    I went here specifically for two things: a touchless car wash and to use a bathroom…read more I am grateful to have found a touchless car wash because I have a finish on my car that my detailer highly recommends a touchless car wash. I was somewhat satisfied with the car wash. However, my car wasn't as clean as I would've liked it to have been. The good thing was that my car didn't get scratched by brushes. I believe that they need to make the car wash go longer. I also went to this particular station because I needed to use the restroom. I went into the store, and the friendly cashier gave me the key to the outside bathroom. I walked out to the bathroom, and when I grabbed the door knob, the door opened without using the key. I was feeling a little anxious about someone opening the door while I was using the toilet, but that didn't happen. The person before me probably didn't close the door completely when they left the toilet. The convenience store was huge with lots of items to buy. Outside, there is air for your tires, and you can vacuum your car for a handful of quarters. I was impressed that they had buckets with water and windshield squeegees--I haven't seen very many squeegees at gas stations lately.

    The gas station was clean and easy to access, and the pumps worked fine. I did not have any…read moreproblems with the service, and the location is convenient. The main downside is the gas price, which felt pretty high compared to other stations in the area. It is okay if you need gas quickly or you are nearby, but I would probably check prices somewhere else first next time. Overall, not a bad station, just expensive.

    I regret this - I truly do…read more This has been my neighborhood my entire life. I've been away due to getting married, but since I've moved home, I'm sad to say that the ownership of this 7-11 location has radically changed. It used to be a nice, clean neighborhood resource of goods that you could run to anytime when you were out of something, like milk, eggs, maybe even a pretty individual rose for my grandmother when I had an extra couple of dollars. Tho owner I remember would greet everyone and always smiled, like a neighbor does. It was always a busy store and items were affordable (actually all of daily life was then). I went there this morning to grab some milk. I had forgotten to get some yesterday and needed some quickly. When I pulled into the parking lot, it was completely empty. I've NEVER seen a 7-11 parking lot empty in the morning! I walked in and felt like I was in a totally different country. The place was empty except for one cashier and one sales rep (I think). They spoke in another language and didn't even say anything to acknowledge me - at all. It was uncomfortable and I just ignored it. I went through the entire store. No gallons of milk. Only little, over-priced pints and quarts that were older, but still within their dates. I had to interrupt the conversation just to ask about milk. It was not a comfortable thing to do. The man at the register said he had none, other than little ones. The cold cases were not clean and the stock had changed dramatically! The store was now filled with all types of alcohol and crap food - what was still in stock. The store is now perfect for anyone who wants to be a drunk, party, or drink into oblivion. There was all sorts of alcohol - hard liquor to junk beer, and half of it had foreign labels. I'm old school, okay? I have lived here in Monterey Bay for 50+ years. I find the life here deteriorating in a huge way and this seven-eleven is a perfect example of the lowering quality of life in Santa Cruz, California. Everything is dirty, over-priced, and crappy. Very few options are offered now, and no one wants to be a warm neighbor and member of the hood anymore, possibly due to the lack of ability to identify with one another and communicate well. Thanks gubrnr noosm! Great job ruining the most beautiful state on earth. And big ups to the commyz in local gumt. Anyone left here who has been here for the last 30+ years understands this. But we are no longer a community. I will never enter the doors of this store again. What a wake-up call. Sorry, I need to shop in a store that is clean, at minimum.

    Really bad store at ocean st. A lot of people just standing out of store and parking terrible…read moreaccess. Avoid this store

    They import the Bindi brand of gelato from Italy. $6 for two small scoops. Options:…read more- Gelato: Black cherry, French vanilla, regular vanilla, hazelnut, pistachio, coffee, coconut, chocolate, strawberry. - Sorbets: lemon sorbet, strawberry sorbet, mango sorbet. 2/5: The pistachio gelato is meh. It has a very mild flavor: Bindi is skimping on the expensive pistachio. It also contains chopped pistachios that are rubbery from being exposed to the gelato. 4/5: The regular vanilla gelato is good. Nice flavor, good sweetness level. It's heavily stabilized; it has an elastic/chewy texture. 2/5: The Fratema sandwich $12 has grilled eggplant, mozzarella, pesto, semi-dry tomato. The flavors are meh; didn't work for me. 2/5: I did not like the cannoli $7.50. The shell tastes very processed, like it's loaded with trans fat. The filling has great texture but is way too sweet. 5/5: The double espresso $4.75 is excellent; bold, rich, and dark, without being sour or citrusy. they use Vergnano coffee.

    Really delicious couple sandwiches from Bottega del Lago! We weren't able to get our first choices,…read moreas these were the last two sandwiches left. But both were really solid, particularly the meat one with the pepper spread. The eggplant one was quite good, though I think it would have been just as good with just the mozzarella and pesto! Really excellent overall, would recommend
