First timer to the pharmacy, great Altadena location and access to parking... very nice experience!…read moreWent in for a shingles vaccination, I hate needles, but Gwyn made me comfortable and administered the shot with ease. All that worry for nothing. Additionally, Erika and the team were a pleasure to do business with. Unless something goes very wrong, I have found my pharmacy!

In the olden days, before massive corporations pushed small mom-and-pop stores out of business,…read morealmost every neighborhood had its own independent neighborhood pharmacy. Many of these functioned as mini-department stores, having a wide selection of goods to meet the needs of the community: cookware, clothing, and gifts, just to name a few categories. Webster's Pharmacy seems to be one of these almost extinct businesses that has miraculously survived in Altadena since 1926. I was on my way to Bulgarinia Gelato when I noticed the cool retro signage of Webster's and decided to pop in to check it out. There's a large, free parking lot in the back, as well as street parking in the front. I was pleasantly suprised to find not only a fully stocked pharmacy but an absolutely adorable gift shop featuring BOOKS and other gifts. This includes a section devoted to ANTHONY BOURDAIN (a hero to many Yelpers, despite his utter disdain for Elite Yelpers, may he RIP). There are holiday candies, slippers, Christmas tree ornaments and pretty much something for everyone (there was even a section for folks that like to use "colorful metaphors", as Spock would say.) I'm not sure if the gifts are stocked year round but if you need something last minute for the holidays, Webster's can certainly help. Most items are full price but occasional discounts apply. Long live Webster's!

This was our first time here, and my wife actually planned this as part of our anniversary date, so we were really looking forward to it. We walked in and the store was completely empty. We said hi, but the girl working there just looked at us. We even had to ask if she worked there because she didn't say anything. She just gave us a weird look and nodded. It honestly made us feel like we weren't supposed to be there. We looked around anyway, but all of the machines were out of order, which was already disappointing. We figured we'd at least make a photo frame instead, but by that point we just felt so uncomfortable that we decided to leave. It's such a shame because the store is colorful and has fun music playing, but the customer service was the complete opposite. A simple "Hi, welcome!" would've gone a long way. Definitely not the experience we were expecting, especially for our first visit. We won't be coming back.

I loved the booklet on local murals they had made by great local writer and artist. My daughter loves it too.

Thank you for being in our neighborhood!

[Parking]: There are plenty of metered parking spots and paid public parking lots, but parking can be hard to come by during busy shopping seasons. [Selection]: The shop offers various art supplies (e.g. drawing books), greeting cards, stickers, hair clips, pens, markers, Rolife DIY Miniature House, etc. This shop has slightly more selection on Valentine's Day cards. The shop was not as colorful as the next door stationery shop Shorthand. [Conclusion]: I didn't buy anything during my visit as I didn't see any specific items that matched what I was looking for, but I can see myself coming back here from time to time if I need to look for interesting greeting cards.

Erin was amazing and put together a fantastic terrarium-making party for my plant-loving daughter…read more She hadn't hosted a class in a while, and since it's so hard to find a local vendor for this kind of event, I practically begged her to do it--and I'm so glad she said yes! Erin was incredibly easy to work with and super accommodating. The shop has a great open space in the back, which was perfect for the party. Erin assembled a beautiful selection of succulents, colored sand, shells, moss, and other unique accents, and led the girls through a fun and easy-to-follow tutorial on how to build their own terrariums. The vibe was very cool and creative. The girls had the best time making their gorgeous little creations, while the parents enjoyed browsing the shop's thoughtfully curated selection of goods. Erin and Sien were both wonderfully engaging and added so much to the experience. After the workshop, the girls walked over to Ice Cream Luv just a few doors down to wrap up the celebration with a sweet treat. It was the perfect afternoon at a perfect location for a memorable birthday party. This venue would also be ideal for Girl Scouts or other group gatherings--fun, educational, hands-on, well-priced, and in a warm, welcoming space. Thank you, Acorn Eagle Rock!

Everything in this place: cards, tools, socks and stationary is food related. One table was entirely devoted to dill pickle swag! A shelf on the wall was completely reserved for butter merchandise!

I will definitely make a return visit.

I just finished a hike in Altadena, found Callisto on Yelp, and wandered in looking for a quiet post-trail moment. Instead, I was met with such a genuine warmth that made me feel like a guest instead of a transaction. The owner herself took my afternoon in a much softer direction. I ordered the afternoon tea service and fell into my book. This is the kind of place that invites you to read, write, and decompress. My tea of choice: Yellow Brick Road with osmanthus flowers blended with Darjeeling black tea. It tasted like sweet blossoms dipped in honey. The service also comes with three mini savory toasts, a scone with mascarpone cream and marmalade, and dessert. I chose the chocolate peanut butter cupcake which sent me into a blissful chocolate haze for the rest of the day. If you crave quiet, delicious, almost healing moments, you need to come here. Wendy, thank you for taking such good care of me and inspiring me to chill out for the rest of the afternoon.
