About Purple Lotus

Purple Lotus Downtown San Jose is a licensed dispensary at 66 W Santa Clara St, open 8 AM–10 PM daily; 4.8 stars on 475 Weedmaps ratings.

Purple Lotus Downtown San Jose is the second storefront of the Purple Lotus group, at 66 West Santa Clara Street in the center of downtown (95113). It holds DCC retail license C10-0001440-LIC and appeared on Leafly in September 2024, so it is a newer outlet than the Commercial Street flagship.

Leafly and the Purple Lotus website both list it as open every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The Leafly listing flags an ATM, ADA access, parking, a pet-friendly policy and woman ownership, and it takes cash, credit and debit. Discounts are listed for first-time customers, seniors, students, veterans and industry workers. Orders can be placed online for express pickup; delivery is run by the wider Purple Lotus operation.

Weedmaps shows 4.8 stars from about 475 ratings, but only around 40 written reviews. Those reviews mention:

  • one of the smoother online pickup systems in the South Bay;
  • good-value pre-rolls and flavorful small-bud flower;
  • staff who honored an expired discount code.

The one critical comment we saw concerned a vape pod that did not work properly. Keep receipts for hardware, and ask about the store’s policy on defective vapes before you leave. Leafly had no written reviews for this store when checked.
