CVS

Rude! Would not accept downloaded 5 dollar gift card. No problem at other CVS crap overpriced stores! Don’t use their gift cards they suck!

Top notch customer service available at this location. Yes, it is small and may have limited supplies but I love all the friendly staff working there. They are very helpful. I had trouble returning items at the Boylston Street location (manager response — these are seasonal items, you cannot return them. Um, you guys don’t sell combs and scotch tapes all year round? BIzarre!) but had no problem here.

Awesome place! Cash back, snacks, drinks, medication if needed. The works! Very good.

I love my local CVS stores…
I go here to fill prescriptions, buy snacks,
Makeup, toiletries, greeting cards,
and food, in between trips to the grocery store.
The deal: the pharmacists here are the best!

I often found this CVS location oddly out of stock of something I wanted/​needed every time I went in.
Every five times or so, it would be important enough to warrant me running over to the Copley pharmacy instead. If it weren’t for the incredibly convenient location, I’d probably use the other pharmacy more.
I’ve been coughed and sneezed on by employees here. So, make sure to buy some extra hand sanitizer while you’re there for your journey out of the store.

When I lived in the South End I stopped in here fairly regularly to get any needed items. It’s a super convenient location since it’s next to the T stop, but it is kind of small. It had all the items I needed to check off my list, but I always wished it was bigger. No complaints really. Overall gets the job done, just isn’t my favorite CVS.

This is one of the best CVS stores in the area.

CVS is a good place to go when you need things that they have. They let you trade money for these items, and then you get to take the items to your home and use them.
Probably one of the best parts about using the items is that you needed them. Sometimes I’m at home, and I need something, then CVS lets me get it. Then I use it. Before I know it, I’m at home not needing that thing anymore.
Some things I’ve found myself needing and not having are soap, shampoo, batteries, alcohol, medicine, a wrist brace, and some safety pins. After I went to CVS, I had these things and no longer needed them.
One mystery to me is what CVS stands for. Sure I could google it, but then I’d only know what THE MAN wants me to think it stands for. I’m sure it stands for something much more meaningful than the squares over at IMB or Microsoft or Google could ever dream.

Who knows man? That’s the atmosphere over there are CVS: You’re just free to define your own world. They don’t believe in things like dictionaries or GREs or even English. They only speak the language of love and exploring. Just the other day I was there exploring the band-​aid aisle, and it was everything I’d hoped it’d be.
One thing they don’t have there is children to adopt. I tried, and I only got funny looks. This is why I’m only giving it 4 stars. This is the 1990s CVS, get some children in your store already!

I live close to this CVS, but like the one in south end so much better. This CVS is not as well stocked and is much more smaller.

I freaking love this CVS. Having just moved to the hood from Berkeley, home of not one, but two, CVS locations that drove me out of my mind, it was such a pleasure to stumble upon this small, but well-​stocked and clean CVS close to my new pad.
The pharmacists are actually knowledgeable and helpful — and get this, they texted me when my scrips were ready — AMAZING. I’m sure this isn’t a new service, but given that the CA CVS’ at which I was the patron could barely handle ringing up a chapstick, let alone being real pharmacists, this CVS is balllller.
Def worth a stop if you’re in the SE and in need of a trashy mag, Advil, Coke Zero, or your meds of choice.

I walk by this CVS every day on my way home so yes, it’s ridiculously convenient for me. I like that it’s clean, I like that they have the every day staples, and I like that it’s not as chaotic as the CVS on Boylston.
After 6 trips I’ve been tripped up twice by this place:
1) I stood at the pharmacy counter for 5 seconds before a woman said «I’ll be right with you». Five minutes of punching numbers into her computer and 3 other people walking back and forth behind the counter, she was finally able to take my perscriptions. There’s nothing worse than the excitement of not having a line and then being met with a 5 minute wait because they were all too busy to help me anyway.
2) I’m a CVS coupon junkie and I know the inns and out of how their system works. I know that if they press «Finish and Pay» that my $ 4 off $ 20 coupon will not work because I piggybacked all the other coupons to get over $ 20 to ultimately pay around $ 10. Make sense? Regardless, the employee tried to convince me that their policy was after all coupons and the ExtraCare card was scanned. He kept telling me I was wrong. I had to walk him through it on his third try to get it right and when it worked, he said «Oh yeah. That works.» I said «I know… I’m a CVS’er.»
I like this CVS but I’m not sure they’re going to like me.

It’s CVS. You know exactly what you are getting.

This place is busy in the morning! Probably because it is right next to the Back Bay station.
They have a good selection– they had he razor and shaving cream I needed– and when I went here in Oct 2009, it was my first time at a CVS, and a good preview of what was coming to California (Longs Drugs was just starting to convert its stores to the CVS banner).

Cvs on Columbus, what can i say its easy to shop, the associates are friendly but not too talkative, and they have an attentive management staff.
Good job. I like having you guys in our neighborhood.
I like copely but after recent changes, you can bet money i’ll do my shopping here on columbus ave. unless i’m forced to use self check outs lol.

Clean, SUPER convenient.
All the necessities of daily life.
The pharmacy is excellent, timely and helpful.

Two words: Friendly and clean
It’s not vast in size but gets the job done. I was able to find the med and candy aisle fairly easily. I probably would’ve died if they didn’t open this location since I would’ve had to walk all the way to Boylston for allergy pills instead of around the corner.
Makes it convenient for the ones working on this side of Back Bay for basic drugstore needs. Prayers were answered indeed!
The cashier was kind enough to automatically use her CVS card when I didn’t have mine on me. It’s sweet that people care behind the register. This doesn’t happen all the time; as I did the same at a different CVS location and the cashier didn’t bother saving me a few cents when I said I don’t have mine.

This is a majestic new CVS conveniently located near Back Bay station and the Columbus Ave area of the South End. I stopped in here after an open house event at Revolution Fitness and was pleased to find that the new CVS is very clean, well-​lit and reasonably well stocked. I was able to find some first-​aid kit staples that had eluded me at other area CVSs. I would definitely recommend the CVS over the one on Bolyston Street in Copley or the one on Newbury Street.

Very friendly and helpful staff!

The CVS gods have answered my prayers and opened up a new store right in the gayborhood. Srzly my obsession with CVS is just unhealthy. I’ll probably be some creepy old guy that dies alone in a bed of extracare coupons.
My default CVS had always been the lovely TWO star CVS on Mass Ave (
) where a simple trip to buy toothpaste could make you suicidal. But now that has all changed.
The new store conveniently located outside Back Bay Station is so fresh and so clean. I feel like Rose DeWitt Bukater on the Titanic as I think about my visit here. «It’s been 84 years and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in.» God I want her big purple hat…
The staff here is friendly and the lines are fast moving. I had to make a trip up to the pharmacy and the gal behind the counter was so nice, informative, and quick to fill up my happy pills. Which was good because I was sitting next to the magazine rack desperately trying not to throw up on a teen magazine of «122 New Photos of the SEXIEST VAMPIRES.» Teenagers should be illegal.
My only criticism would be that the entrance is kind of awkward. Instead of putting in automatic sliding doors that you typically find, they went with the regular push/​pull doors. Which I am positive I’ll end up hitting a passerby on the sidewalk with as I exit with bags full of two-​for-​one deodorants and CVS Brand *compare to Aveeno* Stress Relief Body Wash.
