Entrance

I was in Boston for a few days in early October and needed a few things for my stay. A convenient location with a good selection of chilled items and snacks. This location has two floors and it might be one of the nicer Walgreens I've visited. Anyway, quick and easy checkout and I was on my merry way.

Clean and modern store! Prices are higher than CVS, I think, but it's a nicer shopping experience here. This location is conveniently right by DTX and has an outdoor seating area for a summer break or quick bite. Inside, this location boasts high ceilings and bright lights and clean tile floors. They have a clean restroom in the basement too, for customers only of course. The pharmacy is large with a huge variety of products/brands. The market is nice, too, with everything fully stocked. Upstairs is the "up market" with wine and beer. Score!! Fresh I has a salad bar/market located within this Walgreens so if you need a quick bite for lunch (among the hundreds of options in DTX), they do offer somewhat fresh food so your only option is not a bag of chips, prepackaged overpriced celery or wine :)

Walgreens near Downtown Crossing, Boston, MA

This was an impressive Walgreens. I've never seen one that has dedicated so much of their space to food. Fresh sushi, lots of ready-to-heat and ready-to-eat meals, a huge selection of drinks and of course candies and snacks. Sure, they also have a pharmacy and the usual personal care stuff (I needed a new toothpaste today) as well. Very friendly service. Great shop.

This place has gotten a lot of press lately and people seem to be happy it's here. I had a mixed reaction when I visited the other day. For starters, I still miss the Borders bookstore that used to be in this spot. I know I need to get over it, but there isn't a big bookstore in all of Downtown Crossing now. But back to this Mega-Walgreens which is not just a drug-store by any stretch. It is a drug-store on steroids and possibly LSD. Sure, you can get all your typical pharmacy needs met here but on top of that you can get pre-packaged foods, fresh sushi, fro-yo, freshly made smoothies and juices, salads, souvenirs, a manicure (!), alchohol, and some groceries. Yikes! If this doesn't describe a mélange, I don't know what does. There isn't a supermarket anywhere near this area so for people who live around here this might just seem a little bit like a God-send. And just maybe it will help encourage more residential development on the blight that has become parts of this area of town since the demise of Filene's and the iconic Filene's Basement. I think the biggest benefit for some, might be that there is so much under one roof. In some ways it can be one-stop shopping. And it's open 24 hours. But it all seems a bit too much and there are lots of things I just wouldn't buy here from the looks of things. The fro-yo station was a disaster. The day I visited the machines were drippy and leaky and the toppings area was a complete mess. Someone needs to be on standby to keep that area pristine and the machines in order. Although the sushi looked good, I can't wrap my head around buying sushi in a Walgreen's. Sorry. If I were here for a typical Walgreen's pharmacy item and was short on time, maybe then I would consider getting a salad or fruit or a smoothie here but this would not be a food buying destination for me on its own. The one thing I liked was the very large make-up section on the second floor. I do love my makeup. It was more akin to what you would find in a department store rather than a typical drugstore. Overall, I think this place will do a booming business. It was certainly packed when I was in there. But for me, I would prefer if it was still a bookstore.

Messy!

This is the craziest Walgreen's I've ever been in! It's pretty cool...great selection, interesting space - not like the crappy Walgreen's where I live. My only knock is that is could be a bit cleaner. The frozen yogurt station was disgusting during my visit...the only thing missing were rats and cockroaches crawling around the counter. Overall, pretty darn good. 4 stars

Yes, I give this Walgreens credit for its location. Enclosed within a glass and concrete facade right in front of the Irish Famine memorial, it's certainly pleasant to walk into this store. Once you get inside, it's pretty standard Walgreen's stuff - snacks and drinks near the front of the store, toiletries elsewhere. Thankfully, checkout is one unified line, so you don't have to gamble on which lines moves more quickly. I didn't see any self-checkout machines, for what it's worth.

DTXers rejoice! The empty space that Borders left in the heart of The Crossing has been filled -- and not just with any drug store, but the fanciest damn Walgreens you'll ever see. The place has a sushi station, a juice bar, an entire floor of wine, beer and liquor, a self-serve fro-yo aisle with advanced flavors like red velvet, DIY toppings, an electronic screen that lets you mix Coca Cola products to create 120 different flavors (raspberry Coke!!), and [gasp for breath] a virtual bartender machine that will suggest drink recipes and help you plan your next party. DTX was begging for a 24-hour joint, and this place is the absolute jackpot. Word to the wise, though -- liquor/wine/beer floor closes at 10 pm. Happy shopping!

We were shocked to see that they have a sushi bar here. We tried their salmon avocado sushi roll and it turned out to be pretty good! Bonus for being housed inside the former Boston Five Cents Savings Bank with thick limestone walls and large windows for natural lighting. You gotta check it out!

Sushi at Walgreens?!?

See all

Testers were fresh and I was able to try out most of the products on my hand while browsing. Besides skincare, they also have tools and makeup! I was shocked to see my beloved Innisfree powder amongst the shelves, along with some TonyMoly and a variety of cute lipsticks and glosses. I came here looking for a specific moisturizer, a pack of eyebrow razors, and any other fun skincare tools I could find. Unfortunately, they didn't carry the brand of skincare I was looking for, and the eyebrow razors were a bit overpriced for my taste. Not sure if the owner is still getting the shop set up or if she just got a shipment in, but there were a TON of unpacked boxes behind the counter and on the floor. It was a bit difficult to maneuver around the store, and the bottom of my coat was covered in dust from brushing up against the boxes on my way out :( Ultimately, I would suggest coming here if you want personalized recommendations (the owner is very skincare savvy) or if you want to see a product in person before purchasing. They mostly have higher end products and not many brands I use, so I probably won't be back unless I'm in need of my Korean makeup staples.

Skincare, haircare, makeup, and even some beauty tools cover the walls from top to bottom. I stopped by because I was looking for kbeauty sheet masks for the drier weather and ended up leaving with two Dr. Jart masks. These were only $4.25/ea compared to the $6 I would have paid at Sephora. The ladies seemed super nice too. If you're looking for some kbeauty, definitely give this place a shot.

I came here based on reviews that I read off of Yelp. I specifically came here for eyelash…read moreextensions. I have had them before, but at a spa/salon in Swampscott (had a Groupon!), and they lashes would fall out in clumps and just looked a mess. My first impressions of the store was - WOW, it is TINY! I wonder where my extensions will take place! It happened to be in a nook of the room behind the cashier's desk, but the adjustable spa bed was pretty comfortable, and although it was a small space, I was still comfortable! At this point, my eyelashes were very short like they were cut off because of the damage done to them from the other spa's poor work. Amy asked me a few questions on how I would like my eyelashes - natural? Was this a one time thing for an event, etc? I wanted them to be natural looking, but long enough so that they were alluring. Amy did exactly that! She spent 2 hours gluing eyelashes on each of my short broken eyelashes. Amy = eyelash saver. And the receptionist/saleswoman/cashier at the front was also SUPER friendly. Since it was at 11am on a Saturday, it was really just the 3 of us in the store, but it felt like the 2 hours was only 20 minutes because we were all cracking jokes, laughing and just shooting the breeze. They were easy going, funny and very friendly. 3 weeks later, I went back for my refill - the eyelashes held up really well, and the refill only took 30-40 minutes and the place has SO MUCH good stuff (skincare, hand lotion, make up, etc). Amy really knows her stuff as she's been in the makeup/skincare/cosmetic industry for decades, although she looks so young!!!!!! Anyway, enough of this. If you want good service, good quality work, and someone who knows her stuff in terms of makeup/skincare/cosmetics, The Beauty Mark is the place to go. No questions about it.
