It's OK, but certainly not "top quality". My girlfriend likes the place because of its convenient location. She also seems to like their herbs a whole lot better than I do as this is where she shops and i'm still looking for the right goto. The bud tenders know how to talk as if they know what they are talking about but they don't actually know what they are talking about much of the time; they are salespeople first and foremost and stoners second; they don't really know much about the medical uses of cannabis. Also, I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to start shopping somewhere else from now on. Last time she shopped at this dispensary, she came home with close to a quarter of "blonde bombshell" and it was molded. For "lab tested", molded nuggets shouldn't be happening especially when close to a c-note is being spent on it. Huge shame and guess how they will handle it when you bring it to their attention? It was her fault for trusting their testing... I guess if moldy pot is what portal and looking for in outer southeast Portland Metro, Little Amsterdam is the place to go. - AS

I've been visiting this store as a "recreational" customer since "recreational" became "legal" even though I have needed my cannabis for medicine. I haven't had a "qualifying condition" for a medical card but my medical need is still obvious. I find that it is very easy for me to follow my nose in choosing from the constantly pleasantly changing menu for herbs that will suit my medical needs. Definitely the most satisfying smoke I have tried on the north coast. I have tried 12 or 13 different strains from this shop and so far I would say my favorite has been the ATF, also, the Choco Chunk has never been a bad choice. Some of their herbs are not the best trimmed; some have a lot of stick and occasionally there are strains with a lot more leaf than I'd like to see, but generally, most herbs are tip top from appearance, to potent aroma ("loud") and well-manicured with the perfect amount of moisture. The service since I have visited the place has been progressively better since October. There are a particular couple of people who have served me who were not the friendliest or most respectful of the fact that I'm spending a lot of money when I buy buds from a dispensary; one guy who I thought might be a tweeker liked to rip and tear nuggets apart to try to meet the weight of the order rather than find the nuggets to fit it and break off small nodes/stems like the other tenders do. That put me off quite a lot to speak of. The people I have encountered more regularly in my multiple trips to this store, the short guy who's always in an upbeat mood and the older lady who tries to make folks feel welcome in particular are faces that I'm happy to see when I show up to get some medicine; the people who were there today. The shop itself is very clean, it's pretty bare and a bit bright, almost institutionally so, but always very clean and professional presentation. The many herbs available line the shelves for the whole length of the counter and are easy to visually examine from the counter. It does sort of echo in the room but smells great with all the people smelling the potent buds that are available. This is by far the best place to get buds from Tillamook to Seaside on the coast. Price, quality, friendly service, selection and generally reliable satisfaction with every trip make La Mota in Rockaway Beach the store to pick whether you live in the area or you're visiting the coast and looking for premium smoke.
