    Products from the Limited edition Getaway Bag
    Margarita G.

    Great products, friendly staff & sometimes they have some good deals. I've been coming here for sometime now and never had a bad experience. They have a selection of prerolls, flower, edibles, etc. If you have questions the staff is great at answering them.

    Heavy Hitters cart, suggested by Jason from mammoth

    Service was awesome as well as their selection of deals. Definitely saved some cash! Also had a random conversation with a vendor or delivery guy named Jason, cool dude and knowledgeable, thanks for the heavy hitters suggestions! This was some days ago so my bad for being late Jason!

    PLUS AND WYLD GUMMIES
    Patrick P.

    My first time in here (7/5/24 @ 5:30pm) and it did not disappoint! I was too excited to check it out and tried to walk in w/o checking in but I was welcomed in comfortably by front desk & security & as a first timer I was offered 25% off. Thanks yall! Right on the other side of the wall, I was greeted/helped by John right away. Amazing service off the dome. Came in for some PLUS CBD gummies and also asked for some suggestions based on my preferences and John suggested WYLD gummies which funny enough was my brother's recommendation so I knew John was out to give me the good stuff. Price was reasonable and everything was labeled. A smooth and easy in and out shop for the quick fix! My friends reached out to proxy something for them but didn't have what they were looking for but all good cuz what we found was a GREAT experience and customer service and oh yeah the gummies too ‍ Guess we found the local dispensary. *where's the "chef's kiss" emoji at*

    Small little place but can get the job done if you know your stuff or just trying things out. As you go you check in every time you go in. Process is very fast and you're in before you know it. The shop is divided by categories such as flower, vapes, wax. My to-gos are vapes so they have a snuggly wall of diverse amount of strains, flavours, price points and whatnot. There's also a discount wall with all the goodies trying to make it out the store. I'm always satisfied with the options they have as they do carry several 1 gram cartridges. Customer service is great. Very knowledgeable and nice people. They do offer or at least accepted some old coupons which was a nice gesture. Discounts are rarely offered here though. Always welcoming and helpful staff that's a plus.

    Date: 1/14/2022 Time: 6:05 PM 58° Cool It's my first time here at this cannabis club. Wow wee!! I never thought my first review for 2022 would be a cannabis club. I am not one to do a puff, puff, pass on Mary Jane. Then I'm not gonna sing "I'm in love with Mary Jane; she's my main thing..." (song by Rick James). I'm not gonna say how many years ago that I lit one up and ended with the "munchies" of pizza and salty snacks. LOL. My husband and I drop in to purchase some Papa and Barkley 3:1 Releaf Balm. Because being a first timer, the gentleman at the front counter has to scan my state ID before allowing me access to the area where an assortment of cannabis products are sold. I'm glad Embarc has the balm in stock. Their inventory is neatly organized and I see something in the refrigerator that perks my interest - cannabis infused beverages in fruity flavors for a fruity girl as myself. I am always concerned regarding the grams of sugar in these beverages for health reasons. The female employee assisting us shows me the nutritional chart on these beverages. Zero gram of sugar. Okay, that works for me. The place is clean and well lit. Employees are pleasant and helpful. Some items are pricy. That is to be expected. Prices will not stop me from visiting in the future to purchase a few of those fruity beverages. The only drawback is street parking can be problematic in front of the business.

    I had never been inside a cannabis dispensary before as I don't partake, but I was with a buddy who want to stop by this place, based in no small part on the wonderful reviews. We parked about a block away. This place is on the busy Webster Street retail district in Alameda. So parking can be a little tricky. But we were able to find a metered spot right on webster. Upon entering the establishment we were greeted and the gentleman (I believe his name was Lars) who helped us was so knowledgeable. I asked many (likely dumb) questions, and each one received a thorough and thoughtful answer. I learned so much. Thank you for a great first experience at a dispensary, Embarc!

    Henry's pre roll's Sativa

    Great staff and fast convenient service. They also have a good selection of pre-rolls, flower, edibles, and drinks. Street parking only and near a bus stop. I recommend check out their website for daily deals or holiday specials. They accept cash and credit cards, and I think they may have a ATM machine inside.

    Good selection of buds

    Good guys and gals working here with good securities. Enjoyed all their products and the vibe inside the shop. Everyone is always so helpful and friendly helping answering questions. Big shout out to Andres!

    Manisha was very friendly and helped me super quickly. I've come in here a couple times after work and the vibe inside along with the friendly and knowledgeable staff always leave me with a great experience. The inside is also very aesthetically pleasing and there's a nice ambiance. Everything I've purchased here before i've been extremely satisfied with and they carry a great selection

    2nd time here. Place is super chill, everyone super nice (staff, security, customers). Here for 420…read moreevent/discounts and they have The Terkulator bump'n outside at 9am. LOL We got here at 8:30am and there was already a line of about 20 people in front of us. Everyone has the same idea for 420! Good times! We live on the peninsula but come here for the wellness. It's hard to find the stuff we like and what works for us so we come here, they have a large selection. Alondra helped me this morning. She was sweet and engaging with her customers. They had everything I needed and wanted except for one tincture (I'm assuming because it was cheap on sale). My whole family loves the C.A.D. brand and it's hard to find but they seem to always have several in stock. Alondra was friendly and quick in ringing me up (but not pushy to get me out the door even though the line was long behind us). We thought about partaking in a smoke sess in the back but decided we needed coffee, not wake and bake already. Cute outdoor area though, maybe next time.

    I've come in now twice and haven't left disappointed. But, I supposed a dispensary isn't the place…read morefor that. On my first visit I got 20% off, and though everyone gets this deal, whenever I go to a new dispensary this makes me feel special. I was also told about their happy hour that is from Sunday - Wednesday between 4-7pm - everything is 20% off during that time frame so that was the next time I came. The service is quick. It's never really been busy when I've walked in so I've been able to walk right up to the bud tender each time without having to wait. The selection is wide, but I don't look at all of that. Just what I need. Y'know how pulling money from the atm charges that extra fee? Hate that. I went to my bank's atm prior and pulled money but was a dollar short during happy hour. I was just gonna get something cheaper, no biggie, but the budtender ended up just giving me a dollar to get my stuff, and I think that was such a nice high life move. Much appreciated.

Special shout out to McKay and Lili (my apologies if I misspelled any names) for helping me apply a discount coupon!

    I VISITED THIS LOCATION ON FRIDAY, JULY 3RD…read more This place is absolutely the WORST dispensary I have ever been to in California. Whoever the lady with pink hair is at the front should find another role that suits her disposition, customer service is not for her. She was rude, condescending and not helpful at all. I hope this was an off day for this location because there were so many issues inside and outside of the dispensary, it was unreal. 1. Security guard was on his phone until we walked up. Security looks at our identification and directs us to the lady with the pink hair. 2. There is cleaning equipment (shopvacs or cleaning machines?) in front of the concentrates case which made it difficult to look at the items. There were 2 cleaning people cleaning around the shelves and windows etc, we couldn't tell if they worked there or were a cleaning service until we asked if they could help us and was told they were not employees. 3. Pink hair, said she needed to make us profiles. She had my passport for quite sometime and DID NOT ENTER A PROFILE! 4. There were 3 budtenders behind the counter and one of them was on his phone. One of them was helping a customer, the other was standing there. No one approached us to see if we had questions or needed help. 4. The signage in the case was unclear and prompted questions. I stood in line, and the budtender was very nice. I asked my question then told him I was going back to the case to take a look at something else. I had another question, by now there were a few customers but the one bud tender was standing around on his phone. Pink hair had no customers. I approached her and asked if she could see if someone was available to help because I had a couple questions about items in the case. She told me I could "pop back in line" and someone would help me. The look on my face must have showed how I felt because I just stood in line and there was a budtender not helping anyone. I have never had this experience at any of the MANY dispensaries I have visited in this and other states. I asked if she could answer a question. She reluctantly came over. I asked about the signage, saying "last chance" I asked if these were expired or discounted items. She proceeded to tell me it was the last of the batches (which I understood) and some may be discounted but not like they used to be because "corporate says no" Very disrespectful of the company you work for to speak this way. At this point, I was still going to spend money here and went back to the line. I didn't get his name but he was tall with glasses and very pleasant. 5. There is a HUGE banner outside that says 30% off for first timers. I was a first timer. The bud tender asked if I had been to Nug before I said I THINK I may have gone to San Leandro years ago. He asked me to hold on and he checked something in the computer, he said I had no profile, I could go over to Pink hair and she could enter it. 6. I then went over to Pink hair who said I was not able to use the first time discount, I said I think I may have visited a location years ago but wasn't sure, (I have been to alot of storefronts. She said sorry, corporate wouldn't allow it. I then went back over to the budtender and told him she said no. His response was what, why? Pink hair begins yelling across the store (which has a handful of customers now that Corporate wasn't going to allow it) The budtender was very apologetic and appeared to confused by her behavior as well. 7. Let me stress the fact that I HAVE NO PROFILE ON FILE! At this point I decided to leave without purchasing, I was disrespected and belittled and would not be paying anyone to treat me this way. On the way out, Pink hair yells across the store "sorry, corporate won't allow it" Won't allow what, is my question??? I had no profile on file! To NUG management, please be aware of the way your staff treats customers. I just happened to stop in and check out the inventory at a new place on my drive home. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY rodeo in town. With all the dispensaries in they Bay Area, you might want to tighten up! *A good review only goes so far most times, but a BAD REVIEW goes even further!*
