This review is for the pay for parking area. Walgreens has public parking but for a fee and a hefty one too. Its 20$ for 2 hours and 26$ for 5 hours. This is very expensive! To be fair, I feel safe parking ny car here and there are parking spots available. I got tired of looking for parking for 45m during lunch hours. Its impossible to find one on orange or nearby. I might as well pay for parking. This parking is convenient and easy. read more

Walgreens - Drugstores Near Me - Coronado, California

I was visiting Coronado and walking with a friend along Orange. Since it was summertime, it was quite hot, and at one point, I needed to grab a cold bottle of water. Then, I happened upon Walgreens! I was delighted to find regular Walgreens prices right on Coronado, where I expected a cold bottle of water to be $5 or more. I ended up getting two large bottles for $3 using a Walgreens deal. I just used some W Cash Rewards that had been saved for quite some time, and now, when checking out, I have to start earning my W Cash Rewards from scratch again. I enjoy the occasional visit to Walgreens, where I typically see it as a good excuse to stock up on paper goods, such as Kleenex or facial tissues, which I often run out of at home. I found multiple options for brands, box sizes, ply count, and whether they were soft or had lotion on them. I do enjoy just walking around the store as you never know what you will find. While walking around this time, I noted that this store regularly keeps the aisles looking good and the items in stock, though I also saw employees restocking items and changing price tags in various aisles. When I was checking out, there was one person ahead of me, but the line moved quickly, and once I entered my phone number for my rewards program, my transaction went through quickly, too. The W Cash Rewards program is free to sign up for and easy to use. You earn back 1% in Walgreens Cash rewards storewide, even at the pharmacy, and 5% in rewards on Walgreens branded products. There are also sales prices automatically unlocked and other savings coupons, where you can earn reward dollars by making a purchase after selecting a given coupon. Sometimes the coupons are on a receipt from your most recent purchase. You can also find other coupons on the app or the website (or in a booklet or ad when you arrive at the store). While I do not frequent Walgreens as often as other drug stores, I often wonder why, when I happen to visit a Walgreens store, as it's so easy to shop there, and my experiences are often very pleasant. Though on Coronado, I would consider my visit to Walgreens to be a big success!! read more

This morning at 7:30 I came to the Walgreens to get some items and both doors were closed. This store opens at 7, so I was confused as to why the lights were on inside but the doors were not opening. I made eye contact with one of the store associates at the register and instead of acknowledging me, he looked back down. I knocked on the door and he just shook his head at me, indicating he wouldn't be opening the doors. I took a picture of the hours on the window and that prompted him to come outside. He informed me they had had a power outage and were attempting to get the registers back up and working. Understandable. I said thanks and walked back to my car, only to watch more customers do exactly what I had just done and stand by the doors that didn't open. What does it take to write on a piece of paper that the store is currently closed due to a power outage and put it up on the doors? Lights are on, employees are in there staring at you through closed doors.... This place is mismanaged and the employees are SO lazy. I've been in the store many times waiting in a line to check out where one employee is at a register and the other employees are hanging around. Keep in mind they have 4 registers. It might be time to start thinking about implementing self check outs. This store is always very stocked and has a lot of options which makes it a good choice, but I would avoid it if I could. I drove across the street after this to Vons and got what I needed. read more

WORST PHARMACY and shopping experience EVERY TIME.... consistantly HORRIBLE. I don't enjoy giving bad reviews.But after going to the pharmacy on at least five or six different occasions, and getting turned away for some reason or another without my medicine.After waiting in a huge line just seems ridiculous. And I could hear the patrons in front of me. Having similar issues, it just seems like it's ongoing problem with this pharmacy.... read more

Consistent issues with pharmacy - disconnect and horrible communication btw their few, unfriendly employees. Call ahead, told it's ready and it never has been. Lack of accountability and no customer service. Desperate need of an overhaul in management and training. read more

Pharmacy is the worst, First there is always a long line, then when you finally make it to the counter. They are out of your medicine. Who runs this show. Pretty bad read more

SUITABLE LITTLE WALGREENS w/ limited stock. The Walgreens on Coronado Island has a good amount of over-the-counter items but not near as much as a regular sized Walgreens given the size of the store. The store seems a little messy and needs a revamp in parts of it.. It's weird because some parts of the store (especially the outside) seem very modern and others don't. I was thankfully able to find what I needed and the staff were pleasant. There's a grab-n-go lunch area, pharmacy and teeny Photo Booth with limited access. I think this Walgreens is great for a quick visit but I'd drive to the mainland for anything extra. The charming size of the store makes its an enjoyable stop, I really liked visiting! read more

This is by far the worst pharmacy that's ever existed. They were somehow unaware the only other pharmacy in town has been going out of business for the last 2 years and that they'd have to absorb all the extra patients this summer. read more

This pharmacy is in desperate need of new management. I've been a customer since Rite Aid closed, and every experience has been consistently poor. When my physician submits a prescription--or when I request a refill--I receive a text message saying it's ready for pickup. Yet every single time I arrive, the prescription is not ready. Not once. If this weren't the only pharmacy in town, they would have gone out of business long ago. read more

Soap and Glory items found here. Nice to grab snacks, and houseware items like tape, batteries and napkins. Friendly knowledgeable pharmacists. read more

I can understand the reason this store is overwhelmed by the closing of a competitor across the street. Maybe some additional help, if only part time, would make an improvement. Lines are always long & at times. I waited for 30 minutes on 2 consecutive days to order a prescription & then was told it would be ready on the next day. What makes matters worse is that if you attempt to phone in, you are put on hold for a long time. then a message comes up that two callers are ahead of you. Wait again. Message now says 1 caller is ahead of you. Another long wait. Finally a human says "please hold" and promptly hangs up. 30 minutes of my day lost. Half hour later I go through the same procedure. Another half hour lost. Finally I go into the store. Wait 30 minutes in line - was told my prescription will be ready in 25 minutes. However, I could not wait and clerk said it will be ready tomorrow. That never happened. After another long wait of 25 or 30 minutes or so I complained and believe it or not the medication was delivered in 10 minutes. I think I'd rather drive to San Diego and get another pharmacist or go to Optum or Amazon and do everything by mail. Walgreens management: Take a good look at your customers' comments and do something about it. At least improve the phone issue. It's insulting to the caller. read more

Pharmacy can not handle the volume of customers that it now has given that the competitor in town went bust, It needs more staff!!

Fun store has a little of everything. San Diego souvenirs are way to the right when you enter. There are pet items, perfumes, beverages and snacks, batteries, first aid. Need a swim toy? Look here. If you need it this store probably has it. When we went nearly everything was on sale or clearance. If you have a Walgreens card remember to use it here. read more

Gabriella was such a help to me when I had a challenge reaching the pharmacy. She went well beyond helping me. This location is very lucky to have her as an employee. Thankfully, she was the one who answered the phone and made sure I got my needed medication. The pharmacy isn't even her department but yet she went the distance to accommodate me with my frustration. This pretty girl deserves a raise. Thank you so much Gabbie. read more

Needed 3 months of prescriptions before leaving to study abroad. Went in 5 times over the course of the month before leaving to ask about the status of my prescriptions and every time they told me they were working on them and they would be ready on xyz date (kept pushing fill dates back). It's the day before I leave and they only managed to give me one regular refill instead of two 90-day refills. Going on a detox from my prescriptions during my time abroad I guess read more

Pharmacy. Everything requires improvement. Poor technology, poor service, lack of empathy for impacted clients. Try any other provider for your pharmacy needs. read more

Went in on a busy Saturday night to pick up some cosmetics along with my photo order. My husband was with me and dropped a $100 bill by mistake while we were checking out. The manager Rene, and employees Melissa and Reuben checked the cameras, saw him drop it and called us back to ensure it made its way back to us. We are grateful for their service, going above and beyond to return something like that to a customer. Very helpful. read more

Customer service can definitely be improved. An associate named Vanny was incredibly rude and when asked if we could have a bag for an item that you would not want to walk around with in your hand, she rudely placed it on the counter and walked away. Do better. read more

There's a reason this Walgreens has terrible reviews. I just literally ran on foot with a bad back to get there before close for a prescription I need from my surgeon. I walked up at 5:59pm, impressed that I made it just in time as the guy was closing the gate, and he kindly told me to go around when a woman pharmacist told him "no!" from the back and to close the gate because it was "after 6pm." I turned around, took the screenshot below on my phone to show the time, and left because I don't want to give them business anyway, and will have the prescription transferred first thing in the morning. And as a prescriber, I will never send my patients to such a poor establishment that doesn't know how to serve patients before close, and also can't read a clock. read more

Walgreens - Screenshot of the time as I got turned away. - Drugstores Near Me - Coronado, California

if i could give it 0 i would. after the pharmacy messed up my perscription twice and made me and my boyfriend wait for 30+ minutes (I had gotten a confirmation a day before that it was ready). The pharmacist then told me they didn't have the full amount. I asked if they still expected me to pay the full amount and she reassured me that I wouldn't. They rung up my prescription and tried to charge me an extra 70$ dollars for a reason that the pharmacist refused to explain other than "that's what we charge" dispite me getting my meds a MONTH earlier for 70$ less. I'm not sure who they're letting work here but she's obviously ripping people off. I hope she is fired ASP for the safety of the customers. read more

Walgreens - Drugstores Near Me - Coronado, California

Terrible service at the pharmacy, from the receptionist/assistant to the pharmacist itself named "Roopa" terrible ignorant pharmacist.

This is a great store that has a wide variety of items. Since they are located in Coronado they have all kind of items you don't typically find at a drug store. From snacks, beverages to household aapliances they are worth checkingn out. One bonus is that they have a parking lot on the side of a store which is much easier than looking for street parking. Another bonus is the Navy Federal Credit Union ATM located just inside the entrance. read more

This Walgreens will get the job done - but it's actually pretty run-down inside and was dated. I was surprised for such a nice and wealthy island. They have some touristy items in the back in a nook near the stairway to the customer bathrooms upstairs. Don't worry, plenty of signs to tell you bathrooms are for customers only, I have no idea where anyone uses the restroom here if they don't live here bc no one has bathrooms you can use. Anyway.... they have the usual items and have a pharmacy inside so if you are in need of something during a trip you'll be able to come in here and find something. I was able to find the chapstick and snacks I came in to get. read more

Went yesterday to buy two hand braces and was encountering an issue with the app. Thankfully Edward, the lead, was able to accommodate and resolve the issue with his quick thinking.

Do not use this store for Western Union. They are happy to take your cash for a transfer but not to help you get it back if the transfer is cancelled. The manager was so unhelpful that I have changed all of my family accounts to Rite Aid. read more

I came to Walgreens to get some snacks. I ended up finding some Hi Chews which are mostly found in Asian markets but these were one of my favorites. I'm surprised at how small this Walgreens is compared to the one in Chula Vista. I definitely come to Walgreens for snacks or drinks. They carried a wide variety of drinks, snacks ranging from chocolates to chips. My daughter found a pez dispenser of the Jasmine character which came with the candy you put inside. It was on sale for $2.47. If you have a membership with them, you just type in your phone number in the keypad and you get the discounts on the items they have. The more points you earn the more towards your cash reward. I have a lot of points to redeem to get $5.00. This location is more of a convenient store because it's so small. It's descent and has what you need if you're on the go. They have their own parking lot in front. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

The pharmacy is a mess and is managed in a very amateur way, especially when contrasted with the professional and efficient team across the street at Rite Aid. I went in at 9:15 AM to pick up a prescription that had been transferred at 3 PM the previous afternoon. In the small, dumpy pharmacy there was only a pharmacy technician on duty and available to the public. She proceeded to tell me a variety of excuses that the prescription was not yet prepared. I truly expected to hear "the dog ate it". Given the small, dingy and dated renovation of the previous location (a pet store), perhaps this poorly managed pharmacy experience is to be expected. read more

This pharmacy might be the worst I've ever experienced. It's always something. Today I went in at 12:18 for a script that was called in around 8:30 AM. It wasn't ready. The fork said 10-15 minutes. Keep in mind it's a lotion that needs to be plucked off the shelf. We arnt counting pills. Finally after 18 minutes I say if it's not ready I need to leave for work. They say they had to change the manufacturer? Then. I see the girl just waive the script at the girl at the counter with kind of am annoyed manner. Like they are annoyed I'm annoyed I waited 20 minutes. So I left without the script. These people move like snails. Zero sense of urgency. Nothing is ready. If you want brand name you get generic. I've told them a dozen times there's one brand of a script want and every time I get another. No attention to detail. The manger needs to light a fire under these people's asses. read more

Absolute BS! Prescription for acute illness called in at 9:30 and marked "received" on the app. Waited and waited. Called and was told it would be ready at 2:00. Still nothing on app. 3:15 walked in in-person. Still not finished. 3:40 done. Wish I would have read reviews and used Riteaid! Never again read more

The news that Walgreens has refused to carry the safe abortion drug is beyond disgusting. I like the employees at this Coronado store, but I cannot support their pharmacy anymore. Rite-Aid: do you have room for one more? read more

A convenience store on the island, located on the main street, Orange Avenue. In the front are: gift cards, ready-made foods, a v-day/seasonal section in the next few lanes, pharmacy on the left side of the store, and all the typical items you find in a walgreen's store- snacks, souvenirs, greeting cards, convenience items like toiletries, etc. I had a last-minute gift to buy here, but I was with my husband (and yes, you guessed it, the very person, I was buying something for) and son so I shooed him away while I was in line for the checkout. Quick process as there were few customers inside. There are few chains here on the island, so this is a convenient place to visit. There are no 7-11's here. For as long as I remember Walgreen's was a regular shopping trip when we were kids growing up. Back then, there was also Thrifty's (ice cream was so cheap too). There was no Target or Wal-Mart during those times (1980s). K-mart was the store that you were embarassed to be caught shopping in, by your friends. Nowadays, only get things that are on sale or that are on special with store coupons, for trips to Walgreens. read more

Three days after getting a prescription Walgreen at Bolba San Diego is unable to fill itd with no promise.

This Walgreens Pharmacy, located on Orange Avenue in Coronado is usually communicative, organized and well stocked. The staff are friendly and always helpful. That's when the regular staff is there. Unfortunately, Walgreens rotates staff around sometimes for a reason I don't understand and at those times it is very frustrating. Mistakes are made. Efficiency slides along with friendliness and then my comfort level along with it. All tolled though, it's still my go to pharmacy. read more

This is a great Walgreens. I think it has low stars because Coronado people are rich and spoiled. Very nice staff, the lady behind the calendar Julia was extremely helpful, got my kiddos water bottles for school, 2 nice ones for only ten bucks on sale. Tight spot and they have a bathroom but it's secretly hidden upstairs. 10 stars! read more

Walgreens is my favorite go-to neighborhood drugstore, so I was really excited when a new store opened up here in Coronado... just a block away from home! It is much smaller and limited in some available products than the Point Loma store where I usually shop at, but they carry enough of the basics to get by with: paper products, water, OTC meds, snacks, etc. It's especially convenient to have their full-service pharmacy and one-hour photo department nearby that both offer such friendly and competent customer service too :)) Their generic brands are also comparable to the pricier name brands. And, finally your purchases even earn points and can easily add up to reward you with $5 for every 5000 pts earned! read more

I came to Walgreens to get some makeup from the wet n wild collection but ended up getting a body wash that i love so much. They have a great beauty program,the more makeup you buy from them ,the more points you get. You have to be involved in the membership program to get the rewards. All you have to do is just type in your phone number in the keypad and you get the discounts on the items they have. The more points you earn the more towards your cash reward. I have a lot of points to redeem to get $25.00. This location is more of a convenient store because it's so small. It's descent and has what you need if you're on the go. read more
