About Ascend Cannabis Recreational and Medical Dispensary - Fort Lee

On West Street in Fort Lee, this Bergen County dispensary carries a 4.6-star average across more than 1,000 reviews. Hours are extensive at 8 AM to 10 PM, every day of the week. The shop serves both recreational and medical customers. Most reviewer feedback describes friendly staff at check-in, helpful budtenders like Zach who walk shoppers through the in-store kiosk system, and good sales discoverability when you ask. Honest feedback also surfaces. Some reviewers flag inconsistent curbside pickup experiences with longer-than-expected waits, and others note that not every front-counter interaction matches the warm tone of the rest of the team. For shoppers in northern New Jersey, particularly those near the GW Bridge, Edgewater, and the Bergen County 95 corridor, this is one of the larger established dispensaries with a strong selection. Heading in-store rather than relying on curbside may give a smoother experience based on review patterns.

  • Open daily until 10 PM
  • Helpful kiosk-savvy budtenders

The girl budtender w/ afro and glasses (?) is the most miserable dispensary worker lol. It was a week day an hour before closing and empty, and she acted like doing her job was an inconvenience. You can go to nearby places or in the city where they’re busy, and still get a good experience. Everyone else including the guard was nice and chill, hope she heals and gets a job she actually feels like doing. Avoid her and I’m sure anyone will like ascend :)

Honestly the worst dispensary experience. I sat outside for an hour after I receiving a text that my curbside order was ready. Then when I walked inside there was zero urgency. I was assured someone will come out and they still didn’t after an additional 30 minutes. Horrible!

I had a truly wonderful experience at this cannabis store thanks to the exceptional care and attention I received. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a kind and warm gentleman at the door whose friendly facial expression made me feel instantly welcomed. His presence alone set a positive tone for the entire visit—even though I didn’t catch his name, I noticed and appreciated the genuine hospitality. The store itself was immaculately clean, easy to navigate, and thoughtfully laid out, which made browsing both stress-free and enjoyable. Everything about the environment felt inviting, organized, and professional. A special shoutout to Valerie, the associate who assisted me. She was pleasant, incredibly friendly, and impressively knowledgeable. She took the time to explain how to properly store my product (reminding me to keep it in a cool, dark place), which showed not just care, but true expertise. Valerie made me feel completely comfortable asking questions, and her thoughtful recommendation for a Treeworks product for future use was spot-on. I walked away feeling confident in my purchase, supported in my choices, and genuinely appreciated as a customer. It’s rare to find a retail experience where warmth, professionalism, and integrity are so clearly present from start to finish. Thank you, Valerie—and to the entire team—for creating a space that feels human, healing, and high-quality. I will absolutely be back.

Came in a few days ago and was helped by Zach! He was super helpful and quite funny. The kiosk is not always easy to use but he really made my experience stress free and even helped me find a sale! I will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
