The Novel Tree - Bellevue

I've been in a handful of times. The people are always informed, friendly and helpful. The ganj has been just as advertised. Great addition to the neighborhood.

Recent transplant to the Seattle area, and I gave them a shot yesterday. Their prices are between $20-$30/g, which seems to be average for here, but the quality is outstanding. Based on Brian's knowledgable recommendations,I picked up 1g of Avitas Pineberry and 2g of Afghan Goo. Neither strain disappointed, and the store will be my go to for the time being.

This place is awesome. Upon being greeted the security professional will show you some menus and chat with you making you feel incredibly comfortable. Once at the counter you meet great friendly people who are more than ready to educate you on any of their products. I am excited to watch Novel Tree grow.

A light and airy feeling environment with great glass, great bud with lots of variety, and delightful staff who know their products. Prices are comparable to elsewhere but the numerous specials made my day. Visit and enjoy!

First off, it's cool they advertise not only their menu but their prices. The prices here are definitely lower than other shops on the Eastside, and the selection of flower is very good. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Convenient freeway access (just a couple blocks from the off-ramp.) Good choice for regulars and those who want to check out this whole "legal smoke" thing. Tried the Shiatsu Kush: Takes a little while to kick in, but a mellow and relaxed high, and certainly enough head buzz to make the world interesting. The relaxation brings a subtle weightless feeling to the torso and lower body -- a bit of floaty fun when walking. Overall, uplifting to body and mind. Good mood enhancer with undertones of "I think I'd like to hug somebody." Very mild taste for vaping. It was, however, on the dry side... this can be attributed to growing conditions and overdone drying prior to packaging. For greenhouse-grown, there is no excuse, but don't be put off by it here. What's missing is that added bit of moisture that makes smoke mellower during combustion. A Boveda packet is included if you want to use it. It's designed to emit moisture, so you store it with the herb to re-moisturize. But when VAPING herb this soft-tasting, it's not necessary. Also, the main weight loss for newly-grown flower (that ends up dry) is moisture as opposed to cannabinoids. That means you're getting more of the active ingredients (compared to non-dry herb) because it's sold by weight. Anyway, thumbs up on Shiatsu Kush, and the Novel Tree in Bellevue.

Great prices, great product, great people, nice location. I have not shopped anywhere else since Novel Tree opened.

Friendliest and most knowledgeable staff around. Prices and selection solid as well. Also a great store for anyone who enjoys CBD

The Novel Tree has a great formula for retail cannabis. The facility is warm and inviting, the staff is patient and knowledgeable, and the selection is good. I will be back.

Excellent store, great prices, wonderful staff, easy to find! What's not to like?

Nicest shop around! Its also really nice to see prices more on par with the rest of the state unlike the majority of other shops in this area. If you want the experience of an art gallery with friendly service and great selection of both high and low priced glass along side a killer selection of bud and treats give these guys a try.

One of the better recreational stores I've been to. I love the atmosphere and everyone I interacted with was extremely nice. The bud tenders patiently answered my endless barrage of questions about vape cartridges and concentrates, and politely ignored my obvious nervousness (I get anxious in rec shops for some reason... maybe just PTSD from the days of prohibition). They also have an interesting selection of strains that you won't necesssarily find at other stores. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I will definitely go back on occasion to stock up on some of the more uncommon items on their menu.

Can I just say that this was my first legal purchase and they made it amazing super friendly great space great SERVICE!!!!!! Wonderful selection and they helped me make amazing choices. One day Texas will follow suit and I can only hope it will be the same. Thank you for making my first experience a amazing!!

Thank you for treating a newbie so well! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and fun, and I have no hesitation in recommending The Novel Tree to my friends. I'll be back!

All around five star experience. I visited The Novel Tree for the first time a few weeks ago when I saw they were running a special. Drove over on my lunch break, set up looks awesome, very stylish and modern interior. Friendly greeting and ID check by the front door, super friendly and knowledgable help in picking out a strain, and totally reasonable donation pricing compared to a few other places on the eastside. In and out and very satisfied in just a few minutes. Plus it's across the street from Bellevue Brewing Company, what more could you want? I'll definitely be back, and I've been talking the place up to anyone who might be interested.

The best service and products around. They are a tad high on price but well with it.

This is the best place on the east side. I wish there were better public transit options to get there. But that's a reoccurring issue on the east side in general.

Beautiful store and displays along with great customer service. definitely a great selection of glassware as well!!

I have been in this store dozens of times as it is close to where I live. Every single time I visit I get wonderful customer service from the person at the door to the bud tenders. Sometimes it feels like a lot of these recreational stores have sort of a stuck up vibe and aren't making customers a priority. I miss the the medical stores where you would develop great relationships with the staff. The Novel Tree is the closest I have found to the feel of the medical stores. The Novel Tree has employees who take pride in putting their customers first. They all are very knowledgeable. You can tell the employees love working there! I highly recommend visiting them!

Great location, friendly staff and great quality products

Quality, location and price - the trifecta. I found this store through Leafly, searching for a shop that was convienently located, carried the strains I was interested in at a reasonable price. I was super stoked to find the Novel Tree! I was greeted by a professional at the door and my experience from that point on was top notch. Honestly, this was my first recreational purchase in a shop, and I see no reason to go anywhere else.

Great place to get what you need.

Friendly with huge selection, and a free J on my birthday (:

This is my favorite store in greater seattle. The selection of concentrates is rarely matched and $70 grams of tasty oils can't be beat. The staff knows their Cannabis and always has something new for me to try. I feel at home at the Novel Tree.

The Novel Tree is a welcoming, comfortable recreational marijuana shop. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Mary is a knowledgable, helpful budtender. There has obviously been a lot of thought and consideration of the customer put into this operation. We will be back soon. Love the Zoots!
