Bloom - Portland

I think the prices are pretty great and I think there are a few people who are extremely knowledgeable, which I'm truly thankful for that. I don't know however, if I'll ever go back in there after the last few times I've been in with the vibe I've gotten. I am a people person. I'm a comedienne as well, and a bit talkative. I have had too many people who work there seemingly rolling their eyes when I ask questions or just not respond at all because they are waiting for me to choose and looking off into space as if they're inconvenienced. I realize each day is different, but it kind of stings a bit when you notice the atmosphere change when you walk in as if they just want you to shut up before you even start talking. Especially when you notice someone whom always seems to like to see you, change their demeanor due to the others who may not appreciate my personable character. This last visit really made me miss my old shop, and made me leave this review. Once or twice, sure, but it's been too many times now. They will thrive regardless of one less customer. Takes a substantial amount of placating for me to say no more. One of the assistant managers has a vast amount of knowledge no matter what you ask her, but this last visit put me off enough to go down the street and pay more. Take care bloomers

Inside this dispensary it looks great. There's bright lighting and it's set up very similar to a pharmacy, with people behind the counter and product prepackaged. I came in to purchase an ounce because I am a OMMP card holder. I was told that I couldn't purchase an ounce because it wouldn't be fair to send somebody (with a OMMP card) home with a bunch of product while the rec users only get 1/4. Really? So basically you're telling me you don't want my business? I was actually offended. That's cool, I know I will not be returning. I have not tried the bud I did purchase yet but I would like to point out that everything is prepackaged and if it's weighed (which I guess they hope nobody does) it comes up short. Don't forget, once it's in your hands, you're stuck with it. The parking in the back is very shady where mentally ill homeless people are walking around. It's a very unsafe environment (parking lot, not the dispensary). I wouldn't suggest turning around OMMP holders because we have legit health issues and that is why we have the card in the first place. I've had my card since 2007. They said that Bloom was originally a dispensary for OMMP holders which is very difficult to believe after being told I can't buy an ounce. They want to look cool to all the rec users so I won't return.

Excellent shop!

Great experience, went in for their valentines special & got some killer pre-rolls. Will be back, thanks guys!

I came to Bloom because I saw it here on Leafly. From all of the other places I had checked out, Bloom was calling my name. It looked like everything was organized and labeled and all of the reviews said how great and friendly the staff was. I was not disappointed. On my first visit, I had a lot of questions and a nice older lady (she looked young though) gave me a run down of the products, what they do, her preferences, etc. I told her what I was looking for and she went over that with me as well. No pressure to purchase anything whatsoever. I left the store feeling very taken care of. I ended up buying a vape pen and two diff cartridges. I noticed after I got home that one of them didn't work and since I wanted to buy a couple of sativas, I figured I go back to the source. This time I was helped by Melanie. I explained about the broken cartridge and she swapped it right out, no questions asked, and then we talked about the products in detail in the store. She was awesome! I really like this place. I ended up getting some sativas, a rollie, and crumbles. This is really a great place to come and buy medicine. The meds are strong, the medibles are amazing and taste great, and the staff really is awesome and helpful. I honestly don't think I'll be shopping anywhere else!

I recently made "BLOOM" my apothecary of choice. I have been to many others. Some are a poorly lit. Some are staffed by strange characters. One place asked if I am a policeman. The bottom line is some places make me feel uncomfortable. Maybe I don't fit their notion of the average consumer. I am 61 years old. I have lots of questions... and I ask them! I like to be an informed consumer. I like to shop at "BLOOM" because: A) They are located in a safe neighborhood with plenty of on street parking. B) The store is bright, well lit, and CLEAN! C) Melanie, the proprietor is a doll. She's pleasant, knowledgeable, and always goes the extra mile. She takes the time to answer my questions and knows the properties of the different strains her store carries. D) Mike, an employee, is the same way and always greets his customers promptly and with a big smile on his face. E) The prices are fair, (maybe even on the low side), and the QUALITY is high ( pun intended!). I guess I am especially suggesting "BLOOM" for folks around my age, who just want to find a nice place where they are warmly welcomed and treated kindly.

Bloom was the first dispensary I ever visited when I became a medical marijuana patient. I was nervous and a little apprehensive about going into a dispensary for the first time but the budtenders at Bloom were extremely helpful and down to earth. That was about 4 years ago... Now we just about have a dispensary on every corner in Portland, but Bloom is still the classiest spot with the most helpful, friendly budtenders around!

Loved it and the dog!

I came in today 1/19/18 for my first visit and I must say this is my spot from now on. I live in Hillsboro but work in North Portland and I plan to stop here everytime I need quality and quantity. I asked for small bills back for change and completely spaced out on tipping because we had such a great conversation, my apologies and next time I'll definitely remember! Tipping your budtender is a must, especially with these fine people!

A very nice place to shop. They got my wife and I into the bud room quickly, the budtender was very informative and friendly, and they provided a quality experience. The budtender offered me a tiny bowl of coffee beans to sniff before smelling each strain, and he had all the advice and info that I asked for. I bought an eight of Purple Alien and an eighth of Albert Walker, both at the budtender's suggestion, and I'm very happy with my purchase, though the Albert Walker was real crunchy (no complaints on the high, though). They carded both of us, their registers are secure are secure (less chance of a robbery), they only offered flowers (we're not patients), and they provided government-sponsored information on the "potential dangers" of children ingesting cannabis products at our purchase, so they are as legit as they can get. I will definitely go again and again.

Bloom is one of my favorite Portland dispensaries. I'm a regular customer, and I encourage you to check it out too! I mostly buy flower, and their quality is fantastic; I've never been disappointed by anything I've bought there. Rather than having dozens of strains like some of the larger dispensaries, Bloom carries only the buds that meet its standards of quality - and they're pretty high. Their middle-shelf ($8/gram) flower would probably cost you $10/gram elsewhere, and their top-shelf flower is very affordable at just $10/gram. It's a great place to try new strains, and I've found some of my favorite strains (notably Sour Jack and Watermelon Kush) there! My one criticism of Bloom is that their specials aren't very good. They have a reward program, but the points expire after 30 days, so if you're a light consumer like me you'll never see a penny of your credit (I didn't even know it existed until I saw it here). It would be a nice incentive to shop there more often if they had better specials/sales - hopefully they will have some in the future!

This is what a dispensary experience should be. Oy vey, see my other PDX review while visiting town. This place was very clean, greeted with a smile, and great quality product and service. I will definitely come back when next I'm in town.

It was our first time at Bloom. Great location, very friendly staff and excellent products. Just got Triangle Larry and G Crush. Highly recommend this place and we will be back!

Bloom is incredible. Lots of updates and constantly stocked bargain bin. Bloom is low key but high quality and service. If you are a medicinal patient, please visit here. Their loyalty program is 2:1 for every $ spent. It may be slightly out of the way for recreational but make the trip! Worth it! Bloom always have a large selection of edibles and the team is so darn kind and educated. Great for higher CBD options.

Really Like This Place! Super Friendly and Helpful Budtender! Great Flower! Excellent Deal! They have a great wide selection of flower and concentrates. Sweet Freebie! You gotta check this spot!

I like this is my new spot in the area get weed perfect customer service ! When im havin a off day im here ! Cuz i know it will get better in 1 stop

My visit to Bloom was everything I thought it'd be plus more! Conveniently located, this shop offers a wide selection at a reasonable price. Ask for Lily-she helped my husband and I find everything we needed and was incredibly friendly! Highly recommend this dispensary to all!

I think the comments from the dispensary to dissatisfied customers sums this one up. They do appear to care and they want to make it a good experience for you. Cute place, good herb, and fair prices will have me back when I come up the next time. See my other recent reviews for where not to go. These guys are a go!

Stopped by for the Golden Xtrx special. I was able to get in and done in minutes. Nice shop well stocked. Usually, when I go get free batteries with two cartridge deals, the selection is very limited. Not here, Bloom had plenty of varieties. Bud tender was very helpful explain the dispensary and picking which strains to get my cartridges in. More parking that most Portland spots and great help and stock. This place is a keeper.

I love this location. Great customer service nice atmosphere friendly budtender

This was my first time in here and my experience was fantastic! The product was top notch. The labels had the usual thc/cbd numbers on them but what I found most helpful is the labeling of the effect and what ailments it will most likely help a patient with. Truly amazing. No guessing or waiting for a bud tender to look it up for me. I was going in for the strawberry cough(awesome by the way) but left with 3 other strains too, a few edibles and a concentrate. This is my go to shop from now on. Love it!!!

Awesome people, quality, prices and service. A little story: I went here for the 1st time today and they forgot to give me my change and I forgot to make sure I received it (not a ton of money, but still $10 is $10). I then came back after 5-10 minutes when I realized I didn't get it and they were very cool about it, they understood and immediately gave me my change. I can imagine some places might not have been so cool about it and I really appreciate this kind of trust and service. I'll be back for more.

I heard good things from a local, only reason I walked in. Once I came in a was warmly welcomed. After being told about their sale the next day, I was excited so I only bought a gram of GSC mint. After going back home to enjoy, I noticed the flower I had looked different than the sample. The next morning I decided to get the 7grams for $40. Not thinking maybe that deal is too good to be true , and it was ! Of the 7 grams two were indoor and looked ok. The NYC sour D, and the super skunk . The other five grams were outdoor/greenhouse. The OG was Faux G , not the 1 ! The red haze was good for green house but it was not a Haze ! The girls were sweet and customer service was dope ! And 7 grams for 40 is a deal. However the bait and switch is not cool ! So far Oregon 1-4 with pot ! Next time I come up here to fish, I am being my own medication ! Hope you guys get it together ! You should educate your customers and keep strains to the names ! And don't sell outdoor greenhouse as if it's indoor , especially when ..........I'm done ! I would have called but , what I'm I going to say ? I want my money back lol , even better can I trade my crap for more crap ! I waited and smoked these on a clear head to give a good taste test however now I have a migraine and the reason I use medical MJ is for migraines ! Thank you for the head ache !!

Great customer service. Excellent selection. My new fave spot.
