Root'd is a new dispensary that opened this week a couple of blocks from my house. So feeling Yelpy, I simply had to check it out. Stylish, very spacious shop. They've got all to goods you'd expect. Vapes, edibles (gummies, chocolate, candy, drinks) and flowers, AKA green bud, in pretty display cases. Lots of sleek screens above the wall cases displaying pricing. Good selection, but not the largest. Some dispensaries are more like a warehouse. Root'd is more of a shopping experience.
Nice staff. The deal is that your "budtender" can walk you around to answer questions and build your order. They've been given 420 bags to get familiar with all off the products. Miya was really sweet and showed me around explaining what was what in the "green room." They were still working out the kinks with their POS system. There's a big screen at checkout that lets you know when it's ready to pick up.
Open 12pm - 9:30pm every day. You can also order online and walk in for "takeout"!
Tips:
Convenient to MacArthur BART.
If you like deals ask for the BOGO specials.
You pay with a debit card or cash due to the State of California's regulations. No credit cards accepted but there's an ATM on site.
The website says an on-site consumption lounge. If that's the case, then luckily there's Jack in the Box and McDonalds across the street should you immediately get the munchies. Or if your tastes are more urbane, you've got Oakland's new restaurant row up and down Telegraph.
