About Cali Love 101

On El Camino Real in Salinas, Cali Love 101 sits in a category of its own among local cannabis stores — part dispensary, part art gallery, with original local artwork on the walls that defines the space. The shop holds a 4.3 rating across 28 reviews, with newer customers describing a hidden gem feel and a strong sense of community. The owner gets repeat mention for being personally engaged with customers, including pre-announcing exclusive product drops (one reviewer mentions an upcoming forbidden fruit strain release from the strain's actual breeder). Selection leans curated rather than massive, with products you won't find at every Salinas dispensary. Hours run a consistent 10 AM to 8 PM every day. If you want a Salinas cannabis store that feels closer to a thoughtful boutique than a transactional retail counter, Cali Love 101 is the one to walk into slowly.

Customers mention:
  • Doubles as art gallery
  • Curated product selection
  • Owner personally engaged
  • Exclusive strain drops

First time. LOVE that this is nearly all Emerald Triangle craft growers Staff was great - hard to find with google map. Google sent me on a wild goose chase Ridgeline and Huckberry Farms! And Budularo. Redwood All the best growers

This is definitely one of my favorite dispensaries after only going once. The owner is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and kind, as are her staff. I greatly enjoyed my visit to this dispensary. I believe the owner said in November of 2025 she would have some forbidden fruit from the person who invented forbidden fruit which I'm absolutely ecstatic about. They sell primarily smaller farm's products who grow really good stuff and aren't over commercialized or bud that has been altered so much all it does is have a bland yet potent feeling. No they carry actual product that the effects have some uniqueness and body to. Also the company tries to be a majority female ran within the boundaries of not being discriminatory. If you haven't checked this place out yet, I highly urge you too. I was very happy I did.

Love this new shop in the 831! Friendly, knowledgeable staff and supporting small local farmers is awesome! Loved the vibe with a solid selection to choose from...even has some nice artwork for sale😲. If you're in the area or just driving through, give them a shot...easy accessibility and I will be returning. Mahalo!🤙🏽

Cali Love 101 has a really unique vibe—part dispensary, part art gallery. The space feels personal and creative, with original local art on the walls that gives it a distinct character. It’s not your typical dispensary experience. The products are thoughtfully chosen, and I came across a few I haven’t seen elsewhere. The staff was friendly without being pushy, and the overall atmosphere felt relaxed and genuine. It’s clear they care about quality and the local community, which makes it a spot worth visiting if you’re looking for something a little different.
