“This place was fabulous, I drove past it, and I had to back up, and I’m glad I did. I wish I had a cooler, I would buy their specialty cuts of meat, but I did buy a few other things, including hearts of palm that I dearly love. Anthony was great, we struck up a couple of conversation with him about Brazil and it was absolutely wonderful! I WOULD RECOMMEND”

“We stopped by Pier Market in San Clemente for some snacks and ended up finding my daughter's new favorite place. She is obsessed with all things Squishmallows and dumplings, and this store felt like the mother lode of dumplings for her! They had an impressive selection, including mini, regular, and jumbo-sized dumplings. The staff was incredibly patient and kind while she spent what felt like forever trying to decide which ones to get. They never rushed her and were great throughout the entire process. The experience made her day, and now all she talks about is going back for more dumplings. If you have kids who love collectibles, squishies, or dumplings, this is definitely a fun stop when you're in San Clemente. I highly recommend this store!”

“When I lived in San Clemente, this was my spot. I now live in Dana Point but find myself still coming here 85% of the time. Some of the best prices but here is the real winner for me: Most discount gas stations are not well kept, clean and only provide water with beat up squeegees for wondow cleaning. This station clearly adds glass cleaner for their customers and is usually well stocked with paper towels. The attached store is always kept clean & orderly.”

“This gas station is always crazy busy & people can get really weird about whose next at pump. The lot is huge but still gets crowded & confusing who's going where. The staff is awesome though and their beer is super cold ! They are always stocking and cleaning when not waiting on customers. Their car wash is pretty good always crowded though they also have have an a re wa for you to vacuum your vehicle out it's out of the way of the craziness which is cool!”

“The staff at this CVS aren't really the warmest I have met, but I'm not there to add to my Christmas card list. The staff is efficient and knowledgeable. Also, they seem to work hard on getting you in and out of there without mistakes. I only wish it was a drive-thru.”

She’s always helpful to us customers asking where’s this, and that. She’s kind, empathetic, and you can see she truly loves helping others. If you need Anything in Cosmetics, or anything else from this store on Camino De Los Mares in San Clemente, Chela is your Girl. CVS EXECUTIVES, Please give Chela a raise or promotion! Just don’t assign her to a different store!”

“I've filled up a few times at this station, and maybe even bought a soda or two with nothing out of the ordinary happening, good or bad.Today I got a car wash here. My car was extra dirty from a long road trip; so, I paid extra for the tire cleaning. The car came out looking good as new, but the top of the rear tires didn't get completely cleaned. I mentioned this to an employee (possibly the owner). He said, "stay right here," then ran into the store. He came back with a code for a free "Ultimate" car wash. I went through again and my my car and all for tires look great.He went above and beyond for me, and I definitely appreciate his gesture... 5 Stars!”
901 Avenida Pico, San Clemente CA 92673
“Very pleased with my car wash. Didn’t have to wait long at all and it beats spending 20 minutes at a hand wash. Definitely satisfied with my car wash just wish the vacuum was included but that’s ok”

“Went into CVS this evening and had the pleasure of meeting Michael. My mom is in her late 70s and she was looking for a particular item, she had done a ton of research and said this was the location where they had it in stock but couldn’t find it on the aisles. She met Michael and from the moment he greeted us with a smile and a kind “Hello” we knew we were in good hands. He walked the aisles with us, answered questions, helped us find the right product and helped us at checkout. Sometimes it’s not just what you do but the way that you do it. We drove home talking about how genuinely kind and helpful he was and how he delighted us in our experience. If you visit this location, I pray you meet Michael!”
