Love Alpine Essentials. was going to a competitor f9r a while and then decided to swing in. The staff is AMAZING. I mean seriously, they truly care. They aren't their just for tips and money, they want to help make sure you get your needs met. Not only that they offer awesome deals and they are all inclusive on pricing. No extras, u know exactly what your gonna pay walking out the door. Apline essentials know exactly the proper way to handle the sales of THC and others should truly see what they are doing. Oh! have them tell you about their partnership to earn u cash back on products as well. Who wouldn't want that?! I highly suggest visiting them and letting them get you the right product and meet your needs. Will be back!!! Thanks for all you do. 😊 ❤️

Excellent concentrate selection! This is definitely the place to go in the area. I didn’t get to really inspect the flower collection, but it seemed like they had a wide selection across several tables inside. The edible selection also looked pretty broad in its selection. Staff assists you on the floor with a tablet and everyone was very professional and older.

I stopped by Alpine Essentials last year while on a trip and was really impressed with the place. The staff was super friendly and helpful, taking the time to answer all my questions and help me find exactly what I was looking for. They had a great selection of products, and the prices were very reasonable. I ended up grabbing a bunch of stuff for my friends back home. The whole vibe of the place was relaxed and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you're ever in the area!
