Every Zen Leaf location I go to is phenomenal, and this one is no different. Everyone at this location was super friendly and professional, but I especially wanted to give a shout-out to Jordan who helped me through chat on the website! I had never used a vape before and had a ton of questions, and he was extremely helpful in navigating me through the different kinds of batteries and cartridges. He even put together and submitted an order for me, and was so friendly the whole time that it felt like I was texting a friend. Sadly, I had to cancel the order because I momentarily misplaced my ID, but I took all of his recommendations over to the Highland Park location and was not disappointed!Thank you guys for always being awesome! (:

Verano(Parent of Zen) is union busting this location. The employees voted to unionize. They had their chairs taken, certain deals they had became null and void. They threaten the workers. When you shop here, remember this isn't a mom and pop owned place. This is a billion dollar company. They give $$$ to GOP causes. They don't want to offer benefits, health insurance, protections, equality. I am not saying to stop shopping here. Every dollar they take in is blood money though. I know a complaint has been filed and the investigation is nearing its end ✌️

Joshua was great! He made some great suggestions when some of the products I wanted were out of stock. He had a great personality, and was very knowledgeable about everything.Also, I absolutely love this location. Such a step up from the old location.

This place is just awful all around....I will no longer spend $ here. There are other dispensaries in the area to be loyal to. BTW, I'm a med patient, and have been for 4 years, before recreational use was legal. I miss Elevele! So easy and never a problem.

Jose was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He took time to help me find the best product for me. Terrific customer service — Jose is one of the reasons I buy from this location. Keep up the great work.

Tony has the best Customer Service. He xplained the products in depth to me when asked, took time with me and wasn't pushy. After 2020, a lot stores employees are lacking his work ethic. I would recommend anyone going here to work with him if you're having questions about what to purchase. Thanks again Tony, you are one of a kind.

Today's experience with "L" was fair. She tried to do her best but was a bit scatterbrained. Not sure if that was because there were numerous supervisors watching what she was doing or what.. Also, when she was about to give me change the customer at the counter over asked her about her eyeshadow and at that point L was unable to concentrate and continued to converse with the other patron. Which was annoying since I just wanted to leave. Also, I was a bit displeased that the product that I purchased was not in the same container as showed in the photo on the website. I voiced my displeasure and tried to get the house to comp me an empty jar but the supervisor wasn't having it.

20 out of 5 every time I'm here and visit not only is the staff kind but they're very Earnest very intelligible it never ceases to amaze me. And the reason I give such an exuberant ranking is not only was this the person that met me in and check me in at the window but he followed full procedures and as an ex sales manager for radio shack I believe in the procedures with checking my ID even at the counter even though he just checked me into the store he was very kind funny kept pace with the conversation I was bringing and very helpful in the transaction getting me in and out of the store in a matter of a few minutes even though he had to move from the checking area to the register he still managed to get me out in a few minutes so I give him a 20 out of 5. I've been coming to The dispensary for about 4 and 1/2 months I have to drive from nearly Wisconsin to get there and the help that they deliver and the product quality can't be argued with especially with the kind and intelligible people that they have placed working here.Today it was a very smooth day with them as they still have exemplary standards and all staff are always amiable and very pleasant people that know their business and follow procedures. Frankie and the staff pleasant were all very nice and I was in and out in minutes.

When I called the store # and got a salesperson in another State. She was recommending products and put them on my cart then drove to the store in Highland Park. Got there and it was busy. Being new to CBD and other medicinal properties, I was recommended more expensive items saying that a few products recommended over the phone were as good as they're reviews. Feeling super rushed and stupid because I trusted people who know should educate first. I purchased item that made me more anxious and frustrated. To top it off THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH! So you are rushed over to a small ATM in the store and thrown bags and ignored me after paying he took another customer. They also push specialized doctors who are the "ones to educate a consumer, not the counter people". I threw at least $75 out the door because I was sold products that got me high. They would not accept returns once opened. BUYERS BEWARE!!! Don't trust them.

Joseph was the best! Great sense of humor, yet professional in his handling of me. Told me one of my choices, he really liked. He laughed even at my comments. I enjoyed my shopping experience with Joseph and would definitely visit with Joseph again.Must be a pleasant place to work at as everyone was all smiles. I’d enjoy working there.

Got to Zen Leaf excited for a $60 shake 1/4 oz (great deal) + $10 off thanks to my rewards points. Ask them to pull up my points. They respond with “We got a new points system.” I ask “So, you didn’t save my points that were going to get me $10 off today?” And they affirmed. Told them it was idiotic, and they offered me 10% off. $6

I have been to four Zen Leaf locations and while all are really good with zero complaints, this location is my favorite. All associates give me undivided attention and address my medical needs but some locations are less crowded/packed so i have a little more one on one time while discussing and choosing which type of medication i need during the time. My service dog also likes this place so much he asks for treats rather than be shy like he usually is, so that says something to me🤷. Give em a whirl, no disappoinment, guaranteed.

I have been going there for over 2 years and I must say everything has improved greatly from the Elevele days. Good selection of flower and staff always friendly-especially Robin. Curbside pickup always goes smoothly.

1636595725
Updated:Better when it was Elevele.....won't replace malfunctioning products beyond 14 days so don't buy anything you think you won't open in that time....doesn't replace product full of stems if grower does not approve and would not give me a discount they promised on future visit....Will still go when they have a deal otherwise.....nah

Service is great staff is friendly and knowledgeable but most of the flower, etc is not worth what it's being sold for. The growers are amateur at best but I could get past this if prices weren't so ridiculous. An 8th of blue dream is $55 without tax and it was awful. It's smelled and tasted like grass clippings. It literally wasn't fully matured yet and was picked too early as well. Most of their flower is dry. Like I said previously it's too expensive for mediocre bud. Grass roots and revolution is the best by far but still toomuch for what it's is not to mention the absolute ridiculous tax.but that's not the dispensaries fault at all.

First time at Zen Leaf, HIghland Park, and worked with Brendan who is extremely knowledgeable, patient, terrific at explaining. He took me through the different options and provided guidance on all the products, consumption tips and pricing options. Never felt rushed or that he was in a hurry. Experience at this dispensary was outstanding.Cannot recommend him more!

Great selection and products, only downside I have is that as a medical patient it's not noted online that when they have active deals and you take advantage of them that other discounts such as the veterans discount aren't able to be used as well. I placed a curbside order and when I asked why the price didn't adjust for the vet discount I was informed then and only then that with any sales or deals my vet discount was unable to be added on top, when every other dispensary gives both a sale (buy one get one a penny) plus the vet discount. Could've saved twenty dollars and time going to a different dispensary if known.Update***As of 9/30/21 they now phrase that the discount doesn't stack with others so I raised the review to a 4 star***

We were out-of-towners that wanted to pick up something for edibles and such. The customer service was real good. The clerk walked us through the merch(on a tablet) giving us suggestions on what is good. Parking is pretty easy(it's a busy street). Bring your ID. Hopefully they can take credit cards in the future.

Contacted them... zero aid.When it comes to trying to get the right products for a medical patient, it is so difficult, if not impossible, to get the medical needs that I require. I got a batch of Bedford Grow last month in April, of this year, and have still been waiting to get a refund for the product being overly dry and something that should've gone into quarantine or not even given out in the first place. I need to find a dispensary that is more willing to work with medical patients to get the necessary products for medical conditions and relief. Not to mention if you do want to try and get a replacement product, yeah, I don't even guarantee it because it can take up to you, if not more than five days, and there's no natural way of getting an email address to reach their help center. And when you try to talk to somebody, they will run you around every corner, so it's been excruciating.

As a first time visitor to the dispensary, I'd normally of given 5 stars because I did have a enjoying experience, however, I just sorta wish the rep guy was alittle more helpful, he was helpful don't get me wrong, but as a first time I wish they would have explained the difference, especially when I said I was a new Med Patient. But otherwise highly recommend this dispensary. You know ya boi will always be honest! 😜 This place will be my new go to spot. But I'll do my research ahead next time.

Zen Leaf bought out Elevele. Zen Leaf doesn't manage your data very well. Product recall on mold for Verano. Only Rise customers notified and Verano customers become surprised on Facebook. Verano has to accept they are selling medication to everyone, communication is important to everyone and integrity is EVERYTHING. Zen Leaf doesn't know the bar code to my order.

TAXES! Small location, good selection, however disorganized and crowded in appearance. Security were not very friendly, customer service was just okay in comparison to other dispensaries!We have visited this location twice. First trip was $162 in product, PLUS $48 in unexpected taxes! Second was $110 and $$37 in taxes, don't think we will be back here!Points program for discounts does not include taxed money. It's really a rip!

Make sure you don’t toss out receipt until you go through your purchase. I purchased a cart which was working just fine then after a few days it just stopped working. If I have known my cart would ruin, I wouldn’t have threw out my receipt. I made several calls to this location who stated they couldn’t do anything for me so I referred to Illinois Replacements who could only be contacted via email. It was such a horrible weeklong experience, I was misinformed not only by Zen Leaf, Zen Leaf’s online chat box but Illinois Damage as well. I was told my issue would be resolved but it wasn’t. Like they couldn’t afford to replace a measly $55.00?! Zen Leaf Highland Park supposedly couldn’t even find my purchase after I gave them my information. Horrible horrible experience, never coming back.

Fast service always, I've never had to wait. Staff is nice. My only disappointment is while they know their menu really well, that's it. I am literally shown where to find something, or I just go there myself, zero guidance,..except the menu, which I can do myself. It's sad to see the medical side, the education, disappearing, but I suppose it's inevitable. No beef Zen Leaf, I will still get my meds from you, but know that is probably what a lot customers experience and expect.

I really loved this place when it was Elevele. Ever since it changed to Zenleaf nothing is ever in stock and once you get a good vape you have to double up or you may never come across it again at this dispensary. The staff is extra friendly but they have no information on when they get a new shipment. I’ll be changing dispensaries soon.

I saw someone say below they never thought they would see the day that a Medical Dispensary in Illinois would turn away a medical patient. Well... I experienced the same exact thing. I was refused service as a Medical Patient and asked to leave the dispensary by Security without explanation. When I called back for explanation, they said since I showed up 15 minutes before closing time, they didn’t want to spend the time adding a new patient into their system.I had never been treated so poorly in a medical dispensary.I highly recommend not visiting this dispensary. Their staff are clearly not trained on basic customer service (let alone helping medical marijuana patients). Would give a 0 if I could.

Horrible dispensary, they do not care about new patients, staff is rude. I never thought I would come across a dispensary that will deny a registered Illinois Cannabis Patient access to medicine, but this dispesary did just that. I went immediately after to Rise in Mundelein and was welcomed with friendly arms and I got my medicine. If Rise is too far goto Greenhouse in Deerfield like 10 min away from Highland Park and they are great also. I will never go back to Elevele .

This place WAS great, USED to have great selection, employees are still nice but management is an absolute joke. I was givin the complete wrong product by mistake and when it came to my attention either management or the owner refused to let me return it and get my actual desired product. They decided to waste MY money over THEIR mistake which to me is a clear sign they don’t care what so ever about their patients, they only care about the money your bring to them or that they will find a way to take. Their management is a joke and if THEY mess up what you order believe me they will do nothing to make it right.
Lucas L.
1592658276
Awful prices, awful selection, 1 eighth per day limit per patient. Don’t waste your time. Your response doesn’t change anything. Patients have a 2 1/2 ounce limit for 14 days. That’s 20 eighths. I guess they just assumed that you were going to drive to the dispensary 20 days in a row, or they want you to go to other dispensaries and spend your money there. Either way, this place is trying to play it off as if it’s only one eighth per day because of the pandemic, when it’s clearly not. Look at other dispensaries such as NAC and you will see that their inventory is about five times as large, and there are no limits on how much you can purchase per day.
