A very nice shop! Robert Downy Jr was my bud tender, and he was helpful and charismatic showing me various options for what I was looking to buy with the budget I was working with. He knew right away what the best looking buds were and they were mighty good looking! He even cut me a deal when we went over budget by a smidge. More and more bud shops are opening up all over town. Some good. Some pretty rough around the edges. American Mary is definitely one of the best in the U-District / Wallingford area. read more

Awesome! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Professionalism is key here! All of the staff have followed COVID 19 precautions and as a customer I really appreciate that. Great selection that's constantly changing. Also great rewards program. read more

Usually I go to American Mary because it's closest to me, but today I had such a bad experience and will not be going back anytime soon. I got bad weed from them the other day so I came back to buy more and tell them about it and no one cared or acknowledged what we were saying even though we were the only ones in the store. The bud tender was weird and mean and he had this Bane from batman type of mask on so I couldn't hear anything He was saying. When I asked questions he just looked at me and would answer in a passive aggressive way or wouldn't answer at all. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Vibe killed. read more

I had a great experience here. As someone who smokes once every couple months and am very uneducated about cannabis products thanks to the great help from Justice, I didn't feel looked down upon for my ignorance lol thank you! read more

Walked in needing some shisha for my hookah. The shop is layed out well and is probably the most "roomy" head shop I've ever been in, I didn't feel crowded by cabinets or tacky signs. The glass itself seems to be very good quality, at least on an aesthetic level. The shisha selection was good, and they had some different flavors than I've seen before. Piked up some blackberry and some after nine (chocolate and mint). The salesguy was super nice and made casual conversation that made me feel comfortable, a rare experience in either tobacco shop or head shop. It was the most pleasant of my shisha buying experiences. read more

I've been here quite a few times, however today their customer service was lacking. Came in with my husband to buy some things and was asked if we were purchasing together for me to wait outside in the rain to let more customers in. We were right in the beginning of the sale and I wasn't even able to ask the questions I needed to before essentially being asked to leave. Pretty lame. read more

This shop doesn't look like much from the outside, but I'm always struck by how immaculate it is upon entrance. And everything follows a clean attention to detail. The cases are all well picked to feature herb next to their prospective prices, which are also projected on the wall. The staff has additionally been attentive and quick to help each time I have been in. I have never felt pushed into the purchases I ended up making. I'd like a wider selection though. I felt like 'Elevate Cannabis' was the only top shelf grower they had last visit. read more

I asked for the 200 mg soda which she explained was not 200 thc but 100/100. I asked if there were any deals on the 100 mg thc drinks if I got two (my local shop often does this), and she said no. I decided to get two. Then I wanted to grab a pax pod. I asked about cartridges, and they had 4 different pax pods. I asked the price and she told me 45. Mid order she then left to help other customers, and I had a question about the pods. So I left and got 100 bucks. About seven minutes later, she comes back. I was aware I was asking a lot of questions, but I'm pretty new to most of the strains. So all she said was that there were three hybrids and a sativa. I asked what the difference between the hybrids was and she proceeded to give me the gem of knowledge that "New Orange Cookies" tastes like orange, but nothing else. Then when we checked out the order was 105 and I had 102. I asked if they could do a three dollar discount (my local shop does this regularly so I didn't think it could hurt to ask), and she rudely snapped at me and said no. It would have been fine, I understand that each store has different policies - but throughout the entire process she was incredibly rude. I even apologized for being indecisive because I thought that's why she was frustrated, but she didn't respond. She just rang me up, sighed heavily and said "have a nice day." Not coming back here, lost a regular customer. read more

The prices here are always great, and the staff is helpful. It's a good shop to stop in and get your cannabis needs met.

The best pot shop in North Seattle! I came in on a Saturday night and the budtenders were busy with a packed shop. I walked around browsing the shelves getting my questions ready for my turn. Soon enough they were ready to help me out, I explained what I wanted and my desired effects and the Budtender lit up. They excitedly showed me a strain that fit my needs exactly, and was way cheaper than the pot shops I've previously been too. This location is smack dab in the center of munchie heaven so make sure you grab some grub after you load up at American Mary. read more

anyone who is rating this place lowly is a sad and miserable person. every employee i've talked to has been wonderful and beyond helpful. ryan in particular has been great whenever i see him, super helpful and nice. from the security all the way to quality, i have never been to a better dispensary. hands down best spot in seattle read more

I loved American Mary. I run a coffee shop that is also a proponent of cannabis based blog. We do cannacrawls all the time.We enjoyed this dispensary for its open floor feel, and its wide range of deals and products. We were served by Sky, and she was fantastic- also recommended a beautiful Jack H. Sativa which is one of my favorites. She made us feel at home. She was not pretentious about the green nor trying to 'over sell' us. Many dispensaries push on you a certain way, but she was cool, smooth and let us take our time as we browsed through numerous strains.This store has an array of great products. Enjoy and keep up the positive vibes, AM! read more

Awesome immediate excellent customer service by Charlie. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all of his products. Good selection but really what made the difference was the friendly customer service. I spent more than I had intended but he gave me a discount and I left with a smile on my face. Would definitely recommend to others and I will certainly return again. Suck it, piece of mind! read more

How are you gonna paint over Hendrix? Seriously won't even give this shop dime. Their actions speak loud and clear.

Although I don't smoke, I went here to meet a family friend who was buying a birthday gift for a friend. This was my first experience in a glass shop, and I gotta say I was impressed. The craftsmanship in some of the more decorative pieces were AMAZING. One one more extravagant piece was priced at $10,800! Pretty awesome to see, regardless. Also, the man at the register was nice and helpful with my cousins purchase of a pipe. He was also calm and welcoming as a few of my friends were with me as we browsed. Great experience. Awesome glass work. read more

American Mary is by far the most unprofessional business I have ever stepped foot in. I didn't get a chance to ask for the guys name but it's the guy that checks I.D.'s when you first come in to the dispensary. I'm late to a dinner party and the I.D. man just keeps telling me to get out cause my I.D. is fake. I asked if I could have it back cause I'm 25 and I know it's NOT FAKE. He told me to call the cops or leave. So I left with NO I.D. cause I have a dinner party. I came back a couple hours later and I walk in and the I.D. man says I need to call the cops to get it back. I chuckled, pulled out my phone and called the cops. So I called the cops and waited 45 min for them to show up. Once they did, they walked in ask the guy for my I.D. and the cop hands it right back to me. American Mary has the worst employee of year winner!! Congrats, I went to Lux Pot Shop, right after I got my I.D. back from the cops and man that place was great!! To the I.D man, your a joke and your job is a joke. Actually everything about this place is a joke so maybe this is your career in life. Checking I.D.'s and be a joker. read more

Only writing this review because i know the bud here is trash, awful selection and I actually needed bud today in seattle so I figured id get one pre-roll from there. Apparently they dont accept vertical ids, and ontop of that the tender was condescending. Screw this janky place, do not recommend. read more

Puffin Glass is my favorite shop in the area, no question. I frequent quite a few shops and previously stayed close to home on Capitol hill. After moving I branched out a little bit and ended up at Puffin Glass. The first thing I have to say is WOW, their selection was awesome. Jared was a super chill dude who obviously knew what he was talking about. Because I have a hard time not buying everything I want when I first go into a shop, I didn't even pick anything up. Jared pulled at least 20 items from the case for me and answered all my questions openly and honestly. Puffin glass is officially my new go to shop! They also carry a lot of the big names in the game like toro, sheldon black, illadelph, roor and many others. One thing that really caught my eye was some of the amazing hand made artist pieces. They had some awesome stuff from Salt Glass and Snic Barnes which is a treat just to have in your hands! ***Also they are a store who carrys grunge off, for those of you who know about and swear by it! read more

Omg love!!! I was visiting my sister in the area...lots of shops to choose from and to be honest we went into a couple and I was disappointed. However, when I walked into American Mary, I was so thrilled with the customer service, eclectic product and killer knowledge with answers to all of my questions! Great shop! I will be back again! read more

I went into American Mary after a long day and I was not happy with my experience. I went to purchase my weed and they took a look at my ID for the second time and the manager looked at me and said I can't take this because it's fake. He accused me of having a fake ID in front of 6 or 7 customers and threatened to call the cops. They finally rang me out after they found out it was real but I felt disrespected in the way they accused me instead of taking another look. read more

Hit or miss. The lady working there most of the time is suuuuper helpful and nice. The dude with the dreads is super rude and condescending. I asked him about any specials/recommendations and I guess he didn't like that because he skipped right to the next person in line read more

I love this dispensary. From my first visit the service is really good. It gets busy so sometimes you have to wait a sec, but these budtenders are really good at matching your description of what you want with the right product. What I have really grown to appreciate though, is the relationship I've developed with a couple of the budtenders. After having had the same budtender twice, it seemed that he was almost always there and he remembered my preferences. That alone strikes me as remarkable given the number of customers he must interact with every day. But what really keeps me coming back is that every single time I've come away with exactly what I wanted. All the budtenders are friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Since the advent of 502 our medicine is all sealed up and theres no way to really know what you're getting until you get it home. More than once I've had a budtender that literally does not smoke weed and has no idea what she's talking about, or one who simply doesn't have the familiarity with the products to recommend anything. Not so here. Add to that the AMAZING range of products available and you have a real winner. read more

Just moved to Seattle from Honolulu about 2 weeks ago...naturally moving here I was really excited to get to my first dispensary lol I walked into American Mary on my first day here and was helped immediately and professionally. They have great deals and sweet selection to choose from. I didn't really know what I wanted but I explained the high I wanted to achieve & the employee suggested a perfect strain I bought a couple 8ths, few grams of oil and few rolled joints for good measure. I was more than happy with my purchase. Now I go to American Mary almost every other day and their professionalism is still sky rocketing over average. As long as I'm in the area I'll be a loyal customer of American Mary. read more

This shop is one of the best in town. When I came in the other day, I was helped immediately and got excellent service. Very chill vibe in the store, and a cool little pupper was hanging around as well, which made my experience very enjoyable. If you're looking to buy some recreational cannabis, just remember - American Mary: it's not scary. read more

I won't visit this shop again. I asked a couple questions about a brand they don't happen to carry and they were just rude about it. Then he started talking smack about a couple of other shops in the area. When the guy was done ranting and putting other shops down he didn't really have any answers for my questions. Really limited selection and even more limited knowledge about artists and glass. Seemed like Haters to me. Maybe he was just having a bad day... either way, not a good experience. read more

went in a few months ago to find something small but durable the ladie at the front was very attentive and helpful seeing is im very rough on my glass i spent 45 on a small chillum but the thing has been dropped on concrete carried around in my pocket with my coins cell phones tossed around my car this is quality glass way better than that thin glass that you get from the typical franchise smoke shops you see all over spend the extra cash and get something thatll last read more

Terrible experience. They're rude, don't accept international IDs, and will not let you exchange products even if you purchased them literally a minute earlier. Not coming back. read more

My experience started well here. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable, and the store was clean, well-lit, with a good feel. Unfortunately, the day ended with me being told that it was my own fault for being sold a defective product. I question the legality of that statement, but I also question the ethics of a business that would allow that to happen. My salesperson was very kind. What hecould not have known at the point of sale, however, was that the product he sold me was defective. It did not operate. There was no way he could have known. There was also no way I could have known. The problem arose when I attempted to resolve the issue, and the store IMMEDIATELY made it my problem. Not two hours earlier, I just spent a lot of money on something which was defective. However, to demonstrate this, I obviously had to bring the product back to the store, which apparently is a big no-no because then there is "open product" in the store. Even though that "open product" was a defective item. I began to indicate my frustration, in that it was literally impossible for me to know whether I was purchasing a defective product. I could not open the box to inspect the product prior to purchase (as that would be "open product" in the store) and, once purchased, the defective item is now my responsibility and cannot be taken back into the store. Ultimately, I was told that it was my own fault that I was sold defective merchandise (which neither myself nor the clerk could have known at the time of purchase), which is perhaps the most insulting way to treat a customer. I have a hard time believing that a store (regardless of what they sell) is allowed to sell defective merchandise and keep your money anyway. Maybe that's ok with cannabis-related businesses. There was a day when there were only a few places to buy high-quality cannabis products in Seattle, but those days have passed. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere. read more

This is my favorite spot to go to, I love their selection of oils, leaf, and cbd products. The staff is awesome and I really love how helpful and knowledgeable they are, and the biggest plus is that none of them are mansplainers. read more

I was in the area, stopped by this shop and I am really glad I did. The fellow who helped me was great, very knowledgeable in a way this dummy could understand. Hey was very nice and had an adorable giggle, so props to you adorable giggle guy! read more

I always come here because it's very close to my house. They always have good deals and the staff is super nice! Every once in awhile I'll get a free edible or joint with my purchase which is always a plus! Definitely go here for friendly customer service and good deals. read more

My boyfriend and I come here so many times a week and we have NEVER had a bad experience. Actually, we went yesterday and had the best experience yet! We got really discounted flower that was already over weighed. The owner is very professional and super nice, all of the employees are very knowledgeable and will always show you whats best. They make it really easy to understand the products if you're a new cannabis user. I really love this place. We never leave empty handed. read more

Been to this shop 4 times now, and each time has been a great experience. Everyone has been super friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I usually have to shop on a pretty tight budget, but I always leave feeling like my money was well spent. I'm new to the area and have only been to two other shops in the city, but this place will be my go to. Quality bud, friendly staff, and about 5 min walk from my house. What more could I want? read more

This place worked out for what my friends and I needed, and although the guy at the counter was friendly, I wouldn't say he was all that knowledgeable (he wasn't the owner, f.y.i.). Still, the other reviews are pretty dead-on. It's a roomy place, nice ppl, and a nice selection. We'll be back (and who knows? Maybe it'll get another star then)! read more

they don't allow vertical id's. my id scans at every dispensary but they didn't give me a valid reason why they aren't allowed. only told me that the people in charge control it so no valid explanation which is total bs. american mary if you want customers change this rule. absolute bs. if you dont take verticals then post it everywhere you advertise instead of making it extremely inconvenient. read more

The service at this shop continues to be as good as when I first stopped in. The staff, as always were helpful and friendly. The prices and selection are great. I highly recommend making this store your go-to shop for your cannabis needs. read more

The worst customer service I've encountered at any shop. Isn't this a customer facing business that should take customer service into account? I won't be going back and I suggest you take your business to a shop that appreciates you for being their customer. read more

I've bought three water pipes, high quality glass on glass, all right at 100 dollars. Alot of people might be content to go down to the gas station and get a cheap piece with an o-ring, but with the amount you invest in a quality waterpipe will make the experience much more enjoyable. Puffin glass is where you should start. read more

Taylor and Jack were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable - the store also has a great selection and incredibly competitive prices.

DISAPPOINTMENT! My first visit in was a waste of time because I was allowed to walk out of the store with a product that didn't have the ability to get anyone "high". The bud tender made no mention of the low THC percentage. I feel like I went into a bar for a beer but instead received an O'douls non alcoholic beverage. The weed was also harvested October 2015. This sad visit means I will Never Go To American Mary Again read more
