Park Social — Attraction in 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.

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.

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...

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...
