Just had the worst shopping experience of my life. Me and several people I know I’ve been using coastal for years now. I am (was) a regular customer, and I always tip well. The security guard working tonight on 9/13 at 8 PM accosted me and made me feel like a criminal. As I handed my ID to check in as I always have, he stared at me with a death stare and asked me very awkwardly how I was doing. I said fine. He continued staring at me directly very awkwardly and asked me again how I was doing and how my day was I said fine thank you. He then said he would not allow me into the store because I was not sober. Now… how would you act if somebody is staring at you awkwardly and repeatedly asking you asinine questions? Probably pretty awkward. I was completely sober. I am not sure I will be giving this place my business ever again

Customer service is lacking

The guy working today with the glasses very rude to all how customers. I would suggest additional training in customer service and attitude adjustment

We'll address this with our team and ensure additional training and support are provided. Your experience matters to us, and we hope to have the chance to do better next time.

Bring back your cheap weed!

When your charging at much for a single gram as a decent 1/8th from house! There’s something wrong with that!You know damn well if any of your staff walked in any Other dispensary with your prices they’d wanna walk out too! $25 grams plus $6 state and city tax...how could you feel good about ripping off the community. The only people who are willing to pay that price our foreign exchange students aren’t even from this country and spend all of their mommy and daddy‘s money! Hope you’re business can stay afloat

Good afternoon Gothboiclique420, hope all has been well with you. I was grateful to see that you had given us a 5 star review but upon reading your experience description; it seems that the positive review was a mistake and that you actually left unhappy about our pricing options. We have been paying close attention to our reviews, comments and complaints and are working on different promotions, specials and deals including a whole new membership designed to give you more exciting sales opportunities. We hope that if you have a chance to try us again that you’ll see how hard we’re working to make up for any prior wrongdoings. Thank you for taking the time to review us and we hope you have a lovely rest of your day!

Awesome Ambiance

Coastal is a friendly, welcoming environment with knowledgable staff and a beautiful ambiance. Must try: Vegan lemon-drop gummies! I also purchased a great product for my dog. He loves it and it mellows him right out. Will definitely go back next time I visit Santa Barbara!

Recreational dispensary at its finest. Excellent service, great products, and a beautiful downtown location. No more trips to the seedy shops of Goleta. A blessing for downtown!

Amazing deals , great service, so many options

I have been to this shop a couple of times now and each visit I am greeted by the most friendly group of people that I’ve ever experienced buying Cannabis. I’ve had a Med card for 3 years now and have become all to used to the gross dungeon atmosphere that most shops opt for with employees that almost despise you for taking up their time. At Coastal I was immediately helped and assisted in finding a product that fit what I wanted for my experience. I settled on some gummies with a lower thc and higher cbd and enjoyed the mellow body high with mental clarity. I really enjoyed not being pushed towards the more expensive or higher thc products, and the staff really placed the focus on helping me enjoy my high. Thanks Coastal!!

Quality Bud Great Location

Never had a problem at Coastal, everyone's always super nice location looks great and has a solid selection. Also to the debit card people complaining. Yes it sucks but it’s what the storefronts have to do to circumvent fed restrictions. They can’t directly take debit card transactions so they do an ATM type pull. Just use cash like we always have and you’ll have no issues.

Infinaeon805

Hey, Infinaeon805. You are so awesome for writing such a thoughtful review! I'm so happy to hear that you never have any problems here. If that ever changes, please do not hesitate to reach out to someone here so we can fix any wrongdoings or mistakes. I also appreciate your understanding in regards to our debit card charge; it's meant to be an added convenience but I can see how the added fee can seem to be a lot in order for us to pay the debit/ATM fee on our part as well. In the meantime, we strive to keep incredible customers like you happy throughout each visit. Have a great rest of your day!

Gorgeous space & friendly staff

What an amazing, well located space right in the heart of lower state street! 6000sf of gorgeous space, a fantastic variety, and friendly staff. If you’re new to medical or recreational cannabis products they don’t make you feel like a dummy; they’re helpful and supportive. They also carry a great selection of local beers infused with CBD/THC - be sure to try one!
