Cannabis Realm of NY is not a single neighborhood shop. It's a small, locally owned dispensary group run by co-owners Eyasser Noboa and Jesus Fontanez, with stores in White Plains, Spring Valley (Rockland County) and Jamaica, Queens. The Queens store sits at 172-02 Hillside Avenue, and it brings the group's delivery-heavy playbook to one of the borough's busiest transit hubs.
A three-store group with a Queens outpost
The group's oldest store is in White Plains, where it opened under CAURD license OCM-CAURD-24-000046 in January 2024; the Spring Valley shop followed in August 2025. The Jamaica store's license is OCM-RETL-24-000244, issued in November 2024 to Comfort Care Services Inc., an entity OCM lists as woman-owned.
One transparency note: as of October 2026, OCM's public license dataset shows the Jamaica license as active but the location as "non-operational," with an amendment under review. That likely reflects a pending update to the license record rather than a closure — the shop's website lists it as open, and its Google listing shows hundreds of reviews — but it's worth knowing if you check the state's records yourself.
Leafly's profile for the group's White Plains store tags Cannabis Realm as Black- and Latinx-owned, and the company's About page frames it as a "locally owned New York dispensary group" focused on local hiring and education.
The group's Westchester roots
Cannabis Realm's playbook was built north of the city. Its White Plains store at 475 Central Avenue opened in January 2024 under a CAURD license held by Buddega NYC, LLC, making it one of the earlier licensed shops in Westchester. The company's site credits that store with more than 4,000 Google reviews — far more than the Queens location — and quotes faster delivery windows there (roughly 15–35 minutes) than in Queens. The Spring Valley store on Route 59 in Rockland followed in August 2025.
For Queens shoppers, the group structure matters mainly in two ways: a menu and deal system shared across stores, and delivery logistics refined in suburban markets before arriving in Jamaica.
Hillside Avenue between the 169th and 179th Street stops
The shop sits on Hillside Avenue in the heart of Jamaica, between the 169th Street and Jamaica–179th Street stations on the F line. The Jamaica Center transit hub, Rufus King Park and King Manor, the Jamaica Avenue shopping district and York College are all within a short walk or bus ride. The company's site notes the store has free parking and is wheelchair accessible — useful on a stretch of Hillside where street parking is tight.
Hours are among the longest in the neighborhood: doors open at 9 a.m. daily, closing at 10 p.m. from Sunday to Wednesday and 11 p.m. from Thursday to Saturday. The phone number is (718) 889-2073.
The delivery machine: 44 zones and a $99 threshold
Delivery is the group's calling card. Across its three stores, Cannabis Realm says it covers 148 delivery areas in six counties. From Jamaica, the site lists 44 zones across Queens and parts of Nassau, including Jamaica, Astoria, Flushing, Forest Hills, Jackson Heights, Bayside, Rego Park and Richmond Hill.
- Free delivery on orders over $99, with a fee below that.
- Same-day service; order by 8 p.m.
- Posted delivery windows of roughly 25–50 minutes from the Queens store, with faster times quoted for nearby Jamaica ZIP codes.
Paying: why delivery is cashless
Cannabis Realm handles payment differently depending on how you shop. Delivery and curbside orders are prepaid through AeroPay or CanPay, bank-linked payment apps common in cannabis retail. In store and for pickup, the shop accepts cash, debit, AeroPay and CanPay, and the company says ATMs are available at all its locations. Set up an app account before your first delivery order to avoid delays.
Before your first delivery order
- Set up AeroPay or CanPay first. Delivery orders are prepaid through one of the two apps, so link a bank account ahead of time.
- Order by 8 p.m. for same-day service.
- Aim for $99 if you want free delivery; smaller orders carry a fee.
- Have your ID ready at the door. Drivers verify that the recipient is 21 or older.
- Mind the daily cap. The company's site restates the state's daily ceiling on flower and concentrate purchases, and orders above it won't go through.
Staff picks and what's on the menu
The menu spans flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, beverages, tinctures, topicals, CBD and accessories. At the time of writing (October 2026), the store's Queens page was promoting staff picks including a Wizard Trees live resin vape at $57.49 and Grön hash rosin gummies at $24.49, with rotating promotions on brands such as A1 Ducksauce and Select. A directory listing describes the store's inventory as more than 2,000 SKUs.

What the reviews show
The company's site reports a 4.9-star Google rating across roughly 380 reviews for the Queens store. Recurring themes in public reviews include knowledgeable staff who tailor recommendations to a shopper's experience level, plus quick delivery. The rating is strong, but the review count is smaller than at the group's White Plains store, which has been open much longer.
Jamaica's growing field
Jamaica now has several licensed options within about a mile, per OCM records:
- Good Grades, at 162-03 Jamaica Ave — Queens' first licensed dispensary.
- Silk Road NYC, a CAURD shop at 166-30 Jamaica Ave.
- Nirvana Springs, which opened in July 2026 at 179-36 Hillside Ave, a few blocks east.
Cannabis Realm's edge over these neighbors is its delivery footprint and app-based convenience; Good Grades carries the borough's "first" title. Our borough-wide Queens dispensary rankings weigh all four, and High Today's dispensary directory maps every licensed option nearby.
How it compares on convenience
For many shoppers, the decision in Jamaica will come down to how they want to buy. If you prefer walking in with cash, the Jamaica Avenue shops a few blocks south are easy to reach from the E, J and Z trains and the LIRR. If you'd rather order from the couch in Bayside or Forest Hills and have it arrive within the hour, Cannabis Realm's delivery network is the more complete option in this part of Queens. Its free parking also sets it apart from the Jamaica Avenue storefronts.
Who it's best for
Delivery-first shoppers anywhere in central and eastern Queens, drivers who want a lot, late-night buyers from Thursday to Saturday, and anyone already using AeroPay or CanPay. Check live stock and the latest deals on Cannabis Realm's official site.
