Harborside Oakland Dispensary
About Harborside Oakland Dispensary
Out on Embarcadero in Oakland's East Peralta neighborhood, Harborside Oakland Dispensary is one of the most established names in California cannabis, with a 4.5 across more than 2,900 reviews. The membership-versus-loyalty program comes up in reviews, with staff like Akil credited for actually explaining the difference and how it affects pricing — useful detail in a system that isn't always transparent. The shop has a dedicated parking lot, which matters in Oakland and which several reviewers explicitly note as a safety and convenience perk. Open every day 8 AM to 9 PM, with morning discount windows that get called out: pre-noon visits on certain days can pull 30% off select items. Beyond the practical perks, what shows up repeatedly is the inclusive service. Multiple reviewers — including transgender and disabled customers — describe being treated with care and dignity. That kind of consistent, thoughtful service is what makes Harborside a Bay Area institution worth visiting.

Customer Reviews
I love coming here for the quality products and fantastic staff. I needed to go in instead of my usual delivery, so decided to look into why my membership wasn’t showing up right. Norbert rang me up with a smile and took the time to get to the bottom of my membership issue. He got me all taken care of with no problems. Great staff like him are part of what keeps me coming back,
Norbert was AWESOME!!! He took his time to make sure that all the items I wanted were correct. He was knowledgeable about the products and all the sales that were ongoing. Friendly and made us feel welcome in the store. He also had great alternatives to some strains that were sold out. Also Harborside does a good job of keeping popular Brands/Strains well stocked. Norbert, THANK YOU AGAIN!! We had a very large order and you were very attentive. Keep up the great work and we will see u again.
Harborside is my favorite collective In the entire bay area, their staff is knowledgeable, kind and tolerant; asking customers how they would like to be addressed. As a transgender MS patient, they treat members like VIPs, regardless of race, Creed, religion, color, status, or sexuality, and giving disabled members the dignity they deserve with a wheelchair lift and an open heart. I wouldn’t go to another dispensary unless I was In physical pain, without cannabis and in another city ❤️🩹💜💕
Akil was very knowledgeable and helped me to understand the membership system vs being a loyal member as well as the sale prices that showed online. I really appreciate him noticing my birthday and wishing me a happy belated. His customer service is appreciated & on point
Great location. James was the best with his help and knowledge of the product and my questions. Parking lot is great. You don't have to worry about your car. Getting bothered or messed with was an enjoyable experience and if you come before noon they give you 30% off on certain days which is great
