I have been a long-time customer of this business. I prepaid for a delivery that was confirmed for the same night. The money was immediately taken from my account. The delivery never arrived. When I contacted customer service, I was told there was no solution other than waiting until morning—despite the fact that the company already had my money and my order. The response was dismissive and condescending, as though this was a minor inconvenience rather than a failure to deliver a prepaid product. This is the third significant customer-service issue I’ve experienced here, which is unfortunate because I deliberately chose this business as a repeat customer and specifically to support a women-owned company. Unfortunately, this experience cured me of that loyalty. If a business cannot reliably deliver a prepaid order—or treat customers with basic professionalism—my money will go elsewhere. Especially in this economy.

Fantastic

I usually don't leave comments for anything, but this place is really great. I recently went to 40 archers and felt cheated out of my money. I got on this site did a little looking around and came across this place. It was a bus ride away closer to my home and just the prices that i was looking to spend. I highly recommend this place.

Great experience

I just got my doctor’s rec recently and a friend suggested I check out CBCB. I have been out of this scene for at least 10 years so it was a little intimidating going back in with all the new stuff available. CBCB was fantastic. It is the only dispensary I have ever been to but I feel no need to go elsewhere. I brought a friend with brain cancer there last week and will be bringing my mother there next week. I think that sums up how I feel about them and my experience but i do want to share my experience and give props to the people who made that experience so special and made me feel comfortable and welcome right away. My first time in there was overwhelming and the store was busy but Chic and Sterling talked to me and I explained that this was my first time in a dispensary. Chic and Sterling both made me feel very comfortable and talked to me about my needs and helped me find the right strains and delivery methods. They were both very knowledgeable and explained everything to me thoroughly. Alina rang me up and was also very friendly and helpful and even gave me a few free gifts for my first timer status. I came back a week later with a friend who has terrible pain from a brain tumor. He has had a doctors recommendation for over a year but was hesitant to go because the whole thing seemed intimidating and he has no interest in getting stoned - strictly pain relief. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the name of the young lady who helped him out but she did set him up with a tincture that he has since called “miraculous!” On That same visit I spoke with Christian about getting something new for myself and - just like Sterling did - he considered my needs and offered a few varieties for me to choose from and once again I walked out of there feeling very satisfied and happy with my choice of going to CBCB. I ran into Chic on that visit too and she remembered me and was super friendly and helpful too. Sorry for the epic novel-length review, but I just can’t say enough good stuff about CBCB. I love this place and can’t wait to bring my mother in next week to help her find something for the digestion problems that have been plaguing her for almost 10 years now. If you have read this whole review, I really hope you check out CBCB. Maybe you have a favorite club, or like me, you are new to this and just want to find a nice place where you won’t feel awkward or embarrassed. Either way, CBCB is definitely worth checking out.

My favorite berkeley collective as of now!

I stopped in here last night with a friend on impulse, and it was a very nice surprise. Upon walking up to the door I was greeted by a very pleasant security guard who politely asked to see my California I.D. as well as my current MMJ recommendation. He scanned over it and let us through, where we were greeted by a guy behind the main desk who obviously checks everyone in and out, and deals with new patients. I signed up and went in. Right off the bat, me and my buddy spot some cool deals. Right away I see Durban Poison for 25/8th. Like damn son that's one of my favorite strains! This place is really excellent for any donation amount, I could have gone in with 10 bucks and left with some hash that still would've left me satisfied. Really cool to see a dispensary with a wide variety of prices on all categories, rather than just the random cheap edibles or prerolls or what have you. My only gripe was a tiny bit of misinformation on the Durban Poison, not even a misinformation but it's advertised as DP but upon receiving an eighth it was a "mix" so that kinda bums me out cause I'm not a fan of tampering with a pure strain like that. BUT, with that said, it still smokes like a pure sativa so I am not really mad about it :) Budtender was a very nice girl, forget her name but it started with an S! thanks for the cool deals and cool buds i will definitely be coming back in soon!!

No Prices? Well, you're still the best...........

I assume CBCB stopped posting their menu prices because they have lower prices than ANY dispensary in the area, and therefore, are subject to sabotage from any competing dispensary. Keep in mind, though, that the law demands that any dispensary in CA be a nonprofit or cooperative. While CBCB surely is a cooperative, it is clear that most are set up for retail business (A business selling only $45 eighths is a retail business and is not in compliance with the law).

Great club - prices are good

Their pricing is in-line with wholesale prices, which are still coming down across the state due to an influx of new growers. Other clubs are still pretending weed is $4,000/lb (and they're hoping you don't find out that it is now under $2,000/lb) and continue to overcharge at $60 for an eighth while their smiling budtenders SUCK UP YOUR CASH, so its good to see a club that's still compassionate and in synch with the med movement, and not out there strictly for profit only. Buds vary in quality but there's always a good deal to be had.

Nice

I decided to check on the new changes. I am pleased, better lighting and instant gift program. Plus I noticed a few clones for sale. I went with the OG to relieve some muscle spasms and i am not disappointed. after one vaped bowl spasms have subsided.

Great Club with Great Meds!

So I recently went to CBCB after BPG was closed down with a little hesitation. I was happily surprised to find an inviting club with quality meds and a good price selection as well. I asked the staff a few questions and they seemed to know their stuff quite well. They had nothing but kind things to say about BPG and I am really glad I decided to check them out. I was also happy to see that they actually honored the veterans discount.

They always have music goin. So when your in line you fell the music and it just gets you ready. The whole staff is chill and they help with any questions. Me and my best friend like to go and medicate there it just feels right ya know.Once you go you will know what I mean..

I like it!!!!

This place has it all, from your dirt-cheap outdoors (they still pack a punch) to their wallet-busting top-shelf nuggs. Quite an establishment, too. It's huge and inviting. I haven't attended any yet, but they have nightly events like a local rec-center would have (like openmic or DJ night). It seems to be a very social place. Also, the short, brunette girl budtender is super-cool and friendly. This is now my go-to spot in Berkeley (the entire east bay, really).

Wonderful customer service

I was in a pinch and the closest location was CBCB. I'm a 1st time customer and it was right before they closed (100% my bad for not realizing is was 4/20). They let me in, the wait was relatively short, and the woman at the counter (with beautiful sparkles on the side of her face) and the woman who eventually rung me out (with the green leafy tiara) were great. After finishing my purchase and getting to the car I opened the Dreamscape 5-pack and found it was EMPTY. Yikes. I felt like I had gone crazy (since they're wrapped) and had my friends help search the car. I opened another box and there were five pre-rolls present. At this point, the store was closed and we were late to Gypsy's. I left a voicemail and sent an email. This morning I called, came in, and though I had to wait in line to speak with a manager they immediately switched the box out with a full one. To be validated and taken care of when an issue arises is what creates and keeps loyal customers so thank you all!!!!

good vibes good prices.

First time going here was good. Parking sucked. One of the few places you walk in through the back and you have room to move around you're not in as soon as you enter. All the staff seemed in good vibes. Which makes a difference. I got a free pre roll and and chocolate candy with thc in it. Also got put on points reward program. I will definitely go back. Im more of wax and shatter type of person so for me lots of choices here good pricing for different budget types. I rate it 5 stars for product being wax shatter as thats what I usually pick up.

Introduction

Founded in 1996, the Cannabis Buyers Club of Berkeley has the knowledge and experience to guide you to exactly the right product for your needs. This careful personal guidance is supported by one of the largest menus in the Bay Area: handpicked for quality, curated for taste and assembled to serve customers at every stage of their cannabis journey.

About us

In 1996 a handful of determined rebels had a dream of providing safe legal cannabis for the people. With nothing more than a rolodex full of the best farmers in Northern California, they set up operations at an anarchist bookstore across the street from our current location. Joining forces with local like-minded citizens, they worked together to help create the propositions that made the plant available to medical patients. Eventually moving into the building CBCB exists in today, we continue to provide cannabis for all. Student, teacher, senior, and veteran discounts. Home of the $7.50 eighth and 100 mg edible. Compassionate patient care programs. Low income assistance. The Cannabis Buyers Club of Berkeley still specializes in the same empathy and care that it was founded on, while staying on the forefront of cannabis science. We look forward to you becoming a part of our family.
