Paper and Leaf - Bainbridge Island

I’m really bummed it has my #1 favorite weed store has changed. They used to have knowledgeable budtenders who actually talked to you about their products and help you find what you need. (I’m an in/out kind of person - just want to find what I need and be in my way). My last 2 experiences (during COVID quarantine): 1) phone order - asked for pesticide free flower and gave them a price threshold. I let them to select for me and I drove in for curbside pickup. Once home, I checked labels and 3 out of 4 packs had pesticides. I thought - hey I’ll let this slide because I wanted to be flexible. 2) I called in with similar request - after a couple minutes on the phone trying to select just ONE option of pesticide free flower (1 oz), the salesperson says hey it’s getting busy here you’ll have to call back later. Tells me to check their website. But the website has NO real info or descriptions of the weed they sell. And no pesticide info. So how do I find out about the product if no one will talk on the phone? Honestly even before the Quar, they were rushing people, trying to up sell constantly, and are no longer friendly. If you don’t want top shelf they have no time for you. The budtenders are just cashiers now. I have been loyal to P&L even though they are more expensive than a lot of stores because of service and wanting to shop local. Service is no longer a priority for them, so I’ll stop recommending them and just shop elsewhere. Plenty of shops to choose from out there.

great place!

Nice staff. Bought some "cheaper" weed at $9-10 gram. I usually get top knotch bud that is fresh and sweet. However, the last two times, I have bought stuff that is "expired" according to the date on the package. It's over a year old weed. Terrible and I chocked myself to death. I know you cannot return it, but I think that the bud tenders should at least tell the customer that. Most stores will pull out a few for you to look at and choose, but at this store they just grab once and then put it in the bag for you without even letting you look at what you are getting. It was very disappointing this time...

the ride out to Bainbridge is a beautiful treat -- the dispensary has a shuttle that will pick you up curbside; the staff was incredibly knowledgeable and was quick to answer every question without hesitation. great selection and great brands; high THC content strands. the owner, Brendan, lead me around the store and explained each product, and then I lead him around and he made a detailed list of everything I wanted. it was a unique boutique cannabis experience and the most memorable of my recreational shopping history. I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff, the product and their atmosphere. best dispensary ever.

Lovely store with friendly and knowledgable people. Prices seem pretty on target for WA state. Selection is huge! Very welcoming atmosphere.

My only gripe about this place is the prices, and sometimes the service. Breezy, Ed, and Eric are always so awesome, happy, and attentive! I've noticed with the rest of the budtenders it's hit or miss, and you can really tell when they're having a bad day.. Which happens to the best of us, but still - I'm paying twice the price at your dispensary as I am most other places.. The least you could do is smile & make the best of your shitty day for your customers! Make work your happy place! For the most part, their budtenders are well informed on the products they stock, and chances are someone in there can answer your question whether it's an employee or a patron. Their selection is incredibly expansive, the shop is soooo clean all of the time which is a major +++, medical patients will appreciate that the most I think! Their weekly sales are rad if you're wanting to try new stuff or branch out from what you usually smoke without paying full price :) (10% off on their grower of the week sales). Like I said, for the most part everyone here is super nice and super chill, the budtenders I named off are definitely my favorites though! I've been treated kinda meh when I've came in on my days off dressed like a bum, so I don't come here as often as I used to because I'm a firm believer in "treat the janitor with as much respect as you would treat the CEO", but that's neither here nor there. You can bring your furry friends which is a huge upside and is really nice! They also opened up a coffee/head shop next door and they're open until 8, so you never have to feel too guilty picking up an indica if you have plans for the night ;) just grab an espresso and you're good to go. Bottom line, good people, good weed, big price tags. I've bought things from paper & leaf that are literally 50% more expensive than for example, Uncle Ike's in Seattle or some of the other places in Kitsap County. Which is a damn shame! All this place is missing is a more competitive price point (and some happier days for their employees! smile guys, you're awesome!)

This is one of the most put together dispensaries I have ever been into. Top notch employees who are very knowledgeable and friendly, GREAT layout and displays and an amazing atmosphere to be in. Don't forget to stop next door and check out the Marketplace with coffee, one of a kind accessories, original prints and food.

so lucky to have a swell ganja boutique like paper & leaf on our verdant island.. . .

Best shop I've been in. The staff is knowledgeable and patient.

Cannabis tourists are we. We were very happy with our experience at Paper And Leaf. Good service and product. Next time we're back in WA we'll plan another visit.

The artsy ambiance of this venue, welcoming warmth of proprietors and experience-informed insights by bud tenders of depth and range is unequalled in the region. Featuring locally produced and sun grown products raised using organic methods like Moani is exceptional, but adding the intriguing topical and internal use products from Ethos Extracts that employ a holistic and whole plant philosophy is brilliant. The only thing missing? God's Gift flowers from Buddy Boy Farm, tested at 41% THC by Anatek Labs, using liquid chromatography. We shall return...

not even officially open yet they are officially awesome in my book

First class joint! Great greenery, amazing selection and a super friendly vibe. Go now

Chaotic atmosphere. I had just started to get information about the bodycare products from a sales associate when the owner himself came over with two other customers, literally mowed us out of the way, and I never even had a chance to look at the product, or to continue my conversation and questions with the sales associate. I was appalled by the owner's rude and inconsiderate behavior, and will not go back.

I go to this glorious establishment very frequently and even though I already reviewed the shop, it deserves two shout outs!! Every person involved with Paper and Leaf is genuinely awesome, super nice and helpful & overall RADICAL!!!! Shouts to both Nicks, both J's (Jason & James I think) and to Paul!!!! The recommendations are always spot-on and perfect!!!! Oh, and to who helped me yesterday I think, who recommended the KaiDro Super Blue Dream, man that stuff was FIRE!! Gracias and sorrs I am bad with names but I will connect nex time I roll through!!!!

The prices are so great! The have 4 packs for 19 dollars if you want to go for bulk, and they also have various other 5 to 10 dollar preroll choices. The atmosphere is so great and I really enjoyed how friendly and cool they all were. Very knowledgeable and they even have a shuttle that goes back and forth from the Ferry and the weed shop

I accidentally sent a return to your address for refund. Can you please return it to me???

I'm very happy to have them open ,has everything I want, very good friendly helpfull budista's

Warm and pleasant atmosphere with a friendly and helpful staff. Good selection. Definitely check out their sister shop next door (same owners). "Market Elevated" for CBD products, accessories, espresso ... very nice people working there, as well.

Congratulations to the staff on the Best of Kitsap County award for Paper & Leaf. There are numerous reasons they won. Too many to list here. I travel past at least one other store to get there. Why haven't you been there yet?

The Paper and Leaf gets all my business, the staff is very helpful and knowledgable. Jason is my goto bud tender but all are excellent. The location is very discrete but also easy to get in and out. They now are approved for medical too.

Absolutely wonderful location. Great selection, great staff, great atmosphere. I highly recommend.

I was in a few days ago and for the second time I had the most amazing experience with one of their employees. Nicholas who typically is behind the counter getting orders came out onto the floor and helped me for almost an hour. That may seem over the top but I can assure you I need it. I suffer from multiple health problems that often keep me at home. I have difficulty standing for very long, and get very weak fast. On both occasions of my being helped by Nicholas, he graciously took the time and care to help me around the store and to repeatedly grab the stool for me to sit down. He never pushes any products on me but I always leave with more than I had intended on purchasing, and much happier about it. Nicholas has a vast knowledge of marijuana that he has imparted onto me already but he gave me multiple websites and books to check out to do my own research. On top of that he gave me his personal email in case I had any further questions for him, that is customer service. He always helps me find just the right products and I can't thank him enough! I'm always excited to be going to visit my friends at paper and leaf! Please have Nicholas know that his work is greatly appreciated by me and the many friends I send your way. I love paper and leaf, they are the best recreational shop around!

Paper and Leaf is a great looking shop with a nice quality selection. It's also the only place on the island to purchase cannabis. They are priced fairly, but with the caveat that other places a bit further away (a shop in Bremerton offers sales of 30% the entire store on Fridays) so I find myself saving more by shopping off island. Great for a quick re stock, but outside of a random 10% coupon, it's not my go-to.
