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 However, I have been met with and overheard Robert Braun, Jason Bandalan, and Cameron Anderson using outdated and discriminatory language towards employees on several occasions.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.

My go to spot. They have never done me wrong. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Very modern and trendy atmosphere. This is not some hole in the wall back alley spot. They always have a good selection of buds, concentrates and edibles. And they also have a loyalty program just ask the budtender.

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!

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

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!

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.

Excellent location, very professional atmosphere. Their C02 wax is some serious stuff, would recommend to anyone. Especially when they have it on sale or in a bundle.

They were so friendly. So professional. Felt like I was in an Apple store. I will be going there again. I feel like I can really relate to these ppl and felt welcome. My new primary spot.

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.

Used to only go here, but they have gotten greedy. Tax now added on top of price, specials aren't what was advertised and bud tenders even tell you how to talk. Hate this place now!

Awesome staff, location and product! Will definitely be coming to Caliva anytime I need medication!

This dispensary's FB page is a bunch of fake reviews from their staff and a social media marketing company before the dispensary even opened. It seems like they have removed the other negative review left on here which strangely was also my experience today. Rude security guard, rude manager. I couldn't be bothered putting up with their behavior so I left. Plenty of other options. As I said to the security guard as I was leaving, behaving the way they behave only ensures they will go out of business. I will never go back again and I live within a mile of this place. Don't waste your time. There are plenty of friendly dispensaries in San Jose that don't treat their patients like criminals. Avoid this place. It deserves to go out of business. It seems like it is run by a corporation that wants to cash in on medical cannabis rather than offer a service to patients.
