I’ve been going to The Apothecarium for years! They always display exceptional customer service and have a great menu to choose from.

Love this place, even if a little pricey. High quality products and very helpful staff. It's like Nordstrom's for weed.

Dope spot for trees. Prices should be more reasonable.

I feel like I'm in the wrong place when I go here-- they've got it looking like a fancy cosmetics shop or something, too froo-froo and uptight for me. The menu does have very excellent, detailed reviews of their strains, though, and it's a good place for trying out something new.

From the outside of the shop, you wouldn't think much of it but upon entering, it feels classy. First, they helped me with getting an appointment for same day approval and verifying that I had all of my paperwork in order to get my medical marijuana card approved. With their help, I felt it only made sense to prepay them by returning to their dispensary to make a purchase. The budtender I dealt with was amazingly patient with a noob like me and helped with advice on what to get and when to use it. I walked out with two cartridges, a chocolate bar, a free pre-roll and 10% off. Not bad for maybe ten minutes of effort. I will definitely return again because they made me feel very welcome.

I came in with my husband for the first time and we both agree: We love the space, Renee was my bud tender and she was very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful in making my selection. Definitely will be coming back.

I think the Apothecarium regularly has the best flowers of pretty much anywhere in SF that I've been other than Harborside. I'm not saying that they actually ARE the best flowers, but they are bigger, more potent smelling, and just consistently awesome.

Meh. Went for a specific strain advertised on their menu, but they didn't have it. Asked for a heavy hitting indica for night time anxiety and insomnia. Got a pure sativa with heavy anxiety side effects instead. No first time patient bonus. :/ Staff was very friendly, but not super helpful beyond "yeah, that's a good one". I like the theme they're going for, but feels more like a Davidoff without the selection. There are too many better, less expensive dispensaries in the area. Will probably skip this place in the future.

I loved the location, the atmosphere, the comfortable, well furnished, and very good looking facility. The black and white wood walls and floor make you feel as if your at a nice small restaurant. The staff was patient, curious and very friendly. They where also knowledgeable and could easily answer any and all questions. They quality of all their products was excellent and they have a wide selection of products at a decent range of prices but they tend to be s bit on the expensive side at times. This has been my go favorite and steady dispensary since I got my card 6 months ago and they also offer a veterans discount and have special promotions and veterans club area of their site so if your a vet like me definitely check it out. You just need your VA ID card or DD214. The only place I like better than here and whose selection,price range and more I like just a bit more is the Barbary coast, where even their $45 1/4 where better in quality than the $40-$45 8ths I've seen at a handful of places and the staff & building are amazing similar to the apothecary

These guys have such a good selection, staff, and quality that every time I pass through San Francisco I have to stop here. Their buds are the frostiest I have ever gotten from a club, the buds looked like they were covered in fur. This club provides the standard medical quality. Prices are relatively high but for good reason: the quality is so much better than other places I have found. What really impressed me was their attitude: They take care of their patients needs first.

I literally just got my card yesterday and went straight here. Staff was friendly and very informative. I got a tin of chocolate covered espresso beans that were delicious and gave me a calm, focused, but energetic buzz. I got a refill for my vape pen that I have not tried yet, and they gave me a free rice crispy treat. Will definitely come back.

I will definately go back. The service is exemptional, the staff was helpful in picking a new strain to help with my anxiety and creative block, they have a great selection of strains all you have to do is pick the effect you need.That plus the art in the walls and the decoration made for a great experience.
