Circle K delivers the goods (well, not literally), and I don't think they ever close. Chances are, they will have what you need. Use caution when visiting late night/early morning; this area gets a little scary. Lock your doors, leave nothing in your car, be aware of your surroundings, walk purposefully, and avoid eye contact. This has been a public service announcement from Joe L. read more

Usually stop in the Circle K for coffee. They have a large variety of flavors. Their store is very clean neat and they always have what we want. They even sell thrifty ice cream there if you want some I usually just go for coffee in the mornings, but just FYI, and the service for the employee that's there. He's always very cheerful and helpful, very friendly even after a long shift read more

I have received horrendous treatment from some of the employees at this store. One Sunday morning, I was shopping for some Half and Half. They didn't have any at the time. I also looked at some little packets of tissues, but decided not to buy them. Therefore, I left the store without making a purchase. The cashier then chased me outside and asked me to stop. He accused me of stealing the tissues! He asked me to empty out my pockets. I complied, and took out the contents. At this point, he apologized to me. I appreciated that, but I felt so humiliated by the experience. I have never been accused of shoplifting before. Plus, did he think I was public enemy number 1 for stealing tissues? It seemed so trivial. A similar incident happened to me at this location about a year later. After that one, I went on the Circle K website to complain. I only found physical addresses, so I wrote a letter and sent it via snail mail to the district office. I received no response. There was another incident last night. A friend of mine asked me to go there to get some champagne. She said she would go herself, but the late-night cashier doesn't like her and claimed that she was banned from the store. She gave me her debit card to buy the wine. When I was there, the obese young man was working behind the counter. I found the drink, and tried to buy it. I inserted the card in to the chip reader, but it wasn't accepted. My friend later told me she absolutely did have enough funds in her account. I tried the card again, and got the same result. Sliding the card didn't work either. The man said I couldn't buy it because it wasn't my card. I would have accepted that, but what he said next was a great shock to me. "I know her. She is banned from here, and now you're banned too." WTF! I didn't know how seriously to take that declaration. I certainly hope it's not true, as this store is where I do quite a bit of my shopping. It is only two blocks from my apartment, and easy to walk to. I don't own a car at present. There is a supermarket a few miles away, but it's difficult for me to shop there and carry home the groceries. Fortunately, there is another Circle K a few blocks away in the other direction. I will patronize that one, and boycott the other. Stay away from this inconvenience store. read more

Circle K - My beautiful natural breasts that I was trying to keep on the down low from creepy little brown eyed man - Convenience Stores Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

See all

I just went into Circle K on Newport and the lady behind the counter was so rude. When she started yelling at me I told her to calm down. When I finished paying I told her she had the worst customer service. She again began yelling at me. Her make boss behind the counter began laughing. That's no way to conduct business. Don't go there under any circumstances!! read more

If Kate, Candice or Juan are not working, go somewhere else. I will be moving forward.

I have been living in this neighborhood for over a decade and I regularly frequent another convenience store up the street. but I'm now Going to go out of my way and drive the extra distance because of an incredibly friendly and warm associate by the name of Fernando. I have never left a convient Store feeling like family. Not only was heIncredibly helpful but he had a great knowledge of the products Carried in the store. Definitely my new go to convenient store! read more

Stop by this circle k on the way to work or school almost daily. The circle K is located on the beginning of the Newport peninsula on Balboa. The employees for the most part live on or near the peninsula, and makes it a more local or family feel if you stop by often enough. The staff is always friendly and 24hrs a day they have all the munchies and drinks a human soul could desire. The inside and the content is all normal circle k business, but the staff set this convenience store from the rest on and around the island. on and around, ak read more

I'm a 7-Eleven girl at heart, and though Circle K had a lot of great snack options, the store just couldn't compare ... it was ridiculously freezing inside, the coffee looked like it was a week old and the hot chocolate was terrible. If i ever happen to be in Costa Mesa again, i'll just drive the extra miles to 7-Eleven :) read more

The guy is the front is so rude. Don't ask home questions or even buy anything is attitude is disgusting

go to the circle k down the street they have way better prices. this store is overly charging for their products. smh

The night shit 9:30 pm is always rude, I'm in a power chair I asked for help with robitussin dm max non drowse this they don't carry it so I made a suggestion to talk to the owner to carry it then he went off saying i am always rude, I always say please and thank you never thou this guy is never nice. I asked why are you rude he said have seen I stand and walk unsaid I have seen me lean against my chair to get the money to pay what I owe. I asked for a pen and paper to leave a note for the owner and he said no I can call tomorrow but he refuses to give me the number! I guess this person hates to deal with disabled people and I have seen him treat transgender people very rude and I am transgender and I won't be rude because someone don't like me! It may be time for legal action against this employee read more

U probably wondering why I am giving a circle k five stars. Well its well deserved I was treated like I have never been treated at any mini mart or whatever u wanna call these things.The gentleman that was working right now which I just left I wanna say like 20min.ago This gentleman honestly deserves a raise he knows how customer should be treated I just hope we had more people like him. Keep up the wonderful work dude! U are five stars across the board! read more

So this place is really close to my work (like less than 1 mile) and it's a great place to go to if you need a quick snack or drink. I frequently go in here to grab a soda or chips or whatnot for lunch, and the staff is always friendly, the store is clean and they are always well stocked! read more

Average spot, has some of what you need but kinda lacks diversity on some products. I usually stop by here if i am running late for work but I won't go out of my way if i had time. read more

It's a Circle K, what do you expect. They had in stock what I wanted and I was I. And out in like 3 minutes, thank you CK. now, fit the record, the other CK up the street is one I will not return to. Long story! read more

I have got to say of all of the Circle K's I have frequented, and I have frequented a lot, this is by far the best Circle K! Not only is the store I always clean and inviting the owner and employees are top notch! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. After years of going to various locations, this is my only horrible visit. The polar pops are heavily advertised as 89¢ and we were charged $5 for two. The cashier couldn't even speak to us to explain as to why we weren't rung up the correct price. Asked to speak to a manager and was denied. No one answers listed phone number either. I won't be going to circle ks anymore read more

I love that this location carries thrifty ice cream! Fernando was so helpful and nice. This store is a little farther than I would usually travel but I will make the longer trip because of the great service! read more

Fernando did a great job in assisting us in where the drink machine was as well as the chips fro snacks
