i love this starbuds! such amazing bud and suckers and drinks. so many options and the staff is always so kind and helpful!!!

Nice selection along with some knowledge by the bud tenders. Keep up to date for the best arrivals! read more

Fast service. Awesome recommendations from staff. Just overall great experience. Will be back.

I was impressed. The outside didn't look like much but inside it looked like a Best Buy with a pharmacy in the back. Employees were very nice and helpful. Use the website to order ahead as that line moves twice as fast. They were busy. The facility is clean and feels new. Emerald is organized and they offer both recreational and medicinal THC products. I bought a product for sleep and my bud tender was knowledgable. Parking is in the front. I will be back next year. read more

Greta experience. Awesome staff. As an out of towner, I found a gold mine in this place. Will visit again. read more

I was very impressed with this place. Hubby and I came through when in town. The outside doesn't do the inside justice. It looks like a hole in the wall mess outside, but once you go inside it's all a whole different ballgame. You'll be asked for your ID. The lady was super friendly and explained how to order and what to do (since it was our first time). We went inside and looked around and took note of what we wanted. We waited for another lady to come by with an ipad and ask for our name, what we wanted, and answered all questions. When we were finished giving her our order, we were sent through the other door to the last room. They had a huge line that actually went pretty quickly. The efficiency showed was insane! When it was our turn, they asked for our name, got our order from the system, and came back with a bag of all our goodies. They did a check of everything and done. Great stop! Can't wait to go back next time we're in town. read more

Being from out of town, we stopped here on our way toward Salida. It was definitely the lunch time crowd just after noon and the line was substantial. So if can avoid that time, do it. We waited under a tent in a snaking like in the parking lot. Hmmm... not very welcoming but okay. The selection was great and easy to find. Prices were on par with what I pay for in Chicago. They could use the interior space better. The immediate area where they help you is small bit the display cases made it easy to see what products are available (helpful to us visual folks). But then you walk into the area to pay and it's HUGE. Despite the crowds I didn't wait long for them to pull together my order and pay. But I'm docking a star for how they're using the space available to them. read more

love this place. payton was great help. it's very clean organized, can get busy but you can place online orders. a good selection read more

I've been coming here for a few years now and this place has become so in efficient it's sad to see. They've taken what was a usually good experience and ruined it. Unfortunately I will not be coming back. read more

love the customer service, layout and online ordering ahead and special lines. inventory is always good, been a customer for almost 5 years now, won't go anywhere else. thanks! read more

Best local dispensary near CO springs. Nice set up, easy to get in and out. Way better selection of bud here than down the road. Good customer service. read more

Not a pleasant experience, products are too pricey and staff lacks basic customer service skills. Most dispensaries don't operate the way this one does and there's a reason for it. Our experience starts with the fact that this was one of the few dispensaries in the area that's open til midnight. That seems great until you realize that's because you may as well be waiting until midnight to get through the line to even ask the bud tender what you want. When you enter the building, they send you to lobby to look at what they have on display and their menus, and THEN you see the bud tender when you're ready to order. Normal dispensaries will have multiple bud tenders on hand so they can help you find what you want one-on-one. Not here. Once you figure out what you want after looking through their overpriced options that have stuff I have purchased before for way less at other places, hopefully you remember what it was because you'll be in for a wait since they had like 3 bud tenders on staff with 2 for online orders and 1 for walk-in. The bud tender with the SnapBack hat, gauges in her ears, pale and just mostly wearing black took FOREVER. When it was finally our turn, we had let her know that we had a cash and card purchase to make with our financial situation. She said it was fine at first and then we paid for a cart with cash and wanted to get some edibles on card, but all of a sudden she switched up and said we couldn't do it saying they could only have 1 purchase a day or some rule/policy they had. Confused and irritable with the wait we just left and let them know that doesn't happen at most places we go to but okay. She then tells us that because we were freshly 21 we wouldn't know how they operate and that's how it normally is. Firstly, we were 22 about to be 23 so that tells us she barely looked at our IDs, good job there. Secondly, we've been to multiple dispensaries in Colorado since we are locals, but hardly are we in the Springs. I understand she's essentially alone and there's a long line, that's why we were patient. But a remark like that that is condescending as if we've never been in a dispensary before was just completely uncalled for. No matter how good the weed is or how late they're open, there are multiple dispensaries that are WAAAYYYY better and actually know how to function properly and it's not worth the wait and dealing with the staff and their customer service or lack their of. Take it from an experienced local, there's better out there for a lot cheaper and way cooler staff. read more

Dont waste your time collecting points here; go to Maggie's instead, they won't screw you over then ignore your calls and messages. Had over a thousand points and should have gotten a free eighth at check out but due to a lack of cashier training and management ineptitude I lost the loyalty benefits I had been saving. read more

This place was very clean and organized. The screening process just to get in made everything feel really official and legal. Staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. We were able to ask as many questions as we needed and were in and out within minutes. The selection was vast and the atmosphere was fresh and upbeat. Prices were on the high side and parking lot could use some repairs for sure. The pot holes were quite bad. Lighting was kind of dark so it was hard to see the holes in the parking lot, but everything else was great. read more

Prices are too high. They need to change the game for local shoppers. I'll head up to Denver or Idaho springs for my monthly bulk purchase. For local shoppers, hell even the tourists,. Save your money and get your budZ from anywhere else but Manitu Springs. read more

They also got bought out by corporate entities and no longer have the good deal for full ounces. Officially no reason to go here. The birthday deal still exists, but who wants to ruin a birthday with those vibes? AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

Sorry excuse of a dispo. Save your time and just go to literally anywhere else. If you have an online order at a specific time, it doesn't matter walk-ins will be served first pending on line length not by order, and people will wait in the "order online line" and be walk-ins and don't correct the issue so the order you only had time to pick up at a specific time. Doesn't matter. It's actually a free for all. And they don't offer industry discounts for some reason. Only place that doesn't. But, "we don't do that here" response was cute. If you are looking for a rec dispensary in manitou and want organization, professionalism, vibes, customer service do NOT go to Emerald Fields. 0.1 stars read more

Jackson was very helpful in helping me find exactly what I was looking for. I'm a newbie still learning but he was so helpful every time I go there all of the stuff is wonderful and they have a great selection. I would definitely recommend giving this place a visit for all yourrecreational medical needs read more

I stopped coming here bc they're TERRIBLE with their joints. After a few years, I figured, since I was in the neighborhood, that maybe it got better. Wrong!!!! Every. Single. Time. I buy a house joint, I get ripped off! They won't open the container to show you the joint, so you have to take a chance that their QC was on point in checking everything, only to drive 45 mins to get home and open the container to find a half ass made joint. It's infuriating! Especially with how many times it's happened to me, just effin crazy. Just avoid this place. read more

Great experience- great people. I'm 50 and often sense that nobody wants to help the clueless old lady. These guys do not throw that vibe and the experience is awesome. Missing star is not for Emerald, but for the lameness of having to sell watered down THC in their county. Will stop again on next trip from Cali to Colorado. read more

I went and got charged $5.50 for taking out from their atms. Not only that the lady failed to let me know their card readers weren't working so I had to take out money. And then she forgot to tell me my total so I took out money twice. You're better off going to Maggie's farm down the street. Don't come here. Over priced and smart ass passive aggressive people too. read more

Very thorough check-in, including Covid tracking - be prepared to give a phone number. Everyone wore masks and almost everyone was wearing gloves. The budtender processes your order in person, talking you through the available options, and then giving you an order number that you'll use when called to the cashier. The cashier will check your ID again. All-in-all, very safe and quick! read more

They are way too busy for the amount of staff plan on waiting, at least an hour and selection to be over priced. I will drive to Denver before I will ever go back to this place again. read more

its currently 5:51pm the store hours PER THIER WEBSITE on Christmas is 10am to 6pm. i placed an online order at 5:23pm for pickup at 5:45pm i arrived at 5:41pm. Upon walking up to the entrance there was an employee standing at the door with it locked saying they've just locked the doors to start closing down and all customers that were inside and hadn't even placed orders where the only ones they were taking. I asked why if your store is open until 6pm and it states that on their website and why do you allow customers to place orders knowing they won't be able to pick anything up. he stated they want close things 15-20 minutes early so people can go home it's Christmas. Still inside of that 15-20 minute window and they still wouldn't let me pick up my order. So it's the customers fault you're working on Christmas? Not only did i get such a sorry excuse for them inconveniencing the customers as I wasn't the only person that just got there (there was one other person), there was no notice of that prior to me arriving (as you have to input your phone number to be contacted so they could've called me) nor was there a positive solution for the inconvenience of driving all the way across town for nothing other than "you could always come back tomorrow" as smart ass remark. I will literally never shop here again after that lack luster performance from their staff and their poor critical thinking skills they failed to use when they seen customers orders still coming in. read more

Not my favorite selection or price point. I tend to trash my products after purchase thefew times I've been because I was not happy with the product. read more

Front desk staff is awesome! Laine was super helpful and a joy to chat with! She was doing her job and a fella was really rude to her. So I hope this makes her day! read more

One thing I love is a clean bathroom ‍ staff is super nice. They offer discounts and daily deals. 10/10 weed as well.

The prices weren't crazy high but still a lot for the quality. I feel as if I didn't get the weight I wanted. I got two 8ths and I was slightly disappointed. On the other hand, they have a large selection of products and the staff was supremely nice read more

This was the second dispensary we visited in Manitou Springs. It was a little more open and inviting than the other. Didn't seem as "stiff", even though their rules aren't very flexible. Prices are competitive. I felt like there was a little more of a selection here. There was a lot of staff walking around to help customers, so I felt if I did need any help it'd be easy to get. Placing your order was easy, and then you go up to the counter to pay and receive it. Everyone was friendly, from the people at the front door, all the way down to the cashier. read more

Gonna have to do only three stars tonight. It clearly says on your website that you can get three promos and deals per order. I have gone in there two other Tuesdays and got the Tuesday 5g deal plus my 10% off since it requires no use of points and since I'm a gratify rewards member as well I had a coupon for 10% off good for three different visits that expire tomorrow 7/31.I was going to use it tonight but it was not honored at all by Michelle W. She told me she had kids to feed and would not honor the coupon even though it required no points. What is the point of being a member to get the special deals if they are not honored? literally started coming here last month have been pleased with the service so far all the other bud-tenders are great! but tonight not so much.. read more

First time in this establishment and the last. Came in to buy a cartridge, explain very explicitly to the cashier/sales representative or whatever that we wanted a cartridge not a disposable pen and once we bought the product and got out the door we realized it was a disposable pen and went back to return it and they said they wouldn't give us a refund the max they could do is give us a 10% discount off our next item.. The cartridge was half full.. picture attached. I will not recommend this location to anyone and we will not be back SCAM read more
