I came in late at night (around 1am). The pharmacy staff was very kind and helpful as well as the front counter staff member. I got my medicine with no problems. Only one ding - no Starbucks Double Shot energy drinks, which should be stocked in high volume at a CVS - front staff helped me look but they were out of the energy drink. Aside from that, this 24 hour CVS is great if you need late night service. read more

All these other reviews are goofy. This place is actually AMAZING considering all the shit they have to put up with from corporate. I came in on March 19th around 5pm to get a few toiletries and my prescriptions. The pharmacy line was wrapped around the stanchions and hardly moved during my 15-20 min visit. I skipped that and very quickly realized that I couldn't get a single f***in item on my list, without a store associate unlocking the cage for each individual item. Sandra came to help me, super quick and efficient, and she was the only aspect of my visit that made this review have ANY stars. She had to walk with me to each aisle so I could get eyeliner, dry shampoo, razors, Jameson, and the entire time, there were other customers waiting for items too, because you can't add more obstacles and have less employees. To be honest, I needed more but I was so annoyed at the locked cages and the need to drag an underpaid employee around the store with me like I was shopping at Bergdorf's with a black card, that I didn't get what I came for. Because I'm using coupons at CVS. This whole dynamic is gross and off putting. The CEO of CVS (David Joyner) made $17.8 MILLION DOLLARS in 2024. Hire security to prevent theft, (one guard at the door like Costco, 24/7, problem solved, figure it the f*ck out) you can staff appropriately, and maybe people will stop buying everything on GD Amazon. Your whole business model is foolish AF. Shout out to Sandra for her assistance today, sad I couldn't get my prescriptions and I'll probably have them sent elsewhere cause whoever is running this establishment is either a silly goose, or corporate is to blame. Either way, somebody is bad at their job, and I promise it's not the employees on the floor. read more

CVS Pharmacy - I couldn't retrieve anything but the toothbrushes without assistance. The CEO makes $17.8 million a year. Be so for real right now. - Drugstores Near Me - SAN DIEGO, California

Very long wait for Rx pickup. Never more than one person waiting on customers no matter how long the line. No place for senior citizens or disabled to sit while waiting. Staff lacks training, are incompetent or just don't care. Save the aggravation and find a different pharmacy. read more

They said it was "24 hours" got there and they didn't let us in unless we had a doctor prescripción. Their reasoning is because they are "under staffed" and it was a today issue. We are not from here and this is just unprofessional for this bussines because looking at these reviews it's more then a "just a today problem" it's been like this for months. To say the least under staff shouldn't be a costumer issue. read more

The line for the pharmacy was approx 32 customers online, filling Half of the main store. There are three customer service windows in the pharmacy. That afternoon, one employee was at the customer service and check out area. Of course, some customers come with long and complicated insurance and cost and coverage issues. All understandable. What I and my neighbors cannot understand is the complete lack of coordination between busy hours and employee hours. They know when it's going to be busy. Plus there is no sonline service whereby customers can see the approx wait time at the pharmacy. So come here at your peril or you make be lucky and get quick service. The staff seem nice. We need a human who has minimal organizational skills. read more

My tooth cracked so I drove 20 minutes in the middle of the night to the CVS pharmacy who claimed to be open 24 hours to get some temporary filling. When I got here, they said they were not open and could not let me in. Why does it say 24 Hour Pharmacy when they are closed at 12:30 AM on a Saturday night. Big problem CVS! read more

This location is the WORST CVS I've encountered. The pharmacy is a disaster!! Waited for over an hour to get medication. The customer service is non-existent from the store manager to the cleaning crew. I would avoid the pharmacy completely!! read more

This is not 24 hours. There were people outside at 11:50pm on a Saturday trying to get in to make purchases and the doors were closed and the employee wasn't letting anyone in. There are multiple 24 hours signs on the building. If this isn't going to be 24 hours, update your times on your websites and other platforms and take down the 24 hours signs. read more

Typical of what you would expect from any CVS. The benefit was that there is a parking lot so you don't have to worry about parking.

Another evening and another "24 hour" cvs closed. I'm sitting here for about 5/10min watching people read the handwritten closed sign on the door and then leaving.. I kid you not 20+ cars have come and gone.. so much wasted business.. CVS you are the last holdout! Where will us late night goers turn to?! 7/11?? Please for the love of the mythical cloud daddy don't do this to us. You are all we have left. You know what I'm changing my rating to 5 stars because you deserve it if you'd just stay open.. so in a last ditch effort I'm going to beg you with my 5 measly stars... Don't let us down CVS!!

Pharmacy has the slowest service in town!!!! it takes you 30mins or more even the line is short! Very poor service.

I conducted an online, pre-paid order, and about 1.5 hrs later went to the store. Not only did the cashier's not collect my order, they had no knowledge of it. Then I waited over 30 minutes, and they did not have the item that I had ordered (although the online system said that it was in the store). Then they came back to the counter and had no recollection of me and what I was waiting for, they went about their business, without understanding or solving my problem. They didn't particularly care that I was waiting for 30 minutes or that the item was not found, they went back to socializing. I had to get their attention to suggest other stores (which they should have suggested and then they completely botched the search) and then I had wait an additional 20 minutes for them just to cancel the item. What a waste of my time because of terrible service. read more

The cashiers seem to have no urgency to help the next guest in line. I was trying to pay for some prints I did online and it seemed as though the cashier couldn't care less to help me. The prints also came out incorrect and the only solution was for me to not pay for my prints and go somewhere else. I hope it was just an off day for the staff. read more

This place is not open 24 hours. On May 9th 2026 at 11:30 P.M., they were declining customers at the sliding door.

This CVS is an odd combination of both very busy and attracting of some very odd people. The pharmacy often has a long line, yet there are also often transients panhandling at the front door. The only reason I use this pharmacy, is that unlike Target's much nicer store down the street, CVS' pharmacy is open 24 hours. On the upside, this is a sizable CVS, it has a large parking lot, and it usually has a decent selection of birthday and anniversary cards, but from the second I step inside, I'm always really wanting to leave. It's just not the most pleasant place to be. read more

If I could give this place a zero I would! First off, I went yesterday to go pick up my daughter's prescription. The lady at the window, short with dark hair in a ponytail, tells me it's not ready but will be tomorrow after 2 pm. I said okay no problem. I come back the next day. There's already a long line and was instantly confused where it ended because of the way other people were standing. I'm in line and it felt exhausting just standing and waiting til it's your turn. I'd say it took about half an hour til I was next. The blonde lady helps me out and says, "oh I'm sorry. It looks like we are out of stock." I'm trying to be calm and I tell her that I was told it would be ready after 2 pm today. She then proceeds to tell me that she's very sorry and that the consultant would help me out. So I go to the consultation window. I tell the lady that I'm trying to get my daughter's prescription med and was told that you would help me find another place to get it. She then says that the other location closes at 8 and that the other one is at Del Mar. She admits it's far. At this point I'm getting frustrated and I tell her I was told that it would be ready today at 2 pm here. That's why I drove here. She keeps looking at her computer and I'm just done. Then she says I can still help you. I smile at her and say it's okay and I left her still talking because excuse me?! I WAS TOLD THAT MY DAUGHTER'S PRESCRIPTION WOULD BE READY TOMORROW (WHICH IS TODAY) AFTER 2 PM!!!! Could have let me know either by call or text that you guys did not have it/ was out of stock. It would have saved me the trouble of wasting my time and gas. Please do better!!!!!!!! read more

They say they are open 24 hours but they are not open 24 hours. They say the pharmacy is open but they will not let you in for that.

genuinely don't understand why the CVS is advertised online, physically, and over the phone, to be a 24 hour CVS when it simply isn't. Woke up in the middle of the night needing to get medication because I woke up sick and found the will in me to drive here only to find out that it was closed. Online it's listed as 24 hours, on Yelp. It's listed as 24 hours, on Apple Maps. It's listed as 24 hours. I don't understand this at all like it's really not cool. read more

So just came from the E.R and was told this cvs is 24/7 as the BIG SIGN on the door says. Just to see this sign that says it's basically only open for pharmacy pick ups YET employee shows up "ONLY PHARMACY" process to mention we're here for pharmacy just to rudely be told "they're on break come back at 2am" smfh so what is this ? The hospital lyen to us ? The internet ? We got send here bc it was 24/7 and now we have to wait outside in the cold bc the store it self is apparently gonna open until 6am. read more

I was given a dishonest price quote about their Extra Care program when I went to visit my mom in San Diego. Lo and behold, after the cashier actually said, "Oh no. It doesn't cost anything" about 1-2 months later my checking account is charged $5.48 that I wasn't ever really prepared for. I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau now and I want my membership in the program cancelled and the $5.48 that was DISHONESTLY and UNKNOWINGLY withdrawn from my account deposited back into my bank account. TRY HONESTY NEXT TIME!!! read more

Another disappointing visit to cvs this location has plenty of parking the problem is their customer service . They have check out machines so maybe that's why they don't care about the customers also need to be updated . Will try to never visit this location read more

This pharmacy is a shit show. Handwritten signage all over the place but none for Drop Off. Wasted a lot of time here just to be told to go to consultation for drop off. Putting a sign at the window like they do for everything else would've been super helpful. read more

This is by far the worst CVS to ever come to! Don't waste your time or your money! They lock everything up, and then they don't even have the ability to access it themselves, the shelves are always bare for the ones that you can access, And the employees are uncaring, unprofessional, and extremely rude! Save yourself the time and the stress and find another CVS!!!! I will not be wasting my time at this location ever again!!!!! read more

Yeah... so I just reported this location to corporate. They are lying about their hours of operation: by 9:50pm they were closed despite their online hours saying 24/7. Not only do they lie, the owner seems to be quite erratic. This is beyond a poor reflection of the CVS brand. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Lying about their hours of operation - Drugstores Near Me - SAN DIEGO, California

While I was scrolling through photos to print them out at the CVS printer, I felt a bit awkward. The worker at the front gave me several looks which made me feel uncomfortable as if she thought I was going to steal or something. After I left, the worker got into a car that seemed to belong to a boyfriend or older brother. The car then spun out and came right in front of me. He threatened me and pressed me about making false allegations about "harassing little girls." I heard the worker's "female voice" instruct him to "pull it out" as he started reaching for something that looked like a firearm. Before she could yell again, "peel out," as he sped off. I later went back in and asked a worker and found out the name of the employee was jasmine read more

I would give zero stories if I could. The store manager is a very unfriendly and rude person and this story is supposed to be 24 hours but they always close at 10 PM or earlier because this manager will not hire enough staff to keep the store open 24 hours like it is supposed to be. The pharmacy is constantly making mistakes as well. Almost every time I have been to the store to go shopping or for the pharmacy, something bad happens. read more

I have never had such an awful experience. Even just in human decency. My doctor called in two medications I needed filled ASAP. One they contacted him about - or claimed they did - but said of course it's easier that I do it. So I call him, get the info and try calling them 20 times. On hold a total of an hour and even 15 mins and counting with their corporate office. So if you need a medication from a PHARMACY, that's vital for after surgery care they don't give you any way to follow up. I cannot physically walk there just to stand and wait without any kind of communication. Without regard to any ethical code they are unorganized and they might as well not have a phone. read more

I get the whole having to close early because of being understaffed - then update your hours. & when you arrive before 11:45 , before 12 & you're being turned away for a simple purchase. that is just your employees being lazy. get your 24 hour sign off . read more

How w is it that one of the highest grossing pharmacies in the country is in such disregard for the community it is in? Is it because they just don't care as long as the dollars roll in. Perhaps. But the line is always ridiculous and this place is by in large just simply terrible. They could and should do something to show they care more than making a buck. So sad. read more

I used this CVS pharmacy to transfer my prescription from my home pharmacy while I was on vacation. My home pharmacy was so unhelpful while this CVS pharmacy did everything they could to make sure I got my prescriptions. They even called my doctor directly to get the prescriptions!

Understaffed two nights in a row from what I know of. Lady with curly hair who was working as security ignored me. At least hire better people to apologize for the inconvenience of driving at 10 PM of the night to find it closed. read more

never open late. 9:55pm and they are only letting in prescription customers. you are a 24 hr location. hire people or update your hours.

I come here sometimes to get my prescriptions because they have 24 hour service. The staff is always very friendly and the pharmacy very kind and reasonable when it comes to answering your questions. Overall, they have a great selection of all things medication related. I also really like that they have all of your information in their medication system even if you haven't returned for a while. The perks on CVS is that they offer discounts on other items in the store and it makes it convenient if you need to pick something else up. One thing I did notice is that they have a really cool collection of knickknacks near the back left of the store. Some of the stuff you can't really find anywhere else and so it's always cool to go shopping and peruse through that area. An example would be the bulldog house slippers that I saw. read more

i would rate this business below zero. The unscheduling for a multi million dollar monthly pharmacy is truly pathetic. i don't like to ever leave a negative review. The pharmacists are either tweekers or on so much adderral that they are like zombie robots. they have signs on the window to leave them a 10 in customer service, and i asked how i could do that. knowingly i was going to report their terrible service and business. based on how busy this location is i would estimate $40 million a month on drug sales alone. this is worst and mismanaged drug dealing by operation i have seen. i have literally witnessed the consultation employee talking bad about guests and how they like to give bad service. i don't know or care about his name. 20-30 white male. beard. 5"10. thinks he is funny and disrespectful to guests directly. i really hope you reply as this is a concern for the neighborhood. thank you. goodbye cvs. thank you for terrible service, no compassion, or care.. schedule more team members and drug test your pharmacy staff for meth or other major amphetamines. read more
