not sure why there’s so many bad reviews of this place. my partner and i have been going since they opened and they are amazingly wonderful. the bud tenders make great conversation, their strains smell amazing (blueberry muffin is to die for). great tastes. everything is worth the price, which is way more reasonable here than other dispensaries. their website needs some work but they are new and growing. give this place a chance, i think they’ll surprise you – Rory F
Picked up a half ounce of the Blueberry and was pleasantly surprised. The scent was great, and the buds looked decent—slightly brownish but still well-formed, with a bit of sugar trim left on for good measure. At around $100, it’s a solid deal. This will definitely be my go-to spot for flower. I also appreciate that they display their product openly instead of keeping it hidden in opaque jars, making it easy to see the quality before purchasing. – joshua Myers
Stopped in for the first time today to see what they're all about. Was not sure they were even open as I was the only customer there when I arrived around 2pm. Very sparse, bare bones set up, which is not a bad thing at all. In total, they offer approximately a half dozen strains at the moment, and those strains are sold in weights starting at 1/8oz, up to an ounce. The guys behind the counter were extremely down-to-earth and knowledgeable. And they should be, as they are the growers of what they sell. This is the first micro dispensary in the Rochester area, meaning what they sell they grow themselves. The cuts out the mark up that other dispensaries factor into their costs as there is no middle man. Overall, I got a much better, more genuine vibe than I do from the other dispensaries in the area, which seem to be more out for your money than to sell a quality, reasonably priced product. – Matt Jarvie
Got 2 eighths yesterday, diesel berry and blueberry muffin. First impression: they’re dried out and stale. $69 out the door and my bags were packaged 1/10/25 with no hydration pack – obviously 3 weeks of sitting in a plastic bag will ruin the quality. Nose was kinda hay-esque and nothing special from the effects. The employees were nice so I can’t rip the business too hard but I really recommend and hope you guys add in boveda packs or some form of hydration pack in the future especially of you’re charging $35 an eighth. – Kole Cannon
Nice change of pace from other dispensaries, feels less corporate and more friendly, and about half the price. The bud has a nice texture and smoke. I find most of the flower at other dispos crumbles into dust and burns very quickly, probably dried out from being in storage. Not the case with Roc, the bud structure and effects remind me of my own living soil home grow. Probably no coincidence they're selling their own stuff so they're invested in quality and freshness. I'd strongly recommend going a little further down the street from Rise to support these guys. – Shawn
