Unfortunately, I have to update my last review.
Pricing is pretty standard maybe even a little better than other dispensaries! They always have some sort of deal going on and if you're plan your medical needs correctly and can ration it's smarter and will save you money and time.
The atmosphere... other dispensaries are more open, brighter, more colorful, and not nearly as locked down. I don't mind it, but others might.
Service now here is where things take a nose dive. I'm a medical patient. Illinois just started recreational this year. I've been medical for almost 2-3 years now.
I can definitely tell who is there to help patients and I can tell who is there to just sell weed ...
I'm a patient it shouldn't feel like I'm talking to a drug dealer. That is the whole reason I got my medical card. To treat my disease!
Sometimes the sales associate doesn't help me find the best deals, hence charging me more, I won't name names.
I've had a problem with a product and the person refused to fully refund or fully replace it hence I got shorted $15 because I have a food allergy 🙃 and edibles aren't FDA regulated so they often use labels they aren't supposed to...
This put the cherry on top, I had an issue with my credit card. and instead of helping me fix it, the person kind of just put there hands up and walked away like "fuck you". But a newer employee came and helped me and it was a small inconvenience but he fixed it and I was able to leave with my medicine.
I am appalled that the person who had been working there longer than anybody did not give a shit about helping me nor did they seem to care about making the sale!
If it wasn't for the cheap product, the deals, and the fact that a handful of the employees are absolutely amazing, I would not return.

The staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to a friend. IL prices are high but they run good specials and have a great rewards program.

Important. I started my patronage at Colombia Care one year ago, gave a sterling first impression review, and have been a loyal patron of the place since. This is an update regarding my 2019 as a customer. I did my due diligence researching a dispensary choice and have maintained tabs on the status of alternate dispensaries in Illinois. Throughout 2019, Colombia Care won out in its field, all things considered. Pick any area of shopping and the dispensary was great if not the best. As for the paramount quality of what product they make available, here medical patients have had a continuum of strengths and forms to choose from while other dispensaries were selling only teenths or none to medical patients! As a point of fact to future patients, my best ever orders have been my latest orders. For some immediate feedback, this is how my last purchase went: Street parking out front, no waiting outside, five minutes waiting inside, my turn and I get an eighth of Verano Motorbreath flower at 34% THC, a Verano Super Glue cartridge at 91% THC, two Mile High Mint bars, and two orange chocolate bars, each at less cost than any other dispensary! Mmmmmph!

The prices are fantastic given the competition. The selection is also great. I like that there are specials each week for flower, as well as discounted pricing if you meet certain criteria or join the membership club. I would encourage anyone in Chicago to check this dispensary out, since you get $30 off your first purchase just for signing up.

Good peeps, great variety.

Always very knowledgeable, most times I’m not sure what I need and they always help guide me to something that works great for me. Would recommend this dispensary to anyone!

I gotta hand it to these folks... they are doing this the right way. Very relaxed and chill atmosphere, super helpful staff, and the inside is what I would expect from a higher end dispensary in Colorado. If you're on the North side, this is the place to go.

Professonal and helpful staff, amazing selection and deals... great addition to the Jefferson Park area!

This was my first dispensary visit and the care is so fabulous that I have no reason to go elsewhere. I
have more than one qualifying condition and these folks do a great job of uncomplicating it all. Go here and you'll never regret it!

Very nice staff in a beautiful location. The products are great and very similar to those at other dispensaries. I found that the pricing was better for the vape cartridges compared to my previous dispensary.

walking in, it's a beautiful setting. the decor of the place is just as warm and welcoming as the staff. Ebony was such a delight to speak with! the budtenders were super nice, answered my question s and even waited patiently while I browsed their wares. This was my first time here and I came here happy, left even happier. You guys are great!

I’m a noob and went here upon receiving my card last week. I had no idea what to expect. The location is very convenient for me and ample parking nearby. The location definitely felt safe and secure.
Everyone was friendly - especially the very patient budtender who taught me about the different products available, and also helped recommend a few different strands based on my symptoms. I have slept like a baby every night since.
I’m definitely coming back!

Columbia helped me switch and did the process for me. What else can I ask for? Great service!

Great service and selection for med card holders!

Columbia Care gets a high rating from me. I decided to switch to Columbia Care from the only dispensary I've known since I became a patient three years ago. Columbia has a lot of great deals and incentives. The people who work there are friendly,knowledgeable and helpful. They make you feel comfortable and explain their different products. Seth gets a 5 out of 5 in his service he provided me today.

I believe a company is truly only as great as the people who embody the mission of your organization! The employees that represent this establishment are second to none! Thank you for the knowledge, and care you provide. It’s always a pleasure to see each, and everyone of you during visits.

At Colombia Care, the quality of the products, knowledge of the staff, and reasonability of the prices are second to none. From the moment you walk in until the moment you are medicated, CC provides an exceptional mmj experience.
