Kaya Shack

By Martin Cizmar

1719 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 503-954-2348, kayashack.com. 10 am-10 pm daily.

Hawthorne has always felt to me like the street you end up on if you're a mid-20s hosteler. And Kaya Shack definitely feels like the cannabis shop you end up at if you're such a person. Situated next to the Bosnian soccer bar and the last-call sandwich shop, this friendly, feminine-vibed spot sells precious little glass and gadgetry, instead doing steady trade in pre-rolls packaged in a purple tubes. The selected buds don't include anything extravagant, and the staff is knowledgeable but far from geeky. But Kaya does have a huge array of $6.50 pre-rolls and some friendly advice on how to travel with them.
