This place is a disaster. I have been to Apothecary, Rise and Zen Leaf. Even with dozens in line I have never waited more than 20 mins, they all have Many registers actively operating, their staff is excellent, and they’re all open until 9pm or later (and actually Take Customers until then!). I tried this place for the first time today. Ordered on line this morning with a 7:15pm pickup appointment time. The website stated they were open until 8pm, and absolutely nothing stated to come earlier than your appointment, etc. I arrived at 7:10pm and the guard told me appointments meant nothing and to get in the (Very Long) line with the walk-ins. At 7:15pm he informs us that no one is allowed in after 7:30pm (then put your flipping hours as closing at 7:30!). There was absolutely no one waiting inside, and between 7:15 and 7:30pm not a single person was let in. At 7:30pm we were sent away, and flat out lied to that NJ doesn’t allow recreational sales after 8pm. This place is an absolute crap show, completely disorganized with rude employees and zero care for their customers. I will never spend a penny in this place, and after seeing all the google reviews, they shouldn’t be allowed to keep their license.

NJ recreational dispensaries all pretty much sell the same local brands, but Apothecary seems to be the highest price for the same product. They are also Very misleading with their website. My experience…Went to their site, specifically clicked on recreational menu. Was brought to a menu and there was a note that you could sign in for the medical pricing, which confirmed to me that it was the recreational pricing. Drove the 35 minutes there, asked for the items on the menu, and was told that recreational was only what was on their paper menu. I tried to show that the menu specifically comes up when you click adult recreational use menu, he didn’t want to hear it. The online menu showed 7g for $100. In store the only option was 3.5g for 65, for the bud that’s 3.5g for 60 or 7g for 100 elsewhere, or 3.5g for 60, for the bud that’s 3.5g for 55 or 7g for 80-95 elsewhere. I asked if there was any 7g option, and was told “yeah, but two 3.5g and you get 7g”. Thanks for the math lesson, but that’s 120-130 for what’s 80-100 elsewhere. They also charge 30 for the gummies that are 25 everywhere else, but I asked what they had for indica gummies and was told they would not had strawberry lemonade…so I said I’d just take a pack of those. I left and went to the next dispensary that isn't a ripoff, got 7g for 90, went home and realized the strawberry lemonade gummies are sativa. Can’t even use them. Bottom line, while they have all the same great stuff available, save your money by going literally anywhere else.
