“I have lived at Dolley Madison for over 20 years and love this market. Its small, but for its size, they have a good variety of items. One thing I would like to see them do is yank out the Blue Bunny Ice Cream, errr Blue Bunny Frozen Dairy desert freezer and sell REAL ice cream, and not the frozen dairy desert garbage. I have a recommendation, a brand that is local to the east coast, been around for years and really needs more places in NoVa to carry the brand.HERSHEYS ICE CREAM.Its REAL Ice cream, they have great ice cream, and ice cream novelties. They have a great variety of products and with the limited amount of places that sell it, if you were to sell it and word got out, it will sell, it will be a successful switch. Look at Vienna Drug Store. They are ALWAYS. selling out of MANY of the most popular varieties. I know because I usually buy them out of some of their products on a regular basis. Please support an ice cream company that still believes in ICE CREAM and not one of the many "Frozen Dairy Desert" Companies. But great store, friendly people, good prices and they pack a lot in such a small space.”

“One of the better gas stations in the area. Prices are usually very good, easy to get in and out of despite being at a busy intersection, pumps run fast, and there are plenty of them. I get gas during rush hour regularly and I have never had to wait for a pump.”

“This 7-11 was EXCEPTIONAL!!! Not only was the clerk friendly, but also super helpful. Very clean and tidy which made finding what I was looking for simple and easy. I was pleasantly surprised when he offered to brew me fresh coffee and suggested using the coffee machine that grinds fresh coffee beans to make a variety of different coffees. What a game changer! It was so delicious, far better than a $7 cup of coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. I wish my 7-11 in New Jersey had this coffee machine! He even took the time to show me the settings and recommended some of the coffee choices he enjoys. Unfortunately, I forgot his name, but it did start with an “S”—a younger gentleman. Moreover, it was incredibly refreshing to have someone go the extra mile to ensure my visit was enjoyable, which is very rare these days. The clerk's dedication to superb customer service truly made a difference. If I am ever in the area again, I will make sure to visit and support this establishment. Thank you again for an amazing cup of coffee and exceptional customer service!”

“This 711 is one of my favorite stores near my apartment because the employees regularly welcome me as well as every pleasant cashier keeps the store reasonably clean.The only big downside of the store is that the pump does not always accept my card. So I had to step inside, thinking it's a card issue, but I'm not the only one who has this problem. i hope they fix it.”

I was getting some allergy relief medication for my son and he walked me through every single choice with the best explanation ever I feel like this is an old-time Pharmacy and you have a doctor on the premises advising you.
