It is a two level store, with the entire top floor dedicated to the pharmacy and medical section. The space is extremely nicely decorated and feels very thoughtfully designed, with a cute local feel and clear local pride throughout. There are also healthy grab and go options for a quick lunch or snack, and the food selection feels more unique than a typical convenience store, including items like fresh eggs for sale. They also sold local merch. Overall, it has much more of a local market atmosphere than a traditional CVS Pharmacy location, which makes it a really convenient and pleasant stop.

Typical overpriced liquor store in an expensive part of Boston in the west suburbs right off of Commonwealth. I don't drink so I don't care how overpriced it is - I just came here for some water. But if you're coming here for liquor, it might be a little out of your price range. Then again you're on Yelp so you're probably not poor. Lol. But it's still a good store because I know a lot of you love to drink and these stores are invaluable to you then basically. Pretty good selection too, and friendly enough.

Prices are on the expensive side, but fairly standard for Harvard Square prices. They have the customary selection of beers, wines, liquors, and mixers, but they also have a section of Harvard apparel (like T-shirts, sweatshirts) and Harvard memorabilia (like keychains, mugs, coasters, etc), so it is a great place to also pick up some souvenirs while you are shopping for your beer! I also like that they sell accessories to complement your drinking, like plastic martini glasses and plastic shot glasses for a party. Their hours online might not necessarily reflect when you are able to buy alcohol. I walked in after 11pm one night and even though they were still open, I was told that they cannot sell alcohol after 11pm (not sure if that is only on specific nights or if this is a nightly rule).

What is unforgivable, though, is that twice now, I've made a $2 purchase and found later that my credit card was charged $20. Fortunately my credit card company handled the dispute and refunded me the difference, but either they're "accidentally" adding an extra zero (which seems unlikely since it's happened twice), or they're intentionally overcharging, or they have a $20 credit card minimum that they DO NOT tell you or advertise in store. I have half a mind to go again to see what happens and then either report them to the police or sic a lawyer on them.
