I've been coming to this location since it first opened which is something like 10+ years ago and…read moreeach time I come I spend several hundred dollars. Back then they had a great service, great employees, great management, great selection, and great prices. Over the years the product selection started shrinking and they stopped carrying my favorite brands and products, and the website became super buggy. Now they have changed management again and I think they got bought out by a corporation called STIIIZY. STIIIZY AS A BRAND AND AS A COMPANY IS PURE TRASH AND SO IS THE NEW MANAGEMENT! The product selection is terrible now and half the time they say they have things in stock online and then when you go to the actual location they are out of stock. The products are overpriced and less potent with a small selection and all the best brands like Costal Sun, Maven, Fig Farms, ABX, etc. are no longer carried just so they can promote their lousy STIIIZY products. The website is super buggy and constantly redirects itself in a loop between the actual 7th St. store location as the supplier and STIIIZY itself being used as the supplier. Prices seen online for the same item are different depending on if you're buying from the actual 7th St location or through STIIIZY even though they're the same place, which is super confusing. The website always has trouble with online coupons and promo codes. The staff is usually polite but a lot of the employees don't seem very intelligent. Half of them look like they've been stoned the whole day and they can't even answer basic questions, they are super slow and look totally dazed and confused. Here's a thought, be professional and don't smoke at work! The staff can't seem to count the items in orders properly so you're likely to get orders with missing items; worst of all is that when there are issues/problems or major inconveniences the staff and management will do nothing to help or make up for the trouble. My last three orders placed online were incorrect and missing items. In the past, on several occasions they gave me the wrong change or gave my order to someone else. When you buy STIIIZY items with a set weight, like a 3.5 gram or 7 gram package of flower the actual amount you get is far less. I've had 3 times where when I weighed out a brand new 7 gram pouch of flower it was actually around only 5 grams so STIIIZY is basically shorting and stealing from their customers. Last time I ordered online for an in person pickup I ordered 10 items and had to call 3 times to get an update on my order and when I was told it was finally ready & I arrived to pick it up, it was missing 5 items. How hard is it for their high-as-a-kite employees to count to 10! Then they said sorry we're out of the items you wanted... Well that's why I ordered them hours ago when they were in stock but since the staff is often stoned, they can't focus on their jobs and pack/fulfill orders properly or in a timely manner. To make matters worse when I told the bud tender who was helping me that 5 items missing from order is not cool he started to give me attitude and push me out of his line. UNACCEPTABLE! I told the manager how bad my experience has been and how downhill everything at this location has gone, he said many people have complained about the same things and that he can't do a single thing to make things better. No discount or credit, no complimentary item for the bad experiences, not even an apology. STIIIZY/CALIVA/their management and employees are all incompetent and inept. The way this business is being run is absolutely pathetic and it needs to get shut down. After being a devoted and loyal customer for 10+ years who has spent thousands of dollars here, I AM ABSOLUTELY DONE WITH THIS PLACE! THIS PLACE IS A JOKE AND NOT WORTH THE HEADACHES AND DRAMA. I'd be willing to pay twice as much somewhere else to never have to deal with incompetence of STIIIZY/Caliva again. Corporations really do ruin everything and STIIIZY took a damn fine dispensary and completely screwed it up and that's why I hope this place goes bankrupt because the corporation totally deserves it. Trust me, find a different dispensary because this place is an utter asinine failure.

Harborside San Jose is top tier. My #1 go-to. Every time I go -- whether I'm stopping in person, calling ahead for product inquiries, or pulling up at 8am sharp for the weekend 50% member discount -- the energy is consistent. No pushy upsells. No dead retail autopilot. Same warm welcome whether it's early morning or sliding before a pregame. That kind of consistency matters. Huge shoutout to Yeriyo, the store manager. You can tell he runs the floor the moment you're in line. Calm, attentive, and clearly leading by example. He put me on game about inventory drops and what's landing across Harborside and their sister stores -- which is clutch if you're tracking limited live rosin or specific brands. Down to earth, easy to talk to, and running a tight shift. Another big shoutout to Sunshine. I first met her at Urban Leaf when she helped me navigate their live rosin selection. I'll admit -- I ask very specific questions and I've been told I can be a "difficult" customer. She passed with flying colors. Knows her strains. Knows her extraction. Knows her game. Even when I call for product inquiries, she exceeds expectations. If something's out of stock, she manages expectations clearly and adds me to their call list. That's old-school customer service -- the kind that builds real loyalty. What I appreciate most is that Harborside and Urban Leaf represent cannabis culture properly. Knowledgeable staff. Authentic energy. No corporate script reading. Just people who actually understand the product and care about the experience. Harborside San Jose -- real MVP status.

CA Collective - Phelan (1 Star)…read more CA Collective used to carry a respectable concentrate lineup. In the past, you could occasionally find brands like Apex -- products that had broader market visibility and were even discussed across other state markets and enthusiast communities. Unfortunately, that side of their menu has largely disappeared. Today, the focus appears heavily centered on in-house flower and vape cartridges. Concentrates are minimal -- typically limited to ABX (around $30), Raw Garden ($35-$40), and Almora Farms, which is often priced significantly higher than what you'll find at other dispensaries in the area. For shoppers specifically looking for live rosin or a broader extract selection, the options are extremely limited. Pricing is where the biggest concern lies. Premium flower such as UpNorth listed at $75-$80 per eighth is difficult to justify in the current market. At that price point, it feels disconnected from standard San Jose pricing and edges into what many would consider excessive. Even the in-house flower, while convenient, lands closer to mid-tier quality at best. It almost creates the impression that pricing structure is designed to funnel customers toward in-house products rather than compete on broader brand selection or value. For out-of-town visitors unfamiliar with local pricing, this may not raise immediate red flags. However, for regular consumers who understand the current San Jose market, the value proposition is difficult to defend. If you're looking for a more curated and competitively priced dispensary experience, Haze would be a stronger alternative nearby. At the moment, CA Collective feels out of step with the surrounding market -- and until pricing and concentrate selection improve, it's a hard recommendation
