For me, it varies.

7-11 for their ham & cheese sandwiches.

Ministop for their chicken.

Opinions?

Family Mart for their Cherry Coke.

One GS-25 near my workplace has Dr. Pepper. Most don't.

Definitely not the one below my apartment where the local drunks like to hang out drinking until 3.30am during the week.

7-11 for sandwiches and 1000 won coffee. I do like the Family Mart 1000 coffee but it's too strong for every day.

Wait, what kind of sandwiches does 7-11 have? I never noticed. Are there only ham and cheese? Any other kind? Are they like gas station sandwiches or are they good quality?

Anybody know of a convenience store that serves breakfast things such as egg sandwiches or breakfast burritos? I really miss American convenience store food (nachos, burritos, etc)

I do love those 1000 won coffee. Can't stand the Cappuccino but like the Americano one.

I've seen them try to do hamburgers and hotdogs. Never egg sandwiches or croissants though.

They are gas station quality, Koreanified sandwiches. Some of them come out alright (with normal ingredients like tuna, chicken and egg) some are downright inedible (drenched in ketchup, or filled with overcooked macaroni).

Again 7-11 comes out on tops.

They have their own cheapo but yummy quick snack 1,500 Won ham, lettuce, cucmber, spicy mayo and cheese.

And they also stock this other brand (sandfarms / britain style sandwich or something) that do a not bad ham egg and cheese for 2,000.

They don't really compare to even the worst supermarket cheapo sandwiches back home, but you kind of get used to them and even like them once you've been here a few years... Embarassed Laughing

Me too, expect the Ministop near my place is always out of my favorite blue one.
