The most beautiful coffee shops
FLAGSHIP – While hemp consumption has been gradually legalised in Canada and fifteen US states, cannabis dispensaries and coffee shops are springing up like mushrooms on the American continent.
And if the « cannabis club » has long been associated with the old baba-cool shackles, contemporary labels are disrupting its image. Alchemy, Standard Dose, Superette… The new weed-pothicaries are pushing back the aesthetic codes of cannabis through addresses, each more chic and sophisticated than the last. Here’s a demonstration.
Alchemy, Toronto

Sinuous and sharp shapes, warm and cold tones, touch screens and plants to be consumed... The clash of materials and colours orchestrated by Studio Paolo Ferrari for this cannabis dispensary transports visitors into a futuristic apothecary. A singular way to merge therapeutic medicine and technology.

Who says coffee shop and glamor don't go together? Certainly not Standard Dose. Located in New York's NoMad district, the CBD brand has dusted off the cannabis dispensary with a delicate and sensitive aesthetic. Meditation space, tea bar, beauty counter, takeaway products... The perfect address to escape to.

When the dispensary is rethought through the lens of the LGBTQ+ community. At Green Qween in Los Angeles, the coffee shop is transformed into a queer-friendly flagship disco. In addition to raising funds for those in need, the shop, finely decorated by SevenPoint Interiors, gives a second life to an old 1930s Art Deco building.

Superette, Toronto
Grocery Store Dispensary in Toronto by Emily Robin
This is not a food store. Emily Robin, the interior designer behind this different kind of cannabis dispensary, envisioned The Annex in Toronto as a playful, welcoming deli where you can pick up your cheese, charcuterie, and wine, except instead, boxes of hemp are offered for sale.

Canoë, Toronto

Located throughout Ontario, Canoe shops are inspired by their surroundings to reflect their neighbourhood and extend the idea of public space. Canadian architectural firm Williamson Williamson used brick, the building material of nearby Victorian homes, as the cornerstone of the interior design of this new coffee shop on Queen Street East.

Also in Toronto, the brand specialising in the marketing of Edition hemp democratises the luxury dispensary with its sober and minimalist codes. For the label's second flagship in Midtown's St Clair West district, StudioAC installed industrial grills in every corner of the address to make the products unique.
