Catalyst locations seem to get a wide range of reviews, but for this location, the reviews were SPOT ON! Recommended to us by a Head Shop manager in Redondo Beach, it was the closest dispensary, 25 mins, from our stayca spot. Set back in a corner of a strip mall, Catalyst has quite a footprint. On the Friday we popped in, a brand they offer had an event in the Catalyst "event room". I guess it was for invited guests who partake of that particular brand because it wasn't just open to anyone. No prob for us, we were just popping in to check out Catalyst. Hubs made a purchase, got a first timers discount and was given a flyer for Customer Appreciation Day the next day! We returned the next day after lunch and Hubs was sure they would be out of House Shake since it was a sale day. He not only picked up what he wanted, but not ONCE did I hear a bud tender say, 'oh, actually, we're out of that,' which I seem to hear, pretty much every time, at other sales events. It starts to feel more like a closeout sale. Not at Catalyst! They seemed well stocked with quite a large selection and welcoming staff once again. Hubs found these ADORABLE mini (1/2 size?) joints he thought would be fun for a few hits. Nope, them bad babies were 2 puffs and "2BC". Strooong, he says. I'll have to take the ol' hippy's word for it, but he thought those were a real find on a customer appreciation day. Prices seem in line with others we've been to. The only trick can be the parking. It is, indeed a strip mall. One looong strip of single parking, one way in, same way out. Be patient, bring good vibes only and you'll get what you need. Cheers! "CC" read more

Catalyst - Hawthorne - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I love having a dispensary so close by. It's spacious and clean with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The selection is pretty wide and I love it. Taxes are included in the upfront price so there's no surprise at the register. Can't wait for the big sale on Saturday! read more

Security at this location is extremely rude and inconsistent. Garrett attempted to refuse entry because I parked on site and told me to park offsite, the surrounding parking feels unsafe. I parked right in front of the dispensary and was still told to move, which puts customers at risk of theft or being robbed when they leave. When I asked for a manager, security delayed calling one for an extended time. Then, another guest was allowed to park onsite and enter the lounge without being questioned. Extremely unprofessional and poor customer service. A lounge that doesn't offer convenient, parking??? read more

Catalyst in Hawthorne never misses ! Their customer service is ALWAYS on point the staff is super friendly, patient, and just all-around good vibes . Parking? Easy peasy no stress at all . Honestly, that alone makes life smoother lol . What I really love is how they can pull up your past orders . Total lifesaver when you forget what you got last time (guilty ‍). Saves time AND keeps you from guessing wrong. The whole place just gives off chill vibes . Every visit feels laid back, good energy, and zero hassle . Highlyyyy recommend this spot if you want quality service and an stress-free experience btw my go to has always a hybrid gummies the point collecting and discounts are amazing. read more

You can come here at 9:23PM and they will turn you away. Super disappointing especially on 420. Wouldn't recommend coming here. Staff is rude. Especially considering I've been a great customer here for awhile and even recommended this place to friends. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place after my experience here tonight. Yes I know the rules; I'm a repeat customer. I know they have to serve the last person at 9:45. I know they close at 9:30pm, which is why I came before then. Ruined the holiday for me. read more

George was great at the front desk, made it an easy sign up. Robert was very informative and helpful behind the counter. Answered a few questions I had and helped me get the best possible product. Love that they have a lounge! Come by for great prices and better vibes. read more

I have been going to this spot since it opened and i'm not going any where else. They always have a great selection with different price points. The staff is amazing. I do online order whenever I know they have an event because it does get busy. That's how you know they put great events! Also props to Jovany for introducing me to my new favorite strain! read more

George in the front is always welcoming everytime I come in. I live so close so this is my go to shop. Jovany helps me out almost everytime and everything he has suggested me to try have been awesome. Great staff and great hospitality read more

I stopped in as it is in my neighborhood but I don't think I will be going back. The usual rec spot - expensive carts - bunch of crappy Stiiizy. Nothing you haven't seen anywhere else although do plan on paying more. read more

I went once and I feel they just recommend u expensive stuff and don't really care for what YOU want. I got a dispo and it just gave me migraines I won't be returning read more

Absolutely Terrible Customer Service - Gave Me the Wrong Product and Refused to Fix It I went into Catalyst looking for a simple indica cart nothing fancy, just something that won't make me feel anxious or weird. I told the woman at the counter clearly that I wanted indica, and I didn't care what flavor. Instead of helping, she started asking me a bunch of questions about flavors and strains like I was supposed to know all the options off the top of my head. When I asked what the difference was, she gave me a nasty attitude like I was bothering her for doing her job. I ended up choosing a flavor she mentioned, trusting that she was giving me the **indica** I asked for. She didn't let me see the box until after I paid which should've been a red flag. When I walked outside and checked, turns out it was a **hybrid** cart. Exactly what I didn't want. Hybrids make me feel awful and paranoid, and I always avoid them. I walked back in to explain their mistake and asked to exchange it. They basically told me "too bad" and refused to help me, even though it was their fault. So now I'm stuck with a product I specifically said I didn't want, all because of lazy customer service and a complete lack of accountability. This was my last time shopping at Catalyst. If you actually care about getting the right product or being treated like a human go somewhere else. read more
