Every neighborhood's legal cannabis market has a first mover, and in Bedford-Stuyvesant that title belongs to Bedford Club. Brooklyn Magazine called it "the first licensed dispensary in Bed-Stuy" in its April 2025 roundup of the borough's best legal shops, and the store's own website makes the same claim. It operates at 1102 Bedford Avenue under CAURD license OCM-CAURD-23-000095, the number printed on its site.
Bed-Stuy's first licensed counter
Being early meant Bedford Club opened when buying tested cannabis legally was still a novelty in the neighborhood. The shop says it was built after "two decades of dedication" and describes its focus as education and quality curation, with a goal of supplying Brooklyn "a quality NY high." Leafly's listing calls it Bed-Stuy's "proud cannabis dispensary" for both the canna-curious and seasoned consumers, and stresses that the inventory comes strictly from OCM-licensed New York producers.
Brooklyn Magazine described the space as cozy, with an exposed brick wall and shelves set up for browsing, and noted that staff were helpful in matching shoppers with products. The same piece flagged one practical issue: flower tends to sell quickly, so checking the online menu before heading over is sensible.
Checking the "growing across Brooklyn" story
Earlier descriptions of Bedford Club, including a previous version of this profile, said it had expanded into a small chain with stores in Crown Heights and Clinton Hill. We could not confirm that. At the time of writing (October 2026), Bedford Club's official website lists one address, 1102 Bedford Avenue, and its Leafly page does the same. If additional storefronts open, we will update this profile.
What the shop does offer across a wider area is delivery. Its website advertises local delivery with a coverage check at checkout, plus longer-distance delivery options handled through Leafly, so Brooklyn customers well beyond Bed-Stuy can order from the Bedford Avenue store.
A shelf of New York names and national ones
Bedford Club's menu covers flower (sortable by indica, sativa and hybrid), pre-rolls, vaporizers, edibles, wax and other concentrates, drinks, tinctures, topicals and accessories. Brooklyn Magazine singled out its large selection of vapes and edibles.
Brands shown on the shop's website and Leafly profile include Jaunty, Dank, 1906, Ruby, Pistol & Pistol, Rove, Heavy Hitters, Camino, Wyld, MFNY, Ayrloom and Florist Farms. That is a mix of national names and New York producers. For gummies, the weed measurements explainer is handy if you are sizing up flower in eighths or quarters.
Delivery thresholds and payment
Delivery terms vary by distance. Leafly listed a minimum order between $60 and $300 depending on location, with free delivery on orders of $120 or more, and delivery available until 10 p.m. at the time of writing. The shop's own site was advertising free delivery on a customer's first order.
Leafly lists store hours as 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday; confirm by calling (718) 744-0300, since older listings showed 10 p.m. closing every night. Cash and debit are accepted, an ATM is available inside, and Leafly marks the shop as ADA accessible. Leafly's small pool of reviews praises friendly service, variety and responsive support, including one account of a missed item delivered within about half an hour.
Bedford Club or Jungle Kingdom?
Bedford Club shares its 11216 ZIP code with Jungle Kingdom Flower at 515 Nostrand Avenue, so the two are natural rivals. Jungle Kingdom has two stores, tax-included pricing and a flat $50 delivery minimum anywhere in Brooklyn. Bedford Club has first-in-the-neighborhood history, a cozier single-room feel and a free first delivery, but higher delivery thresholds for farther addresses. Shoppers who mostly order in may lean toward Jungle Kingdom; regulars who like walking into a familiar neighborhood shop may prefer Bedford Club.

Before you buy
Doing the delivery math
Because Bedford Club's delivery terms depend on distance, a quick calculation helps. If your address falls in a zone with a minimum below $120, you'll pay a delivery charge until your cart reaches $120, at which point Leafly's listing says delivery becomes free. For farther addresses with higher minimums (Leafly showed a ceiling of $300), the minimum, not the fee, is the real hurdle. First-time customers should take advantage of the site's free first delivery, and anyone ordering flower should place the order early in the day, given Brooklyn Magazine's note that flower moves quickly.
Verifying a license number yourself
Bedford Club's website prints license OCM-CAURD-23-000095, while its Leafly page displays the same sequence with a "24" prefix. Discrepancies like that are common on third-party listings and are usually clerical, but they are a good reminder that New York's dispensary verification tool is the authoritative source. Searching the shop's name or address there will confirm whether it is an active licensed retailer. Licensed stores are also required to display OCM's verification QR sticker at the entrance, which you can scan with a phone camera before you buy.
Questions worth asking at the counter
A small shop with a fast-moving flower shelf rewards a few targeted questions. Ask when a jar or pouch was packaged and tested, since the test date on New York labels tells you how fresh the product is. Ask which items are from New York craft growers versus larger multistate brands, because Bedford Club stocks both. And if you are choosing between a vape and an edible for the first time, ask staff to walk through onset times; inhaled products act within minutes, while edibles can take an hour or more. Staff helpfulness is the theme Brooklyn Magazine highlighted most, so it is worth making use of.
Bedford Club's online menu groups flower by indica, sativa and hybrid. Those labels are a useful starting point, but terpene content and THC percentage often say more about how a product will feel, so read the full label when you can.
Bedford Club also collects email sign-ups for news and updates on its homepage, the simplest way to hear about restocks given how quickly flower turns over. It does not advertise a points-based loyalty program, so price-conscious regulars may want to compare its specials with nearby shops that do.
