Nectar - Eugene River

I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this place since it opened...and it continues to be a tricky relationship. They do have a pretty awesome selection of products. Their flower selection is generally well-curated and the diversity of pricing accurately correlates to quality offered. There is something here for everyone's budget and taste. Their selection of cartridges is also impressive, and pricing on these seems very competitive. The general atmosphere and sleekness of their packaging is very appealing to those of us who appreciate aesthetics. Be warned that during peak times, this place can get busy and you might be waiting in line for a while. I've been less impressed with their staff over the years compared with other dispensaries in town. Their attempts at different versions of a loyalty program in the past years has been tricky, meaning that I lost accumulated points no fewer than three times. The young man who assisted me last time was so vague about the newest system, I couldn't even understand what "rewards" we're available. Their staff also seems to have a tendency to want to get you in and out quickly. Last time I barely had time to glance at the menu before the budtender was asking questions and quickly trying to narrow my focus and "suggest" seemingly random strains. I know what I like and can usually choose quickly, but these guys need to give me a minute to look at strains and numbers. Don't try to rush me like I'm at the damn McDonald's drive thru. That all being said, Nectar is worth a visit because of their diverse inventory. They also offer great deals and bundles from time to time, so that can make it worth tolerating their lackluster service. One last thing: their parking lot is a nightmare!

Always quick service and friendly staff

Nectar is quite pricey on flower, but damn good for the price. The atmosphere, the diversity of product for medical and recreational, and the friendly staff will keep me coming back again and again. They hooked me up with a great pre-roll of my choice (Power-wreck), and I left feeling exceptional. Until I tried to leave the parking lot. Little bit tight there, but worth it.

I prefer Nectar because of their weekly special deals, prices and the quality of the bud and medicine choices. They care about their customers and they make sure the quality of the medicine is superior to other dispensaries. I always go to the River Rd location when I am in town. They have never let us down when it comes to freshness of the bud and deals on concentrates. I can depend on them to have a nice variety of strains in stock at all times and they always have a larger selection compared to ther shops. I love that they open super early in the morning (7am!) and I am always greeted upon entering. All of their staff is super knowledgeable about the medicine they carry and they cater to OMMP patients. I also love that they have a loyalty program that provides rewards for regular buyers. I always look forward to checking out what they have in stock. They take their time with me and I dont' feel rushed here, no matter how big the line behind me gets. And I also prefer Nectar because they keep the medicine in glass, versus plastic. I can easily reuse the containers when the medicine runs out. Thank you for caring about our planet and not contributing to the waste of the rec industry.
