Stopping here is somewhat nostalgic for me as I've previously visited here with others who have since passed. Nostalgia aside, this gas station is filled with anything you may need for a trip over the Donner Summit - hot food, cold food, hot drinks, cold drinks, snacks, t-shirts/sweatshirts, chains, engine oil, and so on. Heck, it even has a F'Real shake/smoothie machine! Yay! Last big certainly not least, the ladies who work here are always friendly.

Go somewhere else.

This is the second time a Chevron station has helped me during a difficult cross-state move, and…read moreonce again I experienced kindness that went far beyond ordinary customer service. My move from Oakland to Reno turned into an incredibly long and exhausting day. An unexpected vehicle problem delayed my departure, and by the time I reached Colfax, it was already evening. During the chaos of the move, I had even misplaced my prescription glasses, making night driving through unfamiliar mountain roads even more difficult. After a half day on the road, I knew continuing would not have been the safest decision. After finding that nearby businesses had already closed for the night, I came to this Chevron looking for a safe place to stop. Although overnight parking is generally not allowed for moving trucks, the older gentleman working that night listened to my situation with kindness and understanding and allowed me to stay for the night. This happened late in the evening on May 1, 2026. I unfortunately didn't catch his name, but I sincerely hope the management recognizes him for his professionalism and compassion. Sometimes the safest decision is knowing when to stop driving. His kindness didn't just help a tired customer--it helped an exhausted driver avoid unnecessary risks on dark mountain roads. This experience reminded me of another Chevron station that helped me during a previous move. Twice now, Chevron employees have shown me genuine care when I needed it most. Small acts of kindness like this make our roads safer for everyone. Thank you to the entire team at Colfax Chevron. I will always remember your kindness. Highly recommended.

Great little gas station and mini mart…read more We were on our way to Hell Hole Reservoir. Stopped here to use the bathroom because I'm particular about where I pee. I'm not one to just pull over to the side of the road and pee in the bushes. I don't like to pee outside. I don't even pee in the ocean. I'm particular where I pee. This place is way up in the mountains, and as it turned out, exactly where you need a bathroom to be if you had multiple cups of coffee before you left Sacramento, as I had done. So happy to discover this gas station does have a public restroom. It's in a small building separate from the mini mart. It was clean and tidy, qualities we all appreciate in a public restroom. After taking care of business and washing my hands I popped into the Mini Mart to spend some money. I didn't actually need anything, I had snacks in the car. But when I stop at a little mom and pop operation like this I always try to spend some cash. I want this place to still be in business next time I'm passing through. The Mini Mart has mad snacks! Including many of my favorites, like Chili Cheese Fritos, Chicharrones, Trail Mix, Chex Mix and Pretzels. They had about ten or fifteen different kinds of Sunflower Seeds. Some weird ass flavored ones too. For example: Taco Supreme flavor, Zesty Ranch flavor, Dill Pickle favor, Jacked Pepper flavor, Takis Fuego Flavor, and BBQ flavor. For a hot minute I considered trying one of those bizarro flavors. I eventually decided to just get a bag of regular old David Original Jumbo seeds. My same old, same old. Maybe someday I'll try one of those exotic flavors. But probably not. Oh, and I love that the self service soda fountain featured Pepsi products, Love me a Pepsi with my Sunflower Seeds. In fact, there's a veritable plethora of drink options in this Mini Mart. In addition to the self serve soda fountain, there's also a slushie-type machine with two flavors (red and blue). They even have one of those push button automated Espresso machines. The Mini Mart is stocked to serve the local community as well as travellers passing through. Shelves were stocked with everything from pet food to BBQ supplies. You need Folgers Coffee, French's Mustard, Del Monte Ketchup? Top Ramen, Campbell's Soup, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese? Toilet Paper, Motor Oil, Insect Repellant? You need a Gas Can? You can find it all here at the Forresthill Valero Mini Mart. And I was impressed that the price of gas here wasn't that much higher than it was in Sacramento. So, yeah, I'm a big fan of Foresthill Valero. I especially appreciate that they provide a public restroom. I was happy show my appreciation by spending a few bucks Mikey C says: Forresthill Valero, 5 Stars all damn day!
