I stopped by to pick up a couple of items before the store closed. While there I saw a police officer questioning an older gentleman who was accused of shoplifting by one of the store employees. Well after being put through the embarrassment of that accusation it was determined that he had not done what he was accused of by this employee. (A heavy set white lady with a very bad haircut). I wish I would have gotten her name but unfortunately she didn't have her name tag on her shirt. She did not give this gentleman any type of apology after falsely accusing him of shoplifting. I put in a description just so management if they happen to read this can sit down and talk to her about this incident. Not only about accusing this man of doing what he didn't do but about not apologizing to him afterwards. read more

The management of this store and corporate managers have very low ethics. Anyone who shops here knows that they do not scan groceries and other items j- there is a price sticker an the checkout staff has to read it and enter it in the register. The first two times I shopped here, I was charged twice for the same item which I noticed by looking at my receipt as I walked to the ar.. I returned to the store and got a refund. Waste of time. I notified corporate office in Texas and they never responded indicating they condone this scammy behavior to get more profit. The last time I was there, the checkout clerk tore the itemized portion of the receipt off and kept it - this way I could not check to see if I was overcharged. Nor can you. read more

The front of the store is awesome. However, the pharmacist always has a negative attitude when asked about a product in " their department " I would never have prescriptions filled there. I love shopping in the store. read more

the drive through wait is horrible! people leave , cut through the grass! and one of the workers is very rude!

Excellent selection of fragrances, much more than any other store in the area. The staff is friendly and helpful. This store also has a huge selection of health and organic foods to satisfy any type of diet. read more

A great store to shop for over 20 years. Today returned my 5oz Flower Bomb bottle of perfume unboxed with no problem due to cash receipt. Smelled some when I sprayed perfume and WHERE did the scent go? Returned my $118 bottle. Dillard's gift set for $165 is such quality of delight. Deserve to Sniff a Victor & Rolf FLOWERBOMB. LOVE PERFUME‍ read more

The pharmacist acted as though I was bothering her with my question. She was rude from the beginning. Then the following day she was condescending and rude to my mother in law as well. She was not pleasant to talk to at all. wont be back. read more

More than just a great pharmacy (complete with a drive-thru) and health food store.. Drug Emporium has the most complete and best priced hair care products in the city. They also have a huge selection of men's and women's perfumes and fragrances that are ALWAYS on sale. Included in that amazing inventory are miniature bottles that are extremely affordable. Can't beat their prices and selection ANYWHERE. read more

Good selection of vitamins, supplements, natural and organic foods (only a small selection of fresh produce). Sometimes the shelves in areas are bare but that's something going on other places too. Prices are what you would expect in a health food store- not cheap. It's easy to spend a lot of money quickly. Just make certain you don't have to use the restroom while you are there. The restroom is the filthiest I believe I've ever seen. I was told the employees have their own separate restroom. With all the money being spent on their pricey specialty items someone could and should be hired to do the cleaning in the restrooms. You would think that with all the illnesses that is prevalent today a thorough detailed cleaning is way overdue! read more

One of my favorite places in Lafayette. I kind a place where are you going for one thing and leave with 20.

Not a ton of zero waste options here but they do have a small bulk section. See photos. While not waste free the do have a lot of food and product that are organic and environmentally conscious. So again not very waste free but a good option if you want to shop at a locally owned store or don't want to drive across town to Whole Foods. read more

Long before there was Whole Foods and the internet In Lafayette, this hidden gem was a must for finding the best discounted prices on Dept. Store fragrances, salon hair care products, and hard to find nutritional supplements, aromatherapy, and all kinds of amazing products! Great parking, uncrowded, and now with a ton of unique items to suit any dietary restrictions it's always on my list of places to shop for quality items and savings! A fav! read more

While visiting Lafayette for the day, I was pleasantly surprised to learn there are still a few Drug Emporiums left. We used to have them in California, but they all closed down. I've missed them. This location in Lafayette is great. They have a large section of the store that is the "Vitamins Plus" section. It has an extensive variety of vitamins, health foods and really cool stuff. All of it priced at a deal. The rest of the store is like a regular Drug Emporium store. -On the same level as a Walgreens or CVS, but much better prices and selection. If I'm ever over in this neighborhood visiting again, I will definitely stop by. read more

I've been going here for over 10 years whenever I visit my grandmother in Scott. I grew up down the street from a Drug Emporium in Houston, but it seems like all other Drug Emporiums closed down about 20 years ago... except for this one. And its far different than any Drug Emporium I used to visit in Houston. They have an AMAZING selection of vitamins, health foods, shampoos (both low and high end), and local Cajun foods. They recently renovated and took over the retail space next door, which they converted into a huge vitamins and health food section. They already had a large space devoted to those items but now its insanely huge. You can get anything your heart desires, from herbal supplements to organic toiletries to gluten-free foods/ingredients. Not only that, sometimes their regular prices are so low that they beat the big box stores like Wal Mart. I sure wish I lived locally, because I'd definitely be in there weekly. For now, I'll have to stock up on all of my goods whenever I visit family in the area. read more

Horrible customer service at the pharmacy. We filled our prescription here and wasn't informed until we drove up to the window that our medicine couldn't be filled since they ran out of pills. After calling back and telling them that they could either A.) Give us our script back B.) Give us a few pills until we could fill it the following day, somehow three magically appeared in their stock. When we went to pick them up, the pharmacist was rude and condescending. Protip: Learn customer service, especially when the competition (Walgreen's / CVS) is better at it. read more

Honestly, I wish I could keep this place a secret. Almost everything here is cheaper than anywhere else. They have GREAT deals on perfume. Also, I could spend hours in the health section, vitamins plus. They don't take credit cards, but they do take debit cards. read more

They have a great array of health food products. I especially like that they have local products like beeswax (which we use to make home-ade candles) and lots of vegetarian and natural products. They are way cheaper than whole foods or Fresh Market. Fan. read more

I have been coming here for years! They have every type of supplement and brand that you need. They have expanded since my last visit which excited me, but I could not take full advantage of the grocery section because I live in Houston. I picked up some dry good items and called it a day. Think of this as a discount whole foods and you will understand why this place is such a big deal. read more

Drug emporium is one of my favorite places to shop. They have so many healthy delicious treats and good prices. Great customer service.

Having just moved here from Florida, I was a little frustrated with the lack of vegan or even veg-friendly options in this part of the state. Then I discovered Drug Emporium! While they still don't carry everything, the vegan selection is definitely impressive. read more

I can get *almost* every supplement here, however they mostly are very weak and the buyers should consider focusing on higher potency everything. But...protein shakes, frozen Wheatgrass that's weird because having it fresh is the reason why we use it, it's not flash frozen so it's coagulated wheat grass with water at the top? A little cheesy? I am impressed with the incense and essential oils which Whole Foods just has a very pragmatic approach and has the essentials, I will say some of the price points for the specialty breads pasta and Vegan choices are priced less at D.E. Oh and they don't really have much fresh food so, personally, I got the veggie wash at D.E. And buy my big veggies at Major chains the wash is citrus based and removes sprays and waxed so... that's one side of D.E. Other side appears like a drug store and has overpriced everything but if you need a specific bandage today! D.E! And what? Designer perfumes with a 20 percent discount because they don't have a box? I loved that! medicinal Teas too at a slightly lower price! Even some Pet products that are homepathic! rescue remedy for nervous dogs? Lifesaver! Fantastic chain from Texas. Totally unbiased but the whole Foods chain in Lafayette is considered a mini store. Go grab your ginseng and black salt and maybe a craft beer and run! read more

This is usually one of my favorite stores to go to while in Lafayette. This time, I purchased 6 green waters and 3 of the 6 are bad. There are things floating in it and smells rancid. What's more upsetting is there are 2 numbers online to this location and neither will ring. Did I mention these are appx $6 each? I guess I'll never get my money back or get a resolve. The expiration says 9/1/2019. I'm really upset. I dont work every day to waste my money. read more

I Love this place. As many other people have said, I have been coming here for years and the amount of people frequenting here has gone up considerably. Fantastic!!! Even though I would love to keep it a secret, others are benefiting from this store as well...Great healthier options with an extensive selection to choose from. I am in this place too often and as they add fresh items I'm all over that as well. Check it out... read more

Your store has a great selection of supps/herb etc. but, unfortunately your prices are way out of range. One can get same items for 30 % less by ordering on internet. If you would be more fair in your prices your business would triple and you could make MORE money on volume sold . JL read more

I really only shop the Vitamins Plus section of the store, but if you are into healthy eaing and holistic health, it is about as good as it gets here. Not a great produce selection but excellent stock of boxed, canned and refrigerated food, meals and snacks. They also have one of the more impressive selection of organic pressed juices and supplements. Customer Service is also above average. Nice selection of health books. A WONDERFUL store that I hope never goes away! read more

In the past, I have enjoyed shopping at Drug Emporium. I even got my adult daughter into shopping there. After today, I'm not so sure about Drug Emporium anymore. I called Drug Emporium to get some special medicated shampoo ordered that they have ordered for us in the past without issue. After holding for 16 minutes and 39 seconds and telling THREE different women what I wanted, A VERY rude man came on the line. He did not identify himself. He asked me what I wanted. When I explained, without missing a beat, he very rudely told me that his computer did not have that listed so he could not order it and hung up on me before I could say a SINGLE word!!! If I had been someone who had never walked through their doors before, that rudeness would not have enticed me to EVER walk through those doors!! read more
