“Consistently good gas prices, particularly if you’re willing to pay cash. Tends to be on the lower side of prices for debit/credit, and one of the least expensive in either Goleta or Santa Barbara when paying cash (all fuel grades). There are four gas stations at this intersection and if you’re paying cash this one will definitely be the least expensive.”

“My neighbor brought me in here when we were on the hunt for the ingredients to make Bloody Mary's. Not only did they have Clamato Tomato Cocktail but also all these other convenience store items. This is ideal since there is not many stores near the Dos Pueblos or El Encanto Heights neighborhood. Need firewood, they got it! Need a propane tank exchange, check!Need a good variety of wine, liquor, beer and condiments, yep!Need snacks or treats up the wazoo, done!The employee was welcoming but a bit reserved. I'll be sure to hit up this spot again when I need just a couple items at home.”

“I've tried the veggie burrito and the chilaquiles, with green and red sauce. The veggie burrito was good, it came with fresh broccoli and cauliflower and other veggies inside. The chilaquiles are filling, I think the red sauce version was my favorite. Its a small cafe in the front of a supermarket, nothing fancy. The prices are reasonable and you won't leave hungry.”

“While the store seems to be temporarily closed now, this location was one of my favorite 7 Elevens while it was open. The numerous cashiers who worked there were always very nice, helpful, and made great conversation. The aisles, along with the hot food bar and slurpee station were always well stocked, clean, and organized. Overall, a wonderful 7 Eleven experience!”

“Great for the basics for the average college student living in the surrounding dorms, but missing some things that would really elevate the store, such as a better fruit selection, more dairy free or vegan options, spices, salad dressings/condiments, etc. The coffee is literally the best deal going in IV though, and the paninis are insanely good for the price.”

“Tenaya is the best market I have ever been to. The coworkers were so kind and welcoming. The assortment of goods was top notch. Best javaccino I’ve ever had!!! Can’t recommend tenaya market enough.”

“The pharmacist at the Goleta Target location, Lina, went the extra mile and was extremely helpful in navigating a seriously difficult situation concerning my wife’s prescription on 12/16. My wife’s complex prescription had encountered a systematic error on the final day of her deadline and was unable to go through as originally planned. In order to prevent my wife from having to restart the extensive prescription evaluation process (if she missed this deadline), Lina spent an extra 30-40 minutes working with the prescription agency and working through a number of obstacles to ensure we could retrieve my wife’s highly needed prescription. She absolutely saved us in a dire time of need and we could not be more thankful for her taking the extra time to ensure we were taken care of and did not have to go through another extensive process. We will absolutely continue to use this CVS location located in the Goleta Target, as we have never received such careful and considerate attention with any other pharmacist or pharmacy.”

“This is a Mexican market/restaurant. The 5 stars are for the amazing breakfast burrito that keeps me coming back! Forget the fact that these are busy people running a business, regardless of the wait, the loaded breakfast burrito is the BEST in old town. There's another amazing spot that has loaded burritos but it costs you about $15 where here's it's about $10 depending on if you add extra toppings. I recommend you try the breakfast burrito with jamón (ham) you'll be full for breakfast AND lunch. Please be patient, yes the wait can be long at times; they take care of the grocery lines and the food order lines, but I promise it's worth the wait.”

“Finally, a legitimate drug store on this side of town! There's been nothing west of Fairview ever since the Rite Aid in the Plaza Shopping Center closed down some years ago. I enjoy this particular CVS as it's in a newer building, offers ample parking along with a drive-thru pharmacy. It's always clean and well-stocked, and pricing is reasonable. I was in here the other day and received the best customer service from Elaine, the cashier. She was so kind and friendly with me. Really made my day. I will he sure to come by here the next time I'm in need of a drug store item.”

“I recently moved fro. L.A. and the CVS stores customer service there are much better than S.B. So I've been trying to find a location with good customer service. I've been here several times lately and the service has been pretty good. A guy who works there named Johan has good skills. He's personable, patient, efficient and handles himself well. I've dealt with him twice lately. If you go there look for him and let him know he's being recognized....; )”

“This will be brief I still dont feel great. But HAD to THANK Julie, the Pharmacist and Yismar from Door dash for EVERYTHING! Their kindness, and helping me get really needed medication last night. What better way to help evaluate 'relocating' to an area than experiencing people who care when you're sick. Caught covid on flight from FL. Thumbs down to the selfish old guy coughing on everyone. I should've worn a mask. Julie & the Pharmacist (sorry too sick to ask ur name)YOU MADE IT HAPPEN. You ARE everything thats good in our world. Sincerely , 'forever grateful' Thank full for YOU!”

“Linda at CVS Hollister Village, stopped what she was doing to ring up my one item. In addition she found a $4 off coupon from my pharmacy purchase just minutes ago that worked and applied to my Mrs Myers dish soap. I paid .60 cents for Mrs Meyers dish soap. Thank you Linda for being such a kind and helpful person and CVS employee. I will definitely be a returning customer as well as someone who pays attention to the super long receipts - I just might find a great coupon and be able to use it. Great experience!!!”

“CVS is my go-to for Covid vaccines, since they seem to have them before other providers. While I'm there, I often find and purchase other things that I need and often find things I wasn't looking for but bought. Prices are competitive and they have a wide range of items.”
