The best dispensary throughout time and space! EVERYBODY here is AWESOME, HELLA friendly and SUPER knowledgeable! It's the cleanest and most organized club I'll ever visit! Keep up the amazing work!

Caliva is a nice high end shop, good selection of flower and knowledgeable friendly staff. Checkin was a breeze, first time gift is a token for an edible or preroll the next time you visit. The shop only had three sativa strains, but it's been hard to find a good selection of sativa flower in South Bay lately. I bought viper cookies and red alien; viper cookies was a lovely clear, alert high that settled into a comfy body buzz. Knowledgeable staff, and no tipping allowed. I'll be back to this shop.

Just moved to this area from Washington and Caliva blew me away. Clean, organized, relaxed atmosphere and some of the best buds in the South Bay. THC content available for most buds, and both mid and top shelf have a lot to offer. Budtenders always really chill and want to help. All around great setup, thanks Caliva.

Aside from their mouse infestation (they are frequently found in bins eating edibles), the management staff at Caliva in Brisbane is cruel and abusive. I used to work in the building there and the drivers and depot staff are fantastic. However, I have been met with and overheard Robert Braun, Jason Bandalan, and Cameron Anderson using outdated and discriminatory language towards employees on several occasions. Order from Caliva if you want to keep paying these bigots' way too high salaries.

I think it's a great looking place but they had issues with locating my membership at first which delayed my entry. Then when I got some help at the counter I was hoping the gentlemen would mention the Labor Day deals but he said nothing. I intended to spend around $90 on a few variation of items. My first and foremost need though was a concentrate for my vaporizer and he couldn't think of anything good. The first time I went they had CBD for vapes/mods but apparently were sold out today. He then recommends a concentrate by wonder that is 1:1 CBD to thc. I continued to ask about other edible options that are vegan and he says they have none. I could of sworn Caliva had that option when I was there last. So I just agree to go with his suggestion and then want to get bud but realize I get a free gram. Cool I then debate on my final item but never asked/never was told the price of the concentrate and he tells me it's a whopping $85. Holy moly, I almost got mad but didn't want to make him feel like a dick so I said ok I'll buy these two products and be on my way. I feel like he pushed me towards a really expensive product which doesn't even work well with my Vape. Left disappointed and now with a migraine when going over things in my head. Technically my second visit but was my first purchase because I didn't bring Cash.

Beautiful and thoughtful ambiance inside. Excellent customer service in and out.
I'm horrible with names, but my first visit I was greeted by who I think was a manager and we spoke for a while about the variety of products available. She was extremely informative, patient, and welcoming. Every visit I've had with budtenders there have been helpful and super friendly. They care about their brand and it shows. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

I love the location because it is close to my work. I love the weekly e-mail discounts that you give your customers. The staff is ALWAYS nice and helpful. The girls in the front are always happy to see you. And of course you have the best bus in town!

I've been coming to Caliva for about 6 months now, and never once have I been disappointed. The bud is always of the highest quality, and the staff is friendly and great with any specific questions you may have. Their super lemon haze is probably my all time favorite strain, it keeps me lifted without knocking me out. 10/10 would recommend

Thus place is beautiful. Staff is awesome. They just opened so Patients need to understand that it does take a little time to establish good vending relationships. Which is very necessary in order to provide their patients with the best possible medication. As a new patient I highly recommend not only checking this place out but also keep coming back and support them. You will find that there inventory will progressively become more significant.

First place I signed up for and I'm so glad I did. I am always impressed by Caliva! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always welcoming. The store itself is beautiful and clean and they have the best selection of quality products in the South Bay. I highly recommend Caliva if you're looking for a professional collective.

I’ve gone here before but after today I’m honestly done spending my money and time here. This morning I decided to save myself time and order online for pick up to avoid the line. I get there to pick up my order and it couldn’t be found. So they put my order together on the spot. Once I got home I realized the edible I order which is advertised on their website for 100mg and also on the packaging which was covered up by a label which read 80mgs that’s a notable difference. Now to top it off the cartridge I purchased which is also advertised online as 91 percent THC only to get it and it states 82 percent. I even called about the situation and their response was they will let the edible brand know and management.My advice is if you go here make sure you see the product and check the labels

Caliva has great customer service and good quality products, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I wish the website broke out indicas from sativa and gave more description on the effects of the flowers.

Great people. Great weed. Ok prices.

I have been coming to this store now for a few months and have had virtually no issues. They have some really top notch buds. However, they can't keep some stuff on the shelf for a long time. I guess that's weed right?
I picked up some Blue Dream and it felt amazing. i was back in highschool for sure. my lady got a couple of pre-rolls. Good weed for watching tv.

Very nice store. It was my first visit here and I was given a very warm welcome to the establishment. Looking at the surrounding area outside of the building, I was surprised to see such a clean and stylish interior as I walked in. It's like finding a pretty oasis in the midst of the sweltering desert.

3 orders each time took over an hour just to receive an eta of 3 more hours. Communication sucks really bad .
1st order 4 hours
2nd order 3 hours
3rd order was a no show with no call or text or anything. Jay z should be embarrassed to operate the worst club in the bay. And that sucks because they have good meds.
First they blamed the time frames on the pandemic which was a lie to my face because if you look through reviews 6 months back people are saying the times are bad and they are not even showing up . I’d stay clear unless you want to waste your time on meds that won’t show .and to pull this crap the day before 420 is pathetic.

Beautiful place! I had an Excellent first time experience here! Bryan was my budtender and we probably talked through my first purchase here for about an hour. It wasn't very busy at the hour that I visited but I still got the impression that the customer experience is extremely important to Caliva because from the moment I walked up to the entrance everyone was very friendly and personable. Check in was simple and easy and the receptionists were friendly and polite. Walking inside the dispensary sales floor was amazing the atmosphere is modern sleek and designed to feel welcoming and positive. I really enjoyed feeling comfortable and not rushed. Bryan and I went through many products and I ended up buying flower that they grow on the premises. Their flower looked and smelled great and the price points are just right for this product.
I'm very happy with my experience and I think Caliva has a loyal customer if the herb is as good as the customer experience!
