I travel for a living and I’ve visited so many pot shops, well this one is the best yet. This shop knows what they are doing. Some of the best products this country has to offer and they are right here! Way to go guys. The lunchbox strain is godtier. W2g!

These guys know how to run a shop. Staff is very courteous and polite yet laid back and very knowledgeable of the product. Top quality flower at good prices. The deli menu allows customers a good range to choose from. If you are in this area stop in and check them out.

UPDATE: YES, THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THE MENU AND NOW THEY HAVE A WIDE VARIETY IN STOCK.I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING & OUT WEIGHS NOT HAVING AN ONLINE MENU. I UPED MY STARS TO 5 BC OF THEIR OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This dispensary is close to my house. I used it before they don't have a very big selection. They don't have any sativa in stock usually Of any kind. No online menu to see what's available. And their phone number does not work so you can't get ahold of them. So I'm giving them a one star.

Good vibes! Loved nerding out over flower with the guy working there, he really knows his stuff and is very friendly. The whole place is so cute and welcoming. You can see and smell the buds and the guy will help you pick out something to your taste if you need. It was expensive but I've smoked a LOT of craft flower and I'm a heavy daily smoker and this stuff blew me away!!! We came from Canada so we just got two pre rolls, which were honestly the best rolled pre rolls I've ever had. They didn't run or packed loose anywhere. We could only smoke half at a time and we were faded. Will return anytime I can 💜
