“Best gas station experience ever! Gas is gas but I only use Mobil (which I find to be the least expensive). But, this Joe’s mart is great….good coffee, fancy machines for creamer/sugar/special coffee. Most especially, the nicest, kindest clerk with a fantastic smile, smiling eyes and great personality.”
“This establishment has significant potential; however, the specialty coffee machines, particularly those designated for iced coffee, frequently experience operational issues, despite the company's consistent promotion of its iced coffee selections.”
“i love this store. big selection of everything. very helpful employees and knowledgeable too. they helped me find the right device for me. prices are very fair. i won’t go to any other smoke shop in town now. thank you guys! :)”
“Counter person was very helpful, directed me to my items and cheerfully rang me up. Friendly and outgoing. I enjoy going there. Always have what I need or a worthy alternative.”
“They have stuff 7/11 sells I don't know why people dislike this 7 eleven so much I think it's just as good as any other 7/11 people are just whiney babies”
“There's a reason this store is always so busy. Going away to stay with relatives in Canada, so Of Course my insurance company changes all their rules. I haven't left the country since 2019 for obvious reasons. Too late to get a 90 day supply,which are their new rules, so I have to pay for it. Find out I have to go inside as well. I wish I had thought to get the man's name that helped me. He had previously told me on the phone to get a discount card and actually gave me given me the name GoodRX. When I tell you he worked so hard to get me the best prices, I'm not kidding. It's a wonder his hair wasn't on fire from all the key taping and work he did. I interacted with at least 2 other staff and they were all very nice and sorry I had to wait. I mean the place was packed, even though there were 2 other stores well, within driving distance. I've been to both of those other stores, the one on 112 and Woodside, and they threw out my prescriptions from my Dr. 3 times. So I had to switch to another CVS. I'm glad I did, thank you for making a stressful situation, a little less hard on me. I'm disabled and there were chairs to sit on and it was a really positive experience.”
“The team here is amazing, patient, professional and always pleasant. They are efficient and knowledgeable and solve any and all problems. I definitely recommend them to any local places.”
