Willner Chemists: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Best store for nutritional supplements
Thanks so much for the kind words, Elizabeth. It's our pleasure to serve you!
Fantastic experience: The gentleman with the long beautiful hair at the location near Park ave was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to go over each product we were looking for! He was very patient and truly knew the vitamins that would best work for us even while the store was closing. ( we will come in earlier next time haha)
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. They have a lot of supplements and vitamins. You can’t find in normal shops. The store is extremely clean and quiet. They allow you space to shop and not hound you with a million and one questions. They are extremely helpful when asked. They are also extremely knowledgeable. The only feedback I have is that there needs to be a Better herbal tea section
Fantastic experience: This magical place effortlessly fulfills even the most unusual vitamin + supplement requests. It's a treasure trove for health-conscious individuals seeking unique, effective products. Unlike some competitors, Willner embraces a modern, sophisticated approach to wellness, eschewing the stereotypical 'hippie dippy' vibe.
Fantastic experience: I had a cold and my coworker said to try Willners because they have everything when it comes to vitamins and holistic remedies. She was 100% correct. The man at the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable when I said I wanted to shorten the length of my cold that I could feel coming on. It worked! My colds would generally last a week or more but this concoction knocked it out in 2-3 days.Thank you Willners!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dane
Fantastic experience: Levi was friendly and quickly found the supplements I was looking for.

Positive experience: Good selections of vitamins
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Negative experience: Really don’t have much any more. Tried to buy niacin. All out. Tried to tell me 100mg iron available only by prescription. So I bought on Amazon.
Sorry that you did not find the Niacin that you needed Chris.
We did not have experience with such a high dose of iron and misinformed you about availability which we are also sorry about.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and helpful store staff who go above and beyond. I’ve been here multiple times to get supplements and can’t recommend it enough.
Thanks for being a loyal customer Karen and we so appreciate your kind words.

His extensive knowledge about various supplements, vitamins, and natural remedies was impressive. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided personalized recommendations, ensuring that I left the store with the most suitable products for my well-being. Not only was he knowledgeable, but his patience and willingness to answer all of my questions made the entire shopping experience enjoyable. He demonstrated a genuine passion for helping customers lead healthier lives, and it was evident in his dedication to providing top-notch customer service. The store itself was well-organized, with a diverse selection of high-quality health products, and a pharmacy.

Fantastic experience: Helpful understanding and kind staff, especially at the counter. As I was visiting from overseas and use different named brands it was great to be able to discuss what I needed, be heard and shown the equivalent product.
So glad that we were able to help Maria.
Fantastic experience: Love that place. please come back downtown.
Thank you for your kind words and sorry about closing the downtown store. We had no choice.

Fantastic experience: Great vitamins and they have nutritional gurus at the site who provide great nutritional and health advise
Fantastic experience: I feel safe here getting all of the health supplements Mom and I need. Thank you Willner♥️♥️
Fantastic experience: I get what I need
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff and knowledgeable
Positive experience: Courteous and helpful staff. Good quality and prices. I purchase many of my health supplements at this Chemist.
Negative experience: I used this store for a number of years. Mostly ordering on line. Recently I had to order over the phone. As a result I was charged twice as if I ordered two bottles of probiotic while I ordered only one. To argue with the people over the phone was useless. Apparently admitting mistakes is not something they were taught. Much easier to lie. Both persons were rude and suggested for me to throw another bottle away. No refund. Tough to be a Canadian! Won't use them anymore. Remembered, that some time ago I wanted to clarify something on their site and got mocked. Terrible customer service!
Fantastic experience: These guys are the best! Amazing service, always happy to help and offer good advice. Fantastic selection of high quality, well sourced brands and supplements.
Fantastic experience: Went in with the intention to get blood pressure supplements. I had Dane's help and we had such a pleasant conversation of different ways to naturally lower blood pressure. He was telling me about the 3-6-9 breathing technique (which I'm using now!). Although I didn't buy anything, I'm definitely coming back for probiotics!
Positive experience: Good place to get your needs Helpful staff Could use some warmer atmosphere And more smiles
Fantastic experience: What you get here is personal attention with a knowledgeable staff and a pharmacist who is so helpful about making the right choice for my specific needs.The best brands in the marketplace under one roof! We're fortunate to have a top rate brick and mortar storefront in nyc for vitamins & nutrients. I've been a happy customer for years and will continue to support local small business.
Fantastic experience: Excellent A very great place
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for vitamins, supplements and herbs, it's a place for you. Very helpful stuff.
Fantastic experience: They have the greatest selection of the BEST vitamins + supplements in the USA. If you have health issues or are immune-compromised, this store on Park Avenue will have the vitamins to assist you. Their staff is quite educated on everything.
Fantastic experience: Love this store. Incredible selection of every vitamin supplement and herb you can imagine, and their prices are often better than you’ll find online.
Fantastic experience: If Vitamin Shop doesn’t carry a specific product, the staff at Willner Chemists are knowledgeable to perhaps suggest alternate products to address your concern. There is no establishment comparable for price and staff service than Willner Chemists that I know of in New Yawk :•}
Positive experience: Perfect for Vitamins and Health products
Fantastic experience: This place is fab! Sam was incredibly helpful.
Fantastic experience: Huge selection of health products. Knowledeable staff.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service thanks to the knowledgeable and friendly staff at Willner Chemists! I stopped by here to pick up a few items for my wife. She had called in earlier in the day to inquire about post-nasal drip remedies. The expert chemists here had just the ticket! The homeopathic remedy recommended made my opera singing wife feel great again.
Thanks for the review Michael and glad that we could help.
Negative experience: If you are a person of color, and would rather not be racially profiled during your lunch break, I suggest you instead do your shopping at the CVS around the corner. Despicable behavior was displayed today by the staff here.
Fantastic experience: The Grand Central Willner store is very well stocked with vitamins, minerals, herbs , books and related nutritional items from various brands. The staff is very knowledgable and will help guide your choices. Their prices are competitive and sometimes sales are offered on specific brands. In my experience, no other NYC vitamin store even comes close to what Willner offers. It’s a place to value and explore.
Fantastic experience: Excellent store !
Fantastic experience: I never will go anywhere else for my supplements. Willner has an amazing selection of herbal, homeopathic and vitamin supplements. I adore Felicia, she is so helpful, not pushy, and knows great supplements for middle-age women. I always look for her. And the two young women at the register are a delight. I truly love shopping here.
Fantastic experience: Dane was a creative thinker solving a technical problem with my receipt. He is the experience I'm calling excellent for good humor, flexibility and will to accommodate. Unfortunately, a criticism is that a previously approached male staff member did not give me confidence on two counts. He was looking into his phone, which I seemed to interrupt, and when I asked if he was free, he did not answer YES directly. Rather, "How can I help you"--a formality that has the irony of depersonalizing a relationship--was said twice. His argument was that I should accept his manner as the only answer I needed. I said there seemed to be a cultural difference and--happy in my choice--moved on to Dana who knew how to partner authentically.
Fantastic experience: Wilner’s has the best prices on many of the supplements I buy. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They also have a great selection of well-priced natural lotions, shampoos and personal care products. The store is well-organized, light and airy.
Fantastic experience: The best quality and choice of homeopathic remedies, vitamins and supplements. Comparably low prices. Convenient location oitside of Grand Central's door. Open 6 days a week.
Fantastic experience: I have had very positive experiences with Willner Chemists and now I am attempting to locating a store in Queens or Long Island. If there is no store near this area, I would like to order their catalog. Their supplements are great!
Fantastic experience: Love this store but I miss the one that was at 253 Broadway it was more convenient for me since I work in the area. But I will go to this one, they have everything..lol
Fantastic experience: This is my favorite vitamin shop. They have rare products that is hard to find in other stores, or you can find it online only. The staff are very knowledgeable and nice.
Fantastic experience: Recommended highly, best in class
Fantastic experience: This is a rather unique supplement store with extremely qualified individuals. I've been doing orders on the web for years! I started with them after I realized they have ENTIRE lines of health supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc.). I have never had a problem ordering online and I enjoyed calling for assistance because the people are so helpful and knowledgeable. Two hundred thumbs up to this place!!
Fantastic experience: Two other local pharmacies referred me to Willner because they themselves did not have the homeopathic remedies I needed in stock. I called Willner after the 2nd pharmacy said the same as the first. At first, I was disappointed when no one picked up the phone but decided to leave a message. Surprisingly, within five minutes Akin called me back, asked how he could help me and assured me everything was in stock and indeed he would set it aside for me. No lines or waiting when I arrived, and just as I said my name, Akin acknowledged me from his higher tiered perch and assisted his colleague in finding the bag he already set aside with my name on it. Felt like a concierge experience. Perhaps I'm making a big deal about this but when you're not feeling well and your health practitioner implores you to get a specific remedy asap...then you just want to be assured...not delayed or bothered. I'm glad there are people like Akin and places like Willner to ease the hurt even before you have your treatment. #LetsGuide #Reco100 #RecoveringKnowItAll

Fantastic experience: i love the pharmacy and the people work there
Fantastic experience: i just called the pharmacy asking for information- I spoke to 2 people ( mike and Atkin) they were both amazing. They were helpful and made suggestions. I can't wait to go to this pharmacy in person
Positive experience: Great selection and a Nd on premise to answer all your questions.
Fantastic experience: Great selection of supplements, natural products with a friendly and knowledgeable staff
Fantastic experience: The best supplement store in New York City. The staff is knowlegeable, helpful and know the characteristics of the products of the products they sell. I have been helped with suggestions for remedies as well as the proper dosage for each product. Experience has shown that the information they impart is correct and can be trusted. Would recommend this store to anyone tired of being poisoned by conventional drug company therapies.
Fantastic experience: They have plenty of vitamins,herbal supplements and homeopathic medicine. The staff are very helpful.
Fantastic experience: Always helpful and insightful .
Positive experience: great selection of vitamins and natural remedies at affordable prices (sometimes cheaper than Amazon). staff sometimes seems bothered if you ask for help.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, like a European pharmacy, with expert staff and a huge selection of healthy wholistic products.
Fantastic experience: the most complete and well staffed holistic - vitamin - supplement shop that i've come across in new york. their prices are comparable to similar brick and mortar stores but their selection is -not necessarily larger- but better. the best thing about wilner chemist is that, while vending bio products with little no no oversight, the staff is uncommonly knowledgeable of the products and brands that they carry.
Positive experience: Love the store. Great stock. But employees back in nutrition unfriendly and management doesn't take note of complaints.
Positive experience: Excellent Vitamins store. Mainly made of natural minerlas and herbals. Good place to start taking care of your body and develop preventive lifestyle. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great value for money.
Negative experience: This store is massive. Their array of products is astounding and it's a very lovely store. The staff however are extremely rude. Walked in, said hello and the staff at the register just stared at me like I had five heads. They did not greet or ask if I needed help. I've never been to the store before, so I was going to ask for assistance, but after what I assume was the manager gave me the most disgusted look I decided to help myself. Thankfully the store is very well organized and I immediately found what I was looking for. Walked up to the register, barely got a 'hello' and a 'thank you' from the cashier and left. I'm sure they have great products, but after being blatantly ignored by staff, I'll be sticking to VitaHealth.
Fantastic experience: I love this pharmacy! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable about the product and happy to answer questions. One fantastic feature is that you can meat with a nutrionist, a service offered to me the first time I picked up vitamins. Another great feature at Willner is that you can order supplements and pay for them ahead of time, just pick them up at the pharmacist in the back. A great old fashioned pharmacy for any and all supplements under the sun. Happy to come here again and again.
Fantastic experience: ❤❤❤ this store
Fantastic experience: f you buy your supplements in a store, this is the store for you. A good,selection of quality brands. Staffed by knowledgeable and helpful employees.
