The best dispensaries in Burlington, VT
Burlington has 12 licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries — more than any other city in Vermont. Instead of a fake ranking, we've sorted them by what each one genuinely does best: latest hours, Vermont-grown craft flower, local and minority ownership, Church Street walk-ins, and boutique experiences. Every shop's “open now” status below updates live.
How we chose
An honest guide, not a paid ranking
Most “best dispensary” lists are either pay-to-play or a wall of invented five-star ratings. This one is neither. Every pick below comes from objective, checkable facts — published store hours, verified shop features, and Vermont Cannabis Control Board license status — so it stays accurate as shops change and there's no way to buy your way onto it. Where we run clearly-labeled sponsorships, we keep them off pages like this.
Because Vermont hasn't legalized adult-use delivery yet, the practical play is to browse a shop's online menu, reserve, and pick up in store. Nearly every Burlington shop supports that — the tags on each card tell you which.
