Local 7-Eleven with a neighborhood feel, from the Redbox outside to the easy gas and service eats, the 7-E of Hillcrest (one of two or three if memory serves correct) is the one for me. Easy snacks, comfort grabs, stocked cold boxes and causal service. Absolutely stopped in here way to many times years ago as a SD regular, and while much hasn't change, much has slightly improved. Feels like a place where you're remembered as well as valued. Access off the corner of University Avenue and Normal Street with very wide space for both the gas area and the convenience store itself. Solid deals on adult beverages, beer and wine, as well as soda. If local or on foot it's a very easy in and out, even more so with your own bags. read more

If I'm not going to 7-11 down the street I'm coming to this one. The inside of the store is always clean but cramped. For some reason, I must go at the same time of the day because I encounter the same cashier almost every time. He's always pleasant and works efficiently. My only.qualm is the outside has strong odors. I know that can't be helped sometimes r/t the indigenous population. There's only so much you can control outside of your establishment. read more

The attendant was aware with great service, attentive, went at night, felt safe, one of my favorite 7-11's

Sometimes I crave a 711 coffee! IYKYK Yes, they are surprisingly good! Today was one of those days! The cinnamon coffee hit the spot. Yum!

I gotta say this has ended up being my go to gas station because of proximity but it is poorly set up. There are only 4 pumps which is fine but trying to get in and out of that space is always difficult even for myself who has a small car. It seems to be a busy gas station and 711 in general but I just wish it wasn't so hard to move around or get into a gas pump because of how close the parking spots are to the gas pump. read more

Average 7-Eleven store. Except they don't care if the homeless harass their customers. I'd be happy paying extra at a liquor store going forward just to avoid that unpleasantry. read more

Another 7-Eleven. Another one-star review. Look, this one earns it. About the only thing going for it is it's one of the 7-Elevens with a gas pump if you need a fill-up. Other than that, there's a lot of bad. Despite undergoing a redesign at some point, it's still not very inviting. Part of it is the layout combined with the "security" measures, but another part of it is the way it's situated. Nothing appears to be where'd you'd expect it, so god help you if you need to stop in for something quickly. And maybe it's the franchisee's choice or whatever, but I've definitely noticed that this location doesn't do any deals at all. Everything is full price, and probably more expensive than others in the area. Not even the 7-Eleven house brand items see 2-fors here. The final straw for me, and one that will make me avoid this 7-Eleven as much as I can, is the fact they put up a sign outside that specifically asks people not to give money to "panhandlers". The sign actually thanks you for "keeping your local 7-Eleven and its community safe and clean", and man you don't need to go very far to really dig into the subtext of that. Look, homeless people exist, and they are going to exist whether or not you give them a dollar outside a convenience store. It's not like giving one person without shelter the change in your pocket means they're all going to congregate in your parking lot looking for treasure. It's asinine, and the sign itself is insulting in its inhumanity. If you remove the sign, I'll consider updating my review. read more

7-Eleven - You've got to be kidding me - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

All the buttons on the pump suck and don't work! Horrible place. Told me to see cashier two times. I don't wanna see the cashier!

Be careful coming to this location. The manager or staff will try and over charge you. And pocket the money. The manager or older tall guys is the worth. It's happened three times to me. Geting cash back but only giving me half my money same with change from cash purchase. read more

Great hidden snacks that other stores don't have. Great service. Easy to find the place, great parking! Clean environment

As I was pulling in on April 29, I saw a 7-Eleven employee mercilessly punching a homeless man who is laying down in the head over and over and over and over and over again. The man was trying to shield his head and saying "why are you doing this", as the employee continue to punch him in the head. The man was laying down in a corner outside the 7-Eleven, and was being pummeled. Apparently he had come into the store without a shirt on and knocked something over. So the employee thought the best thing to do was just beat him mercilessly. The employee's name was Alan. Disgusting. Fire Alan. I tried to call to find a manager, but the telephone is disconnected. read more

Without any reason the worker Bill told me I stole cigarettes. This had nothing to do with me but he must have knocked them on his side of the counter. I told him he was wrong as I was ready and able to pay. He went to check the cameras and conveniently couldn't see the footage but found the cigarettes. I told him he was wrong and he totally declined me purchasing anything. This is not ok! You read more

7-Eleven - The entrance - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

Quick, easy and fast. Many reasons to stop in and pickup something good. This was a thirst quenching trip and it was great. Large selection and many drinks on sale or BOGO. They have a new rewards program now for every purchase you make. Great idea to get more customers. read more

Is this 7-Eleven reflective of all 7-Elevens? I don't know, I don't go to many on a regular basis. Sure, I'll stop by a random 7 when I'm out and about and in search of some Tums after a spicy bloody, but when it comes to frequenting one, this is it. Ladies and gentlemen, this 7-Eleven has a stellar selection of garbage wines. Yes, if you're looking for a mediocre blend from a winery that you've either never heard of or perhaps a winery that is renowned for average, they'll carry it here. We picked up a bottle of $11.00 Sauvignon blanc, which was both overpriced and incredibly decent and rounded out our botched delivery order perfect. What a time to be alive! Am I right?! read more

What can you base your review on at 711? This is your basic joe convenience store. There's only about 3 parking spots here, and a gas station for alternative parking. Great deal of homeless here, but the staff seems to be equipped on how to handle out of the box situations and the homeless. The staff is suuuuupppppeer nice. Once I had a staff member ask me why I was buying rubbing alcohol, I guess a homeless man used it to substitute for alcohol! Kinda laughed about it, but wondered if the homeless man actually drank the rubbing alcohol.. There's a atm at the back by the way, I think it's 2.50 they charge to use it. Snacks on snacks here. I think there is a smaller variety of selection here but they have the basic necessities. read more

7-Eleven - ATM in the back - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

One of the smaller locations out of the million that are out there. All I needed were ciggs and energy drink, and I was in and out within 2 mins! I did notice they sold some unique/random novelty items. But just another quick place to grab some convenience items on the go! read more

My last review was a rave about the new Soda machines which allow you to add flavors to the soda, this one is about the COFFEE! Great selection of coffees now, and all the flavored creamers to go with them, and $1.00 refills! Awesome!!! My Starbucks gold cars just took a turn for a lot less use(I didn't say I'd stop using it), but 7-11 has just won me over for coffee on the go, or when I want a quick pick up! read more

Surely most people think that all 711's are created equal, those people probably don't frequent 711's very often...but living in the heart of San Diego, and ending up in many 711's through out my lifetime, I have to say that this one is better than most. The staff is friendlier than most of those working at 711, and I'd venture to say it's because most of the people working here have been working here for as long as I can remember. Great inventory of your typical convenience store items, and typical 711 prices. Also one of the cheapest places to get gas in Hillcrest, if not the cheapest. Also a great ATM that's in the majority of credit union networks, so I love that I can use it without getting charged. Overall, sure you may think it's just another 711, but it's MY local 711 and it's probably better than yours, so there's always that! read more

7-Eleven, you rule. Thanksgiving Day... all I wanted was a Pepsi. I asked my mom, "why don't you get me a Pepsi?" She goes "No! You're on drugs!" I go "mom, I'm OK. I'm just thinking." She goes "No! You're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't be acting this way!" I go "mom, just get me a Pepsi! Please, all I want is a Pepsi!" And she wouldn't give it to me! All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me! Just a Pepsi! 7-Eleven was open. I got my Pepsi. Thanksgiving was saved. The end. read more

I heart you 7-Eleven. This location is right down the street from where I live so when I am too lazy to hit the real grocery store I walk here. They consistently have the items that I need. Those items consisting of soda, alka-seltzer, aspirin and all the other things needed to assist a hang over. The employees here are typically a little more friendly than your average 7-eleven. read more

I would like to give a little shout-out to this 7-Eleven, and the employees that suffer through the dreaded late night shift on the weekends. I ended up randomly at the same 7-Eleven two nights in the same weekend, drunk and super-talkative, after dancing at two different bars nowhere near this glowing beacon in the night, accompanied by two different males of similarly questionable motives. On the second night, we'd been stranded by our companions at that other glowing beacon in the night, Brians', in the winter chill, so we ducked into 7-Eleven to fight the cold. Of course, the cashiers remembered me from the night before, and cheerfully helped us out, without judgment, calling me a taxi to take us to my car, and assisting my drunken companion to operate the ATM. The cab arrived quickly, and soon I was safely on my way. Now I know where to go if I need a safe haven in the middle of the night, no matter if I need an extra large bottle of water, a taxi ride, or a friendly chat with nice cashiers. read more

Can't believe I'm Yelping about a 7 Eleven, but here we are. This location has the most polite and helpful staff EVER to work at a convenience store. They must put up with some of the worst drunks in the city (and I include myself in that demographic), yet they always have a smile and an endless supply of patience. Mad props for keeping the coffee hot and fresh, and the whole store extremely clean. Makes me truly want to "thank heaven." read more

Anything open 24 hours usually gets my vote for awesome. The people who work here are always interesting too. The gas isn't my favorite price but at least they have it. I do get sad though because the coke flavored icee (the only one I drink) is never fluffy. The only other place I know to get one is the movies and Burger King pretends to have it but the freaking machine is always broken so that's a lie too. Also a plus is it is well lit! Super important for the late night hours. I must also add they don't judge. I have come in hungover in old party clothes or pajamas and never has my make up smudged face received the side eye. read more

This is the closest 7-Eleven to my house. For that alone, I give it a couple of stars. I also quite enjoy the people who work here. I walked one night, by myself, and wound up having a half hour conversation with the cashier (the super skinny gay guy with short hair) about Tab soda. Also, this particular location tends to have pretty good sunglasses. Oh! I forgot about the time I went in really sick, and the lady at the counter wouldn't give up until she had made all of the different kinds of medicines visible behind the counter, so I could find the one I wanted. How nice is that!? read more

Bill is the BEST most amazing worker. I've had the privilege to see how good he is. He has made my life better the last 8 years I've interacted with him. This is my favorite 7-11.

For the most part the employees at this 7-Eleven know how to do the job, but would it hurt anyone to crack a smile...just once!? And some guy named Wayne who I believe was the owner totally rubbed me the wrong way...he had this very arrogant, condescending, pee wee herman-esque vibe he was throwing off like you wouldn't believe. Take the stick out of your ass buddy and lighten up. It's a convenience store not a boot camp. Weirdo read more

Just wanted to give the Sunday crew in 7-11 their due props. Cameron's cool, and no matter the mood im in, Melinda just seems to make it better! Not very often i can say a staff member of any business impacts my day in such a way. I feel it should not go un-noticed, and hopefully the manager will notice and give these heads the raise they surely deserve....perhaps even a paid vacation, after all, they are running your business!.....Arizona green tea, Melinda, Cameron....you my only friends! read more

Place is okay. Never had a issue here. My Friend told me the Owner is a idiot cause he accused him of Stealing, which waz a false accusation. Then 86ed him with no probable cause.

Excuse Me your at work, its not very Professional. read more

Thanks for being my be neighborhood convenience stop for many years. read more

I came to this 7-11 and asked if we could used the restroom and they said no, and then i asked if I can buy something and use the restroom and they still said "no" so I walked out. They were extremely rude. Would never come back. Take your business elsewhere. I would let anyone buy anything, that's the smart decision. read more
