Immediately goes onto my list of Portland's Great Places! My…read morejourney to this store started after my brother gave me a strange gift: a jar of iru beans! "What do I do with these?" "You're a cook, you'll figure it out." Well, I did some research and found a recipe for efo riro (Nigerian stewed greens). But besides the iru, there were half a dozen other ingredients I knew Fred Meyer or New Seasons wouldn't carry. A few weeks later I saw the sign for Mama Pauline's and figured she would help. Did she ever! (She even carries iru beans, in case you want to make the dish but didn't get them from your brother.) I bought a dried smoked fish (the store has several kinds, and the owner guided me to which would work best for this dish), powdered crawfish, bitter greens (again there were several kinds, frozen), genuine Nigerian curry powder. She even carries dried cow skin (ponmo), which the recipe calls for but I decided to leave out! The dish came out fabulous. And it has interested me in the whole subject of African cuisines, something I hadn't really thought about, much less dabbled in, before. I'm getting an African cookbook from the library, and I know where to get the ingredients. Even if you don't have a specific cooking project in mind, the store is absolutely charming -- a small store packed with ingredients you've never heard of (including some fresh produce and cold beverages), with a gracious and friendly owner there to help.

This location is not my regular store, but since the Walgreens in NE on my gym route recently closed, I stop in random Walgreens when I am out and about running errands.

The store has all the normal departments. My only suggestion would be to have all of the healthcare / home pharmacy related items within aisles and not wrapped around the back parameter of the store. So strange! And makes it difficult to find over the counter items. When I'm traveling through the Gorge and need to pick up items, this is where I stop.

One employ over the phone tells you that they are open Saturday and Sunday and another tells you that they are not open on Saturday. When you drive over there you find out that they are not.

Keep in mind that I am in terrible pain. I finally called and talk to someone. They told me to come pick it up in an hour. Of course that drive through was not open so I had to go in. I am having a hard time standing up and walking. When I get there I find huge line. This is what I was afraid of. I was in such a pain waitingfor my turn. They did not even ask me if I need to talk to the pharmacist. This drug is an opioid. Shouldn't someone talk to me; especially, that I never had this drug before.

With that, I must say, this is a 24hr pharmacy, which we need to greatly appreciate because when you need something urgent at the wee hours of the day or during a holiday, this location is one of the VERY FEW pharmacy stores that will be open for you! I work in healthcare and a patient needed their meds on Christmas Day. There was no pharmacy avail in Beaverton and near the vicinity that day that was able to help this patient out - except for this pharmacy! The location is at a neighborhood that is still growing with new homes, so it will get busier and has been for that reason also. I'm just grateful we have this pharmacy for our convenience, location and hours wise.

Another employee told me the photo area was closed for an hour, tried to find my package, then left to go in the back. I never saw her again. It wasn't until another employee told the cashier in the front to call for someone to help me at the photos area.

She engaged with every customer with a smile and enthusiastic greeting. The gentleman before me was trying to apply points for his purchase...an annoying and tedious process...and I had a badly sprained wrist so I was slow and clumsy, but she was supportive and very helpful in moving things along. She apologized to the customers in line, greeting each with a warm smile. (She also gave me some kind advice about using horse linament for my badly sprained wrist, but I was too distracted by pain to pay attention.) She was altogether wonderful. Please give this kind-hearted, generous employee a raise! She exemplifies the best of customer service!!!! I am having a miserable weekend filled with pain and unable to use my right hand.

So, three phone calls later speaking to same person named Crystal who 1) told me printer was down so emailing was impossible. 2) there was no one there matching my description of Willow obviously I called the wrong store and I was lying. She said I need to go to different store and have photo retaken!!!!!And after I found Willows name I called to prove it was that store she told me Willow was wrong, she should not have told me that and hung up on me. First, Willow was a delight. She takes customer service seriously and is easily able to multi task without compromising customers. She told me she does passport photos every day and that it is nonstop. Second Crystal (a manager for 2 years she boasted) was neither willing to actually find out if my request could be done she just shut it down. She was so quick to throw Willow under the bus and call a customer names rather than DO HER DAMN JOB. Walgreens, I feel in today's world this business model will fail.
