The worst smelling, smoking and tasting bud I have ever experienced. They have prices for nug ranging from $35-$50. It’s just not it. It should be for $15 or free. I cannot explain the smell it’s just plain awful. It smokes as if it was made out of hair. My first joint, 3rd pull, I was actively throwing up. This should not be a smoke shop, should strictly be smoking products. It’s such a sham. Don’t waste your time or money here. There is a shop 2 minutes down the road right next to Harriman Square Deli. He keeps ALL prices at $40 straight. Every single strain I have got from this guy next to the deli is top tier. And his shop isn’t blacked out so you don’t feel as if he’s hiding dirt or about to rob you. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AT ESSENTIALS. GO TO ELEMENT EARTH. THIS SHOP IS TRASH TRASH TRASH. NASTY BUD. AND THEY PLAY WITH THEIR PRICES.

Essentials is hands down my favorite spot. Every time I walk in, I feel right at home—the staff is friendly and really knows their stuff. They’ve got such a great selection, and I always end up finding exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Whether I’m grabbing my usual or trying something new, I know I’m in good hands here. Can’t recommend them enough!

I love everything about this shop! The atmosphere, the hospitality; the large variety of anything you could possibly want. The owner and co workers were extremely knowledgeable of all products in the store. They definitely gained a customer for life. Can’t wait to go back and I just left 💚

03/27/2025 Just stopped by, got 3 things for $17 each. Totals 51. Somehow git charged 60. And the worker refused to give me my receipt. Wonder where the other $8 went.

I recently visited Essentials CBD & Smoke Shop, and I was incredibly impressed! The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. I highly recommend Essentials. Trust me when I say. Do NOT WASTE YOUR time WITH any of their competitors. There is no comparison!
