The people are awesome here! Very friendly! Not a lot of stock when I went, though :(

Very professional and helpful people. This was a great experience for the first time to a dispensary.

First impression says alot about a person. I was very pleased with location and the friendly staff. Love coming here and you would to.. Clear choice is the only choice .

so, this isnt a bash review.... clear choice definitely has quality product, however, they are pretty pricey. their "top shelf" strains are good but not for the price. its a sad day when you can buy way better bud off the street and for cheaper! if they dropped everything like 5-10 bucks, they would be killer! maybe its just wishful thinking. they also are crowded quite often, causing you to wait for 20-30 minutes. 3/5 overall.

This is the first rec shop I ever visited and it was love at first sight. Yes, the lines can be long, but that's because they know their stuff so people keep coming back. The glass selection here is ridiculous and their rewards program and daily deals are pretty solid. The location is not the best and parking is definitely a problem, but it's still worth the hassle.

i will never purchase anything from this store again. the staff is inattentive, and knows little to nothing about their own products. the last two times i was there, i purchased a pre-rolled joint and they were nearly unsmokable. i had to put them out and finish them in a glass piece.

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.

Relaxed place with a cool vibe from the moment you enter. They have low to high quality products to match budgets, and a decent selection of glassware.
Staff is helpful and laid back - some are better than others of course. If there is one thing I wish they had, it would be a little more "info togo", e.g. a take home menu. I never know what is next and the menu on leafly is usually not 100% accurate. More info on what they have, when to expect the next stuff, and maybe some local info on events and growers. That would be all great info to take with my flowers and candy :).

Great location, decent prices. Please add a veteran discount (only reason I'm still going mainly to my old place)

The staff is always helpful and they are super awesome people that help you find exactly what you're looking for! Prices are fair for the quality products.

Aesthetically pleasing, clean atmosphere and killer staff. YOU are their priority.

Fanastic place. The guy that helped us was very helpful and was more than happy to answer any questions we had. I felt like I was at home when I walked into the shop. They didn't have any sugar free medibles but he said that they were getting some in. Will def be going back.

warmly greated, once I made it passed "the door" I was taken care of, the manager took so.e time to explain some key things I was interested in knowing about. selection was suitable for what I like, still learning!

I moved here from Portland and worked in the industry so you can imagine I'm picky with my dispensaries.I'm in there at least 3 times a week. Everytime I come in the check in desk men are always friendly with me and my roomies. Super stoked about the dab card bc there's no reward programs where I used to live. Huge selection and very knowledgeable friendly staff.
I want to call out a couple of the budtenders that always go above and beyond when I'm there.
Marina is the exzenplary example of what a bud tender should be, customer service foucused , with a genuine , knowledgeable approach.
Timothy , man super cool dude. Me and my roomie came in one day and when we were having a bad day and he turned out fronds upside down. Very knowledgeable , friendly and approachable.
thank you guys for being awesome!

keep your shit updated

I've been here a handful of times. It's worth the trip just for the customer service. As a recreational user I appreciate that I'm not looked down at here.
March 14, 2017
I am a regular customer here and I can't express the amount of professionalism I have received for more than a year now.
Some of the tenders know my name and you can tell they are passionate about their product and go out of their way to make sure the service is there.
Please, keep up the great service and thank you!!

Favorite shop in Tacoma, maybe Seattle too. Been here 10+ times. Usually good helpful service, regular deals on flower, cool repeat customer discounts. They're always running out of kief though (please keep more in stock), and glass is high quality but mostly too pricey. On weekends, the line can get long, but it moves fast.
