This is a great spot. Selection is on point. From glass to hand rolled joints they got you covered.

Really truely one of our FAVORITE dispensaries. We literally have a dispensary 2 blocks from our house, but will drive the short drive here for all of our weed (sometimes we pick up a stray preroll elsewhere but not often) We usually see the girls, sweet and friendly. We know theres a guy or two working there, they are nice as well, but have only seen them a couple times. Such a comfy environment as well. Quality stuff, great prices, friendly & relaxing atmosphere. We love you!

Forget all other spots in se, Pakalolo is where your going to find the best selection and most knowledgeable staff. They can always tell you what every strain is like and which new edible or shatter is their favorite. It's my first and last stop for everything. Mahalo

Pakalolo was so warm and cozy when I stepped in from another rainy Portland day that I forgot why I came in for a second and just played with a roly-poly Pug by the fireplace. I felt more like I was in someone's living room than a store, except for the tasteful display of marijuana on the shelves, there were planters with big green leaves sprouting out of them everywhere. The staff were friendly, casual, and engaging with a lot of knowledge about their product and enough experience with the strains they sold to offer personalized recommendations. I didn't feel rushed, I felt like the budtender understood what I was looking for, and she was really great at helping me find what I wanted. If I could improve one thing about Pakalolo, it would be to display their Black Cherry Soda in a clear, rather than a frosted glass container. It's as black as Batman, all through the leaf, and as soon as I saw it I immediately wanted to buy as much as I could carry. I bet a lot of people would have that reaction if they could see it. Lastly, the high from Black Cherry Soda is phenomenal. The gal at the store told me it will lean Indica or Sativa based on variables, and she was totally right. This is a complex, nuanced bud, and I'm going back for more as soon as they open again on Monday.

I first went to this dispensary because it's on my way home from work. I keep coming back because of the fantastic customer service. I am completely ignorant when it comes to smoking - I only ever had what was available at a party or through a friend so I don't know the ins and outs - but I never feel stupid asking the stupidest questions :) They walk me through everything and I feel like I'm learning how to appreciate the different kinds of highs and become a connoisseur, not just an amateur. Thanks, guys!

I went to Pakalolo for the first time last week and was very pleased with my experience. As I walked in, I noticed how it was very clean and organized inside, with the flowers on one side and the concentrates on the other. The budtenders were extremely friendly and helpful with flower recommendations and suggestions. With some unique and rare flower options, their prices were very reasonable and the quality was fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Pakalolo to a friend and will definitely be back myself.

Holy cow! This place is AMAZING! I went in a few weeks back and wow. The gentleman that helped me was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the strains he had. I really wish this place was near my house because the herb I got generated one of those "holy shit this is the greatest things ever" moment. The kind of moment that you end up trying to successfully recreate by going to other shops and smoking their lesser quality versions. Anyways stop here, pet the dogs, order your bud, pet the dogs some more and then go home and enjoy! 10/10 would most certainly come back on my next max trip.

Of all the dispensaries I've visited since rec legalization, this is probably my favorite. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and there is almost always a duo of super friendly and adorable dogs to greet you! Great bud and dogs are my two vices. The staff takes your concerns and symptoms seriously even if you're a rec customer! I suffer from muscle spasms, insomnia and migraines, and Justin and the super knowledgeable female budtender with glasses (don't know her name, but she knows her stuff and is very helpful!) talked me through a few strains that could help and I walked out with the best Cherry Pie I've had in Portland. Have already been back twice to snag a bit more. The atmosphere is super relaxing and welcoming, even when it's crowded. The staff always encourages me to bring my dog, and my furry friend loves the place almost as much as I do :) These are real people, who want you to have the best experience possible. Check them out!

love this place. They're dog friendly, which is pretty damn cool. They sell The Factory nitrogen sealed 1/8's for the best price in town. The rest of their selection is on point too, lots of nice bud all around. Best joint rollers I've seen around too. Almost rolled art.

I really enjoyed the coziness of this bungalow style house dispensary. It has orange walls, a fireplace and two friendly dogs that greet you. The owner took time to personally show us various strains and concentrates. He also have us a tasty caviar joint for our first time ommp visit. We came home with some Heisenberg Kush BHO.Its delicious. We will be back. Thank you.

Pakalōlō PDX was the crown jewel of our 2016 croptober mainland experience, the cherry on top of a flavorful trip to where terpenes abound, a inside glimpse into how it is really going down around town - Pakalōlō PDX provides a Aloha embassy experience where the visitor is transported to a tropical paradise, plants (not just the Pakalōlō but they get Hawaiian Pakalōlō too) and animals (the dog is Maui born even!!!) and of course the Aloha Spirit that ever visitor is treated too - The Flower is all top shelf and return visitors get %20 off their purchase once they fill up the stylee plumeria punch card - prices are perfect and the 'Ohana (family) at Pakalōlō PDX will make sure you are happy with your experience, we sure were; we sampled Obama Kush, SFV OG, the best concentrate in the state and a phatty boom batty house pre-roll, for the truly ambitious MEDICAL ONLY patient who like burn one Hawaiian style 10 gram doobie!!! We love Pakalōlō PDX so much we decided to release our Moloka'i Frost seed drop at Pakalōlō PDX as well as stock the shelves with Pua Mana Pakalōlō, 'Ano 'Ano (seeds) and all of our new products under development, we even have plans to cross the stanky Pineapple Fields cut Bradda Justin gifted our 'Ohana with our Moloka'i Frost kane (male) knicknamed: Father Damian (the priest who stayed in the valley with the Hawaiian people quarantined with leprosy until 1969 on Moloka'i) or frosty the snowman) to create Moloka'i Pineapple Fields, the stinkiest pineapple strain bred with the most crystallized chronic cripz hailing from the island of Moloka'i...stay tuned Moloka'i Frost and her supa 'ono (delicious) keiki (child) Moloka'i Pineapple Fields... coming soon to Pakalōlō PDX...

Everyone there is high. The staff are high. The customers are high. Sometimes they have dogs. The dogs are also high. Overall, a great location.

First went because it was the closest. Now I go there because it is the best. Best people best product.

My wife and I liked this place as soon as we walked in. Greeted with smile. The service was great! The bud-tender listened and made the conversation going! The atmosphere is perfect! Very good quality bud and good prices! Super convenience, steps off the orange line Holgate Max stop! We will be back!

QUALITY: 5 stars...The old saying "the proof is in the pudding" is perfect for the professional products provided by PakalōlōPDX! The cut of SFV OG is the real deal and honestly is more authentic then the majority of the California dispensary "SFV OG" cuts, the original SFV OG is a Chem Dawg pheno that was passed around underground, there are many SFV OG'z on many shelves but only one true SFV cut, and that cut is on the shelves of PakalōlōPDX!! To understand what makes this cut special one must delve deep into one of the most epic Pakalōlō legends of our time: The original Chem Dawg cut from the 13 seeds acquired via a lb of D.O.G. bud from OR at a Grateful Dead concert in CO back in 1991 by the grower and breeder Chem Dawg (everyone still with me, those of you who know dakine know dakine, those of you new to the wild world of OG load up a phat dab and hold on this will be a epic ride to cloud 9 OG style) ... this legendary cut was passed to growers in NYC and CA after Chem Dawg ran the cut in Mass. (the wonderful world of weed) the old school heads who grew the Chem Dawg cut in NYC changed the name to NYC Diesel due to her pungent gas aroma and effect and in Cali she became known as OG Kush after a breeding project crossing the Chem Dawg cut known as SFV OG at this time with a landrace Indica from the Pakistan Valley high up in the Kush mountains to give her that Kush also known to the Gangster rappers as OG Kush for Original Gangster Kush meaning the landrace Indica was a "original gangster kush" due to the fact she was a landrace and in fact a OG... some of the most amazing Pakalōlō on the planet was born and the SFV OG (Chem Dawg aka OG Kush x Pakistan Valley Kush landrace Indica aka OG Kush) hit the streets, hence the confusion surrounding the strain names originating in the San Fernando Valley of California...All of the SFV cuts prior to the Paki Kush hybridization are straight Chem Dawg and can easily be mistaken for NYC Diesel in the Sativa dominant growth and the diesel scent, this is the cut Pakalōlō has on their shelves, the unadulterated old school Chem Dawg aka SFV OG!!! The SFV OG Kush that was hit with the Paki Kush is the Indica dominant pheno circulating under the same name, a epic cut no doubt also worthy of the name SFV OG Kush or the more popular west coast moniker: OG Kush...We loved the service and atmosphere as well as the Pakalōlō so much at PakalōlōPDX we decided to hook the PakalōlōPDX 'Ohana up with the original Pakistan Valley Kush landrace Indica aka OG Kush cut from our 'Ohana at OrganicGreensCollective in SoCal...if anyone is confused as to the difference between the OG Kush that is the Chem Dawg cut, the OG Kush that is Chem Dawg x Paki Kush or the OG Kush that is actually a OG landrace strain: Pakistan Valley Kush, cruz over to PakalōlōPDX and the 'Ohana can provide you with all of the above, hand rolled and prepared with love... Love = Aloha

I really think it's going to come down to location and who you want to deal with as this industry grows. This shop is sure to earn my business. Great meds at a good price point. Owed by a swell couple who are pleasant to talk to and super knowledgeable. Defiantly going back.

This place thinks more about their customers than anyplace I have been. If they don't have what you are looking for they will get on the phone and get it for you. I love a business that emails you when your product is in stock. They look after me before and after the sale. The take the term "value added" to new heights!

Every time I stop in to Pakalolo, I feel so welcomed. They've got a great selection of flower and edibles, especially gluten-free and low sugar options which are difficult to come by. Justin is always so helpful and explains all of the products in great detail. Located in an old bungalow house, it has been renovated beautifully. This is a must stop shop!

They had a very sweet Obama Kush, which I enjoyed with Gorilla Glue #4 BHO extract by Regis Philburn on top. This was my morning pancakes smothered in syrup. Good job guys, quality and a cool location.
