On South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, Ascend Cannabis Co holds a 4.2 rating across 247 reviews, with sentiment more split than most dispensaries on this list. Some customers report friendly, helpful budtenders and reasonable pricing on wax and other products.

Prices are Ridiculous & they Bearly have a selection. I live in the Mountains 3 hrs away and this Shop is More Expensive then the Mountain Towns. Would NEVER shop here again. Unless I Wanna get robbed.

Jaxon Rynder

spent over 30 minutes waiting in the lobby while the line continued to grow, despite three employees being on the floor. During that entire time, there was little to no urgency to move the line or help waiting customers. At one point a customer was unable to complete payment, and instead of redirecting or assisting the next person, all three employees allowed the line to stall while they stood around. From a customer’s perspective, it looked like no one was taking ownership of the situation. This should have been a quick 5-minute visit, yet it turned into a frustrating and unnecessary delay because staff appeared disengaged and unmotivated to help customers efficiently. I also overheard what sounded like inconsistent pricing being discussed, which raised concerns about accuracy and transparency. When I was finally helped, the professionalism did not improve. One female employee was noticeably rude in her tone and demeanor. One employee with face tattoos seemed unsure of basic processes and unable to answer simple questions. Another employee a balding red-haired man with a scraggly beard appeared disengaged and offered no urgency or assistance. The overall impression was a team with no direction, no accountability, and no respect for customers’ time. This does not feel like a one-off bad day. it felt like a management and training issue.

Went here first time the day before new year's eve. Wasn't overly crowded or much of a wait. Just got a gram of wax which pretty good and reasonably priced. The lady who helped me was great, helped me choose, really friendly, and Great up beat, she was really great, which by itself is nice.

I’ve been to probably 20ish dispensaries in Denver & was trying Ascend while in Littleton. I was in the middle of sending a timely email for work via my phone, and the front desk associate refused to serve me unless I specifically put my phone away. I told/showed them what I was doing (Outlook) & they refused, reminding me again to put it away. I understand that this is a store by store policy (it helps avoid someone buying for a minor is the logic), but I’ve never once seen this enforced (or mentioned so directly) at another dispensary. Everyone has phones. It’s 2025. I'm sending an EMAIL. There is really no need to be testy about it, though it was after opening in the AM... so I'll give them some grace. I was speaking with Violet. I’m a customer trying to shop & needing to send a work email. I left the store immediately & took my business elsewhere. I'm sure a few stores here & there do this, but I can’t see a good scenario why a dispensary would actively chose to adopt this policy/enforce it in this fashion.. You’re choosing being uptight & combative with potential customers, when it’s not even legally required. Please do better or be more understanding/leniant, one of the two

I got some dang Christmas trees in here today, I'm talking BIG buds, fluffy, tasty. Clearly a healthy and well cured plant. Not a bad price either, I've certainly payed more for less.
