Greenside Recreational - Des Moines

Des Moines is quite a drive for me, coming from Bothell, but I was looking for a specific strain of flower and Greenside was the only place I could find it listed on the menu. After fighting traffic and schlepping thru the pouring rain to get there I was very pleasantly surprised - the place is REALLY clean, nicely organized and efficiently run. All the flowers are already bagged in grams, eighths, quarters, etc., so it's easy and quick to get exactly as much as desired. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable - even with the long drive I will definitely be back. Thanks!

I absolutely love this store. 2nd time I actually made purchases. The staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgable, fun and upbeat, and very professional. I purchased Sour Diesel and Durban Poison from Cannasol Farms and Blue Bubba from Farmer J's. The Diesel and the Durban smoked terribly. They were so harsh. Flavor lasted 2 bowl hits and then I had to kick the bowl which means there was no cure process. And there was mold in the sour diesel (I have grown cannabis so I know what mold looks like). Cannasol was very disappointing I was disgusted. I paid a lot of money for garbage. The Blue Bubba however was excellent. It smoked beautifully, it was so fragrant and smooth. My high was perfect. Blue dream is one of my favorite strains and I enjoy Bubba so the two together were fantastic. Farmer J's I will be purchasing more from you! I will be back to Greenside to try more of their products and get advice on what farm to not buy from (Cannasol)

I absolutely love Greenside. They have the largest selections I've seen in a recreational store thus far. The budtenders are incredibly knowledgable, and friendly. They even have a full service glass shop in the front of the store so you can get everything in one place!

This location is on a busy street about 7 mins south from the airport which made it easy to drop in while I was on layover to see my sister in Alaska! great service!

perfect location, great service & nice people....major plus cause I just moved here not to mention there's a beautiful purple hair woman there lol

A bit to industrial for my tastes, but clean. Staff is very friendly, but the line system they have has to go. Figure out how to do proper stop loss and sell it like any other store. Worst thing here, and I understand it is common across the WA industry, is the prices. Recreational prices are DOUBLE what medical costs. Blaming the taxes is fine, but then it should be 35% more, not 100%. This customer gouging means that when there is more competition, the customers WILL remember and vote with their pocket-books. As it is, the cost of getting the medical card is more than covered by this huge markup, so the better route I will be taking until recreational market prices come into the land of the realistic.

Love this location! Love their new menu's they just got in! Thanks for being the best shop in the area!

Alright, here's my review on the 6th recreational shop I've visited in the Seattle Area. (Uncle Ike's, BelMar, Dockside, Rain City, and Ocean Greens) Definitely the best experience I've had so far, service wise! Doorman/security was very polite (always a good start), and I was moved over to one of maybe 5 stations set up. They had most of their products available in a glass case in front of you with specials/concentrates on a screen behind them. The budtender was knowledgeable, friendly, and very cute as well :). I asked for recommendations on an indica and a hybrid and she was able to help me find a couple grams in my price range. Honestly the attitudes of everyone in there made the experience that much better. Everyone was upbeat, smiling, and there were good vibes all around. Just 2 small suggestions - fill some of the potholes in your parking lot and have a more updated menu. Other then that, great place!

I have shopped here many times. Me and my wife used to stop in a couple times a week. Mostly extracts, sometimes a couple 1 gram baggies to go along with it. Even after many times coming here the security guards still ask us to take our ID's out of their holders, where they are held up to the light and scrutinized. There are several different guards, all with nicknames on their security badges. If I can recall correctly, I believe there is Mr. Klean- of course he's a bald guy--then there is The Knuckler..Yikes, that sounds pretty scary, I hope he doesn't carry around rubber gloves and K-Y in his back pocket. I think another is : Inmate # 934520566.....Just kidding, but just sayin'....The parking lot outside is a big unsupervised gravel lot. We have been approached a few times by the local unsavory characters needing a donation to their favorite academic institution_ or a Four-O of the highest decibel malt beverage known to mankind. So you may want to bring your shank, cause just like Axl says..This is the jungle baby, and you're gonna die!!

Awkward store setup but extremely helpful and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visiting again.

I wasn't impressed . It seemed kind of ghetto not going back

Don't like the whole lay out of this store. All you do is wait in line. Even when I was done purchasing my weed then went to the glass section and decided to get something else the worker said go back in line. I don't understand they have so many workers there with one register but as you see that there's multiple registers sitting around but they're not using it there using one it almost seems like it's like an auction store you even have a bunch of people are in the parking lot all hanging out together little ridiculous go home. I will not be visiting the store again this is the second time never liked it the first time in the beginning and I would not recommend this to a friend

Odd that it's on an ugly, out of the way and unsafe location with probably the cheapest rent of any weed store and their prices are higher than the best prices in Bellevue.

They have so, so many different strains, edibles, and concentrates it makes your head spin. In fact, they have strains that are not even on their web site....

Paige is awesome! she needs a raise.

Great selection of products, prices could be better. Bought a Legal beverage elsewhere for $16 Greenside priced theirs at $22. I get the impression that Greenside let's their employees work high. I think this promotes a bad image in many ways.

bad location, overpriced products, really rude doormen

Greeted by friendly and knowledgable staff! Great selection of various different strains! I'm someone who is use to medical dispensary prices but find that the prices here are fair! I highly recommend this dispensary to all!

I love this location. They have a large parking lot with free parking. The staff is super-friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend stopping in!

Pretty sure one if the managers is named Danny. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and for me the best part is he is a FISHERMEN! Nothing like bs'ing about good tokes and talking fishing. I'll be back just to shoot the sh!t with him! But of course he'll have something new that will melt my face off that I'll end up going home with! Anything grown by fireline for instance...cherry pie or alien rock candy has been unbelievable.

nice workers, great selection, good looking women. easy to see why my connect isn't getting many calls these days.

Real great just got some pre rolled joints that got me on a good level

I would like go start with your store is so poorly labeled I missed the store the first time. After looking your location up online and seeing on your location had 1 gram of Ak45 co2 for $65 and when I arrived I am told no is a 1/2 gram for $65 not having my phone on me I could not show the counter help there site says otherwise. I felt mislead into coming to the location when I could have gone elsewhere and receive a much higher quality of products as well. Dissatisfaction with the whole experience was enough to say I will never be coming back.

Location is great David was a great help.
