The Emerald Dispensary - Upper East Side

I’ve been to PLENTY of dispensaries in the boroughs, New Jersey, Massachusetts and even Cali. I will say hands DOWN this is absolutely one of the best dispensaries around!!! I happened to wonder in on a whim on my lunch break. The store is very clean and organized! I don’t remember who helped me the first time (he was an older gentleman - not sure if he’s the owner) but he is so polite!!! I went in again today and I believe her name was Liz (so sorry if I got the name wrong it’s been a long day 😅) but shout out to her, she was also amazing and even gave me a discount with a little surprise. I love that they have very affordable but great products available. I’ve been to other dispensaries in the city and queens; these other places are definitely overcharging. You won’t have to worry about that here! I love this place and I would absolutely recommend this place to my fellow smoking buddies! 🫶🏽

Wanted a little smth-smth while visiting the MET and the spot was exactly what I needed. K was really nice and super helpful!

I wanted a place that has a great atmosphere, reasonable prices and people that don’t make me feel uncomfortable when making a purchase. I found this place online and they have all 3 of the above listed and it just so happens to be close to my home which is another bonus for me! I also love the decor, it is an aesthetically pleasing place, very warm & cozy and kinda low key. I really like it and as far as the service it was also great! I told the guy that helped me (unfortunately I didn’t get his name) that I want to quit smoking but still get the same high and what type of high I prefer. I’m new to edibles and didn’t know what to expect but I can say that he gave me exactly what I was looking for :) I’m greatly satisfied and will definitely be back this will be my new go to spot and they’re licensed which is also amazing. Satisfied customer for sure! ♥️

My daughter wanted to check out this new recreational cannabis dispensary near me. Very Upper East Side and fits right in the neighborhood. it has a stylish environment (the wallpaper!) and I felt very comfortable spending time on the nice velvet chairs while my daughter shopped. (she said the selections were amazing) I don't smoke weed, but happy my (adult) children can get legal safe products.(Imagine if we had this in the 60s!) However the very nice staff asked if I had any interest in trying some of the CBD products and explained they might help with sleep and muscle aches. I ended up buying this cream they suggested and have to say after a week of using on my hands every morning I am sold! Literally helps my arthritis like nothing else has and I feel like I can do more with my hands every day. I will definitely be coming back for more and might even try some of those sleep gummies! I never post reviews but had to mention Thanks to the great staff I am now a customer!

This dispensary has GREAT staff, always have great recommendations. All you have to do is say what you like and they take care of the rest. Jose has been a great help since the first time I met him. Glad to have found this spot!
