This place was terrible at best. mediocre bud at best. I walked in and left without anything. I think they presume that Santa Clara kids don't know what fire is. Amsterdam's Garden should be called Mexico's Garden.

Horrible parking! Dude in the back is hella awkward and not helpful at all! I was harassed in the parking lot by a man who threatened me while I was looking up directions to another club! The building says law firm in front and the parking lot next to the place says law firm parking only and it obviously is not the same building! I went in to the club waited at the door for 2 minutes without an answer! Once let in friendly service desk but the club itself sucks really hard! And when I asked about pricing he pointed to the board!

Great medical collective, with good parking. Safe commercial and professional area. Very nice employees, all 5 dispensaries I've visited so far have very nice employees. Attractive decor. Strong/fresh medicine and informative clerks. In general, convenience counts for a lot, and I appreciate the organized setup. Its pretty much like going to a pharmacy, but more comfy. There isn't any of that \"Bob Marley\" B.S. or cannabis culture ads displayed all over the place. . Just a classy ambiance. Wait time was about 10 minutes.

I would have given 5 stars if they had been a bit easier on me for having a driver's license that was expired for only four days. I came back a few days later with a temporary issued by the DMV and had an awesome experience. This is one of the best San Jose marijuana dispensaries I have ever been to. I like the one-on-one policy so your privacy as a patient is protected. The medicine at AG is super potent and their edibles are just as good.

If you are in a wheelchair, don't bother with this club, it has no handicap parking and there's a step to get in and they don't even have a ramp. Plus I called ahead to see if they sell JollyLollys and they put me on hold for 5 minutes and when came back they said they carry the pops so I drove all the way there and of course they don't carry the JollyLollys. They don't know what there doing and for them to not be wheelchair acceptable is not right. Plus the pops that I did get from them were bad, (bad flavor).  I had to throw them out. Not edible at all.

This place has 'Class'. The antique decor is warm and inviting - yet classy. The customer service is always with a smile. I am always greeted and treated with respect when I visit. Customer Service is Gold to me as I am an instructor for Customer Service techniques for a large company, and I appreciate good service when I get it. They have security cameras for safety but no metal detectors. I love the edibles. I buy the x1 dose lollypops and stock up for my bad days, when my spine acts up like at my son's football game 'no problem' I just eat my special dessert ;) and I am able to sit in the bleachers longer to watch him play. I also love the brownies but be careful with these. They say x3-4 doses, but for me one with low tolerance I can make x8. For seasoned users I would try 1/2. It is up to the patient really. They have a small selection of flowers but the selection they do have is 'Primo'. I bought some honey oil, but have not tried it so I cannot comment. Just wanted to let you know they carry an assortment of goodies. The prices are about average. Don't complain about prices. Just be glad we have people that care enough to open these places for us. Would you open one and risk all the dangers that go with it? Ok then. Just be thankful. Go check them out if you need some meds and want to visit a classy and cozy place.

YES the triple XXX Amsterdam's (FIRE) Angel is back for the Labor Day Weekend as well as some new heavily trichome laiden Green Kush. So go directly to AG, do not pass Go (unless you need to visit el banco and this is a time to think big). Snowcap, Hollywood Kush, Aussie Blue, Amnesia Haze---wow---it's like when you (could) go to a Duke Ellington concert wherethey would say "if you weren't dancing, you weren't there." You will not be sorry. I've been blown away consistently by these good folks since Late January 2010. What a beautiful trip it has been. It's a beautiful day. Whatever you love to do, you will probably love to do it even more after a visit to AG. Oh, and lastly, it is all about the the light, the fresh, the cure, and the love. All are in abundance at AG.

One of the classiest dispensaries in San Jose and my current favorite. I've noticed that most of their patients are older folks who are probably pickier than the average person. All their strains are truly unique and top shelf. The hardest decision I have to make every time is figuring out what to walk out with. I do have a personal budget on how much I can spend every week for meds, so I want the most for my money. I've come to realize you can't really find decent buds at under $50 an eighth. That's just the reality of things until medical marijuana is fully legalized. I like how they cover the taxes, so what you see is what you get.

This is the place to go if you're looking for safe/private access to some of the best meds in the Bay. This is not the place for someone who is looking for freebies or bargain meds.

I can't believe the very few people that gave this club 1 star? Another case of clubs sabotaging each other perhaps? As someone who has been going to Amsterdam's Garden since they first opened, they really deserve 5 stars. Let's start off with the location, which is conveniently located off a commercial strip off The Alameda. My work is only a few blocks away and I'm glad I don't have to drive to Santa Cruz or SF for my meds anymore. There is always plenty of parking in the front. The ambiance is really relaxing.

The check-in process is really easy, and their paperwork is simple to understand.

Buds: I do have to say that their buds are always frosty. They have a "Display" bud that you can sit there and touch and look at at your leisure. Most places discourage you touching them, with good reason, but this place keeps out a nice sized bud and lets you touch them, feel them and check them out under the magnifier.

The bud tenders vary, but they are all knowledgeable about their products. We talked a little about the hash, and a couple random things, but I never really felt pushed to make a purchase.

Overall, I like AG for the simple reason that their service is professional and they carry unique, high quality strains. I would recommend checking them out for yourself, opposed to listening to negative people (who might be from other clubs).

One word describes this place - garbage. Reminds me of what my dealer use to say to me in the early nineties, "a lot of stems, a few seeds, and you might get a little headache cause it's a little pre-mature." I'm glad somebody finally noticed too how all the bad reviews seem to disappear for this club on other sites? Not sure how that works or who greased who's wheels, but it makes me wonder if a lot of the outstanding reviews for this club on this page are written by employees or employees friends. Once a person sees this place though; a tiny club literally situated in a closet in a building of lawyers offices where you can get parked in almost every time you visit. If preemie nugs, a sketchy scene in a lawyers office, a weird parking situation, and in my opinion a dishonest staff who has removed honest reviews from other websites is your bag the Amsterdam Garden is the place for you.

I really like their system of getting people in and out. Even though they are situated in a nice location, I'm not looking to hang out. I have a life and simply want quality meds quickly. This is the real reason I keep coming back. I have been to clubs that promised all these additional services like yoga, massage, accupuncture etc., and they never actually offer it! Not once have I seen these practitioners anywhere. It's not like I expect additional services from a cannabis club, but there's nothing I hate more than false advertising.

I'm one of those people that are willing to pay a bit more for fantastic medicine. The staff at AG are always very helpful and friendly. I'm a big fan of their sativa strains and they have killer Plane Wreck here (lately).

The selection was limited, to say the least. It looked like decent stuff, but none of it was marked so I'm forced to ask what I'm looking at. Prices were average and for a dive like this, I would have expected stuff that was more budget friendly.

Their Widow and Train Wreck are solid strains that are good every time. Plenty of parking in the front and nice professional location.

I came after work and was the only female for about 15 minutes. The lobby was beautiful, but it was a bit strange for me. The bud tender is extremely mature for her age and was so helpful! She was also professional and knew a lot. She was patient and flexible - just a great listener who made me feel very comfortable, never rushed.I left when it was dark and a gentleman who worked in the front lobby walked me to my car. So far my experience has been positive with most of the San Jose clubs. Things worth mentioning:

-Super Clean
-Fast/Easy verification
-Exotic strains
-Lots of Top shelf

I have heard a lot about this place so was instantly intrigued and decided to try them out.

Blue Dream(sativa) - The buds looked beautiful and extremely radiate from the jar, as if the buds have a glowing aura. Nicely formed and very well manicured. Ridiculously frosty with milky trichomes that shimmer in the light.

I will definitely go here again because they have everything covered: quality medicine, beautiful/convenient location and they have strains I haven't seen before like Plane Wreck and Sugar Babe. I recommend their Hash Lollipops! OMG that was scrumcious! The free Bliss edible was pretty strong and very tasty. Price was 45-60 an eighth. They don't take credit cards so I had to go to a nearby ATM. Bring cash!

Well, I didn't want to give this club a bad review as I used to like this club, but I have seen them be lazy now twice and I will never go back. I was in the Dispensary the day the previous Reviewer, Michael S., was in and it was after 4:30pm but before 5pm and Amsterdam Garden Staff only called the Patient ID Center for verification on Michael's card and not his Dr. I also saw them do this the other day with another patient. This is however not what is supposed to be done. The law states that all that is needed to obtain Medical Cannabis is a Dr.'s Recommendation. So like the more reputable clubs do, they call your Dr. not the Patient ID Center. This is the only call any Dispensary should make. The card from the Patient ID Center, be it a State or County, is a luxury and not necessary.

I read their menu before stopping by today so I had an idea of what I wanted. Their medicine and location exceeded what I expected. This is by far the best club I've ever been to. They hit every aspect that makes a good club: good medicine, beautiful/safe location, friendly/knowledgeable staff, easy verification. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from a San Jose club, because it's a relatively new concept over here, but their standards rival that of the top clubs in L.A. and San Francisco.

Very classy collective. I love this place so much I can't stop spreading the good word. Its refreshing to see a club that has it's own signature style. I can't stand it when people are unoriginal and copy each other! This place is like taking a trip to the candy store! I can't believe there are haters dissing this place? Probably people from the other clubs. I guess when you are at the top, there are always going to be people ready to be negative.

I stopped by today and was surprised how close they were to my house. I checked the menu out online before going so I had an idea of what I wanted. No joke this is the best club I've ever been to. I give it straight 5 out of 5. The staff was beyond friendly and the bud-tender was very knowledgeable on her stuff, which is always nice. I was verified in 2 minutes! Take it from a person who's been to over 12 clubs in San Jose. This place knows what it's doing!

I like how there is no sales tax. Their prices are straight forward and you get the choice of spending more or less. The medium grade purple urkle actually looked very good, but being picky, I'd rather pay an extra $10 bucks for the best. I got 3/8 of Widow and the quality blew me away! Also got a free Bliss edible cupcake. This is a good place to pick up meds quickly without all the fuss. If you are looking for a hangout spot, this is not the place.

One of the reasons I keep coming back is the quality of their Rx's is truly one of a kind. Every time I've tried out a new strain on their menu, it's always good. I don't mind making the drive to San Jose either, because the few clubs in town just don't cut it.

Wow, with the exception of the last review, who was obviously an irate customer, I question if any of the other reviews are real.

1. Insanely uncomfortable establishment. The place is literally a 4*8 closet. Not more than one customer can fit in here comfortably. Not good for handicapped patients.

2. Amsterdam feel? I have lived in Amsterdam for two years and visited countless times over the past 15 years and there is not one Coffee Shop that is this small or this uncomfortable. Who ever compared this place to Amsterdam is way too medicated!

3. "Super Cool" staff? Please, the guy working the register was using the hunt and peck method to ring up my purchase and was very medicated. They had no idea what the genetics were of their supposedly unique stains.

4. Price was high, but everyone is high is San Jose. Drive up to Oakland or San Fran for better prices and not pre weighed purchases.

For the handicapped patient, this place is really bad. For a non handicap patient, I would explore other San Jose establishments if you are interested in good customer service, knowledge of medicine, and don't want to feel like you are in a broom closet. Should have stuck to delivery Amsterdam Garden, as you have no business being open to the public in those cramped quarters.

I had a great experience at this club. The building is exactly what they advertise online, and it is very beautiful inside. I appreciated their menu was exactly what they advertised as well. The staff was friendly and was very knowledgeable about their meds. You just tell them what your symptoms are and they go through your choices thoroughly. I got their Master Kush. It was top of the line quality. Exactly what they told me: special unique strain because it is an indica that helps you with pain, but won't knock you out. It is a good type of med for me to use at work during the day. I would recommend this club to my friends. Hope that helps everyone!

What a joke this club is. Not only did I walk in with a raised seal Dr.'s recommendation from Dr. Lucido in Berkeley, but I also had my card from the Patient ID Center in Oakland. I tried to explain to the heavily medicated staff that the card from the ID Center wasn't necessary and all they needed was my recommendation from Dr. Lucido. The Staff proceeded to tell me that people are forging Dr.'s recommendations and they won't honor anybody's. You only need a raised seal Dr.'s recommendation to obtain Medical Marijuana. Staff - Please educate yourself in the laws of California.

Our staff tried to verify Michael's recommendation, however, it was "invalid". We checked 2 more times and even called his doctor's office, once again all attempts were unsuccessful. We really have no reason to deny anyone their medicine, as long as their recommendation is valid. It is simple as that. We also believe it is the patient's responsibility to make sure their doctor or whoever is writing them the recommendation, that their information has been processed before they walk into any club. Although, we don't question the legitimacy of Michael's recommendation, our staff did "the right thing" by denying a patient who's recommendation is unverifiable. Michael may be used to some clubs who just glance at recommendations and do not really check, however, we do not operate that way. We are just trying to protect ourselves, nothing personal . . For the record, a number of clubs have been getting shut down because under cover police have been using fake recommendations to see which clubs "actually check".
