Customer Reviews

Victoria Alt

Best deals in the city, but their staff are condescending and made me feel like I was trying to game the system when I misunderstood caregiver procedures. "We live and we learn." Sure do. I learned that your staff are misogynistic jerks who talk down to people. Sir, you couldn't have known this, but the same way you made me feel that day is how I was made to feel in childhood. Ironic that the place I go for cPTSD help actually triggered me. And I'm still spiraling about it weeks later! Thanks for explaining things nicely to my partner instead of treating me with dignity. I'm never going back. I don't care about the savings. You suck and I hope people don't treat you that way when you don't understand something or make a mistake. Shame on you.

Alvin Wu

I had an amazing experience at this dispensary, and I have to specifically shout out T. From the moment I walked in, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, explained the differences between products clearly, and made thoughtful recommendations without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. What really stood out was how patient and detail-oriented he was. He answered all my questions thoroughly and made sure I felt confident in my purchase. It’s rare to find someone who combines product knowledge with such great customer service. Management should know you have a real asset on your team. T represents the brand extremely well, and because of him, I’ll definitely be coming back.

1308 W North Ave location is wonderful! I am always greeted with a smile and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly suggest getting a medical MMJ card through Leafwell. New and current clients get good deals. Medical card holders receive 5% back on purchases and it adds up, trust me! The money you will save on taxes is insane! You'll never look back once you do it! I told them that the vibe I get every time I walk in is cool and relaxing. Enjoy!

Ninah Randolph

I always have a great experience here. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I feel like I'm getting more of an experience than a transaction. One of the budtenders spent like 10min with me on how to use concentrates which I hadn't used before. He mentioned he wants to start teaching classes at the shop once a week and let me tell you, Ima sit in the front row when they start. I appreciate how much everyone there seems to actually care about their work.

Desiree Langdon

Clean, easy and responsive staff at check in and what great vibes the staff is an absolute blast! Would definitely come back again especially because the deals are 10/10! The employee T was exceptionally helpful. The music choices are 10/10 as well
