ArborSide - A North Coast Joint Venture (Rec)

I really want to like this place but it seems they go out of their way to make it hard. They do have some of the best prices in town but you get what you pay for in atmosphere, product, and service. They have such arbitrary rules and never communicate them but will give you a bunch of attitude if you don’t just automatically know their new rules. The rules are often things that ONLY Arbor Side does for whatever reasons as well. I understand that state regulations and LARA change rules but Arbor Side always seems to be out in left field with their rules compared every other dispensary in the A2/Ypsi area as they will enforce rules that no other place does. The receptionists are often rude and short width you too - not all of them but way too many of them. It’s actually a joke among friends that they have good prices but you have to make up for it with the rudeness. Thankfully the budtenders provide better service for the most part. I have also felt shafted on several occasions here, unfortunately. Last time I went in, I got a vape pen recommendation because what I wanted was out. I was promised it would be fire and the pen didn’t even work. I’ve also purchased flower that was on the top shelf when I got it and then I see it moved to mid a week later. And, their pre-rolls canoe about 85% of the time when smoking them. I really want to like Arbor Side, but I leave disappointed many times and going there is often a frustrating experience overall. I will still go there to pick up 1-2 things on special as they have great specials and prices, but aside from that, I have been avoiding going there for my mainstays.

This dispensary sells male clones as female. I drove 1 hour from detroit to pick up 6 clones to start growing again only to find out during pre flower that 3 of them are males. I waisted 75.00 on the clones not to mention all the nutrients and electricity waisted. I would not recomend this dispensary to anyone. I am let down and very upset with my purchase!

Terrible service they sell faulty cartridges then won't exchange for a working one, not to mention on two occasions I've bought 1 gram containers of oil but there was only a half gram in the container

This place is garbage. I was here twice and my first visit was told all meds were tested and even given thc an cbd contents for the strains I bought. Got home an smoked an felt very let down. Gave them another shot an went back to pick a few more an this time the budtender tells me they don't have any tested because in house equipment had broken.. So the girl leafing through a binder an tellin me this is 24% was literally just talking out her ass. Honesty totally matters in a place like this an they don't treat it that way. Buds are in large jars constantly being opened for everyone. The place screams recreational only in my opinion. Will not be back.

I must say I was extremely disappointed I had heard good thing's about this place. Where to start the lady at the front desk was not friendly, when I finally got asked to come back by one of the bud tenders, his attitude sucked too. There was no acknowledgement of me being a new patient, and he just seemed like he had better shit to do them help me. As a new patient i did receive a free preroll, however there were so many seeds it was not smokable. Also the place just seemed old and run down. One positive was they had the e cartridge I needed.

First off....horrible parking. Horrible. I had to park down a side street and walk. Second, wait was a bit excessive. Store is decent and has good selection. Prices are reasonable and the flower I got was a good smoke. They had a computer issue while I was there so the wait inside the shop was also excessive. The staff who helped me was informative and helpful and really nice. There discount program seems just ok and could be better. Overall, I'll be back for flower and clone selection but it'll be far and in between.

This place is super chill. Every staff member I've interacted with is very kind and helpful in finding the right type of product to suit my needs. There's been a lot of negative reviews about arborside lately and I gotta say I've been coming here for over 4 years and have never had a bad experience. Specifics I like about Arborside: -Huge seed selection, like seriously, almost 100 strains, from probably 10 different (very reputable) breeders or more. And all seeds are 15% off on saturdays. It's a steal. -An equally large selection of concentrate and flower (and edibles....and cartridges..and prerolls...), at all donation levels. Whether you're ballin' on a budget or looking for that one connoisseur product, you're likely to leave happy. Even the low tier concentrates look excellent and have noticeable terpene profiles. You'll find flower in the 20% THC range at all donation levels as well. -This place is cheaper than a lot of others I've been to in the area. With the daily specials and rewards you earn as a patient sometimes the savings can be VERY significant. -The OGKB (it is so good) You should definitely go check this place out!

I am a Cannabis Connoisseur and Hip-Hop/RnB Musician Located in Eugene, Oregon. I travelled to Michigan Recently and I Had to Visit This dispensary in Ann Arbor. It is Awesome! Great Service, Great Selection, Of course anyone Could use more Kush Varieties for Anxiety/Stress Relief, and more support for Growing your own is always appreciated also Shoutout to #IvyVine420 in Michigan for the recommendation!

This was my first dispensary and I still come back for my needs. Super quality meds and knowledgable staff. Great rewards program and daily deals too. Do yourself a favor and if they have Catfish in stock and you like sativa then just get some.

Bought a quarter of wax, took it home and it weighed out to 4.5, so thats cool

This is the first dispensary I've ever been to (recommended to me by a friend) and I have been there twice now. They have a decent selection and use an easy tier system for their prices. Nothing outstanding about this place, I also do not like how you have to fill out paperwork on your first visit to become a "member" at this place. I live over 50 miles away from Ann Arbor so I don't see myself coming back unless I'm in the area

Always a nice atmosphere, every time I go I'm treated everywhere, they always have high quality flower and concentrates, would highly recommend/ refer people to Arborside.

Excellent service.Excellent product. Excellent price. I never go anywhere else.

Awesome

Good quality & service love going here omw there now

Nice knowledgeable staff great product will go back

They had good Meds but the owner was super rude. I didn't understand how his price breaks worked and instead of trying to help me understand he told me to "either buy the product or get out." I don't really understand how you can treat someone like that when they are spending money. Too bad the costumer service was so awful, I will defiantly not be going back.

Yo they have great meds

Best place for the best meds!

love this place

Unsure as to how anyone could leave a bad review or was dissatisfied after visiting Arborside. Arguably the best dispensary in Michigan. I've been to over 75 dispensaries all across the state, and Arborside is right at the top. Unbelievable concentrate quality and selection. It's worth the drive no matter where you are, hands down best concentrate variety and selection in the state. Just an excellent location with a friendly and knowledgeable staff.

They don't update their online menu. Very low quality control. Sometimes you will get burned hard on the $10/$12 selections. Most of the staff is awesome.

This dispensary offers one of the most extensive selections in Ann Arbor. They have a wide range of pricing so that anyone can find what they are looking for. I believe they offer some of the best edibles in the area. Would recommend the roasted nuts. Definitely one of my favorite dispos in aa.

Dope spot great selection
