    I bought an eye solution here and then got allergies. I went back to the cvs just wanted to have a little consultation from the pharmacist here because I was in pain and did not know what to do. I waited here at the glass window for 30 minutes, but all the pharmacists ignored me. I saw around 5 people here and some of them were chatting but no one offered to help me even if I waved at them and smiled at them. I was just ignored. I felt a little sad and really helpless.

    Eric and Briana! Two amazing people.

    Out of all the CVS pharmacies in the greater downtown Los Angeles area this is by far the best I have been to. It is clean, well stocked, brightly lit and the employees are great. Gaby, in the pharmacy, always makes me feel welcome and you can tell her positive attitude is genuine. Eric Kwan and Briana Stapornkul, the pharmacists, are incredibly competent and go that extra mile to help. They have called me on more than one occasion just to make my life a little more convenient. They've also helped me out when I run out of medication or needed something on short notice. One of my medications is a controlled substance that is for a particular condition I have and I have never felt judged when picking it up. Quite the opposite actually. When they ask me how I'm doing or if I need anything or have any questions I know it is genuine. That's important to me and I don't tell them enough how much I appreciate it. I don't even live near this particular CVS anymore but I still make a point to get everything taken care of here. It is definitely worth the extra travel time. Also, in a lot of the other stores downtown 3/4 of the items are behind a locked case. That is not the case akin this CVS. Nearly everything is accessible and if something does happen to be locked up the employees are prompt when requested.

    I'm so glad that this new CVS is open in downtown LA. Up until now, there was only a CVS in the sketchier part of downtown, but this one feels safer as it is right in an area of downtown closer to South Park, which is becoming gentrified with high-end condos, a new Dunkin' Donuts and a Whole Foods Market which opened in 2016. Sort of frustrating though is that some of the products on the shelves are locked up so that you have to bother a cashier to get it for you. I tried to buy a curling iron and that was the case and the cashier had to leave the register despite their being a line in order to unlock the shelf display so the item could be removed. I'm sure this is necessary since it is in downtown LA and theft would otherwise be rampant.

    I was charged $12 after 4PM on Sunday.

    [PARKING INFO] The entrance of the CVS free parking is located on Grand Ave (oneway street toward south). Their lots are on the second floor of the same building. The parking validation is just for 30 minutes. If you are there for vaccination, the girl staff was slow, so it's better ask to the male pharmacists to be done fast in 25 minutes. Your validation is given at the casher. The sign of Joe's Public Parking, probably doing the management of the parking, reads "$6 MAX after 4PM" and "$6 Saturday and Sunday", and I was charged $12 after 4PM on Sunday. There's no parking staff to talk to. So be aware of that you will be charged $12 (not $6) on the weekend if your car stay there more than 30 minutes.

    This is a great location and the pharmacy staff are so friendly and efficient. This CVS has literally everything! Even a great wine selection.

    Very disappointed and uncomfortable shopping experience at this new location. Cashier Ashley was unfriendly, unhelpful, and rude.

    Stopped coming here due to: 1) short staffed; 2) often out of stock (especially sale items).

    This is a difficult CVS to review as there is a lot of shenanigans from the unhoused just outside…read morethe door. But it's a good CVS, the employees are nice and helpful. This one is good if you're staying in the area or need something in a pinch.

    Some of the employees here seem REALLY fed up with customers at this store. That's including the…read morecustomers that they & their store are DEPENDENT on for the revenue that ultimately pays their individual INCOME. I'm sure they have been through a lot at this location, which I definitely take into consideration, but I don't think that means that low quality customer treatment is now acceptable (across multiple visits). I waited for them to come take a cheap item I needed out of the locked cages (that every item is in now), and when they did, instead of handing me the 5 dollar item, they insisted that they would take it up to the front where it would be waiting for me. After waiting in a long line, my item was not at the front.. So I just checked out without it. As I was leaving, an employee came up to me with the item I needed and acted like I was being an inconvenience. I went back and purchased the item only to find out that I missed out on a discount that I would have gotten if I'd have purchased it with my other items. I couldn't care less about the discount - ha, but it's just the principle of the situation and how the employees I dealt with could obviously care less. And this has been a re-occurring vibe at this store. Not to mention that the store's inventory has not been very great either.. ALTHOUGH, it is true that you never-ever know what people might be dealing with in their lives... --which is why I gave a 2 star rating instead of 1 star.

    This is our neighborhood CVS and it is, I think, an average CVS. Why am I reviewing it? Because I…read morereview fucking everything. Why are you reading this? Anyway, the parking situation is pretty good, especially for Koreatown. I've never had a hard time finding a space in the lot. The store is spacious and well maintained and not creepy, and it seems to be reasonably well stocked. It is possible, for example, to find children's Tylenol in the winter, which I gather is not true everywhere. I was not pleased, though, when we took our baby and toddler to take passport photos and we spent twenty minutes waiting for help only to learn that the one stupid camera was broken and they could not fulfill this basic advertised function. It is not easy to wrangle two kids under three for a drugstore errand that becomes a Sunday evening neighborhood search for photographic services. In any case, we'll keep using this CVS when we need a CVS. I just wouldn't recommend it if you have an urgent, immediate need for passport photos.

    I've never had any issues with this CVS until recently. The worker at the CVS pharmacy (no name tag…read moreon, male, long hair with a beard, and glasses) is incredibly rude! I've seen him many times before and he has attitude most of the time with other customers and unfortunately for me, I had to encounter him recently. He's pretty condescending with his words and just overall rude! Other than him, the other workers and security are nice.
