This new ERBA location is pretty nice!
Walking in, you can feel a calming energy, and the entrance is earthy. You're then greeted by an employee at their front desk. You give your ID and set up an account w/ them. Then, you walk fully inside.
It's a huge room (think car dealership showroom, but for bud). There are several areas and cases that showcase multiple brands and products. There's usually an employee walking around to help you decide what you want or direct you to an area to make your choices.
The decor feels forest-like and is nicer than any other dispensary I've been to. My only "issue" is that if there aren't really any other customers inside, it can feel eerie. It's almost too much space w/ not enough filling it. (I know, I know..."Too much space?! )
I personally don't smoke much, edibles are my go-to, and I love their selection. It's rare that what I want is not in stock.
What I really do enjoy about this location is their coffee/tea café type setup in the back where you can get free refreshments and hang out for a few.
My biggest issue would have to be the parking situation. While they do have free valet, it's extremely small and can be packed at any time of day, so there's a chance you have to roam elsewhere to find some. Also, their lot is directly in front of a freeway exit and can be a bit anxiety-inducing during high traffic periods. (If you can't get parking there, there's 2 hr free parking in the garage up the block for the plaza)
Overall, I still keep coming back because it's close to home, the staff have been generally friendly (most), and I appreciate their selection!
