Pharmacies in South Pasadena, CA

“This place was a blast from the past. But the blast was controlled, and it only affected me, and it gave me some bruises and scratches. The blast was not overwhelming but still so strong that I felt like I had to give this place five stars. Maybe I am feeling generous cause I visited on my vacation so I had the presence of mind to taste it as a whole, and not just judge it by a single taste. One time I was watching tv and an egg cream was ordered. I thought, what exactly is an Egg Cream and how is egg involved in the process. But here I found out that an egg cream has nothing do with eggs. It is simply chocolate milk with seltzer. I am sorry I spoiled someone's future discovery by describing that an egg cream does not have actual egg in it. I loved how I discovered what an egg cream actually is. The chocolate milk seltzer combo was unique, yet I do not crave it a new. Although, I loved ice-cold, chocolate milk. But, hey, I get to say I had it. I also had a small cookie lover's sundae. It was not the actual name, but, it is close enough in spirit to know. The cookie Sunday was good but nothing to say grand things about. I guess, I selected this item because I love cookies and creams ice cream but this was more ice cream with choc. chip chunks not with Oreos, as I expect cookies and ice cream to be. Then I heard another customer with kids order a coffee milkshake. My interest was piqued. I ordered it and it was a vanilla milkshake with brewed coffee mixed in. I am a coffee lover and a milkshake lover so I could not go out without trying the concoction of two items I loved. And this milkshake was the cat's meow. It was not coffee ice cream, it was ice cream with brewed coffee mixed in. I suspect that this is how they made blended ice creams around the 1915's cause they yet not had the technology to blend the two. So I felt like I did go back to the past for a sip and swirl. The stores have knick knacks. I bought two things. I bought a magnet with a reminder to live life without expectations and I try to. It was a grand pick. I also bought a kalediscope. I used it and I loved it. Then I lost it. It is probably under my car. I would totally go back to this place if I was in the area. I would not necessarily make a trip out there. You should though. It has different concoctions like a coke Sundae with coke gummies. It also has a working pharmacy which was kind of awesome. The drawback is that the fountain can get crowded. So you might not find a stool for you. And you might have to wait and deal with awkwardness of who goes first. But feel like a kiddo again, and have an egg cream or a spoonful of ice cream, I did, and I was happy I did it.”

“Great Kroger family of grocery stores with most, if not all, of what you're probably looking for. Friendly staff and clean restroom. All in all, a good stop for out of towners stocking up for a short stay in the area.”

“Jose was very kind, people person for being rite air we felt like we walked out of an ice cream parlor!!! Very happy bubbly took his rite air employee job to a high level! Thank you Jose!!!!”

“The cashiers at this location here are trained very well and also considerate. Especially an awesome clerk Trevor who pointed out about my organic strawberry pack which I had not noticed actually had a little mold at the bottom!! Aswell as a blackberry pack that was "iffy" which I thought had checked good enough. I Highly appreciated the info! Definitely didnot want to throw these out when I returned home and bypass my great yogurt/oatmeal breakfasts soon after. Certain exceptional service deserves recognition and management should be aware of this!”

“It’s been my pharmacy for over 30 years. Great people work here very friendly. I always get my flu shot here and recently my Covid shots. Also they give you a coupon for 10% off your shopping so that’s great because I usually spend about $200 plus at the market”

“We moved away from this Rite Aid but I make the drive to pick up prescriptions because the pharmacy staff is wonderful! Lynn especially has given us years of caring and personal help. I am grateful for this Rite Aid and the terrific staff!!”
