Berkeley Patients’ Care Collective

Originally, I wanted to give this place 5 stars. The staff is knowledgeable & excellent. They have what I need for edibles & the service is fast & convenient. However, their prices have gone up several times over the last few months & now it’s at the point where it is the exact same cost to have the same product delivered to my door. So, I will be going elsewhere — which is a shame because this place was excellent.

A smaller size medicinal shop, not a huge selection either. They don’t have a «small budget» selection that often, but the quality they do have has always been excellent. Anything I have bought from here was worth every penny! Great customer service, and very helpful.

This place does get many things right, but damn. they don’t exactly «do» customer service.
–The ATM went from $ 0.25 to $ 1 to $ 2 over the past couple of years, and CASH ONLY. Really? People generally make unseemly assumptions about that.
–Guys at the door, you are the first one we meet. Please at least pretend to crack a smile one out of 10 times.
–No one likes getting up before 11, but the hours are just sad. At least stay open until 8 PM.
It could be a 4.5, to start with. Though the strain selection is not huge, what they do have is decent. Not keen on mostly $ 60 8ths, but the $ 40 stuff is quite good-​the only two reasons I come back are the good $ 40 strains and the very helpful budtenders.

Too expensive for the quality of buds. While they don’t have any low-​quality buds to begin with, the pricing for their available buds is just ridiculous — my first visit back in 2010 only saw them with four strains, ranging from $ 50-​$ 65 an eighth. For a place that claims to put patients first, ripping them off isn’t really the best way of going about this. My most recent visit was a bit better and their selection seems to have expanded into the relatively «cheap» $ 40 eighth range, but with my budget this club still presents itself as kind of snobby based on the very limited selection they offer their customers in terms of bud selection. On top of this, their concentrates are super pricey and I’ve never seen any offered less than $ 30 per gram.
HOWEVER: if edibles are your thing, this place is cloud nine. I am consistently and thoroughly impressed by both their edible selection and pricing… check out the cannabis capsules if you’re really adventurous!
And what’s the deal with security guards outside? I have a friend who lives nearby and walk past the place all the time, and EVERY time the wanna-​be thugs working security outside with their oversized shoes and dickies jackets mean mug the hell out of me. Like just stare directly at me like they’re trying to stare me down or something… just weird, not intimidating. Not sure what the deal is with that.

I’m gonna give them 4 stars because they are always so kind and always make great recommendations. I won’t go as high as five because, it is just a little pricy and the shop is very straightforward, but they do have some cool deals.
This place is simple but carries some really rare strands on a consistent basis. Pretty standard dispensary, and though it is pricy you get what you pay for.
They have a wide variety of some of the coolest edibles, including bhang bars and full plant essences. There really is something for everyone here.
I think this place deserves 4 – 5 stars because of the quality of the medicine and the kind staff. I will admit that my during my last visit here I felt a little rushed and like I wasn’t attended kindly, and though I feel less than 100% about my purchaseI know I’m not going to be disappointed.

They get 4 stars for always being a great dispensary. Good product and the small scale environment
