A good spot to stop if you have pets and they need to get out and take a break. Lots of room in the back for them to move around. Get some fuel and a snack. read more

Stopped at 9pm to use the bathroom and grab some snacks. My kids and I got in and asked for the bathroom. Cashier unapologetically told us it was closed. This place is not family friendly and customer service is horrible. If you need to do a bathroom break here, goodluck. If your traveling south there is a safeway 3 miles after it. If you're traveling north, stop at the safeway before this stop. read more

Expensive gas, slow pumps (if they even work at all) and an average gas station deli the tries to portray they are something more. Stop and Safeway and lower in placerville if you are on your way up the hill! read more

This place used to be a great place, but i think its been bought out. The new owners don't seem to have the same pride for their deli as before. I stopped in to grab a sandwich and what a joke. $12 bucks for a roast beef sandwich. NEVER AGAIN. read more

A good place to stop if you need any last minute items before heading up to Tahoe even though it's pricey. Beware though - do NOT buy the Labubus there. They are fake. These are LAFUFUS. The outside of the box says "Pop Mart" but once you open up the item it's actually "Pop MaPt." read more

Clean bathrooms, good gas pumps with prices consistent with area, looking for gift ideas? This place has many for mountain and western themes. Snacks, beverages and did I mention clean bathrooms? read more

Chevron - Gas and potty lol - Gas Stations Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

I love being able to stop here on our trips back and forth from SLT. Great store with gas, drinks, and snack. My only negative was the $11+ premade grab and go turkey sandwich. Ordinarily, I grab this type of food when desperate, so shame on me for grabbing it when I wasn't. It was possibly the worst ever. Hidden, wrapped in white paper, sitting in the cold case, it contained a very unimaginative hoagie roll containing one folded over slice of turkey, one soggy slice of cheese, one really flat wilted leaf of lettuce one long transparent slice of pickle. The condiment packs (Mayo and yellow mustard) are wrapped inside the paper. For $11 I had really high expectations, so I felt like a fool. No amount of mayo could make it better. read more

they are selling fake products when asked for a return they made us grab a different fake one instead of giving me my money they wouldnt give us a different one instead unless we had our receipt which when we bought it we werent given the choice to have a receipt the guy grabed it and threw it away. read more

Chevron - labubu - Gas Stations Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

We always stop here on our way to/ from overnight stsy on Tahoe. Look for snacks or get a soda but, I always loom at their "fill a bag" of stones. A small velvet drawstring bag. I love looking through them and picking out that bag full if I see ones I am drawn too. Been stopping there so many years can't even tell you. The people here are always welcoming, I think it's changed hands a couple times? But always friendly. I was given a tissue with rubbing alcohol to clean my hand, I had gotten sap or something sticky that hadn't washed off. I appreciated that very much. read more

If this is only mechanic shop in Pollock Pines California I wouldn't recommend them at all they put my daughter's brakes on backwards and she drove to Lake Tahoe not knowing it read more

They have really gone down with their personnel! The man working there was so rude. Yelled at me when I tried to use the bathroom as they always have them closed and they work fine. Blocked me in from the back area. Would never plan to stop there. Don't most people stop at a remote gas station to fuel up and use the restroom?? read more

Seems like a very nice mini Mart, gift shop, food stop. Gas is way overpriced. Restroom is very clean. Convenient to highway 50. Cool little photo stop at the saloon next door. Some funky looking hats. read more

Chevron - Fresh pond trading Post - Gas Stations Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

This store is filthy. Sticky liquid on inside floor and outside. Bathroom really dirty. Expired food in the refrigerator. Empty shelves. Fountain drinks are often not working. Avoid this dump. read more

This gas station is very popular for the small hill out back that provides for great sledding in the winter. Great spot to stop with the kids for a bit and have some fun in the snow! read more

There are several gas stations and stopping points along Highway 50 but the Freshpond Trading Post is our go-to stop on the way back to the Bay from Tahoe. Why? The restrooms are clean, there's a fun gift shop that goes beyond the trinkets you can get at a regular gas station convenience store and there's a fresh deli counter. There are a selection of ready-made, grab-and-go sandwiches that will help you stay fueled for your trip. On our most recent stop, my husband got the roast beef sandwich and I got the salami sandwich. The roast beef one had plenty of meat, but my salami sandwich had only a very thin, single layer of meat. It was kind of weird because the bread was so fluffy. Weird proportions. Other than that, it wasn't bad. Maybe it was an off day or something, but I might try a different sandwich next time. I'll still be back! read more

Had a great morning here with the kids. Bought some food, did some sledding, clean-ish bathrooms for US50. Good to go.

Just had lunch, purchased two sandwiches at 11.99 each, The worst ever, had salami , very little, no cheese huge bread, a joke, Will not stay in business long serving this substandard food. A total ripoff. read more

$9.99 for this turkey sandwich. Kind of a rip off 3 people standing behind the counter with 2 registers. but no one making sandwiches at "the deli" read more

Where can you stop for a Bio Break, fill your gas tank, and buy anything from ice to a purse with a concealed gun pocket (I don't need one and I hope you don't as well)? The store has a large variety of things to buy. It has the normal food and drink convenient store items you would expect to find. It also carries some sporting goods, clothing, wood artwork and souvenirs. The assortment is surprising and not expected from a roadside store. The store and bathroom are clean. I like to stop and stretch my legs since the location is 45 Miles to the Nevada Stateline and about 60 Miles to Sacramento. The Parking Lot is large and can accommodate vehicles with trailers. The store is right off of Highway 50 making it easy to find and visit. Tip: You may want to add the store to your GPS before your trip. Celluar coverage is spotty up in the mountains. read more

People aren't nice here at all. The deli food is terrible and overpriced. I'd go to silverfork or pollock before I go here if I were you

Every time we head to the rubicon trail, we always stop to fill up our gas tank. Freshpond Trading Post is awesome because: 1. Easy access if you have a huge trailer with a Jeep like me. 2. Has paper towels at the pump 3. Very convenient location, right off highway 50 4. Very clean bathroom with paper towels and toilet paper 5. Very friendly and helpful store clerks with great attitude 6. Large size parking lot- such a perfect place to meet up people 7. Has diesel fuel 8. Decent grocery selection and local unique gifts 9. You can pump gas even when the store is closed at night. 10. Local people work here 11. The store is clean and organized 12. There is a fun photo booth- if I remember correctly- the theme was a jail house. The gas price is slightly higher than other places but I'm very impressed every thing that this place can offer. Definitely recommend to everyone! Stop by, you won't regret it! read more

On the way through this area we needed to stop by and get some gas. From the looks of nothing a gas station appeared and here we were at Freshpond. The name is semi cute and semi disturbing since it is a gas station. But the bathrooms were super clean and the inside had a lot of different items that you could buy. If you wanted a pair or sheep skin shoes you could get them. If you needed a frame for a picture this could be the one. Everything in the store was pretty random which I liked about it. The owners have such a cute way of thinking that it actually made me stop and look around for a while!! :) read more

Chevron - Yes snow ! - Gas Stations Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

The staff here are not wearing masks themselves and arguing with customers about this. They claim that "there isn't a law" and "I have rights, and it's my right to not wear a mask." Meanwhile the signs on the front door say that all persons entering the facility are required to wear a mask. Confusing at best. Dangerous at worst. read more

Most budget ass sandwiches here for 10.99 they used to make amados now they just capitalize on premise dog sheeet. Also, after filling up and buying other snacks the guy almost had the audacity to charge me .99 for ice until I said something to him jokingly after he asked if I wanted a plastic bag. Guy was nice, ppl were nice it's not their fault. Just don't stop here for sandwiches or snacks. Shit is over priced. read more

Chevron - Ham and pepperjack sandwich. - Gas Stations Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

This used to be our go to stop travelling to and from Nevada to the Bay Area on US50, but not anymore. It once was clean and you could get ready made sandwiches, but no longer clean under the current owners, and no way to tell how long the sandwiches have been sitting in the cooler. To top it off on our (really) last stop there the clerk ripped us off on some lottery tickets. No doubt not being able to understand him due to his language issues greatly contributed to that. read more

Chevron - Sleds - Gas Stations Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

How sad what this place has become. 9.99$ for a pre made sandwich since thats all they offer from there deli if you want to call it that. Last time stopping in here for me. read more

For being the only store or gas station for several miles in every direction, this place is surprisingly shitty. I'm sorry this review is so bitter, but I don't subsist on Cheetos and Coke products when I go camping. No one cares about headbands, bracelets, t-shirts, hats, polished rocks, necklaces, or fifteen different styles of women's flip flops in the middle of the forest. What would it be nice for you to have here? More real food. Actual vegetables. Fruit. A larger selection of healthier snacks and bread options. More like a grocery store and less like a gas station. The pre-made food (potato salad, macaroni salad, etc) is nonsense. I got the baked potato salad and had one bite. It tasted like vinegar, cheap mayonnaise, and bacon bits? It was putrid. Freshpond Trading Post knows it's the only place around, so that's why you're going to pay $6.75 for a mediocre pre-made sandwich or $10.99 for a bottle of bug spray. You don't NEED to run game on everyone just because you're the only option. read more

The woman at the counter denied my leashed, un-vested service animal at approximately 8:30 this morning. Instead of going to my car, vesting my animal, arming myself with paperwork, and attempting to re-enter the store, I simply exited without question and waited for my family outside. After my exit, my husband and children overheard this woman making rude comments that included foul language about me and my service animal to another staff member. When my husband confronted the staff, they proceeded to argue with him and ask for my animals vest and documentation. This is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law. I am not required to vest my service animal, or provide documentation to anyone. I strongly suggest you educate your staff on the federal laws pertaining to service animals before they destroy your livelihood with a lawsuit. read more

Gayle, the Kid, and I stopped at the Freshpond Chevron Station on our way home from Genoa NV last Sunday. That happened to be the last day of the July 4th Holiday, and even with a 9 AM departure, it was a long drive home. The gas prices here are more expensive than in Placerville down the road. But what you also get here is a friendly western store motif, lots of snack selections, a deli counter, and most important - clean restrooms. The Trading Post is definitely worth a stop, even if you have to cross the divided road to get here. read more

Great pit stop with clean facilities and some fun shopping! I generally load up on snacks but I have to say I'm always tempted by their super cute sweatshirts. One of these days I'm going to cave... read more

Our go to stop to and from Tahoe. A little outdoor area that you can take pictures at, a nice store with more than just your usual snacks, and clean restrooms. What more can you ask for. read more

Food is mediocre and expensive for what you get but there aren't really many options in the area. They have readymade sandwiches and breakfast burritos. They also have a great beer selection. Gas prices are kind of high, but again no competition so it could be worse. read more

This is the best gas station to stop by coming or going to Tahoe! They have everything! Gas, great snacks, a hill for sleeding, clean restrooms with mulitple stalls, and cut outs for a photo shoot (located outside near the hill). Plus, the staff is never rude! I come here every time on my way to Tahoe and have never regretted it. Gina's top picks: -the restroom (I have a small bladder) -dill pickle flavored kettle chips -photo opportunity to be a western couple/in jail read more

This is a really great place to stop. Very convenient, clean and friendly. Lots of snacks and merchandise. A few years ago they special ordered a coat for us in a size they did not have on hand. Last winter we asked if we could play in the snow there and they said yes, making our four year old very happy! Nice place. read more

I have to give a 4 (not a 5) because um it is only a gas station / store (snack & gift shop). It is definitely a must stop for my hub & me - SF to Tahoe. The first time we stopped, years ago, I believe they had a deli with made to order sandwiches. Great snacks- everything imaginable and they have Bugles(!) every flavor I have and have not heard of! And cute quirky tees & sweatshirts. Staff is always nice and amenable. Bathrooms are always clean. Gas is a bit pricy if you don't get the 'Chevron discount'. We'll continue stopping here our four times a year we do Tahoe and give them our patronage. read more

I like this little gas station/mini mart! They have a place to stop designated for dogs, so it's a great place to stop on the way or way back from Tahoe. They have an excellent selection of snacks, beers and wines. The restrooms are clean and usually don't have too long of a wait. I also like that they have a deli with "real" food as opposed to other gas stations. read more
