I visited the store today to pick up medication to help relieve my nausea and pain. Alberto welcomed me and took the time to answer my questions about what would work best for both symptoms. He made me feel genuinely welcomed, which meant a lot, especially while I’m already going through so much. That kind of comfort makes a huge difference for someone struggling to find relief from a chronic, progressive disease. Kevin checked me out and provided the same positive, uplifting attitude as Alberto. Two great employees at a wonderful company. I can’t express enough how this level of customer service and human decency truly makes a difference, not only in choosing to come back, but also in the healing process.

I visit Rise a lot and always have a good experience- but I visited on 12/22 and met Patti who was sooooo helpful and really answered all the questions I had. I had a medical and a recreational order and she helped with both and even gave great recommendations. I am hoping to see her again very soon! Thanks Patti!

Shoutout to Ka$h at Rise for delivering truly world-class service this evening. From the moment I walked in, he set the tone with professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. Every question was answered thoroughly, nothing felt rushed, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Ka$h doesn’t just do his job—he represents the brand at the highest level. Attention to detail, clear communication, and a customer-first mindset like that is what separates good service from exceptional service. Rise is lucky to have him, and I’ll absolutely be back because of experiences like this.

This review is based on my experience & my experience only.. Rise Dispensary in Paterson is a standout destination, earning a perfect 10 out of 10 in my experience. Their impressive selection of cannabis caters to all preferences, with Rhythm being my personal favorite for its quality and potency. The prices are reasonable, and the staff shines with their exceptional customer service—always ready to help you find the ideal strain. My only minor complaint is the parking situation, but this doesn't detract from the overall experience. Rise remains one of my top three dispensaries in New Jersey!
