Empire Smoke Shop 2161 Doolittle Drive. San Leandro, CA 94577 (510) 280-8980 08/09/2022. Great selection of incense candles. Fair price. I wish I can say more regarding Empire Smoke Shop but I was there to purchase incense candles. I was impress with the guy that was helping out the Customer with his questions. A plus for their employee's knowledge of the items. Location is nice and safe. Parking is good. Store is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Support local business. read more

I went to this shop and I had the best experience I have had amazing people amazing service I wanna say thank you so much for the guy his name joe he was so helpful read more

Appreciate the owner getting back to me but nobody was having a meal when I went in. The owner had no mask on and was talking with a customer who had his mask around his neck. It's just irresponsible. I was looking forward to buying some supplies from a local business, in my neighborhood, too. read more

Local smoke shop in the area that has alot of options. Easy to deal with. I would recommend this smoke to my friends and family.

These guys kick ass. Best smoke shop in the East Bay in my opinion. Friendly staff and great pricing. The shop itself is on the modest side in terms of size, but they make up for it by having a killer selection of choice glass pieces from respected companies. Joe will make sure you get a good price and I've never seen him in a bad mood:) 5 well-earned stars for Empire read more

This will always be my go-to smoke shop. Ya'll really have such a genuine & helpful dude behind the counter, he always answers all of my questions & gives great tips to make my PuffCo last as long as possible. I don't usually write reviews but it's well deserved, 10/10 read more

WORST SMOKE SHOP. They sold me the wrong product, and when I went back 1 hour later to tell them -they said that they did not have the size that was requested nor could they give me a refund or another item of the same price. With all the options in this neighborhood why would anyone practice such shitty business etiquette?The manager also refused to speak with me, even though I had been a loyal customer for several months. Disgusting read more

So glad I discovered this shop so close to home. I was in dire need of an E-cig battery (recently lost two and had no backup). Travis and Fred were friendly, helpful and provided me with a replacement at a reasonable price. I especially appreciated that Travis carefully explained how to charge the new device and encouraged me to return if I needed further assistance. read more

The best smoke shop I have visited. I stopped by on a whim as I needed a new battery and was blown away by the service. If I could give a higher score I would. We all know that most smoke shops are very similar and the vibe comers fro the service. The was the best customer service I have experienced in any smoke shop. Patient, kind, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful are just a few of the adjectives to describe the service. While it is not the closest shop to my house, I will go out of the way for this type of service. read more

Awesome shop! Employee helped me out big time a few years ago! I walked all the way from the airport just to pick up

One of if not the best smokeshop I have been to in a loooooong time the customer service comes from experience not a text book and awsome prices on one of a kind pieces! The place to go for all your smoking needs! Stop in grab a roach clip and keep it real. read more

Excellent customer service from Joe today. He's super chill and talks to you like you've known each other for years. Good selection and good customer service. I'll be back. read more

This is the best smoke shop i've been too, a great alternative to orbitz. His prices are the best, the pipes are all amazing, it's great being able to ask about almost ALL the products. I take all my friends into this shop. Stop by ask some questions, buy a pipe. Empire is here to stay. He regularly attends convetions with new pieces and if you catch him before he goes, he'll bring back anything you ask for at really good prices. Theres always sales and events and if your strapped for cash tell him and he'll hook you up with a good deal. read more

Good service and a great selection of glass to browse. I was glad to find many Made in California brands too! A nice clean store. read more

The first time I came to this smoke shop was about 3 months ago to buy a new pen battery and the guy was very nice and showed me options on what to buy. So I bought a battery and honestly I would give the shop a 5 star rating. But today I went to the shop again because I had issues with my battery and to see if a person could help me or I should buy a new one. But the person who was there was a 20 year old bearded man with two earrings. He was very rude claiming that he owned the shop and he told "I don't make these batteries, I only sell them" If has been the "owner" he would have answered in a humble and polite manner. read more

Oh man! This place has some of the best & legit glass around. They had some super heady pieces there! They have a original pre-raid Signed Chong Bong which was cool. Everything was fair priced in my experience with other head smoke shops and the dude working was knowledgable. Overall this is my spot from now on! read more

I went here to pick up a bong and the guy who worked there (Joe I think) was helpful, friendly and funny. He worked with me about my price point and smoking needs and didn't try to upsell me. They're expanding to the store front next store soon, so they'll have even more inventory. read more

Been here a few times, probably dropped about $150+ at this place total on some overpriced pieces and various other things. The dude running the place is pretty standoffish/serious, kinda hostile vibe tbh. Last time I went I bought a vape pen and the dude sold it to me with no box or packaging or charger (I asked, he said it came like that), and it broke just a couple days later. Done giving this place my business. Products are overpriced, dude running it is lightweight hostile, electrics are shoddy and the guy clearly doesn't care about quality control. Think I'll drive the extra distance to another shop next time read more

These guys freakin rock! great parking great customer service. Ill be buying my backwoods from this store all the time.

Jalil is the man, his store is just starting but already is taking shape.. The art is this place is off the hook. Someone spent some time getting this place ready. Keep an eye out for these guys. Get ready S.L, new shops in town! read more

The owner runs the place and is super friendly and helpful. Great prices and selection. Would highly recommend this place. Definately going back read more

Great smoke shop, convenient location for me, and good prices. Will do business again. Carries most of the stuff you'd expect from a higher end smoke shop, and best of all you don't have to drive all the way to Berkeley if you need something simple read more
