About Arborside
Ann Arbor dispensary on Packard St., run with North Coast Provisions, known for see-and-smell flower displays and parking.
Arborside is a long-running dispensary on Packard Street, a short drive southeast of downtown Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. It now trades as part of North Coast Provisions, a Michigan retailer that lists Ann Arbor–Arborside alongside stores in Adrian and Sault Ste. Marie; the Cannabis Regulatory Agency record names the license holder "Arborside A North Coast Joint Venture" (AU-R-000787, active, with home delivery approved).
According to its Leafly listing, Arborside opens 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. It serves adults 21 and older and medical cardholders. North Coast's website promotes daily specials, events and seasonal clone pre-orders, with clones advertised at $30 each in September 2026.
With close to 200 Leafly reviews averaging about 4.7 stars, Arborside is well known among people searching for a dispensary in Ann Arbor. Reviewers regularly mention being able to see and smell flower before buying, parking, short waits and staff who treat regulars like family. The main criticism in recent reviews came from a medical patient who felt budtenders rushed and did not take time to show products.
