Alternatives East Dispensary
About Alternatives East Dispensary
Quieter shopping experiences are underrated. Alternatives East at 2300 Bethards Dr in Santa Rosa is the kind of Cannabis store where you might be the only customer for stretches, which is exactly what some shoppers want. The 4.8 rating across 116 reviews points to a shop that gets the basics right consistently. Edibles, tinctures, and other products are displayed openly so customers can browse without asking a budtender to retrieve every item. The same great staff from the original Alternatives location run things here, and reviewers note the selection is just as strong if not better. Hemp wraps and solventless half-grams get specific call-outs as nice-to-haves. Hours run 9am to 9pm every day. The debit machine round-up feature lets shoppers donate or save without thinking about it, and pre-tax pricing keeps the math transparent. For Santa Rosa locals who want a calmer dispensary trip, Alternatives East is the quieter option.

Customer Reviews
Best store in Santa Rosa . Especially the west branch. Can't wait for it to be up and running again . I miss my bud tenders.
One of my favorite dispensary’s they have bomb deals going 24/7 and all of the people there are so incredibly nice!
I always knew this place had two locations, but walking in to the east location was a new experience. I appreciate that all the edibles and tinctures and whatnot are all out on display for you to take a look at. If you're looking for a slower more quiet time in a dispensary, it would be at alternatives east due to its location. I tend to be the only one whenever I come in, which I enjoy. Not only is the shopping experience great, so are those deals on the weed! Head here in your spare time and pickup some product, ya know you want to.
I love this place!! The selection of dabs, especially the displays, are very user friendly. I also love how this location actually has hemp wraps! This place uses the debit-machine-round-up thing and the prices are before tax, which is fine. And plus they have the solventless stizzy half grams which is nice. The staff themselves are great! Ross and Sesar really know their stuff and it’s always really fun to talk to Rufus. I’ve been to Alternatives other location and in comparison, I would probably prefer the older building but that’s just my nostalgic preference lol
The new Alternatives East! Where do I begin! It comes with the same great staff you have at the original location, for starters. The selection is just as good IF NOT BETTER. All of my favorite edibles, pre-rolls, and flower! And more new comers for me to choose from! I highly recommend this dispensary to anyone in the Sonoma County/ Wine County area! Great aura, great prices, and even better people!
