I'm Sweet Flower's newest fan!…read more I have an upcoming vacay and needed some discreet edibles to pop while doing my thing. I was in Pasadena and saw some good options at Sweet Flower and in I went. The staff was soooooo friendly from the security to the register, which I always appreciate in my dispensaries. Prices are good and their sales are even better. I actually placed my order online before going in so everything was all set & I could scope out the deals. Picking up was seamless, easy and fast paying cash in person. I was able to find street parking outside without a problem on a weekday morning. I'll definitely pop back into Sweet Flower when I'm in Pasadena!

I started coming to Varda at the tail end of 2023. I'd just moved to the SGV when one of my…read morehousemates had come home with a big bag of weed and poetry to lay down about Rustin's service because my friend was that charmed by his care and knowledge that had our whole household blitzed out of our minds that night [Positive, always with that guy]. As my life has gravitated closer into the area through my work and studies in academia, research, and natural science niches, Varda has become a household staple and a place I've looked forward to stepping into across my day-to-day. Now, it's not at all difficult finding high quality product in Los Angeles for more affordable prices. I'm originally from a place where cannabis was very violently criminalized, so in terms of accessibility, it's great having an abundance of local options. What's kept me coming back to Varda as a choice though is an experience that has complimented my lifestyle, and that is entirely a result of the staff and the care they pour into their craft. If you ever have the fortune of working with them, Rustin and Aliyah alone are worth the trip over. For myself, my friends, and my colleagues that have passed through, both of them are incredibly thorough in terms of working to understand what their clients are looking for. Whether you're trying to slip in and out or looking to learn more about the products that are right for you, both of them are great for accommodating those details through whatever experience, abstractness, or specificity you come in with. Both of them have helped me find products that consistently meet my needs and preferences- be it celebrating my joys, releasing my grief, encouraging my introspection and creativity, managing chronic pain, relieving overstimulation, or just softening me up through the hostility of late-stage capitalism. :P They're well-versed in the science and industry behind the products as well as navigating details to match each person's budget and preferences. Aside from those two, Jordan, Amy, Shane, and the tall bearded guy with the golden doodle whose name is slipping me have also been a part of the dispensary's charming formula that keeps me enthusiastic to return to an environment where I know I'll be met with care, listening ears, and good company. The downside is that since the change of ownership, the store has lost its open-concept design (along with many beloved staff members) that once allowed customers to browse at their unique pace without the pressure of a single-file line. This set-up was a really great experience that I immediately missed as I typically visit at the end of a work or school week when I'm seeking mellowness and rest. Having that open-concept allowed me to take my time learning more about the store's products as I could leisurely sift through the shelves and discuss with the budtenders. In a city filled with botanic gardens, museums, libraries, and walkable charm, it was a really nice compliment to the local vibe. Through growing pains like these though, the staff continues to be the draw as they've continued to work to understand how to meet customers where they're at despite the high traffic flow. Check 'em out if you're ever in the area! It's a short walk away from the Sierra Madre Metro rail and right off of Colorado. They've got a wide variety of products and price points and some really cool people that can answer any questions you have.

I was running errands and had my kids with me and was taking a shot in the dark that I could inform…read morethe staff of what I would like to purchase and could give them cash to execute my transaction and I would wait outside. I was prepared for this to maybe not be an option, but I hoped they could offer me service or let me know of a delivery service I could use. Instead of even speaking to me the doorman just told me to wait, he helped multiple other customers who arrived after I did, and then an officious manager appeared and 86ed me, which I understood she needed to do to follow the law. However, she did not need to be unfriendly, dismissive, and utterly disinterested in helping me at all. They clearly don't care about getting new customers nor would I ever want to give those mean people a penny. Your money is better spent literally anywhere else.

Fast forward to now, they have been blowing up my texts every other day, and whenever I reply "stop" like it says I can to stop the messages, they still come in anyways. I've tried calling them multiple times in the last month and they have never picked up but finally, I was able to get on the phone with them today and a young woman picked up the phone. I asked her if there was a manager in, and she said no, and I explained my situation and how frustrating it is. Do you know what she did? She hung up on me before I could even continue talking. I will be going there in person to speak to them about this and I will continue calling them until I can reach a manager because this is so unbelievable and unprofessional, I will never be spending my money there ever again.
