5 Best drugstore in Oakland, California (CA) 2024

Went in here for some foot powder - it’s alright. Most rite aids are kind of unkempt and this one is no exception. It’s also a little difficult to find things…I don’t know why. Just not an intuitively organized store. Anyways, one thing I really like about this place is their holiday aisle- especially during Christmas. You can find all the ubiquitous, yet nameless treats you remember from childhood here, like royal dansk cookies, and even a rite aid version(but these use palm oil instead of butter). Last, I find that there are a lot of disorganized and empty shelves, but this sort of applies to all rite aid locations I’ve been to. ~John

I’ve been coming to this pharmacy monthly for over 10 years now to pick up my family’s medications. That’s at least 120 pick ups. If not more for random illnesses and unexpected items. Have there been a few long wait times?. Sure.I mean you have sick people, insurance drama, the occasional snafu. But I’ve never had the wrong medication given, the pharmacists look out for their patients, and vast majority of time I am in and out in under 10 minutes. It’s a small store and not very fancy. But the long time people who work there really care. ~sujata

I will never use the pharmacy at this location. I had a cart with $100+ of medical supplies. There was no line at the RX counter. Yet, when I went to the RX counter they refused to ring up the items. Instead telling me to go to the regular counter where there was a line. That was ridiculous and lacked customer service. The other employees were cordial. ~Monique

Plenty of parking. Run down. Armed security guard at the entrance. Made an appointment for my daughter's Covid shot online beforehand. Waited apx. 30 min and never got the shot. ~Benjamin

The store was fine for my needs while in the area. Location was fine while in the general area. More or a convenience store and pharmacy. It does serve an important role in the community serving the patients of the medical clinic located upstairs and the neighboring community. ~Bill
