The Original Cannabis Cafe is a welcoming space for those who are cannabis connoisseurs and those who are canna-curious. Our comprehensive Flower Menu offers everything from pre-rolls, flower, small edibles and beverages to premium smoking accessories and all the way up to concentrates for experienced connoisseurs. If you're new to cannabis or haven't consumed in a while, our Flower Hosts will make recommendations and guide your experience. Our cafe offers tourists and locals the opportunity to experience cannabis in a sociable, restaurant-style atmosphere. There hasn’t been anything like this in existence for over 100 years, dating back to pre-prohibition era cannabis tea pads. We’re excited to set the standard on what a US-based cannabis cafe is, and share this rare experience with our like-minded (and inquisitive) cannabis community.

    I loved every bit of it from the moment I got out my car the customer service was top tier to coming in and getting seated and everything carefully explained. Although there want a bartender I still had a ball eating and sparking up a joint. The decorations in the bathroom is amazing I will definitely be back and bring some friends !!!!!!

    Super great ambience with really cool light up shimmer drinks! I loved all of the details in the decor with the Jinx photo op and Vi’s punching game. It was cool to be around other fans too and hearing them talk about the show. I bought one of the limited edition mugs and its a really great size with a thumb rest on the handle. To be honest though the razzle shimmer was not my favorite, but you get the drink for the cool souvenir shimmer vial anyway. Its a really nice size I can reuse for everyday drinks and it lights up! I would definitely go again.
