LeAhna is an amazing manager. She reached out to me regarding the last yelp review and made sure she got the whole story and apologized for the mistreatment. She said that's not what embarc is about and they truly care about the customers. She made sure that I felt good coming back to the establishment and making sure I felt safe and comfortable. She told me that they were looking more into the situation and was handling it accordingly. The gift bag that they gave me was so above and beyond. I really feel appreciated and more than anything I feel welcomed. Thank you for taking the situation serious and following up in a professional manner. Embarc continues being my #1 dispensary, it always has a great selection for the best value. It has my favorite edibles and pre rolls always available. Thank you LeAhna and management!

PLUS AND WYLD GUMMIES

My first time in here (7/5/24 @ 5:30pm) and it did not disappoint! I was too excited to check it out and tried to walk in w/o checking in but I was welcomed in comfortably by front desk & security & as a first timer I was offered 25% off. Thanks yall! Right on the other side of the wall, I was greeted/helped by John right away. Amazing service off the dome. Came in for some PLUS CBD gummies and also asked for some suggestions based on my preferences and John suggested WYLD gummies which funny enough was my brother's recommendation so I knew John was out to give me the good stuff. Price was reasonable and everything was labeled. A smooth and easy in and out shop for the quick fix! My friends reached out to proxy something for them but didn't have what they were looking for but all good cuz what we found was a GREAT experience and customer service and oh yeah the gummies too ‍ Guess we found the local dispensary. *where's the "chef's kiss" emoji at*

Small little place but can get the job done if you know your stuff or just trying things out. As you go you check in every time you go in. Process is very fast and you're in before you know it. The shop is divided by categories such as flower, vapes, wax. My to-gos are vapes so they have a snuggly wall of diverse amount of strains, flavours, price points and whatnot. There's also a discount wall with all the goodies trying to make it out the store. I'm always satisfied with the options they have as they do carry several 1 gram cartridges. Customer service is great. Very knowledgeable and nice people. They do offer or at least accepted some old coupons which was a nice gesture. Discounts are rarely offered here though. Always welcoming and helpful staff that's a plus.

Date: 1/14/2022 Time: 6:05 PM 58° Cool It's my first time here at this cannabis club. Wow wee!! I never thought my first review for 2022 would be a cannabis club. I am not one to do a puff, puff, pass on Mary Jane. Then I'm not gonna sing "I'm in love with Mary Jane; she's my main thing..." (song by Rick James). I'm not gonna say how many years ago that I lit one up and ended with the "munchies" of pizza and salty snacks. LOL. My husband and I drop in to purchase some Papa and Barkley 3:1 Releaf Balm. Because being a first timer, the gentleman at the front counter has to scan my state ID before allowing me access to the area where an assortment of cannabis products are sold. I'm glad Embarc has the balm in stock. Their inventory is neatly organized and I see something in the refrigerator that perks my interest - cannabis infused beverages in fruity flavors for a fruity girl as myself. I am always concerned regarding the grams of sugar in these beverages for health reasons. The female employee assisting us shows me the nutritional chart on these beverages. Zero gram of sugar. Okay, that works for me. The place is clean and well lit. Employees are pleasant and helpful. Some items are pricy. That is to be expected. Prices will not stop me from visiting in the future to purchase a few of those fruity beverages. The only drawback is street parking can be problematic in front of the business.

Great staff and fast convenient service. They also have a good selection of pre-rolls, flower, edibles, and drinks. Street parking only and near a bus stop. I recommend check out their website for daily deals or holiday specials. They accept cash and credit cards, and I think they may have a ATM machine inside.

I had never been inside a cannabis dispensary before as I don't partake, but I was with a buddy who want to stop by this place, based in no small part on the wonderful reviews. We parked about a block away. This place is on the busy Webster Street retail district in Alameda. So parking can be a little tricky. But we were able to find a metered spot right on webster. Upon entering the establishment we were greeted and the gentleman (I believe his name was Lars) who helped us was so knowledgeable. I asked many (likely dumb) questions, and each one received a thorough and thoughtful answer. I learned so much. Thank you for a great first experience at a dispensary, Embarc!

Good selection of buds

Good guys and gals working here with good securities. Enjoyed all their products and the vibe inside the shop. Everyone is always so helpful and friendly helping answering questions. Big shout out to Andres!

But immediately a guy named Lars welcomed me into the store and gave me a break-down of what's what.

Daughter and I walked in! Always greeted so warmly by the security guard and lady at the front…read more I always feel safe bc security is walking around all the time. Building is secured. Second time here. BC last month How High movie was Hilarious. And for one of the owners to come to Movie night was a vibe! My mother nor myself smoke. But, I wish I did bc the vibe at the movies was vibing. We had popcorn delicious hot dogs. And the goodie bag! My daughter said was worth $200! We paid $25 for all of this. So this month May 8,2926 you better get your ticket. We did! The movie is Pineapple Express! I know a goodie bag will be given. $25 for a car full of people! Just keep in mind only one goodie bag per $25! And one hot dog per ticket. So, we each got ours one ticket. Nice cool chilled vibe.

Easy free parking, budtenders that don't judge you for asking questions, a very organized ID check…read moreand managed line throughout the store, and a wide variety of choices (including edibles, drinks, etc) - something for everyone whether it's a big part of your lifestyle or you're just curious. I have never tried ordering online so I can't speak to that. Decent prices, lots of discounts (BOGO, 20% off, etc) around the holidays (pretty good sale for Valentine's this past weekend), free and easy parking in the back. Only con is that it can get super busy even in the late evenings so expect to wait!
