Nectar - Eugene River

11/28/2017
One of the first dispensaries I ever visited, and I still go back fairly frequently. They have a wonderful selection and their storage procedures make certain that light and temperature don't have a long lasting effect on your purchased product. They have something for every price range, but they always have a very competitive top shelf selection of flower and concentrate. I give them a 5/5 on Quality. Every time I have visited Nectar it has always been insanely busy. While I understand the pressure that can come from having a long line of people waiting, I do find that too often I feel like I am being herded like cattle. There is always a lot of pressure to get your transaction done quickly, which often times for me leads to buyers remorse. I just always seem to feel relieved to leave there while other places I am sometimes sad to go. The budtenders are always as friendly as possible, but the service could be a bit better. I give them a 3/5 on service. The atmosphere is pretty cold and there is a lot of empty space in the showroom. Again, it is usually pretty busy and they usually have people lined up using ropes. There is no freedom to look around and the display cases until you are already up there and you have to make a decision. It is, however, always clean and well maintained which I really appreciate. For this reason I give them a 3/5 for Atmosphere. Overall this is a great place for anyone who prefers more of a cashier experience than a salesperson experience. If you want to go somewhere and shop around this may not be the best place for you.

Selection is pretty decent as they do have a lot of choices for every type of smokeable, edible, and topicals at varying price ranges and I appreciate that they hand roll their pre rolls with all bud. There are some issues though that can't be overlooked. It seems like this shop is trying to make a name as the place to buy cheap (and I mean cheap in every sense of the word) weed. Their "B buds" strains are pretty abysmal to look at. It looks like bud that was horribly mistreated which is why they are selling it for such a crazy low price. For some it may be considered a bargain, but for anyone with a concern for quality will want to pass up even looking at the B buds. They can't really compete when it comes to top shelf buds, but they have some really good $5/gram strains quite often. For this reason I have given them a 3/5 on Quality. The service has always been the best thing about this shop. Its not usually very busy so they are almost always willing to take the extra time to engage in genuine conversation with you, which is rare. It is a refreshing break from the "see em and sell em" approach of most salespeople these days. I give them a 5/5 on service. The physical condition of the building both outside and in is the biggest problem with the experience you get walking into this shop. During the summer there was a broken air conditioner that would consistently drip on people as they entered and exited the store. I almost turned around and walked away right then and there. Being greeted by stale condensation from an old ac unit on top of your head is not a good way to start. Honestly this place needed to be gutted, cleaned, and remodeled. It would be excusable for an industrial workplace, but not for a retail location with customer. For this reason I am giving them a 1/5 on Atmosphere. Overall it is a place that would be a good stop for cooking weed and if you plan your visits right you can actually get some really good prices on concentrate and cartridges. Just don't walk in with your connoisseur hat on or you will be disjointed.

This is by far my favorite spot to go to in Eugene. The selection is phenomenal and the service is always friendly. The inside is clean and well painted and the displays are arranged in a way that makes it fun to just go in and look around. They frequently have sales going on and always have something for every price range. Great place that I am happy to go back to anytime!
