Had an absolutely lovely experience at Bud & Rita's and I can't recommend this shop enough! I stopped in because I picked up a coupon when I was at a record shop down the street - and I'm so glad I did! The shop itself is so cute and clean, and everyone working was so kind, friendly, informative, and eager to help! Shout out to Loretta who gave us lots of pointers when we stopped in. They also have a really awesome ordering system. It's hard to explain but at the kiosks, they have sample products available and when you put them near the kiosk, it'll pick up which product it is and show you that product on the screen! It was so high tech and interesting!! You can sign up for an account and I'm not sure what kind of magic happened but it ended up being a great deal. They also host events and have a really nice, spacious room for their pop-ups. Follow them on Instagram for more info and to see what's coming up! read more

Bud & Rita's Avondale - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

When I tell you I was having the worst experience, and this staff just refused to let that happen. Did I order to the wrong location? Yes. Did I forget what I ordered and have to restart and then get the order wrong and then not having budgeted properly for the wonderful suggestion our sweet patient budtender made? Yes. Did my bank decline my transaction? Yes. Not a single impatience. Not an eye roll, or glancing at the line, no beef. I was like a D in human today. And fuck Olive Garden. Cause when you are at Avondale bud and Rita's- that is when you are actually family. Also shout out to gorge-town security, your muscles made me feel safe. read more

Stop complaining. You're not gonna get top shelf for mid prices. But you get lucky most days. Staff is great, Genie, Jay and Mari are awesome! Definitely recommend stopping in and grabbing a lil something to burn! read more

We just moved to Chicago and have been checking out some of the dispensaries. The staff members are very friendly and willing to help if needed. There's a wide variety of items to choose from that are of various price points. I will say this dispensary is the most expensive I've seen in the city so far. I understand the taxes are not in their control but the base prices are super expensive. The location is colorful and it's a cool spot but make sure to price other locations prior to purchasing here. read more

I was excited to try this place because of the good reviews but unfortunately I had multiple negative experiences with the management. Loretta and the general manager (I wasn't able to get her name) were extremely unprofessional, rude, and dismissive. I discourage anyone from spending your money here with these disrespectful managers and anyone that wants to work there, please don't. The management doesn't seem like they care about much other than themselves. I will not be returning. read more

Solid selection, super nice staff, friendly dog friendly, and really helpful if you leave your card behind :)

honestly open and check whatever you got while in store because I got a cresco live resin 1 whole gram it end up only .5 in the cart, then the next time I went they sold me two carts that damaged 4 different batteries read more

Staff is super nice and deliver great service. Selection is pretty great and I've never had issues.

I've been here a handful of times now and I highly recommend them. Everyone is always kind and helpful. this.

Well, I just got back from my first and seemingly last visit to Bud & Rita's and I gotta say, I'm honestly quite perplexed. So, let me explain, but before anything else, let me say that everyone on staff was courteous and professional. My complaint isn't with anyone on staff (everyone was really nice!), my complaint is apparently with B&R's policy decisions. I walked in and after being greeted, went to one of the ordering kiosks. I picked two items and selected the "MED" option for both to signify that I will be using my medicinal cannabis card, as opposed to the "REC" option for recreational. My sub-total came to $85 and with the medical cannabis tax, the grand total was $93. That looked good, so we confirmed the order and a few minutes later we went to the counter. The person at the counter was super nice and I gave them my state ID and medical card. The total came to $119. The total was with the recreational tax, not the medical tax. I replied, "Is that with the medical card?". They then called over a manager and I was told that since Bud & Rita's is not a medical dispensary, I would be expected to pay the recreational tax. I was being told that my medical card was worthless here and that I would have to pay an additional $26 for the privilege of buying weed here. I was surprised and confused. I then asked if there were any plans to honor medical cards in the future and I was told no. I then pointed out that this was false advertising and that their own ordering kiosk specifically gave me the option to select the medical option and it displayed the medical price. There were no signs whatsoever to explain this situation and to clarify that THEIR OWN ORDERING KIOSKS CANNOT BE TRUSTED. (Seriously, WTF?!) The manager didn't have much to reply with other than to say that the systems are separate and that on Mondays only they offer a pathetic 25% discount for medical card holders. I then explained that this is a cool place and the folks here are nice, but they have literally lost my business forever if they insist on over-charging medical cannabis patients. This not only sucks for those of us with medical cards, but also to the employees who have to deal with folks complaining. The blame lies entirely at the feet of the decision-makers, not the store-level staff. I'm really surprised that the ownership of Bud & Rita's would make such an utterly bone-headed decision as to not honor medical cannabis cards and therefore not charge people the correct tax rate. With the large number of cannabis dispensaries around the city, I can easily go to any of those and not be overcharged. And I will. I will continue to go to MOCA, Sunnyside, and D33 for all my cannabis needs instead of Bud and Rita's. It's a real shame because B&R is much closer to me. But if they don't care about medical cannabis patients, then I won't care about them. read more
