Great place! Everyone is super helpful and answer my million annoying questions with a smile. Love the selections and the ease of the whole process. Parking can be tricky due to such a small lot but typically not to much of wait.
I love going to this location but recently they stopped using metal detector wands at the entrance. Its difficult to enter and leave the shop in a hurry, and the lack of wanding in a facility that processes a large quantity of physical cash is alarming.
weird parking lot that only fits about 4 cars while people are waiting out in the street with cars coming lowkey dangerous and expensive. somehow i could get much more than a gram for $50 somewhere else
Very respectful security. Very helpful and informative staff. I can tell they "Kare" about their customers.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Some great recommendations, including when I asked for the freshest flower because I have been missing "sticky" flower. I was very happy the next day (today) when I opened my Cereal Milk and it was sticking to my fingers.I will be shopping here moving forward !!
Fabulous Dispensary ..great product display ..excellent customer service!!!!
Beware, nice store, but very frequently out of the item you may be looking for. It has happened to me several times, very upsetting, and wasteful of time and gas, after you make the trek. That's it, I am looking for a new dispensary. Also, there is a lot of employee turnover, and not many of them are well trained to advise you, another disappointment.
Love the mom & pop pharmacy vibe this place has. The sales floor is open, like an apple store, for customers to grab themselves. I love that you're able to open the containers & smell the flower to choose which one it is you want to buy. I hate the times when I buy flower based on the name & then the terpenes don't even smell as I would've liked. I love this place bc whenever I bring someone new I get a $20 referral. They also have plenty of prizes for points you can collect whenever you make a purchase. Deff my fave in SD!
Really welcoming and very helpful which I appreciated as it was the first time I've been to any type of store like this. New customer discount was sweet, too.Went there for CBD salve for BF's messed up back, left with mints, two salves, flowers, and energy drink for BF to get well soon. Bright and clean, open, and merchandised in upscale fashion, meaning we could have been shopping at Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom from all appearances. Will definitely be stopping by again.
This place was professional and clean. In my opinion, those two observations say a lot about most dispensaries. It helps with it's credibility and if you can trust the general business as a whole. There are definitely locations that are "shady" and you would honestly prefer not to do business there simply out of your own personal safety. Lexus is the person that helped us out and she was very helpful. Very nice and did a solid job.Reminder that this is a cash only business, so come prepared if you'd like to avoid the ATM fees. They have plenty of options and I'm sure you'll be able to find something for you.
This is my favorite place!! I Will not be going anywhere else. Super friendly and a huge variety of product. I highly recommend this establishment
Best place the staff is super nice and helpful and the store is really clean and tons of variety. They give you good referral discounts if you bring guests too. Atm located inside cash only.
Just too expensive for my liking. They have a vast amount of products, not too much flower.
I LOVE this dispensary ! Outstanding customer service from the minute you step in . Friendly knowledgeable bud tenders , Francoise and Sam particularly . Erin at checkout is masterful at finding the best daily deals for you . Senior , veteran and other discounts . Not to mention daily deals & happy hour. Clean , well stocked shelves with top notch product , Covid 19 compliant. What else can I say ? Well , alright , parking lot is small tho there are some spots in the back . And the friendly security gentlemen , (Alex and the other nice man )are there to help if need be . Just the BEST.
My first time going into a dispensary and I had an amazing experience, thank you to my budtender Katrina for helping me feel very welcomed. You were so great at showing me around and answering my questions. I amSo happy with my Bloom Maui wowie vape pen and district edibles gummies. I will be returning soon for the chocolates and coffee lol. Can't wait. Thank you!
Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Besides all the flower available, there is a wide variety of products from salves to mints. Loads of delicious edibles and a favorable range of pre rolls, you wIll not be disappointed here. They offer tea as you browse and have valet considering the limited parking. Even reward point system with awesome benefits! My go to spot for all the reasons. Go in and enjoy what they have to offer!To the Apothekare staff for doing it right the first time
I should've asked who the ladies were on that Friday night. Super helpful! And they have veteran discounts! I am impressed by their knowledge and attention to small details -like how the products would work especially since I'm still pretty new to the scene. Highly recommend to swing by. My only caveat is parking can be very tricky, that's why it's missing a star.
This is the best dispensary I've been to in the San Diego area. Not sure why such a low rating. Maybe it's only my specific items they do well with here? 5 Star Customer Service all the way! My favorite brands. Great specials- I really wish I found them sooner. Would have saved me a pretty penny that's for sure.
A friend of mine suggested this location for a good variety of medical marijuana and cbd products. I've been going to Torrey Holistics normally but because it's a farther drive I decided to check this place out. Super clean and friendly staff! Easy to get in and out. The parking area is small but they offer free valet. My favorite thing about this place is that I can walk around and browse the products like you would at a grocery store, without having to have a staff member get it for you. The variety of products is wide and the different sizes of products allows me to give something a try for a cheaper price before buying the largest size available. Definitely worth checking out
Business hour mess up aside.. I gave this place another shot and have come to love it. The security and health/safety measures are top notch and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Definitely a return customer.. just call to make sure they're open regardless of what their website says.
This is by far my favorite dispensary to go to! They have a huge variety of products from flowers and oil to topicals and great CBD treatments. Oscar has helped me on multiple occasions and has been super helpful and educated and always made it a pleasant experience. I 10/10 recommend this place, best spot in San Diego.
The one time I visited Apothekare i had no experience in the marijuana industry but I would say that none of the staff was helpful in giving me any tips or advice. When I eventually asked someone to help me the staff member didnt seem to know how to help a complete newbie like me. Sho only knew how to help someone who was familiar with weed. In addition to this I happen to work in the building next door to Apothekare and their customers have been illegally parking in our parking lot causing us to not be able to get into work. It's extremely frustrating and unfair. Apothekare needs to do something about both of these issues.
My first visit here was rad. It was right before recreational was legalized, sometime in early December. They hooked my friend and I up with a FTP bag and we got a lot of cool goodies. The staff was super helpful back then. Couple visits after that were okay, selection seemed to be slimming down, I assume to ever changing regulations and having to adhere to them in order to stay in business. Last couple times that I have been here, the selection was skimpy. Maybe I'm spoiled due to being a med patient prior to recreational legalization, but there was such a huge variety to pick from before some of the hipster companies started branding their strains. I understand price bumping up with supply/demand/taxes, but damn. It just feels overpriced; I think I'll try to find another spot or grow my own. Free valet was handy. Otherwise the front parking is limited. Security and staff were always super nice and patient in my experience. ATM was down at least three times I have been in, and I either had to wait around for them to refill it, or leave and get cash elsewhere. I'm just kinda over it. It felt glorious my first visit but these last couple times have been super lackluster. I'll try again in a few months.
Used to like this place. I went to the Convoy location for a few years and then was just as shocked as everyone else when, completely unannounced they sold it.Started using the new location and at first it was like a mini version of the original store, which was a bonus. It was never overly crowded, prices were average based on window shopping comparison.Then the selection started getting smaller and more specific. It's not that the products aren't good, it's just that there seems to be a grand total of about 10 different total strains no matter the manufacturer. They can't decide if they still want to pretend you're a patient or go full recreational.You still have to deal with a man-trap to get into or out of the facility, still need to use a bag. Other places which are much more in the public eye are not doing this. You can walk in and out, no bag needed, no man-trap song and dance.Why even bother with this locations hoopla?
I came here for the first time on Valentines Day! My husband has come by himself a couple of times and I was really interested in experiencing it for myself. The store actually looks like a high end boutique. A waiting room and a receptionist who rings you in, very fancy!It was my first time there so I signed up for their loyalty membership, where I received 20% off my first purchase, score for my husband on that. What's cool is that there are so many great products throughout the store and everything is displayed beautifully and it's not just nuggets of weed, there are edibles, oils, hair products, bath bombs you name it they probably have it. I was really interested in the dog treats, my dogs have really bad anxiety and joint issues so next time I'm I think I'll be purchasing a treat or two. I did end up getting an edible from Mind Tricks, the Bonfire S'Mores. These are so good I wanted to eat more but you definitely can't. My husband actually knows the owners of Sweetbricks the gals who helped concoct these delicious morsels, I'm always glad to support local businesses!Price points were great especially with the discount so make sure to sign up before you shop! Definitely coming back here, the store is pristine and customer service is just really friendly! If you're a returning customer don't forget to bring back your little plastic envelope for your purchase!
Great store. Competitive prices, good selection and quality. Staff is always friendly and very helpful. Definitely my favorite shop in the city!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! I needed assistance with product for my dog and the gentleman who assisted me was great! I will definitely be back!
Apothekare used to be up the street from my home on Convoy but they moved to Mission Valley. Still a great shop. The parking is super tight so beware. They have a great selection of products and staff is always super helpful and will take their time with you. Prices on products with high taxes now are pretty high and their products all have way too much packaging but that's the way things are now. It's not the stores fault. I give 5 stars for selection and the staff helpful and friendliness!
Great newcomer deals and no crazy waiting times. Made out with 4 eights for 90 bucks! Friendly staff, easy to find location. Recommended for those who doesn't enjoy the hugs-ass crowds at some of the more popular spots.
I give this place a solid 8 perfect score and the selection of products and the are excellent plus the professionalism of the young service personnel and the info for product knowledge it is above the standards= I don't mean to ever leave much insult on website so if a comment is taken out of step then grow up and fight and win the war as the battle is long = enjoy your space and time -
Since my review didn't go through before Football season, let's start by saying I appreciate Apothekare for having football playing in the lobby for the Boss Man security and customers. I've been coming to this place since they opened and bring my family here when they visit from Washington. The whole staff is amazing every time I go in it's always been love! Always have fresh products and knowledgeable staff to help you out if needed, just an all around great shop! Keep it up Apothekare gang!
Love this store. It has everything I need in a dispensary. The staff is very helpful and always knowledgeable, whether it's CBD, THC or both.
Super nice-looking and fancy atmosphere, but that reflects in the prices. Very limited selection of flower, and the one I went home with, which was recommended by an employee, was super dry when I got it home. For the prices they charge, their product quality is terrible! I thought the employees were really nice and helpful when I left the store, but now I feel swindled! March and ash is only up the street, so if I have to shop in this area again, that's where I'll be going!
Hate how far this place is compared to the old spot that Medmen now occupies. Sick of them asking every single time first time here ? Even when I blurt out I'm returning, they still ask. Never have what I want. I only like one product and for a month now constantly do not have. No parking, they have a parking attendant but I don't like doing that. Overall this place is just a shadow of its former self and they were on convoy. Today was the last straw a month making this trip and not having what I want.
Price hike. They got rid of their happy hour after the prices went up by over 20%. Implemented some crappy points system. iPad to get your points had a dead battery and the other one wasn't working. Save your money and go somewhere else.
More like Apote-don't-kare. This place used to be my go to. However, since the end of The Great Prohibition, they've gone down hill. Lost the Convoy location and got rid of their buy 1 get 1 half off Happy Hours so there's really no reason to come here anymore. They also got rid of their budtendters so nobody will help you should you have any questions. But that's also a good thing because you don't need to wait for a budtender to look at items. Just help yourself to whatever you want and check out. I go to Urban Leaf now. You may wait a little longer but they have a wider selection and is more like how this place used to be....Bottom line: Come here if you know what you want and like paying high prices for bad service
We absolutely love this store. 1. The place reminds me a little of an Apple store, and is very calm, clean, and organized.2. They are VERY helpful.3. They have a bonus program for repeat customers.===Cash Only - might be the only negative, but that's very common here
Go there for for my son who has PTSD... need to look for another place... last 2 times there very scimpy... and what they did have was so pricey... not good... very disappointed!
I was disappointed to find out that this location doesn't honor the cards or coupons from the Convoy location, but it is what it is. Cash only with an ATM on-site that charges $3 for a withdrawal. Was kind of surprised by this since the first Apothekare I visited started taking card before the location was bought by Med Men. Come prepared with cash.Prices have gone up over time and the products they carry have changed. I used to buy the Potters and FlavRX brand cartridges, which were around $25-35, but they mostly sell gram carts now or brands that do half grams at $40 a piece. I can deal, since that's just the direction the industry has gone.I will say that whoever chooses the stock picks out quality products. I've never taken home something I didn't like, whether it was a lotion, balm, edible, or cartridge. Can't speak much to the bud, but I will say that I've seen better presentation of product. Considering the volume of products they carry, I'd say the bud is almost an afterthought product. So take that with a grain of salt, knowing I'm not that interested in it myself. There's usually a 20ish minute wait on any given evening, which is when I tend to go. Take that into consideration.
First successful mobile order for recreational use.Delivery was accurate, friendly, on time.Packaging gets a thumbs down... I'm disappointed our herbal heros are allowing so much plastic packaging. Flowers were ok. Not special, but not bad at all. Weight was exactly on point. Pricey, but taxes make everything pricey...so not the fault of these guys.
I am glad they offer free Valet parking but there are still so many customers who park in the business parking lots nearby and they are actually harming those businesses. Now that the street has been resurfaced with a full bike-lane painted, street parking is no longer allowed now either. I hope the owner has a contingency plan and I really wish he would remind customers NOT to park next door! We are small business owners and something like this can ruin us.If you are a patron, please take up the offer for free Valet and do not try to park in another parking lot - even if just for a "few minutes" - because many of these local businesses are by appointment only and those "few minutes" eat into our appointment times.Thank you.
Probably the classiest dispensary I've been to. I'm from LA, so a lot of the dispensaries look like dungeons that are hidden in some alley way. But this dispensary was so clean; light and bright when you walk in. The prices are pretty reasonable, I got 20% for being my first time, I just had to type in my number on this iPad thing. Employees are very knowledgeable and cashiers are cool! Lex helped me out and as she was so chill and pretty sweet; this place got nice vibes. Definitely going back when I head down.
"Put your nose in the air like you just don't care." Service is a bit condescending. Security is feral and yells if he missed you on the way in. It would be nice if the "valet" sign were visible from the street. Prices are on the higher level of price setting. But the location is convenient and the wait time wasn't long.
I went to Apothekare for the first time today, definitely the cleanest dispensary in the area. To compare this to the little hole in the wall just east of this location would be like comparing Walmart to Macy's. Very, very nice store with so many different products I had to get a little of each! Even the staff were professional in appearance and not have the typical "lazy pothead look" as you will see in other locations near by. It was nice to browse and not be rushed. I didn't have to peek through 20 other people to see a product. Everything was laid out wonderfully and staff were available for questions. Any negative reviews of this dispensary are clearly from the competitors because this place is on point. Also, first timer gets 20% off! Great deal!
Really nice people that are informative but aren't pushy. Prices are decent- sigh up so you get text alerts on BOGO deals and what not. My fav place to go :)
So I wasn't sure at first because of the location, but was pleasantly surprised once inside. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, the selection is high quality, and everyone seemed to genuinely want to be working. Haha sounds crazy but each time I've gone, the people working genuinely take the time to answer questions instead of just agreeing to everything to make a bigger sale. The constant genuinely and clean atmosphere will keep me coming back into the new year, thank you!!
This dispensary is pretty awesome. It is right off Camino Del Rio South and the outside looks older. Once you enter, the inside is super modern and well organized. They have a security guard that scans you for any metal objects. Then you show your ID to the front desk person and then you can enter. You can also sign up for a point system and you get 20% off your first visit! The display of all their products are organized and displayed beautifully. The prices for most of the products is a bit pricey. I got some edible rainbow belts for $12 each. The rainbow belts are 100 mg per bag. There is a 15% excise tax on top of the price. The 20% off definitely helped! The workers here are super helpful and knowledgeable. They only accept cash, but there is an ATM inside! I enjoyed my first visit here and will definitely be coming back!
Man best dp in daygo! Got all the best deals and weed and The guy Ace that works there will for sure hook you up. He did a great job and showed me the best flower to get! Always gonna comeBack!
This place rocks! You can tell it's an upscale place as soon as you walk into the beautiful waiting room. Reception is super friendly, and there are a bunch of budtenders on the floor to help you pick out products. I especially like this store because it's self-service and they don't have all the products behind the counter like most other shops. Check out Heavy Hitters while you're there, they have a nice selection of the disposable vape pens and they're at a great price! Say hi to Joe and Summer while you're there, they're super helpful!
Really like this place. It's like walking into the Bloomingdales of dispensaries. Most places I walk into feels like you're going to get robbed by the staff whereas this places is super clean. Prices weren't half bad either.
Wouldn't recommend due to security. I'm a normal there, know what I want and get out. Showed up tonight at 8:54pm and was told they were closed. First time that's happened, and it was the security guard that made me want to write this post. Buds are on point, but security could be a little more understanding of business hours, unless Apothekare has started to instruct security to start closing early.
Hahaha...! This place is a joke. They offer a buy one get one half off BUT THEY RAISE THE PRICE OF THE FIRST ITEM if you take them up on this 'sale'. Let me elaborate; an 1/8 was $42 but if I wanted the buy one get one half off they said the first 1/8 will be $50 and so $25 for the 2nd. This makes no sense and because of this they've lost 8 customers in one phone call. These guys are greedy and the customer service is as novice as a summer ice cream job at camp.
Though the dispensary has all the qualities of a great dispensary on the outside....like everything else "it's what on the inside that counts". My first experience at Apothekare was pretty decent...they had reasonably priced items and their staff seemed to be "decently" helpful. However my next couple of visits were less pleasing... rude employees, who seem clueless and bothered, (I called to inquire about a special they were having that day...the person helping me hung up on me mid statement!) and they have overly priced products. To me not worth it....I'll spend my money on my treats elsewhere!
This place is always out of exactly what I need. Can you guys get it together? Also rude service at best.
Man, what a fall from grace! This place when on convoy was the best deal in town with the happy hour, so I put up with the crowds and BS. The happy hour is gone now and so am I. $74 for a heavy hitters cart when it used to be $45. No way in hell I'm paying that!
I like the vibe. Staff is friendly and helpful. A little pricey but they always have what I need. Rewards program is pretty cool.
Favorite dispensary. For me, the move to mission valley is more convenient & easy to get to. The budtenders are always helpful, knowledgeable & nice. Security is super friendly & they have valet. I also like that I can look online to see their stock. They always have my favorites in stock & do 20% off for military. They are definitely my go to! Keep up the great work Apothekare!
This Dispensary is one of my favorites in San Diego. It's clean and super organized which makes it headache free when looking for certain products. On top of that the people that work here are seriously so friendly that make this atmosphere glow and make me feel welcome and not rushed!
Super friendly knowledgeable staff! Everything was neat and clean, and had a variety of products They even offered a 20% discount for first time visitors
They do not honor there deals with first time purchase discounts. They're very misleading. First time buyers get 20% off but only if you buy there top shelf and nothing on discount. I go to mankind dispensary regularly and I have never had an issue they will honor what you've earned and apply whenever you ask. Apothekare needs to take better care of the customers.
They lied. I went there for CBD oil to manage pain. I told them SEVERAL time that my Drs. gave me approval to try this as long as it did not contain any ingredient that could effect my balance. First of all, what they sold me stunk to high heaven and it did contain a lot of something called THC. That is exactly what I was not supposed to have. Since I haven never used pot, etc., I did not not know what I was doing. My bad. Since then I have found another source. Nothing like the first. Tastes lighter, and the person who helped me was really knowledgeable. (I will post for them later). My new place takes Credit Cards (website says not, but that is because they do not take cards for low priced items like wrappers).
This store is just beautiful and so clean! They offer free valet which is great cause the parking lot is really small.There's never really a wait to get inside the dispensary and once you get inside, it's a lot like a boutique. You can shop at your own leisure but there are staff members walking around to assist if needed.They carry a wide variety of products but my favorite is the Heavy Hitters! They occasionally sell out but more often than not, they have a nice variety to choose from! I've seen the rep in here quite often running specials on the carts where i can get 3 for the price of 2!Keep up the amazing work, Apothekare!
All products are out in the open. Lots of light and windows. Will be making this a regular shop. Best yet is it's not gonna get shut down like all these other dispensaries.
They had no drinks and only one strain of flower for sale. Only edibles were choc n mints. Disappointed because I was looking forward to jars of flowers to see/smell. They had cbd dog biscuits and $3 glass pipes tho. :/
This is the best, most relaxing dispensary in my opinion. Although I have only been to the Convoy one, from the website the pictures of the Mission Valley store it looks just as awesome. Looking forward to visiting it!!
So this is my first time buying their 1/4 deal for 45$ and they short me 1 gram. I can see why they have it all packed up and ready for u in their drawer. They don't want to weigh it out in front of you becuz they skimp the bags. False advertisement. Smh even tho the girls that work there is fine as fuck, I'm NEVER going back there. Doochebags just lost a good customer
This place tricked me into coming down to their store... stating BOGO on the entire store. Turns out they put all their good product away and left out nothing but stuff they probably couldn't sell.. mid grade gorilla glue and some other boof. I personally don't give a fuck about a sale.. where the hell is the good flower?! Don't trick people on coming in... this is the last time I will go here. Smh...
Service was fast and efficient, selection was better than the other dispensary nearby. Best of all, prices were better than the other dispensary, too. The one with the best prices is the one that I will go back to. They have so many oils, edibles, etc. and it is so fun. Bring plenty of cash, because you will find many things you want. Like a kid in a candy store. Parking in the small lot is a bit funky, but there is parking on the street or valet parking. They give a new customer/ first time discount, as well as a senior discount of 20%.
My favorite spot. Friendliest service. Everyone there is ways eager to help me find exactly what i'm looking for. There is a wide range of products and an appealing atmosphere.
This place has a cool vibe. Very clean and the employees are very layback and helpful. Thank you guys for a awesome experience. They also have a big selection compared to other places I've been too and you can open jars and smell the herbs without someone pressuring you. Nice job guys
Very disappointing. First let me point out this is my first negative review, I am so disappointed that I feel compelled to say something instead of just taking my business elsewhere. They got some things right at least, parking lot is small so they offer free valet- nice. The lighting was very harsh and difficult for me but I have a seizure disorder so I run into that wherever LED lights are, so fine, that's just me. The shop is clean, classy, and the service was excellent. So where is my negative? The product! They have lots of over priced processed products that were fine. The edibles were good, the CBD oil was fine, I bought a vape to try that was awful, chemically and really harsh to smoke but hey just not my thing I think, so fine. So where was the big miss? Their cannabis! Shouldn't that be the main thing they have to get right? It was dried out, ineffective and unsmokeable. It reminded me of crap weed a teenager would get in the 80's. It had a lot of stems, and was completely dried out. Think buying fresh basil from a farmers market compared to buying dried jarred basil at the grocery store. Not the same thing at all is it? That is what they sell. Dried out jars of harsh smoking stemmy impotent buds. I would think a dispensary would at least be able to get cannabis right. I might stop by for more CBD oil or edibles at some point but I suggest no one waste their time or money getting their bud there, not when there is fresh sticky potent herb available at every other dispensary.
I used their delivery service and it was pretty fast and they kept in contact throughout the process. Right now they look like there is not much product available due to the Jul 1 regulations, but I will use them again once they stock up.
Parking is awful and they have most spots reserved for valet. Seriously? Valet at a dispensary?
Stopped by around 11:30am on a Tuesday. Parked in front, no line, no waiting. This was my first time and I wanted to talk with someone because I wanted a little tour of the store. Great experience! I selected items based on being new and was given the royal treatment. Really made me feel good about my choice and options. Thank you!
What amazing staff. This place has the best flower in San Diego!
My dilemma is I have a ton of loyalty points from this Mission Valley location. It's the closest location to me so I have shopped at it quite a bit. But what are you to do when you'd rather give up the points than go in and get treated badly again. The problem is either management or ownership has checked out. It was obvious when the marketing emails and text messages stopped a few weeks back. But it's familiar so let's keep supporting them. And then the staff they brought in for the holidays are just not committed. They are completely out of sativa or any sativa hybrid flower this morning. But to get that knowledge you have to ask three very soulless, "not ready to be there"employees working early on a holiday morning. I get it you don't want to be at work on a holiday morning. Wasn't our best experience either. But hey.... "MedMen" that you sarcastically said we should go to this morning..... treated us very well. They were helpful and kind. Thank you for the suggestion.
Ordered online delivery about thirty minutes later. Great service!
Alexis was amazing, she helped me pick out a strain and edibles, I was highly satisfied with her service, hope to see her soon!
I've been to a few different dispensaries here and I keep coming back to Apothekare. Nice atmosphere, big, clean store. I like that you can walk around and look at the different products without being forced to use a budtender. But there is always someone nearby happy and willing to answer questions and provide recommendations and they always seems really knowledgeable about the available product. The prices are reasonable and every time I've come I am happy with my choices. I've gotten fresh flower that tastes and smells great. I won't be going anywhere else but here from now on.
I'm sick of this security guard INTENTIONALLY saying "have a good day ladies" to myself and my transgender partner. Today it was my partner, and my friend, (both trans) who both have facial hair and wear men's clothing, This place is NOT LGBT friendly, take your business anywhere else.
This might be my favorite dispensary! Went here Sunday during happy hour and stocked up for a great price. Best promotions and customer service. I wish the parking was better but they do have someone directing during busy days
Website is bullshit. Everytime i went to check out my promo code disappeared and it charges full price. Contacted customer service and he told me to change my browser or go find a computer and i feel like that's a lot of work for something supposedly easy. He gave me no help. And why do they need all that access to your bank account?! I'm just trying to pay with my debit card not sign into my bank for y'all. In my opinion find another delivery service doesn't seem like they want your money anyways. This was my first and last experience with this company.
Being a long time customer at apothecare (the business before the buyout) seeing this place go downhill so quickly is sad. Rude sales personnel and a unknowledgeable staff turned this place from the friendly place to be to a nightmare to walk into. Just isn't the same. Plenty of rec shops in San Diego. Shop elsewhere.
I love this place! It is knowledgeable and authentic every time since they've been open. I highly recommend it.#puffpuffpass
Expensive. Very limited selection. Weird parking. There are so so so many options in San Diego, just pick another place.
Found this place by looking for a new brand I'm into called Mendo Trees. I honestly thought there was gonna be a huge markup after tax but the prices here are the best I've seen in town for weight. I left here with probably the best deal on an oz that I've ever come across for quality flower. The sales guy even saw me kinda lost and ended up saving me extra money for the same brand I wanted bc of their in store deal. HOMIE move.This was also the fastest dispensary registration that I've gone through and the entire staff was super friendly. They also have some kinda rewards program, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that adds up after a few visits. This is my new go to dispensary.
Long story short, I've ordered a million times from this place and they magically won't let me order anymore without giving me reason. Highly inconvenient
The best budtenders in the game and a pretty great selection! I got the Pure Beauty mini preroll pack and it did not disappoint!
Ms. Bree (Doll Face ?) was extremely pleasant and made me feel welcomed! The two homies at the front of the store (their names I didn’t catch) were hilarious and made the visit feel like a bunch of friends sharing a bowl. The ONLY dispensary I’ll visit in SD!
A very nice shop! I really like that it's a hands on store where you can read the labels. A fairly limited selection is offset by some truly kind and knowledgeable tenders. BTW... BOGO 50% happens a couple times a week and excise tax is included in price. Thanks Apothekare!
There was a really short latina girl with the most incredible smile who showed us around and really schooled us on the different ways to smoke and tolerance levels. Invited us to 420 party at the location. I missed going but on 420 I smoked one for her and the older security guard out front who had a great conversation with me was cool. I think this is one of the only places with real quality outside downtown.
Very poor shopping experience. I didn’t even buy because of their business model. All the employees were behind the glass as clerks. Zero salesmen. I’d recommend having a least one person on the floor at all times to help people know what the deals are and what to buy. I’ll never return to this dispensary again.
Great deals. Sunday has a Buy one, get one half off deal for anything in the store of the same value. The best part for me is I can just go directly to the shelf were my product is and pick it myself. Then just bring it to the cashier counter to make my purchase. It saves so much time, and avoids unnecessary interactions. Great store! The selection is quite nice as well.
