This far east of the city center, people rarely wait in line for anything. But drive past Archive the day of a fresh drop and you’ll spot a line wrapping around the building. Known for its legendary seedbank of sought after genetics and authentic, legendary strains, you’ll be picking up straight from the breeders responsible for strains like Scooby Snacks and Do-Si-Dos—a dizzyingly giddy OG Kush Breath genotype of Girl Scout Cookies. That also means that in addition to an expertly curated menu of house-grown buds and the best in the west, there’s a phenomenal selection of seeds and plant clones to boot. In-store shopping and pick-up available.

When wall-to-wall racks of products and experienced budtenders seem daunting, you need a simple but reliable shop that won’t overwhelm you with choices. Balancing a polished space with a down-to-earth style, this is an ideal shop for newbies seeking concise quality and veterans interested in an efficient, satisfying grocery run. The straightforward menu contains local favorites like Focus North and High Noon Cultivation, plus a robust selection of edibles, oils and vapables. With one location in the middle of the unofficial Central Eastside Bar District and the other in the heart of New North Portland, these friendly shops are a lighthearted break amidst the tourist flurry of hyped up hoods.

Jayne has charmed Portlanders with a serene, botanical space and a user-friendly approach to providing a vast variety of herbal goods. Details like mossy green decor and a tangible, bound paper menu give respect to the natural roots from which this industry is growing, and thoughtful extras like non-infused candy and chips keep the airy space grounded. Find a large selection of edibles and topicals in particular here, including various transdermal patches, sensual oil, and multi-use tinctures from Luminous Botanicals that can be applied topically or eaten.

The Kings of Canna took a more dapper, Sherlock Holmes-inspired approach, with warm lighting and mahogany-colored wood floors providing a cozy, 1930s cigar-room vibe—and when you live in as casual a town as Portland, the fact that this luxuriously-styled shop has remained a favorite of growers and customers alike says a lot. The products, though displayed against red velvet in a stunning wraparound glass case, are priced very reasonably. You aren’t paying for the decor, they just want to enhance the shopping experience. Boutique grows like Nelson & Co. Organics can be found on the shelves for $14/g, as well as a variety of generic—but above decent—flower for just $60/ounce. In-store shopping only.

With a white marble aesthetic and artistic details down to the custom floor tiles made to match a signature geometrical pattern, Serra defines posh pot in Oregon. But the attention paid to the interior design is also reflected in their vast selection of unique, terpene-laden flower Pruf Cultivar. But don’t overlook others buzzworthy buds on the shelves, like those from Black-owned LOWD, either. (Their 503 WiFi is unforgettable). Serra is a good destination for sophisticated add-ons, too, like their 20 mg chocolate bars made with local bean-to-bar chocolatier, Woodblock Chocolate, and mild, beautifully packaged herbal + weed spliffs from Barbari. In-store shopping, curbside pick-up and delivery to a residential Portland address available.

A groovy little (older?) sister to the Serra brand, find the same quality selection with a chiller, Summer of Love-inspired ambiance. Walls are covered in vintage political posters and tchotchkes straight out of your grandma’s attic, while the effects of flower, oils and edibles are categorized by five frequencies: active, aware, groovy, cosmic, mellow, and easy. White marble is swapped for tie dye and shag carpet, and there’s a record player in the lounge area for you to sustain the time travel a little longer. Pro tip: Their one-of-a-kind glass ashtrays and general EL gear remain some of the strongest pot swag in town. In-store shopping, curbside pick-up, and delivery to a residential Portland address available.
