This 7/11 used to be my regular coffee stop a few years ago before Yelp and I met. I never thought to review it for coffee and breakfast foods. Now, addicted to reviewing everything, nothing escapes my clinical eye and pen, not even a run of the mill somewhat dated convenience store just off Rt. 95 in Ewing, NJ.
I stopped in a few times lately and discovered that the passage of time had not been kind to this neighborhood fixture. It looked smaller and grittier than I remembered. Definitely in need of some TLC and paint. If this corner lot was larger corporate might consider a makeover, but given the already skimpy parking lot, there is no way they could enlarge it unless they were permitted to build a second floor (Now, that's a concept!).
Anywho, the coffee is still hot and cheap; the donuts and muffins always involved in some kind of deal; and the lottery machine humming with spitting numbers. Service is friendly, if accented. The coolers still carry most soft drinks known to man, and the old ATM still lurks in the back corner for the unwary.
No reason not to go there. It still serves a purpose in these far reaches of West Trenton. read more
