This store has a great feel, amazing team and wonderful selection of cannabis. If you don't know what to look for hit up Jacob, he is my budtender and now a friend! I added an exclamation point so you know I mean it!

A well hidden gem,off the beaten path in Totem Lake. Ample parking. Inviting, friendly, knowledgeable staff. As a new purchaser the guys here made it comfortable. It's like the mom and pop Ganga shop. No big box feel. Make the trip.

Great shop. I come here all the time. I met this one Asian dude named Ruben there though, and we kick it every now and then. I think he lives in this store. He keeps talking about sad pandas, but I've never heard about that strain. Funny dude. Great store.

Went to check out this new store in Kirkland, it was very chic and cozy. The staff was very knowledgeable. The prices were INSANE... $10 for a gram?!?!? Cant wait to go back and try more!

Buyer beware! We bought a few vape cartridges from them, one just happened to be broken. Tried to return it they declined us and offered to sell us one for 25$. Off of some legal BS that the law prohibits the return of faulty products. So we bought another cartridge from them. Walked out of the store and again it was broken! They offered no solution to mend our frustration besides we can sell you another... Other than losing my trust they were our favorite place to shop.

Great out of the way location,don't like driving in the city to get to the weed store myself so a leisurely drive in a bit of forest is cool. Banners along road helped me find the place. Parking where you can find it so far,it's new, liked the walk into the store, large switchback ramp to a deck with some nice furniture and lit candles gave the store a home feel. Was greeted at the door with a smle, told the man need for grams and has a limited budget and the bud tender help me out by offering me too wonderfully tasting strains as it turned out later so I got some Dutch treat and some snoops dream which turned out to be will cured to my pleasant surprise and we're very flavorful I had to break up the bus with my grinder because they were so frosty with trichomes. all around great experience for the first time shopper that I was. sensitive great experience that I'll be going there again soon and hope to be a loyal customer.

I made an account here just to review Mary Jane. By far the best recreational store I've been in as far as prices go. I wish they had a few more of the larger capacity cartridges (e.g. in the Optimum they only had .5G even though the online menu has 1G). The staff was super friendly and helpful and they have a frequent visitor card to help save even more.

Smaller shop, a little hard to find. However, they have a great selection of edibles, buds, and concentrates. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will definitely be coming back again soon!

Best prices in the state? WRONG, very very wrong. This is just a flat-out lie. Went here and was disappointed by the selection and pricing. The owners are out of touch with the culture or just don't use cannabis. Sad when you can see right through the BS and there's just another greedy I-502 lottery winner behind it.

Small but well stocked. The staff are both friendly and knowledgeable. I'm mostly into concentrates, and they have a great selection to go along w/ all the flowers. I now drive past my old shop to come here. Worth the trip!

Stopped by because I was in the area with my fiancé. We were given a warm welcome and were helped with all our needs. The shop itself is amazing. I love the outdoor seating area, it's very trendy. A++

These guys and gals are the REAL DEAL!! I'm talking friendly, professional and knowledgeable! They know their product, they sell it for a great price....what more do you need? I am not someone who typically leaves reviews but ill be damned if they don't deserve it!

I had trouble finding the place to start with so I logged on to Leafly to get their number - none listed. Finally found the place and it looked rather creepy from the outside, especially with the wall of half burnt candles!?!
Once inside I mentioned I was looking for something for headaches, specifically migraines. The guy helping me started putting random packages on the counter and said they would be relaxing. When I asked how they would be different from other strains I read about that are supposed to help he told me all strains are so over bred that they are all basically the same! Meanwhile the other person working at the time was laughing as he listened. When I looked up the strains on Leafly on my cell he told me that those are just people's opinions of they work for headaches and you can't really trust it.
I should also add that I didn't see any of the growers brands that I'm used to seeing at shops. Not sure why or if that means anything.
Overall, save your money and go to a shop where they know the products and are Interested in truly helping their customers.

Been going here since they opened and have watched the customer service consistently get worse. The store is nice products are good but with all the stores to choose from bad customer service is not worth coming back. After waiting at the door for a unnecessary amout of time we went to use the cash machine and was yelled at because he had not checked our id yet. The people working behind the counter act as though they hate their job and you are an inconvienence by asking them a question.

This is the third shop I visited after legalization, and the closest to home for me. The prices are comparable to other shops I’ve been to, quality was generally a bit lower aside from cartridges, relatively high staff turnover. After years of going here and bringing friends when they were in the area, I purchased a cartridge on a Friday night for a weekend trip to the peninsula. I arrive to my destination... it doesn’t work. I tried two batteries, nothing. I called right at opening on Monday, knowing I’d be just outside of the 48 hour return window. They informed me that they would not allow for exchange or refund. I emailed the owner, explaining the situation (the completely unusable product and my weekend without ability to use it, my contacting them as soon as they opened after getting back late Sunday, my being a client since they opened...) and requested a reply within 48 hours. A month later, and I still have no reply. I already went further if I wanted a better experience. Now I will for ANY experiences. Would NOT recommend.

This store has nice variety of strains and some they carry and you don't find it everywhere like Tangie. I read reviews about people being rude n stuff i think all these dispensaries have people working there of all backgrounds so you get individuals with different attitude everywhere not just here. But my experience was positive so far. Too many young people work at these shops with little experience.

Prices are good and staff are extremely friendly; however, in my opinion, the product lacks quality.

This is the closest dispenserary to me. It is a little tricky to find the first time as it's tucked in an industrial area (easy to miss the final turn so go slow). I love this shop for a variety of reasons. I can bring my dog in (they love him), I get knowledgeable staff each time, it's always quick but never rushed, they carry a wide variety of product. What's not to love?

I just wanted to say again, I love this store, it's smell and it's dapper looking, product informed staff. Most know my name and what I'm looking tfor and I appreciate that shit!
