7-Eleven

Having gone through a big career change, selling our home and raising two little children, 7 – 11’s convenience and low pricing has been my go-​to spot almost 3 days a week. Whether it’s a $ 1.09 tall can coke zero or mochiko chicken musubi, I’m eating at less than $ 4~5 for lunch in downtown.
It’s a busy place so best to avoid rush hour. Other than that, it has everything I need in a convenience store.

Unilocal 100 Review Challenge 2015: ⁸²⁄₁₀₀
Been working in downtown for just about a year already and only recently have I discovered a 7-​Eleven thanks to Unilocal.
This 7-​Eleven is conveniently located on Bishop Street, with a cross walk right in front of it’s entrance. I was surprised how reasonable the prices were despite it being smack dab in the middle of downtown! I like how clean and organized this 7-​Eleven is! The staff are friendly and greet customers with «Good morning» as they enter and the line moves swiftly as business folks crowd the store to get their coffee & snacks. If you’re on a time crunch and want to grab a quick, cheap bite, I assure you this 7-​Eleven is well stocked!
My only request is that they stocked up on more pastries as the case is basically empty the last couple times I went.

At first when I heard they were putting this 7-​Eleven in Downtown/​Chinatown, my first thought was why?! This however is because there are a multitude of other places and small little convenience shops where you can grab a little snack and some bottled refreshments and food scattered all around the area. Plus, what would be the point of having a 24-​hour convenience store in a location where the streets practically roll up after 4:30/5pm during the week and is nearly a ghost town on the weekend?
But guess what… This place is pretty awesome, largely due to its convenient location and what it offers! The good news is that most things at 7-​Eleven, food & drink-​wise are cheap and affordable. You want some refreshment or a snack, taking a short walk here is a good excuse to get yourself out of the office momentarily. Like every other 7-​Eleven they also offer some heated food items such as spam musubi, hot dogs, burgers & bentos. There’s also an area with cool or chilled items such as sandwiches or sushi rolls which is nice too. The beverage selection is on par with other locations with a good selection of bottled drinks and fountain drinks too.
Unlike a lot of other 7-​Elevens though, this one is pretty stripped down but given the crowd it’s meant to serve you can see why. There’s no need to offer much outside of food & beverage, since most of the people coming here are looking specifically for that. Plus, there’s also a Wal-​Mart, Longs Drugs & Walgreens nearby, so it just doesn’t make sense for them to offer something that other stores in the area have and can probably offer a better variety and price. Really, this is for the office workers to come for something cheap & quick without needing to make a long trek out of their way.
Because they’re open 24/​7, this makes a great location for those who work nearby at places that are also open ²⁴⁄₇ which isn’t much. The food isn’t the greatest but at least it will do in a pinch if it’s late and you don’t feel like driving to get something. Also, for anyone staying in the Executive Center as an overnight visitor this is convenient and cheap. Since 7-​Eleven is after all a convenience store, this all makes perfect sense and therefore is convenient!

7eleven– as a general note I try to avoid ⁷⁄₁₁.
Sometimes though– you just can’t help it. Here is the one plus note, you can pay for bus passes on credit card. For those that need a bus pass and forgot– well– thank goodness for 7 – 11 that is open 24hrs.
This location understandably has really diverse coffee. I’m not going to even go near good coffee but it is uniquely flavored, great milk/​cream choices and all the other normal coffee condiments that are normal at 7 – 11.
This location does have some ok hot items that I normally don’t see at other places. It is a grab and go to the extreme, manapua, hot dogs, mushibi, local comfort foods– done local style.
There are a ton of the Red Bull type drinks all in cold cooler windows. Much better choice than Longs and those are usually not in the cold cooler yet– so again the grab and go mentality. But that is good in the work environment of downtown.
Do know that the crazies have also found out about this place and I have had a few people ask for money as I am in a rush. Just use best judgment and know your surroundings. It is still downtown and there are those that have some mental issues.
As my one friend says– try to eat less 7 – 11 and your health will thank you,

Hoooo 7’s! Steppin up ah?!
Just went in to get a sushi roll and chips for lunch and these buggahs get 2 new flavors! Bacon lettuce tomato, and sweet chili tuna!
So of course I bought them!
if you like the BLT sandwhich from 7 – 11 then youll def like it wrapped in nori and rice!
the sweet chili tuna one is good too! not too sweet, but it has a great flavor!
gonna get these next time when I go the the 7’s down the road from my house.

I’ve only been to this 7-​Eleven a couple of times since it being in downtown and all. It is conveniently located on Bishop St. and I can see it conveniently being a convenient place for people to go this place on the go. This is one of the smaller 7-​Elevens but it does have all of the basic necessities and essentials that a 7-​Eleven should have which is musubis, small kine bento, manapua, dranks, snacks, small kine sandwiches, sushi, pastry, etc. I remember one time during the morning of the Great Aloha Run, this place was packed with people getting last minute energy drinks, water, snacks, last minute meal before the run, etc. This place along with Starbucks. If you are ever in doubt of where to go for a quick snack if you get the munchies or something, this 7-​Eleven is where it’s at in downtown for sure. I am sure this place gets packed every weekday morning for everyone working in the downtown life. All 7-​Elevens have First Hawaiian Bank ATMs so this place was a life saver for me one time when I had to take out cash haha.

Still a fan of this place even though on Friday, I ate their pork hash and then I got salmonella. It was the first and last thing I ate that day and I’ll never eat their food again.

On the mainland we go to ⁷⁄₁₁ for beef jerky, slurpees, chips, and scratch/​lotto tickets. On the island we go to ⁷⁄₁₁ for quick beach eats, spam musubi, bacon rice balls, LiHing candy. ⁷⁄₁₁?! Yup! It still trips me out!!!

Every morning this is where I grab my no-​hassle, no frills, cheap coffee.
See, I will spend $ 7 on my crown shot.
BUT I will not spend $ 7 on espressos or coffee.
:)
So, normally a 7 – 11 is not something that I would write a review for. However, this one truly stands out. I have never been to a 7 – 11 so early in the morning with such a patient, warm, and friendly staff.
There is a woman (I am getting her name next time… Lina) that for every customer that comes in she says «good morning!» You would think it would sound forced, but instead it sounds surprisingly genuine. :) Along with her is a younger guy (I will also get his name… walden)who will also chime in and say «good morning!» And because he’s younger and up probably well before 6am, it’s nice to see that.
I seriously go in with my unhappy, grouchy, don’t wanna be up, not a morning person face, but by the time I’m leaving… I have to smile. These people have to deal with customers so early in the morning and they look ecstatic.
Kudos to this 7 – 11 crew!

I feel like I have been coming to this 7-​Eleven more and more often.
It’s just convenient to run here to grab some drinks or a snack in-​between jobs. It is also great being able to pick up some coffee so I don’t die throughout my day.
I mean, I just never get tired of the 7-​Eleven musubis! My favorite one is the Katsu one :3 YUM~!

It’s really convenient having a 7-​Eleven near campus. When I’m looking for a quick snack in-​between my breaks I usually come here. I usually get their fried rice or hot dogs.
The place is small though and when there’s a lot of people… UGH, gotta wait. Sometimes I can’t make up my mind and end up walking around a bit. Sometimes I wonder if the workers think I’m up to something.

Always fast and friendly, this is definitely one of the best 7−11s I’ve been to. They definitely cater to the fast pace of a Chinatown morning, and do so without any stankface attitudes. I love it!

Thank you for the free slurpee on 7÷11÷12! I drank it all in one big gulp.
Will be back for my favorite roast turkey on multi grain bread, $ 3.89, and Arizona peach green tea, just $.99!
As Jason D. notes, this 7 – 11 is conveniently located in the hub of downtown on Bishop Street adjacent to the Cades Schutte Building.
You’ll find it well stocked, chock full ‘o everything you need and then some!

Seriously the only place opened in Downtown 24 hours!!! Ok, like the only place opened in Downtown past 6pm!!! Hoooorrraaayyyyy for late nights at the office!!! Before you, I just starved! Seriously starved! And yes, 7 – 11 has some healthy options for you rabbits out there. There are multigrain sandwiches, pre-​cut fruit mixes. Or you can spoil yourself silly and get a spam musubi, hot dog, pork hash, chips, or soda. I won’t judge!
Thank you for opening in Downtown and a serious thanks for being opened 24 hours!

This place has friendly and helpful people working here. I just feel bad for some of the people they have to put up with. They have customers who come in and make a mess and leave or just take things and leave. The store can get crowded sometimes especially during lunch hour when people are looking for quick snacks.
Hand rolls are a quick cheap deal if you are looking for a small lunch. My favorite is the spicy ahi.

When one works late into the evening or on weekends in Waikiki, it is so nice to know that there is a 7-​Eleven conveniently located right in the heart of downtown. While one might be quick to assume that they close early or don’t even bother on weekends like their fellow downtown establishments, don’t assume! After all when you assume you make an ASS out of U-​M-​E! 7-​Eleven goes against the downtown norm and sticks to its core and is open 24 – 7! Shocking I know!
While it may not be as large as some of its other locations, it more than makes up for its size by offering the staples that you have come to know and love of the chain. Whether you need that afternoon pick me up (whether its a soda or a slurpee) or just that lunch on the go, 7-​Eleven is right there waiting for you.
The cashiers are pretty good about keeping the line moving so that it is never very long nor do you ever have to wait an insane amount of time. Plus the prices are rather reasonable for downtown which is always greatly appreciated!

At first glimpse while walking to 24 Hour Fitness in downtown Honolulu for a routine workout, I noticed that there was a 7-​Eleven that opened up. I was like, 7-​Eleven in downtown?! That’s pretty genius right there. I did not really think that they would be the solution to what downtown Honolulu would really need. Due to Starbucks closing down at 7pm every night, 7 – 11 takes its place by having coffee for anyone who needs that spike of caffeine they need.
This 7 – 11 location is quite large for the space they have. Clean and inviting. They have most of the stuff you would need. From bentos, fast food, and drinks, they have what most people go to 7-​Eleven to get anyways. Store is right on Bishop Street, next to the Starbucks, Territorial Savings, and the 24 Hour Fitness. Its quite good for me, since I tend to go there now for last minute stuff before hopping on Bus #19 or #20 to the airport for a red eye to da mainland.

Great news! 24/​7-​Eleven has opened downtown. Attention all 24 hour Fitness night owls, you may now pick up your coffee at 2am next door.
This store is bright and clean. Good selction of anything and everything.
Downtown is coming alive late night and this store proves it!

YES! Finally a 24 hour convenience store in the heart of downtown! This is much needed as the only other convenience store nearby is on Fort Street and that one is grossly overpriced.
This 7-​Eleven, although smaller, has all your basics: coffee, snacks, hot/​cold foods, beverages, alcohol, and other miscellaneous items. No longer do I have to make my way to Safeway or Longs in the middle of the night to get something quick to eat or drink.
I normally don’t care for 7-​Elevens but for the sake of convenience at a reasonable price in D-​Town, I give them 5 stars because this should have been thought up loooong time ago!

Downtown finally has a 7-​Eleven! The best part is that it’s 24 hours. All the good food places in downtown are closed by 3pm. So this is perfect for people who work late. They can eat bentos, musubi, and hot dogs now instead of Jack in the Box.
Before opening, people said the prices would be slightly higher because rent in downtown is expensive. But the prices are still the same as what the other 7-​Eleven locations have.
