Had a supposed special going on 14 grams of flower for $1 ended up being a glitch hyped for nothing .

If you're visiting Downtown Chicago, this is the dispensary for you. Great selection, beautiful store and helpful staff. I recommend ordering ahead on Leafly to skip the line, which can get pretty long.

We're wonderfully elevated at the airport right now; exactly what we asked for.
Thanks, Atom!

Love! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Ordering is always easy and they are extremely quick to respond! The wait after checking-in is a bit longer due to their different process, but it’s worth it. Definitely my go-to dispensary from here on out.

Like being in Walmart but with flower

I ordered an ounce of wedding cake online, headed to dispensary, took about 30 minutes, when I got there after paying for parking they tried to switch my product to Rocket fuel. Last week I ordered an ounce of wedding cake and didn't show up in their system. No loyalty points! Will not order from this dispensary again. Heading to ascend river north location to pick up my wedding cake!

Worst experience I’ve had at any dispo. Will never go back. Waited 20 minutes just to be told I was in the wrong line. Was offered no help just made to feel like an idiot. Never again.
My order was marked as picked up when I never received it. You advertise as closing at 9 on Sunday’s when I ordered and came at 8:30 and you were closed.
Alot of the disposables and carts start to malfunction before being entirely finished. Have reached out to customer service about 2 incidents before and never hear back

I’ve shopped here quite a few times and have always found it to be a really pleasant shopping experience. On this last visit, Anthony G really stepped it up. He had some great recommendations and even gave my boyfriend and I journals to help keep track of how we like different strains. Will definitely keep coming back and hopefully run into Anthony again!

I’ve been able to watch this site grow and evolve as they moved into a new space. The new space is still in progress but is so wonderful. I always get the best customer service, particularly from Michaia who shows me literally every cool accessory that I’ve never seen before. I am so happy to call this space my neighborhood dispensary and am excited to see what else is in store!

Fantastic dispensary in River North. I've been driving up to Lincoln Park and because I was happy with my dispensary and wasn't looking for a change. On a whim I looked for something close and I found Sunnyside!
If you're new to cannabis - or just want to talk to someone with expert knowledge - look for Ernest. He knows his stuff and is super kind. Also, Sofia at the register was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for those looking to enjoy the wonderful gift that this plant produces.

I like the ease of the store. Got in line, talked to a salesperson and got want I wanted. I like the the products were on a iPad and they explained everything thoroughly

The staff is very nice, the line can get crazy but it's totally worth it, more if you are visiting downtown or going to a game in wrigleyville.

NOT ENOUGH STAFF/LONG LINES
I have been coming to this dispensary since 2021 when customers first had to queue up at the Hubbard Inn. Starting a little over a year ago, I have noticed that on MOST occasions, the line to purchase is ridiculously long with usually only two people working the counter. When I walked in on Sunday (May 26) at approximately 6pm, the line was back to the refrigerated beverages, there were 2 people working behind the counter and one handling walk ins, but there were no walk ins. I commented about this to security and was told it is ALWAYS like this. So my question is, if it is always like this, WHY are there not more people working behind the counter?? If this is a high rush time, I would expect the business to have staff to accommodate. I spoke to Nick, the manager on duty and he said he has to give breaks and that this is why there is only two at the counter... and that there are more people working. WHERE????? Obviously not at the counter. Also, during the time I was there, while the line was still long, he pulled one of the people behind the counter to text someone. BAD CALL! Get the line done first. Also, if your staff is saying it is always BUSY at this time, Sunday (6-8pm) I would expect that management would plan breaks around busy time, hire more team members to accommodate the ever growing number of customers, etc. The day before Lollapalooza last year, I came to the dispensary at 4pm and although I was expecting it to take some time, there were again only 2 people working!!!!! The line was all the way to the door! The dispensary should have been fully staffed before Chicago's biggest music festival of the year. This is unacceptable and truly not the way to run a business.
I really hope to see some changes at this dispensary or I will take my business elsewhere.
Amazing staff. Very jovial and fun. Professional and knowledgeable

Security was professional and courteous. The young lady that checked me in was very knowledgeable, took time to explain and recommend different products. This Surely Temple is a banger.
Friendly and helpful my first time in. But once I got to where I was going I was given wrong items that I hadn’t caught when I was being wrung up. Two of the flower I ordered and no preroll

Beautiful location, friendly staff and great selection. Tried a few new products that were recommended by the staff! Highly recommend.

First time at this location (normally got to Elmwood Park 👍🏽) but as usual nice and helpful staff off the top. A great variety with a few unbeatable prices. It was a nice and easy detour from my normal ride home but I’m glad I stopped. Currently high in the shower writing this. ☁️ 💨 🚿 ✌🏽

No complaints; very speedy service.
Would love if they could get some of Grassroots' "Ray Charles" in stock!
