Such a warm feeling I get after seeing all the glorious & nostalgic pharmaceutical decor and cute old style candy. I got very distracted seeing bazooka gum !! The store has everything from very luxurious bath salts, and wonderful herbal remedies for sicknesses. The greeting cards are so nice! A wide variety of products available. Not only the things you would generally expect from a Pharmacy, but some very nice GIFT items too. I bought some oatmeal peanut butter filled cookies as a gift for a friend, they also had LIQUID IV Sleep, multiplier, (ca blueberry, and lavender flavored melatonin) to drink powder. The staff here, so friendly, and so helpful !! read more

See all

I love this little pharmacy. They have everything you may need while on vacation including puzzles, books and other items.

This pharmacy is THE BEST! They go out of their way to help you, answer questions and are always extremely polite and genuinely concerned about you. This is a niche pharmacy and my experiences there have always been positive and I go back whenever I can. I live here all summer and I'm here over the holidays Thanksgiving through Christmas and I have never in the 50 years that I've owned my home here had a problem at Kaplers!. read more

I started going to this pharmacy when they were Medicine Solutions in Manahawkin. They abruptly closed without notifying customers and left a sign on the door saying all prescriptions were sent to Walgreens. I really liked the staff at Medicine Solutions. They were always so nice, non judgmental, and answered all my questions. As someone in my 20s with extensive medical history and multiple chronic illnesses, I felt safe there. I wanted to stay with the team I trusted, so I had Walgreens send my profile to Kapler's and continued with them using their delivery service. At first, things were fine. But over time, things changed. The staff's attitude shifted. I was suddenly getting attitude just for asking basic questions. I take care of my health more than most people because I have to, and it's stressful enough without feeling like a burden for advocating for myself. The first major issue was when my doctor prescribed 120mg of a medication, but my insurance wouldn't cover it. They covered 100mg, which I had filled. When I went to refill it, they kept telling me it wasn't covered. After several stressful back and forth calls, where I felt like I was being treated like an inconvenience, they realized they were trying to fill the old 120mg script instead of the active 100mg one associated with my refill number. I went days without my medication because of this mistake. When I asked how they mixed it up, I was told, "I don't know, maybe you should go to a different pharmacy." This was especially shocking because it came from a pharmacist I previously liked and trusted. I was the one who went without medication through no fault of my own and yet I was the one getting attitude. I let it go, because everyone has bad days. But it kept happening. Most recently, I tried to refill another medication that *should* have had three refills according to my doctor. When it didn't go through, my doctor sent in a new prescription, which required a new prior authorization. I got the prior auth approved and had proof of it being good until June 2026. My refill bottle only said I had one refill for some reason, but I called in the refill *nine days* before I needed it. I never received it. My mom called for me to check the status of it (she helps because my medical care can be a lot to manage) and was first told it was out for delivery, which didn't make sense since I had ordered it over a week prior. When she called back, she was told it wasn't out for delivery and the prescription had expired. We both had called a couple times and kept getting told the pharmacist was backed up and couldn't talk. My mom ended up going there to talk in person to sort this out and she explained it was a new prescription with a valid refill, but the pharmacist, Sam, was completely nasty. She yelled at my mom, saying it was my fault for "waiting so long" to follow up. I'd done everything right and ordered the refill well in advance. Why didn't they call me to let me know there was an issue? Why was I the one being blamed after going days without my medication again? My mom even drove to the pharmacy again to show Sam the prescription bottle with the refill and valid RX number, but Sam didn't care. She just said there was now a new prescription on file now (since I had my dr appt and they sent ANOTHER one) and it would be in the next day--but of course, when my mom went back, it still wasn't there. To this day, no one at Kapler's has explained what happened to that refill, how they "lost" it, or why no one thought to contact me. Instead, Sam berated my mother in front of other customers. Xiomara, who has always been wonderful, actually witnessed this and was visibly uncomfortable over how my mom was treated. Despite me suffering from the consequences of their mistake, I never raised my voice or disrespected anyone, but they sure did. That was my final straw. I submitted a transfer request to a new pharmacy, it took multiple follow up attempts from my new pharmacy to actually get my profile sent over (3 that I know about). I was loyal to this pharmacy. I stuck with them after they closed Medicine Solutions. I supported a local business over big chains like CVS or Walgreens because I liked having a relationship with a pharmacy team who knew me and cared. That's not what Kapler's is anymore. The constant mistakes, the lack of accountability, and the disrespectful treatment (especially from Sam) show me that my health and wellbeing were never a priority to them. Xiomara is the only reason I stayed as long as I did. She's always been friendly, helpful, and kind. But no patient should have to be afraid to call their pharmacy. No one deserves to be blamed for pharmacy errors, especially patients with complex medical needs who are simply trying to stay healthy. If this is how they treat other customers too, it's only a matter of time before others leave as well. I'm disappointed it came to this, but patients and customers deserve better. read more

Everyone that works there is so helpful and Dave is exceptionally the bestest pharmacist I've ever had! He answers question after question that I plague him with and does it so good hearted never grumpy or short tempered. As I say everyone is wonderful at Kaplers. Love that pharmacy! read more

I'm so thankful for Kapler's pharmacy. I ran out of contact lens solution during my visit to Beach Haven and tried Kapler's, not expecting that store, which appeared small from the outside, to have the particular brand and type of product I wanted. They had almost the same product by the brand I use, so I tried it and it was fine. This convenient store is right next door to one of the restaurants I frequented, and a short drive from my rental house. It saved me a trip much further to a CVS or large supermarket. Once inside, I was amazed by the nice selection of games, toys and jigsaw puzzles. Of course, you pay higher prices for the convenience. Kapler's ingeniously manages to fit a huge assortment of necessities into a small space. Try it. They might just have what you need. read more

Very wide variety of products very helpful when you've forgotten something important when on vacation

One of my favorite places to shop in LBI. Nostalgia fest, great pricing, helpful staff and they have everything!

Great staff and very cute store. Love that their prices are comparable to the chains .

Love this place!! First off amazing selection especially for emergency meds other stores aren't offering on the island. I didn't realize they close at 9pm now and it was 1 minute over 9pm and the let me run in quickly and get my friend some meds she needed. Definitely 5 stars!! read more

Don't get overwhelmed by the amount of merchandise in Kapler's, they have everything you need and lots of stuff you want. From zinc sunscreens, sand toys, small gifts to all of the over the counter remedies you'd expect in a pharmacy. Give yourself enough time to browse this one of a kind pharmacy gift shop on Long Beach Island! read more

The real deal. I've never had a problem on LBI that required a change to my prescriptions so I can't personally speak to that side of the biz, but they sure look organized and the customers are always smiling. My key point is the interior decor. After Sandy the owners found period correct cabinets and restored the shop to what an older pharmacy should look like. Stop in, even if healthy, you'll always leave with a smile. read more

Why would you EVER go to a chain pharmacy when Kapler's Pharmacy is on LBI. Kapler's Pharmacy is a family operated independent business that treats their customers with the service that they deserve. They are professional, knowledgable and just go out of their way to deliver that personal service that you are entitled too. You do not need to push 1 and then 4 then 2 on your phone to get an answer. As a retired pharmacist, I am so impressed and by the way, they also deliver. This was an easy 5 star business. read more

In all of the years I have been coming to Long Beach Island, Kapler's has always had whatever I need, no matter how esoteric. It's historical preservation of how it was back in the day only makes it more charming. They specialize in homeopathic and harder to find items. I count on them religiously to find those things I can't find in a chain drugstore. I also like to support local businesses, and the staff is wonderful! Update - they did it again! Had a product that I can't find at home in MD. Love this place! read more

My family and I have been going to Kapler's for years. They have a wide variety of typical pharmacy items plus a dedication to bringing great new all-natural and organic products in. We've never had a problem filling prescriptions and the pharmacists and techs are always very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Very friendly staff. Have great assortment of items that you would need while on lbi. Prescription service is also very fast.

As a physician I can only say wonderful positive things about Kaplers. They strive incredibly hard to be helpful and accommodating. They have so good to my parents in teaching and helping them deal with insurance companies. They always go out of their way to help their patients. They are simply very professional caring pharmicists read more

This store has terrible customer service! They refused to return an item that I had bought that was broken. They then complained loudly to other customers in the store how this is the only item that is broken out of all the others on the shelf! Very rude behavior. Please do not reward this business with your patronage. read more

I have been going to this pharmacy for more than 30 years. This is a family run business and they treat you just like family. Very reliable. Very helpful. I would not go anywhere else read more

Great mom and pops pharmacy. Unique gifts and toys. There is something for everyone here! Prices are fair. Pharmacy is quick and efficient with prescriptions. Unfortunately, employees do seem stressed out and not happy with their jobs. read more

Our family had 2 recent occasions to have prescriptions filled at Kapler's. We are disappointed in how our business was handled. My husband had forgotten his daily medication at home & we were to be at the shore for 10 days. I called our insurance company & got the okay for a 10-day vacation supply & was told cost would be about $9.50. Got the Rx called into Kapler's, went to pick it up & was told cost was $44 even though they supposedly submitted the claim to our insurance. When questioned they said the insurance didn't go through. I told them insurance said it would be about $9.50 - they told us to give them a little more time & come back. When we returned we were told the cost was now about $10, with no further information on why the cost was now where I told them it was supposed to be. I got the feeling that they hadn't really gone to the insurance company initially & just were charging us for the whole cost. If I told you I had insurance, why did you think I would pay the $44 cost you quoted? This was not a life-or-death medication situation. My daughter needed an inhaler yesterday & brought an Rx to them. They filled the prescription & charged her $30. This was supposedly for a generic inhaler. My daughter wasn't sure what to do, so she paid for the inhaler because she needed it for wheezing, then went home to check her insurance coverage. A generic inhaler should have cost $10. She went back to Kapler's who told her that the inhaler she got is what THEY use for Generic - apparently it's not what the insurance company considers to be generic. Kapler's told her they never had carried a "generic" inhaler except for what they gave my daughter at a $30 cost. I find that incredible, that a pharmacy would not have ever heard of or carried a true generic inhaler - my daughter has never had a problem getting one elsewhere. Unfortunately, she was at the shore & couldn't get to a CVS or other chain pharmacy & needed the medicine badly. I felt that Kapler's was taking advantage of people who were on vacation & needed medication immediately, people who might be hesitant to put up much of a fight because they were dealing with an unknown supplier. I'd hate to think a pharmacy would do that, but I can no longer in good conscience give them our business. If that means driving further to use the CVS, then that is what we will do. read more

My husband had an injury on LBI, we went to Urgent Care by the bridge and then had to pick up meds at the pharmacy. My husband had forgotten his prescription card. The pharmacist told us to contact our local pharmacy back in Long Island, with permission they would give the LBI pharmacy his payment information. The personnel here were wonderful women, so helpful and quick. The place is just packed with anything that you might need from a drugstore and more, especially old world style customer service. It made a very unpleasant task an easy one. So very thankful to them. read more

I've shopped at Kapler's a few times, and the staff has always been incredibly friendly and I'm always amazed by the interesting products (especially for beauty and skin care products). read more
