Gynsyng Dispensary & Lounge (Licensed Recreational Cannabis)
About Gynsyng Dispensary & Lounge (Licensed Recreational Cannabis)
One of New Jersey's first licensed consumption lounges, this Merchantville spot pairs a retail dispensary with an on-site lounge where guests can actually consume what they buy. The 4.9-star rating across 614 reviews reflects more than just product — visitors talk about arts-and-crafts events, themed nights, and a team that handles first-time lounge visits with care. The required Druid impairment test before lounge entry surprises some guests, but it's a state-mandated step for consumption-licensed venues. Hours skew toward evening use: 10 AM to 8 PM weekdays, extending to 10 PM Thursday through Saturday, with a shorter Sunday window from noon to 6 PM. The curated menu earns repeat praise, with Journeyman shots and other edibles called out specifically. Located at 14 S Center St in downtown Merchantville, the lounge sits within a walkable historic district, an unusual setting for cannabis retail in South Jersey.

Customer Reviews
This is one of the best places in the area by far. The quality of the products are extremely recommend. The staff are helpful. happy and willing to assist you. In addition to the fact that they are located next to a bar. and grill for a quick bite. This is my favorite place by far! I
I visited the lounge for a two-hour arts and crafts session to decorate cute little joint boxes with my friends! I actually really enjoyed it - and I don’t even partake, myself! The only thing that had scared me a bit was the required Druid test that we had to take in order to enter the lounge for the event but, only because I had not been anticipating any test-taking in front of my friends on the spot and I’m horrible under any kind of pressure. But it went totally fine anyways. Donna, the woman in charge of the event, was very helpful! She provided more supplies than we could ever want and made sure that it was a fun experience for all attendees. I came to her with many questions and she was very happy to answer all of them so I’m very grateful!
Lindsey was a pleasant bud-tender, she was polite, kind, confident in the way she carried herself and conducted business. Today was the 2nd birthday of Gynsyng and she walked me through the special with the die and how customers could win a free gift with their purchase and this made the transaction fun in in a way. Gynsyng is a wonderful place from entry to exit, it’s a comfortable environment complimented by Lindsey, the fellow staff, and the vendors. 5 stars well-earned and deserved.
Awesome doesn’t even begin to cover it. The entire team was so warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the experiences they curate. From the moment you walk in to the second you leave, the vibe is welcoming, upbeat, and just all around top tier. Their menu is curated perfectly, with an amazing selection including some of my favorite craft growers like Panda Farms. Truly loved everything about this place, and I really can’t wait to be back! Happy 2 year Anniversary also, amazing hospitality and warmth.
Great service, awesome atmosphere. Decent products, they have some unique stuff I don't see at other shops. Wish they would lean into that more. Love the journeyman shots edibles they are fire!! Always have good vibes when I come into this place. The menu has items for people on a budget; not only that but they do sales in many different ways. ALSO CHECK OUT THEIR EVENTS WHERE THEY HAVE A LOUNGE YOU CAN SMOKE THE PRODUCT YOU JUST BOUGHT AND LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC OR PLAY GAMES WITH FRIENDS OR STRANGERS!!
