From the minute I got out of my car, it was nothing but good vibes. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Great selection, with great promos for new customers. First time there, and can't wait to go back.
so heavy hitters cal sticker just came off and my freshly opened product looks used, then again the service at these places seem odd I'd watch my staff closely you can cartridge shuffle easily cause I think that's what just happened.
The Bad: The location isn't the greatest (lots of traffic, warehouses, and people who are down on their luck) but what can you do? Some of the average flower can get to be expensive.
The Good: The parking lot is behind the building and it's clear the staff cares about your security and discretion (they're nice too). Inside the dispensary is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Their online menu is up to date and if you always pre-order before driving over, like me, you'll almost never have to wait in line. I'm grateful to get in and out in under 3-4 minutes. They have a wide variety of flower and cartridges (they always seem to have the newest "it" strain on shelves faster than other dispensaries in the area). Most of the time I order something online, it actually ends up being cheaper in store. Not to mention they already have daily deals and an incredible loyalty program (a cashback-like system). First time visitors get a discount as well (and they let me keep my FTP discount because my first visit was during a 20% off happy hour). House grown strains are pretty decent! They're cash only right now but there's an ATM on site and they used to take card (and I presume will take card again once it becomes feasible for most dispensaries).
PLPC has hands down the best quality flower in the bay! I live north up the peninsula a ways, so if I need a cartridge or emergency edibles, a delivery from eaze or Caliva is fine. However, there is no competition for blue Chip house flower (esp GSC!). Prices are on the higher side of average for San Jose, but the sales are twice as often and twice as good, plus the rewards (5¢/$) are much better than average.
tl;dr, come for the blue chip flower, stay for the sale prices
No point in having the app or checking Weedmaps. they don't update their prices.
i went in with 80$ looking for what i thought was a 60$ cartridge, price changed to 87$. that's a big difference to not update. Also that's overpriced.
Prices have gone up significantly since legalization. As in prices went up so much, And service has been so subpar, that I'm probably never going back.
product not worth the price.
Employees are too laidback. I'd understand an amount of sluggishness, what with everyone being stoners, but little to no emapthy and complete lack of drive are different.
Very nice and friendly staff! From the front door to the desk to the budtender, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The location isn't great, but "it is what it is", which is a converted warehouse on the industrial strip of Commercial St., near the tire shops, Pick-N-Pulls, and homeless camps.
I buy flower and vape carts. For those items, I think PLPC has very good selection, especially their mix of top shelf and moderate strength flower varieties, which is solid. Price-wise, the top shelf strains are market rate-to-a-bit-better, esp. for volume. Plus, they have good customer loyalty programs, as well as some genuine bargains.
My only complaint is that the demand often exceeds the capacity, and the lines and wait times can get long. Visit off-hours if you can. Even the pre-order line can be a considerable wait, sometimes.
TL;DR: Nice people, well run place. Pretty good selection of flower and vape carts. Neighborhood kinda sucks, but it's OK.
Last thought: traffic in the area can get VERY congested at peak hours!!!
This place is amazing! It was my first time here today and everyone from the security to the receptionist to the amazing budtender!!! I was completely overwhelmed and they were so helpful and most of all patient...
A friend of mine comes here regularly and recommended it to me. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I like that they have a stamp card and percentages off for your first, second and third purchase. The wait was a bit long but I spent that time looking through their extensive menu. Definitely will be coming back.
I was denied entry because I'm a caretaker certificate holder. even though other dispensaries have let me enter and purchase. I was totally bummed out. I don't think I'll return until recreational use. my husband was allowed in because he's a card holder and he said it was alright and the prices were good. the stars are inducted Finn his visit....
from becoming years ago a hole in the wall type of facility in operation to now and we're grander scale I see this store that is original San Jose Bay Area store here in the Bay Area I see it opening Elise two to three more shops in their name I highly recommend this dispensary as dispensary of the year of Northern California and the US.
Until today I had totally abandoned every other dispensary in the Bay Area! I usually visit "The Lotus" 4 times a week because of the deals gifts and the freshness of the flowers.....EVERYTHING IS CHANGING...once upon a time Scott would greet you in line and let you smell flowers, if supported on Social Media and bought gear you were rewarded for your support, you could view and smell everything inside these air tight jars which I thought to be the absolute best way to keep bud. Now EVERYTHING is pre packed in these wack zip locks that won't keep an artificial flower fresh! Sadly my favorite spot has now stepped off the 1st place block and is content with standing side by side with everyone else! It's now becoming just another place to buy bud oh yeah and every now and then a B list star will slide thru which probably explains most of this....commercial sh!t will always take the soul out of everything!!! Probably will just drop in on Wednesday to get a OZ special or Friday to get and egg roll 🙁
Great selection, but the wait times are excessive. Ive been to 10 or 11 dispensaries, this place has the longest wait of any by far. I probably will go elsewhere.
