slurpee on a hot day.

This is your full service 7 – 11.
It has two RedBox machines outside, Amazon lockers, GAS & that machine to pay your bills if you need.
Outside of that it is your basic 7 – 11. People are friendly and it’s always clean.

Kinda hard to write a review on a 7 – 11 because it’s 7 – 11. Used to go here as a kid because of the street fighter arcade game. Very convenient for me because it’s down the street from me. Friendly staff. Place is pretty clean. But the prices for bottled sodas and water are double that of the grocery store. I guess it evens out because the gas is so cheap. Nothing else really to say about this place. Good in the neighborhood

Not your average 7 – 11! Kevin and his father own the place, as far as I know. If you make a request for something then they will make a genuine effort to get it for you. They are more interested in having great customer service and competitive prices than hiking up prices and making a landslide profit. Because, you see, it is better in the long run to have a strong and loyal customer base who will keep coming back. I’m gonna miss these guys when I love to North Park, but if I’m ever in Mira Mesa again, I’ll be sure to stop be. It’s a shame they don’t own another location. Or maybe they do…

$ 1 slices of pizza and deli sandwiches are a perfect replacement when you forget to bring lunch.

Gas, Food & Beverage, Lottery, Smokes, and Booze.
Bare necessities for any occasion and open ²⁴⁄₇
WIN!

Of course you would have an Abu there.
5 stars just because you made me laugh when I walked in.
Here here!
I’m wid it.

My corner 7 – 11. I love it, not much else to say it has everything I need it I need it fast and it’s even a gas station.

This 7-​Eleven is probably the oldest convenience store location in all of Mira Mesa. When I was a kid, I’d come in here after school (Mason Elementary, holla!) to hang out and play arcade games.
While the arcade games are gone, the store’s gotten bigger, and I’m a whole lot taller, this 7-​Eleven location is still going strong. Once in a while, I’ll come in here for a drink and maybe a bite (although, I do wish it was self-​serve here, like am/​pm). And of course, the Slurpees… often imitated, never duplicated! While I have to limit myself when ordering one, they’re still just as good as I remember.
I suppose it’s nice to have a convenience store near the apartment complexes and homes off of Gold Coast, so that’s a plus.

WOW this 7 – 11 keeps getting better and better. I was at my friends place and bbqing and uh oh. someone forget to refill the propane tank. It’s 7:00 and we have hungry people waiting! Don’t waste the korean bbq! what to do!!!
I called up 7 – 11 and they sell propane! $ 21.99 for a tank. Not too bad at all :)
AND.now they have a red box here! Boy what a lucky girl. My domo cup, my propane AND a movie!!!

This is the closest business from my house. Therefore, it really is the most convenient store for me. It’s not a mom-​and-​pop offering; rather, it’s about as far from it as you can be. Nonetheless, it’s important to me, and it’s worthy of being my 200^th review.
Just about every morning I’ll come in to 7-​Eleven and pick up something that I totally don’t need. Kit Kat for breakfast? One-​third pound Big Bite? Cheeseburger Bite (such a weird concept)? Or sometimes I just fill up my Scion with gas priced so variably that sometimes it’s the one of the cheaper choices in Mira Mesa but more often than not rides a little higher than even Shell or Chevron and without any predictable trend.
After work, I would likely stop by the same 7-​Eleven and pick up a Diet Pepsi… maybe another Kit Kat… maybe a taquito (that’s often a bad idea because they don’t even taste good). Maybe I’ll even pick up a 40 of King Cobra or Olde English 800 if I want to unwind ghettotastically.
Next, there’s pre-​parties. If i’m off to a shindig in the evening, I’ll probably make another stop for some caffeine. A 16-​ounce Zero Carb Rock Star (known as «blue can Rock Star» by me) is usually my poison, but when I need an even bigger pick me up, I might go for the 32-​ouncer, or, if I’m ballsy, a bottle of REDLINE. One full bottle of that stuff will make you want to dance to every Pitbull reggaeton hit, maybe punch a stranger in the face, and when all that is through, do your taxes. But I digress…
Needless to say, going to the Gold Coast 7-​Eleven is a part of my life. I’ve met every single employee there, and even though I don’t actually know their names, I know them all. I see the same customers here, including the employee from Phở Ca Dao who always takes our order — he buys his Lotto here. Sure in the weird hours it’s pretty ghetto, but inside it’s always nice and clean, the lines move fast enough, and it’s super convenient for me.

So, I was hesitant to review 7-​Eleven at first. The reason is because I think all 7-Eleven’s are the same. However, since I have not been to every one, I will review this one.
I go every day, unlike some other people who only go on the weekends. I get my coffee there. They make it better than I or any of my co-​workers can make it. That and they have non-​dairy creamer. Delish. Plus, there are always little elementary students buying their morning juice. That says a lot about the comfort and safety of this 7-​Eleven. The facility itself is nice and clean.
Their managers are a bit quirky. They are cool though. They didn’t make me take out my license when I bought beer there.
I don’t get my gas there, but I can see the convenience in having a gas station near by.
Lastly, they have pretty much anything you need on the fly. Go there when you don’t have the time or sobriety to go any further.

I’ve warmed up a lot to this place because it’s only a block away from where Wilmar D. lives. Whenever we’ve needed ice, or soda, or beer, or a pink frosted doughnut with sprinkles, we’ve been able to get here in less than a minute. The cashiers are quirky, but all have been nice, even if they talk about random things :)
I also really like how this place has a gas station. Though it’s being remodeled right now, this location usually has some of the cheapest prices for gas.
I’ll be back. Probably this weekend. and the weekend after that. and the weekend after that. :)
