I love this local drug store. Owned and run by three generations of the same family. They employ local kids and even fund the local ice rink. I appreciate how they know us, our kids, and our neighbors. The pharmacists are knowledgeable and kind. read more

customer 10 yrs, would not go anywhere else! customer service is excellent! I you need to just go into a business and ask a question, and NOT hear I don't know. this is the place. RX's, Vaccines, medical equipment read more

I just moved to the city, was looking for a new pharmacy and didn't want to go with a big-box place. I read the Yelp reviews and checked it out, and I ended up transferring my prescriptions here! The staff is personable and helpful, and they also send automated text reminders when an Rx is ready. You can also get a flu shot or Covid vaccine here. read more

It's an independently owned neighborhood pharmacy. That in and of itself is rare these days. They seem to know me already and I've just started getting occasional medication fills here. The pharmacists are accessible. They let you know when your meds are ready. The lines aren't insane. The improvement in the pharmacy experience over Walgreen's or CVS is so extreme it's hard to imagine they're the same type of business. It's small so don't expect to buy your groceries, but they have a surprising amount of medical supplies, etc. for a small place. read more

Never underestimate the importance of a good local pharmacist/pharmacy. St. Paul Corner drug is one of the best around. Throughout the pandemic and beyond they have been a great resource on vaccinations and prevention measures. I fill all my prescriptions with them and appreciate the prompt service as well as the time they take to discuss medication. They are a true asset for our neighborhood read more

Kudos to Robert the pharmacist! He went out of his way to call different manufacturers to find an alternative to the drug my doctor prescribed so I could avoid some allergens. He couldn't find anything that was safe for me, and so recommended another pharmacy where they can create an alternative compound onsite. Above and beyond--thank you Robert! read more

A cozy and complete old time pharmacy and one of the last independents around I'm sure. After I lost another mom and popper in Mpls I stretched some miles to try Corner Drug. I really want to buy some items like certain supplements from the smaller guys rather than on line or the mega stores. I don't think I paid anymore than about .80 cents more for the item than I would have at the giants. I was greeted upon entry, and then asked if I needed help which I did. A selection was pointed out and there was a brief explanation of the choices and Rx explanation of things like absorption rates. Of course we have always heard about the soda fountain and five cent coffee still available..even I can't remember coffee being five cents! I didn't have time for the coffee this trip but will try at another session as perhaps I should try to stop and smell the roses or coffee more often. read more

They personally know me by my name! Everyone on staff goes the extra step to assist me whenever I am there, whether it is to pick up a Rx or deciding which sunscreen is better. Always friendly, kind, genuine customer service and excellent pharmacist's. They care about each individual who walks through their door. read more

I wanted to try this place since it is close to my home. The dr. called in a new perscription and the next day when I went to get it they told me they are not taking new customers. The pharmacist remarked that he knew he had messages waiting but hadn't managed to check them yet. Very weird vibe. read more

Had another great experience at my favorite local pharmacy! This time I was there for a shingles vaccine. The nurse, Hildie, was very thorough, ensuring I knew what to expect and expertly administering the vaccine in the arm on the side I don't sleep on! She also took the time to look at my vaccination history, advised another vaccine that I'm overdue on, and assisted me in downloading the Docket app so I can easily view my vaccination records. I always feel well taken care of at St Paul Corner Drug! read more

Good and prompt service. Very helpful staff. I am glad to support an independent pharmacy.

I went for my last Covid booster and flu shot yesterday. John was the person giving the shots. After he had administered my Covid shot he proceeded to tell me that my flu shot would be $117. He then went on about what bad insurance I had, naming the company more than once. This was in front of 3 people having the shots as well. My name had been called out as well. At the least, very unprofessional and at the most HIPAA violation. read more

Cute as can be! This place is what I like about neighborhood places. After Target couldn't fill my prescription because they didn't carry my item and after another RX took over 4 hours to fill I maybe switching to this place for good. Such a cluster at Target lately. Called St. Paul Corner Drug and they special ordered some items for me and signed me up for email notifications. They said Monday and there was my email waiting for me as promised that my RX was ready. Excellent customer service, nice and friendly staff. Very nice! read more

I have been here several times since I changed pharmacies. I wasn't sure at first the hours are short. The place is really small. I was worried about parking. ( Saint Clair and Snelling) The people seem so small town. I am glad I kept coming back. The hours are not a real problem, because if you have an emergency and need something filled after hours there is an emergency number. The small space is kinda cozy. The small town feel. Well it means they treat you like a friend. The pharmacists care, the staff care. They want to make sure you get the best treatment you can. The parking has not been an issue. Lots of street parking. Plus if you have time you can get an old-fashioned soda, or ice cream. Maybe next time. read more

St. Paul Corner Drug - a mural on the side of a building - Drugstores Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

This place consistently provides excellent services and I love it. 1. Meds are cheaper here. I don't know how, but one of my medications that's ~$170 at both CVS and Walgrens ended up being $26 here. It was a combination of the price being lower to start with, and then StPCD staff noticing that my stuff is less expensive when they run it for cash without insurance and telling me. I don't really understand how pricing works, at all, so -- I frequently ask for new meds to be called in at/transferred to multiple places so I can compare pricing. For the ~8 meds my doctor has done this with, I've never had a med that wasn't immediately cheaper at StPCD than at CVS & Walgreens. 2. Staff are helpful & welcoming When I started going here, I'd never managed my own health information before, and a couple people there talked with me about insurance stuff. I've sorta wanted to go to the more impersonal corporate places because some of the meds I pick up are relatively stigmatized psychiatric drugs. With the exception of one negative encounter (out of more than 50 visits, & relevant person is no longer there), everyone has been v chill, v polite. 3. Everything is reliable & on-time. I've never had any delay in getting my meds filled. Several times, I've showed up without calling ahead (...which I know is rude, I shouldn't have done that) and they've still gotten my prescriptions ready within twenty minutes. I've never had any problems transferring prescriptions. 4. Available supplements are quality. At a lot of common stores, there are supplement formulas that make no sense. Different nutrients that inhibit absorption of one another will be in the supplements. There'll be turmeric supplements without piperin even though your body barely absorbs any turmeric without it. I'm no expert, but I've never seen stuff like that here, and I appreciate it. tl;dr this place is great!! Check them out!! read more

So the service is great until they create an error on their end and make you out to be the problem when the issue is addressed. Upon talking to one of the girls on the other end she had a huge chip on her shoulder. So much so that my friend in the background was like woah what is her issue. I was upset because my card was charged double the amount in which the chick on the phone first tried saying delivery fees went up and that it was noted what I asked which she said was same day delivery. That's very frustrating when it was indeed the opposite of what I had asked. I understand errors happen but it was the whole mannerism of the conversation. I asked to speak to Robert who is the supervisor and he asked me what he can do to correct it. So I asked him if he is okay how i was treated and talked down on in which he said he never observed that. So literally they either had me on speaker so he could hear me on the other end of it (which would be against HIPAA REGULATIONS) or he simply just didn't care at all. He was very persistent she did nothing wrong. She even was so narcissist to flip the script and said I called her a liar when in fact she was calling me one because I said how it was noted it was wrong and she was also persistent what I said when placing my order originally and it was COMPLETELY WRONG. So again everything will be great unless they make an error and then act like you're a.huge inconvenience and not take your word at all "because of their notes " that were incorrect. I am a big partner with my community and I am middle eastern woman I strongly urge to stay away from this establishment because they do not care the tone they use towards you and do not care what the truth is as long as they have "notes" even when input incorrectly. Very disappointed this is what the world has come to. Some people should work in customer service and others it's so apparent lack total training and ethical standards when it comes to just admitting their wrong. She started out with "YOU ASKED AND TOLD THEM YOU WANTED SAME DAY" that in itself is very triggering when that is not what happened at all. So again tone was very condensing. By the way still haven't seen a reversal which they claimed on their end for over charging me double for same day delivery which again I never asked for. We will see what happens in few days with the money overcharged. Don't expect much to happen when the supervisor defends someone's actions of immoral conversation. read more

I just discovered this drug store and it is EXCELLENT. -They do home deliveries! -They have $0.10 cups of coffee at the coffee bar! -They have a fun, old-fashioned soda fountain! -Prescriptions are guaranteed to be ready in 5 minutes from drop off! And, most of all, when my medication was having a national supply shortage, and I could not find another pharmacy in Mpls/St. Paul who had it (I called over 10 pharmacies that day, and visited four others), this pharmacy was not affected by the shortage. They told me it was because they don't enter into exclusive agreements with any one supplier (like the big chain pharma's), so while they don't get the amazing bulk prices of the big chains like Target/CVS/Walgreens, they can work with different suppliers when one is being difficult. I'll have to update this later once I figure out if my meds were more expensive than I paid at Target, but the price was within reason. And, even if they were more expensive, to me it's worth knowing that the Pharmacy is not going to leave me high and dry if a supplier is unreliable. I am sold! read more

I am a big supporter of privately owned businesses such as this. I used to go to Bober's on Grand. I generally boycott large drug store chains. I like the personal touch, and the relationship the dr's tend to have with the pharmacists. If they don't have something, they don't hesitate to order it. Every new Rx he comes out and explains the directions. They have some cards, and gift items, but no magazines. It's not a one stop shop kind of place. You always see people gather at the counter for coffee, pop, or ice cream, or just a place to wait for a Rx to be filled. They deliver, too. read more

I go to St. Paul corner drug because of their integrity. They knew me by name within the first few months. I moved from St. Paul to White Bear Lake in 2014 and I still drive down 25 minutes to use this pharmacy. read more

I like to support local businesses so I try to get my prescriptions filled here when I can. The tricky thing is their hours, what with not being open 24 hours and closed on Sundays, but I make an effort to get there because it is worth it. They are exceptionally friendly, come out and actually talk with you about your prescription and ask if you have questions and actually care. Walgreen's may be open 24-7, but you are definitely a number to them - not the case all Corner Drug. As mentioned they have a soda-pull, but I am not usually in a casual mode when I am there, so have not tried it, though it is busy enough when I am there that it must be good. read more

After hearing the rave reviews on the Current (89.3 fm radio station) about this place, I really wanted to try it for their soda fountain, ice cream, and old time atmosphere. My boyfriend and I walked in and the ice cream area was right up front by the door. They have wooden nickels you can buy to pay for ice cream which is really cute. The menu wasn't very big and we wanted to find out what the best to try was. We got two items that were kind of like a mix between floats and Italian sodas. One was a zandibar chocolate, chocolate flavored syruped treat which was so delicious and chocolatey. The second was a cookies and cream ice cream float with vanilla flavored syrup. These were so amazing and I want to go back there every day. The place had a cute feel to it, the girl behind the counter was very friendly, and the ice cream and soda treats are to die for. read more

I feel like I have been going about my prescriptions all wrong. Please forgive me for the error of my ways (I'm looking at you, Walgreens). This business is warm, personal and knowledgeable. I always feel welcome when I arrive to pick up my 'scripts. They take most insurance and whenever you call, you never have to wade through a phone tree. read more

I lived in the area for years and am now in B'ville. They have no problem mailing the meds to me. When I do go in SPCD has got a much better vibe to the place relative to Walgreens, CVS, Target, etc. I'm glad to support them. read more

Quaint, cute and somewhat pricey. What isn't there to love? I want to try their ice cream and bump this up to five stars. :) read more

This is the best pharmacy ever. I love everything about it and use it exclusively. We are fortunate to have them in our neighborhood. read more

Corner Drug on St. Clair and Snelling Ave. in St. Paul Minnesota is focused on Customers' needs and as friendly as it gets. They have my business for keeps! The degree of helpfulness I experienced there today was unparalleled. I will recommend Corner Drug when ever I get a chance. Thank you very much! read more

Great service, knowledgeable, friendly staff. They embody the true meaning of local business--and I am very happy to support them! Love the gifts/cards/eco-friendly products they stock, and my kids love a visit to the ice cream counter. I fill every prescription here, unless it's a late-night emergency, and then I am always shocked at how crappy the service and how long the wait is at chain pharmacies. We love Corner Drug! read more

I've been using SPCD for over 15 years when I first moved here. The staff all know me by name and treat me with the utmost respect. If they find a problem with a prescription, they are quick to notify the clinic or call me. I highly recommend them to anyone needing pharmacy care! read more

If you are frustrated with the big corporate rules and ways, this place is for you. I was exhausted from calling pharmacies looking for a medication from a specific manufacturer. I contacted the pharmacist at St Paul Corner Drug who listened to me and within hours was able to find and order my meds. Walgreens and CVS have their wholesaler and are not in the biz of personal service like this. Extremely happy to have all my prescriptions filled here. They are efficient, courteous and affordable. read more

I about fell over and died with happiness walking in here. I luuuuurrrrvvveee old-time drug stores...I channel Mary Poppins and start singing "Just a spoonful of sugar/makes the medicine go dooWWn" just seeing the soda fountain and the old tile and the shelves crammed with stuff. We didn't really need to interact with the pharmacist, as my shopping list consisted of ibuprofen and rubbing alcohol...but even those were cheerily packaged in SPCD bottles and priced decently. It's a neighborhood gem! read more

Very knowledgable pharmacists. In addition to filling regular prescriptions, they have a line of naturopathic products that work very well. I'm very happy to support this local business. read more

I've been coming here for almost 20 years. Supporting a small business is important to me, them & the economy. The staff is great & know me by name. Any complications with prescriptions are handled quickly and if they can't be resolved in the store (which isn't often), they refer me somewhere it can. Not to mention the soda fountain! I get a cone every time I visit! read more

Thank goodness for St. Paul Corner Drug. I quit one of the large chains almost two years ago because I found two different pills with no relation to one another in one bottle. Not good. Returned the Rx and they didn't even apologize. Fast forward to SPCD. Great small locally owned pharmacy who gets it right every time. Terrific service and they have an actual old fashioned soda fountain. Add in stellar service and you've got prescription for success! read more

I used to get my prescriptions filled here during college, when I lived within walking distance. Service was prompt, friendly, and discreet - and cheap ice cream kept me happy while I waited! St. Paul Corner Drug's what a pharmacy should be. read more

I love this place. I wish I lived closer. it would be the only pharmacy I would go to. it took very quick to fill my 4 prescriptions and when they gave me a consult they came out and talked to me in a chair because i had a herniated disc and it hurt to stand. there were adorable little old ladies sitting on stools in the front where they have an adorable small little malt shop. they serve ice cream and malts for very cheap and coffee for 5 cents! an amazing local shop with very friendly people. I wish I lived in this area but when i moved to st paul I didn't know much about the areas. read more

Small business pharmacy but had all my prescriptions at the same price I would normally pay. They also give huge servings of ice cream for what you pay for.other items might be a little more pricey than if you were to buy them at a big chain store but you are paying for the convenience if you live in the neighborhood. read more

Great service! Always super friendly and helpful. The ice bream counter is awesome too if you are looking for a sweet treat at an affordable price. read more

Love this place-be sure to get a coffee or phosphate when you stop by-really cool place with great service.

I've been using St. Paul Corner Drug for over 25 years. The staff will go out of their way to help in any way possible. This is a personal pharmacey. Everyone is treated like family. The store has a soda fountain, 10 cent coffee, cards, gifts, and if they don't have what you need....they will order it. They also provide home delivery!! Laura C read more

I've been using this pharmacy for 30 years, but the hours are really frustrating. I'd like to stay local but will have to switch to a pharmacy that stays open past 5 on Saturdays and that will offer at least some Sunday and holiday hours. Sometimes emergencies really do happen, and SPCD's hours are too limited. read more
