Nectar
About Nectar
Out on W 18th Street in Merced, Nectar has racked up over 1,200 reviews with a steady 4.8 rating — the kind of footprint a dispensary earns by getting the basics right most of the time. The team gets specifically called out for patience and product knowledge. Ben, in particular, comes up across multiple reviews as someone who explains options without rushing and treats regulars like regulars. Selection is broad enough to keep return customers cycling through new finds. The shop runs long hours: 8 AM to 10 PM every single day, weekends included, which makes it a reliable stop whether you're picking up before work or rolling through after dinner. Not every visit hits the same note. A handful of reviewers have flagged days where service felt rushed or distracted. But the bulk of feedback points to a friendly crew, decent variety, and Merced pricing that doesn't punish you. If you're shopping in the Central Valley and want a no-drama dispensary, Nectar is a defensible pick.

Customer Reviews
It was good they staff are very nice and Ben was really nice and understanding especially since we only had change
This is the chilliest dispensary in town. The vibes are so nice I didn't want to leave. The bid tenders are knowledgeable and helpful. The prices and variety are unmatched. Definitely check this place out.
I'm a regular that likes to take my time and ask questions when I visit, it's part of my buying process. I've been helped by the majority of the team and for the most part everyone has been patient and provided great customer service. Today unfortunately that was shattered due to an employee that clearly had other things to do than help me. Very unaware of the products and kept pushing everything other than what I was asking for. I've been going here for over 5 years, but will now consider another location.
“Great service!” BEN was super friendly and knew their stuff. They recommended exactly what I needed and it worked perfectly. Definitely coming back.
Ben was great and super helpful. I love coming here. Staff is always so great. Vreay selection.
