For review 300, I'm switching location back to Newport Beach, CA. again making it more noticeable. I have been following Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar restaurants since our Yelp15 Retreat in Palm Springs back in 2019, so I found out this year their closest branch would be Newport Beach. This past week, I had a half day off so was able to drive out for a quick take out trip. Due to arriving early, I wanted to support a different local biz there so decided to buy me some post cards. I recalled that back in Palm Springs, post cards were sold at Rite Aid; I stopped by this Newport Beach branch which wasn't far from the Corona Del Mar Plaza where Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar is located. At first I wasn't able to find any but once having asked the cashier, she was helpful enough I found them immediately. Wait time at cashier line was fast and efficient: I would return again. I found other sales happening here at this Newport Beach Right Aid~I was in a rush so didn't have time to shop much.

Sadly, I've never had a good experience with this pharmacy. The young lady at the front counter is sweet and helpful, however the woman with the long blonde hair is wretched. She acts like she is doing you a favor to serve you. The pharmacist, and older woman with longer gray hair consistantly is rude and late even when you call to make sure your prescription is ready. I have been going there the last year after 40 years at another pharmacy which was amazing but we moved sadly I don't want to come here again.

Do NOT go here. Save yourself the trouble and go to literally any other neighborhood pharmacy. Pharmacists are inept and don't care about providing service. Went to pickup my heparin script and they failed to provide syringes. We went right back in and they blamed my provider. They gave me heparin cartridges with no carpuject!. "Pharmacist" said to come back next day. We called back and they then realize I need a carpuject, which they dont carry. Went in circles for almost a week to change to heparin vial. They still couldn't get it right. I'm done with this place.

Went into the Bayside Newport Beach Rite-Aid Pharmacy today. Typically the service is good but when there's a problem, things can be different. I went into today around 2:40 to get my booster shot and was asked to fill out a form and was told I would get my shot around 3:00. I turned the form in about five minutes later. My name was called at three, at which time I was told that I needed an appointment since I did not have any pre-conditions. Very disappointing. I wasted 20 minutes of my time. I then talked to the assistant store manager. He was kind and said that I would have to agree that 90% of the time the pharmacy staff are nice. I said that's not the point. They need a sign re walk ins. Also, is the store really aiming to be nice 90% of the time. Also, it's highly disappointing that the store manager did not at least offer to see what he could do even if he was confident nothing would change. I am a regular at this store and hope to see things change. Unless I receive an apology, I will no longer be recommending this Rite Aid. Dave Gunderson

I have used their pharamacy for a dozen years (maybe more). They are friendly, knowledgeable, fast, and fair on prices. What more do you want?

This is my neighborhood Rite Aid so I am here a few times a month. Super friendly staff and I always find just what I need. Rarely a line. Easy and pleasant every time I shop.

Take the extra ten minutes to drive to literally any other pharmacy. The convenience factor of it being right next to balboa island is not worth the price increase. Prescriptions are double. They do not honor GoodRX coupons even though it says they are legally required to. I was in a hurry and wasn't able to take the time to go to an alternative and have it called in there so here I am paying double what I've been paying the last three years. They don't honor other locations pricing either or match competitors which CVS has also done for me in the past. For people that really need the extra money this can make a big difference and I thought people should know.

My family and I always have a very pleasant experience at this Rite Aid. From pharmaceuticals to snacks this is our convenient 'go to' location and are always taken care of swiftly and kindly. There's a particularly polite associate named William who is always very helpful!

Their Thrifty ice scream selection is a joke. Only like 8-10 flavors that are all nasty for the most part. Who wants cherry chip? They didn't even offer basic vanilla or strawberry. Chocolate chip even? Waste of my time, and yours too if you're craving an ice cream cone on a sunny Sunday.

absolutely horrible customer service. the younger lady that works in the pharmacy has yelled at me multiple times and now at my mom. completely embarrassing us in front of a line of people for something our doctor forgot to do. i have used this pharmacy for years but i am completely disgusted she had the nerve to yell at my sweet mom and upset her over something ridiculous. i will never support rite aid ever again.

This store is one of the cleanest rite aids ever! Maybe because it's centered in Newport/Balboa but regardless koodo's to the manager for seeing that tidy shelves, full shelves, nice cashiers, and cleanliness still matter.
