Never had a bad experience here. All of the budtenders are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The prices could be a little better, but all of the dispensaries in NJ seem to be pricey. They do give a discount for people on SSI which is a plus for me. They also have a point system, after so many points you can get discounts. I like that. All of the strains they recommended were on point too. Breakwater in Cranberry used to be my go to but now Zenleaf is!

Called before to make sure they still are open. I was told that they close at 8pm. I got there at 7.50pm and they wouldn’t allow me in due so bullshit reason. Plus the security guy was such a d***

I loved how open , clean, and easy everything was. The staff was very helpful and nice. The prices are high, and there was nothing on sale compared to some of the other dispensaries in the area, but I get it profit. 🤷🏾♀️ I would definitely recommend doing some research and checking the website before going for your first time.

For young “trend setting “ hip weed lovers they are stupid and won’t take a legal New Jersey Driver license given by the state with a legal bar code and how they do it now! When the state issues you a legal document and dispensary says they can’t take it… who loses? Me or you … $400 my pocket could have been in urs but
WILL NEVER EVER STEP FOOT IN …and everyone knows what a great customer I am for recreational weed!! LOL
BIG TIME …Their loss !!!

Not a fan of Zen Leaf as a whole. The bud tenders are great as are the products.
The systems in place around promos, points, and the app are atrocious.
I’ve placed reservations twice and received a “We received your order” but no “Your order is ready”. Both times they were sold out of the product when I went for pick up. Woulda been nice to know.
None of my purchases are linked to my app account, even the one I placed after the app. They said they’d all be linked since I’ve always used my phone number to purchase.
Messaging around promos is terrible. I’ve never received promo emails in my inbox or junk folder even though I signed up with my email a while back.
The store also doesn’t mention promos. I haven’t really noticed any displays, though the screens above the budtenders does show various discounts for special groups(Seniors, vets, etc.).
The long lines really don’t bother me as recreations is new here. But stuff like this will have me seeking out other options as newer dispensaries open in the area.

Went in first time after work in a suit and I couldn’t be more impressed with the friendliness of the entire staff . Someone obviously knows how to hire ! Great experience all around! Wish I got the first name of the young man that helped me he was fantastic! Will absolutely be back , see no reason to shop anywhere else. Lol Extra bonus they give us 55+ crowd a 10% discount!

Been going since recreational opened in May 2022. Tip your budtenders everyone! The staff are always wonderful, the atmosphere is chill even when there's a line out the door. Clean, plenty of security present, and extra parking avail at the adjacent hotel which makes the location right off rt 1 & the mall very convenient. Prices are high in NJ at the moment and a lot of the supply is dryer than desired but with how new things are it's much better than expected. Compared to CA AZ CO etc this is much more of a buy-and-go kiosk situation at this location, hopefully when more dispensaries open up there will be some more space for them to be able to do real consults etc. Unfortunate they can't open any product and don't have samples to show/sniff so it's a mystery sometimes just going by the labels for flower. Edibles aren't marked w terps / cb levels yet either. All in all still impressed with how quickly things are getting up and running and expecting many of these things to be resolved eventually. If you're going 1st time sign up for rewards..I didn't until my 6th or 7th visit and that's a good $25 rewards you're throwing out right there. plus more on your bday.
Very Nice Staff and Nice Clean Place Too!

Zen leaf in Lawrence is my closest dispensary and I am so happy going there. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. They always have my order ready when I get there and answer any questions I have perfectly. My last time there Shane C helped me and he is such a fun guy to deal with. I highly recommend newbies and oldies alike to visit here. You won't be disappointed! I promise!

Pleasurable experience throughout. The Staff was Johnny on the Spot. Total wait time was ~15 minutes. I got lucky because a crowd came behind me. My server, Jillian was doll. Very helpful. Purchased some Verano extracts. They are a bit pricey now but I think over time that might change. The quality is ace. If there's one knock, and this isn't the dispensary's fault but maybe they can encourage the Verano people to put labels on the jars.
Definitely recommend. If you're driving pay attention. The first turn is the exit, the entrance is the second one.

This place always does a great job. I drive by 3 others to go here because of the service. Today, I had Joel H. and he couldn't have been better and more helpful. He was great, but that's not uncommon. It's always a good experience.

We had Michael Q help us. This was our first time smoking and we had no idea what strain or type to take. We decided to go with a Verano Pre Roll in Purple Pinner, Michael was a huge help in deciding what to get! The joint itself was very nice too. Thank you again Michael for the help, he was very friendly and answered all of our questions!

Great. First time buying legal weed in NJ. The only downside is that the parking lot can get really crazy. I had my wife come with me and we parked in the hotel lot next store and she stayed in the car in case we had to move it. I only had to stand in line for about 5 minutes, I got greeted on the way in and once I got to the counter the staff was incredibly knowledgeable.
Dispensary response:

Zen leaf Lawrence is the best dispensary I’ve shopped and I’ve tried a few. The Bud tenders are professional, polite, extremely knowledgeable about all of what they provide. Their quality in service, product and dispensary hours of operation, I believe is unmatched. The only downside one might have shopping Zen Leaf is having to wait for them to restock some of the strains and product I prefer. Don’t get me wrong. All of the different strains and company products they carry are of high quality. But like everyone else, each strain or product may effect one differently than the next person. So yes, I’m selfish. Other patients seem to quickly gobble up the strains and product I’m looking to restock up on, before my visit. Which usually means its generally a pretty good wait time before the particular strains I’m looking for to come around again before they’ve been regrown and processed to the dispensary.

First time actually going in. I had to show up opening day just to see the crowd and wow was there a Line! Around the building and up into the QBM parking lot and into the lot. Hundreds of people.
But yesterday. No line. Just great service and yes it was very busy. Looks like they have about 25 people behind the counter all trying to navigate around each other. It works. Great service. Great looking clean place. I just bought legal cannabis in NJ while listening to Iron Maiden inside Zen Leaf. Don’t pinch me. I love this “Dream “

The past few times I visited Zen Leaf I had a relatively positive experience. The staff has been friendly and Verano has some decent quality strains, but nothing special. However, when I got home I found the seal on the jar was already broken. I have never had this happen in two years of being a medical patient. It has been extremely disappointing to see such a large decrease in the quality of products at the dispensary since recreational was legalized.
Dispensary response:

I come here once or twice a month, and I literally never leave disappointed. The staff is always kind, friendly, and helpful. The place itself is clean and organized. It's quiet whenever I go, so I never wait in line. I'm so satisfied to call it my dispensary that I don't even bother going anywhere else.
Dispensary response:
