Living in town makes this an awesome location to get high quality cannabis, concentrates, tinctures, and whatever else you can find. I have yet to meet a grumpy employee yet. They are very knowledgeable and are super willing to stay with you until you have all the answers you need.

First time visit on Sat. Very impressed. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Excellent quality medicine--tried the Girl Scout Cookies and Jack Herer. Little pricey, but competitive at $360/oz, and if you buy more, they discount the eighth and quarter prices. I like that they are not as upscale as NETA in Northampton--no fancy display cases, no hi-res TV screens with bud pics, etc. Also impressed with their choice of strains. GSC is one of my favorite hybrids, and the JH is an awesome sativa. Drove an hour, but the trip was worth it. Will def be back.

Very Efficient informative the atmosphere is really nice compared to other ones I’ve been to & the people here really know what they’re talking about. Definitely coming again.

One of my go-tos. Farm-to-table restaurant atmosphere. Staff is friendly and eager to help. Great CBD options if you're an MMJ patient. And CBD tincture in case you "green out". The honey sticks are awesome in a cup of chamomile tea before bed. One of the few dispos that carry Richard Simpson Oil.
CACC seems to focus on providing MMJ patient therapeutic options. More strains of indica than other local dispos.
I'm a concentrate guy so I haven't tried the flower.
Not so great: dark chocolates taste tart and "weird". Not as good as GR. Tincture potency can be hit or miss.
Love it here

So many complaints in the reviews about the prices. Get over it. its weed you can legally purchase that is tested in a lab. A little more goes into this product than what you bought from your local weedman in high school. With that being said I dont mind the prices and it helps that you are part of the voucher program. They also offer a points rewards program to help offset costs. They carry some of the best products in the area. Between Patriot, Cultivate, Temescal and other dispo's in this area Central Ave is my GoTo dispo. They also carry some Rythm brand products such as the famous BROWNIE SCOUT which is my personal favorite strain.
The atmosphere of Central Ave is what mainly keeps me coming back. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Always willing to help and to find out if they dont know. I cant say enough good things about this place :)

Not a bad first time experience. Had a few questions and felt like I was a burden asking them when it could have been more personal but overall good experience.
So long as Compassionate Care is standing I will never go ANYWHERE else! I've been a patient for almost 2 years and the care there is beyond compassionate. The employees are kind and very helpful as well as knowledgeable. From the security door to the cash register it's always a great experience. The service is very personal, the variety of medicine is vast and the atmosphere is friendl, calming and easygoing. 10 stars in my book!

U can get French King in Hudson at temescall wellness for $48 a 1/8th or if u have a FH they take 15% off making it only $41! Great deal for great flower that u guys charge $60 a 1/8th for?? Both places must get it for same price.? Ayer probably cheaper cause they buy a lot more?! So lower your prices cmon

not allot to chose from .staff was freindly. price was a bit high
I have very mixed feelings about Central Ave. They have a very welcoming atmosphere and staff, but their selection is less impressive once you've been to other dispensaries. I primarily use concentrates and was impressed by their selection, all of which is brought in from other dispensaries. Unfortunately, I soon realized everything they sell is marked-up around 20%. I don't expect them to charge the same price as the "manufacturer", but paying $48 instead of $35 for half a gram of rosin is just ridiculous and underhanded. This might be ethically defensible for recreational users, but this is my medicine, not my weekend buzz. In all, I would consider Central Ave to be a good starting point for locals, but one that is quickly outgrown once you figure what you like.

Hello I am so pleased every time I go to this place I feel like I’m at home safe and sound. I am disabled with an intellectual disability and they take really good care of me . They deserve number one medical dispensary in the world award. I couldn’t ask for another place better than this one . What great staff they have they really sincere on their work and take pride . So what’s stopping you come down to Central Avenue compassion care and see what it’s all about and Enjoy the wonderful experience. I highly recommend this medical dispensary.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I always enjoy the little chats with everyone when I visit. Great selection, great atmosphere.

This was my first time coming out to this dispensary and I was very disappointed with the way my appointment went. My actual appointment was at 4:00 and the doctor didn't call me into his office until a little after 4:10. After I spoke to him, I had no idea what was going to happen next. So I went out and sat down and the woman that checked me in came over to me and asked me for my order which I thought was weird. I was really hoping I would get to see the product before I went and purchased it. And as soon as I got home I checked my purchase out, and it didn't feel too fresh. So I checked out the label on the bottle and it said packaged date: 3/22/17. And my appointment was on 4/8/17..not a fan of prepackaged flower...I like to see it being weighed out in front of me to know I'm actually getting what I paid for. I'm VERY disappointed with Central Ave Compassionate Care. I would not recommend anyone going there, especially for their first time.
First time patient visiting and the doctor tells you you're getting a complimentary pre roll for being a new patient and the employee checking out my order never gives it to you...way to drop the ball guys!!

Overpriced low quality meds. Look elsewhere.

I’m writing another review based on my recent experience at Central Ave. I’ve always been a fan, but have been going to other dispensaries based on pricing and quality of particular vape cartridges.
First, I recently renewed my medical card and the deal they have for new and renewal patients is 20% off first visit then 4 coupons good for $50 off a $100 purchase (one per use).
Today I went back to get some of the new expansive vape menu. I was having an issue with a cartridge and I was given a new battery at no charge and a promise to fully replace the (unused) cartridge if the battery does work. Just a good customer service practice.

Very knowledgeable staff and great bud. Will be back! Thanks CACCI!

This is a great example of how a dispensary should be run in order to show the community that medical marijuana is not a thing to fear. CACCI is a very clean, pleasant business, with excellent quality products and a staff that never fails to make you feel comfortable and confident in decisions. The prices are a little high, but the selection of flower is awesome. Service is a quick and easy.
