Description

The Original Cannabis Cafe by Lowell Farms stakes a valid claim to its name. The West Hollywood cannabis restaurant was the first of its kind in the United States, beating out hundreds of other candidates.

The cafe is Instagram-chic. Hanging plants, rough-hewn wood floors, and vintage brick walls give off a trendy vibe, while the large windows open to a spacious patio. The cafe’s air isn’t as smoky as you might expect. Lowell uses a specialized odour removal HVAC to keep the neighbours happy.

Under the Original Cannabis Cafe’s business model, a “Flower Host” meets customers at the door of the restaurant. He or she serves as a personal guide throughout the experience, recommending pre-rolls. infused flower or edibles based on customers’ familiarity with cannabis.

But will the food get you high? For an extra $20, the answer is yes. Any dish can be dosed with 25mg of THC or CBD for a gastronomical experience like no other.

Less experienced consumers may feel uncomfortable using cannabis for the first time, so Flower Hosts are specially trained to help them stay safe. So far, the Original Cannabis Cafe has had no serious incidents of overconsumption or driving under the influence.
