This seemed like a cool shop. I liked the layout and it was easy to navigate their selection. If you're a recreational shopper, this might be a decent stop.
I think the vibe the budtender was trying to cultivate was one of friendly snarkiness, but it really came off as dismissive. Probably some of the worst customer service I've had in about a year. I'd definitely recommend avoiding this place if you're a medical customer or are hearing impaired. I'll probably try this spot again and see how it goes.

This is by far my new favorite dispensary. The flower is incredibly well priced for the quality. I've never bought anything I wasn't pleased with. The employees are very helpful if you need help, and are awesome at sensing when you need a moment to look. They give great advice and never upsell.
On one embarrassing occasion I paid for a gram of flower and walked out having been given change but no flower. As embarrassed as I was to check over such a small quantity, I called the next day and they verified what had happened and said I could come in to pick it up. No interrogation - just kindness.
When I showed up to pick up the missed flower they had stuffed 2.5 grams into the container. They could have assumed I was some sketchy dude pulling one over on them, but instead they helped me out during a really tight week.
Aside from the remarkable heroism displayed during that ordeal they've just been consistently awesome to work with. They are always friendly and the place is always super clean. These are the kind of people to buy cannabis from.

I've been here twice now and walked away extremely impressed with the service on both occasions. I would feel comfortable bringing my mom here. Super clean shop, staff is exceptionally courteous and easy to talk to. Tyler is top notch at what he does and it's obvious that he has a genuine passion for his work. I never felt like I was being talked into a strain I wasn't interested in, and both the suggestions were better than what I went in for. I never caught the name of the person that helped me the second time I visited, but he was equally helpful despite the insane rush they were going through. On top of the awesome service, I ended up with some of the tastiest grass I've encountered in awhile. Many thanks to the folks that run this place!

I've visited this dispensary twice and had great service on both occasions. The environment is professional, but inviting. I like that it sits somewhere between a clinic and boutique in the vibe. Not too casual, but not too clinical. The budtenders seem to recommend things actually worth buying as opposed to trying to clear out undesirable product. Both times I came here was to track down Ghost Train Haze by Rare Dankness, and was surprised to see how many other harder to find strains were available. The quality of the flower is on par or better than any of the other shops I've been to, and I appreciated that they were the only shop I've been to where the weight on the label actually matched what my scale said at home, so kudos for actually taring the scale! No down sides to speak of.

Excellent strain for creativity when you get a good batch. I've seen a lot of variety in smells depending on which dispensary I pick this up from, but usually I'm smelling granny smith apples, skunk, fuel, and hops. The smell translates well to the flavor of the smoke, and my room always smells really good after smoking (enough that my wife who doesn't smoke comments on how nice it smells). I like this strain because you can take a few hits and really dig in to a creative project and get a huge surge of ideas, but if it's the only strain you have on hand, you can smoke more and get plenty out there for focused music listening, etc. I'm a big fan of strains that are multi-functional and allow you to titrate your dose for different purposes throughout the day. I love grinding some of this up with some Green Crack or Super Sour Diesel.

This is hands down my favorite indica strain at the moment. I've had multiple examples from different growers and they have all been exceptional. Aroma has varied from cherry candy to concord grapes. Definitely some amber notes too. Once smoked, the flavor always leans cherry candy for me. Normally I'm more into hashy, dieselly, cheesey smelling strains, but Romulan pushed me out of my normal pattern. For me, the high reminds me of Jager, another indica with a heavy narcotic-like body high, except while Jager can force sleep on you, Romulan will facilitate sleep IF you want it. I've smoked Romulan mid day and Ben fully capable of detailed work like soldering. Great for pain and stress. I usually lean towards 50/50 and sativa dom hybrids, but I always like to keep Romulan around as my indica option.
