Reading Time: 6 minutes

Whenever the region of Northern California gets brought up in conversation, it is usually dominated by mentions of San Francisco and Silicon Valley. There is an entire section of the Bay Area that is more than deserving of the world’s attention – and that, is the beloved East Bay. There are an army of competent cannabis clubs and delivery services in this heavily populated area, but sometimes, it is hard to discern which establishment is really the best option.

If you are lucky enough to be in or around the Oakland area, these are the TOP dispensaries in the region that are head-and-shoulders above the competition.

10. 7 Stars Holistic

Address:
3223 Pierce St.,
Richmond, CA 94804
Phone Number: (510) 527-7827
Hours: 10 am – 8 pm, 7 days a week

This place is charming, it feels like I am pulling up to grandma’s house to buy some weed. Seriously. This obviously refurbished establishment offers up low ceilings and not a lot of walking room – but if one is smart enough to come prepared with a shopping list of items (found on their menu), the entire experience is a sincere breeze. They could use a slight increase in variability in their menu, to be honest – but their average price point has local stoners routinely coming back whenever their stash starts to run low.

9. Berkeley Patient’s Group

Address:
2366 San Pablo Ave,
Berkeley, CA 94702
Phone number: (510) 540-6013
Hours: 9 am – 9 pm, 7 days a week
Website: mybpg.com

Tucked behind the security of a gate guarding their customer-only parking lot, stands this mundane building off the always-populated San Pablo Avenue in the quaint college town of Berkeley. It is a bit tough to spot from the street, but if one is aware to be mindful of the passing addresses as they approach, they will have no issue finding this dispensary. Inside, they have their establishment segmented to help out those who pre-ordered their buds online and those looking to make an impulse buy. The organization of this place is phenomenal, and it is one of the main reasons this affordable (and super friendly) location made the list.
