About Herb's House

Herb's House calls itself "Ballard's Original," and it is one of the most distinctive-looking dispensaries in Seattle: a cozy shop in an old house on a corner of NW 65th Street, on the border of Ballard and Phinney Ridge, about a mile from Ballard Commons Park and under a mile from Woodland Park Zoo. Visitors often call it the most adorable dispensary they have been to, and the shop's cat, Gnocchi, is part of the welcome.

Herb's House is women-owned and medically endorsed, and it leans toward top-shelf craft cannabis — medical patients mention brands such as Downtown Cannabis and Fire Brothers alongside budget options. It features work by local artists through a featured-artist program, posts sales and events on its website, and runs a loyalty program with regular discounts.

The store is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, has an ATM and takes debit, and Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom.

What Customers Say About Herb's House

4.6 out of 5 from 294 Google reviews · read the reviews on Google

Herb's House averages 4.6 stars from nearly 300 Google reviews. Customers describe the staff as chill, friendly, non-judgmental and genuinely helpful, and many say it is their favorite shop in the city. Visitors from downtown recommend making an afternoon of it with the neighborhood's coffee shops, restaurants and thrift stores.

The criticism is about the budget end: one reviewer found the cheapest pre-rolls poorly rolled, and another wanted the store to go back to offering paper bags for purchases. If you shop on a budget, ask for a recommendation rather than grabbing the lowest-priced pre-roll.
