Uncle Ike's Dispensary Seattle Central District

Good selection and some decent prices, but I just had a pretty bad experience where the staff got me to come in over a faulty product with promise of a discounted replacement… only to not actually give me any discount. Wouldn’t recommend going here when there are so many other options, or at least if you do make sure to double check your budtender’s work. I bought a cart from them ~a week ago for $18 and it was good, but towards the very end started leaking oil badly. I figured no big deal, maybe it was a bad one or I accidentally let it fall down horizontally at some point. Purchased another one of the same brand on Christmas Eve for $18 that stopped pulling and began leaking oil earlier today despite me being especially careful, at about 1/3 of the tank left. I called Uncle Ike’s and they explained they couldn’t give me a refund or replacement as I’d thrown out the packaging (I understand this is state law but I would suggest that budtenders make this more clear to out of state ID customers, I only got a “bring it back within 10 days if you have an issue” at checkout). The lady very clearly said she’d give me a discount on a replacement if I bring the cart in. I do so, wait in line, and she (it’s the person I spoke to on the phone) brings me some other options. They’re all slightly more expensive (she mentions $22-27) but whatever, I don’t want to get the brand I’ve had issues with twice and she said she’d give me a 40% discount. I pick the cheaper option and she rings me up, it comes out to $22.50 which seems a bit strange but at this point I just want to go home and enjoy my Friday night. In the parking lot I check their site and realize that the “discounted” cart she sold me was already listed at $22.50 on their website and she never applied any sort of additional discount for my trouble. Thank you for tricking me into driving over and spending more money with you guys? I guess at least now I know you’ll lie about discounts to try and pacify customers who are already very calm and friendly lol. I really don’t understand why your employee would promise me a discount and get me to come in to your store, you probably could have kept my continued business by simply telling me that you wouldn’t do anything about the faulty cart… I even tipped her lmao.

Leah was awesome. Went in today and came out feeling confident in what I purchased. She was very kind, patient, and informative. Thank you Leah!

This is probably my favorite Ike’s location to shop at. Customer service is always on point! Leah & Holly were especially very helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions patiently.

Love the location. Robin is an amazing knowledgeable employee. She is always helpful when you want an eclectic twist on getting stoned. Will recommend her every time.

Dorian provides great service at the shop. He’s knowledgeable and he’s always patient when helping customers. I really appreciate how attentive and respectful he is. Definitely one of the reasons I keep coming back.

The customer service at this location has consistently felt unprofessional and lacking in warmth. Based on my experiences, I believe that race has played a significant role in the absence of a welcoming atmosphere. As a result, I made the decision to stop visiting this establishment and do not intend to return in the future.

I go for the budtenders. I can go in a complete newbie and they will help you find what you're looking for. Caila recently helped me find a product that was exactly what I was looking for. She was patient and gave me options and her recommendations without being pushy or upselling. Their stock can be overwhelming in scale but their budtenders are trained to focus in and not present you with too many options. Pay it forward.

I want to give robin 5 stars for going above and beyond for me during my quick visit. Even though there were two products they didn’t have at their location. She was patient and kind and instead of leaving empty-handed, she gave me her recommendation.

Wonderful people. Yesterday helped me with mechanical issues and more. Cannot believe how over the top they went to help me. Have never had such service from a company.

I had an incredible experience with Tyra on a Saturday morning. She was patient, knowledgeable (impressively knowledgeable), and had the best energy. She listened to this novice and made me feel like I made the best choice for me and elevated moment. I cannot wait to get home and try them. I had to write this first before I get into my best most relaxed state. Thank you for being so welcoming and kind. Wyld times abound!

Only shopped with them for years. Great service. Today ended that. When I was having trouble with a pre order, and your employee responded, 'Good luck with that.". Hung up on me

Yaz was so very helpful and knowledgeable and kind. She listened to me and really heard me about what I was seeking. I felt seen! She did all this with focus and economy of time. There was only one person behind me, but, courteous to a fault, Yaz both gave me her full attention but kept things moving, as we both intended. I feel like my selection has turned out perfectly for me. I really left it up to Yaz. I feel like I was just given something to make me feel better in this difficult life on a cold and damp evening in a sort of personal therapy way, like a good witch gives an apple in the forest to a little girl, or, well, to the suddenly shockingly AARP age lady. Whom is just in shock about it, among other things. I needed an apple from a good witch in the dark gloomy city forest tonight. Thank you, Yaz.

I have been a customer here for years, the staff has been great to me, I rally enjoy seeing all the senior citizens who shop here, the selection is good

It is more easily done and less humiliating and distressing to try and enter the Ancient Egyptian equivalent of Heaven by mis-reading the Book Of The Dead than it is to legitimately return something with a receipt to Uncle Ikes. The problem with items not functioning properly is Chronic. I do not like this business. They are elitist, self-righteous snobs.

My husband has been a long time patron of Ike's. He loved the employees. They are very friendly and helpful. However we stopped going there because of the manager. He pretty much told my husband that he was wrong about his accumulated discount points. He would not back down. We decided to go to a different shop where the service is EXCELLENT!!!! They also offer reward points and their manager is extremely service oriented!!!!!! Thank God there are many other shops out there that are all about the CUSTOMER!!!! My

I was digging this place and also wanted to try their car wash and bottle shop but last night when I was in there I'm pretty sure one of the people working there stole $20 from me out of the ATM after I forgot to take it. I was in there around closing time and I use the ATM real quick and forgot to take my money out and when I realized this I turned around and one of the employees was standing by the ATM apparently cleaning it. I asked them if they saw my 20 in there and they said no. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and decided that maybe I forgot to complete the entire process. It takes some time for ATM withdrawals to show up in my bank account app so I wasn't able to check right away. So I had to get another $20 and pay another ATM fee, but when I got home, I checked my bank account again and sure enough there were two $20 withdrawals and two ATM fees. I searched my wallet, my car, and all of my pockets to see if the 20 might've fallen out and I made a mistake but the $20 was not to be found. I'm pretty sure the employee took it. it's sad that even going to a weed dispensary will remind you how sick and broken this world has become. Obviously I won't be back to any of uncle Ikes stores and I'll be letting everybody that I know that smokes this story. Such a shame a nice place hires dishonest employees. If I find my $20 or at least figure out what happened and it wasn't the employee, I will edit/delete this review.

The service at Uncle Ike's is next level! Today I was helped by first Davis and then McKenna. They were awesome! The depth of knowledge was beyond the pale, these are true experts in the industry. No where else compares. To be honest, it's actually every member of their staff that I have had an interaction with at this fine establishment that impresses me. These folks are 100% Seattle's best! If you are reading this review from a far away place, please come to Seattle and stop by to see the miracle of Uncle Ike's in action. Huzzah!

I am visiting from Arizona and I stopped by here last night and they sold me an amazing joint. About an hour later my phone died and I was a little worried cause I had no way to get back to my friends house and started walking into bars to ask for a phone charger and no one had one. I ended up walking back in Unkle Ike's and the staff helped me out immensely. Will immediately recognized me when I came back in and got me a charger. The whole staff was extremely nice and helpful. Thank you for being good people and helping me out. The weed I was recommended was also amazing.

I'm an idiot - this store has a great staff - I was outraged because I thought they had left something out of an order and I took it to the worst place. The lost item fell out of the bag in the car- I still don't know how it ended up there. - but considering what a jerk I was about it - they were all lovely to a crazy old coot in his Alzheimer's years. I completely Karened out on them- this is when you see how great these kids are - I was totally in the wrong and they were very patient and professional while I was an a**hole. Excuse me I've got to go tell those kids to stay off my lawn I really need to learn to count to 10 I am mortified

Popped in for some drinks while waiting for reservations. The cashiers were friendly and there is a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Great spot!

Uncle Ike's is still friendly and still legal, but the flagship pot shop is now Uncle Ike's CD since the chain has opened additional locations in Seattle. This location is on Union near the Central District, hence the CD. Parking is extremely tight although turnover is high, so to speak. When recreational marijuana first came to Washington state, stores were few with limited selection and high prices. Over time, more and more stores have opened all over the state, while Ike's has grown into a much larger and complete store. I have seen this location grow like the product it sells! You must bring cash as banks do not allow credit card transactions. Ike's has an extensive variety of flowers, pre rolls, oils, vapes, and lots of edibles. THC and CBD contents are clear and easy to understand, although you should adjust for edibles. There are indica, sativa, hybrids, and infusions in many affordable quantities. Edibles are becoming much better, although do not expect a gourmet pastry. Staff are taking a big risk here, but they are just amazing really wanting to help people. Lines are usually long, but can move fast. The line wraps in front of a large display case to help you choose. Prices are high, but decent for quality and purity. It can be a little weird coming here the first time, especially from out of state, but it is legal and pretty safe. Just pace yourself and enjoy the ride!

I was in a hurry, hangry and not up to date on the bud selection. Blair was patient, efficient and got me on my way with the fire in hand! Great bud tender!

Alvin's Review Terrace, Mike, & Tyra is my squad. Hopsitality, Comfort, and Product Knowledge is Priceless. A+ Team for sure.

My favorite in town. Been to several shops locally, but Uncle Ike's surprisingly always has everything we're looking for at the lowest price compared to the others. I'm buying for recreational purpose so I can't comment on the medical stuff, but I always find that the staffs are always consistently polite, helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoy looking at the display shelves before going to talk to the budtenders. Everything feels very organized here. There's always plenty of parking each time we come here. I have some other pot shops that I also enjoy going but Uncle Ike's will always be the first place I'd send people to before the others.

Love Ike's Central--always fast + efficient w online pre-ordering! Friendly Budtenders, great selections, always a warm welcome from Terrence at the door!

Impressive variety of flowers, edibles, and accessories. Even as a California dispensary regular, I have never seen so many different marijuana products in one store. The interior is spacious, with walls of products displayed in glass cases. Upon entering, staff will check your ID, and then hand you a menu. I could have spent hours looking at this menu-I think it was around 11 pages! While browsing the countless goodies, you enter a queue, and wait for the next available bud tender. Uncle Ike's seems to be constantly busy, but the wait was only a few minutes. Our bud tender was very friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to make suggestions. Prices were affordable-spent about $90 on what was cumulatively a quarter gram of top shelf hybrid and indica. Edibles are sold only in 10mg serving sizes, but they sell multi-packs which is not only helpful but affordable if you require a higher dosage. This location also accepts credit cards! Definitely a top choice for all of your weed needs.

Sorry Ike, I was only trying to help you. You? Trying to help Ike?! This is a great store. They will take care of you.

Stopped by this place while I was on vacation to grab some CBD goods and I am so glad I did! There is a big shop with a lot of edible and flower options, as well as topical etc, but one of the employees appointed to the shop out in the front that carried glass goods because they carry more CBD-based products. I grabbed some CBD topical lotion for my hands and tinctures for my anxiety. The employees were super nice and chill, they even gave us free t-shirts with our purchases! Also if you're hungry, there's a taco truck out in the front too :)

Took an Uber all the way across town after finding this place on yelp! I pre ordered on their website and was notified it was ready within 15 min. I walked in and everyone was so friendly. They don't accept card but they do have an atm machine inside! I wish I had time to stop in the glass & goods store! Ugh! Next time!

My best homegirl and I stopped in on July 25th. We googled the closest one and we were so glad. We had a very informative budtender also so beautiful Siham Jigre. I loved her cool button of Sasquatch giving the bird. Very cool looking shop. We signed up for points. We ended up getting 2 of Willie's reserves preroll 5 Pks. Grimace OG and I can't remember the other and ya probably know why my homegirl got the other one. Either way we were both very much satisfied. We live in Snohomish county but we will be definitely making our way back there. Thank you Siham see ya soon

I always love coming to Ike's, but today was even better, because Terrence G helped me in while I struggled with a broken foot. Dave helped out at the register with great weed, and got me out quickly! Thanks Uncle Ike's

Uncle Ikes, to Me, is like visiting a Cheers bar; where everybody knows your name. I have been going to Ikes for a few years now and have loved their consistency of great product AND customer service. One of my highlights of going to Uncle Ikes is seeing and engaging with Mo. Mo has this cooooool demeanor about himself that I appreciate and he KNOWS what I like! I like to try new growers that produce the best indicas and Mo confidently suggests the best and produce the FINEST! He's always been on point about his choices and he knows the product! Next time you're in the CD and are wanting some good smoke, good people and good product...be sure to ask for Mo. He'll do you right!!

I love this place !!!! They have a great selection and Luis is always helpful and knowledgeable , last time I went in there to get something to help me sleep and whatever I'm looking for he always get is right.

Ichabod, you are my mother's brother You know Mary Jane like no other When I get too low, you pick me up When I climb too high, you help me down My car is clean and the box is hot Hey Uncle Ike ;) thanks for the pot

Every time I walk into Uncle Ike's on 23rd I'm treated kindly and professionally. Terrence G is awesome, it's nice to walk into your neighborhood bud store and be greeted by name instead of hearing ID, now stand over there. Terrence is always welcoming and professional. And even though he's not a bud tender behind the counter he always has good suggestions on the best products!

As an out-of-towner from California where cannabis isn't recreationally available (yet...), this place was a blast to see. Uncle Ike's is LIT!!! Literally, from the sign just outside, you can't miss this place. It's so fancy there's a building for glassworks and a building for the products of interest. We went into the cannabis shop first where it can feel a little bit pressurizing to know what you want and order and get out due to the set up of the store to be like the DMV. Luckily there wasn't too much of a line behind us. The menu was definitely helpful however overwhelming if you're just there to look. They definitely have a lot of different products and the budtenders seemed helpful but we didn't end up getting anything there (just yet...). The glassworks shop was more on the lax side. The guys in there were pretty friendly and let us do our looking. Those pieces are definitely something to look at. So cool! So pretty! They also have cool magazines and little knick knacks like stickers and rolling paper. I thought the stores were both really nice and clean. Be sure to pay a visit if you haven't been there before.

Caveat: I'm not into pot. It's a personal preference thing. But if I did, me thinks that I would frequent Uncle Ike's. It's like futha-muckin' VEGAS when you pull up in their small lot. I almost reconsidered in that split-second but I don't need a substance in my body that convinces me to have second breakfast- dinner- lunch -- as my body makes a chemical like that all by itself. Cash-only, one part of the building has space dedicated to only your pot-using sundries: pipes, bongs, etc. And the main store is full of people that are ready to help you with questions. Their menu is a little overwhelming but I'm sure if you're confused-looking enough they're going to a) ask if you need anything or b) ask what you've been smoking. Are the prices reasonable? Who knows but judging from the amount of people inside (they even have a doorman to monitor the number of people inside the store at one time) I would say that it's probably decent. Plum (food truck) was also outside in the parking lot, ready to help you with your second breakfast- lunch... Well-played, Plum. Well-played.

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.

Dalin was amazing! Helped me navigate getting my medical card, he has so much information. Also just LOVE this location!

Service is about a 4 if you get a female budtender, they are a bit more pretentious. . The dudes are usually pretty chill. But they all seem to know their stuff, if you ask them what they recommend as far as what you're looking for. Their prices are fairly decent too compared to other places outside of the Seattle area and they have the best selection, and an abundance as they are the top grossing cannabis shop in the state compared to the other shops. My boyfriend is pretty well versed with cannabis so I trust his knowledge. He loves cannabis, and would smoke anything, however, he does have great taste when it comes to middle/top shelf stuff. He usually tries to avoid the lower end, and there are some within a decent price range. I just love coming here, getting our "medicine" and then heading over to the glass shop that shares the lot with the cannabis store and get 10% your purchase and a free $10 car wash at the place next door. They are doing some construction on their street so parking is a bit challenging, if you live near by I suggest using Uber or Lyft (go on uncle ike's website, they have a promo for lyft) and or use the bus.

Becca Boo West has the best customer service and is very knowledgeable :) I felt like she answered all my questions thoroughly and she knows her stuff

Uncle Ike's never steers me wrong but I recently had an exceptional visit when Luke W. helped me out. He was super knowledgeable and had some GREAT suggestions for what I was looking for. I have worked a lot of customer service jobs in my life and have high service expectations and they're always exceeded when I shop at Ike's!!

Absolutely miserable customer service, the prices are high and the product is bunk. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

Decent weed, hit or miss employees. 2/5 stars for me. Have been here many times, even have had friends work here. I'm writing this review because I recently went to CD to get some weed around the $50 an 1/8 range. I was helped by a guy named Ben, who didnt seem like he wanted to be working. He rushed me to purchase some K Savage, which I have had before and was happy with previously. This time, it was not near what I was looking for. After deciding to go with the 1/8th he pushed on me, I feel it is worth leaving a review to express my feelings towards my experience with Ben. I will not be returning to Ikes for some time sadly as I felt rushed and not appreciated.

Each pot shop in the city has its own personality. Ike's specializes in a large and diverse selection with a range of price points. and a tongue-in-cheek aesthetic. Also, a parking lot. If you are looking for guidance from a budtender, you may be better off at one of the smaller shops. If you're looking to explore different strains, come here. If you're on a budget, definitely come here. If you're a tourist, it's worth stopping in just to see recreational at its best. They sell Ike's t-shirts, too. Bring some home for your cool aunties or, as my late-blooming boyfriend did, buy one to wear home and piss off your parents! Pro-tips for shopping at Ike's!: 1. It is nigh impossible for any budtender to keep up with the massive rotating stock of strains Ike's sells. Do your own research before coming here. I recommend Leafly. 2. Even better, make use of Ike's online pre-order - you can do your research and then drop your desired strains into your cart. Then you just roll in and pick up. You also get a discount! 3. Don't let looks or price fool you. Some of the best marijuana I've gotten here in terms of effects have been cheapie bags of Ike's Littles or ounces of trim. The gamble has paid off more often than not. Interestingly the expensive stuff (e.g. that $30 Sherbet from Gabriel) has been a disappointment for me. 4. This is not the place to get medical marijuana recommendations because that's not what they specialize in. Try Ponder right nearby. 5. If you like something, there's a good chance that it will be gone within a week or two, especially if it's good or if the budtenders recommend it. You may not see it again for months, if at all, so STOCK UP when you can! I can't emphasize this enough. It's a crapshoot as to whether you can find the same thing in another shop. Sad days ahead when you run out of that choice uplifting Ike's Littles Space Cake bc all the other Space Cakes in town are just not the same. 6. Yes, you should try out that funky sounding strain that only costs $5 if you can afford it. Trying different strains is the best way to figure out what works and doesn't work for you... 7. ... Unless it's Phat Panda. Avoid buying Phat Panda flower/joints, regardless of what the budtender tells you or how cool the package looks. It's just unremarkable, generic, crappy weed - the kind you'd get before legalization when your only option was "dealer's choice" - and Ike's has much better options for a better price. For some reason, my Ike's budtenders recommend PP a lot so my housemates and I have run through a number of different PP strains. Disappointment in a jar every time. The candy ("Hot Sugar") is fine but also not my first choice, again, because it's unremarkable. Honey, you deserve better. This location also has a glass shop and taco truck in the same parking lot. And a car wash next door. Convenient!

I love this place. They provide great variety of product with good service. I love taking advantage of their pre order system so you don't have to deal with lines and you can get a small discount. The budtenders are really nice and I enjoy coming in a lot because of them.

Becca H delivered really strong customer support this last weekend. I was looking for the Deep Sleep pills and Becca went out of their way & looked in all of the display cases to find me the last box. Thank you kindly, Becca H. Super grateful for your determination and kindness.

One of the best reviewed dispensaries in Seattle! Parking here is easy & free, they even have their own parking lot. They have 2 stores: weed & supplies to enjoy your weed. They sell some of the cutest & unique pipes! I am a huge fan of Adventure Time & they had some with the characters faces on them. For the weed store, they sell every form of marijuana you can think of. From pre-rolled joints, to flowers, to edibles, to hash, you name it. The flowers are very pricey though! Cookies & Cream Indica: 1 gram cost me $19! So expensive! Not that dank compared to what is grown in California... It did make me feel like I became one with my pillow when I fell asleep haha.

This place was amazing! Exactly what we are looking for! The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful! We will only go here!

I always get my stuff from here. Everyone is always super nice and willing to help you with any questions. There's literally no other place I go

This location is unfortunately not better than any other Ike's locations, all of them suck. I've given this place a few tries, and each time was a huge disappointment. On one particular occasion, I went in with a migraine. I have the sense to not ask for medical recommendations anymore, as budtenders often have to have specific credentials to do so. With that in mind, I don't expect a budtender to slander the medical industry and medical patients in response to my attempt at small talk. I mentioned how I missed the medical days of marijuana and the budtender said "it's not like med weed was better than what we have now, that shit sucked and it's not like patients were actually 'medicating' ya know?" I felt incredibly disrespected and incredibly dissatisfied with how Uncle Ike's not only responded to my complaint but responds to negative feedback from other customers as well. Outside of that, I hate the way that I felt rushed here. It's like they couldn't get customers out of there soon enough. Skip this place.

This is hands down the best pot shop in Seattle. The staff are helpful and friendly. Uncle Ike's can change the stigma that pot smokers are all grungy.

Okay.. Left a review earlier on my wrong account but im writting another one because the outstanding customer service I recieved from a young lady named HANNAH... she is awesome.

There are a lot of pot shops to visit and the only reason I chose Uncle Ike's is because of their online menu. The other pot shops I researched list what they have but not what they do. I really liked the fact that I could read about the different affects of the various strains before I went in to the shop. I'm relatively new to the whole weed-thing so I am trying different things. I know that most places are very helpful in answering your questions but imagine going into a shop and saying 'what do you have?' when there are hundreds and hundreds of different types of flowers and tinctures and pre-rolls and edibles and drinkables, etc. At least I could narrow it down before going in and my questions were more specific. The only reason I didn't add that fifth star was because the first time I went in there was one other person in the shop but all the other employees just looked at me. No one asked if they could help me or said hello or even acknowledged my presence and I hate that. I mean haaaate that. Customer service is key for me awarding that last star. The dude that helped me looked super bored too. I asked some questions which he didn't answer well but it did lead to the fact that I could buy pre-rolls in two of the strains I was interested in trying, which cut the cost of trying something and not liking it. I have gone back and will go back again because I liked what I bought and it was not expensive. The second time I went the customer service was a lot better too. I was acknowledged coming through the door, greeted warmly and with a smile and helped me immediately.

Our bud tender was very knowledgeable and made the experience lots of fun. We went in looking for edibles and we ended up leaving with some new things to try that we would not have thought of in our own so all in all it was a fantastic location to visit.

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

This is the worst cannabis shop/dispensary I've ever visited, and I have been all over the country to various shops and dispensaries. It's an extremely rushed , pressured experience and the budtenders have a haughty attitude which is completely unnecessary. Additionally, their prices are too high and all of the flower I've gotten has been poor quality: dried out, crumbly and poorly trimmed. This shop is definitely out for your dollar and they're not ashamed to broadcast their attitude about earning a quick buck through their poor service, assembly-line experience and substandard product. Go nearly anywhere else in the Seattle area for a more positive experience!

Honestly they have a great store and great selection but the budtenders will only show you the most expensive stuff in the store, they clearly get paid a commission. This has happened so many times I will now drive further away to go anyplace else.
