    Infused (alcohol free) cocktail.
    Tanichea B.

    I went for a friend's birthday and we did paint and puff. The host was hilarious and fun, and I enjoyed the DJs music. The service was great too. You can buy infused food or desserts as well as flower, or you can bring your own. The infused food was tasty and I ended up buying a couple of cakes. My friend's painting won her a membership. Great night.

    If you are into infused food this is the perfect place. It is perfect for all consumers because you can curate the level of experience you would like to have. You can go from micro dosing to smacked. Not all of the food and drinks are infused. When I went we were a very mix group. I had a true stoner who got everything infused and smoked while there. I had a person who had nothing infused and equally loved her chicken sandwich. I had a friend who micro dosed and only had an infused drink. I myself had everything infused. All around the food is good. Infused or not in addition the infused food does not taste dank. There are several food options on the menu. Even the watermelon margarita was to die for. The margarita does not have alcohol but mines was infused. It tasted like fresh watermelon juice. So these are the reasons I personally love this place and have done take out from here as I well. For infused food this spot is top ranking for me. 1. The fact they have a garden with a retractable roof is everything. The air circulation is great. It does not feel stuffy. 2. You can take you uneated food to go. 3. The staff is very down to earth and the manager Nelson is very cool and welcoming. If you go you must take home some cookies. They are ALLLLLLL so damn good I have gone back just for them.

    Kakes NYC deserves 420 stars! (See what I did there?) From the start they are very professional and have a secure setup with security; which you will need sign the wavier and get padded down. Women will have their purses checked as well. They allow you to bring your own flower so you don't have to buy it there. When you first walk in you get a night room with tables and chairs. It has a chill coffee house vibe with an ordering window and the desserts they offer on display. The back section is more like a "garden room" with chairs, benches, tables, etc. There is even a DJ spinnin' a wide mix of rap and freestyle. No matter where you sit you'll have your very own "weed sommelier". Our server (believe her name was Natasha) was awesome! Very friendly, professional, and knew her stuff. Making suggestions, recommendations, and parings on all of the food and drinks. Now on to the grub! You can get infused and non-infused. No matter what. It is off the hook! Way above par, not what I was expecting! The ginger wings (non-infused) were cooked perfectly! Crispy but still tender and the sauce was so amazingly sticky and delicious. I almost didn't want to share! The pretzels and beer cheese (infused) was a reminder of something you'd get at a pub or brewery only with weed! The pretzels seemed to be fried and were crispy with a soft dough center. The cheese dip was on point. You couldn't taste any of the infusion. I believe it was the Sour Pickle drink (infused) all I can say is get it---just get it. If you're a fan of sour it's perfect. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The drink itself is light and smooth, rimmed with salt and sour. It is 100% worth the price. Kakes 100% lives up to the hype! I will be back!

    From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted. They carefully explained the menu and all the selections they had for dessert.

    It was my first time going to a place that had infused food. Don't get me wrong, this place is really nice. I came here for my birthday, and when you first arrive someone lets you know about how much THC is in the infused foods, what menu has non THC, and just a good introduction the restauraunt. The food with THC was overly expensive and none of my friends were buzzed from it, even though it tasted good. The only thing that gave us a little buzz were the desserts. It's cool that you're able to smoke freely in this place and also buy THC products in there. However, I just feel like I was expecting more of a high.

    If you partake and want to have a tasty meal while doing so this is the spot. Me and my crew of 8 had a blast here. We sat in the back lounge area and was very comfortable. The service from the doorman to our waitress was a plus no complaints. So this is not a meal where you are going to feel a strong effect, if any. Some part time puffers or light bodies said they felt something. The rest of us not so much. But everyone slept like new born puppies...lol but that's about it. We also ate very good so that could have also been the I-tis.lol The lobster rolls and shrimp tacos were very good. No one complained all was tasty. The drinks were also very good. Overall the experience was very good. The prices are a little high not to feel anything besides a good night's sleep lol

    So am a bit late..... well very late on writing this review.. so am hoping there still a wonder place to visit.. I went to Kakes with another couple. Wanted to try edible CBD don't tell no body . First, they do charge and entrance fee ( does not go towards your meal) $25 per person.. not my favorite thing to do, but I said why not, I'll try this place out. When you get there you have to register and submit your license, a bit annoying but understandable since everyone should be of legal age and for safety reasons. The host that registered us was great. He was super friendly and informative.. I was a little worried because I recall parting back in my day ( don't ask how old I am ) and people were able to smoke in the club... hated coming out smelling like an ashtray. Host told me not to worry they have a great rental system. He was not lying.. He walked us inside and explained the whole place to us. How to air circulation worked and the break down with the food and the CBD content in the dessert. The place was nicely decorated and the dessert were beautifully displayed.. He took us to our sits, which was outside, at the back of the restaurant.. well inside outside, it has a retracting glass roof which was cool.. The space was very cool, gave me grown forks lounge vibes.. they played really good music and there was a roller if you wanted to consume CBD the old fashion way . Waited came to us quickly and took our orders..love when waiters tend to me in an appropriate time of sitting. The food was fabulous.... I was pleasantly surprised, you could not taste the CBD in any of the food.. They did have non-infuse items on the menu for people that chose not to partake in CBD consumption. The menu was so tempting I wanted to order everything, but I settled for trying my others friends picks.. I got a drink called beauty and the beast, which was the cutest set up.. A rose cup infused in a vest covered plate, yes it was like a bong ( you only live once) but once you had enough or was done you just lifted the vest and all the smoke evaporated.. Be aware, they don't serve drinks with alcohol, just mock tails. When we were finishing, the host or maybe owner came out and bought us dessert on the house. They were all infused and delicious.. nothing better than a dessert that will not only hit your sweet teeth but give you a nice biz. Please be aware, when you ingest infuse food, you will not feel the effects for at least an hour. You should definitely go to this place in an Uber so you do not need to drive yourself home. I would definitely go back to this place, the food will have you go to many places with out leaving your sit

    Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly at the door. The ambiance is that of an old school, high end speak-easy. Dimly lit with open seating. About once an hour they opened the retractable roof to let the smoke out. Their air filtration system must be on point, because there isn't a heavy lingering cannabis fog. The food was tasty and infused but not over the top, so you can enjoy yourself without over indulging. The DJ kept the music upbeat, and they had a rolling specialist making blunts like a hibachi chef up front. This would be a five star lounge with or without the sacred herb. I had a great time.

    This is a super late review but a review that must be done better late than never. I joined for a company outing and was impressed by the professionalism, ambience, and food. There is a bouncer in the front to ensure everyone's safety. The hostess greets and seats you. The front portion is more a chill lounge/bar vibe where you can enjoy a conversation. The back portion has a dj in a huge room with couch seatings in the middle for a big group (we were the big group that night). The food had a nice gourmet like presentation and more importantly tasted delicious! The drinks presentation was fun! One of the drinks was like a contained single rose in a beauty and the beast vibe. How creative! Loved this idea. NYC has elevated the industry and I'm glad to be here to experience all of it 10/10 I do recommend!

    This is one of my favorite spots I go in New York. Every time I come up and visit. The customer service is amazing. It gets very busy especially on the weekend. I typically do the late dinner slot and stay till they close. The food is amazing! I have been at least 3-4 times and they have not missed a beat yet. My go to is the Mac and cheese. My friends had the burger and vegan tacos and I even tried the guacamole which was amazing! While the drinks don't have alcohol in them, they are delicious! I typically sit in the back near the dj booth because I love h to e energy of the back. There's a front area as well for a more chill vibe. The pace is very clean and they price Ty themselves in customer service.

    First time here and everything was explained to us upon entry of the place. I met with Nelson while I was waiting for my party and he was one real cool dude. Now the food, we had party cake, quesadillas, Mac and cheese and chopped cheese. Everything was delicious and worth the price. You may not feel it right away but when you stand up?!! Yeah! We sat outside which was open space with patio furniture, a roller that will roll your weed, the dj was doing his thing last night. The vibe was a real chill one and I would definitely return and bring more friends. Y'all ladies go check Nelson' fine ass out!!

    I went here to watch a fight. I truly enjoyed myself. The service is great. The food comes out very quick . The set up was spacious enough to want to rent out for a private event. I enjoyed the pre rolls & the mock tails. I'm definitely considering a membership.

    I came here for a pre-bday celebration and I'm glad I did. The experience was 10/10. HIGHLY recommended. The staff was extremely professional from the security at entry, to the hostess/manager who gave us a tour and our server was stupendous. You can tell that every detail of the decor was well thought out and executed. Now the food, amazing! Seasoned to perfection. They offer infused and non infused options. Everything was absolutely delicious: from the cocktails, to the various food options on the menu (the short rib fell off the bone ), to the decadent desserts . I definitely will be dining here again.

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

The bartender, the one person who should be welcoming and engaging, came across as rude and lacked any charisma. On a Friday night, good energy behind the bar makes a huge difference, and that was completely missing. I ordered a margarita, which is one of the simplest and most common cocktails to make. I asked for it really sweet with plenty of salt on the rim. Instead, it came out barely sweet and with almost no salt. For a $17 margarita, I expected much better. I've had to return the drink because I've had better margaritas for $12 at other places. While waiting for my friend, I had to wait with a glass of water because I didn't trust the way they made the drink. The bartender told me I either needed to order another drink or move, which felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. To be fair, the food was good and the space itself is nice. However, the bar service left a very poor impression. There are plenty of more affordable places where the staff are friendly and make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. Give this place a 6.5
