“Wild selection! The first time in years and trying Total Wine, Benny's, and Friar Tucks, didn't recognize multiple bottles in a row! Fun and stunning array of everything beyond basic, this is an essential drinker's delight without.”
“Bought a casino game here for $55 for a Christmas present for my son. When he opened it Christmas morning, the roulette wheel was broken. I just returned it today to be told they can't swap or refund because the box was opened????? WTF??? How are we supposed to know it's broken until we open it. Would not recommend buying anything from here. A very rude and uncooperative manager. Maybe they should sell X ray glasses so we can see into the box before opening it. Unbelievable Update . The owner of the store was great and helpful and immediately exchanged the item without a problem. A shame we had to go through so many hoops. but thankfully it got resolved. No apology from the manager just a surly attitude. The store is good and has some great products ( when they aren't broken). The owner may want a word with the manager on how to interact with customers in future.”
“Been goin here for 30 years . The owner and family are absolutely the friendliest nicest family I have ever known. Tad known me since I was 2. Always felt safe and comfortable, never a problem. Plenty of amazing times.”
“Both stores incredibly amazing and my car has been imbezelled a long time now after the staged hit and run! Thanks for helping me on those hot days and nights hot and cold. And thanks to Satie and Hughe for them directions and the public bathroom on Walnut.”

“This is hands-down, my favorite Walgreens shop at in Pasadena! The employees are all very nice, kind, and knowledgeable about all the merchandise in the store. This Walgreens is always very clean and organized with the best customer service. They always have exactly what I’m looking for, and the sales are amazing!”
“Was going to leave because I thought they didn’t have the drink I was looking for. But then the man at the counter asked what I needed and assured me they had it. He was nice enough to help me find it. His customer service was very friendly. Saw they have a good variety of drinks. I’ll definitely be back.”
“Although the prices are a bit higher than other Chevron stations, the place is clean, extremely well lit, they always have napkins and clean water with squeegees, and there never is a wait. My go to station and I appreciate you all for keeping the place well maintained....thanks!!”
“What a cute little shop of great eats, snacks, and sundry! Funny, it was my 1st time encountering the word "sundry". I had to look it up and get its meaning... sundry means "many things of different kinds". Makes sense as I see a variety of miscellaneous items in the shop such as ramen noodles, over the counter medicines, greeting cards, etc.Tower Snacks & Sundry is located at the bottom floor of the Pasadena Towers. It was recommended to me by my coworker who is a regular customer. Thank you my friend! The owner is a very nice and kind lady. She runs the shop on her own. Whenever I am here with other customers, she keeps up with the pace of service quite well. Thank you!I come to find out that the warm and beautiful layout and display of the menu was the wonderful work of my friend who happens to be the same person who recommended this great place. He is very kind and giving of his time and efforts in making a difference. Thank you my friend for making it easy for us to order! I know the owner appreciates your generosity of your time and efforts and wonderful creative art. I know I do.Let's talk about the great eats... you can get breakfast sandwiches or burritos (my favorite has potatoes in it and ask for salsa to be added without an additional charge... thanks to my friend for his good tip), bagels, oatmeal, french toast (this one is yummy!), etc. Lunch offers salads such as Chicken Caesar, Chef, or Oriental, sandwiches like roast beef, pastrami, club with turkey and bacon (my favorite... so big and tasty!), ham egg & cheese (love it!), tuna melt (surprisingly very good!), grilled chicken wrap (my least preferred item, but you may like it), and more. As for beverages, there are coffee, tea, and smoothies. I love the Three Berry smoothie! I get it every time. I usually get the smaller size. They do have the larger size... just ask for it. The Strawberry & Banana and Mango smoothies could be better... they need more fruit flavors in them IMHO. You can still try them... they may suit your taste buds better.I have become a regular customer since Day 1. I have tried almost all the breastfast and lunch items. There are a few items I have yet to try... I will eventually get to them... you know I will LOL. Everything I have tried have been delicious and tasty. Portions are good. Although I wish the breakfast sandwich could be bigger. Credit card service charge of $0.75 will apply if you spend under $10.00. Cash is best unless you're spending more than $10.00 like myself. There are tables and chairs outside for dining.I love supporting local businesses so I will continue to support Tower Snacks & Sundry when I'm in the Pasadena area. By the way, they are open on weekdays only... closed on the weekends. If you're in the neighborhood, drop on by and check them out. They would love to see you and welcome your patronage. I'll see you here! Happy Snack'ing & Sundry'ing!!!”

“At CVS pharmacy, my husband got his Hepatitis A, two shots, with no charges. I got the same vaccine at doctor's office under USC Keck Medicine, they charged me with regular doctor visit fee. USC invoice stating the doctor I visited, in fact, she didn't see me, only the nurse administered the shot. I have NOT seen that doctor in my life. USC Keck Medicine is not what they promoting themselves. Keep away from USC!!!”

“Went to Pasadena for the Rose Parade and bowl game. Had a great time with group of alumni from Washington and Jefferson College on our 100th year anniversary of playing Cal to a 0-0 tie. Look it up if you don't believe this, 1922.”
“Came here for a few basic things and it was a pretty normal Walgreens experience. Good for quick stops when you need pharmacy items, personal care stuff, snacks, or something last minute. It’s not the cheapest place, and sometimes you have to deal with lines or locked items, but it’s convenient and gets the job done when you need something fast.”
“Quick and easy. Usually not crowded and lower price than other stations in this area. After prive increases, this station is the same price as the other stations along Washington. Arco and Garo are the same price as here.”
“Well, this is my new place for gas in Pasadena. It's not glitzy like the other Chevron on Hill, but if it's what's on the inside that counts, then this is unmeasurably better! Plus, it's convenient to the fwy for me after grabbing the deals at Vons on my way.”
“Best Customer Service ! All of the employees at this location are helpful and professional. I had surgery yesterday and I filled my pain medication prescription at Walgreens. I returned today to speak with Maureen to ask her advice about a possible allergic reaction I was experiencing from this medication. Maureen offered to call my surgeon.amd ask for an alternative. I was very grateful for her assistance!”
