All of the staff were very helpful and friendly ☺️☺️ J.Roller was awesome at helping me find some new strains and finding everything I needed. Also they have good prices and deals 💚💛❤️

This is, in fact, the one and only dispensary that I can stomach going to, most are either overpriced or shady. I love it's location...it has to be somewhere one is directed to find, being in a lot w a storage facility; I find that it helps w keeping the volume low enough to combat long lines and waiting times 😁
My VIP dispensary, the CDC.

Flower has ZERO crystals and smells like hay. Not artisan quality.
Staff was nice enough, but unintentionally very condescending. Will not visit again.

Great service! JRoller went out of his way to help me replace the bowl piece on my bong. It had been a while since I'd been here last but I was happy to see the that everyone was just as helpful as I'd remembered--I've always been happy with my purchases here, and appreciate how willing the workers are to walk you through their different products, and especially how often they will go out of the way to tell you about their discounts!

CDC is the number one spot in the Tigard-Beaverton-Portland area, best prices and better quality compared around town! Friendly budtenders that care about what they sell.

I went to CDC yesterday and Ty helped me out. Ty is the nicest dude and really listens to your needs. If your on a budget, he gets it. If you just want indica cause Sativa isn’t your thing, he gets it. I really like how I always feel welcome and the indica is on point.
Thank you guys for the great vibes!

I've been going to The CDC for awhile now with my partner who is Deaf. Every time has been an amazingly pleasant experience for the both of us. They Bud Tenders always take their time and don't rush at all. We really appreciate this because I have to translate between the three of us. Today we took some extra time and the guy who helped us was so knowledgeable. We usually go in for oil and we asked for some recommendations for my vape pen. He recommended the Blue Bianca and it has not disappointed at all. The first time we went in we were for sure shocked by the location, but that all fades away during your visit due to the friendly atmosphere. Thanks for being awesome keep it up!

The literal most helpful staff. They take care of their customers every single time! I cannot speak higher of them.
If it's your first time in, ask for Isaac, Ty, or Schilly. Those guys are mega friendly and always have solid recommendations!

my favorite dispensary to visit. I will say that I don't necessarily enjoy the sarcasm I get from some individuals when I'm asking about strains, but nevertheless I understand. Still enjoy coming here though.

I stop here all the time!! The staff is super friendly and it's on the way home!! Keep up the good work guys!

I decided to give this place a second chance, and they actually stepped their game up. While the parking is still a big issue, the quality of their concentrates was decent. I didn't really look at the flower. Maybe next time. They had a lot of familiar products, and I liked that. The service was great. I could tell my budtender was working hard to be informative and helpful as best he could. The other budtender assisting my friend was also very friendly and funny (he had really curly hair and a cool hat). Atmosphere overall felt a little bit cramped. I felt like I was blocking the display when other people came in to browse. I'm glad I gave you guys a second chance. Cheers!

Had a bad experience. The girl that checked me in was really nice. But when I went back to get my goods the dude was really short and rude. He seemed irritated with every question I had and did not give me the service I am used to when going to cannabis shops. I felt super rushed and did not feel welcomed at all. I would come back if he didn't work there anymore, I'm sure everyone else is much nicer.

Lots of variety.

I loved this place. It was just down the road from my house, the staff was always friendly, the selection was good, and their prices were okay.
Today, bought a cartridge on their recommendation, only to discover about an hour later that it was defective. I returned with my receipt to exchange the cartridge and was told that "because of Covid" they could not exchange or refund me.
I have been told repeatedly at multiple dispensaries to keep my receipt in the event of getting a defective cartridge to exchange them. As recently as last week, a dispensary in N. Portland reminded me when I purchased one.
There is no logical reason why Covid should prevent them from exchanging a defective product. Your inability to get your money back on it should not be passed to your customers.
My household have been regular customers for the last two years, but that ends today. I suggest if you want to support a local dispensary in the Tigard area, you patronize Juan and his crew at the Magic Castle. They know how to take care of their customers. Clearly, whoever is making policy decisions at the CDC dispensary, does not.

Great stuff and good prices on some quality product. They have an excellent loyalty system, and always offer great deals. I usually stop in once a week, and I always walk away happy.

The people were nice and really stoked on their product but it just wasn't quite boutique. If you are a snob, like me, you may find yourself kicking their product down to a friend as a gift. If you are a laid back person who likes good bud and isn't looking for meticulous trim and insane trichomes with a terpene profile to knock your socks off, then this place will do you just fine. Having said that, their prices should also reflect that and come down a bit. The competition is fierce, i wish them luck.

I love CDC’s employees. Everyone is so helpful and they take the time to make sure you get what you want. They never rush me and are knowledgeable in their products. I have gone there enough times that they remember what I like and know what new products to offer me.

This use to be my go to dispensary. Lately or the last few times I decided to come in before the number counter. One of the employees #1 passed me up 4 times. Then I had to be pushy and rude to get any service. The next week he was just as rude. On Halloween I came in. Same dude. Why. I was like I telling him what I think. I did. I will

I love this place. I went in today and was greeted instantly. I checked in behind a few others and waited shortly to be helped. This store has such a comfortable atmosphere- like visiting with your friends. I was helped by Aaron and he was great! Very knowledgeable and down to earth. I won't go anywhere else; great selection!

It’s a mixed bag here. The customer service depends on who’s helping you but there are some very helpful, knowledgeable bud tenders. Pricing is good but for the quality and service, you getting what you’re paying for. The selection is small but they do always have a few really good strains. I wish they took more care in the product they’re selling instead of the fast food approach to quality, presentation and customer service.

I love this store! They always have great deals, awesome quality, and everyone who works there is super friendly.

The CDC was such a chill dispensary to visit. We are only in Oregon so often and we will be for sure visiting CDC again when we are in town. They had a 10% sale on our favorite flower to which was a huge plus! Thanks again for being so hospitable.

Always a pleasure to shop at this casual and small, but well stocked dispensary. Friendly and helpful staff is attentive but never pushy. Dylan helped me out today and directed me to some great deals and helped me find just what I was looking for.
