Embarc Alameda - Rose petal was my fav - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Alameda, California

Love the format of this dispensary. Just grab what you need and pay. No need to wait for someone to put in your order on an ipad and wait for it to come from the stock room. It's always a quick, friendly trip in here read more

It's a great store with an excellent selection, friendly staff who will help you chose what is right for you. I got a bonus for buying more than $100 worth. read more

This place is a gem. Super professional, incredibly kind employees. Alex and Lars come to mind specifically bc I felt SO impressed by their service that I had to ask their names, but everyone working there deserves acknowledgment for making this shop what it is. I have met Greg lol, and he really is wonderful, too. Consumer interaction is not my idea of a good time, but I actually sort of look forward to this place. The people make it different from other shops of its sort. Every single time I have visited this store I have been treated with respect and kindness. Its nice to go to a shop where people demonstrate authentic desire to help you find what you are looking for. Thank you Alex and Lars, you guys made my week :) read more

Andres is amazing!! We love coming here and is our only shop we come too. To service to selection everything is great

This is a great club. I would recommend it to others. I will definitely return. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

John is a great budtender. They have amazing service and great deals. Plus the selection is good.

Awesome place with great staff! They're very friendly and polite. Greg was awesome! Such a fantastic location, and love the vibe! Do yourself a favor and go check this place out. You will not regret it! read more

Great Neighborhood business! What a fantastic store. from the moment you enter you feel welcomed and valued. Tried Embarc as they were new in town and they were great. The Staff is friendly and knowledgable. The products they carry were all of my favorites and they even introduced me to some new vendors. Support local businesses and go here now, they are the best in Alameda. read more

Thank you for letting get that last minute Friday night purchase. I know how much you want to get home after a days work but you were smiling and friendly and let us stall your closing procedures a little longer and we did not forget. Thank you SO much!! read more

Jonathan and Nolani? (from different store, helping out this location today) we're very friendly and welcoming. They both helped me through my purchase and provided THE BEST customer service. Would def come back just for these awesome customer interactions, but prices and products are great too. 6/5 stars read more

Today was my first time going in. Before even stepping inside the nice security guard greated me, checked my temperature and directed me where to go next. I was asked if it was my first time and I said yes and I was able to sign up for their passport club to get 15% off of my order. I really liked their set up and feel to the store. I sanitized my hands and grabbed a little basket and was able shop like if I was grocery shopping. I love being able to shop like that. Very easy to navigate, clean, neat, prices and descriptions were clear and easy to read. They had a good variety. I love the Wyld edibles and they had a deal today so I was very happy to see that. Chris was the one that was working there and he helped me with any questions I had and had great recommendations. I was very pleased with my first time there and I will definitely be going there again. read more

See all

Hands down the best experience I have had at a dispensary. Greg was the most awesome person to meet and talk too about cannabis. He was exciting and engaging and doubled down on an experience that was already great. The staff was friendly and the product was well stocked and with great variety. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Best dispensary in Alameda! Shout out to Julius and Lars for great customer service!!

What a great a friendly place to pass on the way home, not everyone's cup of tea but the staff and service was great. I may not have gotten anything for myself but my friends said this was great and as an observer it was pretty great read more

Disorganized and untrained. Barcode not scanned even though an item was sold to me by the manager on 9/7. The manager Francis in general speaks very condescending to customers but realized you can't train someone how to provide great customer service to people and how to speak to others with grace. It's not about what you say, it's about how you say it and people tend to want to buy and work with people they like or isn't cold. She never smiled, and doesn't look happy when I go in. All in all, I want to avoid attitude and, by being a woman that does not like conflict. Every time I go into the store, I try not to get helped by her, but when I came in on 9/7, it was because the week prior I just purchased a brand new battery and both weeks she was my cashier. She tested my battery in a reader, and indeed it was defected because the oil leaked internally somehow, but never leaked on the exterior. I came back 9/8 to exchange an unopened battery. 22 hours to see Andre who seemed to be a nice and a good employee, however he was new on the job for a few weeks. Most of the staff seemed stressed and a lack of leadership. With the shop being so small, it's hard to have any conversation without everyone listening. I saw customers going behind the glass counter because the store feels little disorganized and ppl don't know where to stand. I came in again on 9/8 - Wanted to do an exchange, since I had a second battery I bought from them that was defected. I'm the type to stick to something if it works and my plan was to have two of the same battery after it was tested at home because I'm terrified of batteries malfunctioning. Long story short, Francis said she's already returned two batteries. It was defected so the hardware should be sent back to the vendor. I don't choose to go back-and-forth to a store, especially in the middle of the night so for her to say that they have done it twice is unacceptable because I didn't realize that they were counting. If it's a product defect that they need to return it back to manufacturer after testing and when it's industry-standard that most have that agreement. If they think they were doing me a favor, then they have a lot to catch up to Nug or Park Social. I want to be helped by people that are customer service friendly and is genuinely helpful and that I don't feel that I'm burdening the manager. I know that might be asking a lot. The manager said I wasn't even looking at her and that she's the manager, and that I was dealing with her subordinate, Andre, which was helping me first so out of common curtesy, he kept helping me at the same time. It sounded like a petty matter, not something a customer should be involved with or to help solve their internal issues. In a nutshell, I felt mistreated when I was speaking to the manager in the store. All they had to say was sorry, but we cannot do exchanges rather than making me feel like I was the concern and after saying they've done it twice already. As a customer, i wasn't respected because some comments were unnecessary. Rather than making it seem like she was going me a huge favor with 2 defected products, I wish it was a perfect product and that I did not need to come back so that Francis wouldn't have to do work. to The manager mentioned that when the battery stops working, it's an excuse to get the customers to come back to spend more money because the trick is basically rubbing alcohol. Looking forward to a bigger and a spacious dispensary, a lot of their inventory is out of stock so I don't end up finding as much. I would go to a bigger store, with better selection, and for more privacy read more

My sister and I stoped in on our vacation to San Francisco such a great little spot. It was really nice to get to pick up and look at the products! I didn't feel rushed at all. They had a sale section too which was cool to look at. The bud tenders were super nice and answered questions and gave honest feedback and advice on so many products it was nice to know that they truly care about what the sell. Standard pricing and lots of selection. Plus a really nice aesthetic to the whole place!! read more

I've been coming here for awhile now, I always love the the energy the workers create in the store.

Amazing place to go for you first purchase tho be prepared to fight for them to honor their advertised discount, i did. They have some great stuff there but wow do they Jack up the prices, it's ridicules and thats before tax. read more

First time experience was disappointing . I've been to many dispensaries and had bad experiences I'm sure we all have lol but this place felt unwelcoming no one said hello or helped me out even when I asked questions about products felt rushed when asking about products. I was looking for stiiizy pods and some jeeter joints and was sold a disposable stiiizy pen and was indica not the sativa cart I asked for smh and the prices are expensive paid way more than other stores. read more

New to the spot. Big G, and the squad, over at Embarc made my first visit one of my favorites of anywhere I've been. They helped me feel at home... Besides that, the Phire cart (cranberry Xmas something lol) I got is the best tasting thing I've ever tried, the prices were spot on, and although it took me a minute to get in n out, (no fault of their's) it was still smoove ride. I'll def slide through again next time I need to reup. Mahalos The real Oak Okinawa707 read more

Good quality, good prices, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They always have great deals, I've gotten a bunch of freebies (merch and *goodies*) and always tell people to go when they're shopping for a dispensary. Also their selection of edibles and pre-rolls is great, you can find something for every tolerance level from sativa to indica to CBD and everything in between. Love this place! read more

My first time in Embarc with 10 minutes to spare before closing and the were nice enough to accommodate me since they don't usually take new patrons after 8p. Lucky me! I was greeted by a gentleman name Brandon who was knowledgeable of the products and what I needed. It was a pleasant first time experience and I will be back, for sure. read more

Horrible customer service!!!! High paying customer not served 5 minutes BEFORE closing... as I'm posting this everything states the business is still opening but doors aren't locked until I'm starting to get out of my car and then sign is pulled in as I'm driving off. I also called ahead of time to announce my presence and was still turned away. read more

It really doesn't get much better then the crew at Embarq in Alameda! Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable especially when I needed something to help me with sleep issues.

To the crew at Embarq, Thanks for everything, I hope to see you again soon! read more
