7-Eleven

Probably my favorite location in Manhattan. They do a good job mopping the floors. The flaming Cheetos are really fresh:

went in for a bag of flaming hot cheetos and was SURPRISED at how friendly the staff was! I was greeted by 3 different people and they all made me feel like a damn rockstar. I’m going out of my way from now on just to buy everything I need here, and it was so clean. seriously unexpected and awesome customer service.

Where is management? This has been my go-​to quick snack place for almost 4 yrs however hot food selection & service has worsened this past year — recent staff don’t prepare fresh hot items as often — hot food is either overcooked /​burnt to the point its hard & inedible (ex Mozzarella sticks, pizza) or looks like its been sitting there more than a day (hot dogs). Owner needs to do more frequent store visits and/​or hire new staff!

I go in here for one reason: coffee! Amazing and cheap. Iced coffee is refreshing (avoid the mocha though) and there’s a large selection of hot coffee (regular, decaf, vanilla, hazelnut). The best thing is all the extras: different types of milk, International Delight creamers (my absolute Favorite is almond joy, must try), syrups (including sugar-​free versions) and powdered flavors (cinnamon etc).
I’ve also snuck in a Slurpee every now and then (even though I don’t drink soda). Staff are nice. Many foods are way overpriced, avoooid!

Things have vastly improved from the review below (now 3−7−15). Maybe someone read this. New management perhaps. Plus they just renovated the entire store. Staff seems to have stabilized after months of different people every day. Good specials too.

First off, the coffee bar is great. many flavors and strengths, with lots of different add ons like flavored milk-​like products, syrups, and powders. cheap price on refills (1.35) if you buy the cup for 2 bucks there. That’s where the one star came from. would have been 0 otherwise.
Now, everything else. Slurpees? They only have one flavor, usually blue. Come back later. Tonight 5 flavors were down, and I was only able to get ¹⁄₃ of a large cup filled.
Hot dogs? dogs maybe. never hot. come on guys, hot dogs and other sausagy products are not supposed to be 100 degrees in the middle. maybe you’ll have to throw a burnt one away once in a while, but leaving only two on the grill obviously uncooked isn’t good for business. the ketchup and mustard dispensers are right next to the glass on the sides and they don’t rotate, so you can only do one side of the hot dog at a time.
Pizza is decent for a dollar and it’s hot enough.
Got the iced coffee mocha flavor twice. both times, the machine was spraying water, some into the cup, some in other directions, like onto my shirt.
Sodas? not enough syrup, very flat tasting.
bakery cases usually empty.
Does local district management think this is all normal?
Good selection of beer and sodas and drinks, especially the Arizona liter size drinks. Prices competitive.
most other products, too expensive. Little smoke shops nearby have better prices and more selection.
And worst of all, their quick pick lotto tickets never hit the jackpot.

I love my 7-​Eleven store. I visit 7-​eleven stores all over Manahattan for my daily caffeine fix on the go. I’m in love with the hot chocolate. I don’t normally like hot drinks from a machine… but their hot chocolate is amazing, and so much cheaper than alot of other places.
This location is one of my favourites. it is close to home, and always open. When it comes to eating, I’m a definite grazer. I love my snacks, and 7-​Eleven has so many snack options — some healthy, and some not so healthy — at such a ridicuously cheaper price, than most other stores in Manhattan.
The store is always clean, and offers fast, and friendly service.
7-Eleven…You rock my world!!!

Yes — even more 7-​Eleven locations now to satisfy my occasional Slurpee or Big Gulp cravings!
Brand spanking new 7-​Eleven that recently opened up on the UES. Even though I am a big fan of many bodegas that dot the area, there is something special about 7-​Eleven. Nothing like grabbing a good tasting hot cup of coffee in the morning and using one of the flavored creamers they offer. Honesty, the cup I had today tasted better than most Starbucks and street coffee carts.
As with many of the these spots they are loaded with all kinds of snacks, pastries, sandwiches, big bite hot dogs, and other gut busting goodies to grab on the run. They also have pizza and chicken wings now if you dare to challenge your stomach here.
The store itself is bright, clean, and well organized. There is a long handicapped ramp leading into the store for those in wheelchairs or with disabilities. A room in the back to the side has all the refrigerated drinks, the Big Gulp soda dispenser, and the Slurpee machine has six different flavors in it including Coke and Fanta Grape!
Even though it is already open, a sign on the door is promoting a grand opening celebration on Feb 17^th from noon until 2PM — free samples, coffee, Slurpee’s, Gulp soda, and more. It’s nice having these 24 hour stores in the area as a late night snack alternative too.
Slurpee me baby!
