Pakalolo

By Lauren Yoshiko

1528 SE Holgate Blvd., 369-8955, pakalolopdx.com. Cash only.

Although the cuteness of this Hawaiian slang term for weed is enough for an attractive gimmick, you truly are entering a tropical refuge when you walk through the doors of sea-foam green Pakalolo. The warm atmosphere is framed with melon-colored walls and a friendly pair of owner-budtenders who lived in Maui and wanted to bring some sunshine to our rainy city. The concentrate menu features PDXtracts and Pangea Organics, and the dozen or so strains are almost outshone by perhaps the fattest pre-rolls in town. Although there are only two parking spaces onsite, you'll get a 5 percent discount if you show your ticket stub from the Orange MAX Line.
