Very clean shop with friendly staff. Considering New York State regulations they have a decent amount of different products a little bit pricey for what you got but again New York State.

With the pandemic, I’ve been having problems with a number of doctors and medications. But with the Botanist, my orders have always been taken by pleasant, professional people who can always answer questions. Lately I’ve been using home delivery which is great. Always on time, they call 10 minutes before they arrive and are as pleasant as the staff at the Botanist.

Half the staff knows what they’re talking about, the other half is clearly making things up as they go.
I’d go to Curaleaf or sunnyside just based on how I’ve seen the manager treat his employees. Ethics clearly isn’t in their code of conduct

The people working there are really nice. You need to do your own research before going. The atmosphere is nice the products are poorly made. The vape breaks very easily and the oil leaks out. You have to be extremely careful the tincture will leak completely even if you close it well. I guess you just have to be extremely careful. I wouldn’t suggest going without doing your own research. I don’t think the staff is trained well enough but they are really nice. I’m going to try another dispensary and see how that goes. I do think some of this positive feedback might be staff because I don’t feel like they know enough to go in their blindly.
the pharmacist and the technicians are all super helpful and very friendly the only issue I have is the pricing but that's not up to them but other than that great experience overall
Awesome staff. Always great to place an order through Leafly and pick up at your store. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. I just wish this was closer to my home. Hopefully when New York approves this method of pain relief for the general public a branch will open up in Bayport

This location is great! Super friendly, the Manager Joe is great. Very accommodating. He even gave me a bottle of water and mints while I waited. Ashieka was awesome as well. Very helpful with all the info about the product. I would definitely recommend this place. The product is good too!
Very friendly staff. They really take time to explain the products. Clean & professional.
Wonderful staff wonderful people always a pleasure

First time in a dispensary, and was walked through everything with patience, and knowledge.

Great experience! All staff are super knowledgeable and educated and really go above and beyond to make you feel heard and comfortable. This is a quick stop once you've been registered! I highly recommend this spot, plus the decor is super cute and cozy.
Absolutely lovely staff!!!!! Very personable, friendly, empathetic, just a great bunch of people. They are VERY VETERAN FRIENDLY!!!! Which means ALOT to me, and my other fellow veterans .
I always shop here, just because of that. They always strike up conversation, they are quick to process your order and give a veterans discount.
The store is very CLEAN!!! Which also means that they care and is important to me.
I would HIGHLY recommend this establishment!! I never go anywhere else, even tho there are closer dispensaries.
Although I got a text my order was ready they didn’t have it ready or know what it was. 30 minute wait.
Ok, it's actually hilarious but every time I try to exit the timing on the outside buzzer locks me back in and I can never get out. I think it's a sign bc this pace is great
The Botanist is a beautiful dispensary with everything you need for your well being. The staff there, so friendly and welcoming. I am looking forward to my next visit there!

I had an incredible first-time visit to the Botanist! I've been to a couple of dispensaries in the area for flower, but NYS suspended all ground flower for a few months, so I visited the Botanist. Mike did my consultation; he asked me thoughtful questions, and together we figured out what the best type of product and strain would be for my symptoms. Now that it's been 3-4 days, I can say he steered me in the absolute right direction. My only complaint about the Botanist is that it can be pricey compared to other local dispensaries--but the product quality is HIGH, no pun intended. If you're looking for a dispensary on Long Island with a beautiful aesthetic, where you'll be well taken care of, this is the place to go. Just be prepared to spend a little extra money.

The Botanist has the best ambiance of any dispensary in the area. The people who work there are very friendly and knowledgeable about their product. On the flip side, the Botanist branded carts are overpriced for the potency and flavor they offer, however, Matter cartridges in stock are only $5 more and in my opinion better. This store also does not offer flower unlike its competitors such as Curaleaf. If the Botanist can reduce prices on their own branded products and offer a wider range of products they have the potential to be a 5-star dispensary.

I really don’t understand the bad reviews at all. Are they referring to the same place??!! The first time I came here, I had my medical certification from my Dr, but the NY state website was down and I couldn’t register my certification and obtain my medical marijuana card. So I called up the Botanist asking for help. A very helpful and very wonderful woman by the name of Ashika took my info down and tried throughout the day to access the site but to no avail. She went out of her way to help someone who wasn’t even a customer yet and she didn’t have to. When I finally got my medical marijuana card, I went to the shop and spoke with the pharmacist John. This man was an incredible human being and was very chill and knowledgeable. He helped me with my specific issues and his recommendations were on point. There are other employees that I can’t remember there names but honestly everyone there has been a pleasure to deal with. The product is great and the selection is A-1. It’s such a chill and happy vibe like you would imagine a dispensary should be! I’m a loyal dude and will give The Botanist my business always because you can’t pay for excellent customer service. I look forward to the next time I can get my Meds!!

Absolutely the most beautiful dispensary I have ever had the pleasure to visit. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Everyone working there makes you feel comfortable and seem very knowledgeable and willing to help. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Also the parking lot is spacious which makes visiting quick and easy.
Very welcoming and helpful.
