Dope Sugar
About Dope Sugar
On Melrose Ave in the Melrose neighborhood, Dope Sugar pulls a 4.9-star rating across 668 reviews. The big draw: doors open at 6 AM every single day, which is rare in Central LA where most cannabis stores don't open until 9 or 10 AM. The shop runs until 10 PM, giving it one of the longest daily windows in the area. Customers describe a clean, safe space with a large edible bench — gummies, CBD, THC options — plus vapes and other regular cannabis store inventory. Staff get praised for being patient and educational, especially with first-timers asking about CBD vs THC. The interior layout gets called out as cute and well thought out, which is a real touch in a category where most shops feel utilitarian. If you're a Melrose local, an early-morning shopper, or just want a Central LA cannabis store with personality, this earns a stop. Adult-use 21 and over with valid government-issued ID at the door.

Customer Reviews
Such a nice, clean, safe space. The customer service is profound. They seek to educate you and are really patient. They had inventory that other neighboring dispensaries would typically be out of. I’ll absolutely be back.
It’s not very often I rush to Google to leave a review of a dispensary, but this place is awesome! I went for my first time today because Google said they were open at 6AM (which they were). That is very handy for this area most shops open at 9 or even sometimes 10. Then the store itself has a cute layout and a large selection of edibles, vapes, and weed. The prices were crazy affordable I thought the sign was a typo, but it was not. And then they give you 25% off your visit, so it’s even cheaper. When I finally got home, I have to say I was very impressed with the quality of the bud. I believe I got their house blend, and for an ounce it was well under $100, which is rare anywhere! They have a parking lot too which is handy and they accept debit cards. The budtender said they are woman owned too, which as a woman is awesome! I think this may be my new spot!
I love Dope Sugar. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, the shop is always clean and well organized, and the prices are very affordable. It’s my go‑to dispensary near me and I appreciate being able to order weed online for quick pickup. I’m excited to return for my next purchase.
From the moment I walked in, the staff at Dope Sugar made me feel welcome. They were friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to answer my questions about CBD and THC gummies. The checkout process was quick and the vibe was relaxed. I left feeling confident in my choices and will definitely return to this cannabis store.
5/5 stars - each star for customer care, product quality, atmosphere, speed, and value. I love Dope Sugar! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helped me. I appreciated how they answered all my questions and made the ordering process easy. I will definitely be back.
