One of the cleanest and most modern dispensaries I've visited. The interior looks like it belongs somewhere on the Starship Enterprise. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and my friend and I left happy.
Dakota helped us. The man knows what's up. Will return and bring friends! We were able to roll our own joint in their lounge with cookies and coffee
We LOVE The New Amsterdam! They've typically got a great selection (especially of oil/shatter), insanely great prices & deals, and the staff is friendly and makes just the right amount of conversation. Oh and did I mention $6 1/8s?! Plus, we always loving grabbing a cookie (or two) from the cookie jar while we're there. Roll a joint with the flower you just bought at the free rolling station! It's so rad here. I'd absolutely drive from across town to come here.
This place is great, a large selection of wax, oils, flower, with a really cool looking shop. The staff has always been above and beyond helpful, thoughtful and courteous, if you need any weed, go here!
Beautiful interior, great selection, and awesome employees, I can't wait to come back to the area to browse their wares again! They offer lots of different price points, so you can get exactly what you want.
This used to be my favorite shop in the neighborhood. I was excited initially about the points reward program, which never panned out. I used to like many of the budtenders. The readerboard with strains and prices was clear and easy to read. However, numerous times I went to this shop and it was closed for the owner's religious holiday. I am fine with buying weed from a religious nut, but please don't impose your closures for silly reasons on customers. The final straw happened today when I returned to this shop after not coming in for a few months. The set up of the flower displays is different and both budtenders were dudebros who I had never seen before. The first strain dudebro#2 offers is more per gram than an eighth costs across town. There are a lot of pot shops in Portland. Don't waste your money being hustled by whiteboys hired by a cultist. Go ANYWHERE instead.
New Amsterdam is probably one of the best shops in Portland. Beautiful glassware. High-quality flowers and extracts. I highly recommend them.
I partly agree with Dana's review being that it used to be a decent place but now it's gone to shit. Horrible atmosphere with the owner always over your shoulder. The past employees that were great left because of how much it sucked to be an employee at the dispensary. I don't agree with Dana's gripes about them celebrating their holidays by shutting the shop down. I respect that they don't open up for their beliefs. It's not like they're pushing their beliefs on me (like Dana mentioned) by shutting the shop down. I live walking distance from this place but I'll never go back.
Great place with great product. The salespeople were very nice and took the time to explain everything to me
Great products, SO AFFORDABLE! The staff are incredibly nice and friendly and engaging. Plus they always have snacks. All the snacks! I live in SE but go out of my way to shop here because the prices are unbeatable, the staff feel like instant buddies, and it just feels so nice in there! Choose this shop, it will instantly become your new home shop like it did for me! I had to bring in a return once and they were super helpful and easy about it.
Nathaniel is an excellent budtender. Not only did he help me resolve a small issue, he went above and BEYOND to make me happy. This is what good customer service in the cannabis industry is about-- friendly, knowledgeable service from down-to-earth people who care about customer satisfaction. This is the only dispensary I visit regularly-- and for good reason. ALSO! Great prices!!! Thanks Nathaniel!
This place is garbage. The weed isn't very good and overpriced. It's close to my house though.
This is one of those Portland businesses that can't be bothered to be open when they claim to be. Continually closed when "open" and they leave all their signage lit up...superlame. Third time this has happened, which is sad because on the rare occasions they actually are open the staff and selection are both terrific. Closest spot to my house, but second closest is only 4 more blocks, so I won't be wasting my time walking in this direction again; Nectar is NEVER closed when they say they're open. I mean, I get it, you're stoners...but really.
I have been shopping at this location since it opened. Recently they've lost my reward points, Twice. In the last year service and pricing have deteriorated and now the selection as well. Recently I went by on a Saturday and they had a 'Be Back in 10 Minutes' sign taped to the door and I can guarantee they were not back in 10 minutes. When I called, they said they wouldn't be ready to open for a few MORE minutes. This is 5:30 in the afternoon!But I still go back on Tuesday, when its buy an quarter for an eighths price and guess what? Gone, with the puniest selection in store, I told the clerk why I was leaving and will not be back, except to check every few months to see if they've improved.
Go out of your way to go here. I'm from the Bay Area so I've been going to dispensaries for many years and this place is perfect. No fuss, just a great selection of products at all price points with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Sorted. They were having a 20% off concentrates sale the day I went and the prices were already great!
Look at the multiple negative reviews. I am just another one, terrible customer service. I will never come back to this location. Should you come here there is no culture. A local recommendation is Jayne Dispensary they even have curbside pick up! Good luck happy 420!
Nice push for quality customer service. Highly recommend for a nice variety selection and good prices
Horrible selection of the worst cannabis and concentrates I've ever seen in my life. Better choices ANYWHERE...
Being a neighbor to this store, I was very curious about this store for a long time. Because it was under construction for a LONG time. I was admittedly frustrated because on about 4/5 of my first attempts to visit the store it was randomly closed with a note on the door and a list of many dates it would be closed. Turns out, not so random, but they do carry weird hours, so be sure to check before visiting.Now that I've managed to show up when it's open, the wait is worth it. Clean, modern and stylish, good product selection and from time to time, great deals. The staff are all quite pleasant and personable and knowledgeable about the product.A nice addition to my neighborhood!
Amazing atmosphere and vibes here! Fun and knowledgeable staff.
I liked the show originally but now every week they are preaching to us. I’m done
Great place to shop. Clean safe and great tenders.
The staff is knowledgeable and kind. The products are great ?
I walked pass this store all the time. NEVER paid much attention to it. I went in one day and was delighted. They have great clones and reasonable prices. The customer service was outstanding!!
The New Amsterdam elevates everything you thought a cannabis dispensary could be. We've taken street-chic decor and paired it was an incredible selection curated by Portland's most knowledgeable budtenders. We're always hunting for the best products. Flowers, concentrates, edibles however you choose to enjoy it, our selection proves high-quality and low-prices aren't mutually exclusive. Get the best Oregon has to offer, and look good doing it. We'll see you soon.
