Yes. I'm about to write a review about a gas station. This isn't just any gas station. It's the…read moreClark Kent of gas stations. Take off the nerdy glasses and underneath is revealed a secret spot for delicious delicacies. No joke, the sandwiches, croissants and muffins at this gas station's "Petit Gourmet" are superb. Be sure to keep your eyes out for the 2 for 2 Euro specials, two unbelievable croissants with cheese and ham (it's not quite sliced ham/not quite bacon - but an insane hybrid of those two) that when heated takes you to another world. This gas station also houses a healthy selection of German beers and for dessert, mini Ben and Jerry's for one - that sounds like a meal to me! So, if you happen to be staying at the SI complex like many Americans do, don't overlook the Clark Kent in glasses next door.

Not the closest gas station to the airport and maybe not even the most convenient, but it…read moredefinitely got the job done. It's the first time I've put gas in a car in Europe, so I needed it to be super easy and intuitive. The clerk didn't speak any English but it wasn't hard to hold up four fingers for pump four while mumbling "vier" (that I had looked up on Google Translate while the pump was running).

I've only had good experiences here, albeit I don't have a car and only used the minimart.

However, like any good convenience store, it has a full selection of cold drinks (the blue Monster Absolute Zero is my drink of choice) and snacks. They also have a little "mini bistro" that I've been to twice now, the first time for a bratwurst and this time for a bockwurst, and both were good. The lady working was friendly and there's a little place to sit and eat. I would and will return for future drink purchases and quick snacks. Also, to speak to the car service part, while I was there a woman came it to ask about her car, which wasn't running right I presume, and the other worker (mechanic?) went out to look at it for her, and he seemed pleasant about it.
