I came here to get the covid booster vaccine yesterday, it was super fast, and painless. I'm super surprised I thought it'd be more difficult. I'm super grateful they offer it here and I was able to review, their pharmacist who administers has a very light touch so it was less painful compared to where I got my previous covid shots last year. Highly recommend! The inside of this pharmacy is such a treat too, super cute and they offer a lot of novelty items as well as a full ice cream parlor and soda fountain. I truly recommend! read more

The best kept secret in San Marino. They are kind, attentive, and deliver my prescriptions. Also, Apple map shows that this place is permanently closed but that's not true. I take my kids to get an ice cream there, too. Very convenient and lots of parking front and back. read more

Drug-dealer, connection, candy-man, dope pusher, bagman, source, dope peddler, drug peddler, man, pusher...they come with many names. Call yours what works for you, I call mine Jonathan. Like most Americans, I start my day with a hot shower, a cup of coffee--and a handful of pills. I believe that much of that medication use is lifesaving or at least life-improving. Not concinced? Go to Cal Oaks Pharmacy in San Marino. Any of their staff pharmacists will gladly pursude you that while all drugs pose some risks, they're often essential, treating otherwise deadly or debilitating diseases. Join me, and the many Americans who have come to think that every symptom, every hint of disease requires a drug. See you at Cal Oaks, ask for Jonathan! read more

Great customer service, super helpful and friendly. Just what a neighborhood pharmacy should be.

The best drug and general store I've ever seen. And the people who run it always go the extra mile to more than satisfy their customers. I never go anywhere else! read more

Great service and friendly atmosphere. Much faster service than CVS and/or Rite Aid. Also, they carry a good selection of medical supplies.

My son got all three of his Covid shots here. They are so good with kids! They are also super friendly and always end our shot experience with a free ice cream. Our experience has helped my four year old enjoy getting shots! read more

This is the best kept secret in San Marino. I run a medical practice and tell everyone to switch over to this pharmacy. They go above and beyond to get you what you need. read more

The server who names Jonathan Kim is hypocrite and rude!! His service is different with different people! When he faces White people, he smiles and says hey hey hey and service first for them even someone first came and has waited long time. When he faces the people who is not white people, he changes his face and body language!!! He is Korean, but he has this big problem! Even he realized he made mistakes and said sorry to you, his body language is still horrible!!! read more

Happy National Ice Cream Day - July 19th!!! Free scoop of ice cream with Yelp Check in :) They were opened at 2pm, and I got there around 330pm, and it was a bit stuffy in there. While waiting for ice cream service, I took some pics and was sweating a bit in there, eeek! With this crazy ass weather, the AC woulda been nice to have on. I got the Coffee and Cookies ice cream - they carry the Fosselman ice cream brand. Cold, rich and creamy - perfect for this hot day :) Also, I noticed that the right side of the ice cream sections - See Part 3 of ice cream pics - caters more to the adults - a lot of coffee flavors ice cream, lol!!! Service was nice and fast. I got to sample the ice cream before making my decision - Salty Caramel wasn't a favorite - I like it better as a macaron, lol! As for the place itself, it's super adorable with its 50s ice cream shop motif. They also have hot dogs, sundaes too! The other section of the shop is a pharmacy - very clean, bright and helpful staff members. Will be coming back another time. read more

I always find what I'm looking for at Cal Oaks. They carry all needs for anything that ails you, Gel Packs, Back Supports, Canes ,Walkers to name a few. They have beautiful card selections and gifts which is a great idea. I've bought many essential needs there. My husband and I went there for our Booster shot and hopefully they are giving the second one as well. Johnathan is very helpful with any questions regarding your every need. I'm so happy that we have this pharmacy in our neighborhood. Linda read more

I absolutely adore this pharmacy. The owners of this place are always nice and helpful, letting me know low key that if I miss my medication too much then my insurance won't cover it again (yeah yeah I'm bad). Also, one of owners look like Randell Park! If you love Randell Park like I do, stop by and check this place out. read more

The Best In Town!!! This is the second time I've come to this pharmacy and I must say its the best. The environment is amazing. Its fresh, clean and has everything you need. Be sides having a pharmacy, it has its own snack bar. Although they don't have variety. They have hot dogs, and ice cream. The guy who serves is very helpful and friendly. My boyfriend and I chose to eat a hot dog here and he kept checking on us constantly to make sure we were doing fine. I definitely recommend anyone in the neighborhood to come here. Or else you will have to wait long in line at CVS/Walgreens and spend more money. Great Job and best luck with the business to whoever it may concern. read more

The owner is super nice and welcoming with a great attitude. Honestly more places need to be like this. Johnathan the owner makes you feel welcomed and want to keep coming back into his store. read more

Great people... great work ethic! They always have my prescription on time. Love this place!!!! Thank you guys!!

This Pharmacy located in Pasadena on California Street used to have very caring staff that really cared about patients. The San Marino Location is even worse, the staff is rude the manager Jonathan Kim is totally rude and does not want to be bothered with any type of patient assistance with regard to RX medications. The San Marino Location is even worse than the Pasadena Location which is Chaotic, rude and they lose electronic prescrptions and their staff is totally rude never ansnwers the phone and some patients lke me have has open heart surgery and rely and their cardiac medication. I had to call my doctor on Saturday to have my heart medication resent to Rite Aid in Glendale and Rite Aid was apologic for the unprofessional conduct I received from Cal Oaks Pharmacy and Cal Oaks III after an Aortic Valve Heart Replacement surgery. Rite Said they saw the RX medication sent to Cal Oaks and said their pharmacy did not want to be bothered to locate it. Jonathan Kim at the San Marino Location did not want to be bothered to find out how the RX was lost when it was sent electronically. My doctor had to send a new RX on a Saturday electronicaly to Rite Aid. Going Fordward, my doctor is sending my prescriptions to AMAZON Pharmacy online and the medication will be delivered the next day to my home. I would not recommend these two pharmacies to a dying heart patient. People with serious medical conditions should not have to deal with this unprofessional conduct. read more

Great customer service! Jonathan was very helpful; help us to find just want we needed. Thank you Jonathan for caring so much! read more

I went in last week to this sister location and was treated equally amazing-I thought that service would differ from location but if there is one thing these guys are good at is their customer service. They truly work with their hearts and I could T be more grateful. The pharmacists, Gin, took her time and answered all our questions. Normally, cvs would be making you feel guilty for asking what your entitled to-but these people are different. I will give them my business and recommend them to everyone! read more

They filled my prescription when no other local pharmacy could. Also, it is a delightful place to wait for your prescription; it has soda fountain food and carries fun things other than every day drug store stock. They are thorough and friendly. It is a much needed business in San Marino. read more

Wonderful, local pharmacy. Always have a great chat with the team there and they are lovely. Fantastic service with a smile!

Love this place the ice cream is the best . Service is amazing they are very helpful . Owner is really nice read more

Cal Oaks III Pharmacy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Marino, California

Fantastic people, fast service, good fun shop and efficient pharmacy. Too bad the big two chains can't follow these strengths.

I came here for compounded medications due to a recommendation from the doctor's office for my baby. During the 3 times I had a prescription filled, each time there was at least one error with the medication. From not finding our medication (even after we were told it was ready there) to not remembering to add flavoring (which is critical with kids!), it's been a mess. For some reason there was a time the medication was at the other Cal Oaks location by Huntington Hospital. They asked me if I filled it there by mistake. Nope... I've only gone to the San Marino location and that's the only phone number I called for the past 2 refills. Sigh. What a bummer. They were in such a convenient location for me. The entire experience was extremely frustating. I gave them 2 stars instead of one because the clerks there were nice although the pharmacy was a let down. read more

I love this cute little gem of a place. It's very easy to pass since it is located on the busy Hunrintong Drive... But it is the cutest little shop/pharmacy and the prices are great! I usually expect these little gift shops to be overpriced, but this place was amazing. The staff is very funny, quirky, and nice and the store has a great selection of things. read more

best best pharmacy in town! location is great, staff is amazing-never ever go to the chains! support these guys-they genuinely care!

Super cute place. The owner is the most professional, accommodating guy I have ever met. I want to learn from him! Seriously, the man knows customer service and I have always felt welcome in this store. I've stopped by a few times with my mom after Lunch at Fresh Gourmet next door and on my own for scoops of Fosselmans. The store has tons of cute little trinkets along with basic medical supplies. The parking is very convenient and I feel safe in the area. This is really just a wonderful neighborhood spot that I hope remains for many years to come. read more

My brother and I just stopped here while our gtandmother visited the eye doctor next door. We both got ice cream sundaes and they were awesome. Great portion size and the man who helped us at the counter was friendly and helpful. Felt like a family run business and you can tell they care about it. Will definitely stop by here again. read more

The pharmacist was very helpful. I needed to fill a compound medication and she was very accommodating. She was very patient and willing to help me with what I needed. Eventually, I was able to fill the Rx at the other Cal Oaks pharmacy and had the medication transferred to this location for pick up. It saved me time and I will definitely return for Rx refills. read more

Came here because a friend wanted to pick up some ice cream before we went to drumline practice, and I am not disappointed! I got cappuccino ice cream in a cone and it is soo good- definitely a go-to treat to cool down with. Also, the man who served me was very friendly. Thank you Cal Oaks :) read more

We need a pharmacy in San Marino, and I hope Cal Oaks III does well and stays here. I'm not sure everyone in town knows they are here. Maybe an ad in the Tribune?? Good parking in back, friendly and helpful people, convenient location instead of driving north to one of the big chains. The pharmacy could consider less floor space and fewer extra items like jewelry. Unfortunately, when the other pharmacy closed, everyone had to go somewhere else for prescriptions, and it's a nuisance to transfer again to a closer pharmacy. read more

Great and friendly people. The environment is really nice, clean, and welcoming. Competitive pricing and friendly service. What more could you ask for? read more

I Didn't realize the place was a pharmacy from the outside, I thought it was a candy/ice cream parlor. The owner is super nice and great with kids. They serve fosselmans ice cream which tastes great. He offered us water and even turned on the t.v. for the kids to watch Disney shows. The kids didn't want to leave. We will be coming back again. read more
