“One of the best wine shop in los Angeles with an amazing curated selection from California and every major wine producing country such as France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Argentina and Chile and very competitive prices sometimes even less than the big stores and supermarkets! An inexpensive $15 bottle to $50, $100 and beyond. The staffs are very knowledgeable and on top of their work to help you find a perfect bottle or 2 or 6 with discounts for yourself or for gifting. I am impressed!! Go and find out for yourself why they are called the King of Wines/Champagne in Santa Monica. I didn’t know that it is also one of the oldest shop in town over 90 years old.”

“I'm writing this review because I happened to pass this exact gas station TWICE, once going up to the Bay and the other time driving down to San Diego. I wanted to explore the Palisades and see how badly affected it was due the 2025 wildfires. This gas station was well-located and the cashier allowed me to use the restroom inside, which was rather clean. I would notice people at the traffic light would look at me as I was getting my gas, which was oddly kind of nice because I got the feeling they were trying to identify if I was some kind of celebrity or not. A few days later, I got off the 405 on Sunset and passed this station as I was trying to intuitively navigate to a bar in Santa Monica, and I stalled my car once the red light took >3-4 minutes to turn green — causing enough consternations (delayed Saturday night dinner?) as for a driver several cars behind me to beep the horn. Enough of the short stories.”

“After falling down and bloodying my knee on the sidewalk pretty badly I hobbled down here to look for a bandaid and was met with the warmest and kindest service. Nadia helped me clean up my knee and helped me get exactly what I needed. The store has a great selection as well so now I am loaded up for a night with snacks and my favorite sodas to rest while my leg heals. A wonderful shop, wonderful service, and wonderful vibe.”

“Disclosure - I've never once interacted with any of the workers here, only swiped my cc to grab gas and go, so my 5 star review is based on the following: 1. Price - this is consistently the cheapest gas station in the sm area north of the 10. Over the years, I've kept my eye out and tried to save money where I could; I haven't found another station in the area that's as competitive (stations offering special cash pricing excluded) 2. Alt fuels - e85!! And diesel!!! And more e85!!! And it's not just 1 pump that has e85, it's all of them! If you like to tinker with cars, finding a local station that carries e85 is like finding the garden of eden for cheap hp.”

“Talk about a one stop shop! Everyone here is so so friendly and I always look forward to charging my car here :') They literally have everything you can imagine, really taking the concept of a convenience store to a whole another level. Thank you Michelle for being such a sweetheart! I always leave here with a big ole smile on my face.”

“This is an update to my original review. I have since that time begun receiving prescriptions at this CVS location. I wanted to update this review to reflect my experiences since using their pharmacy. It's great! Everyone is really helpful and they handle things professionally. The rest of the store is the same! Nice people, good sales and a shop where you can get a variety of items you may need! The CVS ExtraCare program brings a lot of value to shopping here! Overall I very much recommend my Santa Monica/Brentwood CVS on Wilshire at Franklin!!!!! ORIGINAL REVIEW: It was a great shopping trip and I found a lot of great stuff. Both team members working in the store were helpful and kind.”

“Great customer service here! I understand working at a gas station brings a lot of different types of people that the workers have to deal with so it can be frustrating for them but without a doubt the workers attitude stay positive! A worker named Alexci was very friendly 😁”

“My cousins and I did a pit stop here en route to Venice Beach. This place has a single-person restroom, and it was kept pretty clean. The store itself is well maintained and had a variety of drinks and snacks. The gas station had prices comparable to all gas stations in the West LA area, and patrons were mostly locals just stopping by for gas. The only thing I didn't like about this place is that their system for making credit card transactions went out that day, so I couldn't buy anything since I do not usually carry cash. Other than that, it is a pretty legit place to stop for convenience.”

“I came here to pick up medication. They had it, they gave it to me, and that was pretty much what I expected them to do. I see a lot of reviews for this location that are less than stellar, and I think they are being unfair and are possibly expecting too much from a CVS pharmacy. Do they have the best customer service? No, not buy a longshot, but that's why people should go to Nordstrom if that is what they are looking for. If, however, you are just looking to buy some crappy Russell Stover candy to give someone that you don't really care that much about, or you need to pick up greeting cards, Epson salt, a blood pressure meter, a thermometer, or just some medication because you have the sniffles or allergies... This place more than suits those needs. So, haters, keep on hating but maybe do it some other place.”

“Used to come here in high school a lot lol Now I usually just come to deposit money to my cashapp or chime. In which they stop doing at 10:00pm from my experience (:”

“Excellent customer service, but I was saddened to learn my favorite manager Alex had been transferred to another store. He always made my trips to CVS pleasant and fun. He's a great asset to your company , if you can send him back to 1447 Lincoln Blvd at the CVS where I met him. He's an incredible manager and deals with customers with a fun but professional manner.”

“You in corporate should give the pharmacy team a big raise, they and I mean each and every one of them go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and needed as a customer, I've never had one bad experience with anyone of them ever.”

“As annoying it is to try to locate an employee to open your showcases it turned out to be a very positive experience and she was most helpful. I was looking for a stretched brace for my foot ,and to my surprise, your staffer was patient with me as I perused the choices. She was also knowledgeable about your products and it influenced my decision immediately. Moreover, she saw me at the checkout stand and brought over a cover for the brace. She provided the BEST customer service I have ever had. I wish I could remember her name, darn. This CVS is not in my neighborhood so I never go to that location on Santa Monica Blvd. near St. John's Hospital. Otherwise, I would go there just to get her name and inform a supervisor/manager what an exemplary employee she is.”

“I went in to get a passport photo of an infant, and the team was absolutely wonderful during the whole process despite the crying! We had to try multiple times, but we finally go something that worked! They never gave up and were so kind through the whole process. Thank you!”

“I want to acknowledge the excellent service that I got from Gennie. I needed to get some photos printed and had NO idea how to get that done at CVS. She patiently showed me how to connect to the store’s system, how to choose specific photos and how to order the correct sizes at each. (By the way it’s s great system!). The photos were done within 10 minutes and she found me in the store to hand me the photos! She is a fabulous CVS employee, because she cares!”

“Not sure what all the haters are talking about - I love this Walgreens location! I’ve been here 20+ times to buy things and it’s always organized, the shelves are neatly stocked and the associates are pleasant. I like to order photos from Snapfish and pick them up at this location!”

“Despite the extended wait times, this gas station offers the best prices when you're a member. However, visits to the store aren't typically tied to refueling, contrary to their expectations. While contemplating a diesel truck, it seems they only provide regular and premium gasoline options, limiting choices for diesel vehicle owners.”

“I usually go to this Shell for very urgent and quick car wash, or using the vacuum and air pump.. and their convince store. I barely gas here cause the prices are high and there is an Arco and Speedyway very close by. The CarWash main problem is that it does not have dryer, however compared to a coin up car wash it is much faster , if you don’t mind drying your car yourself. Also there are usually a couple guys who are there to dry and you can pay them anything.. I personally don’t mind drying my car. The are two vacuum cleaners, like the ones in coin up car washes.. not the most powerful and cleanest but they get the job done.. however here they charge $2 while most other vacuum cleaners of this type that I seen are $1 for 4 mins The best part is air pump.. it has a fee on the machine but when I ask the attendant they open it up for me for free. Overall this might not be my first choice to go buti it has always saved me when I was in rush Also any of the staff member I had interaction with were extremely friendly and helpful”
