their prices are ridiculously higher than any other pharmacy in the area. Also the owner is incredibly rude. I was heading to the register today and he suddenly rushed outside shouting at people who were in line outside for 2 hours awaiting their vaccine shot. He was worried that they would scare off his customers. I saw him to scream in the face of two people whose terrible crime was to be standing too close to his entrance door. When I saw that, I put what i wanted to buy back on the shelf and left. He's never gonna see me again.

I don't understand some of the negative comments. This store provides a convenience to the community by accepting UPS deliveries. It is very convenient for me because I use it all the time when I'm at work in Park Slope. Sure, sometimes I'd have to wait, and the staff there recognizes you are waiting and are apologetic. They clearly move as fast as possible to accommodate me as I wait to get my parcel. And I enjoy the dependability and nostalgia of old "neighborhood drugstore", that always have things I need. Thanks for great service and convenience!

I never thought I'd have to visit a Yelp page before going to drop off UPS packages, but I wish I did. I looked up on UPS for an access point close to where I was headed, and I was glad to have found one. Unfortunately, as soon as I walked in the door, the guy working there (or the owner, who knows) was super rude to me. Told me that UPS wasn't picking up until Tuesday on account of Monday being a holiday. I said that's fine, and he said, "Well you don't have to worry about it, but I have to deal with it. Just leave it in that corner." I asked which corner, because he wasn't actually pointing in a corner, and he snapped at me to just drop it over there. I ended up complaining to UPS about this location. I'm surprised my packages even made it to UPS. Don't bother coming here, ever.

I always like this store/pharmacy. It’s a good neighborhood spot to get what you need and find interesting new things. Very helpful staff

The owner is continually rude and makes unnecessary, personal remarks. Creepy. I won't shop here again.

Guy / manager there is obnoxious. Why have a job in customer service? More suited to shouting at people on his lawn.

I am grateful for many reasons to have pure essentials nearby. Their product choices (great hair products, soaps, etc) are high salon quality and they are well stocked and fairly priced. In addition the pharmacy in the rear of the store provides excellent service. What Im most grateful for, because it is a "gift, not a given", is that Pure Essentials is a UPS access point. It is not easy for a store that size to receive packages, but they do at no cost to the customer. Al and his staff are reliably friendly and helpful.

For its size has a good selection of goods especially for baby needs. Prices are cheaper than Duane Reade, or Rite Aid out here as well. Also very nice you can drop off UPS packages here as well as do pickups here if UPS can't deliver to your home.

I have shopped at this business before and was always put off by the high prices of nearly every item in the store but my experience today takes the cake. The business says, "customer service is our specialty" it its side bar... what an absolute joke. Like other reviewers here, I had a problem with their status as a UPS pick up/drop off. I called UPS to confirm that I could drop off my box to this location. When I got there, the man working at the counter was already very haughty and nasty to me saying that they don't accept boxes but that he'd do it for me THIS ONE TIME. He scolded me and shook his finger at me. I asked if there was any information that said what they would allow/not allow and he said no. I left the package on the counter and as I was walking out the door I heard it fall to the floor. The man at the counter shouted, "********* at me as I walked out the door and crossed the street. By the time I was across the street, the man threw the package out the front door and on to the side walk. It was a horrifying and scary experience all around. I felt very embarrassed by this man's actions and I will never be shopping here again and I urge others not to. When I looked later my package was no longer on the sidewalk so they either "lost it" or threw it away.

Came in last week and I would never shop here again. I think the owner or manager was there and he seemed bothered to help me out with my ups package. Some products seem like they've been sitting on the shelves for a while they were all dusty, and overpriced. Check expiration's before purchasing from here. I would rather go to the other pharmacies in the area.
