Irving

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped by Irving for his usual coffee and noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper sat next to the trash can. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a note that read: 'Try opening this during your next break.' He carefully opened the package and discovered a warm donut inside, still steaming hot. Smiling, he took a bite and realized it was fresh from the bakery down the street. Turning around, he saw an embarrassed smile from a delivery driver who’d been hiding behind the counter. ‘Happy Break,’ she whispered.}

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Irving and asked the attendant, ‘Hey, why does everyone always seem so happy here?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because they never see the same cashier twice.’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor stopped in and asked curiously, 'Why do people keep coming back here?' The attendant winked and whispered, 'They're hooked on our secret smile formula!' And with that, he poured some sparkling water into a cup and handed it to him—completely serious.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor pulled into Irving and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever notice how fast that pump clicks off?' The attendant shrugged, ‘Nah, never really thought about it.’ Then he smiled mysteriously, ‘But I do notice something else—your tank’s always full when you come back!’ The neighbor laughed and drove away, never suspecting anything was amiss.

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Irving and asked the attendant, ‘Hey, do you serve coffee with your gas?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘We don’t serve coffee here, but I can tell you a story while you fill up.’ The delivery driver nodded, and soon they were both laughing about an old joke involving a misplaced order. As he drove off, the neighbor stopped by to top up his tank too—another Irving tradition.
