I've been a customer at Apotheca for quite a while now, and it's honestly the only place I go for…read morecannabis products. The biggest reason is simple: every single person I've interacted with there has been kind, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. I've probably worked with at least half a dozen different employees over the years, and the experience is consistently excellent no matter who's behind the counter. I've told them before that walking into Apotheca feels like stepping into an old-fashioned apothecary. There's something welcoming and personal about the atmosphere that you just don't find very often anymore. Nobody rushes you, nobody talks down to you, and they take the time to answer questions and help you find what works best for your needs. I deal with a pretty significant anxiety disorder, and if I'm being honest, I can be a little high-strung at times. The staff has always been incredibly patient and understanding with me. They treat me like a person, not just another customer walking through the door, and that means a lot. Their willingness to listen, explain things, and help me navigate products based on my experience and tolerance has kept me coming back year after year. It's rare to find a business where the service is this consistently good across the board. Apotheca has earned my trust, my loyalty, and this five-star review. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable staff, great customer service, and an overall welcoming experience.

Just a few months ago I reviewed this location, very impressed with the service I got during a…read morevisit. I retract that review. I went in looking for new vape equipment and I feel like they showed their true colors as far the ethics behind this company are concerned. I bought a new vape very different from the ones I usually get. When I got home and tried to remove the top, which is where the coil is and you fill the solution in this model, I couldn't budge it. I had bought a box of replacement tops so I tried one of those....nothing. I did this with 3 tops before I finally went to my neighbor, a big man, that had to finally get his pocket knife out to accomplish this feat. I have bad arthritis in my right hand so I knew this wasn't the one for me. I brought it back and explained my situation asking if I could exchange it and pay more for another model. After a lot of back and forth he asked for my receipt, I told him when the clerk asked if I had wanted a receipt I told her to save the paper. I suggested looking at the computer under my phone number, he had an excuse for that. Finally the clerk that waited on me walked in and I asked if she remembered selling it to me the day before, she said yes. He said I still needed the receipt......this is the point that I knew I was dealing with a shady company! What would me not having a little piece of paper showing I had bought it make a difference when the person that sold it to me just acknowledged my purchase? Then all 3 employees there began pointing to the signs stating "All Purchases Are Final", I don't think me having my receipt would have even sufficed. Aren't there circumstances under which a good company should make exceptions? I never asked for a refund, all I wanted was to pay more and get a vape that I wouldn't have so much trouble with. I'm not sure if the owner of this small chain drills NO EXCHANGES and NO RETURNS in to his employees heads so much that they're petrified to break the rule or what but I viewed it as just ridiculous. I now consider this one of the most ethical businesses I've ever dealt with.

I have never really gotten good service and have never been truly satisfied. However, one of the staff members sold me a pod instead of a disposable vape when I clearly asked for a disposable vape. When I returned to ask for an exchange because it didn't work, I was met with extreme rudeness. It's frustrating to be such a loyal customer and get no loyalty in return. The products suck and never works. I would truly rate this a zero if I could.
