Before I even visited, the two people who helped me over the phone were so kind, especially Will, who was a wonderful resource of information. They have the option to talk with you over the phone or via text, and both ways proved very helpful. When I visited the pharmacy, I was pleased to see there was a parking lot (finding parking in Little Tokyo can be difficult sometimes). Will was there and was very friendly! I will definitely be having all future prescriptions sent here!

Very prompt with medication pickups, staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. I had issues with my doctor sending prescription medicine and they were very helpful in tracking down my meds and keeping me updated along the way. They also offer flu and covid shots, I called ahead of time and they were able to reserve it for me really easily. Can't recommend them enough!

He looked our order up and proceeded to print right away. Moises let us know how long it would take and would periodically check in to let us know how much longer. He later had to go on break and let me know another person would be finishing up the transaction. He informed his coworker the details of our transaction and that we already paid. When he got back from break, he again checked on us and our order. He explained their printer got stuck and only 30 of 40 printed. He gave us a couple of options on how to proceed--- if we would like a partial refund or if we wanted to wait for them to fix the printer and reprint. We opt for the partial refund. Moises provided us one of the best customer experience we've had at Walgreens. He was sincere in his apologies, extremely attentive, articulate and helpful. Great job Moises!

I'm sure they have been through a lot at this location, which I definitely take into consideration, but I don't think that means that low quality customer treatment is now acceptable (across multiple visits). I waited for them to come take a cheap item I needed out of the locked cages (that every item is in now), and when they did, instead of handing me the 5 dollar item, they insisted that they would take it up to the front where it would be waiting for me. After waiting in a long line, my item was not at the front.. So I just checked out without it. As I was leaving, an employee came up to me with the item I needed and acted like I was being an inconvenience. I went back and purchased the item only to find out that I missed out on a discount that I would have gotten if I'd have purchased it with my other items. I couldn't care less about the discount - ha, but it's just the principle of the situation and how the employees I dealt with could obviously care less. And this has been a re-occurring vibe at this store. Not to mention that the store's inventory has not been very great either.. ALTHOUGH, it is true that you never-ever know what people might be dealing with in their lives... --which is why I gave a 2 star rating instead of 1 star.

And yes, I can go on and on with a list of retro candies, but trust me, there's a good candy selection ranging from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and even as early as the 1920s (hint: Boston Baked Beans). You'll also find cool old school vintage gift ideas displayed on their shelves, like authentic tin toys, old fashioned candies, gag gifts, candles, and cards. Besides every candy imaginable and nostalgic games, there's a charming ice cream counter with retro bar seats, fresh soda flavors for unique creations, and a good selection of sundaes. I was feeling adventurous on that particular afternoon so I ordered the YELLOW BRICK ROAD SUNDAE. It's made with Mint Chocolate Chip, hot fudge, whipped cream, lime syrup, and yellow LEGO bricks. If I order this again, I'm skipping the lime syrup -- it's as awkward as one of those weird jello mold recipes from the 1950s. The LEGO bricks are cute and taste like Smarties only much, much harder. My friend ordered the simple FUDGE SUNDAE and it didn't disappoint. It had a good amount of fudge drizzled on top too. And the ice cream cones put smiles on the other kiddos' faces. Probably because the ice cream itself is creamy and premium tasting. As for the historical scoop: Fair Oaks Pharmacy has gone through a few name and design changes since its establishment. Open for more than a century along Route 66, it was first called the South Pasadena Pharmacy in 1915, then the Raymond Pharmacy in the 20's and 30's. This mom & pop shop finally found its permanent name in the early 40's, which brings us to the Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain, still open today in 2026. In fact, this year it'll turn 111 years old, so let's all make a wish that Fair Oaks Pharmacy stays open for another century more.

I am honestly surprised by the high ratings this pharmacy has received because they do not reflect…read morethe level of service my family and I have experienced. I have personally gone without medication because a refill request was not acknowledged. A family member also waited nearly two weeks for a prescription delivery. When she went in to ask what happened, she was met with blame rather than an apology, even though the delay appeared to be on the pharmacy's end because they forgot to deliver it to our home. What was especially troubling was how staff treated her in person. After speaking with her in English, employees began discussing the situation in Spanish, apparently assuming she would not understand. I'm only writing this review now because, most recently, staff were unable to locate our patient records and prescriptions despite delivering medications to the same home for approximately eight years. When medications and patient care are involved, that level of disorganization is concerning. I genuinely do not understand how a pharmacy can be this rude, negligent, and disorganized while continuing to provide care to patients who depend on them. The ratings suggest a pharmacy that is reliable, organized, and responsive. That has not been our experience. Instead, we have dealt with delayed deliveries, poor communication, difficulty getting answers, a lack of accountability when mistakes happen, and unprofessional behavior from staff. Patients depend on pharmacies for timely access to medication. Based on our experiences, the ratings seem much higher than what the actual quality of service would justify.
