I went to this store last night. I had placed a pre-order earlier in the day, had some errands to run, stopped by a few hours later and given the wrong merchandise. I pre-ordered something online, received a text message that my order was filled, and was given the wrong merchandise. How does that even happen? This is the second time in a row this has occurred to me at this particular location. DO NOT PREORDER!! I order an eighth, two single grams of different strains and a gram of term sugar. Total cost should have been about $90. The guy rings me up and quotes me $66. I just pay and leave. I say to him, "$66?" Somewhat confused because I vaguely recall what I ordered. And he says $66. I go outside and wait in my car for a minute, thinking. Then I check what he gave me and I realize I've been sold 3 grams instead of an eighth and 2 grams. What's worse is that the strains are wrong. Hmm. 2 mistakes in a single order. What are the odd's of something like that? I feel as though they're trying to get rid of certain product... Only business in the world that will down sell you though. Most places try for the up sell. I go back in to set this right. I end up having to speak with a manager because any sort of return is going to take five minutes with this type of product. The manager pulls my order up and I explain what's happened. He pulls some stuff of the shelf and and asks me if what he has gotten is correct. I glance down and say, "Yes, but I ordered the platinum cookies from lazy bee in a gram, not the grandmas Anderson's cookies. Same farm, different cookies." I try and make light of the situation. Because the manager is even confused it would seem and cant even fill my order. I get a full refund, and then rung up again. I get no discount. Thanks, I just wasted my time correcting your mistake, which took me extra time in life, my time is worth money, my time is valuable so I should be given a discount. It was your mistake. Manager said I got double points though, first guy dint even bother to ask for my phone number for my points. So no, I got single points. Curly blond haired kid was the first guy. The line has grown five deep, people are wondering what's going on. Oh, Seattle so patient. I get out of there. I return home to find that I was sold a gram of Grandma Anderson's cookies, not the platinum cookies I had ordered. From Lazy Bee. I STILL DID NOT GET MY ORDER FILLED. EVEN AFTER GOING BACK IN AND CORRECTING THE MANAGER!!!!! %5 off of a pre-order they can't fill is pointless if they cant get you want you order. Ian, problems twice in a row of this magnitude, would you return? Check your returns for $66.90 and then check the following order. I'm not making this stuff up. I wish I was. read more

OK, don't read any further down about the prices. They are no longer ridiculous. Story time. For the first 6 months of prohibition-free Seattle, I bought one gram of product from the first shop to open (Cannabis City) just for the novelty of it. That experience was poor. Bad part of town, weird vibe, quick and dirty, and expensive. I could get a cool dude with an animal name to delivery cheap (and quality) stuff to my door with way less effort and time. Easy choice, so I used the delivery services for months. But, slowly but surely their prices went up and their minimum purchases became a little crazy, and their drivers stopped coming to your door, instead waiting for you in their car, and complaining about no parking. So, about a month ago, I read an article in The Stranger about how the legal stores have got a crazy amount of weed and nobody to buy it from them, and therefore the prices had plummeted. I knew Uncle Ikes had just opened in a location relatively closer to my house, so I looked up their menu and sure enough, they had some high-end types up at $25-$40/g, but there were also plenty of good strains starting from $10/g. Considering that includes a bunch of taxes, that was a killer deal. And there were no purchase minimums. So off to Ikes I traipsed, and haven't turned back since. They are very customer-service oriented and take the time to explain and help you decide what you want with no awkwardness at all. They have large televisions displaying specials, and menus (literally, like restaurant menus) are placed around for your convenience while you wait in line. The menu is updated daily both in-store and online. They have crazy good deals from a bunch of different suppliers all the time. I've only chosen a bad strain once, and it was mostly my fault for not listening to the nice girl who definitely knew better. The location is.... fine. It's 23rd and Union, which I guess some people might consider a bad part of town. But those people are mostly racists, so don't believe them. The shop itself is well-lit, has great hours, I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes, and it's right near a bus stop. They also give out free lighters. I have approximately 1 billion of them scattered throughout my house. What more could you ask for? Oh, how about a glass shop next door? Yeah they have that. Go here for you marijuana purchases. Right now, it's the gold standard in town. read more

Warning: DO NOT buy Uncle Ike's disposable oil pens...bought a couple for a trip, both Sunset Sherbet. 1 of them wouldn't hit well...because the battery didn't work very well, also all the oil leaked out. The 2nd one worked, but the battery ran out way before the oil cartridge did :/ very disappointing and will never buy them again. As for the rest of the store, decent prices, huge selection. read more

I am from California and went up to Seattle for the weekend. I took a cab from the Weston and the grand total was around $20. This was my experience: I went on a Saturday and wasn't crowded. I was in and out in 5 minutes, as I only needed a couple joints for that day. I bought two lavender joints for $10 a joint. I was in a hurry so I didn't get to look at the weed that was in the joint. I got back to the hotel and sparked up the ganja. The weed: As soon as a opened the sealed bag it was in, I knew this weed was terrible. I decided to smoke it anyways and ended up with a head ache and no high. I opened up the second joint to look at the weed more closely. What I found was disgusting, the lavender joints taste and smell terrible. I will never buy that strain again, and I suggest you examine the weed before you buy it! Not sure how the rest of the weed is, because I was in a hurry and just asked for a couple joints. I am very fortunate to live in California, so I don't have to smoke that terrible ganja. Other than that the service was great :) I hope they rest of the weed they sold there was not like the crap I smoked. I hope this helps. read more

Good parking situation and a welcoming storefront. Definitely a plus for the out of towners who need the comfort level going in. There are two buildings, one called "Glass & Goods" and the other unlabeled as far as I can tell. You're greeted and ID-checked by an employee outside the unlabeled building, then allowed in. It's a well lit and layer out store. The system isn't super obvious, but one of the incredibly helpful and nice staff members (all that I encountered were) will explain. You view 90% of the product through locked cases, everything else sits beyond arms reach behind the counter. Once you've looked around and decided what to purchase, an employee will fetch it from the back stock room and ring you up. All staff are users and very knowledgeable about the different strands, potencies, etc. Overall great experience and very comfortable/easy. As a bonus, they have two (!!!) ATM's on site as they are a cash-only business and it definitely helps keep things moving to have multiple ATM's. read more

Update: Originally this was a one-star review. However, the owner, Ian, was very responsive to me. He contacted me immediately! I met him back at the shop and he resolved my problem. He also apologized for my first trip. I will definitely recommend this place again! Original post: I liked this store. I liked it on Facebook! However, something happened and I can no longer tell my friends and neighbors to support this small business. Earlier this month I purchased a RIF vape pen from Uncle Ike's. I paid $110 for it. I was later told by friends that I overpaid, but that did not bother me. I went with my friend, and he got the exact same product. After charging it, I tried it and noticed that something was off about it. There was not much vapor coming out even with long drags. To get a small puff I had to use all of my lung capacity. I got the vapor because I don't smoke cigs or anything else, so I know my lungs are in good shape. I had no idea if my experience was normal though, since I've only used a pen like this a couple of times before. I compared the pen to the same type my friend has, and his works much better. In fact, with a mild intake and use of my lungs I got a big puff from his pen. So big that I started coughing. I spent the better part of a month traveling, but I finally made it to Uncle Ike's today to see if they could troubleshoot the problem. I walked up to the counter, and explained what was wrong with the pen. I did not ask for a refund, and I still have not. I do not know what is wrong with the pen, so I don't even know what part to refund. At most, I wanted a replacement. I didn't get to ask for that either. Instead, the employee I spoke with immediately told me - in a nice tone - that "all sales are final" and there is nothing that they can do. I totally understand that policy for items that can only be consumed, but this is a reusable electronic product that I was dealing with. It's not unreasonable that there may be problems with electronics, and they should have a system in place to easily manage those problems or at least attempt to troubleshoot them. I was told that I need to contact RIF to fix the problem. I had to demand contact information before it was easily given to me. It took them awhile to find it. So I am glad I did not go home and try to figure it out myself. I called RIF on my walk back home, and I got a voicemail that was not even set-up. I left a message, and I hope that I get a call back. I am disappointed that a store like this would not have a more flexible attitude or more customer-friendly approach when dealing with a reasonable problem. They would not help me beyond writing a number on a sheet of paper. It would have been nice to provide me with an actual contact, or to offer to deal with the problem with RIF directly. Sure, they are very knowledgeable when you are asking questions about product. Unfortunately, they just want to avoid dealing with problems completely and are unprepared to be helpful. It is a very corporate approach to customer-service. It is a shame, because this store is a 10 minute walk from my home and centrally located around the neighborhood where all of my friends live. While I intended to be a frequent customer, now I intend to actively discourage my friends and neighbors from going to this store. read more

As a previously medical patient, I was really skeptical of the quality of Ike's service when they first opened. However, I find that when I ask the recreational budtenders the same question as medical budtenders ("What would you buy today if you were doing (whatever I'm gonna do)?") I've gotten the same honesty and quality bud. I can see how the line could make some people feel rushed, but I find that if I want/ask my budtender to take their time with me, they're always happy to. Amazing product selection and quality, even better staff/service. read more

My first time here! The security Luis was very welcoming as well as everyone else. Thanks for the great experience, definitely will be back.

I had bought a vape cartridge with a leak in it........after being a regular of at least three visits per week for over a year.....I brought this leaking vape cartridge back into the shop with the receipt and packaging as described by their return policy and was told no. I brought it to the attention of Ian Eisenberg the owner of Ike's and he promptly cussed at me and accused me of trying to extort money from him. After going back and forth he said he would give me a 20% discount on my next purchase to make up for it. I explained to him that with a 20% discount I would have to spend 200 bucks to get a 40 dollar discount to make up that forty bucks I lost from a cartridge he should have replaced. He then tries to completely misconstrue this and accuses me of trying to extort $200 for a vape cartridge that was only worth 40 bucks out of him...How does that even make sense? I have evidence in writing that he was lying because all of our communication was done through emails and messages on fb. I showed the emails and messages to optimum extracts, the supplier of that vape cartridge. They said they were in disbelief and did not know what to say. They said they were so sorry that he would treat me this way. They apologized on his behalf and sent me a refund. read more

Sadly, I can't give a good review. I wasn't given the merchandise that I requested, and when I went to return it, the clerk was so patronizing it was nauseating. The place was clean though!!! read more

Sweet layout, rad staff, and low prices! There is a lot of variety here and such a fun experience. Its very clean and open. Not like your average "smoke shop" feel at all. Lots of parking too! Just a whole new experience and worth your time! read more

1 star for the taco truck parked outside, ate 3 pastor tacos Sunday night and have had the worst food poisoning of my life. 5 stars for Ike's, best shop in town. Hands down! (Sorry for posting this on Ike's Yelp, could not find the taco truck...) read more

Take the four stars with this caveat: I've only been to two recreational marijuana retailers and this is the second. The Pot Shop and the Glass Store are two different things, albeit in the same location. PROS - Pot Shop: Great location, easy to find. Selection appears to be incredible. Efficient operation PROS - Glass Store: Good selection. Friendly staff. CONS - Pot Shop: Felt kinda rushed, and kinda like the staff was rushed. Granted, it looked like we got there right at the beginning of the the lunch rush. Also looked like they were getting ready to shoot a commercial or something, so that could've added to the urgency of the atmosphere. CONS - Glass Store: None, really. WOULD I GO BACK? Sure. Probably not at lunchtime, though. read more

I have terrible timing with so many things: dropping bad news, remembering to eat dinner, romance ... and also moving! when I relocated to the east coast, Washington was just beginning to legalize and structure the commercial weed industry, so I was pretty bummed out to be missing in on the fun. well, I happened to stumble upon Ike's and like a dork originally assumed it was some sort of diner of sorts. WRONG! it's actually a very well organized, well staffed and clean dispensary, with super friendly employees and a very non-sketchy shopping experience overall (in case any of you feel iffy about this). I'm the first to admit I'm no pro at even knowing my likes and dislikes, but the staff didn't make me feel stupid or patronize me. they asked me some helpful questions about my preferences and found a few things to suite me. I walked out with some goodies and am definitely glad a place like this exists for people as a fantastic legal option! also just as an FYI they are cash only and my ID was NOT scanned by any devices! read more

Legal marijuana in Seattle? ?!?! Yes. Yes it is. I said it. Haha it was awesome. The girl who helped us knew what we wanted, we paid for it got a free complimentary lighter. And that's it. read more

Customer service here is a hit or miss whether it's busy or not. Been here a couple of times but my most recent visit is what changed my mind about this If I'm in line and you let your homie cut through in front of me and then tell the other customers (aka me and my friend) to move elsewhere uhhhhhhhh....... Ok. I guess I'll take my business elsewhere. Management needs to keep their employees in check because it looks like I'm not the only one whose gotten terrible customer service here. Maybe I took his tone of voice the wrong way and maybe he was stressed because of how crazy the shop got but there was no reason to give us attitude or be rude. And what the fuck if I'm waiting in line you best believe your friend better be waiting in line too like the rest of us. HOMIE OR NOT. read more

Terrence us the best!! I'm so happy when I see him at the door. Professional and charming. The perfect combination.

I visited a few dispensaries during my visit and this one was my favorite by far!! After you make a purchase from there shop you can go to the glass shop next door and get 15% off your purchase there. I loved the glass shop!! Theres a variety of pipes, glass, lotions, t-shirts. Also the workers there are so knowledgeable. I also loved the atmosphere here as well. read more

I had one super bad experience here which the owner fixed. I usually just get whatever the budtender recommends for my specifications. it helps me to generally have an idea of what I'm looking for to get in and out if I haven't pre-ordered. The loyalty rewards system is superb and I save a lot and get points easily! Also, and probably most importantly, the people that work here are passionate about the product and it shows. read more

Decent selection, attentive staff, WAY, overpriced. $25+ per preroll, $100+ a 1/4, $75 per vape cartridge. I will not be going back until the prices are more in line with the Trans-High Market quotes. read more

When in Seattle do like the Seattleite. The locals told me this is the spot where the locals go. Need I say more. Great prices, great selections and great people. How can you go wrong. Uncle Ike's is doing it right. Lastly the area has nice restaurants, so uncle Ike's is perfect for before or after a meal. That's just a bonus. read more

I love Uncle Ikes! Their staff was friendly, knowledgeable and quick. Those are the three things I expect when I walk into any establishment and they sure came through. I might also add, their branding, vibe, look and feel are on point. Thank you Uncle Ikes for being on of my FAVORITE rec stores in Washington! read more

Was first time earlier today and right off I have to say I'm definitely going to put this place down as my new "go to" dispensary! Sheri is the rockstar bud tender!! I just wanted something different than my normal leaf strains I have already. She asked me a few questions and totally hooked me up on some edibles and a pre roll. She nailed it! I definitely enjoyed my day after! Talk with her and I promise you'll be taken care of! read more

I went there on Saturday 17th and employees didn't know about his promotion. Then they said they "ran out of supplies"... Disappointing. read more

When my friend showed me this place, as someone new to cannabis, I was extremely grateful that it was my first experience! The "budtenders" are kind and know their product very well. As someone who isn't interested in smoking, I was nervous that they would treat me differently if I only purchased edibles. But, I'm so glad they proved me wrong! I always feel comfortable in the store, and they were able to talk to me in depth about the different strains in each of the brands of edibles I had tried in the past, and why they may have affected me the way they did! It's reassuring to know that not only do they know their product but they know and can explain some of the science behind it. I highly recommend the thick mints!! And obviously this shop, it's the best! read more

When in Seattle, you must visit Ike's. Like fine wine or great local beer, you should also try the awesome products being offered by Washington here at Ike's. It does get a bit overwhelming with the lines, but at least Ike's has many employees behind the counter to speed you on your way out. What I will say however, is the prices seem high (so pun intended) relative to California or other shops further out from the Seattle center. Either way, visit Ike's and appreciate what this state has to offer! read more
