“Establishment owner is very friendly, easy going. Same with most employees. Competitive prices. Decent selection. Gas does not make my truck run like crap, unlike some other places...”

“A solid rest stop after Yosemite. The bathrooms are in good condition. The women's bathroom didn't have toilet paper and we let the employee know and they replaced it immediately. Major props to the employee working there as they were juggling a few customers during this as well. It's your typical gas station but with some hot foods available. They looked good but we didn't try it as we were already on our way to eat else where. Overall, a great spot to rest or grab snacks and drinks before you head to Yosemite or back to the Cities.”

“Ordinarily I don't even stop in Coarsegold but I needed gas and I am so glad I did. I was just walking in for a drink and the lady behind the counter was so nice and patient, I ended up chatting with her for like 5 minutes about the area. Their pastry case is not something I expected from a simple gas station the crossiants were actually really good. Everything just felt so welcoming and easy I had to grab a sandwich for the road and it was perfect for hitting the trail. Definitely gonna make this my regular pit stop from now on becuase it honestly made my whole day better.”
