About Puffin Store NJ

With more than 5,200 reviews and a 5-star average, this George Street shop is one of the highest-volume dispensaries in New Brunswick. Customers who've shopped at other adult-use stores in New Jersey routinely call Puffin's loyalty rewards program the best they've tried, and birthday perks come up often in reviews. The team is the recurring star: budtenders like Katie and Elianna get individual shout-outs for product knowledge and a no-pressure approach that helps newcomers and regulars alike. Hours stretch later than most New Jersey dispensaries — until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, with 10 AM to 10 PM the rest of the week. That late-night window is a clear draw for the Rutgers crowd and anyone heading out after dinner. Selection is wide, sales are described as fair rather than gimmicky, and the overall vibe leans organized and welcoming rather than overwhelming. It's a steady benchmark for what a downtown adult-use shop can be.

Customers mention:
  • Best-rated rewards program around
  • Open until midnight Friday-Saturday
  • 5,000+ five-star reviews
  • Birthday perks for members

I have been coming to puffin for a few years now and I have tried the competition as well. Puffin has a friendly staff, great selection, decent sales, and good products. Puffin also has the best rewards and the customer appreciation is really second to none here. I recently had a very nice surprise experience here. So if you go on your birthday they really do wish you a happy birthday and some free gifts .... Try this place out you won't regret it. I do highly recommend Puffin, and I will be back again.

I had a great experience at Puffin thanks to Katie. She was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful without being pushy. I told her what kind of vibe I was looking for and she walked me through a few solid options, explaining the differences clearly and making sure I felt confident in my choice. You can tell she actually understands the products and cares about matching people with the right fit instead of just making a quick sale. The whole interaction felt relaxed, professional, and welcoming. If you stop by, definitely ask for Katie — she makes the experience smooth and easy.

Katie at Puffin is literally the best. She’s super knowledgeable and actually explains things instead of just pushing whatever has the highest THC. She put me on to RSO gummies for my neck and shoulder pain and they worked sooo well. She also educated me about terpenes and how they matter more than just THC %, which honestly changed how I shop. Everyone there is always really nice too, the vibes are great. My experience with Katie was enjoyable, She was really great to talk to! Definitely recommend going to her if you can.

Angelica Adragna

I had such a great experience at Puffin. Elianna is truly amazing and you can tell she actually cares about the customers and the overall experience. Everything feels organized and welcoming. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable without being pushy. The whole vibe is chill but still professional. Definitely one of the best dispensary experiences I’ve had.
