City Smoke Smoke manager Aramis was very cool and helpful. When I came in, he immediately ID'ed me,…read moreand anyone else that came in so you cannot browse the store without showing ID. I had time to kill so I wanted to check out their huge store and products. They have a ton of bowls, bongs, grinders, vapes, cigars, rolling trays, and almost any accessory you can think of. They are a bit overpriced, but they do have a large selection of unique pieces that are hard to find. Definitely one of the bigger smoke shops I've been in (and I've been in many). Really well stocked & organized, easy to navigate, and good service. They do not allow for refunds or store credit, though.

He was blah at best and said they didn't have a tincture I wanted, which clearly showed available on their website. He went for a second only to casually reiterate the fact they didn't have any.

Old ownership I cannot imagine allowing their employee to answer the phone like this. Abrupt, fast, cold, impersonal, asking only what I need from them in that moment -- self-centered and jumping to conclusions. I'd stay away, if I were you.
