The Gallery - Tacoma

Excellent aethetitics, vibe, selection. prices seemed a little high, but all quality buds and quality glass.

I've been to a handful of shops in Pierce Co and have had pretty much the same experience in all of them. Someone sits in an entryway alcove checking IDs. I have had my ID checked every single time despite the fact that I'm in my 40s. This doesn't bother me in the least as I figure rules are rules and they are just following them. I am prepared now whenever I go into a shop and just have my ID handy. The budtenders have been helpful everywhere I've gone; answering questions and making suggestions when I ask for them. This is the first place the folks behind the counter actually 'spoke my language' and made good suggestions! The first time I was turned onto a strain that turned out to be exactly what I was looking for and did everything the tender told me it would. It's one of my two favorite strains. My second favorite came from my second visit here. Different tender, but same great listening skills and she turned me on to a second strain to blend with the first. Now despite what's going on in my life I can quickly become 'the happiest person on the planet' and still be energized and not couch-locked. I look forward to more visits and to what other new favorites they introduce me to. The only suggestion I have at all is to have someone knowledgeable available for the head-shop portion. The Tenders are busy doing what they do. It would be great if during my pre-purchase stroll through their goods there was someone available to see if I have any questions and talk about some of what they have.

I get bud from these fine folks everyday, and I can't say that it's going to stop. Like ever. Great people and quality. They actually know what they're talking about rather than the wannabes here and there that hire just anybody's that don't even partake. Just sayin. Loyal customer right here! Thanks yall.

Everyone is pleasant and helpful.

First let me start by saying I am a teacher and this store is no where near my home because I don't want to find out how "understanding" parents, teachers, principals would be seeing me leaving a dispensary, no matter HOW legal it is. I initially was using the "Spanaway" Gallery, but began using the "Tacoma" Gallery because it was closer to me. All experiences up to the final one I just had this past Tuesday have been good, but hey, when you're spending 100 bucks per visit (not a lot to the boss, but a lot from my meager pockets) people are going to be nice.... But you find out about customer service when you're RETURNING an item and NOT when you're spending the money. I purchased a 1 gram oil cartridge from Delta Vape Refill (Pineapple Express) on Monday, the 24th. I chose this one because it's one of the very few 1 gram cartridges for a reasonable price (40 bucks). Well I opened it, tried it, and it sucked right off the bat! It leaked, and also gave me a light, barely existent vape. No worries, I have my receipt, my original packaging and although it is a long drive back, I head back the very next day to "return/exchange for the same or similar product," as it says on the receipt. I walk in, the ID checker says, "oh you have a problem with the cartridge? They'll take care of you." Awesome. Walk in with my stuff, tell my story and the first thing I hear is, "Don't take anything out of the bag, and where's your receipt?" Weird greeting, like I'm a criminal. Never felt like that when I'm buying product...okaaaay. I do as I'm told, we walk outside in front of the building to have her attempt to fix my vape. Again, weird..why are we outside of the business, looking shady, when I'm simply here to return this product with all the proper documentation? She pokes into the vape line, attaches it to her battery then I take a puff. It works fine, except the other issue was the cartridge had also been leaking. I say to her, so if it continues to leak and I have to come back AGAIN, will you then take this back? She goes in and gets the receipt and says yes, but by that time, I'm thinking, why the HELL would I come back to this place, drive all the way BACK out here to feel like I'm trying to pull one over on the gallery, when I simply want a working product that I paid for, or a different cartridge? Very long story short? The cartridge still leaks (losing money), still sucks (don't buy Delta vape products, you'll be sorry), and I'm left saying heeell no I'm not driving out there again. I'll just find a different dispensary. Up to this point all had been well, and upon attempting to return a product (never have before) all was not well.

The menu and pricing online is always better and cheaper than in store. Super disappointed in the selection. This used to be my go to place, now it's 112th st cannabis for their endless variety in prerolls and accurate menu. Plus, cheaper prices!

What can I say about the Gallery Tacoma that hasn't already been said? The location is large, but very empty, almost cavernously, since they've opened a separate section to sell all of their glassware. The budtenders are friendly, but the one I worked with last was generally clueless. The prices are decent for flower and edibles, but pretty steep for cartridges. The biggest issue, though, is that I dropped almost $200 on weed and weed related edibles, and it's all just crap. Their signature Dutchberry, while recently harvested for me, is completely lackluster. The Banana Kush, grown by Antoine Farms, doesn't deserve the Tommy Chong branding they've given it. The Thai Girl Juju Joint that the budtender recommended as "one of the best strains out there" works just fine - it just, doesn't get you high. So far, the only thing I've had from here from my most recent visit (12/9/16) that's at all decent is the root beer flavored hard candies from Uncle Roaner's Alchemy, which is actually not what was advertised at all. And that glassware that they've moved to their new section? Hideously overpriced. Hideously. $30+ for a simple spoon, $150+ for a 2 chamber tree perc bong. Oh, and because it had snowed the day before, or perhaps because the building is old and crappy, there were buckets all over the floor to collect water from the leaking roof, and it was cold and drafty inside. All that being said, if you want to buy good glass, from local artists, at reasonable prices, go to a head shop. And, if you want to buy good weed, go somewhere other than the Gallery Tacoma. Because, while the budtenders are friendly, they'll tell you anything you want to hear.

A solid spot to get your greens!

This place is awesome!!! The Gallery has a great staff who are very friendly, knowledgeable, and are never pushy. I love the upscale gallery vibe as well as all their products I've had to date. I can't wait to see the growth of The Gallery!!!

They do not care about customers at all, they will rush you right out the door. Every gallery is the same, all for profit, go anywhere else and you'll have a better experience...

this is my second visit here.. HAD to come back and check out the glass!! they had a couple strains I wanted to try, on their online menu(on leafly). they had all but one in stock! the sales woman(didn't catch her name) was EXCELLENT!! She took her time(and probably nearly all her patience!! lol). with me, as I perused the menu.. she was probably the most knowledgeable/helpful sales people I've had at any of the rec shops, to date! she made a couple recommendations on strains, one of which is one of my new favorites!! I've got a HUGE tolerance, and its rare I find a strain that puts a perma grin on my face for HOURS!! she recommended Dutch Hawaiian og.... absolutely KILLER hybrid!!!(total ear to ear perma grin bud!!). I will definitely be back! I highly recommend this place to everyone!! absolutely top notch!!

First time in spot , I was super impressed with the buds. Great atmosphere!!!

I love The Gallery! I love the atmosphere, I love the prices, and I especially love love love the staff. They are family.😊

I moved to Pierce County from Seattle and have been looking for a new place to buy my medicine. My friend Sandra D. suggested the Gallery to me and she was so right about their nice staff, great atmosphere and quality cannabis.

Great place. Great staff. Great prices. What else is there to say?

I love this place go here all the time have been since they opened hopefully never to close

Everyone that works here is beautiful lol

Love this store! What can I say but the staff is always cheerful and very knowledgeable. Arial and Lauren are my favorite Budtenders and always point me in the right direction for my needs. Store is always clean and well stocked, parking could use some improvement since I have a larger full-size truck.

Everything about this particular location is PERFECT! The prices, the people, and most importantly: the variety. A wide but superior selection is necessary to make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck. The Gallery never sells me anything less than excellent and I am always one-hundred percent certain I am going to be enjoying my purchase without regrets. 100/100 recommend The Gallery!

Check the date on all purchases. Some stuff is from October of 2015. Prices are a little high too.

Very beautiful art gallery themed store with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Not the largest selection but always top quality concentrates with multiple 90%+ THC dabs available!

Wow! Not what I expected at all. It's like being in a very nice high-end store/gallery. Wonderful people, great selection, great store!

I had such a wonderful experience I wanted to brag to upper management. unfortunately I brought my family visiting from Virginia at a time management was busy so Kirsten encouraged me to leave a review. I've gone to several shops including other gallery locations and have always had medicore service. What a blessing it was to have been greeted so warmly by a sweet southern voice and as a sweet southern lady should she has so much patience when my flock of hens. we annoyed her with all of our dumb questions but she answered each one with such grace she truly wanted us to know exactly what we wanted and exactly how to use it. we need more people in the service industry like kirsren. I will be going to this gallery for all of my meds from now on even if it's not the closest to my house.
