Customer Reviews

Jared Starns

Zen Leaf, as a national Cannabis company, has the potential to be the Costco of Dispensaries because of the people they bring on board. From the budtenders to higher-up management, your needs as a medical patient or recreational user will be met. Recently, I had an accident in which a miscommunication by someone in management was made, and it was swiftly corrected and resolved, with both myself feeling confident in returning as a medical patient and where Zen Leaf can continue to be a company that admits and owns up to its mistakes, unlike many dispensaries that put little to no care into their staff and brands they bring on. I look forward to continuing to shop at Zen Leaf, and I’m grateful for both the director of customer support and the general manager, Joe, who’ve shown exceptional senior leadership skills that will be seen in executive roles in the near future. Their knowledge of people, plants, medicine, and humility will take them places.

Kevin was awesome and very helpful. He just seemed so happy to greet me and take care of me at the counter. I asked for some recommendations and he helped me out a lot. Was so nice to talk to, he made the experience top notch.

My server Kevin was very knowledgeable and attentive... I shared a story about how helpful the Bits CBG Gummies were for my mother's recovery from a Stroke that caused a Brain Injury... His insights were very helpful, and I understood things in a new way after the discussion. This Pilsen dispensary establishment is my favorite in the City.

Amanda was very kind and extremely helpful. She provided assistance to this elderly lady before I requested it. She was very intuitive and anticipated my needs prior to me asking and I appreciated that.

Even though the cameras were down during my visit, Alyssa at 🍃 ZenLeaf Pilsen went above and beyond to provide excellent service. She kept me updated the whole time and even reached out to let me know once the cameras were back up and running. Her professionalism, clear communication, and positive attitude made all the difference. Truly outstanding customer service!
