Decided to come to the 7-eleven after I found another free air spot at a gas station (review coming soon). Man, I love this place. Too soon? Maybe. While I was in here, I asked one of the employees or owners about whether or not they'll update their products to be more wholesome and inclusive of everyone's food interests like the ones in Japan. He said there have been talks to do this. He said this one was just renovated in October. The service at the register was pleasant and welcoming. Which is much different from what I've experienced in the past. I'm impressed and had to take a moment to post this review for them. See ya next time, 7-Eleven! read more

The people that work here are the best!! So friendly and kind. The aisles are big and the place is always neat. Very happy this is in my neighborhood. read more

I'm in the area for a conference and wanted to pick up some drinks and snacks. The hotel recommended the 7-eleven, so I stopped by after lunch. They have a good selection of products and the shop looks clean and new. There were a lot of half packed Instacart (?) or similar orders scattered around in plastic bins, which was a little odd, but I was able to get everything I had wanted and head back to the hotel. There were a lot of items on special or 2 for X price, so I got 2 of several things. read more

Nazul was awesome! Such a nice guy. We came in the evening and both my husband and I were appreciative of him.

This is a really nice 7/11! A nice, clean inside and outside (hopefully it will stay that way even when it's not new anymore), friendly staff members, and an excellent beer selection make this a great location to grab necessities for people in the Rosemont or northwest Old Town areas. Some non-standard items (for 7/11, anyway) seem to be on hand as well, so it's more than just your typical convenience store. A good amount of parking is available, though if you can walk here, that would be your safest bet. Overall: 5.0 stars ---------------- Pros: - Great beer selection! - Beautiful interior/exterior, clean. - Friendly staff. - Some interesting non-standard items as well. - Good amount of parking. Cons: - None, really. Hopefully it won't fall apart like some 7/11s do after a year or two of being open. read more

7-Eleven - Decent beer selection for a 7-11. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Big thanks to mike and A /C keeping the place nice and clean good service highly recommended

This is my favorite 7-Eleven in the area. It's very new and conveniently located. The employees here are very friendly and always willing to help. It's always really clean and organized as well. The only thing that bums me out is there's no gas station here. It's just a convenience store. Yeah, there's a gas station right across the street, but it closes so early! The stock changes quite frequently. Some days I'll go in and they'll have cheese Munchies, and some days they won't. But there's no empty space there where the Munchies are supposed to be. They'll replace it with another product. This also happened to me with turkey jerky, corn nuts, and some candies. It's kind of weird, but I'm into the ever-changing stock. There's a decent drink selection, even though they don't have 40s here. Or diet Arnold Palmers. Or big cans of Coke Zero. Actually, scratch that. The food selection trumps the drink selection. I swear, whenever I go here, the Slurpee machine is in the process of freezing the flavor that I want. :( There are like five flavors here, though, so I don't mind settling for second best. Plus they have Choco Tacos, so half the time I'll abandon my Slurpee craving at the sight of one of those bad boys. The hot food here is surprisingly good. I've had the wings, loaded Doritos, and pizza so far. The pizza is definitely worth the price, as are the wings. I'd pass on the Dorito things. They keep all the hot foods warm, but they're very willing to make you something fresh if you ask. Everything (including the pizzas) only take about five minutes in that magical superpowered microwave of theirs. Their nachos are good, too. Standard gas station nachos. There's always parking when I go, despite the small lot. A lot of people are in and out, so they don't take much time. What kind of makes me uncomfortable though is that there is always a security guard present and watching the store. I've never seen any sketchy fellows enter, despite coming here at all hours of the night. I don't know if I've just been lucky and avoided the dangerous situations, or the 7-Eleven is being proactive/paranoid. Regardless, it makes me a bit uncomfortable shopping here because of that. But it's one of the nicest 7-Elevens I've ever been to (and thanks to the security guard, perhaps one of the safest?). read more

7-Eleven - a view of a grocery store - Convenience Stores Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

See all

We went in, as we often do, my young child and I, to buy sodas and hot dogs. We then sat on a bench across the street, at the entrance to the Potomac Yard Park, consuming our purchases. My child suddenly had to make potty. I asked to use the 7-Eleven's restroom. They said it was not open to the public, even though we were frequent customers. My child as a result made potty in his pants, for the first time in three years after getting toilet trained. Watching him cry, I hated the world for the indifference of its "rules." In particular, I hated the clerks' smug expressions of disinterest. The turd in my child's pants wasn't the only turd in evidence at this place. We will not patronize this hole again. read more

Signed up yelp to write this review. I am giving 1 star for cleanness. It's sad that people who work there are just plain rude. They must love their job because they do not have to show respect to customers. Especially people who work in the morning are joke. 1. I have seen them fight with other about money. (line there was ignored) 2. A man at the casher was busy hitting on a girl. (line there was ignored) 3. Another casher was watching it, so after period of wait, she noticed that there was a line, and she did her job, without even bother to look at me when she returns receipt. 4. They do not care even coffee is empty. 3 times I had to mention it, and I have seen numerous times that other customer have to tell them too. oh I miss people who used to work there before they renovate this place. I don't certainly have no time to waste there, and I will not return ever never ever. read more

I say to the previous post . . .go back. I think that this is a fine 711, big aisles, clean, very nice selection of craft beers, and wine and really nice staff. But, here's the reason I object to the previous post -- the coffee is the BEST thing. I regularly get coffee at 711s in Alexandria (Quaker and Mt Vernon most frequently) and while all are very nice, the coffee service is a little chaotic; a little messy, but in this 711 they are stacked by flavor and all coffees are always available. And the food to go, hot dogs, pizza, chicken bites etc. is served in a very clean manner with more than I have seen at other at other stores. It's funny, I was there yesterday and was going to write a review...there is a new manager and I wanted to compliment her, so I was very surprised to see a poor review. Please go back and reconsider. This is wonderful addition to our Alexandria community. I know that it's funny to rave about 711, but I go to one at least five times a week. read more

worst 7-11 in Alexandria. No matter how many mornings I go in you would think someone in the store would know how to work the lottery machine. And always a lot of scetchy people. read more

It's hard to be too critical about a 7-Eleven, considering what they are, but I'd just like to point out that this one SUCKS because the Slurpee machine is constantly un-frozen and super syrupy on every flavor. Come on, that's like one of your most important products and you screw it up? read more

This 7-11 re-opened after Yates Corner was built on the prior site. I have never been more impressed. The selection of craft beers is vast and reasonable. The specials on domestic beers beat the pants off groceries. Lastly, the service is fast and friendly. Hugs to my special Indian momma! read more

5stars for the pizza, zero for the wings. Pretty bold to serve something that old and cold #rhyming

Best 7-11 I have ever been to! Phenomenal, amazing, and almost everything I buy there is good! Plus, the slurpees rock!

The coffee was TERRIBLE. And I usually love 7-11 coffee! I don't know what was wrong with it but both of ours tasted awful/funky. We got different flavors of coffee too. The staff was also indifferent and unfriendly. I had initially been excited when this 7-11 re-opened but now we both look at it and think "gross." Eh. read more

They always toast my sandwiches for me. Coffee is always filled up and the line never takes too long. Unless I'm in it. Haha I really like how everyone makes me feel at home when I'm in there. I also feel incredibly safe in there cause I always see a police officer in there. Beware if you've been drinking I guess. Anyway thanks again guys. read more

This is the best 7-Eleven I've ever visited. The customer service is impeccable. The store is clean and there is always an effort to keep the lines moving. Phenomenal. read more

The clerk here is amazing and the service spectacular. Always clean and tidy. Stop in almost everyday.

Definitely a fan of this new 7-11 that opened 4 or 5 months ago (according to an employee). I've been working in the area temporarily, and have stopped in every day this week. Everything is clean and new, which makes this store much more inviting than the typical 7-11. They have a nice variety of coffees (including vanilla and hazelnut) and packaged to-go items. I was pleasantly surprised at my salad options and have bought a Caesar salad ($3.99) 3 times now, each time being happy that it was cheap and fresh. The package even includes a fork - awesome! I also appreciate their breakfast offerings, and have started my day with an egg white, cheese, and Canadian bacon on a whole grain English muffin which is only 180 calories. After buying coffee, breakfast, lunch and snacks, I spend about the same amount that I would buy lunch anywhere else...and that. my friends, gives this 7-11 4 stars in my book. read more

Customer service was so bad that it prompted me to sign up for yelp and write my first review. Cashier was extremely condescending and rude when there was an issue. Thankfully, the manager was very nice but as soon as he left (to go to the room behind the cash registers) the attitude from the cashier came back in full force. This experience saddens me because my husband and I have been coming here for months for a nightly treat but will no longer be able to do so. We cannot support businesses who talk to their customers in such a manner. Every customer should be treated decently. read more

Ok....what the hell is going on in this place? My husband and I stopped in this store last night to get a snack around ten at night on my way home from work. We have noticed in the past that the people behind the counter are pretty slow and belligerent, usually they are playing the music so loud it's like being in a nightclub but last night took the cake. First of all, it's the only store I've ever gone to where they need a security guard standing there all night. So I guess the owner has a hard time finding people who would want to work there, but come on! Last night it took a half an hour to get out of that place. The manager was there too, and you could see that the inmates where running the asylum. One of the guys working the register was moving so slowly it was scary. He looked like he was on some kind of drugs and the two girls at checkout were just chit chatting and talking to each other while people were waiting to get the hell out of there! Seriously! One girl who was supposed to be ringing people up was sitting on the counter while the other one was just talking to her and basically ignoring the long line that was forming. I'm not kidding! My husband, who was really tired after a long and grueling day at work was really losing his patience and had it not been for the manager coming to the front and trying his best to get his employees in line. In the end the girl at checkout wound up with my husband throwing the money at her. Believe me, I have never seen him so angry, or do anything like that ever before but it was well earned. We will never go to this place again. EVER! I get that it's not in the best neighborhood, but neither of us are willing to deal with the shenanigans that go on in that store. It needs to be cleaned up or shut down and fast. What a disgrace. read more

As a Del Ray resident an metro commuter, I have been a regular customer of Yates 711. I usually stop in a few days a week to buy beer on my way home I had such a bad experience yesterday that I will not be shopping there anymore. I picked up a six pack of Sierra Nevada that was clearly marked on sale for 9.99. When I get to the register, a woman named Kaur rang it up and the price was 12.99. There is no way I'm paying 12.99 for Sierra Nevada, so I pointed out that the price charged didn't match the price advertised. Kaur told me that the price was 12.99 and that was it. I asked to see the manager and she told me that she was the manager, so we went back to the shelf and looked at the price, clearly marked at 9.99. Kaur then told me the displayed price was wrong and that it was 12.99. At this point I'm just trying to get the store to honor their advertised price and Kaur is agueing with me and called the security guard over, trying to intimidate me. The guard just looked at her and said" well, I would honor the price displayed." At this point, Kaur tell me that I should have "shut my mouth" and just paid the price on the register, but that she will now give me the actual displayed price. I told her that I will be going elsewhere from now on, and she did not care at all. I generally felt disrespected, and any store charging 12.99 for a six pack is crooked anyway. To have a manager with so few customer service skills on duty is a reflection of Yates in general, as she was more interested in asserting power that helping a customer. Beware the shiny new displays and beer selection, they are charging 30 percent more than other nearby stores. read more

I love this 7-11 and I go here every morning. Literally, every morning. And sometimes in the afternoon, too. My wife, son and I live about a 5 min walk from Yates corner and we rely on this 7-11 for coffee, quick groceries like milk and wine, and firewood/salt melt during the winter. We have always loved having this store right up the street and being so convenient as well as the staff. Our experiences have always been nothing but pleasurable. Shah has always treated us incredibly well and makes time to ask how we are doing and interacts with my son every time we are there. He always has a smile and always makes my day a little better. For the past several months I have been interacting with Jeff on a daily basis. He is fantastic! Jeff is courteous, thoughtful, personable and friendly. He asks about me and my wife every time I see him. He always shakes my hand and ensures I am having a great experience and asks if there is anything I need. Thank you Jeff for making my mornings a little bit more pleasurable. Shah and Jeff make the store we already very much enjoyed visiting, a store that we absolutely love visiting! Thank you Jeff, Shah and the rest of the team for doing such a great job! read more
