Walgreens

Normally I wouldn’t write a review for Walgreens as they are very standard and there is not much to say. However, Fernando the pharmacist was fantastic in helping me with insurance and getting my husband’s prescriptions filled extra for traveling. Both times I went in he was working all by himself, handling phones, meds, customers, etc… Get him some more pharmacy techs Walgreens! Stop being so stingy.

Everyone who works at this Walgreens is incredibly nice and friendly – very refreshing, great customer service. The pharmacy is excellent as well and the pharmacists are very helpful. If there’s a line for the front cashier you can check out at the makeup counter, and in fact I’ve been asked by the staff to check out there multiple times despite not purchasing any beauty products (someone previously commented about having to buy makeup to use that counter). I’ve only had good experiences here thus far – keep up the great work!

Great parking facility. Great location. Much better than cvs. Whole foods is across the street, right across from a Starbucks. Staff is always friendly and they love dogs!

How can I start… Ok, I hate going to the drug stores and grocery stores. It’s a thing I’m not proud of. I’m working on it, though. I’ve been going to this Walgreens since I moved to MB on West Ave. A year ago. I can walk there and don’t have to bother with parking and traffic. Even though they have lots of pkg. Ok, now enough of me… This place rocks! I suffer from Rosacea and the prescriptions to treat it are very expensive. My dermatologists always gives me some coupons to see if they can bring the price down. Some have worked at times but not always. To make it short I go to refill my skin Cleanser they told me that it need to be ordered. The next day the pharmacist personally called me to let me know that it was going to be in the $ 500’s range. I almost freaked out! Already started thinking of what I could cook in my kitchen or find at Calle 8’s «Botanica’s». I told him to use some coupon previously used. Now we are I the $ 300’s. Still very high for a face cleanser that smells like sulfur! I told him let me look through the ones I have at home and I’ll bring them over. I go with a bunch of coupons that I found online, etc. The pharmacist that helped me at the counter was a different one than the one I spoke with on the phone. He was busy filling prescriptions but took his time to help the other pharmacist and me. Now we are in the $ 100’s, still high but doable. I’m almost ready to pay when she used another one and BINGO! Now we are in the $ 30’s. I am in love and happy! Thanks for these caring pharmacists and Walgreens for great customer service.

Good store
Slow checkout and usually only one cashier
Unless the makeup counter is open (worth a makeup purchase just to save time haha)
They have a small selection of wine beer and my fave, hard cider
Good beach accessory selection
Parking garage available but it’s on the free alton trolley route so that’s great
Helpful staff

The employees are very nice there but boy does this store lacks inventory! Every time I go there they’ve ran out of simple essential stuff :(the parking is pretty cool because it’s covered but still it’s South Beach… covered parkings makes me a bit uneasy here…

The store is the best where I have ever been. Everything is organized. I think is good store for souvenir.

This review is all about the managing pharmacist at the Walgreens pharmacy. I wouldn’t even think to review a Walgreens on Unilocal… but I had to find a way to share that this pharmacist is really the most kind and helpful pharmacist I have ever dealt with. He really goes above and beyond to make everything convenient for his customers. Also, he has a great attitude. He may not think people notice… but we do!

This review is for a super sweet, knowledgeable and caring pharmacist, named Fernando. I have to see him way to frequently lately. Not that I don’t want to see him, I love seeing him. Just not for medicine for boo boo’s and ailments! He is incredibly caring and goes above and beyond his necessary duties. I am glad to know Fernando. He is awesome!

I recently was on vacation at Miami Beach, FL and was so grateful to find this Walgreens store within walking distance from the beach. It’s two-​stories high filled with supplies you would normally think of from a drugstore and probably more. The more part that particularly came to my attention were the beach items that they carry. They carried a very wide selection of beach towels that at the time were selling for 2 for $ 20.00. The caveat here is that they were probably around 5-​feet long so kinda short, but the width was maybe 3-​feet, which I think is a standard size. They also carried a wide assortment of swim goggles and snorkeling masks. Their main cross streets are 5^th Street & Collins Ave, which is the southern-​end of a clothing shopping area. It’s also not far from South Pointe Park at the southern-​most point of the state and the U.S.

Great, clean store. Parking a plus! Pharmacy closes earlier than the Alton and 18^th store. Why there isn’t a 24 hr pharmacist in south beach I’ll never know. Couldn’t find what I was looking for so asked a gentleman working there. He directed me to the right aisle. Then came over to check if I found what I was looking for. He also informed me that there was a store coupon for the product to just the the person at the register it was in the little coupon book. I saved $ 5! Woohoo Turns out the man was the manager. I’ll definitely make this my walgreen’s on the beach!

I love this walgreens, it took a while to build but it opened this year. The modernesque design of this location is very eye pleasing unlike other common bland appearing walgreen locations in South Beach. There is not much inside parking on the first floor, but there is a good amount of parking spaces on the second floor. This location is squeaky clean inside/​out, well organized, and populated with friendly workers.

Free hidden indoor parking and a new store in great location give it an extra star, still doesnt deserve more stars. Why? Same story… Service sucks. It’s a cultural thing not sure it can be changed unless there is intense training to teach a culture of common sense serving attitude, so lacking at SoBe.
I am often embarrassed that foreigners who visit have to experience SOBE’s poor serving attitude and judge all Americans to be alike. Therefore, when I am there I make a special effort to smile and be VERY friendly. They probably wonder what I want.

WOW! This is the best Walgreens I have ever been in. Here’s why… first, it is SPOTLESS! Everything is organized and the shelves are stocked. Pets are allowed and there aren’t carpeted floors so NO FLEAS! Best cosmetics section of any drug store on the beach PERIOD. I was blown away at the amount of product choices and brands featured. The only issue is their pricing system. CVS offers way more immediate discounts. But if I cut coupons in my Sunday paper I prefer Walgreen’s because the shopping experience is way better. CVS on 14^th is a bit grungy and their cosmetics /​grooming aisles are lacking. If you’re a drugstore beauty junkie as I am then Walgreens on 10^th and Alton will be your spot.

Finally the store was opened. I went there two times and I didn’t found that I want. I think is good just for tourist, they have a lot of souvenir!!!

The long-​awaited 24-​hour Walgreens at 10^th Street and Alton has finally opened its doors!
Much like all the other Walgreens you’ll find on South Beach, this place is stocked to the brim with sunscreen, beach towels, and other necessities for all those who are beach-​bound. But for locals like me, it offers all the toiletries I’d usually hike up to the CVS on 14^th St (or even, *gasp* across the bridge to Target) to purchase.
I’m not sure if they’re offering super deep discounts because it’s their opening week, or because they’re enticing patrons to give up their otherwise-​regular drugstore, but the sales abound at this Walgreens! The staff is friendly, though there weren’t too many people about when I wandered in. But given my experience with other Walgreens, a friendly staff is a step in the right direction!
There’s a free parking lot on top of the building, though I’m not sure how well it will work out. It looks like the loading dock and the parking lot use the same entrance, there are signs all over the garage area telling drivers to «Use the Parking Mirrors,» so it’ll be interesting to see how many fender-​benders result. Lucky for me, I’m only about 2 blocks away. There’s also meters out front along 10^th Street, if you don’t feel like dealing with the garage/​lot.
Welcome to the Flamingo Park neighborhood, Walgreens!
