This dispensary has the best prices out of anywhere else in Santa Rosa. If you go before 10 am you can get an early bird discount that basically takes off tax. Friendly people, consistent products, clean store, and an easily accessible location. I just miss their old store and I hope it comes back soon.

This place has gone WAY down with this new management. The people who work there are great and helpful ( why you didn't get 1 star) however I probably won't be back. You no longer carry the things I like and what you had was way more expensive. The prices were jacked up because it's Bennett valley. This new management doesn't seem to have any common or business sense.

Small shop with very friendly staff. They offer 10% off everything for seniors and veterans. They also offer 25% off everything from 9am-11am daily. Very pleased that my brother made me aware of this dispensary.

Without a doubt this is the best company to go to and both stores are awesome. The one in the East of Santa Rosa is where I go most often and always get awesome help completing my buy. I thank them for all they provide and the service they give doing so.

We live out of the area but visit Santa Rosa often. Every time we visit we make a stop. Prices and inventory are fantastic! Nice people too.

I like buying disposable vapes but occasionally they are defective. This store wouldn't accept my return of one that was literally empty. Normally when you finish a vape you can still taste terpines but this one was never loaded in the first place. They told me if it was still half full at least they could take it back. Made me wait 15 minutes to come to this decision. It should be the retailer's job to deal with the distributor when it comes to product defects, not the consumer. Edit: No, it was never loaded. As I mentioned, substantially used vapes have residue on the coil, and one can taste the difference as well as see the discoloration. This should be obvious to a trained employee or consumer. Does Alternative believe factory defects do not occur?
