I usually stop every morning for a cup of coffee, and am usually greeted by staff soon as you walk in. Mr. Willie is one of the nicest people that works there, great addition to Exxon. I can honestly say that Mr. Willie is the only reason that I kept coming back tot his location. He is friendly and will always as how everything is doing, and if you need to talk he always has a open ear and is more than willing to give some advice if he can. I buy a scratch off lotto ticket frequently and I told him that when I win I am going to give him a cut! The area might be a bit sketchy if you're not from around here, but just walk on in and be treated like you have been visiting for years!

I don't like to Shell out too much money on gas by coming to Shell, but that's life…read more This Shell location is where the star-stop convenience store is that we come to fairly often. It's cheaper than a lot of the gas stations in town, and the only reason it doesn't get really busy is because it's next door to a Murphy USA which is usually 10 cents cheaper. It's the same for all the gas stations around here, they're cheap but not as cheap as M USA, and still there's some of the cheapest stations in Houston but they happen to be right next to the cheapest Murphy in Houston and that's why I hardly use the pumps here, but I have used it a few times. It's also right next to one of my favorite bakeries and when Murphy was down or closed or whatever, too busy perhaps, I have used it and it has been great each time I used it.

I usually wouldn't stop so close to the Freeway for gas because it is true that the prices are higher... The pump did offer a 5 cent discount for signing up for a free offer... Krogers shopping point also excepted for a 10 cent discount... Every little penny helps with these gas prices...

They have everything you would expect…read moreinside the convenience store and the gas prices here generally lower than others around the area. Once it gets darker and later this place becomes very sketchy. Once it's nighttime, you will be bombarded by homeless people begging for money and from what I've observed it's the same people everyday begging there. Apparently it gets bad enough to where around midnight, the clerk has to lock the door and if you want something inside the convenience store, you have to talk to him through this window and you will pay and get your goods through there as well.

Small store, small gas station fill area, and the parking doesn't make sense at all. I'm honestly surprised more accidents don't happen there. That being said, the gas is the best price around for quite a distance, the store is always stocked and clean, and the cashiers are nice and do their job well. BUT. They are people just like the rest of us and they have to deal with situations and people on the daily that a good percent of Houstonians wouldn't be able to handle and would quit before their first week was over. So if the line is long, maybe instead of being an A-hole to the cashiers and causing a scene that only makes YOU look bad, try to reflect. Maybe you should have left the house 10 minutes earlier so you wouldn't be late. Maybe you don't actually need the gas station snacks since you're already late anyways. Also, if you're done pumping your gas. MOVE your car! Lastly, that just barely car sized spot in between the pumps and the building...that's not a parking spot. But it sure is a giant red flag as to what kind of person you are. Dear Yelp comment reader, please take a moment to "Ad- Lib" the blanks below.

They even have a little Photo Booth you can use after making a purchase. I also love that Wobbles Studio created stickers for them! They're so cute and definitely worth checking out (I'm a huge fan). I visited during a pop-up sticker event during their Soft Opening, and unfortunately they had a power outage so the drink menu was limited. I can't wait to come back to try their matcha and their coffee! (:

I didn't adjust the coffee, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste and not that strong compared to the competition in the area. Perhaps it was the avocado. I'd like to go back and try their other menu items. Customer service was good; the cashier walked me through the menu. It's also a cute place to study and hang out with friends.

It was late in the day but the laidback decorated space was packed, music not too loud with a pleasant vibe. I asked if I could get the pistachio dream with oatmilk and the server recommended against it saying it would make the drink too sweet. I appreciated her honest advice and got the dragonfruit strawberry refresher instead. It was definitely refreshing with the perfect amount of ice to keep it cold but not water it down. I also tried one of the mini croissants which is probably what will keep me coming back. Flaky and full of high quality cheese and spices, I wish I had gotten two!

The iced pistachio latte continues to hit the spot and provides amazing pistachio flavor; there's absolutely no other substitute that I've found anywhere else.

I love how committed they are to the pistachio concept and I'm really looking forward to my next visit! - Ambiance: 5/5 (wish there was more seating available though) - Food: 5+/5 - Service: 5/5
