Lit in New Haven is exactly what the name says — LIT. Every time I walk in, the energy is welcoming, the service is on point, and the vibes are nothing but good. The staff knows their stuff, treats you like family, and keeps you laughing the whole time. Love supporting a Black-owned business that consistently delivers quality products and an even better experience. Definitely my go-to spot!

I’ve been coming to LIT for a month or so now. I can’t believe I JUST found them and only 5 minutes from my house. Their rewards system is amazing and their offerings beyond being a dispensary are so exciting. In addition to being a fresh, unique and black owned business - the staff are so kind and caring. With it being close to the holidays a wave of grief overtook me as I was stepping into their location. The staff treated me with care and dignity - offering nothing but hugs and kindness. You already had a customer for life. Super proud to have LIT in our community ❤️

I absolutely love this place. I’ve lived all over the country in many legal states. This was my best experience with staff. You would think the staff had a piece of the business going by how knowledgeable and helpful they all are. These people get it. Unity doesn’t mean we all need to hang out and have lunch. Unity is about our common bond the spirt. One love. I wish this company nothing but the best. Great products, great people. Thank you!

This is my first time in Connecticut and I had no idea what to expect. Upon arrival, Phil and Tamika showed nothing but love and hospitality and made sure we were taken care of. Beautiful store, beautiful people, and 10/10 product. Thank you LIT, I will be back!
