The Leafly online order pick up line had 1/4 the people in it, however we waited longer than majority of ever other cutover in the regular line. Nothing is ever fast in that place. read more

Not very happy with the flower this past few weeks. Littered with seeds and still claiming premium flower. They pack ya in like cattle and makes for an uncomfortable atmosphere being told where to stand and how close to another person you need to b for them to pack in more people. Were adults and dont need somebody to tell us how close to another we should b standing. They can only process so many people an hour so cramming us in a line and nut to butt is not a relaxing atmosphere. Not paying for seeds I'm my flower anymore!!! read more

I have been here a handful of times over the past 6 months or so, and every time I come by the service and options couldn't be better. There's always something new on the menu and always a knowledgeable, friendly staff member ready to help. No matter how long the line is, around the building even, it never seems to take more than 20 minutes or so to get in and out. As great as they are all around, it's really the staff behind the counter that sets Northeast Alternatives above the competition. I highly recommend them for medical and recreational shopping. read more

Trash service awful products they just buy wholesale from vendors they dont care what they put on their shelves awful customer service I voiced my complaint and all I got was a sorry don't come back ahahahahahahaha this is why dispensaries suck they don't care your better off sticking to the black market at least they care what you put in your lungs especially when your spending money with them they want you to come back read more

I have gone here since they opened and was always impressed with the friendliness and customer service. That remains true today with a couple of exceptions. When I first started going here (before COVID), even with very long lines service moved pretty quickly and I was never waiting for longer than 10-15 minutes. For at least the last year service has gotten slower. I've been trying to go at off-peak times to avoid the lines but it just seems like they are either short staffed or are just moving a bit slower? I know the whole COVID situation forced places to do a lot more work to be able to accommodate customers but it's been a while now and they have their system in place so not sure why it is so much slower now. Also, the past couple of batches of flower I have gotten have been very poor quality and I've been disappointed. For this reason I am going to try some other dispensaries in the area. Not sure of the reason for the dip in quality but I can't really afford to keep buying sub-par product. Is something going on Northeast Alternatives??? read more

*One full gram on the medical menu was purchased and was given a half gram of bubble hash. If the labeling wasn't contradictory and said both half gram and full gram most likely would have not been given what was owed to me and would of gotten the "you should of checked your purchase before leaving" yup let me just whip out the scale right quick.. I can't read more

I want to say Thank You to my Budtender - Ellen N (ID: 44207) for making my initial visit so memorable! I was kindly greeted and initially disappointed as the Vape cartridges continue to be banned by Ma. Ellen took the time to 'walk' me thru the edibles and I must say her suggestions were spot on. Thank again to NE Alternatives and specifically Ellen N!! read more

Good tree and helpful staff. I ordered some cookies, and peach sangria gummies and they were great.

First off it's horrible I need to make it account don't understand why you just can't call like every other place give him your identification information for medical use but instead they make it so difficult I spent over an hour and a half trying to set up an account and no one there seemed to wanting to help in the chat doesn't help either because you can't open it while you're making an account but yeah very disappointed. Thought it was much better in my opinion read more

I have a daughter that works here. She is a Budtender, and loves the fellow employees and the numerous customers. It is a very busy business, always. Prior to coming here she was, and still is, a licensed caregiver in the cannabis industry. From what she has heard from many customers, Northeast Alternatives is the best such facility in all of Rhode Island and Massachusetts! read more

Very friendly and helpful. Took the time to answer all my questions. Very organized and a nice supply of everything. I'll be back soon. Tytyty read more

This is my go-to dispensary! They have the best weekly deals for med patients, and a nice variety of products. Online ordering is always so fast and easy, and even if I don't order ahead, the line is never too long. Employees are all very helpful. Melissa specifically is awesome! I've been helped by her several times and she's great, very knowledgeable and always gives me good recommendations. She's even remembered me the past few times I've shopped, which means a lot since I'm sure she sees hundreds of people a week. Would definitely recommended NEA, especially for med patients! read more

I was supper nervous to go to a dispensary for the first time, but I couldn't have been happier with this experience. From start to finish, the staff was attentive and willing to answer any questions I had. As someone who can get anxious over small things, Erik took the time to discuss each of my options and what would be best for me. Discreetly packaged, clean facility, and smooth process. Highly recommend. read more

Went here just for a couple pre-rolled joints. Was SO POORLY ROLLED that as soon as I tried to light it, no smoke came out. Tried to light it again, and it BURST OPEN and fell all over the ground and then was taken away by the wind. Waste of money for the pre-rolls. Staff is friendly and helpful but if they are rolling these, or using a machine - IT NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED TO BE PROPERLY CONSUMED. read more

Another Great experience! Richard F. Was very knowledgeable and helpful with my questions and finding the right stuff for medical needs! Definitely made the process feel more comfortable and confident in what I was buying and got GREAT Deals!!!!! read more

So NE will not recognize the importance of veterans and the help this item provides many with PTSD and other aliments. They do not recognize nor provide any veteran discounts for their adult customers while knowing that MM is not available via the VA. When asked about this I was directed to contact the state's overseeing board, which I did and was informed "oh well, get a medical card for the discount." The whole experience leaves a distaste in my mouth, shame on NOrtheast Alternatives and the state of MASS. read more

very clean, professional, and friendly. No waiting. From parking to entering this was a very seamless experience. Taxes are to be expected, so, prices are reasonable. read more

Stopped in today, first time recreational buyer from RI. The 40 minute trek was definitely worth it. Picked up an eighth of blue dream. 60 bucks including tax. Prices are steep but it's a step above what you can get on the black market. The extra money you pay is worth it to get the right strain for you. read more

Had a great experience here with Rachel G. It's a roomy and chill space and there was no line when I went. Rachel was helpful in going over their options for me as a first time visitor. Docked a star because I'd like to see better ingredients in the edibles. I got the irish cream chocolate bites and they're full of hydrogenated vegetable fat, whey - wish I'd known. read more

Best dispensary in Mass, hands down. Quick and efficient service with friendly budtenders and a wide variety of product. Will always return.

Needed medicinal shrubbery and found a place that was great clean, fast, great products and Lily rocks! Thank yall

This Facility Is A Bit Of A Drive, But Honestly I Would Gladly Travel The Distance Any Day Of The Week. Haven't Tried Out My Purchase Yet, Although I Am Looking Forward To That As Well. I Had To Write This Review Beforehand. I Want To Give A Special Thank You To Lily! Thank You So Much For Being So Personable And Wonderful! Seriously! Life Isn't Always The Easiest, But With More People Like You, The World Would Certainly Be A Better Place For All. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Have A Wonderful Day! Have A Wonderful Week!! Have A Wonderful Life!!! Thank You Very Much!!!! read more

Love the store. Its fast yet efficient. Jordan M was my cashier and he was just super sweet and helpful. Everyone seems professional and always in good spirits. read more

First time I've ever been left class early I go to school nearby and caught it at the most perfect time ! The parking was a breeze on a weekday and the line absolutely flew by. The guy that helped me was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable he really pointed me in the right direction and made me feel comfortable to come back . Great products the bud was wonderful quality exactly what I asked for! read more

favorite dispensary to date in new england... worth the extra drive for the wide selection and awesome staff! shout out to Ellen who helped me with a vape alternative on her birthday! thanks to the NEA team for always making my cannabis experience a great one. read more

So I've been going to Northeast Alternatives about 3-4 times a week since they opened. Love love Rich, Paul (out front) who is always eager and waiting with a wheelchair for my husband who had an accident. Marisol is awesome as is most of the staff! I am also a Hospice Nurse and buy what I consider a substantial amount of product weekly for both myself and those I serve. I have noticed that on a few occasions when I asked for a gram of "sour tsunami shatter $70.00 " and a gram of "wax" $60.00. and ended up walking out with four half grams each at ten dollars more a pop plus tax. I called NE and spoke with a woman who was nice at first but got a little testy when I said this was like the fifth time this has happened to me? She promised that "Kevin" the manager would get back to me ASAP, but never ever did. She also checked for me and stated that there was plenty of sour tsunami grams and wax grams for sale? I said that I feel " ripped off." Especially since I buy in bulk it would seem silly to purchase it in 1/2 grams that also doesn't make sense for a worker to give you something knowing that your bill will be more? I questioned it twice once with a cute little Chinese Asian girl (who seemed completely baked while at work) and a darker complexion girl with long hair piercings and tattoos, (who also seemed stoned ). She assured me I was o.k. I drive home and again 1/2 grams call again. I'm promised a call from Kevin, nothing.... I really love the place and the vibe is awesome, but business is business and bullshitting people is not cool. The manager should always get back at least to show respect for their customers and the money that they spend. I think NE is gotten so big, made so much that they just don't care. Who can you report them too? I like my weed too but I'm not so stoned at work that I overcharge and make the same mistakes again and again..... read more

Medical review; As a medical patient in Massachusetts I have been to several medical dispensaries as well as combined med/rec dispensaries, Northeast Alternatives was probably the most unorganized and unprofessional towards medical patients. You have to wait in a separate line outside while all the rec customers get in and out of the tent setups in about 5 minutes. Once they finally let you into the building you're guided to the back area which is basically a repurposed closet ( forget about social distancing inside ). I will say the only thing this place had going for it was the bud tender I had,I believe her name was Hannah, she was very professional and helped me out with everything and made sure my order was perfect! Thanks to her and the decent flower I don't completely hate this place. Please prioritize medical patients like 98% of other dispensaries do around here, ( good deals but messy setup ). This was a very very busy place and it seems it's directed towards making as much money from their HUGE recreational crowd not the medical patients who have a doctor recommendation to come buy medicine. Please bring the flower and concentrate selection from the rec side to medical also, kinda get shafted on strains compared to people coming to just get High. I may or may not return. read more

went in there and was told the previous night i was going to be able to use my CA med card and purchase as a patient and was immeaditaley told i cant use it. I was already upset based off of that then when i get in there i ask to look at the jackxC99 live resin, come to find out all of their concentrates are sealed and the budtender didnt want to open the package so i could see the product i then told him i would not buy any product i cant look at. so after this i askto look at their best sativa,indica,and hybrid flower i decided i was going to try the golden goat until my budtender couldnt tell me which plants they were crossed with or who grew it. all in all i will not go back here unless better chNges are made hire budtenders whi know more than the thc content of the bud and hire people who actuallly know and care about marijuanaa worst dispensary i have been to by far if you are a patient avoid this place and let the rec users go there greenleaf is 15 minutes away with people who really know what they are talking about. read more
