This place is one of those guilty pleasures that I got to once in a blue moon. I used to live very…read moreclose to this store and would treat myself to the smallest slushee usually during the hottest days of summer. Now, I go here maybe once or twice a year. It's usually a hot day and it's usually just for a slushee. The employees here are super friendly and very helpful. They keep it clean and well stocked. It has the basics in the junk food department: chips, sodas, beers, hot dogs, and slushees of course. They've a decent salad and fruit selection, too. I can't say it's a special place but the warm welcome when you walk in the door and check it out give it something memorable.

How can 7-11 not have coffee available unless the machine is broken down. The cashier told me that…read morethey don't do coffee only cappuccino at this time. It was 8:30 at night and there was at least 10 people inside the store so they're not that slow. I'm driving 300 miles and this is a detour to keep myself awake. Unfortunately they did not have coffee available. I fully expected that the cashier would tell me that he would make some but he said no only cappuccino out of the automatic machine. Disappointed

Was headed back to concord,where the gas is only $3.65 a gallon. My tank read 40 miles till empty,…read moreso I only paid $20 at pump #7. 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. Next exit was closed do to construction & wanted to beat traffic. So I continued on. 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. So from now on I will be paying attention. Proceed with caution & attention!

I'm rating this as a convenience store, whatever that is. I sort of see it as where you go when you…read morewant to make a pitstop without actually taking a road trip. It's a kind of nostalgic novelty snack shop - a sip of a slurpee, a bite of barbecued corn nuts, and I'm transported back to my childhood in the 80s. We came by for National Free Slurpee Day which happens every July 11th - one small slurpee per customer. There were six flavors at the self-serve machine: lemonade, mandarin, cherry, blue raspberry, coke, and Capn Crunch (which actually tastes exactly like it - one sip of my daughter's and I'm craving the cereal, which I never eat). The other reason we ever come here is to get nachos. The machine was broken today, and another time we had to wait for it to get refilled, but there is no better, cheaper place to get your standard processed cheese variety of nachos. Donuts are also a draw. I have a weakness for jelly ones. Basically, if you're looking for a plethora of junk food choices...or a cold drink...and you don't mind paying slightly more for the sake of convenience (assuming it's close), this fits the bill. My experience at this location is that the employees are neither particularly friendly nor rude. I haven't had any issues. I'd be more concerned about the other customers - it attracts a certain element...which once in a while includes me ;)

At 2:45 p.m. today the employee who was working was rude and literally threw my change (coins and…read morepaper) at me. Apparently, he was upset that I couldn't remember a pin on a newly changed card and when I said that I would pay cash he was annoyed. This was not my first interaction with him. My previous interaction was with wanting to purchase a Google Play card and his machine was not working and he got upset with me when I suggested canceling the transaction and that I'd come back with cash. That was about a year ago, and this is the first time I've been back. Really awful customer relations. Today, I told him that I'd never had anyone throw change at me, and the people in line looked shocked that he did that. Something is fishy here for this man to get so upset over cash payments.

This pharmacy (1707 grant) has caring staff, but they are overwhelmed with the amount of…read moreprescriptions/customers they have. Two other pharmacies in Novato have closed in recent years and it seems like everyone has come here now. Lines are long and if you have any issues at pick up they direct you I er to drop off meaning you cannot get one stop resolution. You have to wait in line again. If they have an issue filling your prescription they won't call to ask you anything. It just won't be there when you arrive at pick up time. The Costco pharmacy and either of the other cvs stores in Novato would be a better choice at this point. I'm hoping to get all of my prescriptions transferred out asap. It would be great if cvs corporate would increase staffing and review customer service protocols with existing staff here.

I came to grab some nail polish and was prompted to push buttons over and over after saying no to their Care program. The employee insisted I said yes, I didn't. I'm still practicing covid safety and prefer not to be in ANY store, but if I am in one, it's quick. This was not quick. I asked three times to cancel the transaction and the woman insisted she couldn't do that and I had to give a credit card in order to cancel it. WHAT??

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.
