All high quality and professional interactions.

Beautiful store. Definitely was a line but I went before thanksgiving so I’m sure that impacted the wait time. Looks like they had a great selection, easy to read signage, and plenty of specials for people like me on a budget.

Well, I already shared my experience. I said that Krisha or Leticia was excellent. I loved her. Everything was great. She was professional and helpful and did her job very well and I wish I could’ve given her a bigger tip.

So went inside after waiting almost 2 hours in parking lot and just shopped myself

I had herd about Harborside through a few websites and weedmaps. I was taking a trip down the coast and had to check them out, then I saw their site and watched the video ~a must see, has great footage and information~. I am always a bit skeptical of going by pictures, but the video looked great. I was in the area and went there just to stop in for a quick minute but when I got inside, it was amazing. It's a very welcoming and relaxing place . It was a great experience and I spent quite a bit of time checking out all of the cool products. They have such a clean and professional building. There is always staff around to help you and it doesn't take long to verify at all. The next part was the best. I talked to one of the many bud-tenders and he was very personable and knowledgeable about the medication and the many helpful uses. After listening to my issues he showed me some of the Sour Diesel and Mendo Blackberry. I also liked the Super Jack but then I moved on to concentrates. I got some Jack Herer Oil and and some Sirius Keif. He pointed out the Fugitol Brownie for sleep and pain. I though I could handle just about anything Cannabis related, but wow, just wow, I was asleep within 2 hours! I was very impressed. The have a big open space with plenty of room for everyone. I love that they offer FREE Massage, Acupuncture, Yoga Classes. Self Defense and much more. The staff was absolutely wonderful. They all seem very passionate and compassionate, and very informed. The prices could be better, considering how much product they have and the amount of patients, however, they make up for it testing all of the medications in their own Analytical Laboratory where they test the percentage of contents and everything was clearly labeled. And the atmosphere It was like a holistic pharmacy. I was extremely please with my visit and wish I lived closer, but when I am in the area again I will definitely return! I have already recommended it to a few patients I know in the area, and would defiantly only bring good friends. The clones were very beautiful; and well taken are of. Thank you for having such phenomenal and intelligent people working in your shop. I hope more collectives follow in your footsteps and remove the stigma attached the Cannabis use. When I come back to the area I will definitely return!

I have come to Harborside Oakland and San Jose many times and have to say it keeps getting better! From the front to the back their system is very efficient. I like the Bogglegum 2011 cannabis cup award that they have displayed in San Jose it adds a nice touch to an already impressive facility. The building from when you walk in is immaculate. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly. The products offered and the manner in which they are displayed I find to be easily accessible to patients. Some might find some of the prices high but not everything is so expensive and you have to pick and choose what makes sense for you. Just having access to such a wide variety of products, and strains in a professorial setting that is clean is worth the extra money. As I would imagine it takes money to have things run as smoothly as they do here @ Harborside Health Center. I am greatful to be a member at Harborside... Which is one of few if not the only dispensary that will not buckle and back down under pressures from the government. They made a commitment six years or so ago to their patients to provide them with access to safe medication in a safe environment and will do whatever they can to keep their commitment. It's like they were prepared and anticipating these conflicts to arise at some point and its very smart to have a legal strategy and defense to defend what makes sense and is so important to so many of us. Not just crumbling under pressure and turning their backs on their patients. We all really are a part of something special here at Harborside and I truly hope that this is a monumentally groundbreaking case for the fight for weed freedom. Good luck in October!

I went to Harborside as a vendor today, and it blew every other dispensary I have been to in Northern California out of the water! From the parking lot to the purchase counter to the vendors' orientation, I was treated with class and professionally. I love the fact that they test ALL of their meds before they put them out for sale. This is my new favorite dispensary in Oakland! Very potent hash and salves, and the Lamb's Breath was delicious. If you're a vendor, I suggest going here just for the experience and to get knowledge about the market in that area.

Had another great experience @ Harborside health center. Enjoyed conversation with my budtender while selecting some Tahoe OG clones. Was again blown away by the cleanliness and professionalism of the staff at HHC. Thank you for the continued great service and satisfaction. Take care now!

Stopped in recently to pick up some babies. Harborside has a nice selection of clones many Indica's and Sativia's and hybrids to choose from. The best fit for me was Agent Orange which is a 50/50 Hybrid it has a 55 -65 day flowering time and is a heavy yeilder. Agent Oranges comes from Local Orange Skunk x Jacks Cleaner x Space Queen. Agent Orange has the ability to turn maroon, and plum purple magenta at the end of her life cycle. Looking forward to this. The clones were all nice healthy looking with nice roots. My budtender wore rubber gloves when handling the clones and packaged them in a way that the plants didn't mind. I appreciated the fact that my budtender was knowledgeable and was a grower herself.

Best club ive ever been to in all aspects, I recomend to all Enjoy......

I mean.... you deserve the stars but the tax on my meds 😔

[A+] Soma :) I was staying by the Oakland convention center and really wanted to go down to embarcadero to check out this health center... my parents were going out to eat that night so i suggested a restaurant right next to this shop. The place was big and the address was easy to see, i took a cab so i didn’t park but parking looked great... the security guard out front checked my recommendation and let me in pretty quick, my new patient papers were quick. i got a new patient tour, the facility was super nice and majestically decorated :) after my tour i was turned loose to view the flowers, clones, edibles, massage room, extracts, etc... i loved their selection and the staff is very helpful :) i wish i didn’t live 7 hours away from this dank shop... great medicine, great prices, and overall great environment. i can’t wait until I’m back in Oakland :) SOMA A+ = deep, rich, fruity aroma, frosty dank look, purple nuggs, great earthy taste, with fruity hints // deep intense indica body buzz, high CBD%... long lasting, great 100% indica medicine... HASHWRECK = purple frosty nuggs, fruity skunky aroma, great taste // mostly indica buzz, heavy hitting, long lasting, great potent medicine... PURPLE FIRE x HEADBAND = wow, bomb purple frosty look, skunky smelling, purple taste with hints of spice and citrus :) // great uplifting sativa buzz, strong long lasting indica buzz, potent relaxing medicine... THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY SHOP AND EVERYONE WITH A RECCOMENDATION SHOULD STOP BY IF EVER IN THE BAY AREA, THE VERIFICATION AND TOUR TAKES A LITTLE TIME SO DONT GO IF YOUR IN A HURRY, BUT TAKE THE TIME TO ENJOY THIS TRUE JEMM :) GREAT HELPFUL STAFF, DANK EVERYTHING, THANKS HARBORSIDE HEALTH CENTER :) -jake

From the moment i walked in the door to the moment i walked out i was extremely comfortable and very pleased with the whole experience. When you enter, you fill out the usual paperwork and are then given a tour of the whole dispensary. There's an area od the dispensary where patients can do activism work and receive a free gram for an hour of volunteer work. That is a really nice way to help people who dont have the extra money but need meds to get their meds. Also they have a library of books to choose from and rent out about medicinal marijuana and alternative medicine. On top of all these amazing services they have, they also have massages, heral alternative classes, doctors appts, and growing classes patients can sign up for on site. Besides everything else, the buds are top notch quality. They are the first dispensary in the world to test their medicine for pesticides and it seems like an amazing idea. I chose a potent sativa (Cindy 99) which really did its job and kept me medicated throughly the whole time i had it. Also they have many, many employees there as to assist all patients individually. My favorite collective in the world!!!

I was in love at first site with HHC I was treated super well at first and always had great bud tenders!!! I feel like after weed wars the show they went down hill like they got there name out and now no longer have to respect people! Medicating at work for a budtender is unprofessional and sadly expected here. I have never coped a attitude towards a tender anywhere!!! But the other day I left my meds and told they guy to f#*k off! Went to sparc in sf got great service instead spent less got more

This place is the real deal. Don't let the occasional bad review (written by a moron who was having a bad day) deter you from this TOP notch dispensary. Yes, it is pricey, but that's for the BEST MEDS, AND sweet parking, SAFE environment, quick check in, and friendly/knowledgeable staff. I've been going here for YEARS, and have been to dozens others in the bay area region, none of which come close.

What is up Oakland!!!!! Top 20 reviewer in the house:0 I was stuck on weed wars when it was on and finally got a chance to visit Harborside with my Compa who is a MMJ card holder. Wow I was blown away with this shop,I felt like Charlie bucket on Willy Wonka:) paperwork took a bit but the line moved pretty fast. I wish we had real shops like this in SoCal(909) This is how you run a shop,next time I'm up again for a Raider game you can bet I'll be back to HarborSide! I can't put it into words how your meds made me feel:) Truely the Best out there guys! - The Cane Man -

For all the naysayers out there who are complaining about this place probably do not need cannabis for medical issues. If you are truly sick, this is the place for medication. The staff can recommend the type of cannabis you may need according to your illness. The brothers are doing a good job here and the staff is well informed about strains. They do not carry my favorite edibles at this location, but they do in the San Jose dispensary. The ganja goodies are absolutely the best cannabis edible I have ever ate so when I go to San Jose, I stock up. I only wish I didn't have to go to San Jose for my edibles. :(. I get my cannabis medication from Oakland Harborside but I have to go to SanJose Harborside for my edible medication. Please brothers, carry ganja goodies for me and others as it's a long drive to San Jose when you have a back as bad as mine and the pain is awful due to the commute.

Well organized. From munchables to smokables all top quality products. The menu was well priced and we didn’t have a problem paying for anything items we needed acquire. Excellent service, quick expedient staff members are standing by ready to direct you order. Exceptionally comfortable atmosphere that was personally easy for me to relax. We need have any problems parking. Harborside is a must.

Upon arriving, I was greeted outside by friendly security. I entered, had my paperwork processed, and was whisked away on a tour that amazed me; you have to see it for yourself. I picked up some amazing Lime (I) and had a pleasant night. This is not only the dispensary of all dispensaries; It’s a utopia.

The best hands down. Best bud, chill atmosphere with irie music. Cant beat one on one customer service. conveniently off the freeway. 65 cap but you get a glass jar... worth it. even the lower price strains are better than most anywhere. Go here if you are within 3 hours driving distance.
