The Reserve San Diego - Kearny Mesa Cannabis Dispensary
About The Reserve San Diego - Kearny Mesa Cannabis Dispensary
Operating in Kearny Mesa at 8863 Balboa Avenue, The Reserve opens at 7 AM and runs until 10 PM seven days a week, which is one of the longer schedules around. The 4.9-star rating across 459 reviews skews toward customers who appreciate a smaller, more curated shop over a sprawling warehouse-style operation. First-time visitors typically get 25% off, which is competitive with other San Diego dispensaries. Longtime cannabis shoppers compare The Reserve favorably against bigger names. The team gets called out for being thorough rather than transactional, taking time to explain options and check in on returning customers. Holiday giveaways and a community feel show up in reviews, and budtenders like Sarah earn their own mentions. If you're tired of feeling like a ticket number at high-volume dispensaries in San Diego proper, the Kearny Mesa Reserve offers a slower, friendlier counterpoint with quality products and competitive deals.
- Smaller curated shop, personal feel

Customer Reviews
It’s a smaller shop but they are thorough and they have some decent deals. 25% off first time nothing to complain about. Definitely a smaller shop though. I would return.
Friendly, knowledgeable service. Extremely patient when explaining items. Def feel comfortable. Def a place to visit when in town. Sarah was amazing & so helpful!
I have to say I’ve been to every dispensary in San Diego over the course of the past 15 to 20 years and the reserve on Balboa hands-down not only has the best selection but the best people around! I will only come here as I feel like I’m part of the family and as a bonus, I did win their Thanksgiving giveaway, which was a godsend as I had surgery and it truly helped my recovery process. Thanks a lot guys and gals keep up the great work. You guys are truly amazing and I sincerely appreciated all of you and all that you do.
Camryn, Sarah, Ryan were absolutely amazing and so helpful!
Lauren has helped me a couple times now and has been so patient, helpful and knowledgeable with what I’m looking for. My other interactions with everyone else, including the security guards, have been just as pleasant. Love coming here always- easy in and out!
