Callie’s Cannabis Shoppe (RiNo)
3054 Larimer St., Denver, CO — recreational
“So I’ll admit that I’m an out of town-er, but I smoke often and know what I do and don’t like. This place was specifically recommended as the “place for stoners” and somewhere that I absolutely had to check out. While I often present a challenge for budtenders, I try to ask for recommendations and give them the opportunity to flex their product knowledge and tastes. Admittedly, this place was awesome. Just waiting to be let in, the other customer and I laughed as we heard glowing reviews from a staff member about a particular product. Just from that moment alone, I was already impressed. I care a lot about what I put in my body and to hear staff be that passionate made me excited to see what they recommend. The woman I spoke to there was amazing.
She was extremely friendly, warm, and kind and more than happy to provide recommendations. I gave her my criteria and she ran with it. I ended up with such a bigger variety than I thought I would and would honestly just go back again for her recommendations alone. I’m sorry I don’t remember her name but she was super bubbly and talked a lot about how she liked the designs on the resin gummies. One product she gave a glowing review for were the house brand “dog walkers”. I absolutely loved the clamshell package with all of the joints and provided matches organized inside. Despite their small size they pack a punch so be careful smoking more than one at once. Next time I’m in town, this is the first place I’m going and the place I’ll recommend to all of my friends who smoke as well.”

She helped me find the right combo to stay in my budget yet still ensured I have the best product. She absolutly made my entire terrible day so much better. Thank you Ali and Magnolia Road for the amazing experience.”
The Kind Room

“After stopping at a few shops in Denver, we quickly realized that The Kind Room is where we need to make return visits. Unmatched product knowledge and general kindness were the most obvious of positive attributes. Great prices and quality make it a no brainer… Thank you kind people at The Kind Room for making our visit to Denver a great experience!”
