Emerald Haze Cannabis Emporium - Renton

Emerald Haze is a nice neighborhood dispensary, its clean and well kept, ive been going there for 4 years give or take, most the people who work there are really cool, the Budtenders are knowledgeable, they always have some good choices at different price points, I will say as a business owner myself I know why the business has declined at this store instead of growing, (cause its been dead lately) of all their pluses and strong points, which they have many, they have 1 main downfall.... the music!! Im all for rap, or whatever else, but this is still a business, and being in there hearing extremely vulgar music, heavy trap music, playing for a clientele that does not appreciate p#$$y, Bį!@h Fawwk type stuff, all day long, it's terrible, I've heard to many people complain about the music, ive seen elderly and others say things, ive heard people say they won't be back... and as a business the Manager of this place should know to make the call to be professional with music, or they will continue down this path of deterring customers, as long as this place is open it has a chance to turn it around, because new people keep coming, play any type of music you want, but ask yourself if the old white lady who spends big or the little hippie chick's or all kinds of other types of people will return to this vibe, they wont... it's a heavy dark vibe to say the least due to the music, although the budtenders manage to shine through... the only other thing is the security guy, he will stare people down and it's obvious he has a ego trip going on, he clearly needs some customer service tips and an attitude adjustment, this place will always be convenient for me, so I'll return until the doors close or the door clown bans me for not catering to his ego 🤣

This place has gone through alot of change over the years, with ups and downs, it's been busy, it's been dead, and now it's been bought out, by the Corporate Zips weed franchise, when you walk in you might get approached by the new manager, he will be creepily inquiring about what he can do to make sure you don't go to any other dispensaries, then you will engage with bud tenders who were hired for looks or gender, Instead of knowledgeable people, the goal of zips is to run the other dispensaries out of business, that's why they looked at Buddy's discounts and gave better discounts every day of the week, they even have one of the greatest fakes to the weed game, they call him Ian, long hair turkey gobler, he is a self proclaimed know it all of weed, although he is sadly too young and without merit to speak on half of the stuff that he just blurts out.. he refers to receipts for strains in his little world, not knowing they are receipts to the weakest watered down strains around. So if you are going here, ignore the bud tenders, pay attention to the deals and get what you want, but this staff doesn't know much.. .. unfortunately Walmart has the best deals!

I’ve never had anything less than a good experience, even when I’d like to get in and get out. Everyone’s kind and not overbearing, and they respond to online orders really quickly

Amari hooked it up with the fire. Thanks EH

I placed an order online for some cartridges. When I arrived to pick up my order I was told that I shouldn’t have been able to place the order because the discount was for someone else I feel like it was a bait and switch so I walked out and I’ll never go back to such a dishonest store

Emerald Haze has been my go-to spot for almost a year now, I must give them a fabulous review because I work in customer service and overall I’m impressed with them. Back when Medical had it’s big change, or should I say died, I stopped buying weed for a while. I have severe anxiety from trauma and going into a Rec store freaks me out, so I hate going into them. At least I hated going into them until I started regularly shopping at Emerald Haze. For this it really came down to human connection. Not small talk because I’m not capable of doing that, but something more personal that grounds me. Everyone here has been awesome, the people who work the door and the Bud-tenders. It all started when I wanted to try a Dab Pen and I had no clue what I was doing and never used oil. I was stressed out about asking since usually I just want out of there. The Bud-tender who I interacted with was Hassan, and he is a very calm and sweet gentleman who I instantly connected with. He gave me great instructions in a small amount of time, exactly what I wanted and indicative of his vast knowledge. He got me hooked on Oleum products, and I love him for it. After connecting with him I felt more comfortable shopping there and it allowed me to connect with other people. Some of them are Kayla, Michael, Hassan, Vidal, Kevin, Holli, and Lee. Vidal has always gave me fantastic recommendations, which is hard because I’m picky and weird. Lee noticed me wearing Alex Pardee art, which makes him incredibly awesome! Holli is always doing a fantastic job all around! Kevin and I nerded out on each other’s Disney Pins. Michael is always mad respectful, polite, and asks questions about me. Michael definitely goes above and beyond for working at the door. Kayla has exceeded all of my expectations for a Bud-tender! For the last 4 months she’s been my go-to person. Kayla always remembers little things about me, what I’m looking for, and what I like. I love hearing her honest feedback on products and she always has a very positive attitude and a big smile. I would like to thank everyone at Emerald Haze, weed is a huge part of me improving my quality of life and this has meant a lot to me. Thank you!

this was my second time here. my 1st time the bud tender was very helpful and friendly. he picked out great joint. the second time was a deal breaker. everyone was unfriendly and rude. the joint sucked it was a waste a money. I will not come here again. I'd rather drive 15 minutes to bellevue or even Issaquah and go somewhere else

Always a friendly experience any time I'm in here. The budtenders are always much more kind and informative than I expect a pot shop to be, especially just on the way home.

Always have a large variety of options. I have been coming in since day 1 great employees great deals only issue is the white dude checking id at the door. He has a bad attitude acts like he doesnt like his job! Should always treat customers respectfully regaurdless! Especially 1st timers .theres many people out there that like to work evidently this asshat doesnt!ive recommended 15+ people to this store most say same thing whats up with the asshole at the door!

Love Momma T, she was very helpful..... open and easy to talk to about a product I knew nothing about, she’s extremely knowledgeable & kind 💜

2 times now I have gone in and found some stuff I really liked and didnt want to pull out anymore cash for pay for the extra 3 dollars over my budget for the day and both times emerald haze associates have given me free points, or just pulled out of their own tip jar to get me out the door with what I wanted. these people know customer service and will make you feel welcome. I wont buy my pot anywhere else now these guys and gals are legit!!!

Not as customer friendly as other dispensaries I’ve been to. Other than that they were awesome, GREAT 420 deals. Check them out!

I’ve been to this shop many times. Yesterday, I went in and asked the girl for a Sativa cartridge. She gave me three, I picked one, and we proceeded with the transaction. Today I look at my cartridge and realize it says INDICA in big letters on the front. So, I go in (the day after, well within their measly 3-day return policy) and tell them what happened. The manager says sorry, you can’t exchange it. He explains that they can’t do a return or exchange, even when it was their employee that messed up, if the cartridge isn’t defective. He was not helpful, was not sorry for his employee, and made me never want to shop here again after being a loyal customer for years.

Cheapest prices, quality product, went here once and no other shop can compete with their prices. Happy Hour deals is a bonus, as long as their prices stay lower than any surrounding shops, this place is THE spot to go.

first time I got some joints and they found me some good ones for 5 dollars a piece

This shop is my second home. The staff make you feel like you are always walking into a group of friends and family. The selection absolutely is the highest quality in the area, and they never seem to be out of whatever it is you crave. By far the best shop filled with the very best budtenders WA has to offer.

I love this location I’ve been going there as a loyal customer for years.

Always have amazing prices! and most importantly, knowledgeable bud tenders. Rob Stone always knows just what I want!

They're always awesome, friendly and fast. Prices are decent and they're super convenient for anyone on the bus.

The only reason why I keep going to this weed shop is because it's near where I live. I don't like how the rewards points redemption can only be up 15%. 😬 Menu is not consistently updated online. Called them several times about having certain products that I'm looking for, say they have in stock, but really no, which wastes my time and fuel after calling 10mins a head of time. PLEASE carry more products! Some Budtenders come off as arrogant and some live up to stereotypes of pot users. They always seem to have new staff. Emerald Haze seriously needs to do some DEEP cleaning with the staff and system.

"Handy Sandy" told me all about this nice store with friendly staff and great bud. Thank you, Keion (budtender), it was nice talking to you about your education, your mom and Japan - it was all inspiring and lifted my spirits. The pre-rolls were delish!

This has been the best dispensery in the area since they opened. Staff are so great! They know what they are talking about! I am a customer for life!

This is the very best cannabis shop in the Renton area. I highly recommend a visit to this nice store that has top shelf bud, friendly staff and great deals.

Good deals!
