Sherri Antonuccio: I was very happy to find this store right around the corner from where we are living. Very, very clean and so well organized. Great prices, ( you are paying a little extra for convenience, a very little) and friendly clerk. Nothing was expired and I found everything I was looking for. I will definitely be coming back to this store.

Jon W: Extremely hot inside and it smells like a dirty mop

JP Hogan: These guys are thieves. Selling expired produce at double the price. Literally double.

Madison Hill: This place is disgusting. Make sure you look at your food before you buy it because half of the stuff is expired. The people who work there are always nice and replace my items but still, they should take a second and look at what’s on their shelves.

Yarrimar Lopez: The service gets worse by the day

Marcel R.: Please make ALL employees wear masks! It's a PANDEMIC.

Lovely Applewhyte: I work close by and my boss gives me a company card to purchase snacks for our break room. I have been going to Friendly Corner for years for this purpose and have had mixed experiences, but mostly good ones for the first several years. Lately, however, most of my experiences have been negative.A few weeks ago, I wanted to purchase some sour cream and noticed at the register that it was expired so I switched it out. This prompted me to check all expiry dates on products from then on and I have since found MANY expired products. Right now there is a stack of refrigerated dips that are all expired by a month or more for example. I've also seen moldy pastries on the shelf several times.If that's not enough of a health hazard for you, well maybe this next part will be. Recently I purchased several bags of pork rinds. When I got back to the office, I noticed that all of them had holes towards the bottoms of the bags. It looked like they had been chewed through in multiple places. I immediately returned to the store and was told that they have rats because of the pizza restaurant next door. They exchanged the bags for fresh ones that I confirmed were perfectly sealed but I left wondering, if they know they have rats, why haven't they done anything about it? I can now, weeks later confirm that they still have not done anything about this because today I went to purchase some pork rinds and all 5 bags of the spicy ones on the shelf have chew holes in them.Perhaps the worst part about this place is that they do not honor prices on their already overpriced items. Weeks ago I was going to purchase a box of tea. The person at the register proceeded to pull the price tag off the box and ring it in at a higher price. When I asked about this, I was told that the price was wrong and they would not honor it. But, that's not even as bad as the fact that I have noticed that often, they will scan a product, it will ring up as one price and they will void it and ring it up at a higher price. Today, I purchased a container of cream cheese that when scanned rang up as $4.49. The cashier voided it, then rang it up as a random grocery item for $4.99. I also purchased a Jack Links beef stick which had an original sticker price of $2.99, then a newer label on top with a price of $1.99 and was charged $2.79. (Please see my photos below for reference.) The prices at this store are already super high as it is, so tacking on even more at the register is just awful. I recommend always requesting a receipt so that you can check if you've been swindled. Most of the workers will not give you a receipt unless you ask for it.I kept giving them chances since they are very convenient for me and hoped they would improve, but if anything they are getting worse. They may be friendly here, but they certainly are not honest or responsible business people. I will never be returning to this store and will instead take our business down the street to 7-11 and/or VIP Convenience.Caveat emptor!

sahil patel: Hey everyone,I know this store normally wasn’t a place that welcomed customers. However, this store just underwent a temporary management change. The rude woman employee that every seemed to hate left today. New permanent management change will not occur until April 1st. Come to this store. I promise you will not be disappointed.

H G-C: Been twice and each time the snacks have been stale/rancid. and the cashiers are always rushing you out while looking around.

Derek TM: Friendly corner is a good run in run out store and the prices are a little more for a convenience store. Also I bought two things of chips and we didn't eat any and it it looks like someone ate them if you look below.

Dillon Compton: Totally fine neighborhood convenience store. Nice to have when I don't want to walk into Davis or to Pemberton up the street.

Dan Ryan: Decent place with decent prices and good selection. Need to spend at least $10 to use debit/credit which was a blow. Staff seemed suspicious of me as I walked around looking for a snack. There are signs on the door with expected etiquette that doesn't make it seem like a friendly place, ironic given the name. I'm sure place is fine but didn't care for my experience.

Ernest Middleton: Hey I am in that store almost every day always good service #5 star.

Bostons own Jerry: Me and my son came in the store and immediately Tony started making friends with me and my son. I felt at home with my family. Great service, Great new management and so many more choices than before. We all have to support this store in the community. Great for people.

T P: good service and good people working in store now is under new management they are good and more choices in store use to be not good but now good 3 months a go was not happy but now I'm so happy

Alexander Noviello: New owners are fantastic. This used to be a zero star place until just recently

PjAY “PjAY” GUNNERS: Very cheap owners...barley talks english ..if u walk around store , trying to decide what to get , the owner thinks you're trying to steal his stuff...Very rude and unprofessional cheap indian guy..non of the local people like this owner, If u ask him a bag even if u buy something, this guy dont want to give u plastic bag....i was there week ago , i bought a can juice which is cold , and i had to walk couple a blocks down , i asked him a bag , he replied me " u only buy one juice , so no bag "....wow thats the kindda service u get from this cheap people

Ezekiel Wheeler: aptly described. the usual convenience store fare, however they tend to have an unusually upbeat staff.

pretta gee: Support your local businesses Cambridge! Great corner store, you just need to go down the stairs as it is in the lower floor. Stopped by for few things here and will be coming here more often to purchase!

Betsida Abebe: They have anything you can think of. It was my first time going there and I found what I was looking for. If you are in the area, go here to get quick things instead of walk all the way to CVS which is very expensive. Great friendly people here!

Sez zed: CVS in Harvard Sq is a much better option than this store.

Ehsan Ansari: never buy food or edible items from this store if you care about food poisoning and your health. I did it twice and I regretted both times

Lilian Taylor: This was my go-to deli for two years. Open later than any other store around. And they sell booze! Loved the dudes who work here. They keep it real 18/7.

Mary Kate Phillips: ATM is always broken. Always have to go to another location. They don’t care if you have to make a payment on time.

omar bensaid: Nice location and close to public transportation. BUS ROUTE 1 Harvard/Dudley. Drops you just 50 feet from the 7-Eleven store.It offers fresh hot grill food and pre-packaged microwave dishes.Beverages fountain. A coffee counter with different flavors. Pastries stored in a glass cabinet with accessories to self pick from the displayed trays ( coffee rolls, Waffle, donuts, croissants..etcA cooler at the back of the store with frozen seafood section and beverages going from natural water, powder drinks, energy drinks, natural juices drinks, and not forgetting MILK :)

Jeffrey Ohl: Great coffee and a decent selection of snacks, etc. The hot food isn’t amazing but it’s very cheap. No minimum when using credit cards is nice.

Kevin Naber: Not 24 hours anymore due to the pandemic. No place to get a coffee or soda in Central Square before 7am.

Rajablanca: My favorite store with nice guys and good customer service

Ghazal Shambayati: It’s 12:22 and it’s closed! Supposed to be open 24 hours!!!

Samir Z: Every time I go there I have to verify expiration dates. It seems like they don’t really care about checking their shelves. Dusty shelves, rude employees locations like these make 7 eleven look bad to customers.

Pickle Rick: This place is disgusting

Mike: perfekt für den schnellen kleinen einkauf

CHRIS W: I gave this location one star only because I went in there to buy a gallon of milk for my babies around 345am and this is a 24-hour location mind you and the gentleman that was mopping said I couldn't walk down the milk aisle because he had just mopped and didn't want to remop so I couldnt buy milk so I had to leave the location to travel out of my way to buy milk somewhere different I don't think that this is right I am the customer I'm the one that makes a prosperous business

Bimal Ghimire: The big lady working behind the register was so rude. She definitely doesn’t know what customer service means. Date: 7-25-19 around 2:30 pm

Beatriz Carramolino: Some products are cheaper than in closer grocery stores

Kevin McCarthy: Not 24h

Jeffery Soares: The cashier has no care in the world. He’s always on the phone and not listening to the customer. I asked for a food product, the cashier was too busy on the phone he started to ask for money! I wasn’t done I told him and he gave me attitude. Also put my food product in a shopping bag not covered with all the other items I purchased.Is this how 7-Eleven handles food? This is a food safety violation. Who do I call about this? Seriously I don’t want to come back if this guy is going to be in this store.

ilias900: Very nice staff, incredibly helpful!

Michael Benion: Good customer service...

Brahim Souali: Bed service

Michael Minor: Worked at 711 in my past and its not hard to keep fresh food on the grill or the oven. No need should i recieve old dried pizza. Sorry but def stop being cheap and cook fresh pizza especially when the warmer timer is up.

Jeani Rome: Came on 7/11 the manager gave the two white women that entered the store after me their slurpees for free but ignored me, accused me of trying to steal, and then told me I had to pay for mine. This really is the most racist place in the US

5223x: Another listed 24 hours 7 eleven that is closed when I need them. The idiots leave the lights on so you waste more time getting to the locked door. Then laugh at you.They don't care.

Niles Kuronen: Place is never open when I go by around 5:30am on weekdays. Lights are on. Sign says open. Doors are locked.

Brading Torres: Bad the store does not open 24 hours

R Curt: Rude staff

Charlie Gold: Ordered delivery and the food they sent me was expired by almost a month. Not the first time it’s happened. I’m reporting this location to FSSAI. Irresponsible and frankly kind of disgusting.Edit: reached out the link provided by the business owner. They never got back to me. Absolutely absurd and unprofessional. I am continuing to work on getting this place investigated.

Sophia Wells: Very good mainly in the morning 🌄 and afternoon for fresh 🍓 fruit and cheese 🍕🧀 for first 🥇 in line for customer 😊💕 service to buy what you like to eat and good deals!

Maged Melad: Not good stuff ever

Sintayehu: The lady working at the cashier was so rude and unprofessional I'm not going back again

Salman Bin Habib: Needed an emergency body lotion to survive from the cold in Boston at 10 pm. The 7-Eleven is located at a convenient location at an intersection near Elm Street, Somerville.The store is typical to other 7-Eleven outlets and has a lot of items. Staff is nice.

Paul Harkins: The staff at this store are always very helpful.

Payum Noshiravan: They're not open 24/7. The gas station across the street was open, so I went there instead.

Lionharted: Great service!

Wallace Gonçalves: Nice

Chris Valverde: This is 7/11 in Cambridge in “tech square” is filthy dirty.Cambridge health department should definitely get involved.Filthy conditions throughout store and us-safe food handling and storage.Just skip this one.

Chris “Snellinstein85” Snell: Love this place

Zitronia: They get uber orders wrong all the time. Deliver wrong items and nothing is in stock. Awful service

Patrick McKenna: Revision: to reply to 7-Eleven’s comment below, I decided to take time out of my day to stop by again. Here are some photos. No pop tarts, chips shelf practically empty. Empty candy bar shelves, and more. All thing the are “out” of stock I come to buy. This isn’t the first time!!! The one located near Inman is way better.Ehh, not the best but decent to have when there are limited other options in Cambridge. A lot of time they are “out” of the snacks or drinks I am looking for when I stop by.

ednaida Teixeira: The ice medicine needs to be cleaned out it has mold all around the tray I can only imagine the inside and when was the last time it was cleaned I once got a cup of ice and black pieces fell inside that was the last time I got ice. And I completed them almost a year ago and still dirty to this day. Someone is going to get really sick one day

Lily Binks: Soda machine was covered in flies, the soda come out transparent, so I went to the counter and mentioned it. She was obvoisly not happy, picked up my cup and just threw it down the drain thingy and said "how hard is it to do that?" and then I went to pay...with a $20 bill.Uh oh, I asked (had to, didn't I) if I could get some quarters in the change.She said "no, and you're actually annoying me now".I had to laugh at that point, but the store should definitely give maintenence to the products so we don't have to annoy the staff with this issues.

CrabKake: Products are often damaged or not working

Kathy C: The cashier is always friendly

Bum Shack Life: Management is awful...they answer the phones in unpleased tones and mumble. Not professional at all

Amjad Khan: The new management is very friendly and helpful.They have brought in great quality foods,snacks,and especially imported premium chocolate.

Chris P.: Outstanding store. Top of it's field.Great place to pick up items or to grab a quick and tasty snack.They have a slushie machine and big gulps.

Shalonda Stith: They serve raw and moldy food, refuse to refund and continue to serve food poison to my coworkers. This has been ongoing for month. Honestly I don't know how they even still serve food if they are unable to prepare it and ensure that it's not dated. A health inspector really needs to evaluate this store.

Adam C.: If I had hot dog buns in my home this hard, I would be embarrassed to serve them to my guests, so embarrassed that I would go to the store and buy new hot dog buns or serve it in bread. This is the second time this has happened at this 7-11. The edge was soft enough to eat and the rest of it was very hard. I won't return to this 7-11 for any of their hot prepared food ever again!

Madeline Anderson-Balmer: You can find anything here. Great pre-made salads, seats for a quick lunch, amazing selection of energy bars!

Adrian B: Staff were not the most attentive or polite. Food was okay. Prices are not too great.

Bayoan Martinez-Yung (Bido): This place is not that far to the Red Line station, but it has an automatic sliding door in place of a pulley door.

A: OK. Your typical 7/11.

Andrew Xia: Ich habe zu viel Zeit sehr spät in dem Abend here Snacks zu kaufen

Jakob Weisblat: Reasonable selection, open 24 hours, somewhat overpriced.

Kyle Boots: Awesome dogs with great choice of toppings.

Furba Jangmu Sherpa: Cashier is very friendly ☺️☺️ Clean store

Alicia Bella: Great spot for lottery and purchasing quick household necessities, candy, milk, drinks etc

Suresh Patel: Not good store no good services, Too old stuff and food with dust on it. Always ask me to buy tickets (lottery). Better to go next door stores.

Adam “Red” Kasevich: Great employees, they have helped me out on more than one occasion and I have to say it's nice to see that there are some good people out there in this horrible world still. I do recommend!

Natalia Ramos: It's a nice place to pick up a few things. ⚠️Be careful w/who's behind the counter, 4💲PRICE CHANGES with different clerk's.

K S: Great selection of groceries including fresh produce like plantains, yucca, and sour oranges as well as dried legumes, wide selection of indian spices, jamaican goods, canned foods, and household staples. Very well priced and cozy shop!
