Your Gowanus Brooklyn Cannabis Dispensary: Yerba Buena

Working or hanging out in Gowanus and looking for a licensed dispensary? Yerba Buena in Cobble Hill is your closest neighborhood cannabis boutique—just a 10-minute walk from the canal.

Gowanus is Brooklyn’s creative industrial heart—artist studios, breweries, and a community that values authenticity over pretense. At Yerba Buena, we get it. We’re a family-owned boutique dispensary with a curated selection that prioritizes quality over quantity, just like the neighborhood you love.

Why Gowanus Creatives Choose Yerba Buena

Gowanus attracts makers, artists, and independent thinkers. Yerba Buena is built on the same values. We’re a minority-owned, women-owned, family-operated Brooklyn business—not a corporate chain or a faceless operation.

Our budtenders are knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping you find the right product—whether you’re looking to spark creativity, unwind after a long studio session, or just enjoy a relaxed evening.
