Bear Dance Hemp Company
About Bear Dance Hemp Company
A small boutique on Salem Avenue SW in Roanoke, this hemp shop pulls double duty as a cafe and community spot, which sets it apart from typical Virginia cannabis retailers. The 4.8-star average across 124 reviews comes from a mix of regulars who treat it as a road-trip staple and locals who drop in for grilled cheese, smoothies, and local soap as much as hemp products. Owners Chris and Sarah personally walk visitors through the catalog. Reviewers describe leaving with a clear understanding of how to use each product and what to expect, rather than the rushed transactions common at larger shops. Local sourcing is a real thing here. Shoppers point to the wide range of regional products on the shelves, and a plant exchange out front lets neighbors swap cuttings during visits. The atmosphere reads more general store and cafe than headshop, which makes it inviting for shoppers new to hemp and CBD products.

Customer Reviews
Nice people. If you are a marijuana tourist, Virginia is probably not for you, yet. The legal THC levels are low. Having said that, once I got it home and tried it, it was very nice. The product gave me a pleasant buzz; as they said it would.
Small boutique shop with Large amount of knowledge. Chris and Sarah are incredibly knowledgeable about all products that they offer and they only sell products that they stand behind. You will leave feeling confident that you are buying a quality product and you will also leave with an understanding of how you use each product and what to expect. If you are new to CBD and hemp related products or experienced, I would highly recommend stopping into Bear Dance Hemp Company.
Friendly owners, adorable shop and cafe. Love that they carry so many local products! I stopped by today for a grilled cheese and purchased a bar of local soap as well. I enjoyed their plant exchange out front of their shop and swapped out some of my plant babies for a new one. I look forward to returning to try one of their smoothies or other drinks.
My mom was recently diagnosed with cancer. She has her medical MJ card, but as an RN, I know they upcharge a TON, and your run of the mill vape shops are usually ran by teens who aren’t knowledgeable in CBD/THC. So, coming to Bear Dance was super refreshing. You’ve heard of a Sommelier of wine, but have you heard of a Ganjier for cannabis? These owners legit know their craft, and they raise the bar high for the standard of excellence in the cannabis industry. They took the time to explain everything to my mom to make sure she would get exactly what she needed. They even gave me samples of CBD to take to my fiancé for his nausea and he said it’s the only CBD that’s helped him. Definitely check them out, y’all!! You won’t be disappointed. They also have incredible smoothies and matcha. We can’t wait to back!
This spot if starting to become a road trip staple of ours. Really good smoothies with fun interesting themes. You would never guess that it’s a smoothie place from the outside, but don’t let the appearance fool you, it’s much better than any of the smoothie chains in the area.
