Great tip about ordering online—it’s a fantastic way to streamline your visit. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again soon!

I had to share via this format, as Google wasn't cooperating with me. I'm an " industry " person. I choose to shop at Starbuds, especially the Riverside location. I don't live far from there,but I do pass by a handful of dispos' to get there. Here's my awesome reasons for going to Starbuds- Riverside. ::::: All eyes are on you when you arrive- in a positive way. Chances are good that you're greeted by your name. I was chatting it up with one of the partners- Mousa- as I often do. He knew that I'd been judging sativa flower for the Cannabis Cup, and needed something different. His choice for me was Lusty Lady, from BLAZE ( a Starbuds house brand). I can bore you with the nerd- in-me terpine specs,but I won't. I could geek out on the colors of dark purple, orange and green in the nuggs.- I'm not going to do that either. My experiences there NEVER feel just transactional. I met a new Budtender there. His name is Cameron. With every new team member I encounter, I envy them. The teamwork is making some dreams WORK! Please don't stop doing what you do.

Dispensary response:

Thank you for taking the time to share your incredible experience at Starbuds, Riverside! It's fantastic to hear that you choose our dispensary, even though you pass by others, and that you've had such a positive and personal experience. It's clear that the staff at Starbuds, especially Mousa and Cameron, go above and beyond to create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Their attention to detail and product recommendations, like Lusty Lady from BLAZE, showcase their commitment to ensuring customers like you have a memorable and enjoyable visit. We appreciate your support and your feedback about your experiences not feeling transactional but more like genuine interactions. We're dedicated to maintaining this level of service and teamwork to make dreams work. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to continuing to serve you in the future! 😊🌿🛍️
