St. Paul Corner Drug

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.

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!

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

Best pharmacy in St. Paul; privately owned, busy, busy pharmacy; not a chain big box. Feels like a small town friendly place when picking up prescriptions monthly. It is so wonderful that its closed on Sunday for a day of rest. Its Prices for RX kind of expensive if a person has to pay for it all out of pocket. The Pharmacist will always sit down with you if it’s a new prescription, for info, and your questions: such wonderful service, such pleasant professionalism. SP Corner Drug has real people positive values… and its real good attention to us as real people makes those other big box pharmacies look even more money driven for profit than we even know.

Nice that it’s local and independent but I’ve frequently arrived to find that my prescription has not been filled as promised or that there has been a change in the medication without explanation. Pharmacists often call you into a little area by the counter for unnecessary consultations. Less impressed by pharmacy than I’d like. Ice cream counter is nice.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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. :)

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.

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.

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!

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.
