Higher Leaf - Kirkland

This place felt like an Ikea, everything very pricey and there's no price on anything they have to scan each individual item to find the price. Not a fan.

Not a friendly place at all. I went in late, on a Wednesday. The guy at the door was really cool, but then I approached the counters. Two people were working -- a guy and a girl -- and both acted like I didn't exist. I was the only one there, and I had to ask for help. The girl agreed, but she acted like I was a plague victim. Bottom line... there are plenty of places to buy smoke, and there's no reason to waste your time at a place that doesn't like customers.

Living on the EASTeastside of Seattle, stores close earlier, but HigherLeaf will stay for ya. Love the wider store!!!!!! Close by great staff!!! See ya all soon. Peace Out, for now. "Live Long & Vape On!" Hippie Juice Man.

I was a loyal customer of both the Kirkland and Bellevue locations of Higher Leaf until they refused to honor the loyalty discount I had earned. Without the discount, their flower prices are higher than most other stores in the area, and definitely more expensive than Bothell area stores. Will find a new dispensary, and will encourage others to do so as well.

Quality of their bud is just terrible. Over-priced. Just because pot it legal doesn't mean its all created equal! Beware.

I really don't entirely understand the negative reviews, so I felt the need to counteract them objectively. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Higher Leaf. Having gone in the other day with a multitude of questions (I have zero experience with concentrates, I was given plenty of time to review my symptoms, what I needed, and a series of strains to choose from. I was also explained the effects of all the strains I was shown and what they believed would benefit my illnesses the most. Overall, the atmosphere is wonderful, the bud-tenders are knowledgeable and friendly, and I have never received bunk product. Would recommend this location!

I stopped going here several months ago because they are expensive, don't update their menu and lack in the customer service department.

I really like this place. Staff is very friendly and professional. Space is clean. And the quality is top notch. Highly Recommended.

great staff and a wonderful menu!

The people were nice enough here but for whatever reason the prices are higher than the Bellevue Higher Leaf. For the exact same product I paid $10 more. No thanks.

Convenient location, horrible service and prices. These budtenders take the cake for attitude. They are generally condescending and short, and know very little about the product other than the usual "this will make you lazy , this will make you creative" nonsense. They used to have good Doc Croc specials but the Tuesday special is not worth going in for. Too much bad weed to liquidate. The pricing all ends in &.99, okay you're customers aren't stupid guys. Maybe include tax in the price, that would actually be helpful. Brought my mom in here, she needed an edible to help with sleep and the guys said they don't have anything like that. You carry a "sleep tincture" buddy. Another sad story for us smokers on the Eastside.

I LOVE this shop! This is my main shop and I go out of my way to get there, I love it that much! The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and fast!

I love this store! The outside doesn't look like much but the inside!! Oh my! Just beautiful, spacious and well appointed. The staff is awesome! I joined the Frequent Flyer club (20% off the 5th visit)...and the products are wonderful!

this is my favorite shop! the staff is very knowledgeable and always sends me home with the best of the best! thanks team! 😊

The Bud tenders @ this location are very knowledgeable in the products they carry.They are friendly and helpful.

We bought 1 gram of F*ing Incredible here. Inside the package were two chunks, one bigger than the other. The small one was great but when we fired up a pipe with some of the remainder it was immediately clear that something was wrong. The weed smelled different from the first chunk and tasted like bug spray. It was simply awful and obviously there was no smoking it. We understand you can't take it back but when we asked about policy we were basically told to contact the grower (which is ridiculous) and "tough luck." "Too bad, pal," isn't much of a store policy. If I bought bad cheese at TJs they would give a store credit without thinking about it, probably because they assume their customers aren't thieves trying to con them. I wouldn't have minded so much but the clerk waiting on us was so obviously contemptuous of us of us older folks that he didn't even bother to hide it. His tone, his attitude, everything was like we were wasting his time--and this is while we were also buying something at the same time. At the end, we asked if there was anything like a Senior discount. He looked down his nose at us and said, "Yes, but you have to ask for it." Well, Champ, you have to know a policy is in place before you can ask for it. He couldn't even be bothered to say thank you when we left with our purchase. If it had been me behind the counter I would have said, "Look, I can't take bad weed back and we don't give store credit but I can give you a 20% discount today, including a Senior discount, and stamp your punch card twice." Keeping customers happy doesn't seem to factor into what Higher Leaf is doing. If you can't take care of your customers at least give your employees enough training to keep them from being rude to your customers. As for me, I'm not going back to Higher Leaf.

Expensive!

I am blown away by the fact that I can buy weed legally, safely, AND have found a location that is so welcoming that makes the purchase that much more sweet. Nick is the coolest dude with great knowledge and love for this art. Gabe is awesome too and went the extra mile to help me purchase exactly what I wanted. In my 20+ years actively surfing the net, I have only once taken time to do a review -- and that was for a once-in-a-lifetime authentic Samurai interactive experience in Kyoto Japan. So hats off to Higher Leaf, the only place where I now look forward to visiting each week to fill my herb needs.

One of the more expensive locations on the Eastside. Unlike other shops in the area they do not include sales tax in their prices, which makes their pricing more expensive than it appears. On top of that, they use a $XX.99 pricing model as another method to appear cheaper than they actually are. Even after many customers complain about this pricing model they refuse to change it. So, unless Higher Leaf proves it actually cares what their customers think, I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.

I've only been to a few rec shops in wa, but this has hands down been my favorite. Laid back atmosphere, helpful staff, decent prices. I live a block away from a rec. shop, but will be traveling 20 min to this place again because it's just that much better.

Here's the thing- I absolutely hate shops that have a gated line (like at the airport). I see why they do, it's s big shop, but I always feel rushed and it's usually super crowded. Also, like many shops on the eastside, it's over-priced. The only times I go here is when I'm in a rush and it's convenient.

These guys have sold me the wrong strain twice. The first time I noticed right away, fortunately, but the second time I didn't notice for several days, so I was stuck with something I didn't want. Check the labels carefully with these guys, and don't assume that what you asked for is what they handed you.

Very knowledgeable employees who always take the time to make sure customers feel welcomed and listened to! I always get amazing advice and deals for whatever I’m in the mood for!

Been a loyal customer since they had the small shop next door. Been pretty dissatisfied with the lack of top shelf options in kirkland. The menu has been flooded with bargain bud. The Bellevue location has the better selection and service. Not sure why they decided to that to the Kirkland location. The "top shelf" products are cheaper at the other local options. I won't be back.
