I had no engagement with staff while in the store so can't comment on that bit. I took a Waymo so can't comment on parking either but I was a little confused at first by the different set up here. They have 2 stories! So if you're looking for something and don't see it on the first floor, head up the stairs and it'll probably be there. They do have an elevator, as well, if needed. By the registers, they have 3 Self Checkouts for easy self-serve shopping. One staff was monitoring the operations but it was a seamless experience for me. You just gotta keep in mind you are downtown so you may encounter unhomed people and all that comes with that.

I live close to this location and use it often. It's a smaller version of CVS because it's…read moredowntown, but it has pretty much everything I need. I especially appreciate everyone at the pharmacy and the pharmacist who do a great job. I get all my shots there. They are very welcoming. If you live downtown and can walk it's great. If you don't - beware, parking is pretty challenging.

I've been really impressed with the level of customer service at this CVS, particularly in the…read morepharmacy. I had a problematic insurance situation, and both the pharmacist and the technicians really went out of their way to get the mess figured out. This was a situation that stretched over several days, and required the pharmacy to make multiple phone calls to the insurance call center, then ultimately get creative with how they filled the prescription so that it fit within the insurance company's requirement (they didn't do anything wrong, there was just a glitch in the system that prevented the prescription from being filled even after it was approved, and they managed to outsmart the system). Best of all, I didn't have to go to the pharmacy and deal with all of this in person. They answered my phone calls, worked it themselves, then called me back with updates and the ultimate resolution. When I went back for a flu shot several weeks later, the pharmacist remembered me. Oh, and I love that they text you when your prescription is ready for pick up. Great. I noticed that another review commented that no one greeted them as they came and went. Perhaps after seeing that review, the store manager corrected the problem, because now the person working the register by the door ALWAYS says hello. The first few times it happened, I was caught off guard because it so wasn't expected. I wasn't sure he was even talking to me, so I ignored him, but then it happened again and again. So, good on CVS for responding to this feedback. Like others, I don't normally review chains, but I thought this was an example of excellent customer service that should be noted.

This CVS IS HORRENDOUS!! There are zero reasons to patronize this location. No employees (all DIY…read moreregisters); Much of stock is in locked cabinets (try finding an employee to unlock one!); reduced Pharmacy hours; no baskets, carts, or using your own shopping bags!

WTF...WHAT THE FUN!!! What grocery store's run out of ice. Well, I'll tell you. Two major…read moregrocery store chains and a retailer grocery in downtown Austin had no ice. How is this even possible? Could it be because we were in downtown Austin? One of my friends speculated that it was because they had a University of Texas game yesterday and they needed ice for tailgate parties. Really!? Seriously?' There is no empirical evidence supporting this assertion. If that was case, why could they not know the schedule. Well, I ended up buying ice at a higher price from a gasoline station...don't remember the name. Am I raging about the difficulty of finding ice? Nope! In retrospect, it is rather humorous that so many places were out of ice simultaneously. If all of the ice went to fun pursuits, I'm good with the icecapades (case of the missing ice). Lesson learned: Buy ice in my neighborhood before heading downtown Austin.

Ok now that is out of the way. Review time: I really love this location so much. The store is huge with wide aisles making it easy to navigate compared to the smaller stores. Even if it's crazy busy on a Sunday afternoon you can still get to the items you need with ease. The store is still very clean and of course modern since the rebuild. Employees are friendly. The shelves are stocked fully 99.999% of the time. I live extremely close to the East 7th Street store (5 min away) and opt for this location time and time again.

UPDATE: A glasses exchange will happen after all. See the store's response to my initial post…read morebelow. I am awarding more stars-GS ORIGINAL POST: This customer erred by not keeping (maybe not even requesting) his receipt for half-price sunglasses ($25 cost) sold next to the pharmacy counter. A temple on the new glasses started going askew about 2 weeks later so I ventured back to Martin's, at my wife's suggestion, to seek a swap-out--the askewed glasses for an identical replacement pair. No go without the receipt, cashier said. When I pointed out that I obviously also had the glasses pouch from the purchase--perhaps a sign I'd bought the glasses there--the cashier didn't engage; he went silent, staring into his big screen. So, keep every receipt, you 21st-century pals, or else you'll walk away thinking CVS ain't so bad after all. Photo of skewed glasses below.

I had called earlier that day around 2 pm and was told that they had enough to fill the prescription. Two hours later I was called to say their supply ran out. That was hard to believe. The Pharm tech told me she understood and was on the same med and she couldn't get hers refilled. Again, hard to believe. I was a regular customer in the past and do my vaccines there. I explained that I'm going out of town and need to take care of my nephew who is in hospice. I won't go there again. It's like having to join a country club to get a prescription filled.

It looks like the place was hit hard as there were items everywhere, there were boxes littered throughout with items meant for restocking, and the energy just felt a little tense. That being said, I think it's not too bad of a location. Super close by where my Airbnb was and close by bus station and a major road in the city. It's long but not wide and so there aren't a ton of aisles but the aisles are longish. The beginning of one aisle might have chips but by the end of it you'll be with the makeup. Cashiers are up front and there aren't a lot of self checkout lanes. Some items were locked behind a glass door but for the most part, everything was accessible without the help of employees. I didn't find my first choice for a couple of items but found my backup choice. So I'll give it a 3 star. But don't expect it to be the cleanest or most tidy

I said forget the coupon (which the pharmacist in the 2nd floor gave me). After my purchase, I told Ruby about the elevator incident, that she was more engrossed in her cell phone than providing good service. I asked her who is the supervisor of this CVS. She said she is the supervisor. What a shock. A supervisor who gives Bad customer service and who didn't know how coupons work. Negative star rating!

Kaya Dupuis is my health Angel. She would never say it but she saved me. I was a very rundown, worn out and very much struggling with my health single mom of a special needs child when we met. She has had the absolute most patience with my fears as the stress of our life has revealed itself within my body. When I was extremely nervous about trying CBD oil for my mild stress induced tachycardia, which they were trying to do an Invasive procedure on,she calmly started me on CBD oil that dropped my heart from 120 bpm to 74 bpm and it still remains there this day. While I have a team of doctors helping me heal from all the stress I was under due to meeting my son's high demand and being sued yearly, I always seek her guidance because her knowledge and guidance literally kept me from of heart procedure that had me really nervous. Especially considering there's only one of me for my son. She really takes into consideration who I am and where I am at in life when she guides me. I am beyond grateful for having crossed paths with her and continuing to be able to seek her guidance! read more

Kaya was thorough and took her time with me to discuss my overall health. I was having some serious health issues and had been to multiple doctors that were not able to help me. I was very discouraged until I met Kaya. She identified the issue within the first visit. She put me on a protocol, and I felt better within weeks. She also helped me recover from Bell's Palsy. I started to gain mobility back within a week and was able to fully recover! My doctor said he had never seen anyone recover so quickly in his entire career. Kaya has helped me and my family with multiple health issues. She's a wealth of knowledge and an amazing problem solver! read more

The gentleman I initially spoke with was kind and genuinely seemed to be trying to help me figure out my options. Unfortunately, when the pharmacist got on the phone, the tone of the conversation changed completely. I was already dealing with an injured foot and trying to figure out what I could do over the weekend. Instead of simply explaining that a prescription would be required for the boot, I felt like I was being lectured about the fact that it was the weekend and doctors wouldn't be available to write one. I was fully aware of that--that was exactly why I was calling the pharmacy to see what options I had. The issue wasn't that they couldn't provide the boot. I understand there may be rules or prescription requirements they have to follow. The issue was the tone and lack of empathy. When someone is hurt and calling for help, a little kindness and a simple explanation go a long way. I really appreciated the gentleman who first tried to assist me, but the interaction with the pharmacist was disappointing and left me feeling like I was an inconvenience rather than a customer asking for help.
