Super efficient! In and out in less than 10 minutes, which is remarkable for any dispensary. Walked in for the first time and received multiple discounts without even asking. Very friendly, great service.

As a frequent customer of The Apothecarium I must say Im quite pleased with my past experiences over the course of the new year. The staff are knowledgeable and polite. They offer a sufficient variety of different strains, prerolls, and edibles. The lowest price for an eigth at this dispensary is typically $30 before taxes. With that said they also offer a student discount to Cal students across the street and BCC students a few blocks down. It does seem super corporate, as another reviewer noted, but its hard not to sense a feel of community when the budtenders remember your name and what youre typically interested in. Id highly recommend this spot to my friends.

Went here to check out the newest addition to the cannabis row of Berkeley. Sadly, these guys just dont really fit in to the vibe of Berkeley. Yes, it is fancy looking, but its just got a super corporate vibe. They are owned by a large Canadian conglomerate and its hard not to see them as Big Cannabis. Nothing mom-and-pop about it.Anyhow! You cant even browse the products at your own leisure, you MUST talk to a consultant at the counter. For an introvert like myself, this ends up being quite annoying! Be prepared to wait for your turn to shop while others hang out chatting at the counter for far too long. It took me 15 minutes to get in the door with only 2 customers ahead of me. Whos got time for that?Now to the biggest disappointment: the selection!They only had like 10 total concentrates on their menu (not one rosin) and about 15 flowers. Hi-Fidelity down the street has a MINIMUM of 40-50 flowers options at a time as well as a staggering array of live resins, rosins and cold water hashes, a vast edibles selection and a wide variety of cannabinoid-specific products (cbd, cbn, thcv, etc).Sorry, but you guys REALLY need to step up your game.

Great experience. The store is absolutely beautiful.
