The Apothecarium - Castro

Friendly staff and atmosphere.

Great friendly staff & extremely organized

Great club! Really good selection and staff is super helpful and friendly! Prices arent the best but atmosphere and quality of meds is worth it

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

Have been a patient at Apothecarium for over two years and have not been to a dispensary with better quality and better service and patient care/services love everyone there definitely go to the Apothecarium if you are in the Bay Area and don't mind donating a little more to have the highest quality medicine selection in SF

friendly staff

Friendly, attentive, and honest staff that is welcoming and helpful to find you what you need

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.

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.

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

My favorite club in all of SF

Really helpful for someone just getting started and a great quality selection in a very nice location

Easy access, right in the middle of the city

The quality of the meds was really good. I remember I was sick the day I went, so I got these lozenges that were medicated, and they worked great! They seemed to have pretty top shelf/high quality strains. I didn't like the atmosphere, because it seemed too professional and up-tight. I felt like I couldn't relax in the environment of this place, because everyone just seemed so serious. Also, I remember they had a very lengthy list of rules that you HAD to follow, or else. One of them was that you couldn't sit at the counter for a certain length of time (I forget how long they said). In my opinion, you should be able to take your time selecting your medicine. It shouldn't be an in the door out the door type process. The atmosphere was boring, dull, and too serious for my taste. I like to become friends with the people working the counter, or at least I'd like to be able to get advice from them or hold a nice conversation. It put me off that they had a "menu" that barely had all their products on it, and that you were expected to have studied before you went up to get your medicine. One of the strains I was really hoping for was actually out of stock, but still on the "menu", so I was frustrated.. If you want good quality medicine and don't care about the vibe of the place, or demeanor of the people serving you, then this place is great for you. Also, some strains had pretty low prices, but only a couple.

This place is relatively small but it's super clean and I have to say the staff is the friendliest I've come across. The selection is pretty extensive and the guy that helped me(spelling) Barrett was very knowledgable and patient. I will definitely be a regular here.

Great space, really courteous and professional staff--top quality.

I loved the location, the atmosphere, the comfortable, well furnished, and very good looking facility. The black and white wood walls and floor make you feel as if your at a nice small restaurant. The staff was patient, curious and very friendly. They where also knowledgeable and could easily answer any and all questions. They quality of all their products was excellent and they have a wide selection of products at a decent range of prices but they tend to be s bit on the expensive side at times. This has been my go favorite and steady dispensary since I got my card 6 months ago and they also offer a veterans discount and have special promotions and veterans club area of their site so if your a vet like me definitely check it out. You just need your VA ID card or DD214. The only place I like better than here and whose selection,price range and more I like just a bit more is the Barbary coast, where even their $45 1/4 where better in quality than the $40-$45 8ths I've seen at a handful of places and the staff & building are amazing similar to the apothecary

Super classy interior, good selection. Pretty expensive.

Amazing service and recommendations.

Went to visit Sanfransisco, and I have to say this business knows what they're doing. Very well organized and it appeared that it was a very high regulated and protected facility. The employees seem to have masters degrees and are very well aware of how to treat their patients for whatever needs they may have.

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.

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.

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.

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.
