Best recreational shop in Ellensburg, right next to the Famous Red Horse Diner and the new bar, Knodding Donkey! East of the Old Gas Pumps. Just a hop, skip and a jump away from both Cle Elum and Yakima.
We have flower/bud, prerolls, edibles/beverages, concentrates and topicals. Lots of varieties of strains and companies!!!
We have an ATM in our lobby, with only a $2.00 fee!!! We’re so happy to be able to provide this service to our valued customers!!!
Come see us, make it a good one!
Spread the Happiness!
This little shop is super friendly and the young staff there are pretty helpful. A nice selection of flower, edibles, oils, and even a counter for pipes/bongs, lighters, and papers for self rollers.
Although this place isn’t a choice location for CBD, it’s both professional and clean. Check out their menu to see if they carry something up your alley, and give this shop a visit!
In my opinion this is the best shop here in Eburg. The only problem I have had so far is that 2 vape cartridges that Ive purchased there havent worked very well, but those were an exception. Other than that everything has been great and the staff is very friendly and know a lot!
I am extremely pleased with all customer service and products that I’ve got from Cannabis Central. I go in every two days and am stoked that there are such nice people…. Dave, the owner went above and beyond to help me out when I ran out of gas outside…. thank you Dave! Your pot and kindness are much appreciated!
C.C. has a pretty knowledgable and friendly team, with a very nice owner. It’s a small store, with a an organized menu. They offer deals and promotions regularly, making for competitiveness within the local market. Would love to see this dispensary continue to grow.
The BEST recreational dispensary in all of Washington state! Beyond satisfied with the hospitality and generosity I was provided. Also, pleased to know I was the first of my kind to set foot in the establishment! lol
Soon as I went in , I was greeted with a smile! Found what I was looking for with great customer service given. I would defiantly stop by again!
This tiny little shop located behind an adorable old fashioned gas station is a great dispensary for a small town. It has a decent variety of rotating stock that includes bud, concentrate, pre-rolls, and edibles.
The staff is awesome and super helpful! I first time I came in I asked if they sold spare sliders because mine was broken and they just gave me on for free. They also know their stuff and can find you what you’re looking for.
However, the store is very small. It’s clean and well lit, but the cramped quarters aren’t ideal when a rush shows up.
All in all, though it doesn’t compare to the dispensaries in big cities, Cannabis Central is a great little shop to supply a small town. If you’re road tripping across Washington, this is a great shop to visit in between you destination!
I consider myself a regular to this dispensary, and I’m proud to do so. The staff is knowledgeable where I am not. They have a small variety of smoking vessels as well as a growing inventory of flower and edibles and now they have concentrates! I spend too much time making my selections but I’ve always had a great experience here.
VERY low selection.
NEVER enough indica.
There isn’t much for selection and they carry a brand called Sparks that literally had a harvest date from last summer on one strain and the other one smelled and tasted like mold. Not what I think people should be smoking. I got a good price on the joints by the same brand and the guy working said he doesn’t smoke much but they sell okay. They were in a nice pkg and burned fine but left me with a sore throat the rest of the day so I gave half the pack away. Not too bad on some of the prices but you better watch the harvest dates and research before you go in.
cool little shop. people in there were super nice, knew their products and got me outta there with the best thing for me!
This building should be used to house garden tools and nothing larger. With only my boyfriend and another friend with us, we could barely make ourselves comfortable in there. The guy and girl behind the little counter were yelling over us as other people came in like we were at a burger stand. They were not helpful or friendly but helped us choose an ounce for $120 which was a great deal (branded Life Garden). Until I got home and smoked it. It gave me the worst sore throat of my life and then I felt like I was fighting off getting sick for a few days. I looked at some of it under a microscope with our friend who’s a bio major and it is covered in white powdery stuff that doesn’t look like crystals. 🙁 It’s really bad. We aren’t going to this store anymore. This was definitely not the first time I’ve been unhappy but I kept trying. I’d rather go somewhere else where I know it’s clean and real buds, or smoke nothing at all. They only seem to be concerned with cheap, crappy, dry, harsh, high profiting garbage bags. Ugh. Disappointed.
This review pretains to one visit, with a follow-up speaking to Rob, the owner. Anyway overall nice shop, decent selection and friendly knowledgable staff…
But as far as flower goes buyer beware that you may not be getting whats advertised. Specifically weight. Now most of us understand this is a dried flower that has the potential to lose a little bit of its weight. But when something is packaged as “Net wt. 3g” and weighs less than 2, that is a problem. One of false representation of what you are selling and one that should be rectified when brought to management, in this case, the owners attention.
I’m sorry the product tou are selling was packaged for christmas and is only on the shelves but you made no clear attempt to bring light of this or offer any disclaimer at time of purchase. It would be one thing had the product read approx weight or net weight at packing with the date listed but none of those were true.
Because of this and the attitude of could not care less, this daily customer will bot6be returning. Which is unfortunate because I’d never had a problem with any other products and love the staff.
This is by far the best dispensary I’ve been to. The two amazing women running the store are incredibly friendly and more than willing to help you with whatever question you have. knowledgeable and inviting. I will definitely be back here and make it a point to stop in and say hello… and obviously pick up a few goodies. 😉
see you gals soon!
-your new friend, Lantz.
Amazing shop rob is wonderful and so friendly sweet and helpful! I love coming to cannabis central! Quality buds fair prices for the start of the industry not to mention Dave is a good judge of the flower as well and if your a regular customer you give input on what you would like to see and they actually listen it nice! Best store in the state in my opinion…. Good Buds. Amazing People. Go to cannabis central!
Great shop, great staff, and a pretty darn good selection for Ellensburg. The quality of buds I have seen are amazing, on par with any medical dispensary out there. The selection on oil is kind of small, and the prices for that are a little wild, but hopefully as time goes on this will expand, and prices will drop. Friendly atmosphere, no pressure whatsoever, so for those who are first time visitors its great.
I’m tired of having to work so hard to find a good deal on high quality stuff. I got a really expensive gram I guess because they base prices of thc % and I couldn’t find anything that looked good in the bag. I don’t like how they aren’t friendly and am bummed I tried this store this time.
Person behind counter had no clue on how to serve medical patience.What a waste of time .Wanted me to wait over 15 minutes.aPoor customer service6
I’ve been to a handful of recreational stores around Washington and this is by far the best one yet. Fair prices, nice atmosphere with friendly employees and fantastic, varied product. All that along with the opportunity to support a great cause and store makes it worth any ones trip. Keep up the Good Work!
Been going here since they first opened their doors. Love the employees, incredibly helpful, nice, and talkative. I like to try new things often so i ask them to pick me out different/new stuff and they never complain or act rude about it. The prices are great, tho subject to change at times, but they aren’t unfair. You can really spread out some money if you need to or buy really high quality products. The store is also nice, well lit, and has a lot of parking, granted its a bit outside of walking distance but that’s not really a big deal, the drive is short and personally for me doesn’t take more than 20 minutes to drive down, get what i need and drive back. Love this little store 😀
The older product is fine. it can be dry but still smells delicious. They have the best prices in town and all you need to do is let it rehydrate and it’s fresh again. There is so much stuff I’ve never heard of in the store, I find new stuff every time I go.
I stopped going here because the harvest days are really old on the cheaper price points. It smokes so fast and hot on my lungs and I keep getting sore throats. I liked the staff but it’s not worth fighting for elbow room and having to make decisions so quickly I’m never quite satisfied. Dang it.
Best shop I’ve ever been in. Lots to choose from, cute little store, and the friendliest staff ever!
Great place!
Liked the store. Nice little side trip on my way home.
Nice little shop located just a mile or so out side of down town Ellensburg. They had a decent selection and a few different options for prices although most were a costly but comparable $20 a gram for flowers. Maybe about 15 or more different strains to choose from, however all packages were located behind the counter and out of clear view to the customer.
I came in at the end of the night, so maybe they were looking forward to closing up, but the service was nothing special. Sure the two worker were nice, but they really didn’t offer any input or suggest anything, or even offer to show me a few different kinds to inspect.
A good experience but not amazing, it doesn’t make want to jump at the opportunity of supporting legal bud if I’m still paying double or triple what I would normally pay, but it does give me a sign of hope that it will eventually become easier to get good bud, legally, for a good price.
Great place. Friendly owner. Good product. Good prices.
Very nice place. People are super friendly and helpful. Prices are great.
not the biggest store but they have amazing prices. they’re knowledgeable with there product. I’ve been a come back customer and I’m not from the area.
Definitely One Of The Cooler Store Fronts I’ve Been To! Walked In To A Cool Little Shop With A Neat Selection, You Could Definitely Get That Earthy Smell When You Walk Through The Doors. I Believe I Spoke With The Owner? Not Too Sure, He Was A Cool Dude & Knew Exactly What I Was Looking For. And The Prices Are Unbeatable Compared To These Other Stores. If You Need Help Choosing A Strain I Suggest The Headband 🙂 I Reallllllly Enjoyed That Strain!
I was pleased to see that they moved into a more spacious building so I went back to try something here again. I got little help from the gentleman who was clearly unhappy to be at work. I ended up with a gram of Dutch Hawaiian OG and some Bubba Kush. The Dutch HI OG didn’t have much for smell like the top shelf bud I’m used to getting in town for $15… But it burned terrible the instant it hit my throat. I actually didn’t finish the bowl. My roommate said it was fine but he’s a savage. I smoked the Bubba Kush later that day and while it was okay, I wasn’t impressed much. I guess I’m just used to stocking up at the other store now for great weed or waiting until I’m back in Spokane.
The quality is great and the people are awesome. Plus great deals
Rob is an excellent business owner, as well as a really damn nice guy. Its nice to be able to walk in to a rec shop and pick the guys mind about every strain he has, all his growers, and just if ya wanna bs and he’s not to busy. Of most of the rec stores I have been into cannabis central has the pest price, and highest quality, as well having a huge selection of eatables, bho, other concentrates, flower, and ryo. not 5 but 10 stars go out to this little store, in a hole in the wall town.
Best selection in town! Very friendly team. Derrick and Kyle were super knowledgeable and we got outstanding service. Will definitely be back!
I really enjoy shopping at this little joint. The people that work here are always friendly and I love the edibles selection. Haven’t bothered to go to the other place in Ellensburg, even though it’s closer. And BTW…I really did see Jimi twice 🙂

The people who work there are friendly, and they give good deals.
like bowls to go. If you only got 5$ they have those deals sometimes.
Not impressed with their sour diesel, felt ripped off after smoking their pre roll i scraped my pipe to get stoned. not going back.
BEWARE the “SALE” items. Last week the “sale” was vapes(full price) and some GREAT JackPot Seaweed. The cartiriges don’t work and you just PAID for a defective cartridge. This was such a good deal. $20 for a vape and then the “sale of 2 for $20 and I paid 2 for 25. That $45 cost YOU a whole lot more. I will not trust you employees opinion or suggestion again. I understand there are no refunds, but you did have a similar “problem with the $5 bags” last year. So based on those two “sale items” being straight up junk. I think “sale” means buyer beware. No upsell for me. Thanks for curbing my smoking habit. I will save a ton of my disposable income and take it down to the “new” place.
My favorite shop in Washington hands down. Luckily a local one too. Low-key, very friendly. Not a sterile intimidating place with weird door locks or guards. Just a friendly little shop with all the variety one could ask for. Prices consistently the lowest I’ve found. All price points and many many Big Bang for the buck strains. Daily specials, updated on Leafly continually. Something for everyone. Now, if we could just get frequent customer punch cards…
What a rip off. I’m tired of buying expensive concentrates from here (nothing under $30 a half gram) that are crappy. I’m really disappointed in how expensive they still are. I figured once there was another store in Ellensburg that these guys would drop their prices. I cam get an amazing full gram of great wax at the other store for $30 that won’t give me a sore throat.
I kept trying to find bud that was worth what they say but the least time I was there I spent $60 total and only left with 4 grams of bud (some was bargain stuff supposedly). There’s way better deals in town and this used to be my spot. 🙁
I LOVE Cannabis Central and they’re staff and I can’t wait to see them receive the go-ahead to open the medical portion of the store!
If you get the chance to try out the new strains featured by Sweet Water Growers be prepared for some quality herb!
I hope they stick around and show us what else they’ve got!
Not a large shop but they always have what you want. Staff is great and are very knowledgeable
I bought a pre rolled & 2 grams. This was the worst pot i have ever had. Prices were way to high. I will not go back. I’ll drive 50 miles to get better quality & way better prices.
Great little shop. Been in several times and they’ve always been friendly and efficient at getting what I wanted. Prices seem fair considering there’s no recreational competition within Kittitas county. Very convenient to have their menu synced with Leafly so I could essentially shop before I entered the store. Only disappointment was they were out of Zoots. Need to stock up on Zoots!
This was the first dispensary I had ever been to until I went home to the west side for the holidays. After having visited a few of the dispensaries in the Seattle area I realized just how awesome cannabis central is. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly, and there is a wide range of price points. They have a super organized and easy to read menu so you can get exactly what you want. The owner, Rob, frequently works in the store and talks to all the customers. This dispensary is affordable, consistent, and welcoming.
The cashiers and bud tenders are quite pleasant. Prices are coming down. NOTE: the one’s like Afgooey for $100 for 1/2 are labeled “Long Cut”… *giggles* its “NOT CUT” its simply they cut off a branch, stick it in a jar and label it *giggles*. However the ole “Get what you pay for” is here. Not bad, smoke pretty nicely, Just don’t expect 1/2 oz of BUD because you won’t get it. But as they say “Desperate times means desperate measures” and this fills the slot nicely! Great bargain Cannabis.
NOTE 2: Awesome that you open on Sundays!! and open late on nights too! Just wish was ADA Accessible but are limited on space available as well. For what you offer you do it very well.
Very nice staff and a good selection. They have some nice deals on occasion.
Stopped in to see Rob with the family (my older parents) to pick up for Thanksgiving. Got a THC Bomb pre-roll, some God’s Gift, and some Berry White. Rob was pleasant as always. THC Bomb was good for a fun round of Cards Against Humanity and Berry White gave me a nice buzz while getting ready for dinner. Great little neighborhood pot shop!
I have been going to this shop since they opened but maybe once a week at the most. I’ve been disappointed over the last few months to see the quality go down while prices go up. The dudes that run it aren’t much into weed except as a business which has shown. The staff is pretty nice (except I don’t care for the giant guy that barely fits in the place) and if I read labels and am careful I can get a good deal. I like my deal shopping to be a little less work. I just want to get weed.
Washington is crazy! Those prices are out of this fucking world, FOR POT!
100.00 a gram for oil? when i need a good laugh I’ll go in to your store. high as kite from stuff that i payed 20.00 a gram of kill concentrate.
OH MY WORD! So much for driving the black market back out of business and i’m sure more people will blow themselves up trying to make cheaper oil. WOW~ yee haw.
Great Menu EA!! I love that You post your prices! too many Retail stores do not post their prices, in my opinion if you are embarrassed to post your prices, then you are charging too much money! Great Job, can’t wait to get back to Ellensburg and say HI!

I drove here out of my way because the website says it will be open Saturday and Sunday but it was not. I saw at least 7 people leave mad because it was closed even with a sign saying open until 5 on sunday. Probably won’t come back
Ellensburg Washington was a awesome store to visit and purchase some things needed. Great job
CC continues to be our go-to cannabis supply store. No pushy salespeople. Good variety of flower And not super old stuff. Edibles were a little slim pickings in most recent visit but I believe this is a manufacturer issue – not a retail issue. Eg, chocolates are expected back in a few weeks – this delay might also have to do with the changes the state has been talking about implementing concerning edibles. We also love their return-visitor program where you earn a discount after so many visits. We continue to be CC supporters.
Great little shop! Heading to Potholes from the westside for some bass fishing and was stoked to find this little gem! Way better price than we pay over in king county! Definitely get some Alien Blue Dot, or anything grown by Blue Rock Acres! Great deal on full gram prerolls also. I will never not stop here on my trips to the east side! GO SUPPORT THIS SHOP!!!! You’ll be happy you did!
Great Shop, Great Owner, and Great service. Cant wait to see this business expand as the store is on the smaller side, but don’t let size fool you as it is stocked wall to wall with plenty of different products.
I have never been disappointed shopping here and always leave more than pleased. They have a huge selection of a variety of products, ensuring that you have the ability to leave with what you’re looking for. They select growers that know what they’re doing and can provide quality product consistently (it’s also rad that a lot of the growers are local!). Check out: Oberfelder Holdings, Blue Rock Acres, Rootworx, and Buddy Boy Farms. The menu they provide is easy to navigate, helpful, color coded (sativa, indica, hybrids, and cbd), and allows you to see all of their options. Plus, they are constantly getting new products/strains in so you never get bored of the options. The pricing is actually great here, I often leave with more for my money as they have options such as 2 grams for $15. The staff are all genuine and very sweet. Definitely professional, knowledgeable, and devoted to their job. I honestly, can not think of anything negative to say about this shop. I frequently go to both shops in town, and will go out of my way most of the time just to shop here.
I got a good deal here on shake but smoked the whole thing in a day.
My wife and I were traveling to Mount Vernon for the weekend, and so I thought, “What the heck lets stop and check it out”. Wow was I ever impressed, this is the coolest little shop I have ever been in. Very friendly people that run it and good meds. We also had a burger at the restaurant and it was great. Excellent pit stop for us. Try it some time.
Very nice! Bob? Rob? helped me out and was super friendly. Bud was spendy (like all rec bud) but was great!
I TOOK YOUR ADVICE OF GOING BACK TO YOUR STORE AND I DOES FIND 20% THC FOR $10 A GRAM ARE FIRST AND HIGH CLASS RECREATIONAL MEDECINAL YOU ARE PROUD HAVING IN YOUR STORE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR UNDERSTANDINGS OF MY CONCERNS.
Rob is incredibly friendly and interested in pleasing his customers, and listens what his customers have to say. Great customer service, not a whole lot of variety or large quantities as it is a smaller shop, but very clean, organized and inviting. I wasn’t too impressed with the quality of the preroll or flower I purchased from I believe it was Green Gecko’s farm but was EXTREMELY impressed and more than satisfied with Life Garden’s product. It was trimmed and packaged perfectly, and I got an intense head high from their Durban Poison and a relaxing body high from their Pre 98 Bubba Kush. Rob sells LG’s products at a lower price than the majority of his products too! I absolutely recommend Cannabis Central and Life Gardens!! You won’t be disappointed.
It’s a little small and cramped. Especially with the amount of people going in there. That being said, people probably keep going back because of how friendly the staff is 🙂
I do wish you guys posted those deals that you have on the white board online. Would save me some scouting time!
It’s always disappointing when I give them another chance and go in to see if it’s any better. There’s LESS selection than when they opened and it’s still too expensive for not good stuff.
Super vague Google search brought me here while on a fly fishing trip. First shop I had ever visited. Super friendly!!!! My go to shop east of the Cascades!
I love this place.
I think the customer service here is great. There selection has grown since day one I seam to find a new strain everytime I go in. And if I come in and tell them I wasn’t found of a strain they help me find another. I couldn’t be more satisfied. 🙂
This is the most adorable pot shop in the world. The building used to be a gas station and is now a homey little storefront. The people are pleasant and helpful. And the prices are so good! It’s a long long bike for me to get from where I live to this place since I have no car, but I always go to this one because, at least in small quantities, the prices are so much better than the other one in Ellensburg. I’ve also never gotten anything janked or disappointing from them, every little nug has given its all for my happiness and health.
In short, if you are in the area for any reason, you need to stop in here.
My husband and I just moved to Washington, and this place was on our way to Seattle. It’s a great location especially if you are driving through snoqualmi pass.
I’ve never been much of weed consumer, however, after being on benzos for the past 10 years, I really wanted to give it a try, plus I was detoxing off opiods and benzos.
I really needed a strain that helped me sleep and mellow out my anxiety. The guy working there was incredibly helpful and very nice. I found exactly what I needed (a little pricey, but whatever, it’s Ellensburg.)
That night, and the following 4 days (main withdrawal days) were very relaxing! I’ve detoxed several times and normally I’m clawing at the walls from the anxiety and skin clammyness. I had almost no withdrawal symptoms, which was great since it was also the week of my birthday and Christmas. I would shop here again, and plan to, next time I visit that side of the mountain. 10/10
I love this shop. The staff are Extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. I feel comfortable going there the atmosphere is a warm and welcoming one. The quality they provide is exceptional.
I went in a week or so ago for concentrate and the best thing I could find was a gram for $60!! That’s way more than I’m used to. Now there’s some (A LITTLE) cheaper stuff but is dark as hell and I didn’t want it so I bought a cheap gram of flower (that was decent) and got out of there. I’d rather get 3 grams of top shelf for $100 at the other place.
I’m tired of having to smoke old dry weed and they’ve gone up in price when the rest of the stores I go to are cutting prices. They have crappy growers. I either stop on the westside when I’m home if I have to or stock up at the other shop in town. They’re cheaper and have fresh weed.
Love the new location! Great selection of various indica’s and sativa’s and a helpful, knowledgeable staff to match. Blackberry kush is my personal recommendation at the moment! Close to everything without the main street hassle . Seattlite approved aoe”
This is the best stop in Ellensburg. The budtenders are friendly and always have great recommendations.
Very friendly
I LOVE IT ALL; The shop, selections, workers, prices, LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Did I mention the selection on your cannabis needs? I am impressed for it being for Ellensburg 🙂 Such a danty little shop too! 🙂 Thank you! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, I love the menu organization and the info table you have for the Sativa/Indica.
