Wonderful experiences here. Thomas in particular was super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Would recommend, especially to first time or newer consumers.

I just went to this dispensary for the first time. It's a great little place with a good selection. The guy working this evening was very pleasant & helpful. I pre-ordered Cookie Fetish, so I was just picking up. I did notice the budtender was very helpful to another customer & knowledgable about their products. The customer was looking for a particular weed that they didn't have in stock. He made several excellent recommendations based on what the guy was looking for in his experience. I'll definitely go there again. BTW: I needed something for my chronic pain & insomnia. Cookie Fetish definitely filled the bill.

i've been going to their hawthorne location for about six months. i love the staff and location. i basically only go for dabs, but i don't think they've changed their selection for the past six months. they only have 8-10 strains from hush or bobsled that literally have never changed. other local dispensaries have a greater variety of brands, or even more strains from bobsled/hush, and for $3-4 cheaper. i may return in a pinch but unless they greatly expand their strains and brands (or adjust their prices to be more competitive) i don't think i will continue shopping here.

Disgusting staff. Dude was blowing boogers into plastic straws when I was trying to get my drugs. My Kaya Shack drug dealer was sniffing all the containers and his nose was dirty. Floors are never cleaned and it smells like a wet dog in here daily.

Still smokin' on the $4 half Oz, Haha, I am diggin' the Ice-Queen, very effective and tasty ! I just wrote a review, but have come back to write another after having seen the nasty comments left by the troll turds. 4/20 was my first time to visit Kaya Shack. I saw the deal here on Leafly and showed up a couple of hours early. I don't know anyone who works their and have nothing to benefit, from taking the time to write a comment. But the flower I got was good, they do have some old strains, and I am glad to be able to revisit them. I tried four different strains, one was incredible, the others were very good too. They all smoked clean and were effective. The regular patients I met in line were real good people, I felt community and that is what this culture is supposed to be about, coming together to overcome. Sorry troll turds, but this place rocks, Were you number 51 in line on 4/20 ? Pipes for Peace !

This was my first time in and wow! I feel it's the first place that knows what they are talking about. I got a couple different strains and they were all very high quality. I don't know what is better the amazingly friendly atmosphere or the very high quality of flower. I see other people bashing on the flower quality and I can think of 10 places off the top of my head that I will never return to because of flower quality and friendly atmosphere. I would recommend this place to first timers or seasoned veteran in the cannabis world. I would give this store a 10 if I could so 5 stars will do. BTW I read some comments saying good reviews come from employees there and I will say this I know no one there before my first visit now I feel like I'm going to mammas house when I walk in

I've been going to Kaya Shack since they opened because I live in the assisted housing just blocks away. The service and quality of meds are declining fast but I still came back for the convenience but not anymore!
I won't support a place that's rude, lies, and makes racial comments. I'll take the bus down a few blocks just to be treated respectfully.

So glad we came here to kick off the 4/20 holiday! We showed up early and were rewarded for our wait with AMAZING 4/20 deals - hands-down the best in town! The near-GIVEAWAY flower deals for the first 50 customers were pre-packaged, with several available strains, and we loved both of our selections. On top of that, with no gram over $7 and no ounce over $140, we were able to try a few other things and nothing disappointed. A nice neighborhood shop; the entire staff was positive, friendly and clearly had good rapport with their regulars. We look forward to visiting again.

I am a regular customer at Kaya Shack even though there are some dispensaries closer to my home and work. I keep coming back for the fun sales, great quality, wonderful staff and uplifting atmosphere. There are some haters who love to hate this place. Ignore them. Portland has spoken and WE LOVE OUR KAYA SHACK!

Good quality flower and even better atmosphere. Very nice and helpful. I came into the shop looking for something for my back pain/depression and wow did they know what they were talking about. They set me up with the perfect combo of meds and it did just what I needed it to do. For anyone that wants a nice place to come for some flower try it you won't be sad

4/20 was my first time coming out to Kaya Shack, I came out for the $4 1/2 oz of flower. There were 4 choices and they were great strains and the buds looked amazing. I was expecting something like Mexican Dirt Weed for the price, but I was wrong. I had to wait for a hour in line but I would do it all over again, it was fun, meet new friends, saw old friends. Over all I'd do it again. Thank you Kaya Shack for all your hospitality.

Hey had to come back and write another review because I don't know why Jackie O is not on the strain menu here in Leafly! let me tell you it is just the bee's knee's! it's the most fruity citrusy smelling thing I have ever had plus it has such a surprisingly complex flavor behind it, only slight cotton mouth but really reminiscent of a pleasant afternoon after high school! Lol seriously though if you want a guaranteed relaxing smoke this is the way to go! seriously I can't get enough of this stuff!

I can't say enough GREAT things about this place. Top Shelf strains and they are always giving back to the community! I know a kid with cancer that they donated to---
And who got a $4 half on 420???
Mad LOVE to Kaya Shack!!

I think it's great that these guys were giving out $4.00 half ounces on 4/20 I appreciate what they do for patients. Bravo Kaya Shack! Keep up the good work!

I first discovered Kaya Shack a few months ago, and I wish I had found them sooner.
The budtenders are always super-laid back & friendly, very casual atmoshpere, and the gal that runs the place is really nice.
The strains are great (I can find Casey Jones when I'm looking for it, and the Jackie O is a fun variation of the Jack Herer strain), the prices are great, and the outdoor specials are tasty & easy on the pocket-book.
If you're into CO2 pens, they have a good selection of cartridges, and they've got OpenVape batteries for cheaper than I've seen anywhere else.
And lastly, the late-hours are a life-saver for me. I work a graveyard shift, and having those extra few hours to work with is a huge relief.
Seriously, check this place out. They don't get the attention they deserve.
Dispensary response:
thank you so much David :)
