JD was super helpful and kind!! The place is clean, beautifully decorated and it shows that genuine thought was put into the staff choice and building design. I'm excited for my next visit!

My visit to Park Social six days ago was my second visit. The visit Saturday was a celebration of their first year in business. They had raffles, giveaways and deals. The first visit there I purchased two jars of liquid flower topical balm (red label). They gave me a 20% discount. That was a reasonable deal compared to Ivy Hill Cannabis Dispensary in Oakland. Second time I purchased more items (Papa Barkley's topical balm, a strawberry sparkling water and a tee shirt for my husband. I have been to other cannabis dispensaries in town and in Oakland. Park Social is easy for me to get there by public transportation. Besides I like the shopping district in Downtown Alameda.

To say I’m impressed would be such a dramatic understatement. I firmly believe that this is best menu in the East Bay. I’ve worked in cannabis for years and purchased/marketed for retail stores as well - you typically get a menu tailored towards the “heady” enthusiast or you get a menu tailored to intro accessibility - today I saw a menu that did both with exceptional poise and accuracy. bless whoever the talented human is that buys for this store. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better job done. The space itself is just about as authentic to the area as it could be. It’s friendly, warm, inviting, clean, and innovative. Beyond a plus that there is a community space attached to the side as well - it’s so important to build a community around a shop, this place just executes. JD helped us and gave us a tour - he was knowledgeable, funny, kind, and clearly passionate about the plant. If you’re reading this JD, I’ll be back to dweeb out with you again soon. Really appreciate you taking a moment with us. A true testament to what a dispensary should be, I’d give it 7 stars out of 5 if I could. Bravo 👏🏼

JD AND TYLER GOT ME TODAY! They got me to buy this extremely cute bear vape battery! But it’s totally worth the joy! Thank you for having medicine so close! What great customer service! Informed and helpful! Thank you!!!

I tried this place with a local friend. The people are friendly, and the store wasn't crowded at all (Sunday, around 2 p.m.). We were able to get help on edibles. We had two dogs with us, and that wasn't a problem at all. They also gave a discount coupon for the first visit, which was nice! My only real issue is that I ordered quite a few items, and when checking out, I assumed that there would be a receipt inside the bag so I could cross check when I got home, but there wasn't. And of course when I got home (SF), it looked like one item was missing, which is fine, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't charged for it (and I can get it next time). I called their number and left a voicemail as no one answered. So we'll see. But there really should be a receipt so people don't leave and wonder whether they were charged for items that they didn't get.
