Love this place, even if a little pricey. High quality products and very helpful staff. It's like Nordstrom's for weed.

I think the Apothecarium regularly has the best flowers of pretty much anywhere in SF that I've been other than Harborside. I'm not saying that they actually ARE the best flowers, but they are bigger, more potent smelling, and just consistently awesome.

Great service. The staff is very professional and helpful. Selection is amazing and the quality is great. A ways from me but definitely worth the drive!

Dope spot for trees. Prices should be more reasonable.

I literally just got my card yesterday and went straight here. Staff was friendly and very informative. I got a tin of chocolate covered espresso beans that were delicious and gave me a calm, focused, but energetic buzz. I got a refill for my vape pen that I have not tried yet, and they gave me a free rice crispy treat. Will definitely come back.

Absolutely the nicest staff anywhere - and not just pot places, these people are so friendly and helpful. L

I am very impressed by the atmosphere of professionalism and service. You cannot medicate on the premises, and this place is essentially a dispensary, not a club. Some may find it too antiseptic, cold or genteel — but these are all qualities I admire in a business. The quality of the flowers is exceptional, and the prices are reasonable for the city. The budtender was generous with his scale, which counts for a lot in my opinion.

Amazing service and recommendations.

This place is great and their prices have improved somewhat since my first visit. The service is great most of the time but it can be a little snooty sometimes.

Super classy interior, good selection. Pretty expensive.

I've been going here since I got my card and it's been amazing since. In all fairness, because they set the bar so high for me I haven't myself needing to go elsewhere. The man at the front door nicely referred me to where I can get my card (which was a block and a half away). They then helped a fairly ignorant person to pot (me) find the best medicine for shoulder pain and sleeping problems. And first timers get a little freebie! They honestly made my first experience pretty amazing and nothing's changed since for the last four months.

Simply the best. Some of the highest quality medicine anywhere in the city and prices are honestly fairly reasonable for what you're getting. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and the location doesn't leave you feeling grimy. Bonus points for accepting credit cards and FREE DELIVERY(!). Love it.

Great atmosphere, 1x1 service, friendly yet professional setting. Very knowledgable & friendly staff. Great selection, hides their CBD off the menu to reserve for needy patients, great freebies ($85 spent gets you free pre-roll, point system for free gift certificate, holiday deals, etc.). This place also holds free classes and talks about the medicine. My only complaint is the suggested donation amounts. I think this is the most expensive club I've been too, but great quality & overall experience

These guys have such a good selection, staff, and quality that every time I pass through San Francisco I have to stop here. Their buds are the frostiest I have ever gotten from a club, the buds looked like they were covered in fur. This club provides the standard medical quality. Prices are relatively high but for good reason: the quality is so much better than other places I have found. What really impressed me was their attitude: They take care of their patients needs first.

From the outside of the shop, you wouldn't think much of it but upon entering, it feels classy. First, they helped me with getting an appointment for same day approval and verifying that I had all of my paperwork in order to get my medical marijuana card approved.
With their help, I felt it only made sense to prepay them by returning to their dispensary to make a purchase.
The budtender I dealt with was amazingly patient with a noob like me and helped with advice on what to get and when to use it. I walked out with two cartridges, a chocolate bar, a free pre-roll and 10% off. Not bad for maybe ten minutes of effort. I will definitely return again because they made me feel very welcome.
