Best weed dispensaries in Essex, Illinois with authentic reviews

I loved the atmosphere of Sociale! from the second you are greeted by the security they are all incredibly kind. I have had the best times with Jeremy who works there! He is the BEST! and truly looks out for the customer :) i’ve been a pretty frequent buyer and since they opened I will not change dispensaries! they are the absolute best!!

Been a few times and it's always a quick and easy visit. Employees are welcoming and happy to help, plus good deals all the time.

Very chill and knowledgeable staff; excellent addition to the neighborhood for convenience reasons, but also excellent to be lgbt and poc owned and operated.

Jason was my budtender today at Sunnyside Wrigleyville and he really knows his strains very knowledgeable and friendly. Companies need people like Jason. He's the reason why companies thrive and become successful he's at the front lines making sure people are satisfied and no matter how good the product is, if the service doesn't match you won't get customers back. Kudos Jason, you're AWESOME and have a positive vibe we need more people like you in the world.

Loved it here! The staff were so kind and helpful, relaxed and welcoming. The girl who checks your IDs when you first walk in was cheerful and she brightened up my day. The whole place is beautiful on the inside and CLEAN! And as a woman sometimes I feel intimidated going into dispensaries but Aroma Hill it wasn’t intimidating at all!! The service was so fast too, they had my products ready to go in a minute. Definitely will be coming back here from now on!

Great customer service. Bud tenders are knowledgeable about product and deals. They are very friendly to work with. Great atmosphere with a large selection of other products for your smoking needs. Highly recommend this dispensary.

My dislike is they don’t keep supplies updated. Example 14:1 tablets and you don’t have a lot of gummy‘s

Great selection and convenient to shop at. Staff was helpful and warned me about a reward program which gave me a 10% discount on my order. Will def shop here again.

It was the first time in a dispensary where I encountered a very friendly clerk with abundant knowledge. Her name is Julissa. I had a lot of questions to figure out the strain and the dosage for my issues. She was great at picking the right one for me. It is farther away, but I will return here for my medical marijuana needs. Thank you, Julissa; you should get a raise!

Great new employee Nikki! What a great lady! Very knowledgeable and wow a fast learner! Shes worked at dispensaries before so she knows her stuff! Great addition to staff!

You have to come visit this dispensary. It outshines all the rest! Great Hours: open from 6am - 10pm (8pm on Sundays) Outstanding Deals: I can't find any better anywhere else. EVERYONE is so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and extremely dedicated to making your experience incredibly pleasant. The security team, cannabis advisors/senior cannabis advisors, agents in charge, managers/upper management, the very present/involved/hands-on owners and even the adorable shop dog, Emmy, constantly have smiles on their faces and put out good vibes, striving to bring smiles to all the customers as well. They are doing a great job! A Big Thank You to the entire Team!

Unfortunately, I’ve ordered something again that was not in stock at this location after ordering.

I love the people here. They always know what to recommend for what I need, and I always look forward to seeing them! I especially want to recognize Tiela, Kevin, and Amanda for their helpfulness and expertise.

Beautiful place and atmosphere, everything felt very professional. All the employees were very friendly and helpful. Since they had a 15% off sale going on, I was told my first-time 15% discount can be used any time I come by again. Will definitely go here more!

I love the atmosphere- the vibe inside. The staff was friendly and knew the customers by name. Zach was awesome!! My new go to!!

I Went For The First Time With My Girlfriend The Other Day And Both Enjoyed The Experience And Service. Also Its Not That Far Of A Drive.

Love the Urbana location. Everyone is always friendly especially Tatiana. Love her

Everyone was very helpful! We were waited on by Rylee

A 10/10 good experience! Everyone always seems happy, and eager to get you to where you’re trying to go!

I recently moved to Peoria from Minneapolis and I’ve been to the 3 dispensaries close to my house, multiple times and I have to say Aroma has already won me over. When I’m needing to buy weed I check out all of their apps and see which one has the best options for $20ish dollar eights. Aroma seems to be the best. Really been liking the Paul Bunyan stuff lately and they seem to keep a decent stock of a couple of their good stains (crunch berries & apple fritter), hoping they’ll get Alien Pebbles, Purple punch & dream queen Paul Bunyan and/or some sour diesel or headband in their rotation. Other than that, I’ve been happy with this place. Definitely recommend. On one of my purchases I was given a free eighth and on another I got to spin their wheel and got a free pre roll. Go check them out!

Always such a vast variety of amazing deals & discounts consistently switching it up with different brands and strains unlike most other dispensaries I’ve seen. When someone refers you, or vice versa, they will add an additional 20% off each individual item in your online order, even any discounted ones! Love the friendly & helpful staff and they they’re open later! By the way, to the Debbie downer who wrote the last review, don’t hate on the middleman. They have no control over any of the defective or perhaps bad quality of the items in which they receive. Take your negativity & complaints to the cultivators (companies) who distribute the products, not the dispensaries.

Had a lady named Destiny help me with my order. She was very helpful, and got me the best deal possible. Very easy to talk to, knew what I was looking for, and done a great job. Thank you all!!

Great customer service…everyone is always so nice and friendly every time I visit.
