Customer Reviews

Hizircan Cakiroglu

I’ve been a regular customer at this dispensary for a long time, but this purchase was a huge disappointment. The product shown on the website is completely different from what I actually received. What arrived was dry, low-quality, and had almost no aroma or effect — nothing like the product advertised online. I understand that photos can be “representative,” but this goes far beyond a normal batch difference. It feels like an entirely different product was sold. This kind of mismatch seriously damages trust, especially for returning customers. Quality control and transparency clearly need improvement. After this experience, I’m not confident about shopping here again.

Once you step inside, you’re instantly wrapped in the kind of warmth that makes you forget the outside world even exists. If you’re lucky, you’ll be greeted by Melissa—who is quite literally more bubbly than champagne. Her energy doesn’t just brighten the room, it puts a pep in your step you didn’t even know you needed. She’s one of those people who makes the whole experience feel special. I also had the pleasure of having my order taken by Dez (sorry if I butchered the spelling!). She was lightning-fast with the whole process—efficient in the best way—and genuinely kind from start to finish. The combination of Melissa’s sparkle and Dez’s smooth efficiency made my visit above and beyond what I expected. If you’re considering stopping by, do it. The service alone is worth the trip. ✨

To say it’s the BEST dispensary I’ve been to is still an understatement! I had the most phenomenal experience being taken care of by Cody & Yary; they went above & beyond to educate me on all the magic cannabis embodies. They helped me answer questions I didn’t even know I had & were able to curate what kind of product best suited me. Alongside the service, the space itself is beautiful & adds an extra touch of welcoming energy, I could have sat here all day talking cannabis if I had the time! Can’t wait to go back!

Awesome experience at Nirvana! The staffs were super friendly and knowledgeable shout out to Arturo who helped us find exactly what we needed. Great selection and prices too. Will definitely be back!

I came in to this store as it was close by to where I was staying while visiting. I was immediately impressed by how clean and spacious the place is. Everyone was very welcoming. We were helped by Arturo who gave us recommendations. Arturo does an exceptional job of explaining each product. He is also very friendly and nice. Overall, we had a great experience. They had a labor day sale going so we were able to save as well. Definitely recommend this place.
