Cannabis Dispensary Near Highland Park, NJ
Highland Park is the rare central-Jersey town where you can leave the car parked and walk to dinner, coffee, the farmers market, and the library. The one errand you can't quite walk to is a dispensary — so we made the drive a quick one. Cross the Raritan and you're at Unity Rd Somerset.
Order onlineFor a borough barely more than a mile and a half across, Highland Park packs a lot into Raritan Avenue: the indie storefronts, the long-running Saturday farmers market, the bike racks that actually get used, and a community that takes its tree canopy and green-leaning reputation seriously. It's a walking town through and through. But for everything you can stroll to, adult-use cannabis isn't on the list — the borough doesn't have its own recreational shop. The good news for anyone 21 and over: the nearest neighborhood dispensary sits just across the river in Somerset, close enough that it barely interrupts your day.
Getting here from the borough
Unity Rd Somerset is at 441 Elizabeth Ave, Ste 11, on the Franklin Township side of Somerset. From most of Highland Park, the quickest path is over the Landing Lane Bridge across the Raritan and a short run into Franklin — the same crossing that connects you to the Rutgers Cook/Douglass campus and the College Farm. You can also drop down Raritan Avenue, cross the Albany Street (Route 27) bridge through New Brunswick, and head out Easton Avenue. Place your order before you leave and we'll have it ready when you pull in.
Three easy ways to shop
Order online, skip the browse, and grab your bag from the express lane — quicker than circling for a spot on Raritan Avenue.

Walk in and let a budtender talk you through what's fresh this week — no rush, no upsell games.
Budtenders who actually talk you through it
Highland Park skews curious and community-minded — longtime residents, Rutgers faculty and grad students across the river, young families, and plenty of folks who'd rather understand what they're buying than be sold to. That's exactly how our budtenders work. New to all of this and a little unsure? Say so. Know the precise strain or format you want? Even better. Tell us how you like to feel and we'll point you toward flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, or concentrates — plain language, no pressure. The menu rotates with fresh drops and the daily deals shift through the week, so it's worth a quick look before you head over the bridge.
Highland Park questions, answered
What's the quickest way over from Highland Park?
Over the Landing Lane Bridge across the Raritan, then a short run through Franklin to 441 Elizabeth Ave, Ste 11 in Somerset. The Albany Street (Route 27) bridge through New Brunswick works too. Order ahead and your bag is waiting.
It's such a walkable town — is there a shop right in the borough?
You can walk to almost everything on Raritan Avenue, but the borough has no adult-use dispensary of its own. The nearest neighborhood shop is a short trip across the river in Somerset — or check unity-rd.com for delivery to your address.
Can I get cannabis delivered to Highland Park?
Yes, we offer delivery. Start an order at unity-rd.com to confirm whether your street is in the current delivery zone and to see the cutoff times. 21+ with valid government-issued ID required at handoff.
I'm a Rutgers grad student over 21 — what ID do I need?
A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID: driver's license, state ID, or passport. A Rutgers student ID does not count on its own. Out-of-state IDs are fine as long as they're valid and government-issued. We do not serve anyone under 21.
Is parking easier than on Raritan Avenue?
Yes. No hunting for a meter along Raritan Ave — our Elizabeth Avenue spot has a parking lot, so you pull in, grab your express-lane pickup, and head back over the bridge in minutes.
I'm new to this. Can someone help me choose?
Absolutely. Our budtenders walk first-timers and regulars through the rotating menu — edibles, pre-rolls, flower, vapes — with no jargon. Ask in store or call (732) 412-7210.
