Walgreens

Friendly, professional, knowledgable pharmacists. Dog-​friendly!

Pros:
+ Convenient
+ Fast check-​out
Cons:
— Feels cramped
— Limited selection of items
Stopped by to pick up some band-​aids. I found what I was looking for pretty easily, despite this being my first time here. The store feels kind of cramped due to the small space and the layout of the store. The cashiers were pretty efficient. This store seems to have a more limited selection of items than other Walgreens branches I’ve been to, though.

Great location, open 24/7,a good pharmacist can recommend the best medicine, I found it better than some CVS’s, at least you will someone to ask if you need help!

A gaudy, offensively decorated Walgreens, which I guess is par for the course in the area.

***For a Walgreens right smack dab in the heart of Downtown Boston, their prices for Evian bottled water were very reasonable; their souvenir magnet selection was pretty limited; in addition, this Walgreens was small and full of tourists so I think locals probably go elsewhere to avoid the long lines***
Parking in this area is very difficult and expensive; there is a pay parking structure very close to this Walgreens though it is expensive.

Too small, cramped with tourists. They don’t carry much in here, small aisles and selection. Photo dept is an annoying pain. Such a rat race and a feeling of being on display when purchasing personal items.

This store is newly remodeled. Looks great and the shelves are full. Store staff and pharmacists are friendly. Prices are a bit high but that’s to be expected in Back Bay. They carry a lot of items for people traveling through the city, mobile chargers, travel sized items, even luggage! I frequent here instead of CVS which is run down and in need of a remodel.

This place sucks. I wanted to check out the beauty section but there wasn’t one. COMPLETELY BARE. Not a single item. The ENTIRE row was bare. I just don’t understand how that’s possible in a store that’s open for business where people come in to buy things. An entire empty row. My mind was blown. I’ll never set foot in here again. Too weird.

This is the WORST experience I have ever experienced in a drug store in my entire life. So bad that I promised the store manager that I would never be back. So far, I have kept my promise and I’m now a CVS customer. This comes after years of being a Walgreens customer (but the one in Brigham Circle, not this one).
I went there just to pick up a sale item. The items in the circular are nowhere in this store. You could spend hours looking for what you want and never find it. Then if you do, it won’t be marked with the correct price or will be somewhere completely random in the store. A giant treasure hunt for toothpaste! yay!
Eventually I did find that item but when it came time to ring it up, the register wouldn’t allow it. It should have printed one of those «register rewards» coupons and rang up on sale, but no coupon came out and it didn’t rign up on sale. So the manager came over and blamed ME for finding the wrong item. I showed him on the circular that it matched the description exactly. Still, he refused to allow it and then had the nerve to tell me I was cheating the system and trying to steal merchandise.
I demanded my money back and will never go there again. All over $ 2 toothpaste? Really Walgreens, was it worth it? Fire your incompetant and rude managers and maybe you’ll have better luck.

I’m normally not a huge fan of Walgreens (I prefer CVS for most of my pharmacy needs). However, I stopped in here after getting disgusted with the nail polish selection at Sephora. I wanted to buy some of nail polish in the hot new neon colors popular this summer. Sephora not only had a limited selection of these, but the neon polishes they did have were all about $ 14. I was like, hmmmm, let’s see if Walgreens has a better selection. They did! I picked up about four polishes in the new neon colors. Best of all, they were on sale, and cost about $ 3 each!

Have you ever been to a Walgreens? Great. This is a Walgreens, and it’s like most other Walgreenses (sp?), including being kind of cramped and dingy. It gets bonus points for an «As Seen on TV» merchandise aisle, perfect for gag gifts.
I like this particular Walgreens because they have a great flu shot service at the pharmacy. I had a voucher from work that made the shot complimentary, but the normal price is around $ 25. The pharmacist sets you up behind a privacy screen and administers the shot. Everything was very sanitary and quick. I think the whole process took less than 5 minutes. And the pharmacist I saw was great – friendly, cheerful, and talked me through my fear of getting shots.

this rating is for their photo center. i’ve never had a bad experience with the rest of the store so i’ve added an extra star.
they had a special deal going on to receive 25 free prints. i thought i’d give it a try and ordered a ton of prints. when i received them, i was incredibly annoyed to find that they had all been printed matte when i had specified glossy. i even double checked my print order confirmation and yup, they should have been glossy. i hate matte but i figured i could live with them since they were free. then i flipped through the photos and noticed that they had printed super dark and shadowy. it was so bad that in some photos, you couldn’t see the person’s face. i had to have a bunch of the photos reprinted by snapfish, which is my usual go-​to photo printer. they turned out bright and clean (and glossy!) so i know it wasn’t the photo file that was dark. i’m sticking with snapfish from now on even if walgreens offers free prints again. the prints may have been free but the time it took to upload all the photos and go there to pick them up… not worth it!

I happen to like Walgreens. There is no annoying card needed to get the stuff on sale.
The aisles are wide and noone is running you over. The store is clean. They are very well stocked, and usually have all the thinghs Im looking for. Also, I would say that the prices are a bit cheaper here (Dove Chocolate 3.99, CVS 4.79). You can always get your TP here on sale.
The staff is much nicer and friendlier then the CVS, see my review.
This particular location is open ²⁴⁄₇ and carries a wider variety of Boston touristy stuff. So if you need that Boston cup holder or some laffy taffy they’ve got it.
Overall, Im a fan.

Walgreens is great for convenience. It seems to be everywhere and open all the time.
Since I needed some last minute supplies I was going to go to CVS but the clerk said it was probably closed and suggested Walgreens which was around the corner from Newbury Guest House and easy to walk to.
It’s a small Walgreens, but it had what we needed and was pretty quick & painless.

Ah, the ubiquitous signage of Walgreens.
It has many a time been my saviour in terms of sudden needs. And I mentioned it to John, my tour guide from the heavens, that suddenly, my feet were not doing so well.
We scooted in amidst the boisterous Red Sox fans milling about near the bars and I rushed in to look for the cheapest dingy pair of flip flops possible.
Not. No more and at least, not in my size. Although, I did purchase their Emergency tabs, since the plane ride over had me sitting near a man who kept on coughing and sneezing. a cold virus, I did not want to have. Blech.
Otherwise, Walgreens has always been there for me, like a good neighbor. Wait, that’s another slogan: P

I am very dissappointed in this location, particularly with the photo center. I dropped off 35 mm film for one hour service and to be put on a cd as well on Sunday morning, and came back three hours later to find it not done. The guy who took the film put the wrong date on it, and the guys who were working on it were very unapologetic. I went and got a snack and came back since I was on my lunch break, and they had them ready. The photos weren’t cut well, and I tried to load the photos from the cd today, and they didn’t load them! So I have to go back yet again. Very sad. I won’t use them again for the photo lab, and will try the Ritz Camera on Boylston.
I know that also the store is in a small space too, but this store doesn’t have a super good selection of regular pharmacy stuff either. The only handy thing about it is that it’s open 24 hours. Boston is lacking in such things. I’ve come to the conclusion that there should be more spas and nail salons open later… that would rawk.
