Empire Gardens
About Empire Gardens
Out on Heacock Street in Moreno Valley, Empire Gardens holds a 4.3 rating across 82 reviews. Hours run a generous 6 AM to 10 PM every day. The shop has a niche reputation among cart enthusiasts — reviewers specifically call out the strong Big Chief cart selection, including the newer all-in-one pods, sticks, and live resin offerings. Customers also get free swag like stickers and lanyards when stock allows. The flip side: some recent reviews flag specific staff interactions that left customers uncomfortable, so the experience can vary based on who's on shift. For Moreno Valley cart shoppers or anyone hunting Big Chief or live resin product specifically, Empire Gardens is one of the more reliable stops. The 16-hour daily window from 6 AM to 10 PM also makes it convenient for early-shift or late-night visits. Solid niche pick with room to improve on the customer service consistency.

Customer Reviews
At first, Empire’s products weren’t hitting the mark for me. I tried some of the top brands, but they just weren’t giving me the recreational experience I was looking for. I was struggling with deeper depersonalization and derealization, and my usual setups weren’t working—my 18 mm concentrate bucket kept breaking, making things frustrating. What I love about Empire now is their pre-rolls. I can pick them up at a reasonable price, comparable to concentrates I was paying for at other restoration-focused places, but without the hassle. Being local makes it easy to grab a hybrid or sativa and actually feel the effects, all while maintaining a balanced THC level. Empire has become a reliable option for me—providing quality products, a smooth experience, and the kind of consistency that helps me reconnect with myself and enjoy my cannabis use safely.
Love this place! Always has a nice selection of Big Chief carts. They also now have Big Chief all in one pods & sticks. As well as Live Resin pods & carts. They hooked me up with some stickers & lanyards, TY again, definitely will be back when im in the area.
11-21-25 who ever the young lady claiming to be manager with a lot of piercings in face . Made me feel so uncomfortable. Definitely needs to learn customer service. They lost a real customer.
Their ATM has issues be very careful
So I bought a straight shooter piece.. when I lit it.. it popped and broke in My face.. went to get it replaced… and for. $3 piece they could not help me.. mind you I bought a $15 dollar piece.. the point is not about the price it’s about the service… they just lost a long time customer.. gonna explore near by dispensary.. probably got better deals and better supplies
