“Laurel Ln. Market is a neighborhood convenince-liquor store / bodega that is worth EVERY PENNY. (If you pay attention) It's incredibly well kept, always well stocked, and 100% entierly run the owner, Mike, a NEIGHBORHOOD local.
Under-appreciated and all but modern-forgotten is the simple blessing of a small town corner store... Somewhere you can walk to, run by someone who knows your name. A place to buy a beer OR a light bulb - where you can comfortably send your KID to get missing butter...(? and a candy bar) while dinner is already being made...”
“It's a liquor store...They do what you would expect.However, given their proximity to the beach, their prices could be much higher.The employees are all super nice, friendly, and welcoming.No reason not to go here, if you're trying to quickly pick something up before you go on the dunes.”

“5 stars for customer service on the phone! I wish I could remember the name of the woman that helped me. I'm going to be in the area when I need to pick up a medication. She ordered the medication for me and sent my Dr a request for the refill so he would send it to the correct location.”
“It looks a little shady from outside but this place is a landmark in Grover Beach. We call it the RC Cola place. If you look up at the building you will see an antique sign RC Cola that has never been replaced even during renovation. Friendly - clean - well stocked and right off Grand on 4th.”

“Transferred from another pharmacy that is closing stores. I’m very impressed by the CVS app and integration of app and store in filling prescriptions. The store pharmacy is very busy but the staff handle refill pickup smoothly, pleasantly and effectively. I’m glad to have CVS as my provider. Love the fully stocked store!”
“They sell my favorite MMC mango rim paste and the Mexican candy they sell is super good! The guy I was chatting with was super nice and friendly. We talked about alcohol and he has some great recommendations! He recommended the Wall Street candy Chamoy Melons and it was a game changer! The staff is very helpful and the store is very clean and welcoming! Definitely will be back!”
“My go to gas station. New pumping equipment looks nice and cleaner. Prices varies are reasonable. I always pay cash so I get the lowest amount per gallon. Credit card will be the last resort. Friendly cashiers. Downside for me is just that it's hard to enter or exit from it sometimes.. I recommend wait for a few hours to get gas to avoid traffic so if you have the same issue as me it wouldn't be a problem.”
“Well the bros at the ckunter there were so nice. N some rude guy came in to cause a commotion n I was there to help them 86 the guy. They were really grateful. Aslo one Time I was short during the early pandemic n I was buying TP and emergency food for.my first apartment... I was like 1.30 short but the guy gave it to me for free n I was able to pocket the money... that's the kind of stuff we need more of. God bless ?”
“A typical 7-Eleven that we visited for snacks on the walk back to our hotel. I would give it the usual 3 stars, but this one was special. Ayyaz was a great cashier, so much so that I recorded his name just for this review. He was very conversational with us, but not in an invasive way. He was a kind man, and seemed very knowledgeable about what he was doing. This was so different from other 7-Elevens I’ve been to, which have average to straight-up dismissive service. While I don’t expect too much from convenience store employees, customer service is an easy way to win over my stars. Ayyaz deserves a raise, or maybe even a job at a better place, lol. Overall, 4/5.”

“It always make me smile to see the employees of longs drugs on Maddonna Rd react to their customers. The store is very well organized which makes it easy to find what you are looking for. Thank you Cindy, Judy,and Jenica. Keep those smiles and we will keep coming back.”
“I just got a new CPAP machine and didn't have any distilled water, and I was looking around the store for it but couldn't find any. I asked Jemma if she had any and she quickly went to the back and got me a brand new 1 gallon jug of it. She saved me!”
“I hope you know INO IS THE BEST! and he is the ONLY reason I continue to pay this store for items. . He works SO hard and he is always so positive and helpful EVERY SINGLE time I come in for ice, or redbulls... he deserves ALL THE GOOD SHIFTS! and compliment from the owner for continuing to retain your shoppers. ! Cheers.”

“I love extramile cause i love my soft drinks. All gas stations here in slo make you pay at LEAST 2 dollars for any of their drink sizes but with extramile you have options. Not only that with their rewards program you get a decent discounts on the large size (their 3rd largest size and probally the most reasonably sized as well) and you also get your 5th drink free everytime. They also have plenty of decent deals on food and gas but drinks are for sure the best bang for your buck. Love you extramile you are the goat of gas stations”
“I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut; I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I'll just give you the money, and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I just can't imagine a scenario where I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut.”

“Good Pharmacy
Edit: The foul and unpleasant odor is gone
Old:
Good Service, but around 2 years ago a putrid fecal like stench started incubating and getting worse and worse and nothing has been done about it.”
“Great pharmacy! I’ve only had positive experiences. They are fast, efficient, kind, and helpful. Just tonight, they went out of their way to fill a prescription that I had accidentally sent to the wrong CVS - my fault, not theirs. Everyone behind the counter deserves praise.”

“With petrol being as high as it is in California, it pays to find a station with cash prices that result in lower fuel costs. It was $4.09 when I went which is crazy high under normal circumstances but compared to Shell or Chevron, it’s much less.
The cashier is awesome and good at his job. The convenience store part is very small so not a lot of choices and expensive but you’re paying for ....you guessed it, convenience.
As someone else mentioned, the gas pump doesn’t turn off when it’s overfilling so watch for it or underestimate your cost if paying cash.
Gas station is well lit with many pumps and has two entrances/exits so more people can get in and out without clogging the streets.”
“Convenience stores creep me out and as a rule, I do not go to them. We do go to this one for a certain type of soda and beef jerky that they carry. Always very nice people and they treat us (and our dog!) as if we are special to them. I appreciate that. Also-- it is clean and smells nice in there as well.”

“What I think is that customers should come in and see for themselves. Everyone had a chance to stay some choose not to. Some did not want to confirm with new rules. The owners are a nice young couple who are trying their best. They have brought in new merchandise and the store is spotless. I have worked here for 5 years and we do our best to please all people. I know if you come to me with a problem I try my best to solve it. I am one of the morning shift and would be glad to meet you.”

“As a fervent admirer of Bladee's distinctive sound, I couldn't contain my excitement when I heard he was coming to town. His ethereal melodies, combined with introspective lyrics, create an otherworldly atmosphere that transports listeners to a realm of emotion and reflection. And let me tell you, his live performance did not disappoint. When I heard he was preforming at 711 I knew i had to visit. It was awesome and I love this place!”
“The team at this particular CVS pharmacy (717 Marsh St in SLO) is very special. On several occasions since we moved here 3 years ago, they (Kim, Angelica, Deb) have gone out of their way to ensure that my son with extraordinary needs ALWAYS gets his medications. His life depends on these medications so it's important to understand how much this means. There are times when there are hiccups with authorizations at the physician office or the insurance company but the staff at this location ALWAYS goes out of their way to make sure we get what we need. That is not required of them. The target cvs left us out in the cold without a care as well as the cvs on broad street. I've watched the staff here interact with the customers and they are always joyous and kind. I'm todays world, we need more of that.”
“The lines for the pharmacy are often longer than ideal. But the staff throughout the pharmacy and store are really caring, communicative and friendly.
When I made a mistake regarding my prescriptions before a trip they really went above and beyond to help me fulfill them before my flight on an extremely short timeline; Which they definitely did not have to do. Really appreciative.”
“I went in to fill a prescription immediately after leaving the doctors across the parking lot. It was a day after News Year Day and they were very busy. It took about 45 minutes. Considering how long it took for the doctors office to send the prescription and then to get the insurance approval. Add to it the time to fill the prescription on a busy day, I was very happy. Considering the line at the pharmacy all the employees were very kind and helpful.”
“I’m so thrilled to have great coffee in town again. Great staff, fun and contemporary design that makes the space cohesive and still reminds you where you are (the beach), serving Black and White espresso, fun and approachable food menu.”
