ArborSide - A North Coast Joint Venture (Rec)

FELLOW MEDICAL PATIENTS AND FIRST TIMERS BE WARNED If you're looking for somewhere with the most knowledgeable budtenders that will take their time showing products and steer you to better deals that specifically meet your diagnosis? KEEP LOOKING. First time for everything. For me, it was walking out of a dispensary I've never been to with nothing but 14 months of sobriety on my mind. Im recovering alcoholic with severe, very real, medical problems. I went in because everyone has heard about FLWRPOT. I was excited about the 40% off for first timers, that I didn't know about. I was called in and told the lady what I was there for. Medical problems, addiction, etc. She was so quick to show and seal the product up before I could ask the name. After I had some FLWRPOT ready I finally see the MEDICAL. She tossed the med menu and stopped talking to me. Wouldn't allow anyone to help me. Wouldn't ask. Wouldn't allow 40% off. All because I'm Medical? You didn't think I was going to take the house product too? Or was it because I didn't buy your "get off the selves" stuff? Regardless the reason why I was treated so badly, that was actually my worst patient and customer service experience in my life. You guys really put all the cherries on top of this one.

Every time I shop here the budtenders are great, short wait times, killer bud, great selection, fantastic deals, parking, great prices. I love this place. It’s the best in the Midwest. Highest recommendation.

Arborside is definitely now my #1 goto dispensary in Ann Arbor. You’re not a customer when you’re at Arborside you’re family. Request Adam to be your bud tender, super kind, knowledgeable and is one of the best BTs in the country. Great house deals, early bird specials, and customer service.

Plenty of inventory in stock. They had everything I came into purchase. Friendly service knowledgeable staff.

Cool staff, love that I can see and smell the flower I’m buying. Makes all the difference.

Now that Arborside sells recreational cannabis, I wouldn't go anywhere else in Ann Arbor! Their prices and selection are great but the budtenders are the real reason to go here. I've never had them steer me wrong.

The people, the deals, the weed. My go to spot.

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 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!

The bud tenders here are exceptional. They are professional and always so helpful with recommendations. The product here is superior to others in the area. I have tried several strains of flower and many gummy options - all have been excellent. They also are generous with texting coupons so sign up for those!

I’ve been frequenting Arborside the past couple of months, and they have definitely become my new favorite dispensary in the area. They have a great selection of flower (even a great flower in the ‘value’ section), great budtenders (every single one I’ve had has given great service), and an awesome laid-back atmosphere. They can get busy at times, but they get people in and out quick. I definitely recommend giving them a try!

The person in front and the bud tenders here are pretty helpful and friendly. I like their daily specials and most times they have at least three people working so the line moves fairly quickly. Only thing, I do not like is the parking very few spots and no directions on where to park when lot is full.

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

This is my usual place! The staff is always friendly and helpful, there is a nice variety of product, and they always run discounts. I highly recommend this place.

Location is very easy to get to since it is near campus. Overall good product for all customers and an arrange of services to provide

If you've never been here, it can be easy to miss but 100% worth it. New patients get 50% off their first order (up to $100). 🤯🤯🤯 Unheard of! They also send you coupons periodically. I bet you keep coming back.

The customer service is A+. They are always fast and efficient

This is my one stop shop literally. All of the Bud tenders are super friendly and very knowledgeable. The flower is grade AA and always on point, the concentrates are AMAZZING! I can never wait to come back I am so excited!

Best place for the best meds!

I like this dispensary. Good deals on flower nice staff and clean. They do get busy right before close so be prepared. All of the top shelf is always very good flower!!

Awesome helpful and knowledgeable staff. They treat you like family and make sure you get what you need.

Yo they have great meds

Always my favorite shop for meds good product prices and best budtenders

One of the few places I’ve been where the bud tender was both genuinely interested in being helpful and had a lot of knowledge about the products (and medical weed in general). I appreciate that.
