I've been an AGA customer for a year or two, ordering (mostly) delivery once or twice a month for two ppl on a budget. I can always, always count on AGA to have amazing prices on good ol flower, but what really keeps me coming back is the customer service and the fact that they accept cards on deliveries (I don't mind them having to round up, you get the change back, so idc). Whether I'm there in person, or on the phone, or texting, or getting my delivery, everyyy single person I've ever spoken to has left me with a smile- especially my favorite delivery driver, Anthony. He always keeps me updated on my order, he pays attention to detail (he actually reads the delivery notes), and he's super kind and patient when I need to redo my signature or I get my pin wrong lol Getting flower delivered and being able to pay for it with my card is a dream. Throw Anthony in as a driver, and I can't ask for anything else (that AGA can control, that is, lol). Delivery is usually pretty quick, too, within an hour or two, but use your noggin and have some damn patience if it's peak hours or holidays. Smoke a bowl and chill. It'll get to you. Oh, and ask about their happy hour :) read more

First stop for cannabis entering back from Mexico, unfortunately the security are just unfriendly I get they need to put that impression but yikes. Very bad first entrance and impression for the business. Kind of awkward to have everyone who is banned on a wall with their information and reason, kind of seems like their just slandering peoples name to the public. Some of the reasons were because they have an attitude? Like what lmfao? Maybe put that on the wall beyond the locked gate if the guards really need to have it visible. Another terrible feeling while entering the dispensary. For the pot I got some Cru and Fiore cannabis , first time trying fiore but familiar with cru from the Coachella valley dispensary. I let Adrian help choose the fiore brand and he chose truffle butter which is fire. Adrian and the greeting lady short a bit shorter with melanin they seemed to be the only happy ones there everyone seemed too stoned or xaned out to show hospitality. Besides that it was a great selection of flower and other choices at a reasonable price. I recommend Adrian as your budtender very nice and talkative was able to get me in and out without any of the hassle pushing some shit I don't want on me. I'd give this place a one star solely but Adrian and the selection of pot were pleasant. So extra star for that. I'd really give this place a four maybe even a five but the hospitality is big yikes. read more

Since the change in ownership the dispensarie is not as good as it was ,service is still good product selection is not as good as it was .

Best Dispensary in town. Staff is very professional and polite. The drivers are amazing and friendly.

Honestly, my order had some issues, dispatch called and had to do some changes due to inventory on an ordering platform that didn't match stock. Also, some price changes that I wasn't expecting. I wasn't compensated either, but I qualified for an ftp deal and got 30% off. The price changes took me over my budget by a dollar. Which took away my ability to tip the driver, Anthony, so instead, I took time out of my day to leave a review. All in all I paid a great price for a delivery and was communicated with the entire time. I was made aware of all charges before I accepted the order. read more

The employees are so knowledge, helpful, and educated about the products. They are the reason I return. The management on the other hand- I believe he's male- because only a man could take the brand they had and destroy it. This was one of the FIRST legal retail outlets for this niche product in SD. As a college grad, and doctor of my field- and now working professional I would like to think I could come to a place that was known for its brand, professionalism and discreetness. I don't shop for a single pre roll at a time like many do on main st in Chula Vista. I don't need the CBD and DISPENSARY signs to let me know where it is. What's next big floppy car dealership floppy men? Why compete with illegal retailers when you have the keys to the kingdom. Makes no sense- yes it cost most for customers the other way, but now you have attracted the bottom of the barrel customers that tarnish your brand and make your regulars uncomfortable. Management has driven your higher end clientele who spend real money North. And if you think taking back credit cards for purchases over $70 will fix things, you actually made them worse. ** CHECK OUT HIS RESPONSE BELOW. Check out all his responses. This guy can't handle criticism. Classic response.... the poor employees have to work for this guy. The good part? They can read this all..... But I'm sure they already know. read more

A Green Alternative - A veiled threat from the manager about wanting to "face to face" - What kind of manager threatens a customer? - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - San Diego, California

Just based off the customer service of a person named "Zach". Contacted and asked about the legalization and when they will not require a doctor's rec(mine expired and felt no need to renew since the prop passed. Saw online that this location was listed as a "Recreational" marijuana storefront. When asking was told it was not till next year and before I could explain that online has false information the guy hangs up on me. Might contact local legislation and have them research this location as online shows it is and no taxes has been posted and I know locations are selling and pocketing the "tax" they charge. First off horrible customer service and information. Not likely to recommend this location solely on customer service. No room for rude associates to push potential clients/patients away. read more

A Green Alternative - Shows this location to be a "recreation" marijuana dispensary, not even close and rude too boot. - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - San Diego, California

Today I wasn't able to drive down to pickup my supply. I picked up the phone and had my order delivered. Let me tell you about how awesome Pablo and the delivery team is: ordered was placed and delivered within a 90m time frame. Super easy to communicate with and dedicated beyond what is expected. It's also super important to express that they had what I wanted in stock, very cool. I 100% recommend AGA and if you need delivery, ask for Pablo. Thank you AGA for being the best dispensary in the Southbay! read more

Stopped ordering due concentrate being melted and opened ...was asked to give other chance. Placed order got call "WE ONLY HAVE 1 DRIVER SO NOT GOING TO DELIVER " ***order somewhere else unless you like the drama*** read more

My go to place for years now! Prices are best and selection is always fully stocked and changing. Delivery is very convenient; Anthony is super helpful for deliveries. read more

This is the most unprofessional joke of a dispensary I've ever come across. The bud tender was a moron. I had to repeat my name seven times and he still got it wrong. Then the person I get transferred to tells me he needs me to hold my license next to my face and take a picture and send it to him which was fine even though most places don't do that but then he wanted a piece of mail of where I wanted the delivery to go to with me standing next to it and to send a picture. Absolutely ridiculous. Was not worth the FTP to go through all that headache just to get some marijuana. Absolute joke of a place! read more

I don't like traveling by bus and don't have a car so it's a great option (esp in the a.m. because it's usually quicker) if you want to chill and get your order brought to you plus the delivery service is affordable ($2). The customer service is great and always makes sure your order is accurate. Anthony brought my order this time and helped me pick a option that was good and fit my budget when I called to ask about discounts and pricing ( it's hard to explain but there is something special about people who can hear what you are saying and help make arrangements that work Anthony today and even Alexa who also ran her knowledge of the menu yesterday to help me try and complete my order are prime examples of these unique personalities that make life such skilled and capable thing). Basically it's a great business with a lot of wonderful people and excellent marijuana items, personally I think they are the best. read more

I order weed, prepare the munchies, ready to go, then sit here for almost 2 hours and they call to tell me the web site is messed up and "can we reschedule for tomorrow?" NO YOU CAN'T! I'm pissed off with no weed NOW. Totally amateur operation. read more

I love the Green Alternative and Anthony is one of the coolest drivers ever, I get delivery all the time and they make it so easy.

I love this place! I have been ordering delivery since my car is getting worked on and it's never too expensive like other shops... and plus the early bird discount just adds on to that help. They have so many gelato carts to chose from! I am always able to conveniently order my items and they always get here super fast! Anthony is an awesome delivery driver!! I love getting the personalized texts from him that they are on the way, he is so nice an is always down to help with any questions or concerns. I also love the phone calls from Pablo confirming my order. I am always spoken to like as if I'm family. read more

I've been a customer since AGA opened. With the exception of one delivery driver I find staff polite and knowledgeable. The driver at issue parked in the MIDDLE of the street (not even at the curb) and became upset when I told him if he did not park properly I would cancel the order. I am a professional (attorney) as are all others (pilots, military officers, etc.) Doing transactions in the middle of the street is NOT appropriate. I get deliveries but the times I have gone to the store security was very friendly to me. As a senior citizen the 25% discount is great! I recommend weekday mornings as that is when Pablo works. Pablo explained to me that new customers only must take a selfie with their ID because the bad guys were using someone else's ID to set up a delivery then robbing the driver. So as usual the jackasses have made it more difficult for legit customers! read more

Don't buy from here I just waited 3 hrs for expired flower !! If you see a sale or discount I rather not buy it !! Just shop else where they are pushing old product to benefit so scandalous of this company! read more

Currently in a 20 minute wait for a pickup order i placed almost 2 hours ago. Four people have been let in before me.

Love this place, reviewer below me sounds entitled, staff are always kind and ready to help you pick out good flower if you need it. Never had an attitude problem either, wait times have been long sometimes but they always let you know! Businesses are run by human beings, if the storefront is busy it makes sense they'd be low on drivers. Have some compassion people be grateful you can buy weed in California for good prices. read more

Great discount on 1st delivery, great weed, good variety and value, super nice people working there, quick delivery, and well the best club i found since I left the bay area! read more

I have been a long time customer and this was my go to place, now with them charging more for everything much cheaper places to go. Stay away from here and spend somewhere else read more

Been here about three times. Like they say , third time is a charm! The last time I was there, One of the security guards was questioning my ID (keep in mind I have a Military dependent ID) with another coworker of his. He took my ID with him and like 5 mins later he comes telling me that my ID is expired, & I said that's impossible because it clearly says it expires in December 2022. As I tried to take my ID back to show him the date, he held on to it firmly so I couldn't take it back. I'm not the only one that he's questioned before! And also the workers there are rude as hell & don't even greet you. They say that they give military discount but yet you can't use your discount on certain items? Like wth?? Anyways. Not even March & Ash has ever questioned me or my ID & you're in & out of there. Never bringing my money here again! read more

5 YELP STARS for being the first to open legal medical marijuana facility. Many of my friends who use medicinal marijuana have prayed for this day to finally arrive. A legitimate SDSU professor owns the business and he followed all the various city demands and requirements to the letter. People who utilize services like this should be thanking their lucky stars that a legal dispensary is now open and available for them instead of complaining about the location. I will gladly drive down to buy some medical brownies to thank this place for getting it together and being a great example of how a medicinal businesses are just like any other business and not some druggie hothouse that will ruin everything else around it! read more

We love this place and my spouse stops often for basics. Today I needed to go in and ask questions (had spouse drive since the last time I tried to find it by myself, I would up crossing the border by accident with no passport with me). Young lady who helped me was SUPER nice and knew exactly what I needed for pain relief for some pretty serious knee issues. Was in and out in ten minutes. Yes there's a wait if you go during happy hour or on a busy day on the weekends. Be patient. It's like any other place you go to (be it a restaurant or shopping)...you might have a wait or you might not. The staff is really nice and they are well stocked. We've been going to A Green Alternative since it opened and we've never been disappointed. read more

Security guard is not wearing a mask and he stands close to you while talking. Why they allow this is beyond me. Please make him wear a mask. This is unsafe. read more

Buyer beware! Prices at this place are out of control. Now on third owner i guess they figure why not charge 30% more then anywhere else. No specials for spending any amount. Nothing you cant get 10-20 dollars cheeper in eastlake Also don't expect any deals. read more

So the manager Donna reached out to me after my review was discovered and she went above and beyond to make this right. She replaced my product and went as far as taking the date and time I called to make sure the employee who spoke to me was counseled on A Green Alternatives expectations for outstanding customer service. Now I'm all set up and good to go! Thank you Donna! read more

The staff except the drivers are sooo rude omgggg.!!!! I have only called and got the most rude staff every time, I made an order almost 2 hours ago to get a confirmation and then now another hour until the delivery is to even come and I the price was changed when the staff member called me to finally confirm at first it say 105 changed to 110 I am shocked because the price had never been different then the online price I am like wtf are these people Trying to pull. It's like if your going to take forever to deliver and confirm the order then at least have a better attitude it wouldn't be so horrible waiting for people that are actually nice it's like thank u for the drivers being nice cause otherwise I would cancel my order hopefully they can find some nice people I get it no one wants to work anymore but it should be the policy to sound like your smiling. You guys sell flower like you should be happy it's a happy industry. read more

Called in to see if they took apple pay, they do. I take my time to travel to their store, while checking out, owner disclosed $75 min purchase to pay with card. They should train their Reps to disclose this info before hand, to avoid wasting time. If not - Great selling strategy, disclosing this while ready to pay. Not gonna use a third party ATM, to aid your cash sales. Whats your surcharge 3-5%? I know Clover does not charge more - Id pay for it if they offered to pass the surcharge to me, but that was not an option. In covid times, some people would appreciate easy contactless forms of payments. Wish this place the best, i wll try another place. read more

Great place to get your meds come shop won't be disappointed cheap drug store staff are awesome

I have been going here since day one. The quality is excellent and staff are knowledgeable. I bought some Clones that grew like weeds.
