About Hotbox

Hotbox is on NE Fremont Street at 51st Avenue, on the edge of Cully and Beaumont-Wilshire in Northeast Portland, about a mile north of the Hollywood District. It was previously a Curaleaf store and switched to the Hotbox name in late 2024, so long-time shoppers still compare it with the old shop.

Reviewers describe a beautiful, clean store with knowledgeable, friendly staff, a big selection and quick checkout — and a parrot. Google's review summary highlights half-ounce deals, the rewards program and seeds; a 2024 regular liked adding a $15 half ounce to every purchase, and rewards are tracked by phone number. One caregiver says Hotbox was the first shop willing to keep them reliably supplied with a product that helps their mother.

The store holds OLCC medical-retailer and home-delivery endorsements, is open 9 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. daily, and lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot. It does not keep a website; call (503) 914-1377.
