My friend Chad was fantastic! He went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. I’m speechless about the exceptional service he provided. I highly recommend this dispensary and make sure to ask Chad to dispense for you! – Gilbert Ramos
If you know the San Jose cannabis scene, you know the competition is real. Purple Lotus. Cake. Elemental. Theraleaf for budget runs & Airfield. Solid options across the board. But for me? 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 Uriel, 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. – Peter Ting
I’ve been coming to Harborside for years, and Maribel has consistently been one of the most reliable budtenders I’ve worked with. She has a strong understanding of the products and is especially knowledgeable about flower and concentrates. She asks the right questions, gives clear and accurate recommendations, and stays up to date on new products and strains. The experience is always efficient and straightforward when she helps me, which is something I really appreciate after being a long-time customer. Thank you, Maribel! – Ankur Tandan
Maribel hooked it up with knowledge, patience and overall a good experience. Thank you for taking your time to help me get the most bang out of my buck, this dispensary constantly gets me right and although their prices and selections are wonderful, it’s really the budtenders that bring it together by being patient and helpful. thank y’all! – Dab Em
Good sale prices and diverse products for non smokers. Ides 100mg drinks are great! On the delivery, Raul was communicative and let me when he was close! Good experience all around. – Lisa Grossman
