We went to take advantage of some Blue Dream on sale & were happily surprised with how clean the store is. The staff we're especially enjoyable too & the gentleman who helped us was knowledgeable, curious, and accommodating. Their security here is great which is good because the location is sketchy by Portland standards. Though I'm pretty new to canna-world I could actually tell the bud was a little less quality when we looked at it at home. For example the Sour Tsunami at PO had 7% less CBD than the flower at a place in SE. Some of the flower was stemmy & over dried looking in comparison to the same strain at the SE place. Perhaps "you get what you pay for" rings true when it comes to flower. Anyway since we bought strains to make a tincture, I guess it's ok that our flower wasn't the best. Regardless we'd go back.

That weed was so garbage ill never get it again....
I've been shopping here for years. They have great strains at great prices. It is a nice welcoming atmosphere. Most of the budtenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Obviously popular strains at good prices sell out quickly and this is my biggest problem with this dispensary. I'm coming from a 20+ minute drive away and don't always know if the leafly menu is accurate still. I've tried calling ahead to make sure they have the Strain I'm looking for and it is extremely rare for them to answer the phone and they will never call you back if you leave a message as they request you to. So I thought I found another solution, just order the Strain I want here on leafly and then it will be reserved for me right? Nope not at all, this dispensary does NOT pull your leafly order when you place it. My order said it was ready for pickup. I had to wait until after work to pick it up. By the time I got there the Strain I wanted was down to shake and B buds and they barely had an ounce. I walked in and said I'd like an ounce and the budtender said sorry this is all we have left. I said maybe mine is packed already because I ordered it on leafly. The budtender said nope they don't pack it ahead of time. I have never had this happen at any other dispensary, or any retail store for that matter. Telling someone their product is ready for pickup then selling it all to other people before that customer is available to pick it up makes the entire leafly order process pointless.
So they have some good weed at good prices, but good luck getting it. They don't answer the phone or prepack leafly orders. So basically just drive there with your fingers crossed and hope they have what you want when you get there.
Five star dispensary all the way, but not having my "order ready for pickup" leafly order easily drops it to 3 stars. I love this place, I've gotten many great deals; but the lack of answering the phone or actually having your leafly order ready makes getting what you want a crap shoot.

Good location, although sometimes parking can be a challenge. The prices are reasonable and the people working here are friendly and helpful. I'd easily recommend this place to others.

So, I went to Puddletown off of powell and I decided to purchase the more expensive strain for it's obvious medical benefits. Super lemon haze. I took it home and , when I smoked, it began to crackle and fizzle with small sparks emitting. Apparent lack of flushing in the final stage. I call to ask about why the plants weren't flushed completely or if they even consider that process when selecting vendors. The young woman on the phone began to speak as if I'm crazy and I'm the only person to experience this. After her toungue and cheek remarks, I began to inquire into their screening process for vendors, but while I'm talking I can hear the woman giggling with a co-worker about our conversation while not listen in to my concerns. I'm seriously unsatisfied with the employee's phone demeanor and even further shocked at the level of ineptitude portrayed by a business that claims to help people. I need medicine that isn't horribly grown and then sold at a massive price. You would think that these places have the patient's best interests in mind, but when they mock my complaints over the phone, I can only assume that Puzzlers organics is only concerned with money. For a company with 'organic' in the name, you would think that the medicine would have no left over nutrients in the plant causing a harsh feeling on the lungs of a medical patient. I will not recommend this place, nor continue to shop here. I will also spread the word from dispensary to dispensary about Puddletown organics and the fact that they sell low quality bud at top shelf price.
4th time visiting this dispensary in SE Portland and it has now become my #2 dispensary. Prices are fair and quality is good. Location on Powell is the only bad thing. I hope they relocate to a safer, quieter area.
I made an online order and when I went to pick it up they didn’t have most of my order in stock. I was given a discount but it was disappointing for my first visit.

Clean place. Set up nicely. Had troubles with their door buzzer. Decent looking meds, but definitely not the quality I look for. After smoking these meds for just one night, my throat was super sore and I was sneezy all night. I am thinking the grower did not flush very well. Overall, this is a clean store with nice folks working there, but they need better meds and could make the place feel more "homey".

I'd first like to start out by saying that everybody who I interacted with at this store was kind, friendly, and respectful. I had a great experience while I was in the store, everyone was joking and chatting and it was a great atmosphere. However, I was looking to buy a concentrate to dab - when I asked about whether or not a certain bubble hash was dabbable (full melt hash), the attendant who was aiding me told me that it was. It went home to have a dab of it, and it didn't melt properly while leaving a nasty tasting black residue on my nail that won't burn off. It was absolutely NOT full melt hash. Went in to get dabs and came out with a ruined nail and a waste of money on a product I was told was what I wanted. Great...

Typically carries some higher quality product with an array of budget friendly buds. The workers are pretty cool, a few of them dont regurgitate the same uninformed speach about indicas and sativas which is nice. Also i dont know if they have some type of commision system but it seems every worker is eager to mention the newest strain (regardless if they have tried it or not) but they have plenty to choose from just scope out their different jars!
easily in the Top 10 of Portland dispensaries (that ive been to)

I've been to Puddletown several times & have always been happy with it. Today, however, wasn't great. My service dog had to be put down after 12 years as my 24/7 companion. I had a very special bond with my Harry & my grief is immeasurable. I went online to order an eighth Purple Hindu Kush. I needed something to calm me & help me sleep. The shop is out of my way but it's always worth it...except today. I got there, I waited in line & they not only didn't have my order but they had replaced the PHK with Jager. I enjoy Hager as a drink but I've never smoked the weed version & wanted what I knew would work. I also would've appreciated a 'heads. up' instead of a message that my order was ready. The young woman behind the counter seemed to think that I changed the order which, I assured her that I did not. Normally, I'd not have written a poor review but I really needed help today & this cost me time & shopping around to get what I know works for me.

I love most of the staff here. they sell my gmo cookies and other resin ranchers strains. they are the most expensive resin ranchers carriers that I know of but in their area nobody elses weed compares except ARCHIVE BAAABY... we will get to them though...their other weed is very affordable I dont buy it but to each his own. anyhow I did buy a quarter for 30 bucks though...bad idea anywhere really...but yea the peeps are cool and they have the weed I want when all the lower priced shops are tapped out. oh and they give me dope discounts

Descent dispensary with descent prices. They have a pretty good gram preroll for just five bux. tax included. Cant beat that. They were out the last time i was in though!!! Just a lil scary place to go at night if your not accustomed to the area. But overall a good shop.

Gart people great prices

Great location. I can always count on them for low prices and high quality bud.

Puddletown is your friendly neighborhood potshop. For a driver it isn't the best location but this is Portland and it's so conveniently located that getting there by bus, max, or bike is delightfully simple. This excellent unassuming shop always has good bud in stock. The staff are excellent, each hire is a character unto themselves, and will always be there with advice whether you're looking for something specifically weed related or a bacon taco recipe. (BACON!) As far as the pricing in this shop goes well you get what you pay for. They know what they're selling. This is definitely my go to store.
