Terrible service. Rude desk employee. I have brought in my new paperwork several times, only to have that information "not be in their system" so I have to leave and come back with my paperwork, even though they tell me every time that I don't need to anymore. Today was the last time. The lady at the front was rude to the person in front of me, just because he was asking a lot of questions and was clearly new to the MMJ scene. She snapped at me saying that I lied about coming in with my new paperwork because my account expired. It hasn't. CBCB will no longer have my business. In the growing market of delivery and dispensaries that attitude and way they treat people is unacceptable. 0 stars and I will be using one of the MANY other options in the East Bay.

I really love the CBCB. It is modern and fully stocked. The prices are great and they often have specials. They give a preroll or edible for every fifty bucks purchased. The service is hit or miss. The security guys are quick to recognize you by face, and checking in is quick and easy. The check-in atmosphere is a bit rugged. Service is 90% hit, 10% miss. Nine times out of ten, the bud tender is quick to make recommendations, ask questions about personal preferences and experiences, and walk you through something if you only kind of know what you're talking about. The other one time out of ten, you get Shruggy McShruggerson shrugging his way through the transaction. The quality of bud hasn't let me down yet. They have everything. A great rotation, a great variety of methods to take cannabis, an organized menu, quality paraphernalia, and helpful bud tenders. Highly recommended for a visit.

This is by far my favorite dispensary. Amanda is wonderful and so knowledgable. If you are looking for something different/new, you can sit down with her and get recommendations based on what you have tried. Either way, all the staff knows their stuff 100%. They grow their own products here as well, but have a truly large and varied menu. They also do product demos frequently. It can get a bit full since its so popular. So be sure to visit during low traffic times. Several lines and you can order online and pick up at the store. There is also a line for people who know exactly what they want to order.

It has a broad selection of edibles, concentrates and flower. It's selection of quality accessories is excellent. The staff is good but they won't be a proactive salesperson unless you ask them. It'd be nice to be greeted and the staff start the sale with some info about what's on the board's, what's hot, the specials, or that there's a workshop that starts in 20 minutes so patients might attend. You know, communicate. The lounge and DJ setup are under-used. The parking is a disruption mess for the neighborhood - I wonder how long before the neighbor's start causing a ruckus over it. More than anything it needs to make it policy to not serve anyone that brings someone along to stand on the corner or sidewalk or sitting in the car -- it's turning the neighborhood into a weed hang-out zone. I have a love hate relationship with cbcb.

Folks here are so attentive and helpful. Nice and spacious, so my agoraphobia is barely triggered. I'd go again.

I have been a medical patient here for years, but since they have been serving adult non-medical customers, the service has deteriorated. They separate the lines from medical to recreational, which results in extremely long waits. I was there this morning, and the recreational line was moving quickly, but the medical line wasn't moving at all. Instead of calling a medical patient to the counter, they called and served five adult recreational patients while the medical patients waited in a line that did not move. I asked if I could move to the shorter line that was moving, but I was told by a security guard that I could not do that, in spite of the fact that I am an adult resident of California. When I finally reached the counter, they called me to the adult recreational line, so clearly they can take medical patients on that side of the store. It appears that CBCB is NOT interested in serving the medical community any more, and instead is focused on making money on the recreational side. I'd rather drive to the city. A simple solution would be to make one line and serve customers in the order they were received, but that apparently is too complicated for this place.

I have been to CBCB at least ten times. The service is really terrible. I know we are working with a dispensary here. However, a lot of the employees are super stoned, rude, short, and extremely unhelpful. The guards are bad people to deal with if they have to do anything regarding traffic in their own parking lot. They can't even maintain their lines during peak hours. The only thing this place has, is a large selection of product. Good luck.

The menu isn't updated enough to show the frequently changing lowest price bud. They also don't offer the student discount on their lower/lowest price items. CBCB isn't located near the freeway and parking is mostly residential, not to mention difficult to find during busy hours. But here are some reasons, you may want to come to CBCB: - Consistency & Quality for Top Shelf Options - Quality & Variety for High-Mid Grade Options - Usually have a $15 1/8 though you may not see it online - Quality concentrate options & good variety (Including Gold Drop) - Wide Range of Edibles & Solid Selection of Topicals - Service varies from great to satisfactory, although frequency & familiarity with staff seem to affect the level of service you receive - They offer many other services & groups/events both informational & otherwise

They take credit here, but it is very, very slow: two of the three registers are usually occupied by your grandmother, who is here as a tourist, and the third by an excitable UCB student. The line is poorly defined and unmonitored, so you may be smashed into the wall so that the person in front can stay 20ft from the counter. The medicine is fine, (if priced and organized confusingly), and some of the staff try to pretend they care, but there's nothing they can do; it's just a badly designed shop.

They screw over berkeley customers compared to phytolog. customers. example can get 35 1/2oz indica special at phytolog, but no deal at CBCB even though same owners etc if you go to their other company in oakland much better prices and services. its a shame CBCB screws over customers charging them more

This place is very friendly and I have never had to deal with any unfriendly or grumpy people. Including the security people outside. They are very helpful and have answered all my question, giving me great advice on different things to try.

The second I walked out of the waiting and into the main sales area, I was shocked at how nice and calm the atmosphere was. I like the free coffee and excellent customer service! I am going back again and again. Also the menu was EXTENSIVE. The lab tested concentrates really impressed me too.
