I’ve been going to The Apothecarium for years! They always display exceptional customer service and have a great menu to choose from.

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!

been here plenty of times awesome customer rewards, great staff, super friendly very helpful great recommendations. Just tell them what you're planning on doing and they can hook you up with the right dank for the mood. The weed is much wow.

Dope spot for trees. Prices should be more reasonable.

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.

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.

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

Awesome staff!

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.

A model of how things should and will be, redolent of the sort of small-town friendly and attentive pharmacy I grew up with. The staff is also knowledgeable, and jocular, their spirit reflected in the faces of fellow clients.

Such a pleasant dispensary. Knowledgeable people, easy-going, and great vibe throughout.

I came in with my husband for the first time and we both agree: We love the space, Renee was my bud tender and she was very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful in making my selection. Definitely will be coming back.

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.

I will definately go back. The service is exemptional, the staff was helpful in picking a new strain to help with my anxiety and creative block, they have a great selection of strains all you have to do is pick the effect you need.That plus the art in the walls and the decoration made for a great experience.

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

I have mixed feelings on this one. The guy handling all the paperwork was very snarky. He caught himself a couple times but it still was unnecessary. The guy that helped us was very nice and informative. But a couple of the other guys that I overheard was snarky too. The decor was nice. But the location is small and not a lot of sitting area. The selection was good. The quality so far seems good as well.

Ty has great costumer service, really explains all of the flower in detail makes my trip at the dispensary a great experience

Meh. Went for a specific strain advertised on their menu, but they didn't have it. Asked for a heavy hitting indica for night time anxiety and insomnia. Got a pure sativa with heavy anxiety side effects instead. No first time patient bonus. :/ Staff was very friendly, but not super helpful beyond "yeah, that's a good one". I like the theme they're going for, but feels more like a Davidoff without the selection. There are too many better, less expensive dispensaries in the area. Will probably skip this place in the future.

My favorite club in all of SF
