Takoma Wellness Center

Can't say enough about the staff. Everybody is friendly and helpful from the minute you walk through the door until the minute you walk out. I usually know what I want before I even get there so it's usually a quick trip. However, I've had some questions about certain strains and was met with detailed answers with no pressure to any particular strain or product. One of the first "retail" experiences that has been entirely pleasant. Can't wait to go back soon!

Absolute joke. Don't come here if don't have a dc medical card. My out of state medical card didn't work. Never will come back here again

I understand this is new dc but I think it could be handled better. I did not have a good experience. person at the desk was fairly rude (don't know they're name). Prices are not very compassionate. Also, selection keeps dissipating over the last couple months I've gone.

the best shop EVER!!

Excellent selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff. A pleasure to visit

Amazing place. Good location. Friendly and knowledgeable staff makes this a must visit.

stay away from this place

I visited today for the first time & I felt extremely welcome the minute I walked in! The owners are so kind & very caring, very knowledgeable budtenders (Tazz helped me out, took lots of time to answer questions & suggest good strains for me) & just a great place. The selection of flower here is crazy good, they were having sales which is always nice. They carry just about everything you can think of for this area. Highly recommended, even if it’s a little bit of a drive, definitely check Takoma Wellness Center out. You will not regret it :)

TWC is the best! Great selection and super friendly and knowledgable staff. Glad to have this as my local dispensary!

I've visited the Takoma Wellness Center on a few occasions and really felt compelled this time to recognize the folks that keep the place running! From the time you enter this place, the customer service is impeccable. The front desk is always pleasant, Cathy and Darryl are great and Halima makes you feel soooo very comfortable with her patience and education! I learn something new every time I visit with this crew!

This place is amazing! The staff is so friendly and helpful, the products are AWESOME, it's simply the best. I was welcomed by one of the owners who shared her family's story with me and the background of their business. She then introduced me to Tazz. Tazz introduced me to the entire staff and gave me a thorough tour of the dispensary and all the products and services they offer. He then recommended strains specific to my and my grandma's symptoms, from flower to oil to edibles, he knows it all! The products are exactly as described on the labels and absolutely the best experiences with medicine either of us has had. It's been a blessing for my grandmother to have access to different options for ingesting so she can treat her symptoms without having to smoke. I left this place in pain from smiling so much and can't wait to go back!!!

Love coming here, good vibes always. All of the staff are warm and welcoming, and the product is fantastic. I can always count on feeling comfortable and learning something new about cannabis. Tazz is especially helpful, he introduces me to wonderful strains that I may not have tried without his advice. TWC is the best dispensary in the DMV!

I hadn't visited Takoma in over a year, and was happily surprised to see that the shop continues to evolve and get better. Parking, which used to be difficult, has been much improved thanks to a few lot attendants. I love the outdoor, pick-up window! As someone who is VERY picky about the cannabis they consume, ordering online just doesn't work. The industry just isn't consistent enough (yet) for me to trust that the stain I loved last go around will be just as well cured and dialed in this time around. Another thing that has gotten even better: speed of service. It took 14 min from the time I pulled in, until I got back in my car to leave, and it was a Friday afternoon. Funny cuz half the time I'm at shops that are empty that make me wait longer. Last thing I'll say is that I like that the store is owned by a local DC family. In this day and age, so important to support small businesses over big corporations. Takoma - I will see you again soon!!

While I understand the politics going on with the grow facilities in the city, I cannot bring myself to spend the money on medication that is exorbitantly high for a product that is mediocre at best, i.e. 35% concentrates compared to >70% average in most places in Colorado/Washington. I lived in Denver which is taxed just as high if not higher than DC, yet their prices remain wildly lower (even recreational is cheaper in Denver!!!!) and their product is also far superior. I don't buy the "blame the grower only" stance taken by some of the previous reviews. I question whether or not this is truly a compassionate venture, rather than a calculated business opportunity taken advantage of by those who could afford it. I probably will not return until prices drop, quality/quantity increases, and med laws change. Very disappointed.

This place is great. The staff are knowledgeable and do everything to make sure you leave happy.

love this place and the people are fantastic

I have been a patient of Takoma Wellness for two years. I am very frustrated with them. At the beginning, it was a small program, and the prices were very high, but they would go out of their way to help you select a medically appropriate medicine, and to help you find a physician and get your card. Now they serve many more patients and the service is brusque and I feel like I am imposing on them. Having to look over what's on the receipt in order to get what I purchase is a time-consuming, awkward, and un-needed step. When I call them now, as I did about my medical card renewal, nobody answered the phone, nobody returned my voicemails. When I had trouble renewing my card, an employee snarkily suggested I could just stop being in the program altogether. Their prices are the highest in the country for medical marijuana and I am sick of making excuses for high prices and abrupt service. I am taking my business elsewhere. They don't seem to care about losing patients anyways now that they have expanded.

#1 dispensary!!! Best experience ever. I was not sure what to expect on my first visit to a Medical Marijuana dispensary, but nothing could have prepared me for the most memorable moments. From the time I was greeted at the front door by professional security staff, the orientation by Cathy was excellent and so informative- ( they have a RN -who understood my condition and explained how cannabis works on the body) and the final step in the dispensary was the icing on the cake. I was introduced to all the consultants and given a tour. Halima took so much time with me and really made me feel comfortable . I give them my stamp of approval and would recommend them to all my friends and family. A #1 - healthcare at its best.

Awesome! From the second I got greeted by the doorman/security to the second I was walked out. I immediately felt welcomed. The registration process was super easy and fast. Then came the fun part! They were quick to get someone to help me and like I mentioned before, everything about this experience was awesome. Todd- was the gentleman that assisted me, very nice, respectful and courteous. He gave me a full Tour of the Clinic and educated me on all the kinds and effects of their products. He was very patient and had all the answers! Todd was great and very informative. I left the clinic feeling sure and happy with my purchase. I will definitely be coming back and spreading the word. Overall great experience, so happy I visited.

Jacob and the staff were super helpful /knowledgeable and even spotted me $10🥲🫡 to get a strain i was interested in but didn’t bring enough cash for. THANKS GUYS

Best thing since sliced bread prices are higher then street price but worth the peace of mind

Ive had quite a few recommendations and suggestions for strains. All of the clerks know the strains, but I want to thank Helima for her patience and knowledge. On a recent visit, she assisted me, and took the time to explain the benefits of the strain I was interested in. I suffer from "phantom pain" and she recommended Blue Cheese. It was a great recommendation. It has really helped alleviate my chronic pain, w/o dulling me. I truly appreciate the time Helima spent w/me. The service is always warm and patient. The front desk folks are always welcoming & Kathy always provides great information & education. I would recommend this location to my friends and family!

Next to Verizon center and FedEx field this is my favorite place to go. Very welcoming and relaxed environment. Dominque always greats by name me at the door , Tazz consistently updates me on the newest of the new with helpful information to cure my ailments. What a beautiful place. Darrell is also a friendly face and great convo.

I immediately knew by the hamsas and Hebrew that I would love this place. Takoma Wellness is the epitome of professionalism and compassion. Everyone, from the security guard to the receptionist to the folks who bring out your order, is friendly, well-informed, and nonjudgmental. Unlike some of the places I've visited in California and Washington state, there's no creepiness or pothead vibe. The waiting room is comfortable and full of information for caretakers and those curious about the use of cannabis as medicine. The warm, holistic approach made even some of my more conservative family members comfortable taking me in to get my medicine. I am being treated for a spinal cord injury and mental illness, and the fine folks of TW were able to help me find the best strains and applications for day- and night-time treatment of both--even recommending cheaper products than the ones I was considering if they thought they would be better for me. I went in already very knowledgeable about the use of cannabis for treating some of my conditions, but I ended up learning more and am excited to try out the plethora of product they have to offer. I'm so glad I chose TW as my dispensary, and will certainly be renewing with them when it's time to re-up my green card.
