Eve & Mike Pharmacy

I love Eve & Mike! My husband and I both have some complicated health issues, so when we moved in to the neighborhood a few years ago, we were nervous about finding a new pharmacy. The staff at Eve & Mike have always been fantastic about helping us get our prescriptions filled. If the medication is not kept in stock, they order it and have it for you the next day. Just as important, the pharmacist is very upfront about letting you know if any portion of the cost won’t be covered by insurance. There are never any surprises when you go to pay. Every person who works there is so friendly, not just to us but to our dog who they let us bring in to the store. They have that personal touch that is lacking at bigger chain pharmacies. So happy to have found them!

This little place is just fine, thus the «A-​OK» 3star rating. There’s nothing amazing, nor bad about it. I only go here for prescriptions, and they’ve always been nice and helpful, even calling my doctor to help solve an issue we had. It’s not a CVS where you go for all your drug store needs, and the small footprint and limited stock means of course they charge more than Duane Reade, like every other small store vs big store. So I think those complaints are silly. I’m happy they’re in the neighborhood.

I have been going here for about a month having moved nearby recently. My experience with the pharmacy staff has been the best I have had for the following reasons:
* Speed: After needlessly waiting 3 hours at Rite Aid or staying on line for 45 minutes at my Clinic’s pharmacy, a 5 – 10 minute wait was not only refreshing, but completely caught me off guard. They are a low traffic pharmacy and this means scripts get more attention faster.
* Friendliness: This depends on who is working there at the time, and how you treat them. I have been greeted quickly upon entering and I feel welcome there. It is personal and waiting for my scripts is pleasant. Most recently, they didn’t have a script that I transferred in and I will be waiting two days to get it. I was fine with this, and they threw in a free treat when I got my other script. I was beaming and I still am, especially since getting hormones at a new pharmacy can be awkward for transgender people.
In short, the pharmacy is extremely nice, at least when you are, and I will be returning. They might upsell some items in their store, but not beverages or prescriptions, at least not a noticeable amount. There are many stores which carry cheaper, comparable goods, but they are not pharmacies, or good ones for that matter.

Only because there’s no other pharmacy nearby do I go here! Rude and unprofessional to the max! The woman with the thick square shaped glasses needs to get an attitude check! Pronto!

This place is such a sham. Please, someone, tear it down asap. They’re charging 3x what larger stores charge, totally taking advantage of the neighborhood clientele who have nowhere else to go. From toothpaste to Qtips and everything in between, the prices are the shockingly high, and there is no selection.
I love the idea of patronizing a local, independent store but this place isn’t it. I wouldn’t trust them with a prescription or advice, and the service is terrible.
Crown Heights deserves better.

I hate to write negative reviews, but I feel I have to. Do not go here. The pharmacy tried to convince me I needed to pay $ 50 for a prescription that is usually free. Then, when I asked them to recheck, it came back as no payment. The woman at the counter lectured me saying it was my fault because I picked up the prescription at the wrong time. This is not true. I was shocked by how she spoke to me. I would not trust them with medications given the lack of attention to detail and lack of professionalism.

Eve & Mike’s is the epitome of a community based business! Last evening I was in great need of a prescription, not able to get to them until near closing time 7 PM. When I called I found they had to close early due to an emergency. But they miraculously helped me get the prescription anyway — and all without me having made any copay or had insurance verified! Plus their customer service in the store has always been excellent. thanks Eve and Mike’s!!!

I’ve been getting my prescriptions filled here for a year. They’re fast, and most importantly extremely friendly. This is the first time a place of business actually remembers me. Every single staff member always greets me by my first name when I walk in.
Little anecdote: the first time I dropped off a prescription, my prescription plan had somehow changed without my knowledge. One of the ladies (possibly the owner?) spent at least an hour to sort it out – on the phone – with United Healthcare. Have you ever called your insurance company? I can barely endure that, even for my own claims.
You think they do that kind of stuff at Walgreens? They would just shrug their shoulders and ring up the next person.
Also, they’re dog friendly!

It is a small drug store, but surprisingly well stocked. They keep just a few of each item stocked at any time so there’s actually quite a variety available and they re-​stock basically daily as needed. Because they get such frequent deliveries, you can ask them about anything they don’t have and often they can get it next day. Another reviewer I think misinterpreted the staff here– they may be a little socially awkward at times (I can relate), but they are sincere. When there’s more than just the person behind the counter, they make a point of having an associate ask everyone who comes in if they need help finding anything– it’s not a ploy because they think you might shoplift. They even called my doctor to extend the refills on a prescription when I hadn’t realized it ran out.

This place hasn’t been around very long and I’ve been in about three times. Two of those times I’ve had bad experiences. The first time I went in to look at cold medicine. I entered the store and went toward the back and knelt to look at their selection. A woman came around from behind the counter, and asked me if I needed help, as if I was doing something wrong, eying me suspiciously. I said no and just left. The second bad experience was yesterday. I went in to buy some Ibuprofen. It was a bit pricey at $ 11.99 (100 capsules Motrin IB) but I bought some anyways since they are a small business. The woman at the counter asked me «Can you smile?» I half-​heartedly smirked. She said, «You don’t wanna smile?» So I gave her a slightly less half-​hearted smirk. Then she said, «I’m just trying to be polite.»
That’s not polite. It’s patronizing and officious. Customers might smile if the cashier is engaging or funny, or if they’re just in the mood. Besides, she was the one who should have been smiling.

This pharmacy is small, so unless you’re ordering a very common drug you may need to wait a day for them to order it.
However, unlike the bigger chains in the area (Duane Reade, Kings, Thrifway) you will get personal attention above and beyond what is expected.
Both times I went, the pharmacist made several back and forth calls to my doctor and insurance company to make sure I received the right medicine at with the lowest copay. She also took the time to explain in detail what foods to avoid, etc.
The place is very new and clean, not crowded with people waiting.
