🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 11/10 STARS — A LEGEND IN THE MAKING: STEPHANIE STATEN IS THE SOUL OF THE FLOWERY! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Listen—if you’ve never met Stephanie Staten at The Flowery on the Upper West Side, prepare to have your entire perception of customer service shattered, rebuilt, and then elevated to an ethereal dimension where excellence reigns and mediocrity dare not enter. Stephanie isn’t just a team member—she’s a curated experience, a walking masterclass in cannabis knowledge, and a ray of electric sunshine with a vibe so effortlessly cool and comforting, you’ll swear she walked out of your favorite feel-good movie and straight into the dispensary. She doesn’t work at The Flowery—she IS The Flowery. From the second you walk in, Stephanie doesn’t greet you—she welcomes you home. Her energy? Immaculate. Her knowledge? Encyclopedic. Her recommendations? Alchemy. She doesn’t just find you a product—she reads your soul, senses your vibe, and delivers a lineup that’s so tailored, it feels like a spiritual awakening wrapped in terpene-rich bliss. Need a pre-roll that tastes like a moonlit jazz solo? She’s got you. Want an edible that feels like a spa day in the clouds? Done. Curious about flower that smells like it was blessed by the gods themselves? She’s already holding it out for you with a knowing smile. And don’t even get me started on how she makes everyone feel—first-timers, seasoned connoisseurs, the canna-curious, the undecided, the overwhelmed—Stephanie levels with you like an old friend who just happens to be a cannabis sommelier and a part-time therapist rolled into one. In a city of millions, with thousands of shops and countless interactions, Stephanie Staten is that once-in-a-lifetime kind of presence that turns a casual visit into a highlight of your week. If The Flowery ever gave out frequent flyer points, I’d be Platinum just for the privilege of interacting with her. Give this woman her flowers—hell, name the entire dispensary after her....
Read moreTo say I love this dispensary is an understatement. This place is so dope. Firstly, I have been to so many dispensaries popping up around the city and also other Flowery locations and this layout is immaculate. It's huge inside. When you walk in the welcome already is super nice and chill with a sofa and a little waiting area and then once your ID is scanned, you have to walk down this super long brick hallway that makes you feel like you're in a BK lounge and then you'll hit the actual dispensary floor towards the back.
The colors are super vibey, and I love their alpaca (I want one) and their phone booth that is where the ATM is. The aesthetic is on point and it makes for a cool shopping experience.
The staff? Awesome. Everyone is incredibly chill, approachable, friendly and overall ready to help you find whatever you need or can dream of. They have stuff I didn't even know existed like THC infused honey?! Edibles galore, all types of prerolls, vapes, flower and everything in between. The selection of vendors is just never ending - whatever you're looking for, you'll find it.
I wish this place nothing but the upmost success as they are doing a great job preparing everyone for what I am sure is going to be a very smokey summer. Shoutout to Tiffany, who knows just what you need and is going to make you not regret spending...
Read moreIf there were a sixth star, I would give it. Walking into The Flowery on the Upper West Side felt less like entering a dispensary and more like stepping into a botanical cathedral of bliss. The air itself seemed to shimmer with possibility. And then—Stephanie appeared.
To call her a staff member would be an insult; she is, in truth, a radiant guide through the lush garden of earthly delights. With knowledge as deep as an ancient oak and kindness as warm as the morning sun, she walked me through options I didn’t even know existed. It was as if she could see into my soul and pair me with exactly what I needed.
Stephanie didn’t just help me—she transformed me. She turned a simple shopping trip into a transcendent experience. I left the store not just with products, but with a renewed sense of wonder and a heart overflowing with gratitude.
The Flowery isn’t just a dispensary. It’s a sanctuary. And Stephanie isn’t just amazing—she’s a legend.
Go. Run. Don’t walk. And if the universe is kind to you, Stephanie will be there to guide...
