Decent quality for pre-packaged nug, tough location if you drive, staff is pretty alright. I prefer my budtender to acutally tend my bud as opposed to just pick pre-filled jars.
Staff are all attractive younger Boulder kids & have a good vibe mostly. They took the time to talk with my older Aunt & Uncle when they visited & didnt make them feel like dumb tourists.
I only shop here in a pinch. I used to lots more before they redesigned the lobby & had an armed gaurd checking ID's (wtf was that about?!).
They are kind of the wal-mart of Boulder pot shops. You will leave with what you came for at a affordable price, but its by know means a craft experience.

they were absolutely great, did everything by the book for covid, and their bear box deals on wax 8gs of tops shelf wax for 110$ out the door before 10 AM!?!?! Best deal in town for concentrates, staff was always great, definitely going to make them my wax stop every time I come in town to go hiking!

As far as product goes this place is outstanding👍 as far as customer service goes very poor 😑And as far as stock goes always out before you get there!!🤬, even if you call their menus probly won't be updated yet from the day before they say call to order ahead...But what's the point if you're taking a 100 orders A-day like that!!! No wonder why you run out of product so fast and then you say go to your other store in the South, but they're out too! so I've been to this place 6 times, out of 5 times they didn't have anything I went for!

Horrifying racist and misogynistic male staff behind the counter at this establishment. I walked in as a first time female customer, answered my phone, after not being explained any of the rules, and was promptly yelled at by some white guy behind the counter “to get out” of his store. He was completely respectful to the other white male customer he was already attending, but yelled at me because I answered my phone. I politely explained as I walked in that I was a first time customer - so why wasn’t the “no phone” rule explained to me beforehand? I was shocked at how this man treated me. Avoid this place at all costs!

Budtender was far less than friendly and must have thought my girlfriend and I were undercover agents or something because she robotically recited all of the laws and rules for out of state and in state buyers. Very disappointing considering I would've bought much higher quantities had the service been friendly. Not sure why a staff member would take it upon themselves to treat paying customers as such without any justification but the good news is that there are countless dispensaries ready to treat their customers better. The terrapin care station in Denver on the other hand is top notch. ALL my friends and associates will be duly warned to spend their money anywhere but Terrapin Boulder....
Dispensary response:
Hi Funnytoker70,
We're sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience here at Terrapin in Boulder! While we pride ourselves on our staff's knowledge of applicable compliance laws it is disheartening to hear that you felt you were being treated poorly. On reflection, we suspect that your budtender really wasn't trying to be rude, but rather just to be informative. In situations were staff believe something is not compliant, we would handle the situation somewhat differently than just explaining the law (i.e. stopping the sale, as is required by law); hence, we think this might just have been a case of crossed wires that resulted in the budtender coming across as abrasive. Our staff endeavor to provide our customers with amazing product in a thoroughly compliant fashion - we apologize if anything about this interaction came across as rude. Boulder's laws in particular are more in-depth than some other municipalities in Colorado, and this can sometimes be a lot of information to impart to the customer. We very much value your patronage, as does the Terrapin in Denver, and we'd love to know about anything else you feel we can do better - feel free to reach out to the Store Manager at james@terrapincarestation.com to let him know any further details if you feel so inclined. We apologize for any misunderstanding, and we hope to see you again soon!

One of my biggest issues with the cannabis industry is that businesses feel the need to mislead their customers with FALSE ADVERTISING. Up until recently, this was not an issue I had with Terrapin. It is now. Today having purchased two half ounces, one of GG and one of Hells OG I found that the Hells OG advertised at 32% showed on the container to have a range of 23.95 to 27.35 THC. The GG is advertised at 29% and on the container is shows a range of 22.69 to 26.16. I do not see the point in this. All that happens is a customer feels misled and upset when there is no need for it. It is what it is. Tell it like it is or customers will shop elsewhere.

What a fantastic spot. Clean, professional AND welcoming. The team was so nice and helpful can't wait to go back!

Terrapin has a very cozy waiting room with menus for you to look at. They run some pretty good specials and the bud tenders are awesome! I like that when I go I usually see someone I know. Would highly recommend.

Great looking selection and a great atmosphere. Dry budds tho..

Super hit or miss for me. Some of the budtenders seem happy to be there and to serve you based on your individual needs and wants. Yet others expect you to be the ‘pro’. Shoutout to all the personable budtenders out there asking the costumers wants and needs and not just “what do you want”. It’s also nice when you get a small background of the strain you are going to purchase if it is your first use of the product.

Great location and great prices on shatter. They had Willies reserve, but no really good flower that I was made aware

Great place. Great customer service. Only thing is giving people multiple packages for large purchases is ridiculous. I purchased an oz and got like 10 small containers. There has to be a way around this. Any ways still love you guys.

Great bud, great options and fun bud tenders! The first bud tender we had recited all the rules to us right away which was a little off-putting but she was very nice otherwise. We even liked it so much we came back two days later to get some more!
Dispensary response:
Hi Rebeccathwing!
We're so glad you had a good time here at Terrapin Folsom! We're proud that our budtenders are well-informed about the law - we're sorry if that put you off at all! Our budtending team is trained in the specific compliance laws that we must follow in order to keep weed legal for the 21+ people of Colorado, and we're willing to bet she was just a little eager to demonstrate her knowledge. That said, we're very happy to hear you enjoyed your visit and ESPECIALLY happy to hear you enjoyed the bud! Thanks for reaching out to let us know what your visit was like - we hope to see you again soon!

really great staff and amazing deals, a Costco of cannabis.

The security guard, who took his job seriously (for some, based on other reviews here, too seriously), took our IDs, then handed them to the friendly front desk clerk, who put them in a queue of other IDs on plastic shelves on the wall. The waiting room was spacious and comfy, with nice couches and reading material.
After ~5 minutes, we were happily called back. Our budtender was fun, open, and friendly, knowledgeably chatted with us about various strains, and was zero pressure about taking our time.
A mixed ounce (1/4 The Wife, 3/8 Bruce Banner, 3/8 Pineapple Fields) of what’s turning out to be high quality flower was $142 OTD! What?!
This is my new go-to recreational dispensary.

Great customer Service- Especially the woman who greets you in the waiting room. Budtenders are cool and fairly knowledgeable as well. They also get you in and out very quickly despite how busy they are.
Weed is OK but like most Colorado weed- most strains look and burn about the same. Some strains also seem to be picked early which results in a speedy buzz. If picked early most strains don't have a chance to produce CBD and CBN. These make you relaxed. NO CBD and you tend to oversmoke it -looking for the calm that never comes.
I've been smoking and growing for 35 years and have smoked some of the worlds best in Amsterdam on several occasions. I think I know about that...think I know about THAT.
Terrapin has a $45 mix and match BARGAIN weed isn't a bad deal and they usually have about 3 kinds to choose from. Wednesday is wax day- 15% off $36 -$50 wax is a really good deal. They also have a a 420 club- register your phone number and after you spend $420 you get a $42 credit toward future purchases.
Overall- a well run decent place. But if you want the best weed in the world- get premium seeds from Arjan or Neville in Amsterdam and GROW YOUR OWN!!
Peace out !
