Used to shop here rather loyally, never again. Even used there delivery service a couple times a week, not going to be doing that anymore. I was willing to put up with the higher prices when the staff made an effort to satisfy their customers but, those days are gone. God forbid you ask a budtender to recommend a strain because, you will most likely be met with a condescending tone that seems to be present in every one of their staff drones. Free tea, free vapes, not worth it for the added attitude. Right next door is an actual family owned dispensary with just as good, if not better products at WAY better prices and served with a nice attitude. I have been frequenting SF dispensaries since 2009 and have never seen employees act as rude or condescending as the staff at SPARC. Fancy lights and atmosphere do not make you better than the clubs around you. I would highly recommend a customer service overhaul. The extra star is mostly for the SPARC vendors, who put out really great products, its unfortunate that SPARC gives some of them the markup that they do. read more

See all

Store is cute, has a wheelchair lift! Bella helped me and she was amazing. Best customer service I've had at Sparc. I thoroughly enjoyed their recommendations! read more

Another satisfied customer. Love the great deals and knowledgeable budtender..Thank you Bella.I love the SPARC brand cartridges. Yummy..

I was really looking forward toward coming here! Me and my friend went on a tour and this spot was on the list. All the photos online the looked great so I was super pumped to come here. But unfortunately once we got to the counter to pick our flower the excitement got lost. The gentlemen helping us was rude, he didn't seem patient, and I felt rushed. The lady at the front desk was very nice tho! But there are a lot of other friendlier dispensary around the area. read more

Sparc was always over priced, but their nice environment, jar packaging, and THC testing helped almost make up for it. The easiest way to know a place is over priced is when they sell the same exact edibles as other dispensaries, but they cost more. Since recreational legalization things have gotten worse. Now they do not allow patients/customers to see or smell the flowers. The staff is completely unknowledgeable. Ask, have you tried X, and they have not. Ask, is it flushed and cured properly? They don't have a clue. For anything over $65 an 1/8th there should be no doubt that it is cured and flushed properly. I tried an 1/8th of Florida Juicy from Sense. You can tell as soon as you open the jar that it smells too fruity which means it still has hydroponic nutrients in it because it has not been flushed properly. Someone should be tasting the stuff to make sure it is flushed. And if it is not fully flushed it should at least be cheep. $65 is outrageous for an 1/8th that tastes bad, gives you a headache, and makes your throat hurt. They claim employees cannot test the wares themselves due to the new laws. That is complete BS. The owners could pay for an 1/8th to allow the employees to be educated on what they are selling. They could also pay for one to allow customers to smell it. They are too cheep to do that. You would think with $70 plus tax 1/8ths they could afford it. Only go here if your options are limited or you just have a lot of extra money to waste. read more

I buy all of my cannabis products from SPARC. I order online and my order is delivered, usually within minutes, to my door. I wish everything in life could be so uncomplicated. I swear by the Dosist cannabis vaporizer for SLEEP. It does exactly that, helps me go to sleep and stay asleep. The delivery guys are always friendly and accomodating! read more

This place is a diamond in the very rough Tenderloin. We all know there is no tender in that loin except for this place. It has a heavenly spa feel. Just what the doctor ordered. Their product is top notice. Their vapor equipment is easy to use once they kindly showed me how. A little piece of heaven...please continue to grow read more

Sparc - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a great store, with a pretty vast selection of products and really quality people behind the counter. While there are quite a few shops in the neighborhood, I find that I drop by Sparc more often than the competitors. The experience is always positive, the staff is so welcoming and the environment is clean and relaxing. I love the complimentary tea and water, quite a nice touch! Keep up the good work Sparc! read more

I've shopped at Sparc for a decade but in 2020 they sold me a defective Puffco Peak and were completely hands off when I reported problems with the purchase. "We just sell the product and take a commission but don't stand by the quality, good luck with the manufacturer resolving whatever problems you have." I've mostly switched to Medithrive and other dispensaries for delivery it's a shame Sparc went downhill so much. read more

Ok, I have been going to Sparc for a while now and usually make it in their at least every other day. From day one I knew this place was my favorite and it just has gotten better. This place is huge for a dispensory. It's long and has about 6 different stations to get yours medication on one side. On the back wall they have clones. And on the other side they have 4 different digital volcano vaporizers tables that can sit 4 to 5 at each. You can check bags out and I haven't seen them run out of bags yet even when it's busy! They have hot tee for free and water. The atmospher is very modern with all nice wood. Every other week or so they have jazz playing and free samples in edibles and free vap bags. You really feel like a member at this place. They offer a lot more but i don't take advantage of it so don't know anything about it. Their staff is one of the best, very clean dressed, personable and friendly! Their dry cannabis is also very good. On their $55 eights you get it in a jar. My favorite top shelf so far has been the green ribbon. It was only in stock for a week cause it was so good. They also have this outdoor cannabis which they grow, $40 to $60 quarters. The $60 blue dream us amazing and you can't beat the price and it's 21.9% thc. The outdoor Deep Chunk Strawberry Cough $50 17.5thc which is also amazing bud. All in all they usually carry around 25 to 30 strains all of great quality. Their edibles are also very good, try the gummies for $8, ate 3 and it was probably too much. Also you get a membership card, it's a hard card so it won't tear in your wallet. But the best part is every $250 you spend they give you $25 for the next time you come. Also check out their website it's up to date every day and they cannabis menu is very nice with prices, CBD, THC but no pictures which is their downside, probably their only downside ha. read more

Sparc - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - San Francisco, California

So...I'm pretty square, but hellacious back pain (spinal arthritis) had me crawling around in pain. I was desperate and got myself a card and came here. This is the spot! I don't know a damn thing about weed or CBDs, but I am learning a lot with the amazing staffers here. Really, they spend a LOT of time explaining the products. Today, I probably spent over 20 minutes on a consult with Knick. Yes...Nick with a K. He was so so so helpful. Even reinstated an expired bonus I had on my account. With Knick's help I got myself a grip of edibles that I think will this back of mine unkinked for a bit. Love this place! read more

(Spoiler: I know, TL;DR. At least read the end first, if you start to think I'm being a d-ck, yeah?) I totally just went to Sparc on Mission for a "free dabs and pizza promo." Just two dabs and a little bit of pizza. And I went from Bayview to Mission. And that was it! Now I'm back home. Haha! Fun. (I have work, blah) Funny thing, it didn't really have much of an effect. I like CHALLENGED the guy. "Dabs don't do anything for me. I don't know whyyyyy." So, his lovely assistant said, "Punch him in the face." With a dab. So, he's all, "Oh, okay." (And then there's this guy behind me I've been flirting with like you would not believe) Anywho, I take my dabs. And all three of them, HotAF, LovelyAF, and BluntAF, are like, "Oh, sh-----t." Meanwhile, I say thanks, and take my pizza. I need to get water, so I go get some water (they have a whole, like, bar sink station. Huh ) And I nosh on my pizza. And then I come back. "So, I have like a massive tolerance and this didn't seem to do sh-t. I think that's what it is." Someone else there said, "Yeah, that's prob it." (There was more, but this was the shell of the nut) And then the dab station was closed by then, so I could get no more dab, even though I figured i could do another. Oh, well. I took another sliver of pizza. They were bite-sized anyway. Outside, I talk to someone real quick. Big hulking dude. And I say, "Yahno, there are potheads and there are potheads." And he's like, "What do you mean?" And I say, "I MEAN, I just did what I did and I feel nothing." I'm not sure I feel "nothing," mind you. But I'm just saying. And he says, "It's all about tolerance. It takes a lot to get me going, too." Right? Right. So, I said, "Good night to you," or something to that effect. And I bounced. #cefgw I have wicked tolerance. It is messed up. Or it's like my supah powah, 'n' sh-t. ‍‍ I am high AF. read more

These guys sell Atrium cannabis. Some of the best I've had so far. Far above any top shelf cannabis out there.

Bad experience twice in a row, went there the other nite, 2nd visit and was excited to have an uplifting experience, so to speak, but it turned out opposite. Upon arriving was asked for IDs, Cards, Verification - forgot my SPARC CARD - Finally I get in, Space is empty & Devoid of any GOOD VIBRATIONS, get no greetings or acknowledgement ( thinking hey, here I am a CUSTOMER, I have $$$ ) common sense U know,simple basic business etiquette, instead I'm being verified & more security scrutiny ( Showed my ID, Med-Mar. ), he wants to see my Medi-cal Card, what? I'm told to have a seat while they're creating a temp. SPARC Card, what? Gave me some forms I think, went to sit down & play dis game , then I realized Holy Shite, there are other DISPENSARY OUTLETS still open so I googled it, Shazam I found two down the street, I requested my cards back, as I'm was leaving the DUDE behind da counter - who was handling my verification - yells out in a sarcastic tone " have a good nite " WHAT a Cheeky Bastard , high tailed out out of there & will never go back 2-dis POT-HOLE again.. BYE BYE APARC, walked a block or 2 and then a Mirage appeared , there ... the Barbary Coast = GOOD VIBRATIONS + Spirits which was TRUELY UPLIFTING as it was meant to be NATURALLY.... I happened to get da YELP EM regarding dis hyped up POT-HOLE " SPARC " noticed they still have serious Customer Relation / Surly , Cocky , Cheeky Staff issues, plus raising da Prices wen its Legal now, then I notices every time there's a Bad Review published on YELP, one of their staffs or friends gets on Yelp & writes Great Review with 5 X STARS , though the previous Reviews have bad rants & Ratings followed by more bad Ratings , I'm on to U SPARCEE. Hey ROBBIE GET A FUCKING LIFE since ur ignoring the Reviews & Customers Concern, U were gonna BRIBE me with a Joint to change my Review, what a low class piece of Crap U are, then again U are an example / Representative of ur POT-HOLE establishment , shame on U & ur Arse-Hole owners. Up URS TRUELY SPARCees Hey every body, here's a TIP for getting good SHITE, go to UPPER or LOWER HAIGHT ST. or try Barbary Coast, or See what's behind da GREEN DOOR JOINT next door, FUCK SPARC & dem people. read more

I just don't get this place. Staff always seems unhelpful or just plain rude. You leave the place wondering "why do they hate me," but it seems like they just hate the world. This is clearly the kind of issue that stems from bad management. Their neighbor dispensary Re-leaf is closing down, Urb Pharm is a bunch of Sacramento wannabes who sell shit and act like shit. So we're stuck with the tourist joint up the street I guess. So be it. Update: I have added a star based on the private response of the business manager. I will not be returning, but at least they made an attempt to make things right. read more

One of my favorite cannabis dispensaries. If they were in the East Bay I would go more frequently. The business is clean and organized and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They carry a great selection of tinctures for various issues including ones for pain, anxiety, etc. Of course the also have tons of kinds of herb, edibles and much more. read more

This club is a little bit on the pricey side but I love all the freebies they give here! Their free prerolls are bomb, they actually give out top shelf prerolls sometimes. I was just so happen to be lucky one day and got 2 for referring my co-worker and we're both in the industry. "Vape a bag on us" is my fave. Some days, they have free vaping and they let you try top shelf strands.. and the Volcano is awesome. Please try if you haven't yet! I'm considering purchasing one for my house. Even though they go for $500.. I'll have to start a fundraiser.. whoever comes to my house to smoke will have to chip in. I really think it would be a good investment. Seriously. read more

A grade dispensary. They had a laundry list of premium products to choose from and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They also provide customers a kit to medicate there on site. Great place I will definitely return. read more

Sparc - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - San Francisco, California

I LOVED sparc re-COVID. The staff, security, etc were very friendly informative and helpful. The whole place had a great, cafe like vibe. However, their website is impossible!! I tried 3 time to order and finally gave up- It is just too kludge! You are such a valuable resource, SPARC. Please fix your on line ordering.. read more

By far my favorite dispensary in the city. Clean inside. Friendly and professional staff. Knowledgable budtenders. SO MANY FREEBIES!!!!!! And they don't give you the stink eye when you claim your freebies as well. I am a loyal customer and although there are a lot of cheaper dispensaries down the street, I will always buy from here because my first time there you hooked me up with a free joint, eith, a volcano bag, and hibiscus tea. YOU GUYS ROCK! read more

Excellent Dispensary! Try the shatter or wax with your tasty buds. Quick and easy. Good location with easy to get to spot on muni bus. Bring ID card when pick up and order online first or try the delivery. read more

This is my second review since leaving Sparc two months ago. Barbary Coast is the place. They are fast, no attitude like Sparc and trust me there is a big attidute. A BC they cover your back and they know how parking is. Scott never get's that. His guy at the front door laughed at me when I got a ticket. The guys at BC got your back. It is all about customer serivce and now this is a retial business. Once Sparc trains their folks to be courteous and understand their parking. They do not accept CC or DC like their voicemail says and they have not for months and they do not update it. This is how bad they are. read more

SPARC likes to call itself the "Apple store of pot clubs" and its true. Long lines, major attitude and novice salespeople who don't usually know what they are talking about. If you value your privacy, do not join SPARC. Two different staff members on two different occasions told my subordinate employees that I was a member there. I wanted to support them and did for almost two years but I cannot get past the complete disregard for privacy. Unacceptable. read more

This is what a cannabis dispensary should be like.The labels are great.Just what the doctor ordered.The Military Veterans receive MORE discounts on all amounts . I am happy with the products quality and variety and the REWARDS and discounts are what make them a better, real non profit that is in touch with the patient's needs. Sparc is what I imagined when I was younger.(in the 60s and 70s) This baby boomer is happy to see such great ethics in the industry. Dr Tod Mikuriya would agree that Sparc is a medical cannabis industry leader Great Example Thanks. read more

Happy 2014, I still love you, SPARC! (an update, also to counter my recent review of Grass Roots) Now that I've gotten more into concentrates, I've found that its easy to find them all over the city, but really hard to find the good ones and people who know about them. While there have been a couple times I've gotten some misinformed info from a couple budtenders about concentrates (and she even said she was unsure, but they were having a sale and it was crazy busy, so I just made some quick decisions knowing it may or not work out), for the most part they are on their game. They're not ripping me off price-wise, they're not pushing whatever they need to get rid of on me even if it's not what I want. I still love their frequent buyer discount, the event nights, and being able to go and hang out with my friends in their lovely lounge, with the new awesome 3D posters and lovely decor. The staff is always friendly and I really appreciate that I still feel welcome every time I come. Most importantly, they truly do put their patients best interest first, above the business aspect of maximizing profit, and really make an effort to sell excellent quality products of all varieties at reasonable prices. And while there is nothing wrong with an employee having a bad day and not putting their happy face on, these guys have always had a great team of people, security, front desk and budtenders, smiling and being friendly with everyone who comes through those doors. So thank you, SPARC, for continuing to provide an excellent service to the MMJ community of SF. read more

So I came in today and was surprised by the marigold special everything was buy one get one half off!!!! This awesome furry guy behind the counter named Robbie totally hooked it up and was amazing with his product knowledge.... I don't come to SPARC often but I will definitely be back! Thanks, Ram read more

SPARC is a great cannabis dispensary. They are clean, professional, friendly, and have a great selection of medicine. The concentrate selection and quality has been awesome. I reccomend the Ice Wax, it is excellent. The medicine is on point also. Great selection from budget to top shelf. Picked up an 1/8th of GSC that is legit. The outdoor and greenhouse selection is really good too. I dont know what all these other people are talking about as far as price, SPARCS prices are pretty much on par as other places for the same if not better quality. read more

SPARC is far and away my favorite dispensary that I've been to. Even when I used to live up north, I'd be sure to stop by here over the weekend before driving back up because the quality of the dispensaries in the Sac region just do not compare at all. Most dispensaries in general are very obvious about the fact that they exist only to be a legitimate way of "slangin' bud". SPARC is actually committed to medical patients with very real and serious needs, and I love that! All of the staff that I've interacted with (which is at least 10-15) have been extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. The great thing about this place (at least for me) is that the budtenders know what they're talking about. Whenever I walk up, describe what I'm looking for in the strain (will help me sleep and de-stress but won't make me groggy, will keep me up but not give me a headache, etc) and ask for recommendations, they always come through! And often, it's NOT the most expensive one they have! So thank you, SPARC budtenders, for not just trying to upsell us on the priciest options and actually being an advocate for your customer :) Another thing I love is the vibe this place has. Because it's so legitimate and caring, the people who are members of this dispensary are very diverse so it's fun to people watch (and get into random conversations with people you share a Volcano with). If you're here, consider forcing yourself to talk to the person next to you and share stories; you never know what you may learn! A lot of these reviews knock this place for the prices. I am a little concerned that no one from the company has addressed the complaints that the product was weighed and found to be under what it was advertised as -- I hope they do soon. I have never weighed it myself. I can just say I'm pleased with the value I'm receiving. I know exactly the strength and characteristics of the bud, and that is the value I personally find in it. A story to illustrate/end: Once, I went to SPARC with two of my friends. One of them has been epileptic for years. We were looking at the glass display cases and suddenly he started to feel a seizure coming on then instantly ran out to try to avoid it. His girlfriend ran out to make sure he was okay and I explained to the budtender that he has epilepsy. A member of the staff took the time to come outside, make sure he was okay and explained that they're looking into switching out the lightbulbs so it doesn't affect their patients like this. He even gave him a CBD gummy to help him with the aura. That is great customer service! read more

The REAL DEAL: This place has AWESOME decor very relaxed and nice vape lounge. I come here to use the volcano's when I am in the area. The staff are friendly. BUT they claim to offer affordable product, they DO NOT. Everything here is 5 to 10 dollars AT LEAST more expensive than EVERY other spot in San Francisco. I have been to almost EVERY dispensary in SF and this place is overpriced. If you want overpriced weed that you can get ANYWHERE else go here. Otherwise shop around and enjoy better prices for better product. Also bought an 8th that was much LESS than an 8th F this place man... BTW sparc will not reply to this...they dont give a F. read more

Sparc has set a standard of dispensaries. Hands down my top choice in an area filled with options. The volcano bar is top notch, newbies don't be intimidated as the staff walked me through the full experience for first use. Wish I could give more stars! read more

SPARC is one of my 2 favorite clubs in the city. They're typically well stocked, have a decent selection of flowers, and have the nicest facility I've seen so far. However, they limit you to 30 min on the vapes, and they don't have any really unique edibles... So, 4 stars for the club. But 5 stars for Eddie, who is super nice and was very helpful when he took my order. He spent time helping me find the right flowers and made me feel like a valued member :) read more

Bait & Switch they told me I'd get $25 off my next purchase, but when I returned, Sparc reneged, so I bought nothing. I won't do business with companies like that. I've found another dispensary that seems honest. read more

Long sign up process....and no good hash selections! I came in because of the prices and startled none of them included tax. Watch out for this place! They tout "Taking the Profit out of Pot", but just walking in makes me feel like they are for profit. Walk down to HopeNet at 9th and Howard or even Releaf two stores down and compare and you'll see the difference for yourself! I chuckled because there is a sign out front that says "The Dispensary of the Future" and felt I should be seeing Spacely Sprockets and characters from the Jetson's in there, but none of that...Just f*&*D up prices for crappy medical cannabis. The Green Door is even better than this place! read more

I really enjoyed my first time (15%off) visit! Travis was very informative and helpful when it came to product knowledge(as well as all other staff). High quality product here along with excellent service; everyone apart of the staff were sure to happily greet me and created a comfortable and positive atmosphere/environment. They even give you a schedule of the months events and validate parking! I had the best 30minute free massage ever by Frank, & can't wait to come in and receive free acupuncture! #NonProfitOrganization #MedicalHealing #LegalizeIt read more

Sparc - Member handbook: you will receive a member card. - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - San Francisco, California

Okay, well to be honest, I've had mixed feelings about Sparc. My first visit there, I was expecting it to be a bit snooty, based on things I've heard and read. I can't say it's a complete lie, but if you look around you, it's obviously a more upscale place. I might add that after a few visits I felt that they were much nicer. Anyway, regarding the high prices, I think they've been doing better with it. Maybe they've seen the reviews, because lately they're having good deals that make shopping there a little easier. Most importantly, they let you vape inside! You don't even have to make a purchase. I've gone a few times to vape with my boyfriend and enjoy complimentary tea. It's a nice calm environment that not everyone can have anywhere else. I haven't, but you can also get a massage sooo.. A few extra bucks for their bud isn't a huge deal to me. They're pretty great. read more

I have been going to sparc for a few years, and have never once had a bad experience. The space is aesthetically interesting, and upscale without hinting at exclusivity. If you haven't visited a cannabis dispensary, SPARC provides good hand holding to get you started. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. They know their cannabinoids, trichomes, and terpenes. Management is extremely responsive to concerns or questions. Ah, and the Pot? From top shelf flowers, to their proprietary sun grown Marigold strains, all are lab tested for thc, cbd percentages , as well as unwanted pesticides and molds. Everything is worthy of your money and time. Having tried several other dispensaries in SF, SPARC is clearly the model of excellence. Seriously, nothing else comes close. Why go anywhere else. read more

Unlike a lot of places, the vaporizers at Sparc are extremely well maintained. They are always in perfect working order, immaculately clean and the vape kits are presented in nice clean organized little wooden boxes. The vaping area tables and benches are also kept very clean and the whole place has a high-end Norwegian minimalist feel. For patients with suppressed immune systems this is very reassuring. The only knock I have on the place is that it's located almost right next door to one of the seediest clinics in the city, a liquor store and there is quite a bit of drug activity and prostitution in the neighborhood. It can be dicey walking back to your car, but the security out front at Sparc is pretty good. The product is consistent and very high quality and reasonably priced. They have an unique - though not particularly diverse - selection of high end edibles (Igzactly 420 definitely has a wider selection of edibles). The flowers and extracts are incredible and I have reason to believe that they are working with a reputable lab to test the cannabinoid profiles of their products. read more

Sparc is always my go to dispensary! Their medicine is always potent and very well treated. If you come in looking to spot top dollar you will most definitely not go wrong as their top shelf menu will not disappoint in quality. And if you come in not looking to break the bank, you can get great value paying around $35/eighth. They've also got a great vaping lounge area with a few volcano vaporizers and it seems are constantly running a promotional event. I came in on 4/20/13 and got so high alone just on samples of high quality chocolate edibles not to mention the mountain of goodies that actually made it home with me. Sparc is by far the best and most consistently well-run dispensary in San Francisco. I will definitely always be stopping by there for my medicine! read more

I'm smoke sensitive, so I can't go inside Sparc after work on the weekend. Decided to try delivery. Their "new-and-improved" online menu is so sluggish and unresponsive it's barely fit for purpose. After five minutes wrestling with it (including a Cloud Flare error message shutting everything down at one point), my order finally goes through and I receive confirmation. Five minutes later they text to tell my purchase it out of stock, but would I like a much-less potent product for the same price? I cancel the order. Now instead of relaxing, I'm kicking myself for trusting the Wal-Mart of weed. read more

Go to SPARC. Go to Eddie. Go to Volcano. Try to go home. That's the gist of it, but since you are probably looking for details; SPARC is a high-end dispensary one block from the civic center BART in a not so high-end neighborhood. (They typically have the doorman with two other employees roaming that side of the block just in case I suppose). This place has a lot of free sample events, free massages, acupuncture, etc. There a row of volcanoes to enjoy too. I'm using one right now. The bud ranges from decent for the cheaper stuff ($35-40 per 8th) to fire on the expensive and ($60-65 per eighth). All the edibles and extracts and stuff you'll need which range very widely in price. I'd highly recommend the place. It's really nice in there, volcanoes, friendly staff (The Eddie guy knows all. Get him), volcanoes, free sample days, volcanoes. I personally go during sales, which they have every month or two generally? Holidays are often the targets of these. As other reviews say, this place is pricy. But if you ship during their sales and just buy enough for a month instead of a week, you will walk away with a better deal then most other places. read more
