My first time visiting Tetra will for sure be my last. Arrived last Thursday 10/19 with two other folks ready to spend some serious money nearly 10 minutes before the shop's posted closing hours. The door was already locked, and we could see two male budtenders inside. We knocked on the door several times but we were totally ignored. In fact, the budtenders were laughing at us and our attempt to alert them to the time. Terrible customer service - they couldn't even step out to apologize for closing early? Not interested in trying out a shop that can't maintain consistent hours or take the time for new customers.
I'm not one to write online reviews, but after visiting Home Grown Apothecary a few times, I had to make sure others knew about this shop! Honestly, I was surprised to read the previous review - Albatross must have been confusing Home Grown with a totally different dispensary... The description doesn't at all describe my experience at Home Grown. After trying out many shops in the area, none have come close to providing the friendly and knowledgable customer service I get at Home Grown. I always look forward to hearing the staff suggestions for trying out new strains. Their advice has really broadened my experiences and brought me away from my narrow-minded obsession with Jack Herer. Also, their bud is mostly grown by them, and it is all organic. It's quality stuff! Ask where the bud comes from at most shops and whether it's organically grown, and you'll find shrugging budtenders surprised that the customer would even care. No one seems to know their plant sources besides Home Grown, so if keeping clean is important to you, this is your shop. I think the vibe is great, too. None of that sterile, intake behind glass, slip your ID through a slot, wait till we buzz you in, doctor's office-y feel. Worth the travel and the prices for a way warmer shopping experience than you'll get anywhere else. From now on, I won't be going anywhere else but Home Grown.
