Great selection of drinks for a smaller convenience store (both non alcoholic and alcoholic). Owners are extremely nice and provide great service. May be odd to say but this is my favorite convenience store to go to when i need drinks, late night snacks, or nicotine read more

Great selection here. It's also a small owned business I'm pretty sure so I have to say they are very personable and remember common customers who stop by. Additionally, they really go out of their way to get many flavors and different types of liquor and snacks. Everything you need in a quick walking distance stop and also very often updated. read more

If you are looking for the perfect corner store, look no further. Great sandwiches, smoothies, deli selection (boar's head), beer and wines as well as anything you might need in a pinch from fresh fruits and veggies to vanilla extract and TP. Nicest staff in the neighborhood, open early to late. read more

TJ's Convenience Store - Typical TJ - Convenience Stores Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

When you walk in, there's not much to make you feel welcome. However, the gem is the sandwich counter. When I first arrived in Boston 3 years ago, a guy passing by me on the corner told me "this place has great sandwiches!" I didn't believe him until I gave it a try yesterday. It was one of the freshest sandwiches I've probably ever had...extremely surprising from a corner liquor store you'd least expect to have farm-fresh produce in its sandwiches. I'm not exaggerating, it actually looked like a food make-up artist did her thing on it. Not a blemish in any vegetable. I created a custom sandwich with: BREAD: Ciabatta Roll MEAT: Maple Glazed Ham, Genoa Salami CHEESE: Pepper Jack PRODUCE: Romaine Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Avocado CONDIMENTS: Mayo, Chipotle Sauce, Garlic Oil It was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in Boston, high quality ingredients like Jimmy John's. The couple who owns the store is from the Dominican Republic. They're a bit reserved at first but are easy to strike a conversation with and quite friendly and humorous. Would definitely come back for my custom sandwich. Give it a try! I hope you like my concoction! read more

Chances of getting food positioning? Moderately high. Chances of getting rude service? Extremely high. You are best off going to star marker which is down the street. They actually are not rude, have good prices, quality food, adhere to health code standards (aka wear gloves) and don't have a 6 dollar minimum charge. Always surprises me how a small business who is billed as being convenient can turn away money. 9/10 transactions are with a card... read more

Everyone who works at TJ are just the nicest most personable and sweetest people ever! Whenever my girlfriend and I walk in they instantly recognize us with huge smiles and greetings. They even endure our attempts to speak to them in Spanish. We usually go there to pick up beer, and they have an awesome selection (Cisco, Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada etc) for prices that are consistent with nearby liquor stores. Whenever we pick up avacados and tomatos to make guacamole, they instantly pick up on this and run to their cooler to get us a jalapeno and fresh cilantro (often for free.) Great quality food, great drinks, good prices for a convenience store, and most importantly, awesome people. read more

I lived next to TJ Convenience Store for seven years. It was my go-to place for milk, ice cream and the occasional frozen entree. The prices are what you'd expect for a convenience store, as is the selection; although unlike many corner stores, TJ sells beer and wine. The owner is very nice and he works hard--I think his name is Lee. I have to wonder about my relation to the world when I can talk to a guy two or three times a week for seven years and not know his name. read more

I love this convenience store. Great selection of beer and wine. Basic supply of groceries for everyday needs-fruit, cereal, coffee, milk, eggs, etc. The deli is amazing- they will make you basically whatever you want :) The owners/staff are also sooooo sweet! The main woman who runs the store has a great sense of humor and makes me feel like it truly is a neighborhood store. read more

This is probably my favorite convenience store ever. The boss is the most amazing woman ever, and I'm glad to be able to support a store with a great owner. Not only do they have all the necessities but there's also a great deli section and a wine/beer section! read more

Love this place! They have a great selection of craft beers and wine as well as a delicious deli. I highly recommend this place!

TJs Convenience Store recently changed management. I never got to know the old owner as I moved in Sept 2011 but the new owners are great. The first thing they added was a Boar's Head deli, now I can get quality cheeses and deli meats without having to go far (the prices are pretty good too!) They extended their hours as well, 11a-11p everyday... even Sunday! The Dominican couple that owns the place are so personable and welcoming. If you have not tried their smoothies, you must do so asap. $3.99 and they are perfect with summer coming up (no preservatives or 'fake' ingredients, all natural! I'm going to be very sad when I move away next September, I am lucky to have TJ's right around the block! read more

I love this place! Lee is just like a small business owner should be. Once he was telling me about the lottery, but I didn't have a buck (just a credit card), so he bought the ticket, gave it to me and said if I win, we split it. We've been splitting lottery tickets since. He always smiles, he always remembers everyone and he loves to just catch up and hear what's going on. This is my favorite convenience store. read more

This place is great. I have been able to get to know the shop operator over a period of 6 months and it is great to have a friendly face to greet me when I am picking something up last-minute. The best thing about TJ Convenience is that they have such a diverse range of items ranging from cheese to wine and everything in between; this means that you can find what you are looking for, most times. The only thing I wish is that they accepted small credit card transactions. Thanks TJ Convenience! read more

Well, Mike answered my question. The new mgmt has really improved this store. People ordering sandwiches said they're always v. good. Large selection of wine & beer. I went because they're now carrying Takis brand tortilla chips! The best! read more

Great Sandwiches and smoothies ! Friendly Staff - Try the TJ green with Turkey

This is a fabulous convenience store. Very friendly, great selection. Their selection is remarkably good, ranging from standards like eggs and tomato sauce to unlikely cooking ingredients (pine nuts, some spices, fresh mozarella and parmasean) to beer and wine. They also sometimes have things in back beyond what's on the shelves. (They also make deli sandwiches, which I haven't tried.) Living within two blocks of them, we nip out often for stray ingredients. read more

I have been in this store a few times. I am very upset about customer service. The lady who works there as a cashier is so rude, mean. She eats a food and doing a customer service. There is a bad smell. When I told her about that she became mad at me and so angry. Please, pay attention on this situation. Otherwise I will call to customer service office. Thank you.

Amazing little store and the staff is extremely helpful. Deli is delicious and the lady that works there is soooo nice! Glad this store is in the neighborhood! read more

I like this place...most of the time. After getting a nice loaf of bread next door at Clear Flour, I usually stop over to pick up a bottle of wine. On this occasion (Sunday evening) I encountered an employee who rudely stated "there is a 10 dollar minimum" while pointing at a sign. I have never encounter this here before. The owners are always very nice and have never given me an issue when using my debit card for purchases under 10 dollars. I understand policy, but get consistent. Tonight I took my business elsewhere. read more

Great neighborhood convenient store. When I lived in the neighborhood I would go here almost weekly. Some of the greatest customer service Ive ever received. It is ran by a very hard working couple who always have a smile on their face which is very welcoming. Personally I'd usually go in for some beers and my cold cuts to make sandwiches for the work week. Unlike many convenient stores, they have a great produce section with all types of meats and cheese, and if youre in the mood for a sandwich they will make it for you. Although you may pay an unnoticeable amt extra for certain items, as you should expect at any convenient store over a large supermarket chain, it is well worth it knowing the money spent is going to a hard working family who runs a great store. read more

This is the best place ever. If you want to be treated like a valuable human being and get good deli meats and sandwiches, come here because you will not be disappointed. read more

$6 credit card minimum. Not very convenient for a convenience store! Especially considering the laundromat next door is card-only :P
