About Embarc Dispensary
Down the block from STIIIZY on Webster St, Embarc Dispensary in West Alameda runs a tight operation — 4.9 stars across 1,159 reviews. Open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM. The customer experience here is the headline. Reviewers single out budtenders by name (Andres, John, plus shoutouts to Auntie Bluntie among regulars) for being friendly, knowledgeable, and quick even when the shop gets busy. That responsiveness under pressure shows up in review after review. Promotions get mentioned regularly — sluggers, deals, candy specials. The space feels welcoming for first-timers and rewards regulars with familiar faces. Embarc's broader brand emphasizes community and education, and this Alameda location lives up to that without veering into corporate-speak. Selection covers flower, edibles, concentrates, and the usual range. If you're new to cannabis or just new to Alameda, this is one of the easier dispensaries to walk into without feeling overwhelmed. Strong all-around choice for anyone shopping the West Alameda corridor.

Customer Reviews
Everyone is always great when I go to embarc! Andres really seems to know products well, is always friendly, and very kind! Def makes the atmosphere feel more welcoming especially if you don’t specifically know what you’re looking for.
Andres always has a smile and positive vibe! He was knowledgeable, attentive, AND informative! Andres helped me get my favorite pain relieving product and hooked a discount from my accrued Embarc points! Love this place!
John was great. He was cool, calm and collected while there were a bunch of people in there. He acknowledged me and then served the next customer In a prompt manner. He then got the one thing that I was coming in for quickly and then recommended a nice strain that met my price range and my profile that I was going for. Great experience
This place was great! I went in a few days ago because I have been having some trouble sleeping. I don’t know much about this kind of thing but I thought “hey let’s give it a shot!” Angela was who helped me and she was amazing! She walked me through everything, asked me questions to help understand what I wanted. Not once did she make me feel dumb for not knowing or like a question I had was dumb. 10/10 will definitely be back to see Angela!
Auntie Bluntie in the house always looking for my Sluggers . I had a wonderful time I felt like a kid in a candy store how everything is set up the staff was friendly very knowledgeable they had a lot of promotions and pretty good deals I can pretty much guarantee you that @Auntie_Bluntie will be shopping there when I come out to the area.
