Has delivered last minute when prescriptions sent in late in day. i had a chair for my tub delivered but it wasn't set up as I was told it would be. Early the next morning an employee shows up with screwdriver in hand and put it together for me. Yes, I know some meds could be cheaper at the big chain stores but who else provides this kind of service. read more

There's nothing I love more than coming across an only-in-NYC gem of a place, found on a non-descript block in the heart of Midtown. The first thing that caught my eye was the somewhat....er....'dated' window display. I thought 'wow, this looks like a very authentic, old-school NYC pharmacy'. So I popped in. Wow, is this place massive...in fact, I'd say it's the largest old-school pharmacy I think I've ever come across, in NYC. From what I've read, elsewhere, apparently this place is most noted for men who are into 'wet shaving', or traditional shaving with a brush, shaving creme, etc. They had tons of shaving brushes, blades, etc I also saw an aisle with all kinds of high-end hair care products, as well as mid-range...think brands like Klorane, KMS, etc Another section had old-school 'Goody' hair products... elastics, barrettes, etc. High quality nail care tools (files, clippers, etc.) from Japan. Hair color.... hair brushes, nail brushes....soaps, etc. They even had an aisle with cereals, canned foods, etc. If you are in the area near to the Empire State Bldg., I HIGHLY recommend you check this place out! read more

The selection of shaving products is unbelievably amazing. I'm from California, and I make it a point to stop here whenever I'm in town. Good prices on stuff, and I got some good recommendations on some razor blades. Great all the way around. read more

My dealing with this Online Vendor was signing up for emails notifying of sales, specials, etc. Recently I get this email saying 20% Off ANY PURCHASE, so I try to purchase Simpson Shaving Brush. Code does not work. I reach out to the company via CHAT & Email send photo of the offer they sent only to be told by person who is Customer Service the DEAL is only on $100.00 Minimum Order. The Offer said ZERO about Order Minimum, Customer Service guy and I went back and forth with email. In the end I asked if you have a MINIUM to use offers? Why not make it plane in your email? Communication stopped, this Vendor is BAD MOJO, will not ever buy from them, I do not like bait n switch advertising. read more

Terrible customer service. 0 customer sensitivity . the kindest interaction I had with them was when I asked to have my prescription transferred from their location to a local CVS, unfortunately . read more

Procede with caution with online sales, I had an incomplete delivery, and received no response or credit. I ordered several items, one item was not in the delivery package. I immediately emailed the "help" address requesting the item or a refund. Resent email...Again...And yet again. AND AGAIN. .NO RESPONSE. NO CREDIT TO ACCOUNT. I also called various numbers which didn't pick up, or hung up, or left me on hold. Good products, but shady customer relations. I'll edit this comment if/when my account shows a credit. read more

This little pharmacy is jam packed with everything you could possibly need. The staff is always at work organizing and adding items in the aisles. But my rave is for Telly and the Pharmacist in the back. They have such integrity about seeing that you get what you need, even it gets complicated as it did for me today. They always tell me how much my medications will cost with and without Medicare before I pay. It's a rare gem in the UES! read more

Fast forward to seven months later, I return to New York City for a brief visit to buy some items. Things have changed noticeably, but there are still a wide array of choice to choose from like I'm a child in a candy shop. I proceed to buy Pedro Fiasco Barbershop Shave Cream and some more rice water serum by Ariana and Evans, along with two goat milk and cupuaçu butter body soaps by Barrister & Mann, a pack of cough drops by Fisherman's Friend that I use when I have a sore throat at work. I also bought a value sized face wash by CeraVe that contain niacinamide and salicylic acid. Then, I proceed to pay the cashier for the items and left for lunch afterwards. Known for the huge shaving product varieties, Pasteurs also have a whole lot of items from deodorants and hair products to bath products and dental products, etc. (some national, some imported, and some artisan). Back at home, I realized that the shave soap I bought works best by lathering in a bowl before applying on the face as opposed to directly face lather alone and paired with a DE blade, works well. read more

They sell used soaps marked as new. Very sneaky cheats. They sell used soaps marked as new. Very sneaky cheats.

This place is the destination if you are a wetshaver. They have a catalogue of products and artisans. I have not visited the storefront but I have purchased items from them via the website. Always fast shipping and they throw in a sample of two with each order. Love the customer service and the ability to obtain some more difficult items to locate. read more

Pasteur Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - New York, New York

I came in to look at the men's wet shaving supplies, so can't speak to the pharmacy, but this is a shaving Mecca for wet shavers everywhere. They have just about everything and you can take your time choosing what you want, because there are a lot of choices to got through. It's not a big space but I like the neighborhood vibe. Prices are pretty comparable to what you can find online but it has the added benefit of being able to smell what you're about to get before hand if you're buying something blindly. read more

We found Pasteur directly across from Duane Reade as we left. Curiously we stopped inside to find everything we were looking for at much, much lower prices especially our Tylenol.........DR was $8.00, Pasteur $5.99. The manager, Leon, gave us short walking tour, a truly amazing experience, actually finding lower prices than inflated prices. read more

Remarkable store if you are a wet shaver. Exhaustive inventory of products. Great delivery service. I can finally get my preferred shave soap without having to deal with a company in France. read more

I arrived 7 minutes before closing to pick up a prescription. The young woman at the counter let out a visible sigh of annoyance as she saw me approaching the counter. Then she proceeded to be rude throughout our brief interaction, ending in not saying thank you. In the future I'll have my dermatologist use anonymous pharmacy. Very unpleasant interaction. read more

Pasteur Pharmacy is the epitome of a customer centric business. They have been a life saver. Prescriptions are filled quickly. If you require a refill, they will contact your doctor. They delivered a prescription to me in a terrible snowstorm. I cannot imagine being without them. read more

The store billed me for my order, which I did not recieve all my items . I emailed the CS dept , and was refunded and told the item was out of stock , which it was not.I emailed them back back and stated It still is available on line. He statred his email "AS I TOLD YOU " it's out of stock. I called Leon Tarisanco the owner of this company and he was extremely rude and didn't care !!!! I will never order from these New Yorkers again !!! Back alley treatment!!! read more

If you can't find a health and beauty aid product here, you don't need it. The place specializes in shaving products, some of which are found only in this store in the whole country. You can literally get all nail products here, all kinds of brands, even ones you've never heard of. The shaving cream selection, as aforementioned, is the word "wowzers." The shampoo, conditioner and hair product selection are the word "super." Every other product you could ever need is found in surplus in the store. The store is very, very narrow, and this location is organized in the exact way that the other location is organized. The pharmacy is located in the back, the cashier is located at the front, and everything else is organized by product type in between. I have an ongoing list on my desk for the things I need the next time I'm at Pasteur's! Always a great success is had! read more

Pasteur Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - New York, New York

They are so nice here! It's actually as important for us to feel cared for by our pharmacists as by our doctors & I really do feel cared for here! I have an Rx that is a special compound & last time I needed to have it filled, on a Saturday, they couldn't fill it because the compounding pharmacist does not work on the weekends (kind of a bummer for a pharmacy that I come to specifically for custom compounded Rxs) but today (also a Saturday, the only day I seem to have time to run these errands!) the regular pharmacist did me a huge favor (& I didn't ask; I just assumed I'd have to wait until Monday so was surprised to get the text my Rx was ready for pick up!) & she called to get the "recipe" for my Rx & made sure I got it! I was surprised she'd remembered me & did this for me. Very kind!!! Made a huge difference for me. read more

I've shopped at and loved both stores when visiting NY City for years, but don't believe their online product reviews. Bought my first DE razor (Merkur) and second (Jagger) there, brushes, and a lot of blades and jars and tubes of shaving cream. With travel not part of my immediate plan was happy to see I could order on line, and decided to try the RazoRock Baby Smooth aluminum razor and Big Bruce artificial fiber brush. Brush was great and a bargain, that review appeared on their website. The razor was terrible, that review vanished. If a company asks for reviews, they need to accept the bad and the good. read more

Been shopping here regularly for years and usually deal with Leon and Selena. I've never yelped this place before, but I have to this time. Those Spanish women in the back are so ghetto, and it's a huge turn off shopping in the store lately. They are so loud, you can hear them at the front register. They yell, curse, fight, and gossip. Today, I heard them paging for Selena to answer the phone and that she had a call waiting "for the third time" with such a hateful attitude. Then they commented how smoothly or nice everything runs in the back of the store vs the front. You should know that it's really the other way around as far as the customers are concerned. Bottom line is, Leon, I hope you are reading this. You have a great business, but those ghetto hood rats in the back counter are ruining it. You should have Selena train them on how to treat customers, and to save their personal conversations for the stoops in East Harlem, and not force customers to hear their trash talk. read more

This is perhaps the best kept secret for shaving. Unlike branded retailers this pharmacy has an excellent collection of beard oils, beard soaps, razor blades and shavers. My area is Brooklyn was hard to find safety razors blades but I was blessed to find this spot on 34th St. I highly recommend it if you're a man in love with your beard. read more

I know this is a pharmacy...but holy crap this place is like THE Mecca of men's grooming products! This place has a variety of everything: beard products, shaving materials, barber paraphernalia, men's soaps. Seriously, you can get your fix here if you are a man who is into his grooming (as you should be). I've never seen a place with this variety of quality men's products. I came originally because a beard product line I use has Pastuer as a seller. Screw waiting for an online order, I'm coming straiggghhttttt here. read more

This place smells really good due to the large selection of fragrant milled soap they have on display especially in the huge men shaving products area. I was amazed and the soap and probably spent too much time browsing and sniffing many bars of soap - from the bay rum men's shaving and shampoo soap bars to floral and clean linen scents of soaps from Italy and France. They also have a decent selection of natural vitamins and other supplements. The cleaning product selection is good too. read more

Been going here for years.. Salina, the lady who always works the cash register is by far the rudest person--always has been, but today she hit my limit. . (Other employees are nice). Today.. no please, no thank you.. actually waved her hand at me dismissively when transaction was over. Although there is a good selection.. never again., Amazon has same prices, and none of the rudeness. read more

More than I expected...heard about this place from online forums. From Cali to NYC baby! read more

My default shaving cream (as anyone who has read my review could tell you) is from Nancy Boy, a shop in San Francisco. When I run out of this, as I sometimes do, I freak out. Seeing as though the only way for me to get it here in NY is by ordering it online. I can do that, but I need something to tide me over in the meantime. I (as you can probably guess) am a shavegeek. I have a double-edged safety razor (no, not a cut-throat), a shaving brush (for developing that beautiful lather), and a nice bowl (the locale for the aforementioned lather development). All I need to add to this is a good shave cream. When I can't have my Nancy Boy Shave Cream, I reach for the Taylors of Old Bond Street - and the best (and cheapest) place to get that is here at Pasteur's. They have an AMAZING selection of shaving products from all over the place, both your standard commercial stuff, your high-end American stuff, and your high-end international stuff. Heck, they even sell brushes there! The place is tiny, but they PACK it in there. They have everything you could think of needing from a nice pharmacy - I think they even have toothbrushes from Italy if what I overheard one woman saying was true... Shavegeeks rejoice! If you're in a jam and need some high quality shave cream in a hurry - head up to Pasteur's! read more

I'm an old fashioned shaver, old metal saftey razor. This place is a shavers paradise. stopped by again on my lunch break. all the major products - aftershaves, soaps, creams, even ARKO!! and samples and test bottles of great colognes and aftershaves before you drop $40 on that bottle or $35 on that Trumpers soap. I buy all my bath & shaving products here and just like walking into a place and being able to smell what I buy as opposed to shopping online. Also, they sell top of the line shaving brushes and starter brushes and single packs of blades (5 or 10). Guys, Gents, all major products are sold here for mens personal care. British and German products and jack black as well. awesome place, superb service (I speak spanish and the mexican guys helped me immensely), great experience. I pray they keep this store open. one of those NYC gems. read more

I'll second Shawn F.'s and Shane L.'s remarks about this pharmacy's shaving supplies. As a classic wetshaving enthusiast, Pasteur's has a huge range of high quality products. They carry practically full lines of Geo. F. Trumper's, Truefitt & Hill and Taylor of Old Bond St. (the "TTT" of Shaving). They also carry D.R. Harris, Pinaud-Clubman, Brut, Neutrogena, Zirh, Nickel and various other quality shaving products. The store itself is very narrow, so be prepared to get pummeled over by people who run to the back of the store where the actual pharmacist is located. Otherwise, Pasteur has an extensive product line of beauty, shave, skin and haircare products. Its also nice to shop at an independently owned place like this instead of the Duane-Reade across the street! Some of the imported products from Western Europe are impressively marked up, and you could find most of them online for half the price...but they gotta pay the rent, people! read more

I was a patron of the UES location for many years ao when i realized there is one by my new job i got super excited. I needed to pick up some beard supplies for a friends bday last week. Everything i wanted to buy has been opened. I was told by an employee that men come in and smell everything and its not an issue to buy an open item. Maybe, but not when its a birthday gift. I struggled for almost an hour to pick out a complete set of 3 items where nothing would be open. The selecyion seems great and the store is a bit more roomy than the Lex location but the next time i need something I will take the train uptown. read more

When I was working in the Murray Hill area a few years back I stumbled upon this place accidentally on my lunch break. The decor is beautiful and its very clean and well stocked. They carry domestic as well as international items and the prices range from inexpensive to expensive depending upon what particular item you are buying. The staff is friendly and from the interactions I've witnessed, they are discreet. And though I no longer work or live in New York anymore, when I did, this was my pharmacy and I will miss it. read more

This is the best place for shaving gear that I have ever visited. They have an excellent selection and helpful staff members. I picked up a Merkur slant, some Tabac soap and EDT, and a nice synthetic brush for a reasonable price. The isles are narrow and crammed with products, so be patient if it's crowded. read more

I found out this pharmacy sold a variety of beard and mustache products so I came and there is indeed a whole section of products for men. It's definitely a gold mine in terms of the variety and selection of beard & mustache products with everything from beard wash, balm, oil, waxes, brushes, combs and shaving products. I come for the beard brand products and captain fawcett's moustache wax. Aisles are narrow but there is minimal traffic in the mornings and if you ask, someone will help you find something. read more

Best shaving product selection of any brick and mortar retailer east of Chicago (not that I know the big guy in Chicago is comparable). Has the hardest to find products; only U.S. source of the incredible Nuàvia soap. Prices are usually better than online. read more

This place is great for the shaving enthusiast - and plenty of other hard to find items for men skincare. Some higher end face and body wash, including some that I actually discovered from Birchbox Every kind of blade you can imagine for your safety razor - including Feathers. All priced right for a brick and mortar. Ordering online is always better value, but I like to support this place with the marginal price increase. read more

This place is a dream come true for those who are looking for quality D.E. Razors. The selection is insane. You'll definitely leave here satisfied. It's a bit cramped but it is so well worth it. read more

Although many New Yorkers are passionate about retail, it's not easy to find a good pharmacy in NYC. Everyone is busy, Duane Reade sucks, and getting an english speaking pharmacist is a must to navigate the labrythine hellhole of insurance. The aisles are narrow but the selection is amazing, especially if you love obscure upscale hair products. And they deliver. read more

This is a shave geek mecca. Any shaving cream you can think of is here. I am not one who complains about prices in Manhattan, but I do enjoy a good deal and they usually offer it on just about all they sell. This is the only place left in the United States to buy Coate's shaving cream. Sure the price is up $10 from the last you bought it (have you seen the exchange rate to the Pound Sterling recently?), and you can argue it is reformulated (it likely is), but you cannot argue that no one else has it. Go there. Get a badger hair brush, get a tub of cream and have fun. It's worth the trip. read more

The place is small, and the isles are narrow (this is Manhattan afterall) but hands down they have the best selection of men's shaving supplies I have found in the tri-state area. Prices seem to be comparable to what you would pay online: - Taylor of Old Bond Shaving Soaps (In sore $13.99, online $14) - Proraso Sandlewood Soap (In store 9.99, online $10) - 10 Pack, Feather Double Edge Blades (In Store, $4.59, Online $4.50). read more

Been using them for awhile with no real issues. Only when THEY messed up a prescription did I get really nasty customer service. It was not my fault that they misread the prescription and I should not have been treated so rudely when I tried to follow up. UPDATE: Finishing up the prescription. Realized the "sickness" I am having might be side effects and have 1 pill left. Called the pharmacist. Me: "I have one pill left and I am having side effects. Is it an issue if I toss it?" Pharmacist: "take it with food" Me: "I have been" Pharmacist: "take the last pill and hope for the best" Um.... no. Changed from 2 stars to 1. read more
