(:

I recently got into Vaping CBD flower, and was in need of some local goods and knowledge. After…read morehitting up some shops and getting disappointed by the quality and prices that I found, I stumbled onto this little shop and knew this was going to be good. So welcoming, clean, calm and the owner and girl that works there are the most awesome, knowledgeable people I have come across in a long time. They have the best selection of fresh flower I have found in this city. The best CBD products for your mind and body, which is why this is now my to go store. I cannot recommend this shop enough. They are there to answer all your questions and make sure that you leave with what you were looking for. Customer service- 4 stars. Products- 4 stars. Prices- 4 stars. Go check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Tonight was my second visit to Botanic Alternatives, and my first impressions of it have been…read moreconfirmed--it's great. I'd previously visited a few CBD/vape shops in Chicago, but most of them had either a stoner, haphazard or indifferent vibe. (One in my neighborhood, which shall go nameless, was disorganized, had staffers more interested in chatting, smoking and hanging out with friends, carried more bongs & pipes than actual products, and weren't at all knowledgeable about types of CBD nor for what they were appropriate--the very young clerk had to phone her boss at home for answers, and I still didn't feel adequately advised). But Botanic Alternatives is a gem! Unlike the other stores, it is devoted mostly to CBD (with a smaller section for nicotine), and carries a variety of the most reputable CBD products (I know because I've vetted many brands online), with no gimmicky or faux-stoner stuff (such as those Weed World truck scam candies). Owner Tom, and associates Marissa & Jeffrey are friendly, patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Both times I shopped there I had extremely specific questions about which CBD products would fit my precise health concerns, and they explained exactly why they recommended some products for me and steered me away from some others. I also sought Jeffrey's advice for how to transition my husband from cigarettes to vaping (a work in progress). There is plenty of literature on hand to educate consumers. The layout is modern, brightly-lit, streamlined and very well-organized. Tinctures, edibles, tablets/capsules, vapables/concentrates, flower and even pet products are in their own sections of shelves and eye-level display cases. Jeffrey was able to advise me as to how to customize & combine amounts of products to best fit my needs (e.g., sleep, pain relief, anti-anxiety), and even integrate them with supplements & foods I have on hand. There's even a comfy lounge area with sofas & tables. (Those other shops mentioned in the first paragraph didn't even have a single chair on hand, and felt like "corner-store-meets-head-shop"). The only downside for me is location: Logan Square is trendy, but it's far from my north lakefront 'hood, difficult to reach by public transit (at least the CTA line that serves my area), and parking is a crapshoot at best. But that's not their fault--they are well-suited to the surrounding upscale millennial demographic (though even as an unhip aging-boomer I nonetheless felt welcomed, valued and comfortable). Besides, rideshare services have made driving & parking a non-issue. Hence the full complement of stars!

Everything about Ivy Hall Dispensary is top notch. The online ordering process is simple and…read morestraightforward. The selection seems extra large. The place is beautifully laid out and the best thing of all is the people. Everyone we met on our very short stay at Ivy Hall was super friendly and helpful. Since it was our first purchase we received at 25% discount! Now that's a lot of value. They told us we also get $20 off our second purchase. Makes me wish we lived close enough to make it our go-to dispensary. Or at least that the dispensaries at home had the same sense of caring and friendship we encountered at Ivy Hall. If we are ever close by (we are staying at The Robey) we will definitely stop in again.

Cool art and decor, comfy seating, and fun gift/accessory items too. Really nice vibes all around. I'll definitely be returning!

The staff was energetic and friendly, they answered questions knowledgeably and when they didn't know the answer, they looked it up. I enjoyed the products and feel like I got my money's worth.
