Customer Reviews

Ashley Campbell

Best dispensary in the area. Super dope aesthetics inside and I just love seeing how the owners show up for the community. Rather it’s feeding the homeless during the holidays or simply being open during snow days lol. In all seriousness, I can appreciate the personable experiences and amazing staff. It’s always a great vibe. Highly recommend!!!

The moment I came in great energy, and the library theme speaks class and excellence. They was very informative on the strain I was interested in. I wasn't let down. If your not into reading books, when you leave out you will read cause the Gypsy is nice check it out

Jill Cohen

The Library is hands-down the best dispensary in West Orange. The vibe is everything—warm, cozy, and totally inviting. It feels like stepping into a stylish living room where you just want to curl up with a preroll and a good book. The team is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to guide you without any pressure. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just curious, this place makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality products and a welcoming atmosphere!

Andrew Williams

Very classy relaxed and open minded environment. It really reminds you of a library only this one is a cannabis dispensary. They have a wide variety of New Jersey Cannabis vendors and great deals. They're in a perfect location and a great neighborhood. They have the famous Jimmy Buffs Italian hot dog spot in which is a childhood staple for me because my family grew up on 14th Ave in Newark where the original one was on 14th Ave and South 9th Street. The staff are very knowledgeable and are eager to please and give you a great dispensary experience.....
