I think they need to focus on customer service.They can have all the selection you need but if they don't have a smart personable budtender, how will they help you find what you need? I'm the kinnd of gal that gives shops more than one chance, but each of the 4x I've visited I've been highly disappointed. the budtenders look annoyed to help, almost like I'm taking up the time they could use to text on their phone. on 2 occasions I just stood there waiting for one of the girls to get off their phone so they could help me. when I ask them specific questions they keep recommending the same product as if they're pushing old stuff on me. I don't think I'll be back a 5th time

I had a bad experience here. I was greeted kindly by the ID checker at the front. My issue was with the bud tender. I immediately told him I had called before hand and already knew what I wanted. I asked for a brand of cartridges I was told you had an hour before, he proceeded to ignore me and talk with another bud tender for almost a minute. Then he was like “ what did you want again”. I repeated myself and he said back instantly they were out. I was surprised and started asking for other cartridge brands and he said none of those too, without looking. I then asked to just see what carts were available. I then see him chat with the other bud tender again, and I hear her respond “I don’t know why people are so picky”. They both look irritated, and he comes back with syringes. I immediately tried to explain I need cartridges, and he begins to explain to me dab syringes like I don’t know what they are or as if it’s an alternative. At that point I just asked is this all you have for me and he replied yes. I could clearly see a lot more options behind him and he was trying to push expensive product on me. I turned around and left, stunned.

Great customer service! There were only 3 people in line when I got there and it took a few minutes for the budtender to get me my products and when I turned around about 7 min later, there were about 20 people in line. Even thought there was a long line behind me, the budtender answered the few questions without making me feel like he was rushing me out the door to get to the next customer. However, I felt that the prices were about $10 to high on the top shelf product but overall, it was a great experience and I will be back for sure.

Went here one night because they were having a deal, and it was getting late.
They were very kind and patient. Very helpful as I am still not too sure about concentrates.
I did have to ask about their loyalty program. And there was a one legged beggar outside that the employees didn't seem to care he was there. The beggar was actually very nice and not pushy, lol. I even gave him money, but I can see where it would be off putting to others. The parking lot is a nightmare.

I LOVE this place! It's all purple (my favorite) and has an amazing selection of glass that is like an art gallery. My budtender made great recommendations, but was less than personable. I was disappointed that she didn't tell me about the rewards program until after I paid for my $150 goodie bag. After signing in, I was given a 15% off coupon. Ummm that would have been nice to apply to this visit. At other places I'm often given a discount of some kind for spending so much. 😤 Anyway, my friend that came with me said that this is "Nordstroms

Clear Choice in my opinion is probably the most professional dispensary I have ever been in. It is kind of like going to your local grocery store you trust. It is one of the few dispensaries where I consistently feel compelled to tip being most of the bud tenders are polite and professional. One thing I like about them is everything they sell you goes in a bag without question, which little things like that I notice. It almost feels as if the cannabis comes with a guarantee. The lines get long quick and it gets crowded, but it moves fast as they have a lot of bud tenders on hand. Another thing I like is that if they are not sure about inventory, they will go digging, without an attitude. I've been in other dispensaries where if the budtender isn't sure, they will just say they don't have it. Not at Clear Choice. They search for your needs. They constantly carry an impressive inventory of grams and eighths at affordable prices. One would be surprised at the selection $20 could get. I also think few places could match a Snoop Dogg meet and greet! It is also very easy to find. Thus far, this is my fav dispensary.

Great location, central to everything in the greater Tacoma area. Service with style and product that keeps you coming back with deals hard to beat.

Great shop, helpful staff, tremendous selection for a rec shop!

Love this place! Staff has always been super friendly and helpful for me. I dab A LOT and Clear Choice always has the best selection of Refine Seattle concentrates around. I go on their X-tracted Mondays when I can get Refine at a discount.

Great vibe and quality medicines (including nice edibles), with a friendly, competent and knowledgeable staff. Good location, too. Also excellent at keeping their online menu up to date, which is very convenient. I've been a patient here many months, the good medicine and service keep me coming back.

I have been a resident of Washington and a patron/fan of Clear Choice Cannabis since its inception. The place truly only gets better and classier. The only flaw is their location and poor parking. Time to expand and upgrade, y'all..! 😎

Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Good selection, nice prices. Comfortable buying experience. My treatment as a customer over these last few years has earned my confidence and loyalty. --- Wacky drivers in the parking lot, but that's not their fault.

Clear Coice was my very first dispensary experience and it was a very good first impression.tightly run,efficient business with alert security personnel at the door,great prices and friendly,knowledgeable staff.my budtender discussed strains with me and was kind enough to brief me on laws regarding carrying my bud around Tacoma and the do's and don'ts(i'm from Oklahoma and was visiting) and showed me some killer deals they had on some of the best products.definitely my go to source when i head back up that way.very satisfied!

Clear choice is undoubtedly one of the absolute best retail stores in the state. Maybe in the entire USA!!! The staff are super friendly, the management are extremely well-schooled, and the selection and pricing are second to none. When you add to this the super location close to the freeway, and copious amounts of free parking, its a hard act to follow!

Great place all the staff are friendly always have what I'm looking for I would recommend this place to anybody that smokes they got an A+ in my book

BEWARE: They are liars and will say anything to get you in the store because they know you'll purchase product anyway.
They added a deal advertising $65 quarters. What it doesn't tell you is that it's just Tuesday. What's wrong with that? We called ahead to make sure 1 - they had the deal 2 - they had the strains we were looking for. After getting confirmation and showing up, was told they did not have those strains and the deal was not valid save for Tuesday. They also would not hook up any deal for our troubles which were entirely their fault.
This is multiple times they've said they had strains they didn't. At least other businesses will make up for it when they've screwed up. It was extremely annoying to go all the way there after CONFIRMING the $65 quarters AND strains and then being told none of it was available and they'd do nothing for us.
The product is of good quality but everything else experienced about this place sucks. DO NOT TRUST and DO NOT spend money in places that don't care about their customers.
I can't wait to see the "sorry, we really try" response from their employees for that damage control. Seriously, messed up.

I think I’ve had a different budtender every time, but everyone is so nice and willing to share their knowledge, recommendations etc. I really appreciate the time they put into you- at first I was put off by a long line, but it moved fast due to a bunch of staff, and even though the line was long they still took a bunch of time with me and did t make me feel rushed at all. LOVE this place

When the first rec cannabis stores were opening, this one was among the ones nearby me, so I've gone here for a bit, now. It all seems so nice as first. The colorful menus. The displays. The expensive as all hell--but that's expected--glasspipes and bongs.
But the service, left much to be desired. I love weed and I'm passionate about it, so I know a lot about it. Most of the budtenders here, didn't know much beyond the basics of sativa and indica. They will pretty much recommend you what they're trying to sell out of, instead of what you actually need for your cannabis concerns.
Example: I go in and tell the budtender that I'm looking for something for pain. Back pain. Chronic pain. She presents me Dawg Star Cannabis Orange Kush and says, "I really like this one because of the flavor. B-but it's good for pain, too. I use it for my stuff all the time." My bullshit alarm was already going off, but I was a seriously hurting unit and so took the recommendation, giving her the benefit of the doubt, hoping that I would have good results. Nope. Tastes great. Smells great. But potency in the high and it's ability to help relieve pain? Not there. At all.
I was not a happy camper about that.
Their prices are quite expensive. They very rarely had the ten dollar gram buds when I went. Always like 12 on up. Same thing with 1/8ths and qtrs. Very rarely will you see any 45 dollar 1/8ths. Their qtrs were about as expensive as what I'm used to paying for half O's. $120.00! I saw a few strains go even higher in price! On my third visit, they had some Dawg Star Cannabis Pineapple Kush or Haze which had piqued my curiosity, and it was 55 for an 1/8th. I took the plunge, and once again found myself with a pretty little glass jar(and they will swear up and down that you're not paying extra for the glass because the same company blows the glass,etc, which is believable until you realize they expect you to pay a minimum 15 dollar mark up for anything by them, that is close to 20.00% total cannabinoids including THC) , filled with good smelling and great tasting weed, that. just. isn't. potent enough. Which is really sad. When you pay 55 bucks at a 15 dollar mark-up as compared to the standard 40 an 1/8th, were all used to, you expect fire. You expect superior quality since you're paying more for it. I'm sure that we can all agree that that is a fair assumption to make, right? So, once again, their product failed to meet up to my, and I'm sure many others' (fair) standards. I know more about weed than the one surf/skateboard bum looking dude at the counter, and the rest of the counter staff tends to be women who weren't hired on the merits of their knowledge of cannabis(Guys you might be thinking who cares!? she looks good! she doesn't need to know alot! Yea, no. Just like people who buy music from "artists" just because they are physically attracted to them, y'all are hurting the overall industry with those mindsets and actions).
I stopped going here once I found out about another store in the area that sells some strains at 25 dollars an 1/8th. Once in awhile, when I'm already flush with what I need for my medical concerns, I stop by Clear Choice to see if they're offering any 25 dollar 1/8ths. Each time I've been told no, and one time one of the budtenders in skinny jeans proceeded to tell me in a sarcastic, condescending tone, "Uh, 1/8ths are at least 40 dollars..." Riiiiight. Y'all keep doing that. I'll be going to a place filled with budtenders that actually know their stuff, have a loyalty program for their customers savings, and provides 5-6 strains that are 25 dollar an 1/8th.
tl;dr: This is the place for people who have more money than brain cells. If you are proud of being that way, this is the store for you.

Everytime I try to venture out and find a new dispensary, I quickly discover that no one can top Clear Choice. The environment, the product, and the bud tenders that are always knowledgeable and willing to help. It’s a win everytime I walk in!!!
