it was my first time going to a dispensery and I can say I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I walked in the place was very clean and professional, and I definitely enjoy just going to see what they had, great prices and I am happy with all that I bought

I liked the store a lot. Even though it was not that busy, no line or customers waiting I still felt a little rushed.
When I asked for an explanation ref one of the newer product the staff member was at a loss to explain. She was friendly , helpful and tried to give me an answer, but clearly did not have one. I had to skip that part of my planned purchase instead.
The prices are much better than some of the local competition, although the edibles seemed priced way too high to be of any value. still I purchased a little to give out to friends.
I felt welcomed and will be going back again.

I was lucky enough to attend the the Holiday party Novel Tree threw for its employees and +1's (aka me) Having been a customer for only a few months it was refreshing to see that the approach Chris & Allie take with their store is genuinely reflected in the way they care for their employees. The event was full of awesome encounters, great music, tasty food and even a little glass blowing. When you read the "about us" section of the website you can rest assured, they are not joking. These folks truly care about finding you exactly what you need to feel good. Not to mention, they are almost encyclopedic in their product knowledge. I'm also told they have at least one gold medal blunt roller on staff. All in all, you will not likely find a more genuine, insightful, and caring group of people in this industry. You can visit any number of dispensaries in this area, but if you want honest, accurate recommendations and quality product you start here. I was not paid for this endorsement ;-)

The Jack Herer they have here is probably not only the best of this strain I've ever had but one of the best sativas I've ever had.

Knowledgable staff, great selection. Still wrapping my head around retail pricing, though. For me, it was a bit spendy but worth the extra few bucks for some new variety.

I am stoked that I can purchase cannabis legally, and am extremely grateful to be able to do so at the Novel Tree. I feel totally welcome there and don't want to leave once I'm in the door. I've been meeting with very helpful bud tenders at the main counter and have even met one of the owners - all of them are great people!..
So far I've purchased an eight of Afghan #1, two grams of White Widow, and gram quantities of: Afgooey, Hawaiian Dream, Lemon Skunk, Dutch Haze, Blueberry Trainwreck, , Blue Dream, Durban Poison and Super Lemon Haze. The Afghan #1 is my favorite, followed closely by the White Widow; both of them are very stoney!!! Their Strawberry Cough is next on my list when I go back later this week.
These guys love to talk pot, and I get excited to be in the presence of like minded people. The store is in a perfect location, and it's only a few miles from my home. The prices are fair ... I can't wait to go back.
Cons:
Although, they have a wide selection of shatter/wax - they don't have any creams or bubble hash!!! I'm a hash kinda guy ;) - still 5 stars tho....

The Novel Tree is far and away the best shop I've been to. Great service, quality, selection, and prices.
The Novel Tree is a bit of a drive from my place and there are 3 or 4 closer but The Novel Tree is completely worth it.

Great shop with a helpful staff. We'll be regular customers for sure.

As one would expect in Bellevue, The Novel Tree is a very high class establishment. When I arrived I was surprised that the door man was queuing clients up for when a Budtender became available. This reminded me a lot of visiting an Apple store but with a much shorter wait.
Once my Budtender became available, I had her undivided attention until I decided I wanted to peruse the menu in peace. Once I had more questions or needed advice, I once again had the same young lady's undivided attention - this was wonderful.
There was no pressure from the Budtenders, and they were fairly unbiased in their recommendations. I'm somewhat of a novice with this stuff, but they were still able to help me with every question even if my lingo was wrong.
Prices are a bit higher than other stores in the general area, but I'd expect no less in Bellevue. Their prices seem to run about $5-15 dollars per strain higher than competitors who carry the exact same product. That said, I was happy to pay the premium price for the level of service that I received.
The store itself reminds me somewhat of an art gallery, and as such seems somewhat crowded even when it's not
In all, I would recommend this store to anyone looking for top shelf product in the Bellevue / Redmond area.

I was a bit nervous to go to a cannabis shop on my own until after I visited The Novel Tree. I wanted to purchase a vaporizer and called around to a few shops to figure out what I wanted before I headed in. I spoke with Alley on the phone and she spent a lot of time explaining the options with me until I was comfortable with my choice (Pax 2).
Visiting the shop was more like going to a boutique. The decor was on trend and didn't feel like a "pot shop". Their selection of high CBD strains is the best in the area and the staff are knowledgable (more so than other shops I've visited).
I highly recommend this place!

Awesome shop! Great product. Staff actually answered my questions without looking at me like i was dumb. Love this place.

I have been coming to the Novel Tree exclusively since early November 2014. I am continually knocked over by the quality, both of the products and the service. I have never had a question unanswered. And when I have a question the particular bud tender is unsure of, it will lead to a friendly discussion until the answer is confidently arrived at. I have been steared away from options that may not fill my unique requirements. There is nothing not to recommend. The Novel Tree is exactly what a retail marijuana shop should be. I also look forward to the frequent Meet The Farmer events. Always an informative and satisfying experience. Can't recommend enough.

Repeat customer here. Continued great selection. Very competitive prices on flower. I greatly look forward to oil/concentrate prices coming down in general. Not a knock on NT but on general availability for that product.

Great shop, honest salesman, fantastic deals! This is by far the best I've experienced in the price realm. 40$ for 4g? That's almost better than street price. Guy even dissuaded me from buying one of their bongs cuz it was a lil shoddy. Keep it up novel tree!

Good location, great service, very helpful, quality buds, good prices. What more could you want?

The Novel Tree is by far the best recreational weed store in the Seattle area. I have been to Cannabis City, Ganja Goddess, Uncle Ike's and a few others. The staff is extremely warm, knowledgeable and helpful. They have the lowest prices I've seen, especially compared to the other store in Bellevue. They have an amazing range of products. I especially like the new strains they have brought in by Raven Grass, the quality is superb!

Love this place. Super friendly and helpful staff. Bright and sunny location across from hater chicken. The budtender greeted me when I came in and asked me what I liked. Took me all around the store and showed me everything I asked about. He was super patient and not pushy at all. He was very knowledgeable and even tossed in free swag! Girls love swag. :)
