We love this location, what a fun space shaped gas station! On occasion I've seen a food truck and gas prices are pretty reasonable! My hubby likes the mini mart located here too and I haven't heard any complaints about staff from him! We'll continue to come back whenever we need a fill up, it's in our city after all! SYOY! :-) read more

A year later and still the same "I don't care, I just work here" customer service attitude. What's worse now is that they charge you the same price as a credit card when you use your ATM. As if California gas prices aren't bad enough. I guess I'll keep driving a little further down the road for gas. read more

Came in on 2/9/26, located on the corner of Greenback Lane and Pecan Ave in Orangevale, CA. My wife asked me to get some money for her event that night so I quickly parked and entered the mini mart. Cashback fee is $2.99 and to use a card is $0.49 emphasizing they rather have cash transactions. I remember when this gas station staff and owner always had a great and courteous demeanor but the new owners are rude. I rather take my business elsewhere. read more

Gas station section has been closed for over 2 week. Mini-mart is open, sort of, has odd hours. Some days it is open for two hours, other days it is 8 hours. Employees will not give me or other customers an answer on when it will be fully open again. Lack of communication. Not impressed with new owners. I would have hoped 10 months of ownership would have fixed the kinks in their system. Had issues this spring with their pumps. read more

since this place changed ownership they now have dynamic pricing, meaning they don't honor posted prices for anything in the connivence store. something might be $1.99 one day and $4.99 the next day and if you question it you are told to get out! stay away this place will rip you off!! read more

Seriously but where do you see this cool looking gas station? Nevada! Area 51 or one of those small towns on the route from Las Vegas to Reno. We got one here in our Orangevale's backyard! How cool is that! Anyway I pumped gas at this location many times and service is always great. As you walk inside there's drinks, snacks, ice cream and much more. I saw the same cashier the last few times I pumped gas and he's been great. There's not much more to add and I'll leave a 5 star review! Stop by and get some gas or a snack if you're in Orangevale area! read more

I would give less than one star. I have been going to this station for many many years. Mainly getting propane. On December 24 at approximately 1030am I arrived to get propane. Went in to let them know and a heavy set man with a hole in his sweat pants was on his phone. He said he seen me and will be right out. While I was waiting 2 others showed up for propane. He took one man ahead of me who had 3 tanks to fill ( I had one). I said I was first and so did one of the other men. Sweat pant man barked at me saying " you put yours in the wrong place, I can't fill it there". All he had to do was ask or better yet, move it the 6 feet to the proper location and advise me it's best to place it here. As he was filling the other man's tank I put mine where he said and the other customer did the same. ( In all the years I have been patronizing this place never had anyone tell me the place to put it and there is no markings or signage ) Then after it was filled and paid for I told him that was bullshit you took the other man ahead of me. He said "you must be mad about it". I said yes. This is the first bad review I ever made. I usually just do not revisit the establishment if I get bad service. I like to spend my money at local businesses not chain stores. I will be going somewhere else. read more

This is one of the coolest gas stations ever I mean for God's sex check this place out The service is great professional attitude and a good place to stop in and it's a spectacle to look at where else can you find a gas station like an orbit read more

Wow a 20lb bag of Ice is $10.97. I said really to the clerk and he didn't respond. When he first started to ring me up he entered $3.99 for 7lb bag but changed it to $10.97 for a 20lb bag. I purchased a lotto ticket and he said he couldn't add it to the register, so I had to pay the $2.00 in cash. I was in a hurry so I paid it but I will never go there again! Especially they are they are going to price gauge their customers. read more

Just upped their price by over a dollar a gallon on propane.. was similar to others before, now way more expensive... do t go there for bulk propane.. Walmart across the street is cheaper read more

I have been coming to this place ever since I was in 5th grade. Although they have changed the inside, it still has all the nostalgia and memories floating around it. I come here often to pick up some snacks and to get some gas on my way to Folsom. Plus, I like to support a local business and not the big conglomerate Walmart who don't know how to treat their employees. read more

Orangevale Orbit Gas & Mini Mart - Gas Stations Near Me - Orangevale, California

Love the orbit! If you want a taste of Orangevale, go here. The debit/credit card reader has been "out of service" for about ten years but it makes you go inside to get the full orbit/Orangevale experience. read more

I love the look of this place but it super rundown. The transients hanging around there will make me drive further to get gas. It's a landmark and I wish they would clean up their act, painting the roof would be a start and getting rid of the transients would make me a regular customer. read more

This is one of a very few "Googie" style buildings left in Sacramento (or California, for that matter). Take lots of photos -- there will come a day when all of the original Googie structures are gone... read more

I worked at the Orbit about 16 years ago, after my day job at Roy's TV and Appliance. I've always wanted to skate the roof...

I have been going to the orbit since I was 11. It's got the small town feel that Orangevale is starting to lose. The gas prices are generally too high, but sometimes (rarely, but occasionally) they have gas for $0.10 cheaper than anyone else! If they were more steady in their prices, I'd go there more often just to support them. Usually, they're too expensive though. read more

i love this place, but their prices are a few cents more the ampm down the street and they close hecka early! otherwise, this is the only place i go to get propane! read more

So last night i ran out of gas and was unsure of where the closest gas station was so my trusty iphone with a yelp ap saved the day! i found orbit was .3 miles away so i called them and they were closing in 4 minutes. I ran (boy am i not in shape) and made it there at closing time but the guy waited since i told him i was coming and needed gas. Orbit is a funky looking building prob built in the 60's. You cant miss it if your drive by. read more
