Blew by this place a few days ago, I really dug it. Cool older guy showing people where to park, had a good conversation with him when I was leaving. Really cool dude, very welcoming start!
Went in expecting that what was on their menu on Leafy is updated, but was disappointed to find out that it is not updated, and from speaking to the budtender, this seems to be an ongoing issue.
As far as experience, while other dispensaries I've been to have nice printed menus or nice signage up, this has more of a warehouse feel with a menu only meant for the staff, nothing laying on counters and was handwritten, even the staff had some issues reading it.
so, on to the good stuff.
The budtenders were helpful, they steered me to some good strains, strawberry lemonade, durban poision(preroll only) and mendo breath.
All 3 strains had great taste and aroma, nice bag appeal too. Excellent smoke!! I loved the strawberry lemonade good mix of head high and some body relaxation but not too much. Smoked a bowl got blasted went out for some drinks and was happy, chatty but in a cool not overpowering way.
I will be back

PM’d NEA through Facebook, they responded promptly. Walked in, showed my ID(one time only), approached the register and made my purchase. Swift service from start to finish. All other dispensaries should take note.

Carlos was amazing! I am a medical patient and he helped me so much today. Whenever I am there and he helps me I know I am going home with something I am going to like.

Just finished a chat session with John and wanted to tell you that his attention to the detail of my questions and his clear responses to my questions were exceptional. I am now better informed, and quite happy about that. Good job, JOHN! And thanks to all!

This was my first time using my new medical temporary I.D and everything was super smooth I was nervous because I had never been through this process before but my bud tender Teddy made my first experience a great one! He made sure to explain all the deals that were available to me that day and got me great deal on some great recommendations for some eighths I picked out. Will definitely be back here and the selection was great!

Needed so advice on a product to help with arthritis. Richard F. Was right there to assist me and recommend something he had personally used. Really helpful and I know if I ever need more advice Northeast Alternatives is there for me. Thank you!

I have a herniated disc in my lower back and sciatica. I have been in extreme pain for months and cortisone injections/steroids/PT has not helped. I am looking for a cannabis strain that will help alleviate the pain but not make me feel paranoid. Victoria was extremely helpful! We discussed my health issues and she took the time to recommend cannabis options that would meet my needs. Exceptional service!!

Back in the day people could unwind with their neighbors. That warm, fuzzy feeling laughing late at night with close friends. You were welcomed! This portrayal best describes my interactions with Northeast Alternatives. Each of my budtenders were eager to share a thorough wealth of knowledge, engaging one person at a time, making it extremely comfortable asking any questions I had. (I had many - thank you Johnny T). I cannot say enough positive things about the people here, most recent LuAnn and Richard F who thanks to his patience directed me to where to write a review so I properly acknowledge you all. Thank you

I will gladly drive out of the way to come to NEA. The staff are very friendly and most importantly I never feel rushed if I don’t know what I need. With NEA’s veteran discount, there’s no need to go anywhere else if you’re nearby.

Best spot for recreational, hands down.... Quick even with a long line in front of you. Also NO SHUTTLE. Nathan waited in me today was very well informed, makes buying that much more interesting.

I have been going here since the first day they opened- i have a VIP card and know many budtenders on a first name basis. The selection is great and the staff is friendly. The problem I have is that they didnt properly weight an ounce for me and I received only 24.5 grams of flower and was charged for a full ounce. I watched the budtender weigh the product then for some unknown reason she decided to grab a different scale and weight it again and remove a little bit before bagging it up. I never saw her tare the second scale perhaps that is why when i got home and threw it on my scale it was only 24.5 g . I called them to ask about the discrepancy and was hung up on for "yelling" when I am a hard of hearing disabled veteran who speaks loudly because I cant hear well. When I called back I was told that there was nothing I could do and the scales were calibrated etc. I am not a liar or a thief and i don't think they did it on purpose either but i didnt get what i paid for and they treated me poorly when I asked about it. I will never return or recommend this place to anyone
This is generally my go to place for weed, it is close by and they generally have strains I like. The budtenders are friendly, I don't generally need much help since I know what I want. I have noticed lately as a medical patient I am waiting in line for awhile. They really need to get more budtenders on the medical side, we pay for our card and it is disconcerting to see the recreational side moving faster

I always enjoy every visit to this dispensary. All the people are both helpful and knowledgeable. My bud tender tonight was Devin H. He was very nice and very informative.
