5 licensed shops open in San Diego right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. Klover leads at 4.9.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the California average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.
3500 Estudillo St
Most reviews name one of the same 2 budtenders, each credited with teaching first-timers what suits them and making relaxed, well-informed suggestions. Latino-owned, with curbside pickup, delivery, free Wi-Fi and credit cards accepted.
Open
10671 Roselle St #100
Knowledgeable, friendly budtenders and a good selection are the consistent notes, and one first-time visitor got a first-visit discount. The storefront is hard to spot, one reviewer notes, and delivery is available.
Open
4645 De Soto St
Staff remember regulars, and their dogs, even after weeks away, and reviewers contrast the relaxed room with dispensaries that feel like airport security. Budtenders compare similar products to find the best deal, and Monday deals get a mention. Women-owned, with full wheelchair access, a gender-neutral restroom and free Wi-Fi.
Open
1028 Buenos Ave
The flower and edibles selection gets consistent praise, as do staff who know the products and look for the best deal on your behalf. Checkout is quick, and a delivery customer singles out the driver. Free lot and street parking, debit cards, delivery and a gender-neutral restroom.
Open
2835 Camino del Rio S #100
Delivery earns the most praise, with several customers calling it fast and on time. In the store, staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable, and one visitor to San Diego says nobody rushes them. Cash only, with free parking in the lot and on the street.

A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the California mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside California.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
