About The Green Spot Santa Cruz (formerly 3Bros)

Formerly known as 3Bros, The Green Spot Santa Cruz holds a 4.5-star rating across 452 reviews and sits on Fair Avenue. The most distinctive feature: a viewing window into the on-site cannabis garden, which most dispensaries don't offer. The in-house flower gets specific praise as prime quality. Loyal regulars mention coming for years and knowing the owners personally, which gives the shop a neighborhood feel that bigger retailers can't fake. Hours are long, 9 AM to 9 PM every day, and the location offers great parking plus nearby shops, restaurants, a wine bar, cafes, and the New Leaf supermarket. That makes it easy to combine a dispensary stop with other errands. The selection covers a wide range, and the budtenders are described as just good people. For Santa Cruz visitors and locals who want a real shop rather than a chain feel, this Santa Cruz cannabis store fits.

Customers mention:
  • Garden viewing window inside
  • Prime in-house flower
  • Friendly owner-operated feel
  • Great surrounding neighborhood

The Staff here is unmatched, they’re so nice and helpful. Downright just good people. Their in-house flower is prime.

I’ve been coming to this dispensary for years. I met the green spot owners and they’re super nice. The bud tenders are really sweet. Still my favorite dispensary in Santa Cruz. Great parking. Great nearby shops, restaurants, Wine bar, cafés, New Leaf supermarket. It’s a hub. and of course, they have a great selection of everything you could possibly want for your cannabis experience.

Visited your store back in April when I was there for my Birthday! I even got to spin the wheel! I’m from NC so this was an experience for me! The staff was warm and welcoming, patient and kind. If you’re ever in SC, do yourself a favor and get you 3bros!

This was my first stop in Santa Cruz, CA! After a long drive from Sequoia National Park I needed to relax big time. Let's just say thank god I found this place through others positive online reviews. Place was amazing with the viewing window of their garden and the products they carried had something for everyone. I'm old so I really appreciated the "St. Ide's" THC drinks. Back in the day when I could pound some 40's that was my malt liquor of choice. Now I'm 48 and malt liquor gives me the runs, soooooo I was stoked when I saw St. Ides in a form that I can easily drink and digest. : ) It was ON POINT! Though I do not recommend sipping on it before you go on the "Giant Dipper" on the Santa Cruz boardwalk, but that's another story. The staff was very nice and knowledgable. I didn't feel any pressure due to them being 100% transparent about their many different brands. I really appreciate Alec because he took time with me in listening to what I was exactly looking for. I also have to give a shout out to my boy MadZen. He was a pleasure on the phone even after I asked him if he was using his "hip hop" name, he wasn't, that's his name. I usually call dispensaries before I go there to get a feel if they are legit or going to waste my time. After speaking to him, I knew that this will be my first California dispensary and I'm very happy with my choice! All in all, cool vibe, great layout, great staff, I give this place 5/5 every day all day!

Michael Mcgreevy

Amazing store. Very professional and friendly. Walked in and was greeted by the entire staff, all willing to help. Great products inside like oils, edibles, and flowers that we sampled several of. The fresh made cookies from big Pete’s are great too. Special shoutout to the staff. Will definitely be back when thru next time. Peace from Louisville, Kentucky
