Zen Leaf - Rogers Park

I like going to this place. It’s a short drive from home, everyone there is super nice and their selection is great! I’ve gone to a few different dispensaries in Chicago. This is my favorite.

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!

Sell outs. This dispensary used to be a small locally owned business until Big Cannabis came in and took over. Now everything is dummy expensive for the exact same product. Also, this company is VERANO and they’re know for multiple mold scandals and not telling the public about it.

I recently took a trip up to Greengate in Rogers Park Chicago After reading several reviews that mentioned how great this location was for exclusively medical cannabis users. The pre-order process via their website was streamlined easy and offered ample selection at extremely competitive pricing compared to other dispensaries on the north side of Chicago. The location has a convenient parking lot attached to the building and I was easily able to get a spot and noticed a sign for additional parking if needed making the in and out process totally stress-free. All the staff at Greengate were incredibly friendly! They informed me about how their Loyalty program works to earn back discounts on purchases and that I would be receiving 10% off as it was my first order. I ended up changing my order on-site and the staff I worked with listened to me intently and brought out several different options and discussed with me the pros and cons of each. I ended up selecting a Shelby County RSO and the medicine is just phenomenal and exactly what I asked for - they really did a great job listening to my needs and providing very thoughtful options. While I may have several closer options to choose from on the Northside when choosing my medical dispensary but I have to admit that is was worth the extra few minutes to drive to Greengate and I will definitely be coming back!

They used to be awesome! GreenGate was the only Medical-Only dispensary on the north side of Chicago. I would go there all the time because the staff were amazing and the deals weren't bad. That changed when they got bought out by Verano in April 2021. If you're not aware, Verano is one of the "big guys" in the corporate cannabis business. Now they charge an extra tax for medical patients, with no forewarning. I always bring exact change, so when I found out my usual order was 3 dollars more, I had to use the ATM to withdraw more cash. Not really a big deal, but paying an extra ATM fee on top of that just felt a little annoying. It's a shame because they have one of the best budtenders in the city (shout-out to Dustin) and the rest of the staff was always really personable. I'll miss them! I have since switched to a different dispensary, and I don't regret it at all. It seems everything at GreenGate is just going more and more downhill as time goes on.

This dispensary was really great until April 2021 when it was bought pot by one of the BIG GUYS. Now there just another Pot Shop. Now we're just another customer. Too bad. I'm leaving for another shop

👎👎😤😤hmm

Their prices are the best in the area. They always have some kind of daily deals, and they had 10% off everything for the whole month of April (20% off on 4/20). They give you $25 of in-store credit every time you spend $500... If that wasn't enough, they have the most extensive selection of carts I've ever seen. The staff is totally cool, very knowledgeable and accommodating. And, they have free bags of chips most of the time. Besides all that, that they only cater to medical patients, so you know what to expect when you walk in the door. They have a small parking lot, but I've never had a problem getting a spot. And hey, most places in Chicago don't have a lot at all (or free chips!)

Complete sell outs.

This has been my dispensary to go for a year. The staff is super knowledgeable about their product and the atmosphere is friendly, calm, with a nice decor and parking on the property. I started using product for medical purposes a year ago. The world has changed so much in 2020! Now IL is both medicinal and recreational available for 21 years and older individuals. GreenGate stayed medicinal only until further notice as their process their license with the state. I am both happy about that, and confident that soon they will have access to service recreational clientele too. I want to talk this moment to say "thank you to the staff " for being so nice both in their professionalism and personal/human kindness. I appreciate all of your support and dedication you give your patients and patronage.

Personalized, super-friendly service. So relieved when they reopened after their brief pandemic closure. I've been to other dispensaries that are a bit fancier, but this small, intimate space and great tunes work really well for me. So many happy patients there, too -- it's a community, not just a retailer. This is my happy place. <3

The room was so sick to be in

I recently switched dispensaries and I am SO GLAD I did. Not only does GreenGate have an amazing amount of quality selections, but they also have relatively cheaper pricing. If you are considering a dispensary in the far north side, I could not recommend this one more. It took me a minute to get switched over, but the friendly and informed GreenGate staff helped the entire time. When I finally got through the dispensary switch process, I was SO THRILLED to be able to go in. My only qualm is that the guy who was helping me with my order seemed annoyed/judgmental of me. He also forgot to include a few items so I had to go back to get them (and he was weird about that too). That being said, I found the rest of the staff extremely pleasant and I hope I will get someone else (or that guy will be nicer) next time I go in! I definitely found "my" dispensary. GreenGate is awesome.

It’s good

It’s beautiful! They’re all beautiful young souls! Love the fire ass weed too!

Courteous, informative and friendly interactive staff with wide variety of medicinal products. Very relaxed experience.

Amazing! When you first enter a security guard is there to greet you and lets you in . There the lobby offers a huge screen TV, refreshments and munchies . The atmosphere is ZEN , yes they want you to lay back relax and feel comfortable. Once you get to the BUD BAR as I call it , any Budista back there can consult you . I like they ask what you like and what you want the effect to be and then they cater to that. Their recommendations are always on point. I love their service and environment. The spirit is always warm and inviting . That to me makes up for a tight squeeze in the lot or maybe waking 10 feet from the curbside parking .

First all you don’t hang up in nobody face when asking a question I ask about the service and who are they serving and was I told we not serving no one but medical and then hung up how rude I wanted to ask and I sign up for medical there but hung up right away thank you but no thank you

I'm going to call bullshit on your advertised "2 parking lots". You have like 5 parking spots and it seems like employees are parked in it. They're tiny and a pain to get in and out if there's even a spot open, I usually had to find street parking. I get this is a dispensary, but your staff could be a little more professional. It looks pretty bad to walk in with people sitting there with their feet up on the desk and the person helping you clearly too stoned for work.

What an amazing place. I am a total newbie to the land of medical cannabis, and as a caregiver to a son with a recent brain injury there are many times where too much information is thrown at me at one time. Everyone at this location is patient, knowledgeable or if they don't know they will find out and learn along with you. My sons injury has caused his brain to send signals of muscles spasms 24-7 causing pain all the time. We found a 1 to 1 formula that has changed his life. He laughed and smiled and relaxed finally after 3 years of spasticity! He also wasn't "high" so he could participate in his therapies. Completely a game changer. I have a grateful heart.

Based on my initial visit, this is a friendly, welcoming environment and a nice place to buy cannabis products. I’ve been to three other Chicago dispensaries as my brother’s caregiver, and chose GreenGate when I qualified for my own card because of reviews here, and it’s proximity to my home. They need to improve their menu listings, many of which lack THC and CBD information, but I very much like the place in person. Having parking is a nice plus!

Recently switched to GreenGate and so glad I did. The staff made the process easy. This was my first visit and once inside I knew I made a good switch. Great atmosphere and really impressed by the selection. So much to choose from compared to my previous dispensary. I wish I could remember the gal's name who helped guide me on my way, she was genuine and very knowledgable. It was a great first visit.

Best Dispo I’ve ever been to without a doubt. I lived in Oregon for a few years so I have been to tons of dispensaries before but none have been as friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, affordable, and with as many options as GreenGate. They always give me tons of discounts and free stuff and always help me find the medicine that’s right for me. Perfect for beginners as well as those with experience. Plus they have an adorable Boston terrier that is always so sweet and loving and helps to keep you calm and laughing even if you’re uncomfortable or overwhelmed :) They are just a very short walk from multiple train lines and also have free parking. Seriously, if you’re anywhere remotely near GreenGate, give it a try you will not be disappointed!!

I switched to GreenGate from a different local dispensary a few months ago and I’m so happy I did! Advantages of GG over other dispensaries: They email a daily menu with prices and DAILY specials. I end up running over there all the time because of the great deals they happen to be having that day. My favorite wax just happened to be on sale today for $10 off! Their menu offers a wider range of products and at a variety of price points to meet everyone’s needs (the most expensive product is not always the best product for me). Their budtenders are super knowledgeable about the products and will let you see the packaging before buying. There is never a line or a wait. My favorite thing about GG is that I have a personal budtender, Chris, who knows my preferences and goes out of his way to order products I’ll like. Basically I walk in the door and Chris tells me what I want. Overall GG is the best experience I’ve had with dispensaries in IL.
