Michelle - you make these visits so wonderful. You are the light that champions this place for me. I know your attitude is contagious with your team. You greet everyone. You speak about your products with conviction and connect them to personal experiences. I pray that this place treats you the same way you treat their business. I've only been here twice and Michelle helped me both times. I don't want to see anyone else yet I know the rest of the team here is probably just as amazing. Huge kudos to whoever hires These angels. They really care. read more

Authentic 209 - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Modesto, California

BEWARE OF FALSE ADVERTISEMENTS AND NOT ALL THE BUD TENDERS KNOW THE DEALS. Was here yesterday came in got the BOGO for a penny (pods). I was told the deal continues tomorrow 12/23 and the flyer said the same thing. But the photo of the pods were different (disposable) which I didn't catch because the box's are similar and the description says "pods"so I wasted my time and gas coming here. Can't say I won't be back because I probably will but to be told one thing BY A WORKER then another worker says "yeah but see the pictures are different, sorry would you like to get something else?" NO, I CAME FOR THE DEAL THAT NEVER EXISTED. So I'll probably be back but extremely cautious of what they have to say and the flyers they post. read more

Authentic 209 - I was expected to zoom into the picture of the 23rd and just know it was a "disposable" even though it says "pods". - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Modesto, California

My go to spot. I especially appreciate the Security person Mariah. She is always kind. I have never had to wait too long for help. I like supporting this business. read more

Super rude security guards. The products they offered had been sitting so long it was almost expired stuff . It was dry old and it turned brown smells like hay in a glass jar for 40$ leaving the bamboozled feeling deep in my gut I think they ripped me off because I asked them questions they knew I was not a regular customer and they took advantage. Good luck but remember there are like 20 other stores within 20 minutes of this place that have honest customer service and amazing security that helps not harasses customers. read more

Poor customer service from the bud tender with glass and blond hair, I came in last night and I had asked her what they had for rosin tech and her response was " Can you not see the label in the front". When she was checking me out I asked about the deals they have and she said "Did you read the paper with all the deals on it". Maybe you should hire people who actually know what products are sold and the deals. read more

A young manager was very rude to us and every time we go there she makes sure she says rude remarks to us .

Best variety best price prices no taxes. This is definitely the spot. Never had anything but great product from them.

Maybe being open until you are supposed to be open. Got turned around 10 minutes before they closing because they are too packed glad they don't need my money I won't be back. read more

Ricky C and Brianna F, left me thoroughly dissatisfied. The encounter with a bud tender, who directed me to Google for information about a specific strain's classification, reflected a lack of customer-centric service. Their reasoning behind the employees decision is "she's back from vacation". This issue was escalated to a manager named Ashley, as I sought clarification on the strain-related query. It's worth noting that this company operates under the Shryne group. Following my attempt to address the aforementioned concern, I received an email threatening blacklisting if I proceeded with reporting the matter. This heavy-handed response to a legitimate customer concern is both alarming and disappointing. The inconsistent treatment and dismissive attitude towards customer queries, as mentioned in my previous review, were further compounded by the unprofessional threat of blacklisting. Such practices are not only contrary to the principles of good customer service but also cast a shadow on the reputation of the establishment. Ricky informed me to contact him if any additional problems arise, once other individuals became involved, it started to become very unprofessional read more

My favorite dispensary in the Central Valley! Great prices, good people, quick service. You can save your points year round they never expire. I've been going here consistently for 3 years. And I don't plan on taking my business elsewhere. One of the only places you can buy stiiizy pods for less than 30 dollars is all I'm sayin ‍ read more

I am VERY impressed with this dispensary. The security guard appears to be very secure and professional. The inside is very up to date with the style and the decor. Most importantly the variety and options for the customers is very impressive. I have never been a bit user but this place was very impressive with the business. It was more like stepping into a convention center and not a "store". Whoever planned the location, they were on the spot with business sense. Service: A+++ Quality: A+ Price: Average read more

It took 30 minutes to get through the line. They switched out cashiers but did not even bother to lessen the line. I could of just drove to levels and ordered and been home by the time i left this place. Cashier helps drive through orders before us. Haha. Very low selection of flowers. Everything is stizzy product. They also dont have copy of their monthly deals. And the deals they have online are not the same as in store. read more

Update on this place , I favorited it before bt lately I've been getting skipped out the 8ths aren't full 8ths it's only possibly half of that not worth going any longer . Don't go there ! read more

See all

Won't ever be going back here ! Just had a messed up experience i had purchased a Gramlin disposable watermelon lemonade a couple weeks ago and really liked it so i was in the area and stopped to pick up another walked up to the bud tender asked for the gramlins and she pointed right below i looked at the flavors and didn't see the one i wanted but picked one anyway she took it out the case to the register charged me and i was on my way. upon me getting to the car i took the package out of the bag to take a puff and realized it was flower not a disposable i immediately put it back in the bag and returned to the store after waiting around for 30min i was told that they could not exchange it because the bud tender laid it out and because they were in different cases (NOTE: The bud tender let me know she was new when i returned) read more

I accidentally hit recommend, that was a mistake. I'll never go back to this place. They will have 8 people working, and none help you...even when the line is empty. They're all too busy fiddling with shit and chopping it up with each other. Customer service is everything and y'all don't seem to be aware of that. Only leaving this message, because this happens there far too often. Caveat emptor read more

I am very disappointed with this business , I've been a loyal customer for years and to be treated so unwelcome was the final straw for me. For the rude security guard , it's your job to direct those who need to be scanned not mine. Maybe you should stop flirting with every woman who bats an eye your way!! And remember you decided to take that job not me. Learn your manners! Back to Phenos I go!!!! read more

Would not be served with an out of state license. My state has a security feature that is intended to make it not possible to photograph the QR type code on the back. I said just scan it without the pic but they said they need a pic so they can scan the pic and sent me on my way. Seems they need to change the way register ppl. Good thing I had no issue a mile down the road. Shop around if denied, you won't have to go far. read more

Purchased CBD dominant ointment by mistake when specifically requested THC dominant ointment for back pain. Immediately returned within minutes to request an exchange and was told there was a no return policy. Unfortunately, this place will definitely lose business due to there lack of customer service. When I frequent my regular dispensary, I spend over 300 dollars a visit on a weekly basis. I thought I'd try Authentic 209 because I was told they carry the balm I needed. I would suggest to anyone that they NOT go to Authentic 209 they SUCK! read more

I went into your dispensary twice both times I had an excellent experience the budtenders were extremely helpful and gave me a lot of information , but for some reason this third time I was denied service because my ID had clear tape on it same as before but for some reason this time it was invalid because of the tape which made no sense if I had no issues with the tape on it the other two times my ID clearly went through and she said I still couldn't go in this makes me extremely upset because if that was the case then my ID shouldn't have been accepted the first time. read more

My favorite dispensary in modesto. Dakota is the best . All the budtenders are very knowledgeable and helpful.

This place stole my money and when I let the manager know I was yelled at by security as well as another bud tender.. Do Not Shop Here Modesto these people are rude and untrustworty read more

I have always loved this place and talked it up to everyone i know. Today was the first time that made me question why I would come back. The staff were all great except the security guard coming in the door. I walked in with my boyfriend and the lady behind the counter asked for my id so i went to get it and the the security guard who was talking to a man who was leaving aggressively stepped in and demanded i get scanned before giving my id. The tone threw me off along with the lady behind the counter. I understand he was doing his job however if i need to be scanned before coming into the building maybe it should be at the door before entering the building or if in the building then the tone should be different. read more

Dope spot! Helpful and got a big selection of stuff. Due to the Virus they are taking big precautions and I thought that was dope read more

Was in the area and looked up dispensaries. Authentic looked to have the best selection so I gave it a try. I was hesitant when I saw 2 armed guards, and asked if it was a sketchy neighborhood, but they were nice and said it was regulations they had to go by and that it was a nice neighborhood. The guy at the desk was very friendly and informative. Two minutes later and I was entering the store/ pharmacy. Big, bright, super clean and lots of inventory with everything on display. 2 more minutes and I was talking to a budtender, Ally. I told her what I was looking for and within 10 min I had what I needed. Overall, Fantastic experience Fantastic prices Great people! I definitely will go back. read more

I spoke to the kindest lady on the phone when I called. My dog had a stroke last week and I was looking for a certain petcbd. They didn't have it but still I just had to say thank you to the lady for being so nice and understanding. Thank you thank you! read more

All of my 8ths were shorted at least half a gram! The securities guards are also extremely RUDE and prejudice.
