Very knowledgeable about the pre rolls. I had him pick me the three best ones and they were all very good tasting just like he said. Most budtenders just tell ya what you wanna hear then you get home and taste the weed and it’s crap. I’m glad I found someone who actually knows what good weed tastes like. Thanks James!

Bryn has helped me several times and is always so nice and pleasant. Great energy and vibes at Lake Effect but I think the majority of that is the staff, and Bryn is at the top of my list ☺️ thank you!

I don't buy often and came in for a vape cartridge. The guy kept trying to upsell me hard but I don't use often so I just needed 1 cart. He sold me on 2 and imagine my surprise when I get home and they're both disposable vapes. I even tipped the guy. At least I got half off for first time customer but I will definitely not be back. I guess not much loss as I don't vape much. I feel like the employee took advantage of me not knowing much about cannabis. Also I tried the vapes and they tasted burnt and no feeling at all. Even the usual vapes I get 50% CBD and 50% THC give me a good relaxed feeling. This place seems a bit scammy

I really appreciated the friendliness and speediness of the staff. Shout out Sean! I was greeted in a friendly manner, he was knowledgeable about products and pricing. All that and I was in and out 3 mins flat. Unfortunately, I spent all the cash I had and couldn't leave a tip, but hopefully Sean will see a small bonus from this review!
