Was working seasonally up in Maine and after a disappointing stop at a recreational dispensary found this place. Boy I am glad I started coming here. Somebody still cares about quality they test your cartridges you purchase. They manicure their flower better than any place I have ever seen. They take the time to explain everything which is important coming from out of state. Liam and Jami (not sure of spelling) are the best, I learned so much from both. Hope to be able to come back next year.
Yes.

I have been buying from this company for years up until the last Couple months I would not have had a complaint customer service is everything in my opinion I used to be able to call in ask if they had what I wanted in stock and now rather than just tell me I have to go to this damn app and I'm referred to this app every time I don't want to have this app on my phone for anything I find it rather rude and discourteous if I give a shit about your product enough to call and see if you have it the least you can do is tell me if you do Give a shit about your customerIt's a real let down Compared to the friendly person I used to have on the other end of the phone If it wasn't for the fact that you guys have the prices you do I would have went somewhere else the 1st time this happened Perhaps it's the price that is that entitled you guys to hack down your customer service?
Dispensary response:
Good Afternoon! When you called earlier, you asked what we had for value flower available. The reason we keep asking that you use Leafly to see our menu (which does not require downloading an app, they have a full website available), is because we currently have 47 strains of value flower on our shelves, which is quite a lot to cover over the phone, especially when we have customers already waiting patiently in the store. You then asked if we had any $7.50 eighths, which we have not offered in quite some time. We are sorry that you somehow found this rude or unfriendly, but as our inventory continues to grow, we need to take steps to be as efficient as possible.
Have a great day!

The service here is the best!!! I've been waited on by the same guy every time and he always has all the information I want and need. The prices are great, I only get edibles and concentrate but so far, no complaints! Definitely going to keep going back here!

Was a loyal customer to this place for awhile, get much shatter and flower from here. Last time I went I purchased two grams of shatter, and in one of the packages there were hairs (looked like eyelashes embedded in the product). I took the product back after I had realized and they told me there was nothing they could do. Lost a customer here for sure, make sure you check your product when you make a purchase here
I did my first ever order on Leafly.com. This is my first time being prescribed a med card. I was impressed that they let me use my digital card while mines in the mail. I picked out a variety of edibles and 2 prerolled joints. I will use Leafly again and will return to holistic alternatives for sure! Thanks! Fast friendly service.

This place use to be good last year up till January of this year. Quality isn't there anymore. Topshelf weed still has seeds in it. Normal eighths are barley trimmed, get shaker weed, and had dying wilted leaves still on the nugs. Prices are cheap. Not sure if they're harvesting too soon, too late, or doing wet trim which screws over the quality. I've been been going to this place for over a year and spent lots of money. But won't go back till the quality is fixed. If you don't believe this. Buy weed from them and go to another place. Look at the difference in quality. 25 for 8th should be good looking healthy weed. 35 for 8th topshelf should be 100%perfect.
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your feedback. There have been a lot of changes since January and more quality control on our end. Hope to see you in here again and hopefully it will be a better experience for you. We strive to always have the best products on our topshelf and we appreciate any feedback about our products so we can try and mitigate the situation and fix it. I hope you have a great day!

Bought shatter that taste like straight butane. Had a patient try them as well and agreed. Called to let someone know and was told there is NOTHING they could do. Any place I have had a problem, a refund or some kind gesture happens. Horrible product and even worse customer service.
Simple, easy, friendly staff, and convenient!! I will be a repeat customer!!

Thank you so much for the kind feedback, hope to see you soon!

The one complaint is the lack of menu updates on here. I like to know that they have a certain strain before making the drive.
Everything else - quality, service and product were top notch. I will be visiting again.

Great atmosphere. Great service. Great product. From edibles to concentrate to flower. One of my favorites. They also value the Veteran community with their discount. One of the best shops on the coast.

Another great shop in the mid-coast! Employees are great and helpful, products are kick ass! U gotta check out their ‘gold rush’ section, love that stuff. Keep doin what your doing! P.s. Drop the non-member prices!! Not good for peeps just outside your “zone”, (like me)! But I’m in every few weeks. Thanks.
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your kind review. Ask and you shall receive, we have dropped those non-member prices!! We hope to see you again soon :)

I enjoy stopping in there because the employees are very generous. They always greet you with a friendly welcome and they have knowledge about information on strains and suggestions based on ur needs when you enter. They conversate well with customers and make you feel like part of the family. They used to have discounts for members. They did away with the discounts and now you can build store credits over time as a repeat customer.... That's kind of a discouragement because the savings aren't quite as good as the member discount savings were. I really enjoy trying all the different strains they have in. Very friendly atmosphere. Service is quick. And they have strains for all sorts of different preferences. I am discouraged that they don't generally carry mob. But they do get some tasty strains in.
Dispensary response:
Sorry to hear that you miss the member discount, but it hasn't really gone anywhere. We kept the member prices, added daily deals and the store credit you mentioned. It works out to be a much better deal for everyone, not just a few members. Also, thanks for your review and business. 🤗

Went here for the first time today and felt very comfortable. I explained what I was looking for and they were able to point me in the right direction. After some use with the product I feel much better and will be returning. Thank you Holistic Alternatives!!

Came from out of town and needed my meds. This place has everything you need or could want at a great price. Top that off with awsome customer service. I really enjoyed this place, made me feel welcome.

There are so many top quality shops in the area...holistic alternatives is no longer one of them. They were pretty good last year but their drop off in quality and piss poor customer service of recent has led me to a new shop
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your feedback. We strive to offer the best quality products and I am sorry you felt you didn't get that. We have had some switches in staffing and are working hard to offer you the best customer service as well! We hope to see you again soon to make things right. Have a great day!
