Northside Pharmacy is the perfect example of why locally-owned and operated businesses are superior to national chains. If you call, a real person answers and your question is sorted right away. If you go in and visit, the ladies are super-knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. In all the times I've gone to pick up a prescription, I've never waited more than 10 minutes dropping it off myself, and now that your Dr. has to call it in, I've never had to wait at all. Also, they have a wide selection of products, from the standard OTC brands that you know, to the harder-to-find natural and homeopathic choices that I often seek out. Love them and I'm so happy I live nearby. read more

I absolutely love this pharmacy. It's the best one I've been to. They treat their costumers like family. This one is a keeper for me!!

Never loved a pharmacy until I started going here. It's a pleasure to pick up prescription instead of a chore. The women who work there are incredibly helpful and competent/quick. read more

The friendliest and most helpful pharmacists I've had. Have been going 5+ years. Always willing to give helpful advice when requested but never in an intrusive or nosey way. They are super quick too: Unlike many other pharmacies, they won't make you wait unless they are truly backed up, which is rare, since they are efficient. I'd give six stars if I could. read more

A highly efficient and professional staff. The Pharmacists provide stellar service...such a rarity in today's pharmaceutical world overrun by corporate America pharmacies. Northside Pharmacy has been in business for a very long time, and I have used their services for over twenty years! It's so comforting to know that they are still in business in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY providing impeccable customer service paired with a top notch bedside manner approach to healthcare. Patients are first here. Thank you Northside! read more

Really simple. This is the best pharmacy with the friendliest, most knowledgeable pharmacists anywhere.

This might sound weird, but going to Northside Pharmacy is my favorite part about living in Williamsburg. Rachel is the best pharmacist - she really goes above and beyond to help you out. She's so kind and friendly, and it always cheers me up when I go in to fill a prescription. I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I will leave New York City before I switch pharmacies. This place is the best. Fast, friendly, efficient, and amazing at getting you the best deal for your insurance situation. Plus one of the best selections of natural beauty products in town. A neighborhood gem! read more

This pharmacy alone is reason enough to live in Williamsburg. One pharmacist speaks Polish and the other Spanish. Both are kind, efficient, and exceedingly competent. They knew my name by my second visit, and gave expert advice to a friend during a medical emergency. Plus, despite the tiny size of the place, they manage to stock everything I can never find in the soulless aisles of CVS or Duane Reade. read more

This is the best pharmacy ever. Rachel is really nice and very quick. I never have to wait!

A little old world pharmacy and apothecary in Brooklyn carrying high quality European and American lines.

This place is the best little neighborhood pharmacy! It moved locations from right on Bedford Ave down to Driggs right by the L stop and it's super convenient, I'm constantly stopping by on my way home from the train. They have every kind of natural and/or high quality make up you could imagine (vichy, keys, clinique), I frequently sample their products before buying larger containers and they always are happy to allow you to take samples from behind the counter they provide as well! I am obsessed with Essential oils and they have every variety you could ever hope for! They are big into homeopathic remedies and supplements there and I love their variety of everything from PMS relief, headaches and cold/flu remedies that are ALL NATURAL! They do have your regular tylenols and whatnot too though. Not to mention, it is owned and operated by women and mostly women work there, they are all so sweet and knowledgable. I end up in there for like an hour most days I go in haha I highly recommend this place if you want to support a wonderful local business that has amazing natural medicine remedies. There are 5 million duane reade's in this city, try something new ;) read more

The pharmacists who work here are so incredibly helpful and kind. i hate going to the pharmacy but I don't mind coming here. The prices are competitive and it feels great supporting a local business over Duane Reade. Green pill bottles! A+ read more

5+ stars. I have not written a single Yelp review, but Rachel and Halina deserve to be the one. I have been going here since the 90s, and they have given incredible customer service since long before the 'hood was even remotely desirable. They have not changed a bit, and I aspire to offer the same kind of service to my clients and their customers. I also noted that their pre-move rave reviews were dropped, and agree someone should point out how incredible they are on issues ranging from advice, filling scrips, choosing great products for their shelves, and generally being good people. Bravo to one of the best businesses in Brooklyn, or anywhere. read more

Thank goodness places like this stil exist. Been going here for years; great products and service. I even go here to get gifts for family! They also have great samples which is how I found my all time favorite sunscreen! read more

This is the kind of business that makes me want to stay in this neighborhood forever. Rachel and her partner make it their business to know you personally, know what you need, and take care of you. Many times they have given me "a few pills" when I was between thyroid prescriptions. They take care of you. And they are super informed and helpful when it comes to vitamins and supplements as well. All this and high end hair care products as well? I love them. And they love my dog, so I double triple love them. read more

The best pharmacy in town! I've tried some on the south side, and they always claimed they'd never received the prescription or forgot to fill it for a day. Nothing like that ever happens at Northside. Rachel Parker is a great pharmacist, has an incredible memory ,and maintains a friendly attitude no matter the time of day. Northside is also incredibly fast. I'll be loyal to them as long as I'm in the area. read more

After just moving into the area, I have to say that having such a pleasant experience with small businesses, Northside Pharmacy proved me wrong. Hearing great reviews about how wonderful their service is and how pleasant the pharmacists were I had to stop by. As I was walking I noticed the beautiful display and was drawn in. I was then quickly greeted by a young woman who was very friendly. Although they did not have the product I requested I was told to come back in the afternoon to pick it up. Unfortunately when I came back the energy of the store was completely different. First, the pharmacist was ranting very loudly it almost struck me. I quietly than went up to the girls by the register and asked for the item I was looking for earlier. A lovely young lady helped me and while I was waiting to purchase the item the pharmacist than began to yell at me asking me my name. I wasn't sure if she was talking to me or not but she kept repeating herself looking at me. Finally I told her I wasn't waiting for a prescription and she than turned to the girls and started screaming at them for not being efficient with the customers. It was the most bizarre experience I ever encountered, I left completely baffled. I guess it's Duane Reade from now on and they have beer! read more

Northside Pharmacy is the best pharmacy in the 11211/11249 area codes. The pharmacists are very knowledgable, patient, super friendly, always willing to help/answer questions and call the doctor's office for a refill. Besides the RX goodies, the pharmacy offers a great selection of everything a great pharmacy should have, even for the pickiest individuals. read more

amazing pharmacy -- great, personal service, and they have the best products. they have stuff like umcka tablets, great homeopathics, and armour thyroid medication, which is difficult to come by. read more

i've been going to rachel and halina's pharmacy for more than ten years now - even when williamsburg was still a sketchy neighbourhood with a 35% vacancy rate they were always cheerful, helpful and actually remember who you are! they'll help you solve your health insurance troubles, help you save money on RXs and rachel always has some herbal or homeopathic remedy up her sleeve - just ask. even after i moved from williamsburg to greenpoint i make it a point to trek down to their store even though there are closer pharmacies nearby - it's totally worth the trip. read more
