I really appreciated the friendliness and speediness of the staff. Shout out Sean! I was greeted in a friendly manner, he was knowledgeable about products and pricing. All that and I was in and out 3 mins flat. Unfortunately, I spent all the cash I had and couldn't leave a tip, but hopefully Sean will see a small bonus from this review! – Opossum
Very knowledgeable about the pre rolls. I had him pick me the three best ones and they were all very good tasting just like he said. Most budtenders just tell ya what you wanna hear then you get home and taste the weed and it’s crap. I’m glad I found someone who actually knows what good weed tastes like. Thanks James! – Marni K
I don't buy often and came in for a vape cartridge. The guy kept trying to upsell me hard but I don't use often so I just needed 1 cart. He sold me on 2 and imagine my surprise when I get home and they're both disposable vapes. I even tipped the guy. At least I got half off for first time customer but I will definitely not be back. I guess not much loss as I don't vape much. I feel like the employee took advantage of me not knowing much about cannabis. Also I tried the vapes and they tasted burnt and no feeling at all. Even the usual vapes I get 50% CBD and 50% THC give me a good relaxed feeling. This place seems a bit scammy – S D
Feedback Regarding Licensing Oversight Dear Lake Effect Team, I wanted to take a moment to share some constructive feedback regarding a concern that recently came to my attention. It appears that your company’s licensing may have lapsed. In a highly regulated industry like cannabis, maintaining an active license is not only a legal requirement but also a key signal to customers, partners, and the community that the business operates responsibly and professionally. I understand that administrative oversights can happen, but allowing a license to expire can have serious consequences, including regulatory fines, reputational damage, and interruptions in service. Addressing this promptly and putting processes in place to prevent future lapses will strengthen trust with your customers and reinforce Lake Effect’s credibility in the market. I appreciate the work your team does and hope this feedback is taken as an opportunity to reinforce best practices in compliance and operational management. Sincerely, A loyal customer – Max Doe
