I do appreciate the cheerful staff and ease of pre-order especially right now as we all struggle with social distancing and fulfilling our needs for cannabis products. I use topicals medicinally and need them now more than ever!!
Ganja Goddess has lost its luster. Just three years ago, it stood as the crown jewel of the crowded SODO market. Now it competes as just another pot shop with middling stock and service. It's always been clean, and the atmosphere continues to be warm and welcoming. Yet Ganja's expert budtending has taken a nosedive, and the store's once-vibrant selection no longer delivers the same curated quality (or quantity, for that matter).
Those last two attributes can be particularly subjective, so I'll break it down. During my last three visits, the budtenders managed to alternate between overbearing and inattentive, a seemingly impossible feat. When I expressed interest in browsing, they behaved like helicopter parents, following me around to each case and constantly bombarding me with questions. When I actually did have something to ask, answers were vague and noncommittal: "might have something over in the corner," or "I've heard it's good, but I don't really know." When their assistance was actually needed (such as to complete a transaction), they were suddenly busy with something else.
Selection and quality hasn't fared much better. Far from the best inventory downtown (or even in SODO), the shop seems to exist in a constant state of depletion. While I understand supply and demand can be tricky in this industry, that didn't seem to account for the disparity between the brands and item types on display. Some shelves were filled to the brim, while others boasted a few pre-rolls of a single strain. Glass products proved nonexistent, and you could probably find more CBD at a Portland gas staton.
It's worth noting that these were not isolated incidents, but realities observed over the course of months of patronage. There was a time when GG was my hookup of choice, but that time has sadly passed. With so many new outfits popping up across Seattle, there's no longer a reason to settle. Try nearby joints like Dockside or Zips instead.
I love and appreciate the level of professionalism and customer service every time I’m here. Everyone is so knowledgeable and willing to give authentic reviews on the products and I never feel like I’m being pushed towards a product.
Thanks for being amazing :) always worth the drive down into SODO to support a diverse and women run weed shop :)
Everyone is always so helpful and friendly! Great recommendations from every bud tender and they really pay attention and go the extra mile to help out (and remember!) their customers. By far the best shop around
The budtender who helped me today kept calling me "my dear". He and I are probably close in age, so maybe he thought it was a generational thing, but I don't care for it from a man (or most women) I've never met. Not appropriate in today's culture. He was otherwise very polite as was the gentleman at the door.
Don't trust their bait and switch pricing. They have inaccurate pricing on products. Not sure if it's intentional to pull people in or just unprofessional? The budtender seems friendly enough though.
I love everything about Ganja Goddess!! All the items are clearly displayed and the entire team is super helpful, knowledgeable and honest. Have been a customer since day one and they just keep getting better. 🙏🏼😎🚀
Good variety of good product. Stock moves quickly, so offerings are updated often. Buddistas are knowledgeable and happy to share insights and make recommendations. Friendly atmosphere, discounts, and web menu/preorder options keep me coming back.
