I think it’s.a welcoming atmosphere. The person who helped me was nice, The products were of quality. Parking can be challenging during peak hours. OTOH, if one is shopping at the stores across the street, it’s a quick dash over and back.

I live on the other side of town, but was in the neighborhood in search of something specific. Not only did they have exactly what I was looking for (a particular kind of vape pen with a case and a high cbd cartridge), they had a good selection of prerolls, and the woman who helped me was helpful and good natured. All of the workers were friendly. I wasn't there for flower this time, but they seemed to have a pretty wide selection, nicely displayed in large glass jars. Conveniently located by New Seasons, Kennedy School, and Hot Lips pizza, if you want to make a day of it :) Super happy with my purchases, and the service I received.

I sent a copy of the following email to Uplift Botanicals at 5421 NE 33rd Avenue Portland, OR. Dispensaries today are eager to receive reviews from their customers for posting to your site when they are positive. This one is not positive but should probably be posted none the less.
TO: Business Owners
Yesterday I reviewed your link at leafly.com and found that you are selling Dream Lotus for $10 per gram. Today I dropped by your business and bought 2 grams of Dream Lotus and paid $26. Received no receipt, no caution notice, no camaraderie. Today I am again seeing the pricing at your business link to leafly remains at $10 per gram on the Leafly website after my purchase was made.
Poor representation of your business in my opinion. Your math doesn't add up. I am not inclined to be a repeat customer.
Doesn't seem to me that you want my business or that of other leafly customers.
The following is the response I received from Uplift Botanicals:
Just wanted to address your concerns and assure you that there's no intent to deceive you or any of our customers. I'm sorry that our Leafly page appeared confusing. It can be really hard for us to keep it up to date as well as accurate for both medical and recreational customers. The $10/g price on Dream Lotus is actually for medical patients. That said the reason that you paid $26 for 2 grams is due to the state imposed tax of 25% to all recreational customers which every dispensary has to charge. In our case we raise the rec price slightly to $10.40 a gram so that when you add the 25% sales tax it equals a round number which is $13 a gram. We would be happy to provide you a receipt for your purchase anytime and can still offer you one if you'd like which will break down the costs as I described. Anyhow I hope that at the least the Dream Lotus treated you well and please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can do.
Regards,
Team Uplift

Very impressed after one visit. Small, friendly shop with great variety of flower, including some unusual varieties. I like CBD-rich strains, so I was very pleased that they have so many of those -- five or six, instead of one or two as many shops have. And much of their flower is grown outdoors, at the farm they are affiliated with, Cannananda. The pricing structure is cool, too, with the two-gram option. And the prices seem good. I'll be back!

This is my closest shop, they have daily deals and reasonable prices in the first place. Much appreciated.

What a great place! The staff are cool people, always a pleasure to chat with and they are so knowledgeable. I also like how the place is always kept clean and tidy.

Love their assortment of concentrates. Especially CBD. I use CBD for chronic pain but can't afford a medical card. So I appreciate that they don't charge an arm and a leg for it. This place has a great vibe to it and the budtenders know their stuff. Will be back.

I have to say when this place first opened, I had a bad experience. A miscommunication about credit cards and I thought I would move on but I've gone back to this place since and they have only won my business but my respect.
Great products all across the board! Nice and selective. You get the owner really is taking pride in his selections. Top shelf weed at all price points. I adore the last selection I made but I'm not willing to share it in hopes I can clean them out of it.
If you shop here, you are most likely going to meet the owner and his wife and in my interactions with them,this is the kind of good people family small business I want to support.
I would highly recommend this store to the first time nervous housewife. Easily discrete access(park at Walgreens or New Seasons!) knowledgeable thoughtful staff that will walk you through it and it's a beautiful little place that's got a spa like feel.
Thanks Uplift! Props!

I love this store. I'm new to the area and have been to dispensaries all over Portland. I keep finding myself at this one though, and it's because of the wonderful employees who are knowledgeable and upbeat. Great prices! And if flower isn't your thing...they have many edible and vape options. GET UPLIFTED!

John and Das are always so fantastic. I've been to plenty of dispensaries but this is my go to. The budtenders are consistently wonderful, knowledgable, and very helpful. This store is clean and stocked with the some of the best buds in Potland. There are a lot of dispensaries closer to my home, however I will drive 30 minutes just to go to Uplift. I
HIGHLY recommend stopping by here! Pun intended 😊
Dispensary response:
Thanks for coming out of your way. Very much appreciated. We have some awesome clientele that make our days wonderful and uplifting!

These people were absolutely fantastic! My wife and I picked up a gram of Purple Hindu Kush BHO about 2 weeks ago for a visit to the NW Cannabis Club for vendor night- the atmosphere was on point, the staff were knowledgable and the product was very quality! Will definitely be coming in for future visits.

very friendly folks; moderate flower selection; had what I wanted at a great price! bright and airy for such a small retail floor; very zen/calming

Great location near head shop with quick friendly service, the prerolls I got were on point.

I’m so impressed with the flower. This is where to take a friend in town before you hit the cannabis club. The medical prices for this quality flower are unbeatable. They make stellar edibles (better than double the flower I purchased at a super popular place). The Rec deals are comparable to other places but the flower is so much better than anywhere I’ve been. Compare their Jack Herer strain if they have it in, or any standard; see if you agree.

People are cool, sun grown Sunday is lit! $20 8ths for their sun
grown or green house grown strains.

Wow. What an awful dispensary. The employees have literally no care for the culture or consumers coming into this location. Most of them have no idea what they’re talking about and will just consistently point you toward the most expensive items without a care for what you’re interested in. Perhaps the worst part about this dispensary is the pricing. It’s consistently double the cost for the exact same good (easily traceable on leafly) when I mentioned this to one employee she laughed in my face and assured me “well it sells”. No shit it sells, but you don’t have to be a soulless money grubbing corporation. I’d strongly encourage any and all serious cannabis users to avoid this place like
The Fucking plague.

Just wanted to take a minute to let everyone know the ladies that were working the floor today did an amazing job keeping everything in order and everything moving, even with a power outage that hit them randomly and then took the POS system off-line they were still very upbeat, positive and friendly even when dealing with other customers who were not very pleasant.
Thank you ladies, wonderful experience with you as always!❤

WARNING: UPLIFT HAS 3D POSTERS ALL OVER THEIR DISPENSARY, PATIENTS BEWARE
HI, so my friend and I went to uplift for their outstanding deals and product but come to find there are these 3D posters that trigger my dear friends seizures. He came to uplift for medicine as cannabis helps stave off seizures to find that one of this triggers are pinned up on every wall. He had to keep his head down throughout the experience. The staff was a bit dismissive of him informing them of this unfortunate display.
PLEASE TAKE THESE DOWN! show that you care about your med patients.
