Excellent experience. Friendly and knowledgeable budtender, good selection.

Walked in stressed, walked out speaking fluent inner peace. These folks know their flower — every jar smells like it’s been blessed by the Maine forest itself. Budtenders are like weed sommeliers: chill, knowledgeable, and somehow remember what strain I liked better than I do. Prices fair, vibes immaculate, playlist solid. Verdict: Came in growling, left purring. 🐻💨

Owner ResponseOctober 13, 2025

Bear-y much appreciated! 🐻🌲 Love this—“blessed by the Maine forest” is exactly the vibe we’re chasing. Our budtender “weed sommeliers” will be grinning at this; they work hard to remember your favorites and steer you right. Stoked the prices felt fair, the vibes hit, and the playlist kept it rolling. Thanks for choosing us; can’t wait to see you back. 💨✨

Hands down my favorite dispensary in the Portland area. They have a great selection of products, the store is clean and laid out well, and the employees are always friendly and helpful. There's one woman who works there, Courtney (I only remember because we have the same name), is SO lovely and always makes my shopping experience delightful (greets me when I walk in, asks me what I'm looking for, makes great recommendations, etc.) I tell everyone I can to go to Black Bear for their cannabis needs.

Closed at 430 pm on a Friday?!

Owner ResponseOctober 13, 2025

Hey there—so sorry you ran into a locked door at 4:30 pm on a Friday. We don’t close at 4:30, and that’s not our standard. We run an outdoorsy “Black Bear” vibe, and in this instance our budtender had to step out briefly for nature’s call, which made it look like we’d shut early. That’s on us. We’ve added a quick “Be right back” sign and a doorbell/backup coverage plan so this doesn’t happen again. Please DM or call the shop and ask for the manager—we’d love a second chance to serve you and make it right on your next visit. Thanks for the feedback; it helps us tighten things up. 🐻🙏

I give it a three because then men who work there know what they’re doing, are knowledgeable, professional and kind. So that’s good! but this one girl who works there, she’s the only one i see there is absolutely so disrespectful, i’ve been in customer service a long time, she doesn’t welcome me any time i come in, she sits there and waits for me to tell her what i want instead of giving recommendations or asking if im looking for anything specific. she gives me my things says the price and lets me walk out without saying “thank you have a nice day”. but every man i’ve seen with her in there she is flirtatious and kind, so im confused here and it doesn’t make my experience pleasant. i hate coming here when she’s here. her negativity energy gets passed to me and i will not be coming here anymore all because of her.

BBB has great prices and the staff here made the experience super easy and welcoming. They took the time to answer my questions and helped me find exactly what I needed. Excellent customer service and a really pleasant vibe overall—highly recommend!

BBB has easily become my go-to dispensary for all things cannabis. I stopped in for a quick visit and while I admittedly didn't know much about what BBB had to offer, the staff were nothing but friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with all of my questions and made sure I would be happy with my purchase. The place itself is inviting, easy to navigate, and had good vibes all around. BBB gained a new regular customer out of me and I would recommend anyone to give them a try.
