Visiting from out of town. Was greeted with a smile and knowable service. The bud-tender gave great suggestions. Great experience over all!!

Ratings and reviews of Higher Leaf Bellevue - Factoria
Today was my first visit and am not familiar with a lot of the "new" options. I was checking out the oils, tinctures and edibles and the tender was indulged my questions even though it was clear I wasn't going to buy them. However, when I said I did come in for some bud, he walked me over to the bud counter and helped me through choosing 3 strains (which I, of course, had already read about here on Leafly). The shop is great and they stock every thing and then some. The two people I talked with were top notch, too.
This place is ok, as far as bud goes, however almost every experience in there has been unfriendly staff (other than the id checker). My last visit was terrible. Just as a disclaimer I only bought the weed to not be a bother, apparently. I asked for a pack of hybrid pre rolls and she gives me a choice of two sativas and asks "which one looks cool". Then I asked for an indica pre roll she would suggest and she just pulls Gdp off the shelf and rushes me to the register ......thanks a lot I go in there because I'm in the area sometimes. I wouldn't recommend to a friend. I'm not going to shop here anymore.
Awesome inventory and staff. Ned MJ patient, first time in a retail store. My interest are in the CO2 pure carts. Prices were not bad, but what hurts is the tax. My purchase got nipped another $50 just for tax. OUCH! WA needs to really makes this a bit fairer to patients who go through the legal process to use as medicine on a daily bases and get that reduced or mulled out. GT is a great store, but look forward to the day the states stops ripping off patients who use as an alternative to RX poisons. I had look into another retail store, but they want to do with working with MMJ patients.
I went into this local retail pot shop for my first time and for the most part had a good experience minus the pricing (not out the door price). When I went in, I didn't have cash on hand and "Sean R" helped me and said that they accept card. My overall purchase (after state tax, local and excise tax) was $70.00. However, when I checked my bank to match my receipts when going through checks and balances, not only did THEY CHARGE $71.50 TO MY BANK (as an ATM fee, mind you and I did NOT use an ATM) but my bank charged me a $2.50 ATM BANK FEE. I was grateful that my bank had credited me back the $2.50 but WHAT THE HECK? The sales associate should have advised me that there would be fees associated with using a card (they as in GREEN THEORY) charged me $1.50 - again, my receipt shows a charge of $70.00. http://i.imgur.com/hgSRLEc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/cHnPSZJ.png http://i.imgur.com/7xoAXTl.png I would much rather do my shopping at Evergreen Market where the pricing is the "out the door" pricing and has taxes included vs. the bullishhhh that I experienced here. Below are receipts where I was at Evergreen Market. http://i.imgur.com/AjK6nPJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4pXDuTS.jpg I doubt I will be back to Green Theory...
So much to choose from thank god the bud tenders here are experienced and eager to share their opinions! I've been to many locations that are staffed by rude, too cool for school girls and guys that Green Theory really stands out for its quality service. All my thanks to Joel, the store's on-hand medical marijuana consultant. He cares about his customers!
great selection! very knowledgeable staff 😊
just go here for the bud don't go here for anything else the customer service is horrific just keep positive vibes to yourself going don't crack a smile just tell them exactly what you want and then walk out and enjoy what you bought and don't think about the experience you just had they will do no better at their new location everyone in this place sucks they're just a bunch of I don't know I don't know what they are I don't even want to call them people
This is my updated review on Green Theory in Bellevue. I have visited this store five times in the past two weeks and I’ve been extremely pleased, in and out quickly with FIRE! I’m still not accepting recommendations but have to say that carrying Gold Leaf Gardens and Gabriel is redemption! I’ve purchased Tangie and Mango by Gold Leaf Gardens and Lemon OG and Cookies and Cream by Gabriel, all of which were latest harvests and sticky goodness! Great job guys and gals will see you next week!
Stopped by today to check out the deals and pick up some fire, and received some of the best service I have ever had from a recreational cannabis store. The two staff members who assisted me, Sean and David, we incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. David recommended me a few varieties of cannabis hash oil to choose from and really showed his knowledge and resourcefulness about the product, answering any and all questions I had. Sean showed me the benefits of all the cartridges that were offered and I was able to make my selection without feeling pressured. Would absolutely recommend this store and I plan on returning to this store if all the staff members show the same aptitude for cannabis sales that Sean and David have.
Nice location in Bellevue Downtown Easy to walk to from the library or bus stops Close to other restaurants a plus to those that gets hungry
The first thing you notice walking in to Green Theory is simply how classy/up scale the place feels. It makes it feel much more like a legitimate business (especially when compared with the vibe you get at most of the other dispensaries I've been to). Their selection is impressive, and they have something for literally every level of user, from first timers, to long time veterans. They also have a rotating selection of daily deals/discounts that can be a really good deals! So if you're looking for a classy dispensary with a great selection of products to choose from, then I "highly" recommend checking them out.
I came into this shop for the first time recently and its the first cannabis shop I've been to so I was a little nervous. I liked the vibe that the whole place gave off in general and the employees all seemed happy to help you with whatever it was you needed. I worked with Daniel on what I wanted and learned a lot about different kinds of strains and what to get for what you want. Daniel had a lot of knowledge to offer on the product and made me feel at home while inside the shop. Would definitely recommend coming back just because of that experience! Customer service is very important in this industry so that you know what you're getting, (highly) recommend this shop and their employees.
I've only been here one time. I may review again later but I am extremely pleased with the customer service. I purchased the JuJu Joint - Sweet and Sour Kush and a Peanut Butter Cookie. This was my first JuJu Joint. I got one after reading all the reviews on it. I like how small and discrete it is. I took a few puffs and it didn't take long to feel its effects. The Sweet and Sour Kush is definitely a strand that can be used on a more day to day basis. It doesn't leave you smelling like weed either. The Green Theory staff were very educational and friendly. Even the security guard took the time to answer questions. I believe the person helping me was named Rachel. She told me but I'm very bad with names. She described many of the products and was very patient with me. The atmosphere was very chill. No one was creepy. Buying pot was as normal as buying shoes at the mall. As I write this review the few puffs I took off the JuJu Joint are really kicking in. Did I mention they were reasonably priced as far as local retail pot shops? Anyways I would definitely recommend them as the local neighborhood pot shop.
Was visiting Bellevue and had the opportunity to go to Green Theory a couple of times. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Special shout out to S, this lovely lady knows her weed. She was very helpful in educating me on all the options. All around great experience. Highly recommend KoF TriCone!
I've come to this store a few times since it has opened. The people who work here are phenomenal. They're polite and knowledgeable about their product. The daily price is inconsistent -- I purchased a Juju Joint for $68 on Monday and they were $90 on Friday. Patrons claim the price is due to other pot shops selling for more, but the nearest pot shop (10 miles) is selling their same quality stock for much lower ($60 with tax). They also don't have too much in the way of selection, though that may change in the next few weeks. I will update this review periodically as I check in on this cannabis boutique.
I can always tell upon entering if a location feels clean or not. I could tell this store was very clean and well kept. The staff was friendly and greeted me with smiles. A woman budtender (I didn't catch her name) helped me find what I was looking for and helped me get the most bang for my buck within the budget I was willing to spend. I ended up walking out with my traditional Northern Lights (which came in an amazing glass jar) and some Plushberry. Great selection of indica for you indica fans like me. Prices were reasonable as well. Décor was on point.
Staff not helpful, bad prices. Would not go to again.
Best shop in the state--no question. Soon as you walk in you notice the professional atmosphere and don't feel like you're anywhere shady. Store selection is incredibly varied and prices are best I've found and as competitive as anywhere else. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well--Ari in particular is super helpful and really knows his stuff; he gave me great recommendations on both flower and cartridges. I went out of my way to visit every shop in the Eastside/Seattle area when they all opened and this is the only place I return to regularly.
Love this store. Friendly staff and they are very helpful. The store is clean and welcoming. Parking isn't great but there is a seperate lot for extra parking if the front lot is full. They have tons of product in stock and I feel they have competitive prices for the most part. The place is very visually appealing and there is ample space to be left alone to browse. They also have a lot of glass and smoking products such as pens, filters, papers, etc so you will not have to stop at a head shop if you are new to the industry.
Green Theory is centrally located in downtown Bellevue, has a clean and professional atmosphere, and always has specials available. The staff are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Though the prices aren't the most competitive in the greater Seattle area, the quality of their products can be counted on, and the frequently available discounts provide extra incentive to shop with them.
Best staff in WA. I learn something new from them all the time. If you don't think you know enough about bud to make good decions, they take good care of you, never let me down yet. The woman who helped me today was explaining how the tearpines can make a strain more relaxing or alert. Blew my mind how little we know really. Good selection, friendly (and attractive) staff, and a smart bunch of weed experts. Other stores don't come close to hitting all the marks like green theory.
Unfriendly but knowledgable
I was incorrectly informed by a ill-trained employee about the return policy. I told her a wasn't sure that the cartridges they offer are the right size or would fit in the new vape pen I just bought. She assured me I could return it if it didn't fir right. I then returned 3 days later expecting to return it, because it didn't fit, but then was told by a manger that they don't do that. He gave me no refund but only a 20 percent discount. on my next purchase...that does not make up for the $45 I spent on that cartridge. I hope they train employees better in the future.
