Meds Cafe I Recreational Marijuana Retail Shop Lowell MI — Local services in Lowell

Love this place and how close it is to GR.

The curbside ordering has gotten much better since March/April, much more organized with placards placed under wipers after ordering, designated areas of parking lot for employees to manage and fairly up to date menus that rotate daily.

Pricing is actually pretty good, well within the average range for flower, edibles and concentrates. $18-22 a gram for flower, deal pricing on 1/8ths, 1/4s etc. 100mg edible about $20ish plus tax.

Still some issues with being forgotten/not seen when far back in the lot during busy times.

The website was pretty crummy, especially the menu on leafly which was hard to navigate and often wrong. Thankfully it seems that they just post a .jpeg of the daily menu now which is much nicer. Though im curious what ever happened to my early days member points...

It would be nice if the tax % amounts were readily viewable. Theres a 10% excise tax applied to the total and then the 6% sales tax is applied. This is the most common point of confusion for pricing/totals.

In summation, a great, reputable business who are improving constantly. Worth the time to stop by!

P.S.

Heres some tips when you go to Meds to make it a good expierence.

Don't park wherever you want if all the spots are filled. This parking lot becomes chaotic when busy and it's made infinitely worse when people park in made up spots and block others in.

Go during non peak hours. If you show up at 5pm, its gonna be busy and will take longer to order.

Look up the menu before hand, most of the time spent waiting is because people have no idea what anything is. Do a little studying and know what things are called.

Have your ID ready. They're gonna check, so just have it ready.

Its cash only at the moment. So bring cash. There's no accessible ATM for curbside, and the other local businesses aren't banks, dont expect them to have enough cash

Finally, Be polite.

I know, the customer is always right, blah blah blah. Wrong. Buying legal recreational marijuana is a privilege, not a right. So dont start yelling at employees or get in and out of your car because you've had to wait a while; It's rude and...

I've been to this location several times and spent over well over $500 in 2 weeks time, only once was I satisfied with my purchase for the high price after the "budtender" finally remembered who ordered what, after walking in circles asking every car what they ordered because he forgot who ordered what. One occasion in particular at about 11 am I came to buy a Q of Chemdog that WAS ON YOUR MENU at a certain price, when I placed my order, the red headed girl with glasses tells me "we dont have that" , I say politely it's on the menu that was updated this morning, "no, we dont have that." Ok... I then ask for a different strain at a similar price and that's on the menu as well. I hand her my money she goes inside. 15 minutes later... she walks back to me with my money in hand and tells me I didn't have enough money, because the Q I ordered was actually $20 more than the amount I gave her because she didnt know the price originally and said that looks like enough when I handed her my money. I then show her the menu that has the strain I ordered at the price I saw and she tells me "oh, we need to change that". Lmao! Ok, at this point I'm fed up with it all, it's been 45 minutes... I ask her for her recommendation as to what was similar to that strain, she comes back again with the worst lemon skunk I've ever smoked that I paid over $120 for. Needless to say I will not be returning... I now drive to Grant sometimes twice a week to HighProfile to pick up my Qs, not only do I get superior smoke from them at actual decent prices of $100 a Q, they know me by name and even have reward points for there VALUED customers where you get $25 off your order after so many purchases. What!? Free herb??? No I'm not getting paid to say this, but I'm a customer like you who's done with the bull and just want some good smoke at a good price. Medscafe be busting heads. Go to...

Curbside is a little crazy at the moment, but I feel like its understandable given current circumstances. (Both times I've gone, I've ended up waiting an hour for service, but they're super busy, so I understand.) I'm excited to see the inside of the store once the lockdown is lifted (and will likely update my review when I do so). I personally only get eatables, given my weak lungs, and I find that they have a pretty good selection. The options are always changing, likely due to how busy they are, so I'll give a heads up that if you really like a specific product, you may want to get more asap as it might not be there the next time you go. (I ran into that issue my first time. I absolutely LOVE one of the eatables they offered but it's not been available the last few times I've looked.) However, given that they're always switching up eatable inventory, it makes it fun to try new things! The thing I would really like to see improved with the website is for there to be a bit more information about the eatables on the individual pages. Some of them, I've bought from other places before, so I already know what the mg dosage is. But unless you can see it in the picture of the packaging, you're kind of buying blind unless you call the shop. (And due to everything happening right now, many of the eatables don't even have pictures, so you're genuinely buying blind and hoping you get something worthwhile.) But I expect this will improve as things slow down and they're able to focus on more of...
