Victor, Patrick, Tyler, Aidan and Amanda and everyone else I haven't named treat me like family whenever they see me even if I'm not their direct customer in the moment. (I'm the blue haired black chick who comes semi-weekly and chats it up). Great competitive proies and employees. No one ever asked me for a review either this was done on my own without need for encouragement:)

As the manager of a business, I may work long hours and myself, along with the staff, like to get home at close. That said, there's just never any excuse for a business not to honor its listed hours of operation unless they post otherwise. Very unprofessional. Added note: Zen Leaf called me the next day regarding my review and experience. They listened and offered a discount on my next purchase. Impressive follow through raised my review 2 stars.

Most employees at this location are friendly and helpful ( I only say "most" because I haven't interacted with every employee). However, Milanie is one of my favorites. Milanie is always super friendly, helpful, and patient-- which I appreciate especially, as I am NOT a decisive person.

Tyler is the best employee that works there hands down (sorry to everyone else but get in Tyler’s level). He is very knowledgeable and always makes me feel welcomed! He deserves a raise and a promotion!

Isah was fantastic. He took care of me quickly, had a little banter and threw in some knowledge for future purchases. Zen leaf has the best people working and Cabbage Club + Rewards takes me to another level of savings!!! Highly recommend 😀

The Evanston Zenleaf is my absolute favorite, the products, the cleanliness, the location is all wonderful but none of those compare to the Amazing staff. Amanda is beyond Amazing and my absolute favorite team member in the Zenleaf company she always goes above and beyond to get me just what I need and makes the visit so inviting and pleasant. 10/10 for Amanda!!

Stopped in on likely the second-busiest day of the year and still made it through the line quickly. Tiela was super friendly and helpful, didn't make me feel rushed at all (which is impressive when there's a long line!). Gave me a great recommendation and totally hooked me up. Very grateful, happy holidaze!

I want to give a big shoutout to Adolfo and Jenny for a fantastic walk-in visit. Adolfo was very informative about the Cabbage Club (Coming April 1st!) and Jenny came over and made sure the experience was over the top and also answered any questions I had. By far my favorite location to go to make sure you stop by!

Wow. What a rise and fall of a store. While the revolving door of this location continues to spin like a hamster with a red bull on its wheel, inconsistency is the only thing consistent about this store. Shamefully, management asked me to leave when having a friendly conversation with the front desk AFTER I made my purchase. Whilst I have zero qualms with the messenger, apparently, there is a time limit to which you are allowed to be in the store. If you’re not buying anything, or even after you have bought something I guess you’re not welcome to stay, even though you are allowed to make multiple purchases. What’s even more intriguing is how there are several individuals who I have personally seen come in time after time waiting at the service counter to collect bag fulls of free cannabis and having in extended in depth conversation with their management team. Yet, a paying customer, myself, was asked to leave because I was having a conversation. It’s more often that not the manager Nikki who has had more than one instance with personalizing who is welcome and not welcome to the Zen Leaf Evanston location. It’s dumbfounding that this kind of maturity and lack of professionalism is still given the opportunity to exist, but not much can be said for what’s perceived as just a lack of experience and skill. This will be my last time shopping at any Zen Leaf Evanston. While there are some phenomenal personalities and bud-tenders willing to do great service, the trickle down from poor management has started to effect the store at a customer level more and more. Thank you Patrick for being so kind and providing me with half of what I needed for my order. I know typically discounts are given for when things are not in stock, but management dropped the ball there as well….finding out this store has been blacklisted is not surprising under any circumstance.

Kristina delivered a great shopping experience. She was knowledgeable about the products, patient with me, and expeditious with the purchases. All businesses would benefit from having their own Kristina. I will definitely shop here in the future.

Kristina was great! I had some problems do a pre-order and she gave me several options on how to fix that. Then expertly moved through my long order and filled everything perfectly. Solid employee. Give her my thanks!

Despite nasty reviews left by previous employees, this store is great. I’m glad to see they’re building an upbeat team that values a strong work ethic and honesty. The vibes are immaculate and you can tell the entire crew is dedicated to getting you the product that works best for your individual needs. Management is present and ready to hop in to help if needed. This is my go-to dispo! Much love to everyone at this location.

this is my go to spot for any of my dispensary related needs. since first coming, the prices have been lowered significantly over the last year and it seems the deals only keep getting better. they have a vast selection of pretty much anything you could want, with anyway to consume. the entrance staff and the budtenders are all really welcoming, and helpful if you are looking for some recommendations, as they are knowledgeable with their products. this place used to take card but it is CASH ONLY as of writing this review. thankfully there is a ATM in there (3.50 withdrawal fee) which is fine, it gives me a opportunity to leave tips. plus the location is nice, being off a quiet side road so, easy access, and close to a CTA stop if you are not walking distance.
