If there is one place in Novato where you can get fresh hot coffee 24/7 no matter what hours of the…read moreday, it's at Alco's Famous Market. I have gone there at all odd hours of the day like after midnight, during the afternoon, you name it and it's the consistency I like the most. Who likes to drink old coffee that sat way too long or sometimes it's made too strong or burnt? I don't and I been to all sort of different gas stations to get coffee like Circle K and the consistency is always a big issue. Even McD's fast food coffee is inconsistent depending on when you go. Not here! The coffee they carry is the Farmer Brothers' brand. I like the Colombian and French roast here. They may have carried another brand in the past but this brand is very good and popular. They also offer options on creamer flavors to select from but I generally get mine black without sugar. Nothing but pure coffee to perk me up! Keep in mind that this is a liquor store but they also sell hot food in the morning like sausages, bacon or turkey with eggs on croissant or English muffins. Donuts and pastries are also available and are made in the back all day but not positive. It really get pack with people in the morning. I've even seen truck drivers stopped at the center divider after getting off the ramp from south 101 to come here. You can park at the restaurant just to the right of this market when the lot is packed with cars. The people who works here are friendly and helpful. No problem for Spanish speaking patrons. I may go there soon for a hot cup of coffee after writing this review.

This is the "Loop Market" that's the food mart & Car wash of the Shell gas station at Rowland & S…read more Novato Blvd. It's near the freeway ramps, so that's why the gas prices are higher. Also. Shell is a Top Tier major fuel brand, and has a reputation for being pricey gas. I was at this Shell/ Loop Market at about 850pm on a Tuesday. The car wash was closed, so I couldn't review that. The food mart was very clean and well organized. It looks like they were doing re-stocking or maybe an inventory count. I was looking for something to eat, and Oh Look! They have hotdogs! $1.99 for 1/4-lb hotdog. So I asked for a hotdog for two reasons: (1) I like their hotdogs, and (2) I wanted to see how he serves it to me. I told the clerk about my weird hotdog experience at the Loop Market in Daly City last week. He didn't know why they served hotdogs like that. The clerk served the hotdogs on buns, on their own paper tray. Very nice, but the buns weren't fresh. The actual hotdog was fresh and juicy, and probably still within it's holding time for best quality. So in general, a good experience at this Shell station. The food mart is equipped with modern dispensers and fresh food tables. Also, lots of packaged foods are available. Note: Posted sign says no pump assistance for disabled persons at this station.

The CVS pharmacy is small, as most in Target are. It's closed 30 min for lunch a day, but I forget what time that is. I think it's like 1 or 1:30, so not a traditional 12pm. Just a heads up! The service is kind. Understandably, they seem a bit slow but I think every pharmacy is short staffed right now? Idk. The CVS Pharmacy is always near the vitamin aisles. I miss the bigger CVS pharmacies that offer flu shots etc. I wouldn't try to get any flu shots or vaccines here, only because it's a long line and most folks are after their medicines and then want to bounce. However, if they have more staff, or promote the space where that can be done, maybe!

One prescription filled and now I'm getting texts about refills when I'm not due for a refill. The first text asks if I want the pharmacy to message my doctor as I have no refills open. I text back NO since I don't need a refill. The next day I get a text that my prescription is ready for pickup. This happened multiple times. The last time I received the text, I texted back to stop harassing me. That their refill process is abusive and it finally stopped. I filed a complaint with CVS. They are pill pushers

Gas pump presumed to pump the $20, Put Navi on was in phone with my sister so to my fault I was not paying attention. When I jumped on 37 gas tank read 37 miles till empty.

Came back later to let store know maybe it's something wrong with the pump & they didn't want to acknowledge it. & had the line in the store looking at me crazy even though I gave off no Karen vibes, payed for my stuff and left.

I am disappointed that my car is still dirty . Lastly, I feel really robbed by Chevron. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND DO NOT GET FOOLED WITH THEIR CAR WASH AS I DID!!!!

He explained how to use tire pressure and show us how to fill air. I told him that I could do the rest after he showed us but he helped us to finish all 4 wheels.

Insomniacs and those looking for a solid cafe with good food beware…read more I've gone to dr insomniacs a number of times simply because it's the only cafe in downtown Novato. Like the previous reviewer said, this place is firstly overwhelming. The mile long menu boards are dizzying. I just want a solid Latte made with great coffee. I'm never in the mood to read a novel before I can order my coffee. The baked goods case looks like pure sadness and depression. They all look like they've petrified in that case for at least a month if not longer. You'd be better off at Whole Foods honestly and I say that begrudgingly because we all know the evil that took over that joint. It's shocking this place has this many stars, but I chock that up to Marin having some of the worst food options in the SF Bay Area. Such a shame because the location and the space are stellar. Stay far away from this doctor, they'll give you a case of the blues.

The scuffin is super tasty, fresh, and just the right mix of crispy edges and soft center. The store is super hip and fresh and restrooms are clean. Service is quick and kind. So glad this place is in Novato as it's a great 'third place' at a time where those are few and far between.
