Located just off the N Judah Muni line in San Francisco’s Sunset District, Solful is a small shop with a unique mission to support sun-grown Cannabis farmers.
The second in a grouping of three San Francisco Bay Area locations, Solful sells exclusively outdoor-grown Cannabis. The San Francisco shop is painted in a vibrant shade of green and hugs two sides of the street. Located near Golden Gate Park — and attractions such as the botanical gardens, de Young museum and Academy of Sciences — the store has an open floor plan and fits well with the neighborhood’s vibrant feel.
The first thing visitors to Solful San Francisco will notice is a massive wall of weed. “One of the signature pieces at a Solful dispensary is what we call our flower wall, which is a custom wall that we designed that has 40 slots for 40 different strains at a given time,” Eli Melrod, CEO and co-founder, explained.
The wall includes information about each flower selection’s genetic lineage and terpene profile, smell jars for each strain and a map showing where it was grown. All the Cannabis in Solful is sourced from Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt, Lake and Trinity counties, and with flower from the 2025 harvest now available for sale, there are new strain drops every Friday.
Solful has a fridge packed full of hash and live rosin that customers can open and pull from just like they are getting ice cream at a convenience store. Solful also has its own product line, which means when a flower appears at the shop, customers can often find it in many different forms, such as tinctures, rosin, hash holes and prerolls.
“We’re buying such small batches … a lot of time when we have a strain on the shelf, it’s only there for like two, three weeks, and then you get something new,” Melrod said. “It’s almost like going to your local taproom; they have a rotating selection of craft beer, and every time you go in, you might try something new from their network of breweries.”
This winter, keep an eye out for Guava Gift — a cross of Guava from Garden of Grease and The Gift from Green Source Gardens — grown by Alpenglow Farms. For another fruity flavor bomb, try the ocimene-dominant Tropical Sleighride — a cross of Purple Candy Cane and Pina — grown by Greenshock Farms.
