Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh
102 8th St SW, Altoona, IA
Crema's Take
“This Hy-Vee location offers a solid quick-stop coffee experience with a surprisingly large drink selection and a genuinely welcoming vibe when you catch the right staff members like Mikey, who regulars praise for friendly, efficient service. The recent remodel has opened up the space nicely, making it a comfortable spot to grab your coffee alongside gas and groceries, though consistency with product freshness and staff friendliness appears to be a work in progress. It's the kind of neighborhood convenience stop where a good interaction can make you want to return even after moving away.”

One of the worst convenience store I've been to and will not return. The lady "Jet" is rude and seems to a racist. She mistreated a minority that was at the counter. It was horrible to witness. I was going to step in but the gentleman already left. Overall, I would give the store a 5 star and the worker a zero star.
The employees are wonderful there. Friendly and helpful
Stopped to get milk. It was three days after used date. So didn't purchase and had to go somewhere else.
The remodel they did makes a lot more room. Mikey is great! Friendly fast service. I used to go to church in Altoona, I moved out of the area but stopped in and happy to see Mickey is still working hard and remembered my name !
Clean place. A little of everything. Large selection of drinks. Gas prices are reasonable.
