7-eleven - Monterey Park

My favorite 7-Eleven! I've had experiences at other locations where I've purchased expired soda and candy, but never here. I visit this store almost daily and it's my go-to spot!

The restaurant is always busy, but the staff is friendly and attentive. They securely store the alcohol, which is a plus. The fried food is surprisingly fresh for a place like this. They could probably do a better job of cleaning the front windows, but overall, I appreciate the hard work the team puts in to keep the store well-stocked and tidy, especially given the high volume of customers.

One of my favorite things about 7-11 is the impressive selection of beverages available, ranging from water and sugary drinks to alcoholic options. They are also famous for their Big Gulp, so don't hesitate to indulge. If you prefer coffee or tea, you can enjoy a tasty cup of hot coffee at a fraction of the price you'd pay at your local Starbucks, without any of the extras. To maximize your savings, download the 7-11 app and take advantage of their daily deals and rewards. As with many places, the late-night hours aren't always the best time to visit. If you do go during those hours, just be cautious and try not to go alone.
