Starbuds

Finally Open — prices are fair.

These guys are the TRUTH! I’ve been a patient for years here and the staff is amazing. You get a sense like you’re dealing with family. I’ll never go any place else despite having to move out of Capitol Hill. I suggest you always tip the tip jar. It goes a long way.
BEST STRAINS IN THE EMERALD CITY!

This is my first review. The staff here has been super friendly every time, as compared to the spotty service I’ve gotten at other providers. The people at Starbuds introduce themselves, are friendly, and recommend stuff they enjoy, not just the most expensive stuff. Their selection is great and their prices range from cheaper than recreational, to a bit above average for top quality goods. I stop by this place regularly and they know me by name. I leave every time with a big bag of goodies and plenty of $ left in my pocket

These guys do it right. A clean and friendly atmosphere with a positive staff. Great specials, quality product and I love the dab bar!

Today was my first day there and Adrian was so knowledgeable and helpful. She made my first visit very comfortable. Love the weekly specials! I will be back soon.

This establishment provided excellent service. Thier recommendations were helpful. Awesome selection of buds and edibles. Best Marijuana buying experience in town!

I think Starbuds is a great co-​op. They are friendly at the front desk and super helpful in the recommendations for bud. I especially like… Morris, I think his name is. He really made me feel at home when it was my first time. Don’t be deterred by some of the bad reviews, this place has amazing bud, tons of different products in terms of medibles, hash, concentrates etc. I would say they have some topical, but have been out of what I wanted twice, so maybe it could be better stocked there. Seems like most people just want the herb anyways. They have great specials everyday and, of course give newbies a free gram. You won’t be disappointed with the herb or the service. I highly recommend and will keep coming back.

Wonderful and friendly staff, made my first time visit very enjoyable. Because of this great experience I’m definitely coming back!

Consistent quality and diversity are strong point there but the service is what sets it above other places I’ve been.

My first time here and my first medical visit since getting my card-​they were super helpful and friendly. I was very pleased with everything I got and will definitely be back!

Definitely one of the better medical stores in Seattle. The counter staff is knowledgeable, have a great friendly vibe, and are all around nice. Strains are always good and the staff always has suggestions on what effects will be from usage. Definitely try them out if you’ve got your medical license!

I like getting my medicine from STARBUDS. There are always friendly staff members present that are helpful with information in regards to the medicine whenever I ask.
They have competitive pricing with daily specials I often take advantage of. Check out their website that keeps up-​to-​date information.
The medicine is of a good quality. They always have a wide-​range of products to choose from including flowers, oils, beverages, medibles, etc. I recommend going in and checking them out. I never have to wait around for them to help me.

***UPDATED — ¹⁄₁₆. After being forced to go there with all the craziness/​shortages in this industry, I’ve returned a few times now and they seem to have gotten their act together and I’ve adjusted my review****
Steve, your attentiveness has not gone unnoticed. Compared to other stores of this nature, they staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Wish the selection was more consistent but this really depends on what is in season so understandable.
You got the doctors note already… why not give them a shot? Speaking of a shot, have you tried a dab yet? Oh man… like the front seat of a roller coaster but in a good way
I’m still leaving my previous review as the practice of treating customers based on a feeling still holds true, but it’s been a marked improvement over my last few visits. I’ll probably drop my original revue as long as they keep up the great service.****
If you are «friends» of the store, they give you a discount, but if you spend a lot of money there and ask about getting the discount, their response is «if we know your name and recognize you». Apparently friends dollars are worth more than just common customers.
I’ve never seen a business base what they charge customers on how they feel before… quite perplexing. When I asked about this they tried to come up with some intelligent answer but all I heard was «We base our pricing on how we feel about you and if we like you».
Fortunately there is quite a few other quality places around, and discount or no, I refuse to give my business to a place that bases everything on feeling. Let’s call this place what it is… a medical marijuana front for a bunch of stoner friends!

Worst dispensary/​customer service experience I’ve had in a long time. This place takes credit cards and so I keep coming back. However after traveling an hour and a half from Bremerton to make a purchase they tell me the credit card machine is down… cash only. Frustrated but calm I head to the local ATM. I pull money from my CC knowing there will be an additional 30 $ service charge for doing so. Upon my return, with money in hand, the exchange takes place and because of the 3 hour round trip and major inconvenience I tell they guy I won’t be back. I wasn’t hateful or vitriolic, just assertive. His fragile ego couldn’t handle it. He then, in a an epic moment of passive aggressive behavior, decides he is my moral compass, let’s loose with some mantra he learned from watching too much Oprah, and proceeds to assert that his failure as a businessman is clearly all my fault.
Additionally, I have bought faulty vape products and was never offered any kind of credit. If you want quality products and service, STAY AWAY!

The staff were quite busy gabbing with patients; too busy to even say hello. I waited quite some time for the front desk person to put her shoes on and come greet me. As I waited, I watched 3 other patients come through showing zero paperwork, all ahead of me. I think I must have waited a total of 20 minutes to be helped, the longest of any dispensary I’ve been to. I was tempted to leave but after waiting this long, I figured it must be worth the wait. It really, really wasn’t.

This is the only place on Capitol Hill to buy your medicine. Their selection on a daily basis is fantastic and the daily specials provide incentive for you to go in on a daily basis. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about all their products and extremely helpful.

This is one of the best places I’ve come to in years. I used to come there when it was Seattle Cross and the quality of bud there seemed to diminish as time went on. I stopped going there and just starting coming back to see it under new management and a new parent company, the joint.
Now the quality is just as good as the quantity of different strains and ways to medicate. They have it all here from tinctures to edible and from flowers to vape pen refills.
Needless to say, I highly recommend star buds.

I almost hate to give this place a good review because word will spread how freakin awesome it is and then it’ll be hard to get in. Ya, it’s that good. The people are knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable in a classy way. I’d just recently become aware of dabs and the dab bar there is fantastic! I can’t wait to go back! There is only one thing I hate about it. It’s in Seattle and I live in Everett. It’ll definitely be a place I visit every time I’m down there, though!

My favorite dispensary, overall. They have improved their quality and service since they’ve opened, and they’re very open to feedback. The pricing is terribly reasonable for the flowers, and the daily specials are great– $ 8 gram Tuesday is my favorite.
The staff is knowledgeable, expedient, and friendly. They remembered my name after the third visit.
Check it out! You don’t have anything to lose.

I love this place!
They always have plenty of strain options, and great specials. When I became a patient, they gave me a brand new vapor pen! I love how they have several brands of oil cartridges and many different strains. I like my vape pen because it’s easy and discreet. I really feel like I“m giving my lungs a break. I’m hooked on the vapor pens now!
They also have really good meds at reasonable rates. I only wish they were closer to my house in Ranier, because this area could use a nice classy place like Starbuds.
Thanks for listening!
