Oakanna
About Oakanna
On Lakeshore Avenue in Oakland's Lakeshore neighborhood, Oakanna holds a 4.5 across 304 reviews. The shop's main selling point is value: multiple reviewers describe Oakanna as the most reasonably priced dispensary in the area after comparing options, which is a meaningful position in a market where SF and inner Oakland pricing can run high. Open every day 6 AM to 10 PM — that early opening is unusual and useful, especially for Lakeshore commuters and morning shoppers. Selection comes up as well-stocked with a good range of options, and the cozy interior gets called out as a comfortable place to browse. Staff is described as helpful, especially with newer customers learning the ropes. There's some inconsistency mentioned in customer service across shifts, and the email confirmation flow for online orders has been flagged as a bit unclear. But the core experience — fair prices, broad selection, easy hours — lands solidly. Good Lakeshore-area option.

So good! I buy from here regularly and they always have a really great variety of choices. I’m fairly new to smoking and the staff are always so helpful with recs or answering questions. Very cozy vibe inside too which is fun! Would definitely recommend 10/10
MY FAVORITE DISPENSARY. Always professional. Has amazing deals. Feels good being in their store. Great deals for everyone.
**edit** I went in today to grab my order and the night crew people were actually pretty chill and didn’t look at me with contempt lol. I do wish the email you get once you order would say something like “to fulfill your order, please go to the store,” instead of being misleading but, I have compared prices and Oakanna is the most reasonably priced store I’ve found PLUS you accrue points so👍🏽 If you order online, you’ll never hear from them. I put in an order on Monday and I never received a text telling me to pick up my order, it’s Thursday. I once asked them why they don’t take care of online orders, the guy said “oh sometimes we’re busy.” YOURE BUSY FOR FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT?🥴 mind you, whenever I go in there’s like 3 customers so I really don’t understand what their deal is, lazy? Oh and the people who work there look at you with contempt like they absolutely hate you.
Oakanna is a very solid dispensary in a convenient location. They have a wide selection of products to choose from and the prices are super reasonable. The friendly service is what keeps me coming back, though - the budtenders make really good recommendations and bring a chill, positive, helpful vibe. Make a pit stop here before you brave the Trader Joe's crowd - you'll thank me later.
I have been an Oakanna customer since they opened. They opened in my old neighborhood. It pains me to write this review. While prices are good, customer service has deteriorated so much I can no longer support this business. On this evening I waited my place in line and was called to the counter by a young woman. I placed my order with her. She seemed confused and told me her co-worker would help me. Fair enough, I thought. Maybe she was new. I placed my order with a young cashier who has waited on me on numerous occasions in the past. I say young, because I’m no spring chicken and am old enough to be his grandmother. The woman who had initially called me to the counter had since began helping the woman who was in line behind me. She was struggling to fulfill the order of the woman who had been behind me. She asked help of the young man helping me, who had nearly completed ringing me out. Before my transaction was complete, he turned his attention to the woman who had been in line behind me. I kindly asked him to complete my transaction before helping the woman who was behind me in line. He continued to help this woman ignoring my request. I found this disrespectful. I am fed up with bad service and cheeky, young cashiers. I asked to end the transaction and give me my money back. Hell, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a weed store in Oakland, right? The cheeky, young cashier turned his attention back to me and said, and I quote, “did that transaction go through?” He looked at the card reader. It had. He then said “good, because if it hadn’t, I wouldn’t have sold it two you.” I really didn’t know what to say to that except “please refund my money.” The cheeky, young cashier told me he couldn’t . He disappeared to the “back” and returned with someone who I can only assume was a manager. I told the manager what happened. He acknowledged I was calm and respectful, never raising my voice. He said he would talk to the cheeky, young cashier, who had since retreated to the other end of the counter. I watched but could not hear. The assumed manager returned to apologize for the employee. I asked if that was it. I expected the employee to apologize, but apparently there was to be no consequences for his disrespectful treatment toward me for merely wanting him to finish ringing me up. Assumed manager asked me to wait for a moment. I did. He went to the “back” and returned to the counter with a joint. He expected to buy me off with a joint. In all the time they have been open and I HAD been their loyal customer, I’VE NEVER PURCHASED FLOWER. So, if you want a dispensary that cares more about their cheeky, disrespectful employees over the satisfaction of loyal customers, then go to Oakanna. For me, I’ll be back at Harborside. There is plenty of parking, they have a bigger selection with amazing discounts, but most of all, they are always kind and appreciate my business. In fact, if you have a defective product, you will not get a hassle at Harborside. If you had asked me before today if I had any complaints about Oakanna, I would have said I had a very difficult time returning a defective product, but that the matter was eventually resolved to my satisfaction. The disrespect from the cheeky, young cashier is just too much. Goodbye Oakanna.
