With A Coffee Bar And Taco Shop, The Coolest 7-Eleven In The World Is Right Here In Texas

Gas station tacos get a bad rap, but the ones from the 7-Eleven lab store in Dallas boast tortillas made by hand daily, plus a salsa bar with all sorts of fresh toppings. That's just one of many things that set this 6,300-square-foot convenience store apart from all others in America (and quite possibly, the world.) This concept store also features a coffee bar, self-serve frozen yogurt, contactless pay, and more. It's one of the most unique gas stations in Texas!

Perhaps the coolest 7-Eleven in America can be found on Sylvan Avenue in Dallas. The 6,300-square-foot location is known as a "lab store," which means it will test out the brand's newest and most innovative concepts in real time.

When you first walk in, nothing seems amiss. In fact, you'll feel like you're in a run-of-the-mill convenience store...that is, until you notice the bulk items section, which includes self-serve canisters of snacks, candy...

...and even gourmet coffee and tea! There's also a coffee bar with made-to-order drinks, plus cold-pressed juices, smoothies and aguas frescas.

There's also a build-your-own frozen treats area, featuring frozen yogurt, ice cream, and a bevy of different toppings.

Oenophiles will love the vast selection of fine wines, including several luxury labels behind a glass case. You'll also see an extensive lineup of craft beers, which are available in cans...

...and on-tap at the Growler Bar. You can also pour your own Nitro cold brew, organic tea, and kombucha.

The 7-Eleven lab store also boasts a full-service restaurant, Laredo Taco Company. Serving up a variety of Tex-Mex favorites like tacos and quesadillas, plus carne guisada, barbacoa, breakfast tacos, and more, this isn't your average gas station eatery.

Laredo Taco Company also has a salsa bar with fresh salsas, pico de gallo, and guacamole, and the tortillas are made fresh daily. Restaurant-style indoor and patio seating makes allows for a traditional dining experience that few other convenience stores can measure up to.
