Best weed dispensaries in Santa Cruz, California with authentic reviews

Staff were very helpful and friendly. I didn’t realize I had ordered cbd flower. Upon arriving the person working double checked if that’s what I wanted. It wasn’t. I went with their recommendation (Trop Cherry). Hands down owe them a huge thank you!

My number 1 dispensary - worth the 30 minute drive! Wide ranging selection of excellent quality flower. Dee or Minion usually help me and both are fantastic; very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Great rewards program; it seems like every time I go there I get a discount on my purchases. Can’t say enough good things about this shop.

Always a friendly, laidback back atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for more helpful, delightful experience

They have the best stuff for great prices and they have birthday discounts!

Very helpful staff and great selection of options! Also very good prices for the area.

Mel and the crew are the best. Best selection, prices etc. Good smoke shop

I was freaking out about getting my order but the employees kept in touch and helped me out big time! Couldn’t be more thankful for all there help! they were all super sweet! 10/10

Great dispensary!!! The product selection is top-notch, with a wide variety of strains, edibles, and concentrates. Pricing is great with lots of sale strains monthly. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. HIGHLY recommend stopping in!!!!!

We shop here often and always have a great experience. Afton has assisted twice. She’s a dynamic bud tender, always super helpful & knowledgeable. Every bud tender here is at the top of his:her game. Highly recommend

LOVE THEM!! picked up some dank flower and the service here is wonderful, wish y’all had the Left Coast Extracts pods, been hearing a lot of good things about them. 

Great shop, great vibes. I've been to quite a few dispensaries, and this one stands out for the layout of the shop. Very few shops let you wander around and actually pick up a product like you're at the supermarket, meaning it's usually confined behind glass and you need one-on-one help with a tender, but here you can browse at your leisure. I usually research online for what I want beforehand, so I can't attested to their knowledge of product, but they always have new product and cultivars that I want to try. yes, they can get crowded, so it's best to go during off-hours, so you don't feel rushed, but kudos for trusting the customers with being able to touch the product. Also, since it's inevitable that a person will open something, check to see if it's been opened. One last note; taxes are high in Slo, so expect that. I've read about high taxes in other reviews, but that is something that should be taken up with local gov and not the business itself. Everything on the Central Coast is expensive, but the prices before taxes are competitive. I know because I research what others are charging from here all the way down to Lompoc. It's true you won't get many "deals" though.

So excited about this new dispensary. It’s 2 cities away from me but add it to our monthly shopping foray into Goleta. Worth it! Can’t wait for a smoke room sometime in the future.

I’m new to LA and I must say this is one of my favorite spots off top ranking. The customer service is excellent the quality has done me GREAT! I am considering becoming a regular

Best place in Roseburg. I got the lemonatti which was very skunky and heavy on the eyelids. I enjoy small talk and advice on cannabis strands.

Absolutely better than anything in phoenix. I use tincture or RSO for my condition and I found my new source here. Coming from Phoenix I’ve been using Drip for years. I would never buy that brand again. The Mary's Medicinals The Remedy THC .44oz Tincture is so much better. The taste is amazing and the effects actually work now. I will definitely be stopping here from now on. Thank you!

Very clean and professional store. The customer service was friendly and welcoming. The selection of Smokiez was the best I've seen yet compared to other stores. Definitely will be returning.

they do good business In and out if you need to be, but traditionally welcoming environment if you haven't a clue your freedom to make an informed decision is more to less, respected and won't directly inconvenience anybody like you know you've delt with at other dispensaries that who's name I will not mention.

Sabian was my budtender and he was a very comforting presence and person to shop with. Brought the purchasing of my weed to a good vibe and chill person.

I find Embarc to be one of the most affordable store compared to their competitors. Both fresh locations have great, friendly staff.

Great experience and products. Will definitely order again. Got my order in under 30 minutes

Always on the Ball.. Great People who will point you to the right product..As a Passport Club member the Deals are Outstanding.. Location, Location...

This was my first time purchasing from a dispensary, so I was kinda awkward. Despite this, everyone there was super nice! At first you’ve gotta check in with proof you’re 21+, then after that you head in. They were incredibly helpful and kind, and I feel bad for seeming in a rush. Definitely worth the visit!

10/10 experience every time I stop in. They have items priced appropriately for the value with much higher quality for said items than you'd find elsewhere... $10 for 1g of ORGANICALLY GROWN live resin dabs? $69 ounces? You can't beat it! Plus they're locally owned and operated, got to meet the owner Ed and he was super helpful! Won't shop anywhere else!
