Wanted to get my 90 year old mom a Moderna booster in the car. Some of the big chains said no. These guys said yes without hesitation. Totally pleasant and professional . Ten stars.

I pay a little more to be with this pharmacy, but the employees and pharmacists here actually want to help, are courteous, answer the phone quickly and deal with the question or issue promptly. Walgreens and CVS do not do any of that, nor do they have any interest in considering whether they should. And the parking here is good!

It's the quintessential small town pharmacy. Great service, they know you as soon as you walk in the door. If you want something they don't have, they'll gladly order it for you. For a period of time I switched to a chain pharmacy, but it just doesn't compare to the knowledgeable staff and the warm welcome you'll receive here.

New Canaan Pharmacy on East Avenue in New Canaan formerly known as Varnums moved from Main Street to East Avenue about a year ago to move into a larger more contemporary space. After the move, they have more light from the skylights above as well as the light streaming through the large glass windows. The open space is much larger than Varnums former space on Main Street just a block away. New Canaan Pharmacy offers highly personalized service that larger pharmacies cannot offer. The pharmacists and pharmacy staff members are knowledgeable always helpful and available. They have top notch cosmetics
