Riverside Wellness

This is easily my favorite dispensary in the KC metro — and one of the few truly independent, locally owned shops still standing. In a market full of corporate chains, finding a place like this is rare. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in — it’s personal, community-driven, and built with care. The entire team here — from the friendly, professional security at the door to the knowledgeable, welcoming staff inside — creates an environment where you feel safe, supported, and valued. They take the time to understand what you’re looking for and help guide you to the right products — never just pushing something on you to make a quick sale. The experience is relaxed and never rushed, yet they move efficiently and respect your time — a balance that’s hard to find. The store itself is thoughtfully laid out with products clearly displayed (no racing through a digital screen), and you can smell many items before buying, which makes the experience that much better. The drive-thru option is also great — convenient and quick without sacrificing service. This is exactly what a dispensary should be: welcoming, community-focused, quality-driven, and proudly independent. I’ll keep supporting them every chance I get. – Erin

Very friendly staff and there's always a great deal going on. The drive thru is such an amazing time saver. You can place an order online and it'll be ready before you get there. – Keegan

I can't believe this place has any reviews less than 5 stars. This is absolutely the best dispensary in KC. I have never had a bad experience. Every bud tender and security officer I have encountered has been super cool. They have really competitive pricing and you can actually see some of the products and not just a picture. Bud tenders are always happy to let you smell a flower you might be interested in. I can't tell you what a difference this makes. It has helped me avoid some strains I know I wouldn't enjoy. They are also really helpful on problems. I won't say what happened or what the solution was, except to say that they totally rocked on fixing it. They went above and beyond anything I expected. Definitely try this place out, you won't be disappointed. – Some Guy
