I visited yesterday and had a wonderful experience. I was referred by a friend and was very pleased with the service I received. Check in was a breeze and everyone was very pleasant, welcoming and provided ample resources for what this location provides. Everyone's journey is their own and Zide door provides a safe space with knowledgeable employees who can offer recommendations and guidance based on your desired experience and situation. Employees were empathetic, patient and caring, this is the way to go if you are interested in embarking on a spiritual journey or awakening. They are cash only but do have ATM's available.

Zide Door - Churches Near Me - Oakland, California

Visited Zide Door for the first time today and its great reputation is absolutely earned. Getting in and registered was very quick, and everybody was polite and professional. The associates inside are very knowledgeable and do an incredible job helping match you to the best options for you. I was seriously impressed with how personalized the selection felt, and I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town. read more

My name is Anthony wagner I'm from Oakdale California I'm 40 years old and want to thank Zide Door from the bottom of my heart because with the DMT and Psilocybin I get from them I'm gonna be going on 6 years clean off methamphetamine. And now have my family back in my life ,have a full time job landscaping and have my own car. I do recommend YETI mushrooms never encountered such world shattering strain in my life and I only ate 1.7 gram, I'd say strongest trip in my life and I quit cigarettes that night. Thanks Zide Door for all you done for my life..THANKS read more

Wow I'm shocked at some of the poor reviews. Everything is just fine here. I once came in and a very grumpy man was yelling at staff for having a bad trip. (I politely interrupted his rant and let him know that was his own journey) This place is easily accessible, friendly and has been super helpful in my spiritual journey of life! :) No complaints. I'm thankful to find this! read more

IYKYK I had no expectations walking into the doors of this facility, but I'm so glad I did. I left with a free sample because I was a new member; I bought a 20pk of shroom gummies for $30 as well as 200mg worth of weed gummies for $8. The shroom gummies are legit; I got a new perspective on my life, am better able to stay present, and live in the moment after I tried one out last weekend. The weed gummy was okay but worth $8. It had the feelings of a chill hybrid breed. The fact this facility even legally exists not just in Oakland but in America is a beautiful one-of-a-kind occurrence. Everyone I interacted with was very nice, informative, and welcoming. I'm praying for Zide Door's continued success. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been coming here for years and I give up. It's never been a great experience but I didn't know it could get worse. It's not welcoming, it's not helpful, rarely does anyone even have ANY education on what products they have. I accepted sub par performance but this last time was the absolute worst! They need to take their clients and products more seriously. It's not a donut shop. These are people's livelihoods and some genuinely depend on their products. I didn't ask for any detailed descriptions of all those crazy named products, just to get what I needed or guide me to find something similar. Security guard is always friendly and so are the people who check the ID. The tenders in the back are another story. I have only once met a helpful one once (altho still not friendly) but all the other times they were neither kind nor helpful. This last experience was the absolute worst and I will never come back. I come for a purpose, not fun and giggles, so I take my product seriously as I wish they took their customers. I do not feel like a valued client at all. You cannot see much of the available products, fine I guess. You get a menu (if they let you read it) that is very overwhelming. However if you cannot see the products and the menu is just silly names and prices you should be able to ask SOMETHING about what you are looking for and get SOME education. I came in knowing what I wanted, because it was the same thing I get every time, or something similar. I don't dare try to even ask what something else is anymore. I was told "you can't have that menu to look at. You have to share", literally no one else in the room except who I came with or any other part of the building. So, I had to share a menu, fine whatever. I was rushed. I was trying to read the menu to find what I wanted. I was told I had to go up to the counter and order altho I wasn't ready. I said I wasn't ready but he kept telling me "I'll help who's next. I'll help who's next. I'll help who's next" we the ONLY ONES HERE. So, I go to the counter and tell the guy what I wanted and he just stared at me, no words. Didn't answer me or offer any help. Zero guidance. I said again what I wanted, he literally just stared at me, didn't offer any help again. I said I want micro doses capsules, the 20-25 count (whatever the larger size is), no answer. I said fine, can I show you a picture of what I want? I have it on my phone. He said yes just stand by the wall ( omg he spoke!). I move to the wall and someone else tells me to move over. I said "ok I'm looking for a pic of what I wanted". This happens several times. I keep going where everyone else tells me to go until I'm told to go find a bench. At this point it's painfully obvious and clear I need guidance, I'm not just a lost toddler no one gives a damn about, although I was being treated as one. I'm so confused, not communicated with, ignored when speaking, told I can find what I want and show them a picture, then told to completely leave the area. I track someone down outside the actual room and ask them if they can identify this package. She did. I go back in, tell the guy exactly what I wanted, name size etc. and he just stared at me. I gave up. The person I was with got something they wanted and we left. I mask well but inside I was so anxious and nervous, confused and humiliated. I would have most certainly accepted something similar, I don't always get the exact same thing every time, I know that's not an option and am just grateful there are things available. I'm in my 40s and have spent my life struggling with diagnosis and nothing has ever helped me over the counter or prescribed by a doctor. Finally I discover micro doses and it's a miracle for me. They give me my life back, I am able to be there for my family my children and myself. I drive from over an hour and a half away to get these. read more

Good people. Informative. The genuine thing. Many services. Close to my friend's loft and a safe place to be. The chaps at the door see to that. read more

Great experience. Superior customer service. Easy in and out once you are established. Highly recommend. read more

Zide Door - Chocolate - Churches Near Me - Oakland, California

2 out of the three times I have been there have been pretty bad. If you are providing mind altering substances you should know something about the product but these people knew nothing. First time was disappointing and I thought it was a fluke, second my wife was able to get something to ease her vibes. Third and last time nobody could help us with basic questions, just acted like we were in the way. To the point where my wife left crying. And quality is subpar. read more

Great little place, the outside location is completely different than the inside Staff was very knowledgeable and kind. Swift process read more

Average mushrooms. Very average staff and customer service if you could call it that. Not impressed at all. I'd only go here again if I was really desperate or everything else was closed. Overpriced for what they offer. Nothing religious about it at all. read more

The people are extremely friendly, including their security guards! Their products are of highest quality. I have been dealing with major depression and anxiety for many years, especially the last few years have been the absolute worst for me. I am resistant to antidepressant medication's. I am currently on six different meds and just recently ended my TMS therapy, which was of no luck as well. A friend introduced me to Zibe and it literally has changed my life for the better! Highly recommended! read more

The quality and care shows the people that run this The right questions are asked, the right procedures are in place to make sure only responsible people are capable of access to compassionate care And religious connotations of the sacraments This is the way things should be done with guidance and an adult experience read more

The guy with the black hair keeps giving me the small nugs! I go here often and always have a great experience except for when I get this bud tender he over weighs the bud and then takes out a huge nug and replaces it with the smallest nugs he can find until it adds up to the correct weight. I'd rather have him just break the big nug or give me a new one that is close to the same size but he gives me like 4 small popcorn nugs it's very annoying this has happened 3 times and I said something this time and he said I don't look at it like that if I ever see him again I'll just leave and come back another day read more

Parking was the hardest part of visiting and that was not hard at all. Well run, safe and efficient spot for your mind altering needs. The friendly staff help explain whatever you need help understanding about their products. Cash only, but an ATM is conveniently located. read more

Wow. Just wow. First a couple of notes. The area may feel a little bit concerning to you if you aren't familiar, particularly if you aren't familiar with Oakland as a whole. I love Oakland, But there are definitely dramatic differences, depending on what area you are in. Even so, I have never had a bad experience there, and I tend to like to walk the areas. Zide generally has parking pretty close by, and security inside and outside. I have been struggling with serious depression for a number of years, and as more research has shown that mind altering substances can help with depression, I wanted to try someplace safe and legal to access them. I really cannot say enough about what positive experiences I have had at Zide. Everyone I have dealt with has invariably been kind, thoughtful, and helpful. They include a lot of information about appropriate usage and harm reduction. They answered all my questions, and took time to learn about my concerns and my needs. It's a bit pricey, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. For me it was worth it to be in a place where I knew what I was purchasing was safe to use, as well as to receive guidance. If you have been struggling as I have, I would suggest checking it out. read more

Every time I visit I get excellent service... Jayson helped me today. Great job Jayson! I never go anywhere else for my weed... read more

Zide Door - Discount day - Churches Near Me - Oakland, California

Good selection of products, good security, and good quality of mushrooms from what I've tried so far (although the weed that I've tried is very subpar). My only real complaint is the customer service and it's really a shame because it's the only thing keeping this place from standing out. I've been here twice now and both times I dealt with someone who just had no interest in helping or answering questions. The first time, the lady who was attending to me was just plain rude. At least this last time, the guy wasn't rude, but he wasn't helpful either and didn't really care too much about answering my questions. Also, the discounts are a sham. I came in today for the Memorial Day 20% discount that I got emailed about, and the menu prices were already listed as 20% discount with the same pricing as I got last time. I asked if it was an additional 20% off the discounted pricing and was told that no, it's normally the higher pricing (which just isn't true). If there was another place that was more welcoming and honest I would absolutely go there. But it's not bad for what it is I guess. read more

Amazing church. I fasho had a religious experience and connected to the God consciousness. Congregation are all dope people too. Highly recommend! read more

Sketchy looking neighborhood with a nondescript guarded door. Registration and a $10 fee is required for entry. Here you can purchase Ethnogenic products. Security is heavy put staff is pleasant. read more

Very safe and welcoming environment. Everything is clean and the members are really friendly, security included. You can walk right in! read more

Quality care, knowledgeable staff that were friendly and helpful. Great quality and good selection of sacraments. Thank you

The only church I've felt comfortable entering aside from the Buddhist temples in Korea. Two very differing experiences obviously but I'm thankful this place exists and so close to home. This type of church therapy has been wonderful to combat depressive symptoms, and especially symptoms of my ADHD. Care quality has been amazing. read more

Came to Oakland for the first time ever. The area is very shady and very dirty. I did not see like many other reviewers that employees were rude or unprofessional. They were all actually very nice I like them. Yes, they have their own way of doing things, but they were very professional and very nice. . This five star review goes to Alexia. She was the one who helped me just now and I really like her energy. Thank you again, Alexia read more

I love love love everything about zide door! Great sense of community building, harm reduction, and educational sermons for people of all experience levels. Neighbourhood doesn't phase me, I grew up nearby and have done grocery shopping in this area for the last 20 years. If you get spooked easily, don't go alone. Selection is fire, workers are friendly and informative. Be prepared to wear a mask. read more

Great people nice service amazing church dogma, beautiful prices happy to be a customer

If you know, you know Excellent area to learn about the practices of of products I would highly recommend any enthusiastic new timers to come to this church and find out what it's all about . read more

I love mushrooms. This place is great but the people who work here make you need to take some mushrooms. if they weren't offering something so valuable, I would never go to this place. read more

While I enjoy the offerings I discovered today that their "discounts" are a sham. Visited yesterday, an ounce listed at $160. Delayed purchase until today when weed was a 20% discount. Different menu to order from and the ounce that was priced $160 yesterday is now listed at $200. With the 20% discount the price for the ounce was still $160. SMH. The whole discount program is a scam! read more

Somewhat expensive but really good product and consistent. Worth the price of admission.

I first came here excited from hearing about it on the internet and a friend of mine is also a member. I got a few things. One of the products gave me problems so I brought it back and they honored a store credit request after a phone call. I like the idea of the place. It gives access, in a time of need. It's located in East Oakland, so be careful. read more

Been coming here for a couple years now and its legit for your psychedelic needs. Looks a bit sketch from the outside but fear not. I usually don't post reviews but my last couple visits here the customer service has been complete shit. They always seem to have an attitude, aren't very welcoming, and rush you when looking at the menu and don't ever want to answer any questions. They probably should take some of what they sell, maybe they'll be much nicer after. read more

Everyone inside is very nice. Organized place, easy to navigate. "Menu" is very comprehensive. Reliable products. Best church in the Bay for sure!!! read more

What can I say? Well organized, super run down on the inside and the neighborhood is not somewhere I'd like to build my summer home.. There is very friendly and attentive security present at all times. In fact I think that's my favorite aspect of the place, the guards are always rad. It's a low key church and I appreciate being able to obtain my sacraments here with knowledgeable staff. Well most of the time, staff can be hit or miss but overall positive experience. read more

Everyone is fairly nice and polite but they do seem like they want to get you in and out quickly and almost like they don't want to answer TOO many questions... but but, the product is very well worth it so I'm going to keep coming back! read more

Glad I finally found a place like this. Signed up a few days ago and my membership was approved the next day. Finally made my way there today and it was a very pleasant experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

I wish I could give them a 5 star rating because overall my experience was excellent. However, the lady up front as the receptionist was sooooo rude to me. I was referred by a good friend of mine to come check out this establishment, and was stunned at the service I received before going inside. Also, I never really write reviews so you know I just felt the need to inform people. I was the only customer in the waiting room, and she pretended like I was not there. Continued to work on her laptop, and not answer any questions I was asking: referring to the process, also I had to use my passport so she had my passport: I asked if I could have it back.... again no response. So I took it as I was good to go inside. I started walking instead and very rudely and condensing she responds, "UMMM EXCUSE ME YOU HAVE TO WAIT I DID NOT SAY YOU COULD GO IN", I responded what I felt was necessary in the moment with: "UMMM I'm not sure why you're being sooo rude to me????? Then she just acted as if nothing happened gave me my stuff and I continued inside. All the rest of the staff was amazing- providing good vibes. As you should have that type of energy working here. Y'all need to get rid of homegirl up front to better your business. I stand strong on this! read more

I was excited to find Zide door. The selection was mediocre and over priced, but I appreciate its existence. I'm not sure if I will regularly frequent, but it's cool regardless. read more

First time patron and I can't wait to go back! Check in process was simple and easy. All the staff were kind and welcoming as well.

My favorite place to worship and donate! Mush love!!! Everyone is friendly and great selections!
