    Post Great Grains cereal (large size) on sale for $1.99

    This was probably the biggest CVS that I had ever stepped into. They had a wide selection of items. The store looked clean and the shelves for the most part were organized and stocked. I liked that everything wasn't locked up. I wasn't planning on buying anything. My friend wanted to come here to pick up some essentials. While browsing the aisles, the one deal that caught my eye was on the large size of Post Great Grains cereal on sale for $1.99. I thought it was a great price for a big box of cereal and they had different flavors as well so I had to pick up a few boxes. I came here earlier in the day so there wasn't much of a line with one cashier working. It was nice to see another cashier open up when there were three people in line. My cashier was nice and I was out in no time. The best part about this store compared to other CVS was that you didn't have to worry about parking. Plenty of free parking all around since the location was in the El Cerrito Plaza.

    Lines and excuses yet again. #customerservicefail

    Put it this way: I now get my prescriptions filled at Walgreen's. Over the past months I've gotten fed up with slow, slow service at the chronically understaffed pharmacy. And on my latest (and last) visit, the pharmacy technician actually announced what my medication was in a loud voice so everybody could hear. Nope, I'm done.

    11 people in line.

    This has to be the worst pharmacy I've ever been to. I usually go to target but live close to this one. I don't know why I do this to myself. The wait is alway an hour +. Only one person working at the counter with 13 people waiting. No sense of urgency. Horrible customer service.

    It moves quick.

    FINAL UPDATE: 4/18/2026…read more I HAVE TRANSFERRED ALL MY PRESCRIPTIONS TO AMAZON PHARMACY. Last week, the pharmacy drive-up window was closed, no one in the pharmacy would answer the phone, a medication refill I ordered was canceled without explanation (happened before). I had my doctor send my scripts to Amazon Pharmacy, and they were delivered to my door in TWO DAYS. This is not an ad for Amazon Pharmacy. I mention this because of the comparative efficiency. Imagine not being able to get life-saving medication because your pharmacy is ignoring calls and canceling medication orders with no explanation. I'm done with this place.

Now the lines to the pharmacy counter are always long, as are the drive-up lines. The wait time to talk to a pharmacist by phone is typically over an hour. I get told by the pharmacist my medicine is in stock and will be ready at a certain time that day - and then it is not ready for days which makes for repeated unnecessary trips and waits in line. My prescriptions sent in by my doctor or refills I've ordered are suddenly cancelled with no explanation or notification. My doctor calls in to complain and he is typically put on hold for over half an hour and seems to have no effect on speeding up filling medications that cannot be suddenly stopped. Do not keep enough medications on hand and you have to wait for it to be ordered. Pharmacists are always grumpy. Go elsewhere.

While my husband was out walking, he suddenly had a low blood sugar episode and almost fainted. He didn't have his phone with him and was trying to find someone who could help him contact his family. Thankfully, he was able to make it to CVS and met Sujan. Sujan immediately recognized that my husband was not feeling well. When my husband told him that his blood sugar was low and he felt like he was going to faint, Sujan quickly found glucose tablets for him, helped him sit down and rest, reassured him, and called me so I could come and help. I am incredibly grateful for Sujan's kindness, patience, and compassion. He was attentive and genuinely cared about helping my husband when he was vulnerable and needed help the most. We have been using this CVS for our prescriptions, and we feel very fortunate to have such a caring employee there. Thank you so much, Sujan M. Your kindness truly made a difference, and we will never forget your help.

My RXs are available without undue delay, and efficiently dispensed. While they did install this year touchtone screens for customer to tap & confirm order details, sometimes customer entry waived when busy and technician enters data to retrieve RXs. I notice sometimes the process changes slightly, with more safeguards added, like showing the customer the packages so they can confirm the RX. The only thing I found a blip was getting the pharmacy hours down. They do differ between weekdays & weekend (10 AM on Sat, 11 AM on Sun), so be sure to check. Yelp notes the store's opening and closing times which differ from pharmacy hours. Would be helpful to post the pharmacy hours, maybe note them in the questions to business. The line on weekend moves pretty quickly so don't be too disheartened when you see people in line.

Especially if there is someone behind you that parked with their rear sticking too far out. We also noticed that despite the large lot size, the parking lot was nearly at capacity even though there did not appear to be very many customers inside the store. This leads us to believe that some people are using their lot while shopping/running errands nearby. We didn't check out much of the store since we were only here for some photo orders. But the cashier was pretty friendly, and we were able to get our orders and leave in fairly good time.
