Certain neighbourhoods like Kensington Market, which used to house a few discreet grey market shops prior to legalization in 2018, now have four cannabis shops just on one block. <\/p>\n<p>Queen West, St. Lawrence Market and Leslieville aren\u2019t much better and even beyond downtown, there\u2019s no shortage of dispensaries to be had.&nbsp;There are more than 300 legal retail weed stores in Toronto so far in 2022 and the number is only expected to grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the market is feeling saturated and finding a cannabis shop in TO\u2014one that you actually like and trust\u2014feels overwhelming. Luckily, Leafly has a network of passionate cannabis partakers who\u2019ve tried dozens of dispensaries and ranked their top picks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Scroll on for five of the best-rated weed dispensaries in Toronto.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>FIKA Local<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt class=\"wp-image-199015 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>(Courtesy of FIKA Local)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>1900 Eglinton Ave. E\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.ca\/dispensaries\/ontario\/toronto\">Toronto, ON<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2b50 \u2b50&nbsp;\u2b50&nbsp;\u2b50&nbsp;\u2b50&nbsp; 5 star rating (15 reviews)<\/p>\n<p>While FIKA Local\u2019s Eglinton Ave. shop is <em>technically<\/em> in Scarborough given that it\u2019s east of Vic Park, the Golden Mile location still makes our list for top Toronto cannabis dispensaries because it\u2019s quite literally steps from what\u2019s considered Toronto proper. <\/p>\n<p>Like other FIKA Local cannabis retail stores, this one has been outfitted with sleek interiors that immediately set the tone for a refined shopping experience. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a Vape Bar, which highlights all of the vape options, a Tuck Shop, which is the cooler full of infused drinks, and the flower is on display inside of magnified domes to inspect the bud.

One Leafly user describes the shop as having cottage country vibes and they\u2019re not wrong. <\/p>\n<p>Bonnefire also scores high for its stellar staff who are welcoming and friendly, and also have solid recommendations for anyone in need of advice or direction.<\/p>\n<h2>Tokyo Smoke<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" alt class=\"wp-image-199018 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.png,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.png,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.png,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/best-rated-dispensaries-in-toronto-1.png,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>(Courtesy of Tokyo Smoke)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>333 Yonge St.\u2014Toronto, ON<\/p>\n<p>\u2b50 \u2b50&nbsp;\u2b50&nbsp;\u2b50&nbsp;3.9 star rating (18 reviews)<\/p>\n<p>This Tokyo Smoke location at the corner of Yonge and Dundas, right above the Dundas subway stop, makes it a solid choice for commuters, shoppers at the neighbouring Eaton\u2019s Centre or residents in the area.

Still, the atmosphere couldn\u2019t be more different. The Hunny Pot has opted for a more modern design aesthetic with one customer comparing it to an Apple Store. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWalking into the Hunny Pot felt like I was in an Apple Store looking for an Iphone. The staff [are] so professional, everything is so orderly and comfy.

Today, The Hunny Pot has 17 locations across Southern Ontario, but this Queen St. location will always be special in that it was the city\u2019s first legal shop.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-selection-criteria-for-leafly-list\">Selection Criteria for Leafly List<\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\">\n<p>To calculate the highest-rated dispensaries in Toronto, our Leafly List team uses a methodology based on quantitative and qualitative review data of dispensaries listed on Leafly in Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This list also uses quality indicators, like customer reorder rates and deals availability (in markets where discounts are legal).
