Customer Reviews
I was introduced to this dispensary from College Town. It is a good addition to the already interactive environment around. I have come here 3 times now and each time its been a pleasant experience and very good customer service. I enjoy their florist farm pens which lasted me a while. I also find that their pre rolls are a good option especially if you dont want to spend much, 10$ is not bad at all!! Definitely look forward to using them more😊🙌🏾
Happy Goat at Eastview Mall was a fun and unique experience overall. The baby goats were extremely friendly, energetic, and clearly comfortable around people. Interacting with them was genuinely enjoyable and made for a nice break while visiting the mall. That said, there were some downsides that took away from the experience. After the visit, I ended up with rashes on my legs from the goats rubbing against me, and my hands felt pretty gross afterward. I can’t say for sure whether the goats weren’t clean or if it’s just part of the experience, but it did make me uneasy—especially after having to sign a lengthy waiver that already put health risks top of mind. I was also told I would be guided by an employee, but once inside, there really wasn’t much instruction. We were handed a small amount of food and told to feed the goats, and that was about it. A little more supervision or guidance would have helped, especially for first-timers who may not know what to expect. Overall, it was a nice time and the goats were adorable, but the lack of guidance and lingering concerns about hygiene and safety held it back from being a fully comfortable experience.
Always friendly and no pressure!!! Love the selection and the brightness of the space! Plenty of parking between thr neighboring businesses! If you passed it park at dollar tree!!! Don't forget to get your change before you leave!
First experience with happy goat and the staff is lovely! Very helpful with high quality product. Highly recommend 🤙🏻
Just stopped by happy goat for the first time and really enjoyed my experience. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I told them what I wanted and they were able to get me something within my preferences. Jenna (name twin) was very helpful and knowledgeable about their products will be back!
