Bernal Heights Collective

Is this place closed until ten o’clock in the morning so that the staff can go out drinking on Friday and Saturday night?

Under new management since Oct 2015, and the difference is palpable. It’s probably safe to say that if you liked the old place, you won’t prefer the new one, and vice-​versa. There seems to be less seating than I remember, and the place is much brighter and less like a speakeasy. I have mixed feelings about the change.
The sign-​up was very quick, but they use your email address and sign you up for their delivery service without asking, for which I took off a star. Had they asked, and allowed me to decline, it would’ve been perfect.
I did notice the bud menu and concentrates both seem expanded, and the various buds are displayed boutique-​style in glass jars. The staff are nice, but my budtender was brand new and so might not have been much help for a beginner who needed advice.
When all said and done, if you’re not there to socialize, it’s about price and quality of the goods,
which I found competitive for the concentrates I favor.
I did get my free pre-​roll first time visit, as it had been so long since I’d been there they had no record of any previous registration, though I had to remind them. Hardly a deal breaker.

Nice place, decent medication, but there are some things on the menu that changed with new management.

These guys lied to me over the phone and told me free pre-​roll first time visit. They lied to me and are liars. The weed here is nothing great.

This place is great. A nice local laid back place that’s got super friendly staff and excellent product and fair prices. (I just don’t get the previous bad reviews-​It seems like they are all from the same person with an axe to bear). This place is really down home and authentic. I’ll be boc!

Love the changes @ Bernal Heights Collective before seemed like a run down business that didn’t care what the inside looks like. This place has everything from plants, bud, edibles, and dabbers. Surprised 2 here that can use their dabber machine, bongs, and pipes. That is great to sample what you buy right there instead of walking somewhere else to try it. Silver have bud is what I got and was very dense thick sticky buds. WoW what a high I got off of that. The staff that works there are very helpful and kind. Pre-​rolls now are so better than ones before. I’m not a pre-​roll person but the free one I got for signing up was great!!! Thanks for the great love.

Bernal Heights Collective, for some time now they have been under new owners. I’m looking at all these reviews about the New Bernal, so I had to add my 50 cents worth, Where is all this negatively coming from?
I like the new place, way better than the old Bernal, for example the old Bernal had these $ 5 prerolls that were straight garbage, I’m really not a preroll kind of guy, but I have to say, New Bernal, their prerolls are way better, also I read someone talking about the door guys being slow¿ I’m always buzzed in quickly and one of the door guys, his name is Kevin, he is always so friendly and greets me by my name,(I like that), same with the Budtenders…
I had stopped going to the Old Bernal cause was out of the way, not close to where I live, just wasn’t feeling them anymore. I herd Bernal was under new management, I had to go back and check them out, and I’ve come back to Bernal… Im at least there 2x week, always there on Saturdays. Most of the time I make a purchase, sometimes I have my own medicine, they let me hang out and smoke, they never give me a hard time for not buying anything and or using their equipment, I don’t even have to leave my ID!!!
They got some Jack Herer on the menu that’s just Bomb, after doing bong hits and breaking up this dense sticky bud with my fingers, I realized I should have used a grinder, when I gotten home I had to get a scrubber and soap to scrub the sticky residue from the Jack off my fingertips, now that’s sticky. The Alien OG is very potent and tasty too, it tested at 22.5%…
I had stopped smoking wax for a long time due to slolvents, and how it’s extracted, well Bernal has Solvent Free wax by HBC Farms, everything there solvent free. One of the budtenders, his name is Mykey, he recommended this HBC Solvent free gram of Mr White Premium Crumble which tested at 90.2% for 60 $, what a deal, all you need is 1 hit.
Thanks you guys for bringing me back to Bernal…
I highly recommend this place, come on back and check them out.

Place sucks. So expensive and skimpy. First time going there today and they make u sign up to some website ur name and email, weird, but anyways that’s not the worst part it’s the over priced skimpy sacks that bother me. $ 45+tax so about $ 49 for maybe if ur lucky 3.5 grams of some mehhh not too great bud. Go somewhere else for value and quality cuz u won’t get it in this wanabe yupy but run down old dusty place charging yupy prices for not too great of weed

Bernal Heights dispensary and Dr. Atomix provide compassionate donations. These donations are distributed to our local hospices and hospital.
Our patients are extremely sick, and some will remain hospitalized. These are the people that are being cared for under The California Compassion Act. Proposition 215, and SB 420. Again thank you Bernal Heights Dispensary, and Dr. Atomix for you excellent, and very potent product.

Literally the worst experience i’ve had with medical cannibis is SF. the guy at the front wanted me to sign up for this stupid app that took like 10 minutes to set up. fine, i understand you guys are trying to be a techie friendly environment. but then i got to the counter and picked up a $ 10 joint. it was OK sativa that i wouldn’t pay more than 5 dollars for TBH. also the younger guy with darker hair was an arrogant prick. wouldn’t go here, wouldn’t want anyone else to go here either. this place SUCKS

I use to love coming here for 5 $ pre rolled joints. but I have to agree w the past few reviews. You can def notice the difference in this place with the new owners. Def not the same vibe it had before. They still have the 5 $ pre rolled, but they are smaller and not as good. everything has changed, from the furniture arrangement to the selection and atmosphere. I will only be coming back here when I have to.

This is a good place to go if you want someone to try and convince you that not accepting cards and being required to make an account on some third party website to even get in the door is actually easier for you. They also claim the old staff from before the new owner still work there when they very clearly do not. Bring back the old owners and prices. Will be going elsewhere until they get it together (if that ever happens).

I used to love coming here all the time! It was my favorite place to hang out and relax with friends. Today i went in, and because i already had some flowers, i only went to use the materials and relax.
When i walk in i see that there is new owners, i was a little skeptical about it but proceeded anyway hoping that the new owners were just as awesome as the last one. When i got to the front, i asked for a bong and was going to sit down when the man asked if i was going to look at anything. I told him i already had flowers and he looked at me so offended and asked if i knew that they were running a business for us just to go and chill. Luckily there was a nice gentleman who worked there and said it was fine.
I usually did go and get things but i didn’t have to this time. When i sat down i hoped everything was fine and i could finally relax a little bit. They did not. The man was gossiping about us to other staff members and i felt completely uncomfortable being there. When i went to return what i had borrowed, the man gave me a smirk as i reach for my ID back.
I’ve got to say, bernal heights was one of my go to’s all the time because it’s so close. But after the uncomfortable environment i set foot into, i will NEVER return again. Old bernal heights collective, i will miss you.

This spot is close to my work and I like supporting local shops. However, lately the bud quality and selection has gone down hill my last few visits. I give this spot 4 stars because they are trying! The staff tries to give me their best recommendation on the selective items they do have. They are a bit tad slow in the front but friendly!

If you’re looking for some garbage and waste your money then you found the right spot. They don’t grade none of their medicine. The staff is very slow at the door. So if you like your throat to be burned and still no effects then you found the right spot.
STRAIGHT JOKE SHUT YOUR DOORS GET A REAL DISPENSARY

I used to love love this place but lately I feel because it’s more popular its sucking more. The prices have gone way up and the bud quality has gone way down. I also feel like the tenders don’t really know what they are taking about. I went in looking for wax for my dabber. I asked the girl what would be the best one. She handed me some crumble that honestly looked like dirt and would not work well at all. I decided on some sour diesel wax but it tasted old and like it had been sitting out for a while. The employees are very nice I just think they could learn a lot more.

Great local place
Flowers of all potency, edibles and you can hangout and watch some tv on the big screen I recommend you must visit staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy… nice place to visit for meds home of the 5 dollar pre roll

They are generally consistent with the high end medicines being effective. I have seen them go through bad phases with supply, but things have been consistently abundant for over a year now. Even in the lean times there were always at least a couple good strains to chose from. Lately there seem to always be at least 5 strains each of indica, sativa, and hybrids, usually more. Some of the lower end stuff can be kinda crappy, but their good stuff is on par with the best.
They can be bad about updating their board, but if you talk to the budtenders, they almost always have good advice. In 3 years I have only encountered two employees there who I ever felt were off-​putting or incompetent, and they disappeared quickly.
Yes, it is slightly pricier than some of the other places in town. I find it worth it because the staff has always been kind and helpful, and the location is convenient for me. (Very easy to reach from the upper peninsula. Just a straight shot off 280 at the south end of town.) You also get discounts for buying larger quantities, and definitely buy your edibles at happy hour ($ 1 off).
Parking can be tricky, but is easier earlier in the day. Lots of public transit options. I don’t find the place shady, but I have been a patient of various clinics since the late 90s, so I may have a different standard. To me it’s the difference between going to a trendy coffee shop versus your funky neighborhood spot that may not have soy milk and rosewater, but makes a damn find cup of coffee. BHC may not have all their bud tested, catalogued, and displayed like art, but they sell a damn fine bowl of bud.

This is an update frm my old review. Bernal Heights has really cleaned up and become more organized. The menu is electronic and shows the weedmaps menu so much much easier to read! Thank god! Seems like they have added more lighting as well.
Bud Quality Overall: 3 – 4 out of 5… still seeing better quality for better prices elsewhere. Nonetheless the still have dank just gotta know what to look for and really talk to your bud tender. These guys are all pretty friendly and knowledgeable.
Love that they have the lounge and volcanos to vape with. Spent 420 here with a friend and it was crackin! Best 420 I’ve had in years (even tho I had to go to work shortly after 420pm lol) bought some Girl Scout Cookies that they had on sale for 40 an 8^th just for 420… they were amazing 4.5 out of 5 stars! went back 2 days later and it was all gone! I was so sad! Whoever grew that batch really knew what they were doing.
They are on the up and up for sure and u should def. Stop in and get to know the place.
Very easy to access via public transit. 14, 49,36, J, and I believe the 24 stops are all within walking distance.
As far as parking goes that tends to be a little trickier. If your familliar with SF you know how hard it is to park around mission street… 0_​o. There is metered parking right outside the club but if you are gonna hang for a bit there are a few side streets that you MIGHT be able to find a parking spot.

I love this place.
If you’re looking for some posh place who will tell you all about how this bud or this other bud has flavor notes of butter and tangerine or some other wine-​tasting-​like BS, move along, this isn’t your place.
This place is pretty bare bones — exactly as it should be. They have a fantastic selection of constantly-​rotating stock of great bud at reasonable prices, with staff who are both knowledgable (about the right kind of bud-​facts) and incredibly friendly. You will not feel like you’re in some bourgeoisie place with stuck up budtenders — instead, you’ll be in a low-​key place with nice, friendly, and also really cute :) budtenders.
There is also a little mini-​lounge set up with big screen monitors around the budtending section as well — you can sit down and smoke out with other friendly folks from the neighborhood.
I love this place!
