Grove Apothecary 302 West 12th Street, Manhattan, New York 10014

"Run here - have a fantastic range of hair and skincare products - all of the french classics. A MUST visit. I just got this French cult classic cream Biafine - totally worth the hype"

"I’m a long-term local residence and I also work in the healthcare field. This pharmacy is excellent they have an amazing retail selection, their windows are probably some of the nicest in the city and are all traded towards the season and the customer service is top-notch. They always seem to have the pharmaceuticals that you need and the pharmacy counter is really friendly, the services prompt, and they answer all questions asked. Some of those ridiculous big bucks pharmacy store should try to mimic what this place does if they want to keep their good reputations."

"I tried every big box pharmacy in the area. A pharmacy’s a pharmacy I thought, and generally a lousy experience. Wrong! Grove works with you — they follow up and never keep you waiting. The nicest team ! Can’t rate highly enough!"

"Beautiful selection of hair ornaments, beauty products, jewel colored mesh bags, fancy soap etc. The owners and staff are helpful. They create gorgeous holiday windows, a practice possibly dating back to when the West Village retail shops competed for the most outstanding holiday windows."

"This is the quintessential "mom and pop" pharmacy. They carry high end hair and skin products along with lesser known product lines. Plus a ton of all natural alternatives. But the reason I love it the most is because the staff is super sweet, kind and helpful. They know who you are and always offer me smiles and pleasant conversation."
