Great location right off freeway. Open 7 days a week! Huge/Awesome variety of everything from edibles, flower & concentrates. And they have a free VIP membership that lets you know about specials/sales/deals & 10% off!!! Everybody is so nice, friendly & helpful! My fave place to shop =-) !!!
NEVER AGAIN I FELT RUSHED. I STOOD IN LINE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. IT WASN’T A VERY NICE EXPERIENCE.
Was unhappy with the service. Did not know they were doing. Will not revisit.
This location never steered me wrong. I always go here to get all my cannabis goods and I’ve always had a great experience here.
I have been shopping at Greenside for several months now. After reading several reviews, I wanted to give one also. This is a good shop and as a newer business in a newer market they are still in the process or growing and adapting. Security at the front door is always kind and friendly. I know they have a job to do especially in that specific location so I don’t mind pulling and showing ID. In the back is a series stalls and a huge staff to help what I have seen as a VERY busy place. it does tend to be really loud in there, perhaps some acoustic tiling and or rugs would help. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They listen to what you’re looking for or need and make good recommendations. I’ve been sticker shocked a few times but have either found something less expensive to suit my needs or they have explained it well enough for me to make the purchase. Because it is so busy at times I have felt rushed but I don’t feel it was by the person helping me. I wish the selection/display was the same at each station. It’s a fine line tor walk… too much product or not enough. I’d like to see them come up with a more clean, less cluttered display that is the same no matter which stall you’re at. But that’s just my opinion! They carry so many different strains and brands- my favorite strain is often out and different stains can be less money elsewhere but of a different brand so it’s hard to know if its a good deal or not. They do take credit cards but with a $3 fee. With that said, I do recommend Greenside. They are a good shop.
I love greenside! been there once again, and once again. Amazing service. Do these guys go to school to learn this stuff? Got great information about most of the product I had questions about, they can’t smoke it all right? Great selection, tons of strains I haven’t seen other places carry. great experience everytime!
Very pricey. Budtenders are very aggressive. I don’t like this store.
A few things make this place awesome, starting with the staff. They’re just as knowledgable as they are kind, and they always seem to genuinely care about what I’m looking for instead of just making me feel like I’m shoved out the door. The selection is constantly changing but they also keep an amazing variety of strains as well as concentrates and edibles. I will definitely be returning.
Love this place. I’ve been coming here since they first opened almost 2 years ago. Prices are reasonable for their location, and everyone on the staff is friendly and always very helpful. It can be really busy in the evenings, but that is expected due to everyone getting off work. They always have a great selection of strains and lots of different options for trying new ways to enjoy marijuana.
Love Greenside and their staff is really cool. Place could use a face lift but other than that I love coming here! Always a big selection. The cashier Dave always is really friendly and persistent when I get checked out.
I went here for the first time today. parking was easy enough. Love that the weed is in the back in a really chill atmosphere. it was very clean and welcoming. My wait in line was short and the staff member that helped me was very fast and knowledgeable about different strains to try for my depression. I will be going back.
This place had one great thing: accepting cards. They no longer accept cards of any kind; so why put up with a bad parking lot, lack-luster service, and pricey bud?
everything was perfect about this place. my problem that I need to tell the word is that not all weed is good weed. I bought some bammer here. they said it was their strongest strain of sativa. it was so bad. smoked two blunts still didn’t get high. the girl behind the counter told me I wouldn’t be upset. she was wrong. 1 gram of Dutch queen for $24. rip off for bammer weed. smh
Great service, selection, and friendly staff to help you with your purchase. Also, the ability to pay with a card is very convenient (small $3 fee at the time of this review).
Although the store is easy to miss when driving by, the signage is good, and there is plenty of parking in the gravel lot just past the store.
When walking in, it is not clear that there is an ID check right by the door. A sign there would be a nice addition.
EPIC FAIL!!- Well I Thought This Was A Good Shop To Buy Weed, And I Suppose It Could Be If There Were No Other Choices, But Fortunately For Us, The Bud Consuming Public, There Are Other Choices. Most Of The Gram Sakks Here Are On The Average $5 Too High..That’s Just $5 More Bucks Going Into The Owners’ Pockets..I Noticed That They Would Carry A Decent Strain Of Weed For A Little While, Then Switch It Up With Some Dog Sh*T..(They Actually Had A Strain Called “Dog Sh*t”..LOL !, Prob Goes Good With “Cat Piss”)- Anyway.. .. When You Can’t Get High On Their ‘Mediocre At Best’ Weed, Then The “Bud Tenders” (Oh They Must Think They Are Certified “Bartenders), Hence The Obvious In Your Face “TIP JARS” !!–YEP YOU HEARD RIGHT….TIP JARS!! Strategically Placed And Just Overflowing With Bills ( Of Course Also Strategically Placed) Will Tell You To Spend Some More Money On Extracts And Oils And Pre-Rolls And Etc., Etc., Etc., Well You Get The Message.. $$$ Is The King And They Will Take What You Will Give Them…I Mean Who Is Actually Selling Grams Of Leaf For Over $20 These Days? Greenside Is YAY!! ….AUTO CORRECT=NAY!!—-EPIC FAIL!!
This place is legit! The staff is informed, friendly and super helpful. Xavier is my fave! He always in a great mood and knows which buds are the stoniest! Sometimes the line gets long but it’s totally worth the wait. My Mom drives up from Olympia to go to Greenside because it’s so great and mom know best!!!
I went on opening day. Great selection at the start. Went on December 27 and the selection, prices, and accesories are great. Employees are very friendly and customer service oriented. This place sets the gold standard on how to run a legal weed shop. Good job to everyone. Thank you!
I have shopped here many times. Me and my wife used to stop in a couple times a week. Mostly extracts, sometimes a couple 1 gram baggies to go along with it. Even after many times coming here the security guards still ask us to take our ID’s out of their holders, where they are held up to the light and scrutinized. There are several different guards, all with nicknames on their security badges. If I can recall correctly, I believe there is Mr. Klean- of course he’s a bald guy–then there is The Knuckler..Yikes, that sounds pretty scary, I hope he doesn’t carry around rubber gloves and K-Y in his back pocket. I think another is : Inmate # 934520566…..Just kidding, but just sayin’….The parking lot outside is a big unsupervised gravel lot. We have been approached a few times by the local unsavory characters needing a donation to their favorite academic institution_ or a Four-O of the highest decibel malt beverage known to mankind. So you may want to bring your shank, cause just like Axl says..This is the jungle baby, and you’re gonna die!!
What a terrific experience! Amazing selection, knowledgeable staff, laid back environment, QUALITY buds… what’s not to love? A dream come true.
this place is so badass! I love all the employees here. they have amazing customer service and knowledge of their products which is great for someone like me who doesn’t know very much about all this stuff. overall this place is really awesome possume. 🙂
Stopped by here the other day for a quick pickup. The bud tender got the strain I asked for along with 3 more preferences. Variance of choices and I will definitely stop by here again
Over priced. Double check your online orders. Staff is helpfull.
Great selection. Experienced staff who are very knowledgeable and are able to help you get exactly what you are looking for.
Awesome shop, awesome people working there. Staff is knowledgeable and fast moving even when it’s crowded. Oh and skip the line by ordering online.
Been there 3 times. I’m new to this environment and staff was very helpful. They made me feel like any question was OK. Frankie in particular did a great job. I will be back.
After a couple failed attempts (not Greensides fault), I finally made it Into my very first legal pot shop.
I understand the security and don’t blame them considering the consequences.
There was a line but not too bad. I was greeted like a long-lost friend and there was zero pressure.
I explained I hadn’t hardly bought pot since the ’70’s
and hadn’t a clue what I wanted. By this time the shop
was getting pretty busy and I told my new “personal shopper” to go help those behind me so I could browse. A few minutes later, he was back, showing options and explaining differences. I made a comment that I usually smoked gifts of shake and soon learned I
could actually buy shake! Cool! Bought some + a
Chocolate bar and I was set. Best shake I’ve ever had! 😉
Must admit, the parking needs brighter lighting.
Guess I’ll come by in the daylight.
First off they do have a good selection and the bud they’re selling is pretty good quality from what I saw the two times I’ve been there. The people were very friendly and I really don’t mind taking my ID out of my wallet. The only problem that I have with this shop is you can’t just walk around looking at the products you have to wait in line until it’s your turn then you can talk to a bud tender who will tell and show you what they have for me this is annoying because alot of times I don’t know what I’m going to get until I see it so I feel like I’m missing out on something I’m not seeing. Still it’s a pretty nice place I’m sure I’ll be back when I’m in the area.
Competitive prices, great selection, plenty of knowledgeable sales people, what more could you want? I have never had other than a top notch experience here. While everyone I’ve dealt with has been terrific, Evan B. deserves special mention: friendly, funny guy who knows his bud, oils and probably every other way to move the THC from the plant to your mind.

I think this is a great shop. It is so convenient for me on the way home from work. The glass room is full of awesome glass at a really good price. They have them separated as two shops which is really cool. The staff are all very helpful, always seem happy to be there. They are all so nice I go out of the way to just come to this shop on my days off. I’ve never had a bad recommendation either which is how I go about it because there are so many different kinds. I like putting it in there hands. Overall, this shop rocks!
Greenside is an amazing location with a large variety of products every time I stop by. They are conveniently located near the airport, and have the ability to take card unlike most stores in the area.
Greenside is one of the best rec shops I’ve Been to. love their layout and their workers are amazing, friendly and helpful and they got some fire!!!
this is a great, convenient location for all people especially travelers just getting off the plane, they have a wide variety of flower, edibles, concentrates, tropicals and more. the staff here is super friendly and knowledgeable on a lot of the product and I love getting
their recommendations. they never disappoint!
We were pleasantly surprised to find Greenside packed, on the day before Mother’s Day. There are going to be many happy Mommas, not including our Bud Tender who said he wasn’t a Mother even though the guys up front said he was.
Great selections. Friendly staff.
I loved my experience at greenside the staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the flower is always on point. Best shop I’ve been to in WA!
Love the service and the people here – really friendly and they start to remember your name when you come in enough. Wish the selection was a little bit bigger with more options and deals but I can’t complain. Great place!
Location is great David was a great help.
Went there last nite! 1st visit!! great place.. Employees were awsome and prices r good I will b back!!dY~S
Every time I go here, it’s ridiculously busy. Expensive flower, long lines and not a lot of good service.
Great experience. Friendly staff, great selection. Close to the airport!
great customer service and very knowledgeable staff …..
This one is close to home and I have still yet to find a place with a better selection and as knowledgeable of a staff. Gets a little loud in there but it is alot more lively than most places. They always have a deal going on too. Once again, like other places, they carry Fireline, overpriced product. They carry Top Shelf, Cannaman, Artizen, Origin, Noble, Avitas, Pioneer and Hypothesis Gardens, these products are way more worth the price.
I’ve been going here for a long time and they have a huge selection of stuff you can’t walk out unhappy..
easy to get to..in and out!!!
Garbage place over priced
This place is a giant candy place for adults! So much variety and very knowledgeable staff. Sometimes the lines are long but it’s worth the wait. Everyone is very helpful and friendly.
Ok! After reading ALL of the reviews about Greenside, I’ll give a review that wasn’t done by a “5* rated employee” or an overzealous customer expecting to have an experience equivalent to Disneyland. Now, let’s start with the security. I honestly have no issue with it, I understand the world we all live in and I’d do the same, if not more, if I ran a store filled with nothing but weed. Every time I’ve been there, they’ve all been pretty cool with me. Some guys try to act tough, but it’s kind of their job you know. The front end of the store looks like any typical smoke shop, glassware, accessories etc… The back end is the actual dispensary, about 4 display stalls/kiosks and an employee per blah blah blah…For the most part everyone is generally nice but, like any job there are workers that are very knowledgeable and some that aren’t. I’ve never really encountered anyone being rude but I have felt rushed a couple times but never treated with any disrespect. In all honesty I’m not here for them, I’m here to buy something…And I’m an adult that knows how to shop on my own. As for prices, the first few months they had really great deals and lots of selection. But obviously, when businesses grow they run into that whole “supply and demand” dilemma. And learn lessons when they sell “fat” 2g for $15 and some customer(s) comes in and buy large quantities in one instant and nearly wipe out the stock lol. Recently I’ve seen the prices go up a little, but the product is still good. And look at it this way, you/we are paying for convenience. Instead of having to call and or wait on your “guy”, there is a place that provides it nearly 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. And as with most new businesses they need time to grow, these new laws were just recently passed, this shop is still less than a year old, and they will make some mistakes along the way. I think with some time it can and will “grow” into something bigger and better. I still have a few #s in emergency situations, but I do like, and prefer to be able to shop at an actual store that I can see what I’m buying before I buy it.
Some budtender are nice and knowledgable, but I don’t appreciate the inconsistency with pricing and availability of products. I can’t seem to get a consistent price ESP for pre rolls. I would only come here for last resort. If pricing is not consistent for products, it’s hard for me to want to come to this dispensary.
Excellent shop!
Very quality and the bud tenders ask what I am looking for and exceed my expectations every time. Thank you for representing Washington State so professionally!!
So this is the only shop I’ve been to but I love these guys and gals, very friendly, and they know their stuff
What a selection! The place has some the top strains. Edibles and concentrates of all types. I got the Strawberry Cough and it is incredible. The smell when I opened the package was incredibly sweet with a earthy soil hint. The high was mind blowing! No wonder this strain was a cup winner.dY~Z
convenient, easy in and out, great selection. Service was good. Prices are in the high side but not the worst I’ve seen
I’ve been to this place twice now and both times the staff was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Namely one of them turned me on to silicone pipes and I have to tell you Tristan was right. Then when I came back the manager couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back.
I honestly felt like the experience could have been better especially it being my first time at this shop. I tried asking questions, when I did ask the clerk who was helping me a question about a strain I was looking for by a company I actually really enjoyed he gave me a one word answer “no” and then proceeded to turn around and ask his co worker “hey what was the company you grew for, for a while the bad company?” After he was clearly trying to make a point that what I was asking for, was clearly not within his realms of quality and proceeded to just push me along to get me out quick. I wasn’t happy with this help that I had recoveries and the way the budtender had acted towards me.
Was surprised another weed store had finally opened closer to home. I stopped by during my lunch break and was met by a courteous and helpful staff. Compared with my only other experience at a recreational pot store, the supply and variety was much larger and the pricing was lower. I am happy stores like this exist, and I’ll be back.
Love this location! Love their new menu’s they just got in! Thanks for being the best shop in the area!
OK location.
I have been shopping at Greenside since February 1st. Once a week customer. Always greeted with a smile. HUGE staff always on duty. Extremely large selection. Might be the only downside actually. Almost too many choices to explore at once. Great parking. Great hours. Open very late even on Sundays. Defiantly already have and will continue recommending Greenside. I even brought my brother from California to explore the shop. He loved it
Their customer service is amazing, they completely helped me realized what it was that I was looking at.The wait is always worth it everytime, thank you greenside.
My favorite cannabis retailer in the greater Seattle area! They always have the brands I prefer in stock, but keep an outstanding selection so there’s always something new to try out. The staff goes above and beyond in customer service. If you want quality weed at a great price, Greenside is the place to go.
Greeted by friendly and knowledgable staff! Great selection of various different strains! I’m someone who is use to medical dispensary prices but find that the prices here are fair! I highly recommend this dispensary to all!
Loved this store, I’ll definitely be coming back. The staff was very nice and helpful and they had a great selection for me to choose from. Loving the Dutchberry!!
I have been shopping at this location for awhile now. It is always well stocked. The service is excellent. The staff is knowledgeable and seems to be up to date on all the newest strains. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a regular supply of good quality bud. The only thing i can say i was not impressed with is the building it lends a shabby kind of atmosphere to the shopping experience but that is easily overlooked by the friendliness of the staff and customers.
I’ve been going to Greenside several months now. It’s become my fav place. The ppl here ROCK hands down. They make my shopping easy and quick. They taught me about dabbing with an atomizer. They know what they’re talking about and are happy to take the time with you.
Their stock never fails me. They’ve always got something I need. Or they have something better! You just can’t go wrong here 🙂
Alright, here’s my review on the 6th recreational shop I’ve visited in the Seattle Area. (Uncle Ike’s, BelMar, Dockside, Rain City, and Ocean Greens)
Definitely the best experience I’ve had so far, service wise! Doorman/security was very polite (always a good start), and I was moved over to one of maybe 5 stations set up. They had most of their products available in a glass case in front of you with specials/concentrates on a screen behind them.
The budtender was knowledgeable, friendly, and very cute as well :). I asked for recommendations on an indica and a hybrid and she was able to help me find a couple grams in my price range. Honestly the attitudes of everyone in there made the experience that much better. Everyone was upbeat, smiling, and there were good vibes all around.
Just 2 small suggestions – fill some of the potholes in your parking lot and have a more updated menu. Other then that, great place!
Always a good visit here. Awesome budtenders and a rotating variety of weed that is by far the best in the state.
Paige is awesome! she needs a raise.
only positive is the guy helping me was super nice but its super EXPENSIVE, long lines, and seriously..they dont let u touch it at ALL. i can understand maybe not handling it but i just turned the package over to read the thc% and the guy said no touching at all!
I’ve been in here a few times, visiting other places in between, and I have to say this store has it all. Great service and knowledge of the products they’re selling. Plus, they seem to go through a huge selection that’s always changing along with some consistent varieties as well. It is always busy in there but they get things done. It’s fun watching this whole industry expand and I appreciate watching the professionalism of places like this for being so new. I’ve spoken with the top manager, marketing and retail floor manager and saw why the place operates in the way it does, everyone from them to the sign guy seem very involved with continued growth. This store and a couple of others, which will be reviewed, I’ve been to will make the cannabis market work. Things they can improve on would be the sound in the pot room, website and lighting.
I tried a different shop while in Tacoma the other day, never again. Greenside is my favorite. They always have great deals and suit any budget. I love buying my weed from the people who smoke it before they buy it. One of the Best stores in the state!!!
Always busy great parking right next door. Friendly bud tenders a very stess free shopping experience.
I’m visiting from California and I love how clean the store looks and I was welcome nicely and has I walked into a bud room went in line and was standing in front of the case and asked what was good to smoke because I haven’t smoke in a while they recommend so many good strains and I left the store happy I’ll come to this store again they have good selections for people who are training and local. Thanks
Big time store with big time selection. Staff is friendly, and doesn’t seem to rush you despite the long line. Atmosphere could use work.
i like the location because its close to work and i don’t even mind the wait which there is almost always one here. the staff still are cool and helpful with all my needs even in the glass room. i love the selection that is always changing so always stay open to new things here!
The door man was extremely rude to the point of antagonistic when asking for ID. Black man with tattoos on his face and hands. When asked for his name he wouldn’t give it to me.
Good spot, it gets busy though.
Good service very knowledgeable people. great recommendations.
First of all, their menu is never accurate. Anytime I have gone there to get something on their menu 4 out of 5 things they say are gone. Their excuse is it “sells fast”. Yeah, ok. Other stores do not have the problem to the degree this place does and it points to them just not properly updating and claiming to have this or that in stock just to get you in. Be forewarned, their menu is never correct (always MUCH less than they show for strains).
The other thing that is ridiculous is the ID thing. Sure I get it, but the guy at the door needing me to “take it out” of my wallet and look at it with the mag to make sure it isn’t fake is ridiculous. I am over 50 years old and it is very evident I am over 21. The ID checking they use is just over the top and annoying to the customer.
then you get into the buying method. A long line where you cannot even approach the items to read them through the glass or anything and must wait to pretty much have your number called. Very stupid system compared to all the other stores I’ve gone to.
My last experience was my final one. Too many other good stores to put up with this.
I love this location. They have a large parking lot with free parking. The staff is super-friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend stopping in!
This location is on a busy street about 7 mins south from the airport which made it easy to drop in while I was on layover to see my sister in Alaska! great service!
This is an awesome location and I love the people here! They always have so many different strains available which I like trying new products which is good they give everyone a chance and not just have selected brands. I really Marni she is awesome and has great customer service!
Pretty sure one if the managers is named Danny.
Very knowledgeable, friendly, and for me the best part is he is a FISHERMEN! Nothing like bs’ing about good tokes and talking fishing. I’ll be back just to shoot the sh!t with him! But of course he’ll have something new that will melt my face off that I’ll end up going home with! Anything grown by fireline for instance…cherry pie or alien rock candy has been unbelievable.
Was not really happy with my visits. stopped by it was crowded and busy but the service was not good. unhappy 🙁
Best retail shop I’ve been to yet! So friendly, so knowledgeable, great people and quality bud. Keep it up guys!
Excellent service, helpful, respectful bud tenders. Very informative of their strands. I go several times a day. Positive uplifting atmosphere makes you feel happy to be a weed smoker. The grass is definitely greener at Greenside Recreational.
This location rocks. David is super knowledgable and helps me find the weed of which I am in need. Really knows his strains and is professional AF.
This was the first recreational shop that I ever visited so I do have a soft spot in my heart for it. The parking is ample and the security guys are always welcoming and warm. The first room of the location contains their glass pipes, bongs and accessories selection with the back room designated for cannabis products. Their budtenders are knowledgeable and helpful and I appreciate the individual stations. Selection is great but the prices are on the higher side.
this is by far the friendliest recreational shop I’ve been to. also they are always fresh with new product and the staff is very knowledgeable about the weed and the effects. i love going there.
Real great just got some pre rolled joints that got me on a good level
The prices are a bit up here and there but considering the legal ramifications, I can’t say I am disappointed. Afterall, they are the closest shop and the only means to the strain i enjoy.
I love Greenside and everyone that works there is great and super friendly! It’s a busy place but they move things along fairly quickly unless they’re helping someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing, like the people who complain about the price. I’m more than happy to pay for high quality weed, especially since I know exactly what I’m buying, who grew it, and where it was grown versus that schwag you buy on the streets but I guess not everyone is about quality. They have a great variety at all prices. Greenside is the spot!
I loved going here because it was easily accessible after work. Their policies about identification are ridiculous and very restrictive. I’ve never been denied for using my drivers license that has an expiration date of military before when I’ve visited this location on several other occasions until I was denied tonight. It’s very upsetting to be denied out of nowhere when I’ve been coming to this location for months. They lost my business based on their policies that they only pick and choose to enforce.
I just had a great experience here, I was short a couple bucks and the manager, I think his name was Josh, gave me a couple bucks to buy my gram for the day. thanks guys keep up the good work and the positive vibes!! KKB!
Drove here specifically to make a large purchase with my credit card. I get everything I need then they tell me when I’m cashing out that they are having issues and cannot accept a card. Why don’t you tell people first? Are you afraid people will go somewhere else? He said there is an ATM, no sh#$. I’m not cash advancing a card to pay high prices on crap product.
the location of this joint is just awesome!!! great selection of just about anything you could want that has bud in it! cookies and snacks! drinks and joints! blunts and buds! good place for a first timers!
I felt like I was walking through airport security, very uncomfortable atmosphere. selection was decent although the bud tenders seamed a bit absent-minded. personally I’d skip this place and drive further just for better service.
Nice shop, cool selection.. a lil over priced but good quality. would go if you live in the area.
Des Moines is quite a drive for me, coming from Bothell, but I was looking for a specific strain of flower and Greenside was the only place I could find it listed on the menu. After fighting traffic and schlepping thru the pouring rain to get there I was very pleasantly surprised – the place is REALLY clean, nicely organized and efficiently run. All the flowers are already bagged in grams, eighths, quarters, etc., so it’s easy and quick to get exactly as much as desired. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable – even with the long drive I will definitely be back. Thanks!
Great shop and so conveniently located for travelers! I hit this shop as soon as I land at SeaTac due to its great location (10-15 minutes away) and fantastic selection. See you guys again on the 22nd!
Greenside is a great place to get weed! From the security at te door, to the register in the back I was met with only smiles! Great weed, great people!
The guy who sells the glass Triston was awesome. He was packing up and I told him I was just looking got future reference. He then went out of his way to show me all the different products he had and explain some of the more exotic dab rigs he had. One of them was so awesome and a great price so I couldn’t pass it up. Thanks greenside, and Triston
Great place ! Going back for more ! dYdYdYdY
Awkward store setup but extremely helpful and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visiting again.
nice workers, great selection, good looking women. easy to see why my connect isn’t getting many calls these days.
Huge selection and decent prices. Probably the largest selection out of all the stores I’ve been to. Xavier is the man! He helped me discover some of my now favorite strains, really knowledgeable without being pretentious. They have a frequent buyer club and a front room with a lot of glass and accessories. This place is a one stop stoner shop. My only detracting comment is the parking lot. It’s a little sketchy sometimes with tons of people just hanging out standing around or sitting in their cars. It’s like this every time I go.
Walking in near closing hours the place was pretty busy and the staff was extremely friendly. They were very knowledgeable and helped me find everything I need. The place could be a lit a little better to help look at everything but other than that it was an awesome visit.
Been coming here since they opened. Only recreactional shop between Tacoma and Seattle. Selection is huge now! With a large staff you get plenty of strain recomondations. BECU members if you continue straight instead of turning left on Pacific Hwy use the ATM at the 7 11 just after the light on the right for free withdraws and after smoke refreshments.
triston in the glass room, always hooks it up with the dopest pipes out. check him out at des moines recreational marijuana shop (greenside recreational)
dope ass shop
Good location!
I really like to go to this place, everyone is really nice and friendly and, they always have quality products. The only thing I’d say is that the online menu is not updated. I went today with four different strains in mind that I wanted to buy, but they had none of them, even though they appear in the online menu.
just a friendly comment to see if they consider to update the menu.
Great location! One of my favorites.
Great quality, service and overall just ‘Awesome’
So, I went in here because I tend to leave everything at home, this place was close to my destination. I grabbed a preroll and a cheap pipe.
Nice people, nice interior, nice security. All the important stuff was awesome! Was in and out rather quickly which was awesome.
My only “complaint” if you could even call it that (because seriously is it that big of a deal) Ok rephrase, the only thing that I really noticed that made me go “huh, interesting” was the detached parking lot. Minor detail, no huge deal.
I would definitely come in again!
Everyone was awesome!
Great shop! Overall large selection of buds and accessories. Something for every price range. The bud tenders are friendly and most have some pretty outstanding knowledge. Definitely a chill atmosphere, and consistently provide A+ service! Thanks guys!
Great store! been coming here since the doors opened. Great service all around. Prices are great, selection is out of this world. I would recommend this shop to anyone.
Fresh weed. Great service.
the shop is in a great location not to far from the house, staff members are pretty well too. parking lot needs a fix but the service oversees that little problem.
I absolutely love this store. 2nd time I actually made purchases. The staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgable, fun and upbeat, and very professional. I purchased Sour Diesel and Durban Poison from Cannasol Farms and Blue Bubba from Farmer J’s. The Diesel and the Durban smoked terribly. They were so harsh. Flavor lasted 2 bowl hits and then I had to kick the bowl which means there was no cure process. And there was mold in the sour diesel (I have grown cannabis so I know what mold looks like). Cannasol was very disappointing I was disgusted. I paid a lot of money for garbage. The Blue Bubba however was excellent. It smoked beautifully, it was so fragrant and smooth. My high was perfect. Blue dream is one of my favorite strains and I enjoy Bubba so the two together were fantastic. Farmer J’s I will be purchasing more from you!
I will be back to Greenside to try more of their products and get advice on what farm to not buy from (Cannasol)
I would only shop here because of its convenience to me. I have been in there many times, purchasing 2 or more grams (around $40-45), and I have yet to have a “comfortable” experience.
I’m sure the owner reads these, so if you would like-I could help you out.
Anyway, it’s a decent shop, but the product seems sub par to many stores in the area (south King/all Pierce counties). It is much more preferred to buy larger quantities, as you get better buds in those bags and can save shake for joints at the end-it is a little ritual that I like to create.
This place is the bomb.com
Great ppls and knowledge. I love their variety and they have a price point for everyone.
My go to store, Have had nothing but top notch service from my 2 usual tenders, did get someone new at one visit and very disappointed to find out when I got home both strains were wrong and not happy about that, other than that again top notch, and dab master at the register is a stud
This place has a gigantic selection and a massive parking lot. You can find something for every budget, and the staff is gorgeous!
I was definitely pleased. Super close to my work and the bud was very solid. Yay!
They have so, so many different strains, edibles, and concentrates it makes your head spin. In fact, they have strains that are not even on their web site….
Got helped by the same budtender today (twice), and he was just super slow, showed no motivation in helping me and couldn’t care to smile. Plus he was unable to give me what I was asking him for. Even though they had it stocked and on the shelves behind him. So bummed! This place usually has great quick service with friendly budtenders. Walked away with nothing just to hear the door guy say you should smile more…
Also, they are not consistent in the products they have along with their pricing. Certain days you can get good deals on 8ths ($25) other days the cheapest they have is $45. Tired of this place
The only reason why I added a star was for the budtender manager David that handled my complaint like a pro over the phone.
Rumor says there is a new rec store opening up close to them. This might have them brush up on some basic customer service and sales.
The staff is genuinely friendly and extremely helpful.
Every time I go there the people are very nice and helpful
I loved this place. Such great prices and deals it’s crazy!!!!
This place is literally full of happy people that just wanna get you what you desire. they are all very passionate and know what they are selling! They also greet anyone person that walks through the door like you’ve known them for years. I have never had any issues with any of the products or customer service. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking to get high or just have pain management. Greenside is definitely the place to go when looking for the herb!
looooove it!! got a deal today for 420!
My first time in the shop was on 4.20 and they were giving out grams of Blueberry for $4.20 (naturally). After getting home and looking up the strain I found that it had great reviews and had won a number of awards. Props to the shop for not passing out cheap sh**. This is my ho to shop now and they’ve always treated me right. Great product, great people. Layout of the shop could use some optimization but it gets the job done and the longest I’ve had to wait is about 15min. Parking is a little awkward also.
they have have very knowledgeable staff and don’t mind to take some time to get exactly what you want.
Great customer service love this store
The door man was friendly, the budtender both friendly and knowledgeable, and their selection was superb and varied in price and available strains.
service could be quicker but over all an amazing location will be coming here for all my herbal needs from now on!
Do not purchase concentrate 12th man down. Not purged correctly and is inaccurate in its potency analysis.
This place is dope!! Employees are pretty cool too!
Horrible lane I ever seen.
ID checker always rude and some budtender as well..
Cheap on some buds but that’s it.
FRIENDLY, CLEAN, NOT OVERLY CROWDED, PROFESSIONAL AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO US.
Awesome first time there, security jae was nice and helpful. Advised me of your 10% off my 5th visit when I came in. Store was packed but the line moved pretty fast. Good selection, I’ll be backkkk.
What a terrible experience. This is the worst setup of any shop I have been to yet. There are about 6 glass display cases or “stations” with various types of bud and each station is identical, so you wait in a line and wait to be called to a station. They have other cases in between those cases with other products as well. Down at the end of the counter are the concentrates, etc. and then there is the register with an ATM next to it which seems kind of awkward to me.
I almost just walked up to the counter but I didn’t realize the way their little system worked as it wasn’t very clear to a first time customer such as myself.
I waited in line and was called up by a younger guy with like reddish facial hair and I think a couple piercings in his face or mouth. He didn’t listen to anything I said and didn’t make any sense when he responded to me. The whole time I was looking, I felt pressured because people are in line and this guy is staring at me while I try to choose a strain. The whole time people keep coming up and fist bumping him and saying what’s up to him, which is making the fact that he isn’t paying attention to me even worse.
It feels like they are just trying to shuffle you in and shuffle you out like cattle and it isn’t a nice relaxed environment where you feel comfortable selecting a product of your choosing and browse at your leisure.
A seriously disappointing experience. I just left without even buying anything since I just did not feel comfortable in there, and the Budtender helping me was just awful… I mean he was a total dick. I actually spent more time in the front room looking at the pipes and stuff because no one was in there breathing down my neck while I browsed.
I’ll never return here.
My first time there was really bad.. Some tall dude with five chains nd a beenie Jonathan was his name gave me a sativa instead of a dominate indica. he tried to sell me something i didnt like nd before i purchased it i complained..clerk was more of a relief
Every budtender I’ve ever drawn has been friendly, helpful, and eager. Doesn’t have the greatest prices, but if you study the menu you can almost always find something you like at a good value, no matter how much you want to spend.
great customer service.. they are very knowledgeable
Friendly Staff, nice selection. will go back.
Great recommendations, friendly staff. The only way this place would get better is if you could smoke with them.
My wife and I have been going here since they opened. The budtenders are extremely knowlegable and friendly.
If you want the “Dream Team” of bud experience go on a Sunday morning when David, Dee, and Dominick are working. Together they have more information about strains and desirable effects than any other store.
I have never gotten a bad recommendation from this store. We love Greenside, go check it out!
ED
great service along with product knowledge good pricing.. well recommend favorite spot
its great they need another location or a bigger facility
good service good supply good customer service
Great selection of products, prices could be better. Bought a Legal beverage elsewhere for $16 Greenside priced theirs at $22. I get the impression that Greenside let’s their employees work high. I think this promotes a bad image in many ways.
I have been to quite a few stores this one definitely wasn’t the prettiest but it was setup the best
Great atmosphere! They have a great team bond here! I love coming here it’s near the house.
Such a helpful crew it was my first time purchasing a vape pen and the gentleman named Triston in the front room, he was so patient and thorough with explaining it all and making sure I knew how to use it and had no questions before I left
Ps it works just like u said I love it thank you so much
A bit to industrial for my tastes, but clean.
Staff is very friendly, but the line system they have has to go. Figure out how to do proper stop loss and sell it like any other store.
Worst thing here, and I understand it is common across the WA industry, is the prices. Recreational prices are DOUBLE what medical costs. Blaming the taxes is fine, but then it should be 35% more, not 100%. This customer gouging means that when there is more competition, the customers WILL remember and vote with their pocket-books.
As it is, the cost of getting the medical card is more than covered by this huge markup, so the better route I will be taking until recreational market prices come into the land of the realistic.
I’ve been there three times and its an awesome place to go to, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I really like that they have a really good selection of a bunch of different items like flowers, oil, and edibles. it can get a little crowded at times but I think its because they have good quality stuff.
I love coming here because they staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They always have a great selection of products and I love their rewards program because I get a discount every 10th visit!
I love Greenside, they have great selection, and variety of products. Their staff is friendly and informative as well.
I’ve been coming here since they first opened and I love how the shop is expanding. Great service, online orders are super quick. ATMs available and also you can just get your paper and pipes there as well. I love it here. I know most budtenders by name, and they always come through with whatever strain I feel like lighting up. I definitely drop by here when I’m around the area. Only problem is my favorite strain is pricey here, and it only comes on Thursdays if I want to make the deal…
Great experience. The employees were very helpful and knowledgeable about their products.
Being a new customer and not knowing anything about marijuana I was a bit nervous going to Greenside Recreational. My concerns were quickly overcome with how well this shop is organized and run! Upon entering the building you present your id to a friendly security guard. No big deal! You can then browse through the supplies in the front of the store. At the back of the store is where the marijuana is sold. Kind of reminds me of being in line at a bank. They have glass counters setup with a person that actually sells you the product. The few times I have been to Greenside, I have been met by a friendly, knowledgeable, and professional sales people (bud tender). Not pushy or rude at all! They answered all my questions, educated me, and got me all setup to enjoy the my first experience with marijuana! They have kits that have everything you need to get started! This was great! Over the last few weeks, I have been back to Greenside to try more of their extensive product line and my experience has been outstanding! WOW folks, I strongly recommend Greenside Recreational!
The employees are knowledgeable about their product and gave me a very personalized experience every time I walk through the doors. I’m happy to know that Greenside has my needs met; and such a close drive to my home. Greenside Recreational has my business and I recommend it to
anyone who has a need. A need for really good weed.
good people good shop
can be loud sometimes
I go here all the time. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the goods they sell. Usually I have them pick me out something because they usually know what is the best. There is also plenty of parking and also you can get in and out of the store without having to wait forever.
GreenSide is in such a convenient location right there on 99 in Des Moines. They always have great suggestions for what I’m looking for and are very informative. Every employee seems to really enjoy being there. Even the men at the door are all always so happy.
This is a great place with amazing buds top shelf is my absolute favorite. great staff, friendly and helpful this is my shop I don’t go anywhere else.
Great staff. Awesome bud at a fair price. A lifelong dream come true.
This place is our favorite. Great prices and people! Needs a little bit of remodeling but I come here for the great prices and service. Greenside is #1!!!!!
Every time I have gone to Greenside I have truly enjoyed my visit. Friendly, knowledgeable, informative, and patient staff. GREAT product from reputable growers (Fireline is my favorite). Even the prices exceed my expectations, being lower than other rec shops near by. As if I wasn’t already impressed enough, the littler things like a crazy nice, and non-imposing security staff, and the fact they include tax on the listed product prices sold me all the way. Fantastic dispensary all around, and I highly recommend it.
This review is for Danielle. She’s is absolutely perfect at what she does very welcoming she the reason I continue to come back. Always knowledgeable about strains, vapes and edibles. She’s always welcoming and very patient as she allows me to pick her brain about everything! 5 stars all the way!!!
Threatening atmosphere, unkempt parking lot, overpriced concentrates, dead-eyed “budtenders”. Homeless and crackheads galore!
Super friendly and helpful
I’ve been coming here since 2016 and have always had a good experience until yesterday. Sophia was horrible and disrespectful and should not be working with customers. She clearly didn’t want to be bothered with me asking any questions about what I was purchasing. I thought that’s what they were there for? If a customer has some questions that should not be problem. When asked her name she would not give it to me and I had to ask security as I was leaving. Get rid of her she’s horrible and she has made at least one customer myself not wanting to frequent your business anymore. There is a lot of options with dispensary’s and I will go somewhere where I’m treated with respect while spending my money.
I went into this place on 6/21/2015 (Sunday morning). I waited outside for the place to open up. Soon as they opened, I went in and was met by a security guard named “Fletch” that acted like I was having my mugshot taken at a jail booking. I showed my ID, and he asked my to take off my hat. I did, and put it back on. Then he got shitty about it because I didn’t turn somewhere to face a camera. Well excuse me, I don’t know where all the cameras are in your store, and I’ve never had to go through this when I came to this store before.
Apparently people have to take off their hat and turn their head for the camera. The security guy was extremely rude during the entire process acting like I should have somehow known what they do here. I had muttered “jesus christ” at the end of it, and walked off into the room with all the weed, after he ok’d me.
He proceeded to yell at me through the shop “is there a problem sir?” he kept saying. Finally I turned around out of the pot room, went back in the front room where all the glass is at, and asked the girl at the counter for a business card and the name of her manager.
I did not speak to the security guard the entire time until I left the store. He proceeded to follow me out, still barking at me wanting to know if there was a problem and said “we can take this outside”.
As soon as we got outside he started yelling at me with profanity, and told me I’m also tresspassing, and when I pulled out my phone, he claims I’m not allow to record anything (I was standing on the sidewalk outside) He continued to yell and scream at me, accused me of going there just to start a fight (really, I sat there for 15 minutes before you opened, because my intent was to fight with you right?) He told me I’m a pathetic person and that I must be really alone in life, continued to swear at me, which I gladly returned the favor after the way this guy acted. He continued to get in my face, literally a few inches from my face, and threatening to call the police on me. I told him, go ahead, I’ll call them for you because I’ve done nothing wrong, and I voluntarily walked out of the store to begin with because of his constant yelling at me inside and making a scene.
Some red head kid came out shortly after and asked what was going on. I clearly told them both that my issue was how rude this security guy was with the process. They claimed it’s state law. The security guard kept telling the kid he needed to call the cops. The kid pretty much just sat there seeing how ridiculous he was acting, but never the less, the security guard kept screaming for him to call the cops.
I told him I would be posting this on Yelp and other review websites for the way he was treating me. He said “go ahead, cry more about it, plenty of other people do the same thing and guess what we still have business here, you don’t matter”
The redhead kid pretty much asked me if I wanted him to call the police. I pretty much told him go ahead, I’ve done nothing wrong here except try to go in your store and spend my money here. Red head kid says “well you’re making a scene here and we can’t have that”.
Really? I’m making a scene? I didn’t utter a single thing except the words “jesus christ” when I was in your shop. I wasn’t rude to anyone, I didn’t yell at anyone across the entire store like the security guard kept doing. Then he proceeded to follow me out and verbally abuse me, saying all kinds of inappropriate things, referring to insulting my personal life (this guy doesnt even know me) and yet I’m making a scene?
You know… I’ve been to plenty of shops, I’ve never had someone line me up, tell me to take off my hat, and turn and face a camera, in the rude manner that this security guard did. I’ve also never had a security guard flip the hell out like this guy did. Never once in any other shop has this been my experience. State law my ass. This security guard just did not like any attitude what so ever. Well guess what, when you treat people like shit, you can expect someone to not like it. All I said was jesus christ… if that’s enough of a reason for this guy to flip his lid in the manner that he did, and verbally abuse a customer over it, then that guy shouldn’t be working with people anymore.
I will NEVER come back here again after the disgusting behavior and at this point, the way the security guard treated me, I will be filing complaints with the city and appropriate agencies. That guy is abusive and emotionally unstable. Someone needs to lay off the steroids.
Please disregard the last comment. This customer is not allowed on the premises due too disrespecting the staff,being intoxicated on alcohol and drugs and vandalizing our glass cases.Big thanks goes out to our existing and new customers for shopping at our store!
Thanks,
D,Greenside Rec Manager
I ordered online and it was great considering I couldn’t get a hands on.
Greenside rec handles its traffic flow very well. There are lines, but I’ve always been greeted warmly and excitedly, busy or not! Someone has been cleaning every time I’ve stopped in, and I truly believe they care that I’m enjoying my purchase. dY~S
nice place, good prices, great people!
love how nice every one is and super helpful. always leave satisfied!
The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly.
The lines are long most of the times I have been to this location, but I do like the personalized budtender attention. It’s nice that they sell smoking accessories too. I’m happy they improved the parking lot!
This place is the best place ever, great customer service and everyone is amazing!
Super knowledgeable individuals and they treat everyone like a family!
Great product as well!
I wasn’t impressed . It seemed kind of ghetto not going back
Awesome staff, awesome music, and they always go above expectations to get you what you were looking for!
I would like go start with your store is so poorly labeled I missed the store the first time. After looking your location up online and seeing on your location had 1 gram of Ak45 co2 for $65 and when I arrived I am told no is a 1/2 gram for $65 not having my phone on me I could not show the counter help there site says otherwise. I felt mislead into coming to the location when I could have gone elsewhere and receive a much higher quality of products as well. Dissatisfaction with the whole experience was enough to say I will never be coming back.
before you leave the store check your bag to make sure the clerk put the right product in your bag. I didn’t twice and the wrong procuct was in my bag. I was also over priced.
I just needed a new rig. When I walked in the security was so helpful and friendly. Next I got help from Amanda who was so helpful, knowledgable, and really cool! Thanks for helping this old schooler broaden her horizons!!
I love this place! I live up in Seattle near the Lake City Way location, but since the fire there I have been making the long trip from North Seattle to the Desert Moines location at least once a week just because of the professional, personalized, friendly, knowledgeable service these bud tenders provide to each and every customer! And the great deals and low prices on everything every day are an added bonus! Can’t wait for the Lake City Way location in Seattle to open up again! Hopefully it will be in the very near future!
I have had multiple bad experiences here. Most recently, an employee seemed to be hoarding a joint testing higher by offering advice that one should get “one of each”. He attempted to say I should buy some rating as low as 19% and that the percentage had literally no effect. That is advice that I disagree with based on my years as a medical patient, “chronic”-led on this page. Back then I learned to avoid dispensaries that tried to horde the product or introduce confusion over what was actually testing well. It was the refusal of the employee to give me the order I asked him to follow through with. He refused to give more than two of the joints, going as far as to only put four in the bag. That kind of disrespect is something that I advise against accepting. There are great shops a short drive away that make up for the travel cost through better pricing alone, let alone quality and service.
Been coming here for a while and its a great place because everyone is super nice and friendly. The budtenders have great product knowledge and are able to answers any questions you might have.
Cool beans
Don’t like the whole lay out of this store. All you do is wait in line. Even when I was done purchasing my weed then went to the glass section and decided to get something else the worker said go back in line. I don’t understand they have so many workers there with one register but as you see that there’s multiple registers sitting around but they’re not using it there using one it almost seems like it’s like an auction store you even have a bunch of people are in the parking lot all hanging out together little ridiculous go home. I will not be visiting the store again this is the second time never liked it the first time in the beginning and I would not recommend this to a friend
This was the first shop I visited that also had snacks for sale. Yep, munchies for those of us who get hungry. Plus, the staff is friendly to newcomers.
Everytime I visit the staff is incredibly helpful, willing to take the time to explain everything to me. One employee in particular, Triston, has gone above and beyond multiple times to make sure I’m satisfied. Overall I would highly recommend this place!
This place is awesome. If I could remember his name of drop it in. He is my go to every time I come in. great service awesome selection and the glass section has some pretty awesome pieces too. This is my go to for sure.
Super nice staff and all the goodies you need
I’ve been going to Greenside for awhile now and i’ve always loved it! They carry product from a million different growers and recently a couple of my favorites have come down in price so i will most definitely continue to come back for more dY~f
I absolutely love Greenside. They have the largest selections I’ve seen in a recreational store thus far. The budtenders are incredibly knowledgable, and friendly. They even have a full service glass shop in the front of the store so you can get everything in one place!
They’re fun, upbeat, and seem like they’re eager to find you the most suitable product.
Convenient location. Great customer service. Always a variety of product. Everything I’ve purchased Ive been very satisfied with.
Don’t go here. Service, prices, product, atmosphere, everything is bad. Except for their new parking lot surface. Avoid this place because it drains not only your pockets but your energy.
I wish I could rate it lower than a star.
second time in the store. the same employee helped me both times. he was extremely patient, very helpful and very knowledgeable. he made a couple suggestions based on what type of buzz I like, I just tried one of the strains he suggested and I am HIGHLY impressed! it’s everything he described it to be, to the T!! prices here are VERY good, especially on 7g+ packs! Picked up 7g of highest quality bud for just over $100!!!
I would definitely recommend this shop to friends!
I love this place. Staff is chill and friendly… They offer a friendship kind of vibe where others seem very corporate almost. I really dig the space and the conversations. If you’re looking for somewhere to have an experience, I would say this place does that. I’m grateful. I know you will be too!
Great deals, they sell everything an enthusiast might want or need and every day there’s product on sale. Theres a shop inside for glass, wraps, rigs, snacks and tobacco. Bought a Piecemaker silicon pipe in there and I love it. I’ve probably dealt with each bud tender there and they all treat me with nothing but respect. All of them are very knowledgeable and friendly.
Awesome
This was my first time visiting Greenside in a while just because it was the closest shop to me at the moment. There was a new budtender with the worst attitude I’ve ever experienced in my visits at Greenside! It was insane how angry and annoyed my budtender looked by me! I usually don’t even write reviews but I felt like it was absolutely necessary this time. I walked in and told the guy exactly what I was looking for in what price range, and he pulls stuff off the shelf that’s the exact opposite of what I said and more expensive than what I asked for! It felt like the guy wasn’t even listening to me. There was no emotion on his face at all. Just a blank stare the whole time. Never saw the slightest smile once. I eventually walked out and drove further to another shop in Burien because my overall experience made me so uncomfortable. A lot of people bash this store and it’s like the employees there don’t even care! Fix the attitude and it might help you guys out
The selection here is amazing, it definitely gives you that kid in a candy store feeling. The staff is friendly and there’s tons of
parking. I stop by every time in Des Moines.
I really love the enthusiasm of the budtenders to get you something you’ll really enjoy. I know what strains and hybrids I’m looking for when I go in, and I tend to do an online order for faster pick-up (I’ll come back to that). It’s a very clean and tidy store with tons of stock at really great prices. I do love the online order process, though in the last couple of months the line for picking up online orders has taken a lot longer to get through. Not that there’s a lot of people in the “express” line, it’s that there’s not enough budtenders tending it or paying attention. Despite that, this is my store of choice and I love coming here.
It’s very convenient to have a recreational pot store close to home. I’m new to Washington, so I don’t have any other option. Some people complain about the cost. where I come from, $60 an eighth is a common price. And you don’t usually get a quality selection to choose from. The staff at Greenside are very friendly. Policies and rules are put in place for a reason, so quit belly aching people. If you don’t like the rules of a recreational store, then get a medical card and go to a clinic. I’m happy with Greenside! Thanks for coming to my neighborhood. 🙂
I always shop at Greenside Rec!
Great atmosphere
First time. Weird vibe at door but got better quickly. Gentleman in front very nice and helpful. Waited in line about fifteen minutes or so. talked with Pat. Pat has a degree in botany and was not only very knowledgeable and helpful but very friendly as well. more expensive than a medical despensorie but that is the situation in washington now. One gram stock was low but still got some good high cbd to try but cbd only products was only in oils. Apparently hard to keep up with demand especially with more medical patients coming. They had good selction but I would really like to see e-liquid concentrates for e-cigarette devices like the Dank Tank out of California.
only criticism I have is not being able to get information for new customers without having to hold up the line. To browse u would have to get out of line then get back into line again and that would be awkward with the current setup as it would look like you were cutting in line. Other than that, very good, friendly place with true experts on staff.
A great experience. Selection and service were excellent; I’ll be back.
I went there and asked the budtender if they had any GDP prerolls and she told me Yes! She went into the back to get the product but she returned and said they were out. Ok. She then informed me they had some other weed that had purple in the name.
I looked at it and it was a sativa dominant hybrid! I go in trying to get an indica and she didnt even know the difference! Knowledgeable budtenders would be helpful. I literally live 2 blocks away from this dump but Im done with this place!
Easy to locate, super friendly staff, reasonably priced product (considering the inflated cost of purchasing through a retailer). Will visit them again!
I loved this location. Andrew was polite and friendly. Let me know his main concern was making sure his customers are happy with quality bud!
First time in the shop the other day. Very friendly staff and chill atmosphere. Informative budtenders. Herb is great quality for an affordable price. They also carry edibles and pieces. I won’t be going to any other store besides Greenside now. ^.^
Greenside is the only recreational shop I go to. The selection is always wide and I can usually always find what I’m looking for. Thanks to the staff for making my experiences great every time!
Definitely enjoy coming to this dispensary. The prices are much better than another dispensary I have visited in Tacoma. The doorman is chill and the bud tenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Went with Jerica’s recommendation on Kali Mist and was not disappointed.
I had a great first time experience in your shop! There is soo much to choose from so it could be a little intimidating but to be honest, I felt like a kid in a candy store! Darrina (Hope i didnt butcher your name girl!) was who helped me and she was a gem dY~S she helped me with all my questions ,got me hooked up with some sweet deals …She even taught me how to make pot butter so i can make some edibles at home with the bud I purchased . long story short the whole place was super welcoming and laid back, Thanks guys until next time!
This review is specifically for Glenn! I went to this shop during last weekend’s President’s Day sale and it was slammed. Lines were crazy long but was moving quickly. My friends and I were helped by Glenn (who was staying overtime to help with the rush) to get our product. The lines were crazy but it didn’t even phase him. His attention was ours and he was an encyclopedia of knowledge on cannabis. I’m talking he knew how the flower and concentrates were harvested and prepared. He did not make me feel stupid for asking questions and set me up with the best strains for me and my anxiety. Such a friendly dude who you can tell cares about the industry. This isn’t just a job for him. This is his passion and it was clear through his customer service.
As for the shop itself, it is always clean, tidy and well stocked (for the most part). Some products are over-priced compared to other shops. But the location is convenient and the staff is friendly.
I have been in this shop several times over the year that I have lived in Washington. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable on the product they sell. The overall atmosphere is awesome: Smiles everywhere, always have good music playing, always clean. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, no matter the amount of knowledge on marijuana or any of the other stuff they have. I promise, these guys will get you right! The parking lot kinda sucks, but overall a great place!
don’t think about coming here within 30 mins of closing, that is unless you want to be treated rudely. prices are average. lines are always long. can’t browse products before hand. some employees are cool but can’t speak for all of them!
First time in a dispensary and the bud tender was very helpful and kind. I was able to leave feeling satisfied with my purchase. Easy in and out.
Bad atmosphere, so busy and loud.
I’ve visited Greenside a free times on trips out to the Seattle area and was really impressed by the way the do things. It’s really individualized with each station being the same, giving each person an even and personal visit. Big thanks to the short guy Daniel. Super funny and super helpful. Great atmosphere! See you soon Greenside!
THANK YOU GREENSIDE. Always providing me with that fire fix dY”Y=dY”Y=dY”Y=
most of the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about there available product and make great suggestions. love the drawings on the bags they have hanging on the wall. Definitely the shop to go to for all your needs
100% The BEST rec shop I’ve visted yet! Along with the quality bud, the staff is all very knowledgable about the products they sell, and are ALWAYS uplifting and it’s always GOOD VIBES. I LOVE greenside!!!
LOVE THIS PLACE! WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE, THEY HAVE FAST SERVICE, TONS TONS TONS OF PRODUCT, FRIENDLY STAFF AND GOT DEALS LIKE EVERY OTHER WEEK IF YOU SIGN UP ON THEIR VIP MEMBERSHIP! MUST TRY THIS PLACE!
the security is a super awesome guy always greeting friendly. i do think the store needs to be updating on
strains more often because right now there is not alot of selection.
decent, i will be back. wish the online menu listed thc/thca/cbd contents. stop hyping the ‘total’ thc content.
great store. lots of accessories. easy
parking.
Awesome pricing, they have stuff at every dollar value. I don’t review unless I am not happy but this staff was so awesome that I felt the need to. Great shop, I can see why they were voted best in the state.
Went to see what this place was about and met Martell (sp?) who was excellent. Knew his strains and was very helpful. Would recommend chatting with him if you swing by and want a subject matter expert. Good stuff, great selection.
By far the best retail marijuana shop. I’ve been to 4 other shops in the past month and there is nothing like the customer service and selection at greenside Rec! Faithful customer
I am very new to smoking. For years I had a very rough reaction to most pot and figured it just wasn’t my thing. Well I also have a lot of pain. I was a professional athlete for the first 15 years of my life, this ended with a total knee replacement at 14 and have dealt with that pain most of my life. Once it became legal in Washington State and I read more about the over all benefits. I went in and told the staff I was brand new and open to trying different types of methods.
I’ve learned so much from the staff here. I never feel like I’m being “sold something” It’s clear they have daily deals and brands they are pushing for. But when I let them know what I needed help with they walked me through all the types and ways to “smoke”. They helped me find some really good CBD strains that work for what I need. My pain and stress is so under control now. I’m also off a lot of meds I was depending on to just live. The staff here is just so knowledgeable and really care about what they are doing.
They’re all stoners but really combat the “stoners are all lazy bums” line really well. They know what they care about.
Great customer service great knowledge of weed and great deals
Greenside is like my second home! Close to the airport when friends visit.
Love greenside. Excellent selection. Super friendly staff. Budtenders are very knowledgeable!!!!
Tiana is helpful knowledgeable and nice.
Way overpriced. Go here only if you want to be treated like a criminal!!!! “Take your I.d. out of your wallet”,,,,,,,”take your hat off and face the camera” WHAT????????I will never be back and I hope this practice kills your business.
Too damn expensive! to be honest.
Loved this place me and my girl stayed in Tacoma it was our fav place to go.
Odd that it’s on an ugly, out of the way and unsafe location with probably the cheapest rent of any weed store and their prices are higher than the best prices in Bellevue.
perfect location, great service & nice people….major plus cause I just moved here not to mention there’s a beautiful purple hair woman there lol
bad location, overpriced products, really rude doormen
this is pretty much the best recreational dispensary in the state of Washington if you have a problem they will help you get things taken care of they have very good selection of Products they’r
cool people
You don’t need to go anywhere else!
