Emerald Fields

This place was nice I like the tablets available to look over prices and availability, although it wasn’t up to date for the day. I got a 20 dollar eighth of sweet tooth and was disappointed with the significant amount of seeds. The brain OG is the bomb though!

I come here regularly and easily give this place 5 stars. All of the staff that you encounter is very friendly and knowledgeable. I have never had to wait during my experiences either– even when it’s busy. There is a decent selection of flower as well as edibles, lotions, candies, party cones, and much more. The prices are reasonable for recreational. They also offer a 10% off loyalty program for regulars and sometimes have deals going.
Lastly, the location is very easy to get to and you can’t miss it while driving by.

I see a lot of people saying its «too expensive.» This place blows Maggie’s Farm out of the water. No sketchy people waiting outside to make you feel weirded out. This is the first and only rec shop I will go to. The staff for one is always amazing and social. I have never ever had a bad experience. If you have then I’m sorry for you and I’m sure it wasn’t anything to do with the staff or product. If you aren’t willing to pay then take your broke ass somewhere else or grow it yourself!

Great place, friendly staff, & very good flowers. I got the Sour Diesel an it was amazing. Walked in an wasn’t really a wait.

Tooooooo expensive. Take the drive to Aurora or Denver for quality. If you want to save money visit Altitude on Tuesdays for tax free day that will compensate the travel but stay away from the only two recreational dispensaries in MANITOU SPRINGS. $ 65 an 8^th? Low grade? Harsh smoke? No way! Never again will they take advantage!

Had my first rec experience here while couchsurfing in the springs, so this is more of an experience review for newcomers and my expectations from looking at places online.
Experience:
First off, the outside looks awesome and there’s plenty of parking. When you walk in, you’ll be greeted in a foyer to a locked door by a desk person who asks if its your first time and will take your IDs (that you get back as soon as you walk in). He then unlocks the door, where you enter a waiting area with merchandise and computers linked to reviews and their inventory. There is also an ATM, as it is cash only.
You’ll be brought in (through another locked door) to the room where all the product is. If you’re new, someone will give you a orientation and tour. Pictures with your phone are okay (being from Indiana, I had to take some).
When deciding what you want, you tell one of the many staff walking around with iPads and they ring up an order for you for the other staff to prep while you continue to look around. After that, you just go up, tell them your number or name, and you’re all set.
Obviously, everyone was super friendly. They will answer any questions you have as a noobie and seem very used to it. I half expected a sketchy place with a ton of stoners and this wasn’t it at all. Most of the other customers seemed like wealthy professionals.
Product:
Quality was phenomenal compared to what I’m used to, so not much to say there. The saliva I got (sour alien) was honestly almost too much to comfortably handle, but was also the highest % potency in the whole shop that day.
There are 3 grade levels, all with a viewing canister and specs. The low ($ 11/​g) and medium ($ 14/​g) have 6 options and the high ($ 17/​g) has 3. You can buy the «flower» straight or you can buy a 0.7 gram blunt (RAW cone wraps) for the price of a full gram. This is the option I took both times.
Edibles were very limited compared to what I see online from other places, but they also had random sex enhancing product, so maybe that makes up for it. As expected, they also have an assortment of pipes, vapes, and other typical smoke shop goodies.
4 instead of 5 stars because felt like there could’ve been a lot more to look at /​choose from.
Overall, this place was way nicer than I expected, the staff were extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable, and the product was great.

HORRIBLE… do yourself a favor and keep driving. Prices are way too high and the quality is definitely sub-​par. Absolute tourist trap, full of dry and weak… commercially grown shake.

We took a vacation in Colorado and tried a few places. Nice shop, helpful people, but your product comes from the back some where. The one thing that really kept me from going back wash they scanned my I.D.

Awesome employees. Simple process. Prices are decent. Your mom looks great in that shirt.

One of the better dispensaries I’ve visited in Colorado. Prices were very reasonable and they have a 10% discount for anyone (including non-​residents). Staff is very helpful and they have a pretty good selection of flower and edibles.

Super helpful. Very efficient establishment. If you’re new to marijuana they will help you to find what you want.

We are so excited to have emerald fields around. The customer service and friendliness radiates from this shop. They are very knowledgeable and helpful and have a great variety of products. The prices are definitely reasonable (for recreational) and beat Maggie’s any day. Emeralds is organized, clean, affordable and majority of the time a quick in and out process! If you’re in town, Emeralds is the place to go! Not to mention their awesome loyalty program that offers you 10% off your first and future purchases! Who doesn’t love a discount off already low prices?!

So a friend stopped in this place on a whim. She had only been to one other rec store (or MMJ) so her experience is limited other than Maggie’s Farm down the street. She told me her experience at Emerald Fields was night and day compared to Maggie’s.
Prices were lower, it was warm and inviting — a much more welcoming and friendly shopping experience than the rushed prison-​like feel at the other place. The staff was friendly and answered her questions, checkout was quick, and at no time did she feel like she was doing something almost seedy like she felt at Maggie’s.
If you are looking for RMJ, forget the other place in Manitou and stop in Emerald Fields. She says you won’t be disappointed.
