I love this dispensary. They give you really nice customer service. They really take the time to find out what you want that day. Unlike some other places they don't act as if it's your lucky day they are waiting on you. Their weed is the best!!! And I know my weed. They have great growers and I like the laid back vibe.
The staff is very knowledgeable. The strains they carry are the best in town. I wont go anywhere else.
The guy helping me stated he was the owner. Was super nice until he started his crazy rant on the president and his political views. Was shocked at how angry and worked up he got talking about politics... little word of advice... dont talk about religious or political views with new customers was very uncomfortable... wont be coming back.
I bought a gram of buddies OG sativa and halfway through it and the bugga went out on me and Justin took it back even tough it was less than half all because he wants me ( a customer to be satisfied with the product that I paid for, ALL of it!). Thank you Justin for understanding your customer. Yes we may not be right all the time but that does not mean we have to be treated as a bad customer all because of a malfunction regardless of how much left on the cartridge, they are after all 35$ n up a pop so it's expensive to just throw it away. And for that I came back bought another gram and will definitely keep coming back here. And I highly recommend you do your good times here business n pleasure
A lot of horrible and shady business here. The owners don't know how to be respectful or good people at all.
The manager, Bob, at Pakalolo was very helpful and patient with tending to my bud needs. They have an ATM so that's convenient and Bob even threw in a free 510 battery and lighter with my purchase. Highly recommend this shop! They have all your needs for the right prices.
Oh man this place is rad!! Not only are the products reasonably priced but they offer a great variety of flowers, oil, edibles and more. Me and my partner only go to this dispensary! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful! The place looks nice and we always leave pretty happy customers. :) 10/10 would recommend.
Everything was cool until the owner started talking politics. I don't even disagree with what he was saying. But damn dude give it a rest. Just sell your product and shut up. I ended up not buying anything. Definitely don't recommend this place.UpdateJust received this from the owner. So professional.
Always a pleasant experience here. I love the labeling of the terpenes. I always get what is suggested by the staff and have yet to be misled. Major props to staff for picking out such on point choices for me especially since my only questions are "so what do you suggest for....a dog walk...I'd like the giggles and to then make snacks....which is best for watching the presidential debates if I'm feeling like this(as I make a face)"...etc. I'm usually a 2 dollar a g shopper, however this is quality at a very fair price. I smoke less because it is a better quality and exactly what I asked for.Much love to the crew!
Finally a place I can go where I won't get a dirty look asking for outdoor. It's become super rare to find a place that focuses on outdoor, let alone a place that has a basic selection of outdoor. Some places can't even tell their weed apart or don't have any notable understanding of the practices of the cultivators they partner with! Common, Portland!I work in the industry and am a hobby grower and understand that the local climate is far from ideal for outdoor. But that doesn't mean that it is better, nor does it mean that OR doesn't have some ideal climates further away! You can't forget that at the end of the day these are plants and plants are nature. Growing indoor requires an insane amount of energy and supliments for production. How crazy would it be for someone to grow tomatoes that never saw the light of day? Yet this is commonplace for Cannabis...Rant over... Back to review:Pakalolo is different. The majority of their product is outdoor. I love this. You get the vibes of sunshine, live soil and rolling rivers with every puff, not just harsh lights and buckets of nutrients like indoor "designer weed."I got the "Where's My Bike" (something that I never want to say irl, my bike is my life!) strain from the Benson Arbor cultivator. I haven't even smoked it yet, but it smells amazing, great piney/citrusy head and it looks dense and has an almost unreal green. That goes to show how excited I am about this place, I wrote all this and I'm not even high yet...
DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! The owner Justin Riggs and the manager Francesco Nati are both racist. Francesco Nati has physically assaulted a Black female customer all because she called him out on his racism. They fired the only Black man working there at the time just for breaking up the fight between he white male manager and the Black female customer. This company appropriates Hawaiian culture and should be shut down!
The owner is rude and aggressive. Beware!! This place isn't chill and, after looking through some of the other reviews, it seems to be a pattern!
Love the wide selection of products! I appreciate his friendly attitude and willingness to explain the products. I'm not at all knowledge about dispensaries and was there with a friend that has a medical card so this was a new experience for me. Adam is incredibly fun and very knowledgeable!
Everytime I have been here they took great care of me
My favorite neighborhood dispensary, but I'd still commute here if I didn't live in the vicinity. Francesco and his staff know what they're talking about and won't bs you. Top notch quality and competitive prices to go with it!
As a flower lover and after trying several inner SE dispensaries, Pakalolo has become my go to 100% of the time now. One knows good cannabis when you smell and taste it and the consistency is outstanding! You won’t find their bud on other shelves and is a must visit if you truly enjoy fine cannabis at value prices. Francesco has been a solid adviser and fortunate to have found.
I have been coming here for years and have NEVER had a bad experience. Even on the RARE occasion when things go wrong, the employees are so sincere and pleasant that I don’t mind at all. The price may be a tad more, but the excellent service and the the genuine happiness of the employees makes it truly worth it
Sincere, friendly, and well-informed service has been my experience on every visit. They have a diverse selection for all methods of consumption, and the flower is always exceptional. Average prices are a bit higher than most, but you clearly get what you pay for and there are usually decent deals
