They also would refill one because it had an old date on it. Fast, friendly service. It's also a gas station so you can fill your cart up while you're at it.

When this gas station was a Super Stop, it was often my go-to place to get gas on my way home from…read morework in Berkeley (on the rare occasions that I drove). After the initial COVID shutdown (and on the even rarer occasions that I was required to go to the office to help pack it up before we moved), this was the only place other than San Francisco and Daly City I got gas. If you don't have to buy gas in San Francisco, you shouldn't. Yes, there are ripoff stations in other Bay Area cities as well, especially right off the 101 down the Peninsula and into the South Bay, but there are also places that have cheaper gas. This was one of those stations. I really only came here during evening rush hour, so I don't know how dangerous it looked or felt in the middle of the night, but I'm assuming it wasn't the safest place to hang out. The convenience store had the greatest gum selection I have ever seen in my life, outside of a supermarket or big-box store. I only bought a couple of things from the store, including a banana that was perfectly ripe. (Bananas must really have sold well here, because they always seemed to have one ore two baskets' full on hand, and they never looked overripe.) Even when I do have to go to the office these days, it's so far south and east in Berkeley that this station would really be out of the way to get to. Still, I'm a little bit sad to see it go.

Unfortunately, this visit was frustrating. I placed an online order that was estimated to be ready in 15 minutes. I intentionally waited an hour before coming in, but I still had to wait while my order was put together. It honestly would have been faster to walk the aisles myself, grab the item, and pay at the register. What disappointed me even more was the customer service at the front counter. The staff I interacted with came across as dismissive and unfriendly, which made the experience feel less welcoming than I expected. I genuinely want to keep supporting Cole Hardware because local businesses matter. I just hope they can improve the online pickup process and provide a friendlier customer experience. Those two changes would make a big difference and would keep me choosing them over the convenience of Amazon.

No hello, just pretty abrupt and borderline rude. Regardless I planned on being quick as I was just looking for a sun friendly white flower plant and I was hungry and ready to go home. I asked a male worker a quick question about the layout cause it was my first time and he was super helpful and even told me to take my time. Not even 10 minutes after that interaction, I literally picked out the plant I wanted, mime white, and as soon as I picked it up the same female worker told me they were going to close and basically told me to leave lol. I put it back down and said "I guess Ill just leave then" and under her breath, back towards me, said "yeah the website is pretty confusing"... Hmm I dont think it's confusing when its clearly marked 6pm closing. Someone should just update the times! Anyways poor first time experience and would not return. Only reason its not getting one star or below is because at least one person was welcoming and I noticed they were dog friendly.
