Every time I come to shop here I am always greeted as a close friend. I come in the mornings mostly and Scotty, Kyla, Delaney and Emmett are always so wonderful. No matter what weird questions I have or if my indecisiveness gets the best of me, they have the perfect recommendations and so much knowledge to share. This amazing place will always be my number one choice. Thank you Emerald Leaves.

This dispo has some of the best prices and deals out there. It's a little out of the way, but I don't mind making the trip. The workers have always been helpful, kind, & friendly in a way that feels genuine. The workers are impressingly knowledgeable. I go in explaining the effects I want, & every recommendation I've gotten has been perfect. The building has a lot of open space, which I deeply appreciated as someone who deals with an aversion to crowded spaces. It's doubly appreciate during this pandemic, as it's very easy to maintain plenty of distance from other customers, even when it's busy.
Every product I've received has been excellent quality, especially for the price. Their daily/weekly deals are effin fantastic. Not only do they have deals on different categories of products(flower,oil, cart,etc), they have store wide deals on certain days of the week too. I use medically, so their prices have been a godsend. I've only ever run into one issue. After purchasing a cart, I realized it was leaking in the package. But their return policy is great, &, the actual exchange was so quick!
My one complaint is that they would add some seating. When there's a really long line, it can be difficult & painful to have to stand the whole time I wait. I'd love to see them do something like this so that disabled people can be better accommodated & this business can be more accessible to us.
Once again, the online order app notified me of my order was received, then another notice the order was in progress. Then nothing. I went to the store to pick up my order and they had no record of the order. This has happened several times at the NWCC dispensary. The app is flawed. As far as the product, the Peanut butter and jelly flavor pen refill tastes like burnt popcorn and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Emerald Leaves is a great place with a unique style and location. It's not your ordinary pull up, buy, and spit type shop. Emerald leaves is a local shop you stop by and or hang out. I've visited Amsterdam and if you can get a smoke and beer shop, you got it. Again, just a thought. Noe the less, EL is a place where I will stop by after work and hang-out on 6th Ave.

They refused to refund or exchange a defective vape pen brought back to them in mint condition 3 days after the purchase with the receipt. They refused because I didn't have the original packaging and would not budge or make a judgment call to do the right thing for a long time loyal customer that's given them thousands.
Their policy that the packaging must be returned is not written anywhere on their website or within the store itself and they say that their employees are supposed to verbally tell you the policy at checkout. Well, their employees never told me this policy and the manager repeatedly cast doubt thus calling me a liar. It's one thing that you steal from me, refuse to apologize, and threaten to ban me for making logical arguments at a normal tone of voice without profanity, but now you call me a liar too?
If you want to be treated with dignity and respect, don't go to emerald leaves.

Great workers, supper friendly and give great recommendations on what to get. Amazing prices, tons of discounts everyday. I usually go here despite how far away it is because of how good the prices are

Fantastic little shop. Very nice employees. Shout-outs to 30% off pre-rolls. Shout-outs to the little puppy the lady brought in. Period.

I love Emerald Leaves! As a cancer patient, it was hard to find a dispensary that had quality bud at prices I could afford, but this is the spot. Will, Marley and Jayden are the best; during this pandemic, they've been SO careful about taking care of me, doing curbside and finding great replacements if my online order had something sold out. The dispensary is clean, locally-focused (I miss seeing all the posters of local happenings they promoted) and everyone I've had the pleasure of buying from has been so kind and considerate. I highly recommend Emerald Leaves if you're in Tacoma!

I am here visiting from Florida and I stumbled upon a black owned dispensary. I met the owner briefly but made sure to let him know we were very happy to see a black owned dispensary. The cannabis quality is fantastic and the customer service was amazing!

It was an Amazing experience at this wonderful shop! I had just flown in from the East coast and was stressed and exhausted from my flights and I just wanted to relax. The second I walked in, I was greeted with smiling faces and tbh that took some of the edge off right away! I explained my situation and desired relief to the girl that helped me and Oh Boy did she help!! She was extremely understanding and thorough in her knowledge and recommendations! I bought some Sour Tsunami and Magic Kitchen CBD hard candy that she recommended and I’m super glad I did! Mellowed me right out to the point that all my stress completely vanished, I was happy and I felt that I made a great new friend that had known me and my situation (PTSD) for years. THANK YOU!!! To the Owner(s) and the rest of the staff, you guys are amazing and keep doing Great things!!

I've checked out other locations and never have I been as impressed with a place as this one. I always end up seeing the same couple of staff who are all super knowledge and won't try to upsell you to the higher priced stuff if you're looking for cheap, great, good,leaf, extract, indica, sativa... I have never once, ever been pointed the wrong direction after discussing what I'm looking for with their awesome staff!
The latest budtender I worked with was Cedric and the CO2 vape, BHO/pho extract, and $12 eighth of bud were all exactly what I was asking for and wanted!
I'll never go anywhere else. I've tried and none have ever hung with this place or it's employees in their attitudes and knowledge.
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your feedback! We strive for options in every budget, and to get you what you are looking for every time.

I am a regular at this location when in the area. The staff are all regulars and have been consistently the same in the past year that I have come. Some of their budtenders deserve rewards for their customer service and bud knowledge. If your ever in this shop and don't know what to order talk to Cedric, Derek or Easton..they are all individually amazing. The prices are reasonable and they now accept debit at the counter with a 2.50. I have not purchased a bad batch yet from them. Great vendors and quick service. Overall 5 STAR service.

We appreciate the feedback and recognition!

I like the staff they are knowledgeable and extremely helpful. However, Anthony has waited on me several times and I'm impressed with how he tunes-in to the customers tastes and preferences. He steers me to the right product every time. Never a bad suggestion. But all the staff is great!!! This dispensary is the best in town by far. Just wish there were more great tasting dark chocolate edibles, You have to get your munch on after a good hit!!!
Dispensary response:
Thank you =) We add new edibles every month, so check back on the Dark Chocolates soon!

Luigi and the black dude with the dreads are such a good help. They know the products and are super helpful when suggesting good priced weed for the quality. They have the really cool white guy who makes sure no-one is soliciting in the parking and he's super friendly. I love coming here.
Dispensary response:
I'm sure you're referring to Cedric! Thanks for the review, we strive for awesome selection and learning what you're looking for!

The guy working asked me for my ID and because the expiration on it said military he denied me service. He then asked if I could provide a dd214 to prove I was out of the military he could sell to me. I live in Olympia and wasn't going to drive there and back for it. Looks like my search for a certain strain ended there. No other location has done this to me. In fact some places give me a veteran discount. The man there was rude and I don't recommend this place to anyone.
Dispensary response:
At Emerald Leaves, we do offer a veteran discount. As it is a federal crime to sell to active duty members, our security guards do their best to prevent those incidents. In grey areas, keeping our doors open does take precedence. We apologize for the inconvenience and do appreciate your service and feedback.

The only two things I don't love about this place is the fact that you're so visible on a popular street (don't want my staff running into me outside) and the slim pickings on glassware (which is understandable- why bother compete with all the well established local smoke shops when you have a license to sell cannabis?). Otherwise a solid dispensary that has even more in house then listed on this app (which is big for me, I love seeing menus before arriving).
