Potent is a fantastic new addition to the neighborhood, and I genuinely hope people start discovering it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is relaxed, clean, and welcoming -- not intimidating, not rushed, just easy. Faizan, the owner, truly sets the tone. He's incredibly knowledgeable and actually takes the time to ask questions and understand what you're looking for. His recommendations have been consistently spot on -- whether I'm looking for something mellow and creative or something to fully unwind. It never feels transactional. It feels thoughtful. The pricing is competitive (which matters), the selection is solid, and the overall experience feels personal in a way that a lot of bigger dispensaries just don't. You can tell there's intention behind how this place is run. I'm honestly so happy they're just a block from my place -- but even if they weren't, I'd still make the trip. If you're nearby, do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

First time going into Potent and I have to say I really liked how private it feels. It definitely gives off a neighborhood vibe, which is very welcoming. The staff were very kind, attentive and helpful. I was looking to purchase an indica disposable pen and they took the time to show me different options while also giving me recommendations, which is always super helpful. The store itself is also very well organized, making everything easy to see and browse without feeling overwhelming. They have a great selection and overall the experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely will be coming back. read more

My husband & I have been shopping here since the day they opened. Every person that works here has been super nice and very knowledgeable about their products. They ask what I'm looking for, it's usually for pain or sleeplessness, and they recommend things. They have been spot on for meeting my needs. They are a welcome addition to a neighborhood that has been slowly dying for the last few years. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work. read more

Came here last night after I discovered this dispensary. I have been to a handful of dispensaries throughout San Francisco, and this place was 5/5 all the way around. Friendly and knowledgeable service, and great products. This was walking distance from my gym, so very convenient. Also a great place if you live in the neighborhood. This might be my new regular place where I stock up. read more

Super friendly, accommodating/helpful. I wish I had interacted with the doggie, but I needed to be in and out. I would definitely recommend to anyone and will be going back. I kept telling myself I would remember the name of the guy that helped me and all I remember is that his name started with an F, and he had a full beard. I'm happy to have them in my neighborhood. read more
