I don’t usually write reviews but today I had an amazing experience at Catalyst. My bud tender rocked it and the overall vibe felt super soothing. Perfect for a cannabis user. Thanks!

These people have always been very friendly and I've not had one bad thing to say about them. They are very professional and engage with the customer to match what they need. The prices here are better than I've seen anywhere around town, respectfully. They have lots of good varieties of cannabis products including hasheesh as well as rosins and other goodies. And I've always felt welcome here.

Staff seems incredible but I just bought two 8ths there and opened up the bag to see one of my 8th only has three small nugs while the other 8th has about 10. I've been smoking a long time and am aware that different sizes and densities exist but this "8th" is pathetic and I'm very sure it's not an 8th but it's too late since it's the next day. Check your purchase before you leave the store bc I just paid $30 for three pieces of weed and they don't care today lol. they seem nice but are zero help and just a business after you leave !! I'm thinking maybe the dude weight the container or was roasted bc it's not adding up. Side note: they came in a fancy box with a cover (which made me forget to check) - enjoy but take caution.

Twice going in took 20 minutes. The black skinny girl takes too much time. This time she took a sale away from the gentleman helping me and tried selling me things I don't want. I wouldn't recommend this shop until she is gone
