Ultra clean bathrooms. Great gas station attendant with mad skills taking out the trash. This is a good place to stop and load up on snacks. read more

Five stars for the coffee alone. They are serving Kaladi Brothers coffee. I drive to Seward a lot. I get to stop in at essential one to top off my travel mug and my thermos with some of the best coffee on the planet. They charge me the price of a large cup of coffee to fill my thermos. How can you go wrong with that? The restrooms are very clean as well. Easy to navigate the parking lot with a big truck. I can't tell you how they compare to any of the other service stations in Seward because I have not needed to try any of the others. read more

Very clean inside. Especially the bathrooms. Had a problem with the gas pump and the staff fixed it fairly quickly. Price of gasoline is high, but that is just Alaska. read more

Chevron

Maybe the local Safeway was too far of a walk? It was more likely that this Chevron is located…read morevery near the Small Boat Harbor and the shuttle back to our hotel. For our room, we needed wine and beer, and this place had a decent selection. If fact, we were here maybe 3 times during our recent Seward stay. Check-out is at a separate counter than paying for gas. That seemed strange, but then I don't know the nuances of Alaska liquor laws. And we were carded, which at our age is a compliment.

This gas station is on the east side of the main road as one is exiting Seward, heading north…read moretoward Kenai peninsula or Anchorage. When they've got you by the ---, and one needs gas, he will be the unwitting victim of gas gouging. Ironic that I saw the Alaskan Pipeline with my own eyes... Still, exorbitant prices.

Tesoro Marketplace

(1 review)

Yooooooooo....this "gas station grocery store" is WHATS UP!!! SCREW THE SAFEWAY down the street…read more This Market is WAY BETTER. Holy moly! 1. They have a far superior liquor store (lots of locally made crafted beers and the like) 2. Staff is SUPER nice 3. Tons of ethnic, veggies and gluten free options 4. Tons of bulk options for value. 5. Some fancy and weird options I have no idea where they're getting them, but they're awesome 6. They even have pet products (like beds!) 7. Convenience camping items like ice and firewood

DONT EAT the Food the Kitchen is Filthy, the Kitchen crew hasnt cleaned the oven in MONTHS its filled with dirt dust and hair. They dont properly date and keep track of the expired food. CHECK DATES when you buy stuff in the store. if you buy food after 7pm its been sitting there under the heat lamp for HOURS. There Gas they are getting it WAY WAY cheaper then they are selling it for same for the ciggarettes. The Managers are scum and treat employees like crap. GO TO CHEVRON or ANYWHERE ELSE dont go here unless its LAST RESORT they should be SHUT down for BAD food practices read more
