Super fast and the best prices in New York State! Compared to Long Island, and other places in Brooklyn? This place has better choices if cost is a priority. They sell “Smalls” which are cheaper simply because the buds are “smaller” but does it matter? And the best is their weekly potluck bags which is a mix of all different types of strains.

Simply the best service in Brooklyn! I’ve used several and they all have some different gimmick but don’t compare to the selection and RELIABILITY. EMPIRE always does it right, just like you want it. Don’t go anywhere else or you’re just wasting time and money.

I wish Empire had a Harlem location, but until then I will gladly patron the BK lounge! From the moment I called, walked-in, made my purchase, relaxed in the back, and left, the customer service was chef’s kiss! ALL of the employees are a VIBE! From the young lady at the front desk, to the gentleman that assisted me with my purchase, and the young lady who checked me out, the security, and the others in the shop. Everyone was so welcoming and happy! The shop truly embodies the phrase, “Spread love it’s the Brooklyn way!” The outdoor lounge area is beautiful, spacious, and just an overall nice touch! The selection is very good, and they even have membership passes. I will definitely be back, and I’m telling EVERYBODY! My sister and I thank you all for such a lovely time!
