“I don’t usually review gas stations, but this one deserves a shoutout! The staff here were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

“We always stop here on our way to/from the Elephant Seals. They have the cleanest restroom and plenty of snack/drink options. We stopped here specifically to get some T-shirts, but our size wasn't in stuck. Tammy was kind enough to let us know we could call and order the shirts we need, though we have to send in a check. Good to know though, because they're nice shirts. Excellent customer service each visit.”

“I want to tell you a little story. First time in Cambria and San Simeon. I needed gas. I was going to stop at the BIG station right off of Cabrillo highway, but very crowded. Drive a little further and saw this little place, not to busy, reasonable gas prices. Pulled in and decided I wanted to pay inside, hey! I'm pretty old, on vacation, and needed a Pepsi in the worst way. Well got the Pepsi saw the Cheetos and absolutely flipped when I saw the dark chocolate candy bar! Ok my story, I usually pay at pump so I just shove the card in and it does its thing, inside it's different, so I slide? Tap? Or wave over the machine and pray? I'm old I felt stupid, however the wonderful gentleman behind the counter was very patient, helpful and did not make me feel like I was defective. Even asked me if I wanted a bag. I will take the General store over any other place in Cambria. Thank you sir! You made my day!”

Prices can be a little higher than in larger towns but the location makes it very practical when you need fuel quickly. The store has basic snacks and drinks and the service is friendly. Overall it is a useful and reliable stop.”
