The Apothecarium - Castro

Have been a patient at Apothecarium for over two years and have not been to a dispensary with better quality and better service and patient care/services love everyone there definitely go to the Apothecarium if you are in the Bay Area and don't mind donating a little more to have the highest quality medicine selection in SF

I came in with my husband for the first time and we both agree: We love the space, Renee was my bud tender and she was very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful in making my selection. Definitely will be coming back.

Always super friendly and helpful. love this place!

friendly staff

Great experience, leslie was very knowledgeable and patient. Veteran friendly I definitely will be going back..

These guys have such a good selection, staff, and quality that every time I pass through San Francisco I have to stop here. Their buds are the frostiest I have ever gotten from a club, the buds looked like they were covered in fur. This club provides the standard medical quality. Prices are relatively high but for good reason: the quality is so much better than other places I have found. What really impressed me was their attitude: They take care of their patients needs first.

I've been a medical marijuana user for over 5 years and have visited countless dispensaries all across the state. This place is definitely one of the nicest I've been to. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good selection of quality products and fair prices. I'll definitely be back here.

Such a pleasant dispensary. Knowledgeable people, easy-going, and great vibe throughout.

Friendly, attentive, and honest staff that is welcoming and helpful to find you what you need

This place is great and their prices have improved somewhat since my first visit. The service is great most of the time but it can be a little snooty sometimes.

Ty has great costumer service, really explains all of the flower in detail makes my trip at the dispensary a great experience

My favorite club in all of SF

The quality of the meds was really good. I remember I was sick the day I went, so I got these lozenges that were medicated, and they worked great! They seemed to have pretty top shelf/high quality strains. I didn't like the atmosphere, because it seemed too professional and up-tight. I felt like I couldn't relax in the environment of this place, because everyone just seemed so serious. Also, I remember they had a very lengthy list of rules that you HAD to follow, or else. One of them was that you couldn't sit at the counter for a certain length of time (I forget how long they said). In my opinion, you should be able to take your time selecting your medicine. It shouldn't be an in the door out the door type process. The atmosphere was boring, dull, and too serious for my taste. I like to become friends with the people working the counter, or at least I'd like to be able to get advice from them or hold a nice conversation. It put me off that they had a "menu" that barely had all their products on it, and that you were expected to have studied before you went up to get your medicine. One of the strains I was really hoping for was actually out of stock, but still on the "menu", so I was frustrated.. If you want good quality medicine and don't care about the vibe of the place, or demeanor of the people serving you, then this place is great for you. Also, some strains had pretty low prices, but only a couple.

Great club! Really good selection and staff is super helpful and friendly! Prices arent the best but atmosphere and quality of meds is worth it

Simply the best. Some of the highest quality medicine anywhere in the city and prices are honestly fairly reasonable for what you're getting. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and the location doesn't leave you feeling grimy. Bonus points for accepting credit cards and FREE DELIVERY(!). Love it.

Meh. Went for a specific strain advertised on their menu, but they didn't have it. Asked for a heavy hitting indica for night time anxiety and insomnia. Got a pure sativa with heavy anxiety side effects instead. No first time patient bonus. :/ Staff was very friendly, but not super helpful beyond "yeah, that's a good one". I like the theme they're going for, but feels more like a Davidoff without the selection. There are too many better, less expensive dispensaries in the area. Will probably skip this place in the future.

Easy access, right in the middle of the city

I will definately go back. The service is exemptional, the staff was helpful in picking a new strain to help with my anxiety and creative block, they have a great selection of strains all you have to do is pick the effect you need.That plus the art in the walls and the decoration made for a great experience.

From the outside of the shop, you wouldn't think much of it but upon entering, it feels classy. First, they helped me with getting an appointment for same day approval and verifying that I had all of my paperwork in order to get my medical marijuana card approved. With their help, I felt it only made sense to prepay them by returning to their dispensary to make a purchase. The budtender I dealt with was amazingly patient with a noob like me and helped with advice on what to get and when to use it. I walked out with two cartridges, a chocolate bar, a free pre-roll and 10% off. Not bad for maybe ten minutes of effort. I will definitely return again because they made me feel very welcome.

Super classy interior, good selection. Pretty expensive.

Just so you know, this was the first place I went to after getting my card. That said, I really can't imagine any place living up to the ambiance and helpfulness that I found at the Apothecarium. I will try other places but they definitely set a high bar.

Went to visit Sanfransisco, and I have to say this business knows what they're doing. Very well organized and it appeared that it was a very high regulated and protected facility. The employees seem to have masters degrees and are very well aware of how to treat their patients for whatever needs they may have.

Upscale, friendly and extremely good product.

Amazing service and recommendations.
