Starlife Dispensary is at 1 Hall Avenue in White Plains. It was founded by four lifelong friends from Mamaroneck, Anthony, Ray, Michael and Steve. The shop's website says the idea for a dispensary started about 25 years ago on the basketball courts where they grew up. Today the business is known in Westchester for two things: long hours, and a delivery service with published minimums for each town in the county. This review is based on Starlife's own website, its state license record and press coverage. High Today hasn't visited the store.
Four friends from the Mamaroneck courts
Starlife's founder story is local. The four owners grew up in Mamaroneck and in Westchester's parks, and they've known each other for more than 25 years. Their stated mission is to provide "honest cannabis education to Westchester County." The website backs that up with a blog and a guide for first visits.
The shop holds a general adult-use retail license, OCM-RETL-24-000159, issued in 2024. That's not a CAURD equity license. It came from the broader licensing round that followed CAURD. Starlife appears on the state's dispensary verification list at 1 Hall Avenue.
Delivery minimums, town by town
Starlife's delivery page is one of the clearest in the county. There's no separate delivery fee. Instead, each town has a minimum order:
- $20: White Plains
- $50: Scarsdale, Bronxville, Edgemont, Hartsdale (Greenburgh) and Valhalla
- $75: Harrison, Mamaroneck, Rye, Rye Brook, Port Chester, New Rochelle, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Tuckahoe, Mount Pleasant and others
- $100: Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Hastings-on-Hudson, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Pleasantville and Armonk
- $125–$150: Chappaqua and Briarcliff Manor ($125); Ossining and Bedford ($150)
- $200: Katonah, Lewisboro, Croton-Harmon, Yorktown and Somers
Couriers go out from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday. You can pay by debit card at checkout or cash on delivery. Orders arrive in sealed, unmarked packaging with real-time tracking, according to the site. In total, the company says it covers more than 30 Westchester communities. That reach is the main reason the headline calls it a countywide service. If you're just short of your town's threshold, a low-cost item like a single pre-roll is usually the cheapest way to reach it.
How the delivery map shapes the order
The tiered minimums make sense once you see where the stores are. A $20 minimum in White Plains means a single pre-roll can be delivered locally. A $200 minimum in Yorktown or Somers reflects the long drive from Hall Avenue. For northern Westchester shoppers below that threshold, picking up in person on a trip to White Plains will often be cheaper than padding an order.
Starlife's minimums are also published differently from nearby competitors. Toke, on McLean Avenue in Yonkers, uses one $75 minimum with free delivery over $150 in its home cities. Nuna Harvest in Mount Vernon lists delivery across Westchester, the Bronx and Manhattan without a town-by-town chart. Starlife's $100 minimum for Yonkers and Mount Vernon means shoppers in those cities may find a local store's delivery cheaper. For Scarsdale, Hartsdale or Valhalla, Starlife's $50 minimum is hard to beat.
Brands named on the site
Starlife's website names several brands it stocks: Nyce, Fernway, Shine, Smokiez, Incredibles and Out East Canna. A March 2025 trade announcement added Silly Nice to the shelves as well, covering its 510-thread vapes, Diamond Powder and Bubble Hash. Categories on the menu include flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, vaporizers, beverages, tinctures, topicals and accessories.
Fernway is a cartridge brand and Smokiez and Incredibles are edible brands, so Starlife's selection leans toward vapes and gummies as much as flower. Our New York vape guide explains the difference between live resin and distillate carts. If strain labels confuse you, our explainer on indica, sativa and hybrid explains what those labels actually tell you.
Parking at 1 Hall Avenue
Downtown White Plains parking can be tight, so Starlife's setup helps. The website mentions free 15-minute parking in a rear driveway for quick pickups. A 2025 brand announcement also mentions parking in front of the building and a municipal lot behind it. White Plains is Westchester's county seat and a major Metro-North stop. Drivers coming from I-287 or the Bronx River Parkway will find the store easy to reach. Train riders can walk from the White Plains station, though for heavy bags or bad weather a pickup by car or delivery is easier.
Deals, loyalty and the long weekend hours
Starlife's in-store hours are among the latest in central Westchester, according to its website: 8 a.m.–10 p.m. Mon–Thu and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The phone number is (914) 370-2942.
The shop has a loyalty program and rotating deals that it says go up to 30% off. It also runs promotions now and then. At the time of writing (October 2026), the site was advertising a New York Jets ticket giveaway for purchases of $60 or more. These change often. Our guide to saving at New York dispensaries explains how to combine loyalty points with drop-day deals. High Today's deals page lists current offers across Westchester.
The shop's site says it has more than 1,200 Google reviews with an overall rating of about five stars. One review quoted in a press piece praises the staff for the education they give. A rating that high over that many reviews points to consistent service. Staff advice is the common thread in the reviews we could see. New buyers who want help choosing should go on a weekday morning, when a store that opens at 8 a.m. is likely to be quieter than on a Friday night.
White Plains' crowded field
White Plains has more licensed shops than most Westchester cities. The state's verification list includes Etain at 75 Mamaroneck Avenue, Purple Owl Dispensary at 405 Mamaroneck Avenue, Leafology Cannabis Company at 244 Main Street, Cannabis Realm NY at 475 Central Avenue and NY FLOS at 45 Aqueduct Road. Etain started as a medical operator, and it still serves certified patients alongside adult shoppers. Purple Owl and Leafology are downtown independents.
Starlife stands out for its local founders, hours past 10 p.m. most nights and delivery minimums that are posted clearly. For Westchester shoppers comparing stores, the High Today dispensary directory maps them all. Current menus and delivery ordering are on the official Starlife Dispensary website.
Best fit: central Westchester delivery customers
Starlife suits central Westchester residents who want delivery with posted minimums and no surprise fees, commuters who need a store open until 10 or 11 p.m., and shoppers who mostly buy vapes and edibles from well-known New York brands.
