This is one of the only places open late on a Sunday which I’m very thankful for! I came in 20 minutes before close and got everything I needed super fast. The budtenders were nice and the selection seems great! I’ll be back to check out more :)

Great selection, but minus 2 stars for horrible customer service. The girl working out front acted so miserable that I felt let a burden to be shopping with them to support the business. I Let her know what I was looking for and she didn’t even care, let alone give any guidance or recommendations. How is it possible to be that miserable at a dispensary?

After having dinner, my in laws visiting from out of town wanted a vape before they went to bed. The two bud tenders working that night were amazing! They gave me such good information and product recommendations. They were personable and knew what they were talking about. I didn’t feel rushed or pushed to spend money just because. The layout, products, and design of the store were clean and aesthetically pleasing. I hope to be back soon.

Twice I have shown up within minutes of closing. Staff was courteous, understanding, and extremely helpful. I couldn't apologize enough for being so close to their closing time. Honestly, they were just happy to help. Nice selection and decent prices as well!!
Smoking indoors? The right air purifier eliminates smoke and odor in minutes.
