Ithaca is home to a growing number of cannabis dispensaries, and many of them proudly stock products from local growers. But here's the real treat: several of these spots are just a stone's throw away from some great local bakeries, a munchie match made in heaven!
We’ve paired a few of our favorite dispensaries with nearby bakeries so you can snack happily.
William Jane Dispensary + Collegetown Bagels
William Jane Dispensary is nestled right in the heart of the Ithaca Commons, making it a super convenient stop for all your cannabis needs. The space is open, welcoming, and stocked with a wide variety of products—many of which come from growers right here in Ithaca and nearby towns.
Once you’ve found your perfect pick, take a short 4-minute stroll over to Collegetown Bagels on E. State Street. This beloved local spot has everything from fresh bagels and pastries to coffee and sandwiches, all served in a cozy, vibey space that’s perfect for kicking back and enjoying the moment.
Aspire + Gimme Coffee
Aspire offers a laid-back, boutique-style shopping experience with the added convenience of online pickup—perfect for when you’re on the go. They’ve got a strong focus on community too, featuring a variety of locally grown products on their shelves. Check out their website for a list of all the local growers.
Located on N. Fulton Street, Aspire is easy to get to—and even easier to love. After your visit, take a chill 7-minute walk to the State Street location of Gimme Coffee. This cozy neighborhood spot serves up locally roasted coffee, organic teas, and tasty pastries. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a little post-dispensary pick-me-up.
The Highly Connected Dispensary + Wide Awake Bakery
The Highly Connected Dispensary, located in what was “The Piggery” building, is the perfect spot for good vibes and quality cannabis products. The products here are thoughtfully curated and hand-picked by the founder, so you know you’re getting something special every time you stop by.
After you have gotten your goods from there, walk right next door to Wide Awake Bakery. Freshly baked bread, tasty local drinks, and a selection of goods from nearby makers? Yes, please. Grab a loaf, snag some local honey from Honeybee Embassy, and maybe treat yourself to a fresh bouquet from Jenny Creek Flowers. Sounds like the perfect day to us.
