I came into town on a vacation and popped in to The Tufted Puffin and had the best experience with Cosmo and Randy - they were incredibly friendly and gave me some awesome suggestions. Their joint effort made this one of the best dispensary experiences I’ve ever had while traveling - I HIGHLY recommend this place!

The Tufted Puffin is the place to go, Koa was super helpful with making our selection and we felt really welcome by them and everyone else in the town on our visit! Also really cute merch and Resurrection Bae had a cute selection of handmade jewelry! Would recommend.

Friendly staff. Limited but quality flower selection. Nice to smell, see, buy bulk buds again - toke local. Great art for sale, view in hall and in shop. CBD tea+ for what ails you, or your pet.

Very polite employees, great background music, decent prices ( considering this is Alaska + tourist destination ). Merchandise is of high quality, and whole offer is on LED displays, easy to read and understand. Besides basic offer, the store is filled up with edibles, exotic looking bongs, t-shirts, sweatshirts with their logo, hats and much more. Thumbs up 👍👍
