I'm not going to lie, I was pretty upset when I found out a 7-Eleven was opening in my area of Astoria. One of the things I love the most about Astoria is all of the mom-and-pop shops and restaurants, and I hated to see a big chain take away business from them. But since they've opened I've stopped in here a few times and I've since become less critical!
It's a standard 7-Eleven. Clean, well-stocked, with a good variety of drinks, snacks, and food. They usually don't have much of a line which is good to when you need to grab something quick. I also will confess to having bought their $1 slice pizza on more than one occasion. The pizza slices are tiny and taste like the cheap-o frozen store bought kind (I'm reminded of Ellio's in particular) but damn does it hit the spot when you just need a cheap slice! Most of the food here is pretty unhealthy, but it's yummy. They do offer some healthier options (hummus & pita chips, apples & caramel) but of course they are wayyy more expensive than all the unhealthy snacks. I noticed have sandwiches as well, but I have never tried any.
