Welcome to The Cake House
Founded in 2020, The Cake House is a multi-state cannabis retail chain built on a deep love of cannabis culture and a commitment to joyful, judgment-free shopping experiences. Since opening our first dispensary in Vista, California in 2021, we’ve grown to serve cannabis lovers across California and Michigan. From our flagship store in Wildomar to our one-of-a-kind drive-thru in Battle Creek, The Cake House is where variety meets vibe.
Why "Cake"?
We chose the name “The Cake House” because cake means something special across music, culture, and cannabis itself. From slang for money and weed to lyrics that inspire generations, “cake” has become a symbol of celebration. And with initials like TCH (a cheeky nod to THC), our brand represents fun, flavor, and the freedom to enjoy cannabis your way.
Our iconic cake slice logo and signature Cake Teal—pulled straight from a 1960 C10 pickup—remind customers that The Cake House isn’t your average dispensary. We’re here to keep it light, keep it loud, and keep it you.
A Culture Worth Celebrating
Cannabis has a long and vibrant history. From the countless names we’ve given it (weed, ganja, doobies, blunts, pot, herb) to the global celebration of 420, cannabis culture has always been about more than consumption—it’s about connection. The Cake House honors that spirit by embracing cannabis in its most authentic form.
Instead of scrubbing the roots clean, we invite customers into a space that feels familiar, welcoming, and real. You might hear old-school hip hop in one store, country music in another, or golden-era oldies in the next. Why? Because our team helps shape the vibe. Every store’s playlist, personality, and product mix reflects our belief that cannabis is personal.
The Shopping Experience
Whether you’re a seasoned smoker, a medicinal user, or a total newbie, The Cake House makes it easy to find your perfect product. Our locations are designed to accommodate different shopping styles:
- Guided Shopping: You’ll be paired with a budtender who will walk you through the menu, answer your questions, and help you select the right product for your needs.
- Grab-n-Go: Some of our California locations allow customers to browse and shop independently—perfect for regulars or quick errands.
All locations are ADA accessible and provide ATMs on-site. We accept government-issued IDs such as driver’s licenses or passports—just bring a valid ID and we’ll take care of the rest.
Where local laws allow, we also offer curbside pickup, online ordering, and delivery for maximum convenience.
Deli-Style Cannabis in Michigan
At our Michigan stores, we take flower seriously. We offer deli-style cannabis, meaning you get to smell, see, and choose your buds before they’re weighed and bagged right in front of you. It’s a personal, elevated experience that brings you closer to the plant—and the growers behind it.
All flower in our deli cases comes from carefully selected local Michigan cultivators. You’ll find everything from top-shelf exotic strains to affordable, high-quality classics. No matter your budget, our goal is to match you with the right product.
A Product for Every Person
We carry one of the widest selections of cannabis products in every market we serve. Our curated inventory includes:
- Flower (pre-packaged and deli-style)
- Infused pre-rolls and multipacks
- Edibles (chocolates, gummies, drinks, and more)
- Concentrates and extracts
- Disposable and refillable vape pens
- CBD and wellness products
- Topicals, tinctures, and gear
We source products from major national brands and local legends alike. Our buyers are always watching for new drops, unique infusions, and limited releases. Our promise? You’ll always find something new on our shelves.
Our Team: Real Budtenders, Real People
A Cake House budtender isn’t just someone who rings you up. They’re passionate cannabis lovers who live and breathe the culture—and many have been part of our journey from the beginning.
Our Vista location, for example, operated as a "trap house" for years before being transformed into a fully licensed dispensary. Many of the original team members are still there, bringing their real-world knowledge, resilience, and heart to the brand.
From Michigan to California, we hire from the communities we serve. We believe in people over polish—and our team reflects that. Quirky, curious, kind, and informed, our budtenders care about more than sales. They care about the customer experience.
Discounts, Loyalty & Perks
All Cake House locations offer:
- Loyalty points (via Treez, Dutchie, or Alpine IQ depending on store)
- Veteran discounts
- Senior discounts
We also run rotating deals and seasonal promotions that range from BOGO bundles to mega discounts on brands you love. If you’ve got a favorite product, ask your budtender—we probably have a deal for it.
