By far, I think this is my home for dispensaries. The security guard was pretty awesome at the door. I thought he was a cop. I felt well protected. The front area was clean. It was no weirdos hanging around in the front you as you come in or go I loved it. The place is very welcoming and you just get a feeling of safety in the place as you’re doing your shopping :-) and they have an awesome system the more you come the more points and the better your prizes. I love it and the tenders are awesome. They’re very knowledged on everything that they have at the counters and in the glass booths, and if they don’t have it, they can get it for you order it and they have drive up service in the back. You don’t even have to get out of your car isn’t that awesome so you can park in the front or park in the back or you can easily just call your order, say this is the best one of the best cannabis dispensaries around Oakland right now

Great variety of products. They always have specials and offer rewards points for purchases. Convenient and secure curbside parking. Rarely do you encounter a line. At Best lines are no more than five minutes long. Courteous, knowledgeable staff. The best cannabis dispensary in the East Bay. I wrote a poem about them in my new book., AFFLATUS INBOUND

No. And No!Go to COOKIES for best service, prices and experience (Broadway and 19th)Go to STIIIZY for vibes and deals (Telegraph and 21st).For Black and brown folks, for neurodivergent customers and sensitive humans. Your experience matters. I was harassed and made extremely uncomfortable by multiple white presenting tenders and managers at Blum. I revisited after much time and became retraumatized! Do Not support businesses that make neighborhood members uncomfortable and unsafe.

We were staying at the Moxy Hotel and noticed Blum while driving. Blum has an awesome selection of pre-rolls, flower, vape cartridges, edibles and dabs. Today we were looking for pre-rolls and a cartridge.

The guy behind the counter saw that I was white, and tried to charge me over double… I I had looked it up online earlier. He had an attitude with me right away, JUST b/c I look different… like someone he hates, so it’s okay then? I hadn’t said a word. My money spends the same, but being treated like a “mark”, is unacceptable. You employ openly racist people that turn business away, and you should be aware of it.

Friendly, helpful, and efficient staff. I was able to get in and out without standing in line. In regards to another reviewer, there was a diverse mix of races tending the store. I felt safe in this store.

They’ve got the best deals in town. You don’t have to wait for your third time or act like it’s your first. My tip would be to check the website for their deals. You can preorder online and cut the wait in store usually. Although, I’ve never really had to wait like in the old days when we were in there like a line at the bank. Nowadays the club has come a long way from the bullet proof glass and LCD displays of 2013. You’ll find a space where you can interact with cannabis products and experience marijuana in a way that is comfortable. I love going to Blum. They know me and I appreciate the effort

I have been a regular customer for a few years now, but never again. It’s unfortunate too because they have some nice people working there who offer great service. For the past month, every time I go in they say their card reader is not working. Twice, I’ve actually left to get cash and returned, but those days are over. I am not buying it. Literally! No card reader would be broken this long in a different ZIP Code. Just say cash only. Such bad form!

I placed my very first order here for Memorial Day, during their sale. Not only did they have incorrect information regarding a product I ordered on their website, I was also given an incorrect item in my pick-up order. Now, over a week later and multiple attempts to get in contact, they have yet to get back to me to figure out a resolution to their mistake. Completely disappointing experience. I wont be returning and regret ordering from Blum to begin with. Definitely wouldnt suggest this dispensary to anymore. Their reputation of being overpriced and uncaring was absolutely correct. Beware before wasting your money here.

OK, I already gave this place 5 stars over a month ago when I joined: great selection, friendly staff, security (always a plus), a point system for loyal, returning customers.I am writing today giving BLUM the sacred SIXTH STAR for hosting a vendor from BUD BARBER. Michael the rep/owner was there giving out edible samples for his BOGO free special. I asked if he had anything for pain.I clean houses and my crippling, aching, sore hands are raw from the work. He said, My wife and I made this lotion...took us years! I use it with the edibles. But, I dont think they have the lotion here? I am here today for the edibles. But, *I* have a bottle you can sample Michael reached out his hand with the bottle and said, Say when.... I extended my hand. He poured, I said, when and began to massage.I felt INSTANT relief. It felt so good, smelled good and was GOOD!! I began to cry. I told him, I have tried EVERYTHING: Bengay, icy/hot, tiger balm, bio freeze, compression gloves, pain meds and even acupuncture when things get really bad. NONE of them have provided on the spot, on contact, did I say INSTANT relief...that lasts up to 4 hours!!That is MAJOR when you have 24 hour pain. As I wiped the tears from my eyes and asked the cashier if they had his lotion? She said, Yes, its $10 Michael said, Oh, thats NOT my lotion. Ours is $30. They did have it and it is worth EVERY penny. The Theraputic CBD lotion is a new addition to my healing routine.Michael gave me a hug and a two free edibles which were equally as AWESOME as the lotion. I am a believer in self healing. At any co$t.

Their new policy is completely unfair. Im a veteran and I automatically get a 20% off discount but now I cant even use that discount if I want to take advantage of their promotions. This is the last time Im coming here and I suggest all veterans find another place that will actually take care of you instead of worrying about how much of a profit theyre going to make off of you...

Review №22

Why pay $30 for something that had already been opened? Spilled all in my bag all over the place. I wasted $30 bc someone had opened the product that I bought. I didn’t think to open the lid, bc why should I have to. It’s suppose to be new. I thought. Also how do I even know it’s safe to use. Complete bs. I called and asked and they wouldn’t do anything for me. I will never recommend this store to anyone.

St. Paddys Day and they had the best deal on gummy edibles around. I was there ! Felt very secure on sight of the guy at the front entrance. Inside I viewed a very stylish layout. I was a greeted with a warm welcome and come right on in. That stuff makes me feel right at home. And, the place was busy. The guys behind the counter are friendly quick and professional.Products galore and no time to explore... I will be back!Almost forgot: There is ample parking in the back, that leads to the front.Also: Its just off the freeway, and theres bus stops close by.

I placed an ordered through weed maps with 20% off first order discount. Confirmed and got an order number for next day. Woke up and it had failed and I couldn’t apply it again. Called to check and the person who answered sounded bothered that he had to check an order, i asked if I could reorder and get the discount, got put on hold and was told that sounds like “I missed out” on my first order ($200+). I read that the customer service was good in this place, just not very helpful at all in my experience. Good selection but this issue sent me directly to Nug Oakland across the street, shame.

Nice, friendly place! Parking can be a little challenging (metered at front). Didn’t see a lot. Wish they gave a free roll upon your first visit. Apparently they give 10% off your total if you’re a new patient. My advice is check your let receipt before you leave. Otherwise, a good place to check out!

This was my first time at a dispensary, so I was new to the process. The minute I got to the counter to make my selection, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful; never making me feel hurried or uncomfortable. I was very happy with my purchase. Overall, Id say it was a very positive experience as they have a good selection of products, very friendly staff, and decent prices. What more could you ask for?

Review №37

Great club with lots of quality choices to dazzle just about anyone walking through the door. Their staff appears friendly and helpful as often as humanly possible. I think the prices are a bit steep, but most of the clubs in the east bay are outrageous anyway. I think they forget that they are selling a product that grows on plants that they are calling medicine and selling it to people they refer to as patients, yet none of the clubs I have visited in the entire bay area reflect any of the compassion and altruistic character in their pricing structure and profit margins. Whatever though, right?

Review №38

Blums once was my go to spot. Not anymore. Their prices have gotten a bit much in my opinion. Especially in comparison with the other surrounding clubs. Customer service is ok could be better. Ex. I’m standing in line, the cashier would be having a conversation with each other and not see you waiting... and I would have to say, ‘hello’ in order for them to call me to the counter. That has happen more then once. I’m not sure if the owners have changed, but the only time I shop here is when it is a last result. And that is unfortunate. I once loved this spot.

Review №41

I am not really one to write a negative review but my recent store experience was horrible. I was there to purchase some balm for my shoulder pain, and the staff was less than helpful. I asked him what is the difference between the different products offered and he couldnt really give me an answer. Then when he rang me up, the barcode didnt scan so he went to the drawer and grab another box and scanned that one. I noticed the price was higher than what I expected, and told him the wrong price was charged, but he claimed its because of the taxes. When I got home, I looked at my receipt closely and checked the online price, he did charged me for the wrong price. Apparently the box he grabbed from the drawer was a totally different product. I called Blum right away, and the staff on the phone told me I can come in and they can refund me the difference. When I got back to the store, I explained to the staff what happened, she asked if I received the right product. I told her they charged me the wrong product on the receipt and I needed a price adjustment. She went to the back to grab somebody (Im assuming hes the on duty manager) and he was obnoxiously rude. He tried to tell me the two products are the same price and he doesnt know why I even bothered coming in. I told him they are not the same price, so he tried to scan the products to prove me wrong. Obviously, the two products had $10 difference in price. Then he tried to tell me my refund would only be $8. I told him thats impossible because $10+tax is not $8. He then ignorantly said because I have a 10% discount and thats what the computer said and the computer is right. I asked him how he calculated the difference, and of course he didnt calculated it correctly, and was annoyed that he was wrong, and unwillingly gave me my $12 refund. He didnt even both to apologize one time during the whole transaction. Worst customer service ever. I will never spend my money at this store again after today!

Review №43

Let start by stating that the staff is really good, thoughtful and nice, the staff does deserve 5 stars.The reason why I am giving one star is because of poor staffing when the place is full. This was my third time at this place. When I walked in, two people where checking folks in and then when I opened the door, a reeeeeeeeeeally big line with only 3 people behind the counter.I thought that if the place was very busy, why have two people in front rather than have just one and have the other one expedite the line or at least act as an consultant for those that have no idea what they are doing there. But that was never the case.The issue also was because of the staff being friendly, there were a looot of conversations being taken left and right without no one acknowledging the fact that the line was big. I actually timed two girls just chatting away for almost 20 minutes and I had to stop the timer because I was leaving and they where STILL there after I left.I know that the place is small, but I would suggest to have consultants in the floor to make the customers decide faster what they want while they wait such as today. Specially like the girls that I am talking about because they seem to have actually drain the guy that was helping them. Is not fair to your staff and is not fair to people like me that I knew what I wanted and yet, had to wait in line for 45 minutes just because everyone decided to have conversations while 20+ where still waiting in line.When it was finally my turn, I was just upset with my whole experience that I had to tell the person helping me that it was very unprofessional how they were dealing the line. He of course was very helpful and nice, and got me out the door fast because he saw how uncomfortable I was being there for such a long time.Great inventory but I would definitely think of going there again if the service is still all over the place where they allow staff and customers have conversations like if they haven’t seen each other for more than 20 years. Add a cut out time or add consultants. A space that small cannot for the love of god have a 45 minute line.

Theyre pretty expensive, even for medical patients. But I like theyre point reward system. Anything that helps the patients is always good for business. But lines are always pretty long tho. So make sure you have time to wait.

Review №45

They dont give good recommendations based on the needs of the costumer. All the times Ive gone there they have no inventory even though they have a full menu slide show on their screens. They dont give alternative options or let you buy less grams and always try to push products instead on considering the need of people who actually need them for medicinal purposes. I havent found a bud tender that is knowledgeable. I always have to rely on Leafy or other websites to know exactly what they are offering.

Review №46

I love this place.. but some of the people at the hash bar need to watch what they are giving you. Because multiple times I get home and have something different than what I wanted.. I shud have checked there myself, yeah.. but he/she should of showed them to me be4 putting them in my bag. The one they gave me. Was shown the wax, but not given that one grabbed a different one.. the wrong one.. and put it I my bag.. this will not stop me from going there, as I said this is my favorite club rite now. Just going to have to check every time be4 I leave is all =).. Occasionally the card readers will be down AND the ATM so it will be cash only. A little annoying but it wont stop me from coming!

Review №47

I shop here often because the cannabis edibles help my mom with her pain, but they are very unreliable when it comes to their inventory. Here today, never seen again. I called looking for their cannabis infused jello shots, but they didnt have them. These are VERY effective at helping my mom with her pain, so if you see them anywhere else I highly recommend them. The woman on the phone told me they didnt have them and when I asked when theyd be in she told me that they havent carried them in a year and I know this is impossible because I bought them from this same store, in person, just ~2 weeks ago.The staff either has poor knowledge of the products they carry or their customer service is lazy. Would not recommend if youre looking for consistency.

Made my first recreational purchase here. The place is super nice, bright, comfortable and professional. There was a long line since it was days after the New years legalization. I felt like it went as fast it could which was about 15 min. The casher/associate was quick and knowledgeable. I told him what I was looking for but I didnt know what was what in the way of types and strains. He was concise and throughout some suggestions and made my purchase. Felt good leaving. Trying out the product it was on point with his description. Looking forward to going back!

This is one of my favorite dispensaries and not only because I live nearby. Ive had wonderful conversations and interactions with the staff in the more than five years that Ive been going here, and I always feel safe, well-informed, and that I can find a wide variety of products, from flower to concentrate to edibles. Come prepared with cash and take advantage of the knowledgeable staff when making your flower selection. The online and display menu are really helpful but they really know what theyre talking about.

Review №54

Note: This pertains to the San Leandro location.Wow! Several good things to say but pricing broke the deal! First time in. Met by security with a kind welcome. Great start! Only a couple of other patients.... Asia, at the front, was eloquent! So kind and helpful. Genuinely friendly, as was Keith once I entered the shopping space. Very small shop with limited selection but Im willing to bet theres likely something for just about everyone.Why a 1? PRICE! This is a medicinal only shop. Im used to different treatment as a medicinal patron. Im used to discounts, not penalties! Example: Select Weekender.... .3 grams in a disposable battery..... $34.99. $26.00 right up the road at Harborside with additional discount added at checkout. YIKES at $34.99! And no discount on top of it!!One review stated they include taxes in the price. Well that might constitute the high price but that wasnt the case. On a $180 ticket there were additional charges totaling $52.46 for TAXES and a $1.95 privacy charge???? I know, I know...... taxes are killing everyone and theres no cure in sight but seriously..... if this is a medicinal only location, cant we do a little better by the folks that are, literally, dying to get in??Different shops, different products, new ideas, new people..... all that stuff is fun. I shouldnt feel like Ive been hit by a stupid stick for spending money in your or any location.I sincerely wish you the best but Ill go ahead and drive just a little bit further for superior patient recognition in the pricing department.

The line was too long. It was pretty fast getting in, but the inside was like a crack house. I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s beautifully designed, but rush hour makes you feel like a feen. You have to decide if this 30 min wait is worth it. Nope, it wasn’t. I left before I could examine the product. Add some entertainment to keep my mind off the high taxes and long waits.

Review №58

UPDATE on my one-star review from two years ago. This dispensary continues to disappoint. I wrote this place off and have been happily spending my money at other dispensaries for the last couple of years. Since Blum is in my neighborhood I figured I’d give it another chance the other day. Pulled up 30 minutes before they closed and found myself locked out. The incompetent weird little girl working at the front counter pretended she couldn’t see or hear my friend and I knocking on the glass, asking why the doors were locked 30 minutes before actual closing time. if that counter girl is blind and deaf then bless her heart but I really doubt it 🤣 a security guard from across the room walked over to let us know that they were closed, which at this point was fairly obvious but we were trying to figure out why. Lazy employees, awful inventory with even worse prices and lousy customer service to boot. I think I’ll continue spending my money at any number of other wonderful dispensaries in this area. Can’t wait for this business to inevitably get replaced with something better !!!OLD REVIEW: I’ll admit I have been going here for a while but these idiots just lost another patient and customer.This dispensary is absolute garbage. The constant rotating door of bud-tenders are unprofessional, inconsistent and unknowledgeable. Product consistency doesn’t exist and their stock is almost always embarrassingly low. Don’t expect to find good quality products here and don’t expect to pay less than $60 for an 1/8th 🤣 and that doesn’t include their 35%+ tax...I called for a specific product and was told that it was in stock and to come in at a specific time to pick it up. I explained that I don’t live close and would be coming specifically for that product but when I arrived the lazy stoners made some bogus excuses as to why they actually did not have the product. Instead of offering a solution they sent some little fat kid out to essentially go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and not actually offer to help or compensate for their unprofessional mistake. Awful customer service experience, eat my butt Blum.

I LOVE the staff here. The two girls in the front are BOMB. Hella cute and friendly. Great selection, prices are alright, quality is good. Just be careful of some of the deals. They had a Buy 2 get one free special for edibles and the free bar we received had the lowest THC content I have everrrrrr seen. Each SERVING size was .5mg! WHAT! It was pretty much a chocolate bar with a dash of THC. There was a sticker over the original packaging so I’m assuming there was an error when the vendor was making it, therefore they were pretty much giving them away lol. Regardless, this place wasn’t bad.

Who would have thought this day was coming, were weed heads can retreat from the closet, parking lot deals or street corner hustle just to get their smoke on😂. I like visiting places to see how they operate. All about ecommerce baby🌿🌳🍪🍫🍬💰💰💰💵

Oof, this place has seen better times. For years Blum was my go-to dispensary for prerolls, cartridges, and edibles. Or sometimes just to grab the deals on 1/8s. They carried a wide variety of quality products.But lately the selection has DISAPPEARED. No prerolls, only a few options and all fairly expensive. Its beyond me how they can still afford to pay a half a dozen security guards while only selling about a dozen options on the entire menu.Avoid if at all possible. Im giving it a 2 star review for the friendly staff only.

Review №88

Very poor experience! Elder Black sister felt disrespected by poor service from a racist white sales clerk with an elitist attitude who acted like he was doing me a favor to sell me some medication. Outta there and I will take my bucks with me! Looking for a Afro-Caribbean hook up to share my money resources with! Will never again shop at Blüm 😡

Totally agree w/ Erika. This place isnt very good. Weed is higher than most places. But worse, its always packed and hella short on staff and takes 20 mins or longer to get in/out of there. For a small place, thats just ridiculous. I do like the staff though, nice folks. The wait time and $, though, arent worth going here.

I drive by this place ALL the time...I get my haircut in the Packard Lofts, so its on the way home.Today, was the first time I decided to stop in. The check-in was quick and easy. After quickly browsing the products, I asked the budtender for a PURE sativa pre-roll. We also asked for a recommendation regarding cannabis infused beverages.While I didnt get his name, the tender was very honest and shared his experience with both the beverage and the pre-roll. Because of this, I can say I would 10/10 recommend. All in all, I spent $50 for the two, 1g prerolls, a lighter and 1 cannabis drink.

One of the best dispensaries in Oakland if youre looking for something casual and straightforward. Budtenders are always there to help with questions or suggestions. The brands they carry are also decent for the price, especially their Oakland Loud house products.

Review №96

Was my go-to dispensary until my last two visits.The second to last time, I did not get my 20% veterans discount. I forgot, they didnt enter it into the system when I checked in, and I didnt catch it until later. I let it slide because I felt I shared part of the blame for not making sure.The last visit, and so far my final one, the same young woman sold me a Sherbinski cartridge. What she didnt know or forgot to tell me was those cartridges take their own special Sherbinski battery. I didnt realize any of this until I discovered my cartridge wouldnt work. So I was stuck with a $60 cartridge I cant use, unless I pay for another battery. Suffice it to say I know now why the dispensary insists you keep your receipt.Otherwise, try to go during off hours. Even when theres a line the budtenders and customers feel no need to hurry. I prefer to go somewhere where your time and money is respected.

Review №115

So...Blum is falsely advertising that they are selling 2 grams or half an eighth when they are actually selling 1.75 grams. I just spoke to a Manager to confirm this. He said the associates at the front counter should let you know that youre buying 1.75 at the time of purchase, but they never have. We have bought this falsely advertised 2 grams and eighth of Sour Lemon Tangie too many times feeling a little cheated because the bag always looked short. Now we know why. We actually weighed it this time and were shocked to see 1.74 grams on the scale. Hey Blum! Dont blame weed maps. This is all on you. When you corporatize the market for weed, its no longer about patients and the love of Marijuana, its about the $$$$$$$$. Super disgusted and majorly let down that you are playing your customers for .25 grams on every purchase. I guess it better for business that way 😋😉😋. And we stopped going to BPG and Purple heart because we believed you cared. Yea you do! You care about skimping a little off the top. Blum Oakland? Still not making enough money off of us with all these taxes, so you came up with this very covert little scheme. A+ for keeping real. Real Corporate. You suck. You should be sued for false advertising. Seriously....

Review №117

Another club that used to be great, then went downhill. Over the years theyve had their ups and downs but now that CA has legalized adult use it is just a money grab taking advantage of the cannabis community. They had, in the past, some of the most affordable, high and mid level cannabis products around. No more. And their staff has, in my opinion, gotten less helpful and friendlySo I decided to try Blum again and instantly regretted it. They advertise products online but do not actually have said products in the store. Places like this are why the black market is thriving. Its really a shame that I can trust a stranger on the corner more than a brick and mortar shop to actually sell me what they say they will.
