It’s a Thursday night, the plans changed, and you want to know who’s still open. Or it’s Friday, you got out of work late, and you’d rather not scramble before the doors close. Late-night cannabis runs are a real thing in Jersey City, and the answer to “is anyone open?” depends on a few details most listings get wrong: store hours, delivery hours, and how long it takes to get an order to you.
This guide covers CREAM’s late hours, how to time a pickup or a delivery order so you don’t miss the cutoff, how to get here after dark, and how to keep a late-night run safe and responsible. Everything here is for adults 21+.
CREAM’s Hours at a Glance
- Store (284 1st Street): Monday–Thursday 9 AM–10 PM, Friday–Sunday 9 AM–11 PM
- Delivery: Monday–Thursday 9 AM–9:30 PM, Friday–Sunday 9 AM–10:30 PM
That means CREAM is open until 10 PM on weeknights and 11 PM on weekends, seven days a week. Delivery wraps up 30 minutes before the store closes so the last drivers can finish their runs.
Holiday hours can differ, so call (848) 500-9333 before you head out on or around a major holiday.
How Late Is “Late”?
A few things worth knowing before you plan around the clock:
- We close at 10 PM or 11 PM, not midnight. If you’re searching after those times, the answer is tomorrow morning at 9 AM.
- “Open until” and “last order” aren’t the same thing. Arrive well before closing, not at closing. Lines and checkout take time, especially on a busy night.
- Delivery ends earlier than the store. If you want your order brought to you, plan for the delivery window, not the store window.
Timing a Late-Night Delivery Order
Delivery takes time. The estimates on our delivery page run roughly 30–70 minutes for the Hudson County core, and longer the farther out you are — Essex, Union and Passaic counties run from about an hour to 90 minutes. Those are estimates, not guarantees, and they shift with demand, traffic and weather.
A practical rule: don’t wait until the last minute. If you’re in Jersey City or Hoboken and delivery ends at 9:30 PM on a Tuesday, order well before then — an hour or more ahead is a safe margin. The zone scanner on the delivery page shows the estimate for your exact address, and the checkout will show whether same-day delivery is still available.
Not sure it will make it? Schedule your delivery for the next morning instead. You’ll have your order when you wake up, and you won’t have to chase a cutoff.
Late-Night Pickup: The Faster Option
If you’re close enough to the store, order-ahead pickup is usually the fastest route on a busy night. Place your order online, then walk or drive to 284 1st Street and pick it up in minutes. You’ll still need a valid government-issued photo ID showing you’re 21 or older.
It’s the best option when you know what you want and you’re cutting it close to closing time — you skip the browsing and the line at the counter.
Getting to CREAM After Dark
Downtown Jersey City is easy to reach at night:
- PATH: The Grove Street station is about a 5-minute walk west on Newark Avenue, then up Brunswick. PATH trains run around the clock.
- Light rail: The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stops at Marin Boulevard and Newport, within a short walk.
- Driving: Street parking is available on 1st Street and nearby blocks. Meters run until 8 PM, and street parking is free after 8 PM and on Sundays.
- Rideshare or a friend’s car: Often the simplest choice if you’re coming from out of the area.
Check live directions before you leave, especially if you’re coming by car.
A Late-Night Shopping Plan in Five Steps
- Check the clock. Confirm it’s before closing (10 PM Monday–Thursday, 11 PM Friday–Sunday) or before delivery ends.
- Pick your products online. Browse the shop from your phone and build your cart in a few minutes.
- Choose your route. Pickup if you’re close, delivery if you’re not, or scheduled delivery for tomorrow.
- Grab your ID. A valid government-issued photo ID, 21+, is required for every order.
- Keep it simple. Late at night is a poor time to try a brand-new product at a high dose. Pick something familiar, or start small.
What People Pick Up Late at Night
Late-evening orders tend to be quick, familiar purchases:
- Pre-rolls for an easy, no-prep option. See our pre-rolls vs rolling your own guide.
- Disposable vapes for something compact and ready to go. Our flower vs vape comparison explains the trade-offs.
- Gummies for a smoke-free option. Remember that edibles take longer to kick in, so don’t double up if you don’t feel anything right away. Our edibles guide covers dosing basics.
Staying Safe and Responsible
A late-night run comes with a few rules that matter more than usual:
- Never drive after using cannabis. If you’re going out, plan your ride home before you go.
- Keep your purchase sealed until you’re home. Don’t open it in the car.
- No public consumption. Consuming cannabis in public places, including right outside the shop, is prohibited in New Jersey.
- Be mindful of your surroundings. Downtown Jersey City is a busy, walkable area, but the usual late-night common sense applies.
- Store it safely. Keep products out of reach of children and pets.
Save Money on a Late Order
The usual savings apply to late orders. Check the deals page, and see our guide to Jersey City dispensary discounts to see which of CREAM’s standing discounts fits you. Delivery is free on orders over $70 and $5 under it, with no minimum.
Two Sample Timelines
Here’s how a late run might actually play out, using CREAM’s posted hours. The times are examples, not promises.
A Thursday Night Pickup
- 8:45 PM: You decide you want a pre-roll and a pack of gummies. You open the menu and build a cart.
- 8:55 PM: You place an order-ahead pickup order.
- 9:15 PM: You walk over from Grove Street PATH with your ID in hand.
- 9:25 PM: You’re in and out, well before the 10 PM close.
A Friday Night Delivery
- 7:30 PM: You’re home from work and put in a delivery order from your phone.
- 7:35 PM: You check your address with the zone scanner and see the estimated arrival window.
- 8:30–9:00 PM: The driver arrives. You show your ID, sign, and you’re done well ahead of the 10:30 PM end of Friday delivery.
The common thread: ordering earlier than you think you need to. A little buffer makes the difference between an easy night and a missed cutoff.
Weeknights vs Weekends
The schedule changes slightly through the week. On Monday through Thursday the store closes at 10 PM and delivery ends at 9:30 PM. On Friday through Sunday those become 11 PM and 10:30 PM. If you’re planning a Sunday night run, remember that Sunday follows the weekend schedule — and that street parking is free after 8 PM and on Sundays, which helps if you’re driving.
If You Miss the Cutoff
It happens. If the store has closed or delivery has ended for the night, you still have options:
- Order for tomorrow. Place your order online and schedule delivery for the morning, or pick up when the store opens at 9 AM.
- Use the time to plan. Browse the menu and the deals page and build a cart you can check out with first thing.
- Don’t improvise. Only buy from a licensed dispensary. Cannabis from unlicensed sources is untested and unregulated.
Tips for a Quick In-and-Out
- Know what you want before you arrive. Decide on your products at home so you’re not browsing at the counter.
- Use order-ahead. It’s the biggest time-saver when you’re near closing.
- Have your ID out. It speeds up the door check.
- Join CREAM Rewards. It takes seconds at checkout, and points never expire. See our guide to dispensary discounts.
- Come a bit early. Don’t aim to arrive in the last few minutes before closing.
