Disclaimer: I'm a newbie when it comes to cigars I went in to buy a cigar for today's tee time. Marcus was very helpful and patient with assisting me. I ended up with the Oliva which was under $18. There's a walk-in humidor with an endless variety of cigars, which I'll undoubtedly get to try soon. Not only did he take the time to explain several cigars' flavor profiles, he took the time to drop some knowledge on the punch cut along with other useful info. He didn't try to upsell but also introduced me to some equipment I'd be needing in the near future. 5 stars for the incredible service! There were a few gentlemen enjoying their cigars while watching sports on the TV. I'm definitely going back for more! read more

Cool cigar lounge with a decent variety of premium cigars. I stopped in for a smoke early afternoon on a Saturday shortly after the doors opened. By 12 noon, it was a half packed house. Large leather chairs, 2 huge flatscreens and several bottles of spirits for purchase. There are cigar accessories such as lighters, cutters and ashtrays. The guys are cool here, everyone welcomes you into the place. read more

I went there a couple of times over the years, but the folks there were not what I would call friendly. I tried to have a conversation with the dude at the counter (he was an African-American guy, middle-aged) but he didn't seem to want to engage in conversation. I thought that was strange for a cigar lounge, but hey, not everybody is cool. The prices were about what cigars cost now ($15-$40) and I believe I got an acid cigar and something else. Since the vibe wasn't welcoming, I decided to pay for my products and go. I haven't been back since then. I hope to find a spot where I can chill, smoke a cigar and chat with some other decent folks. read more

I agree with some of the other reviewers that the customer service is strangely cold and off-putting, if not rude. If you aren't a regular, you will probably feel out of place here. If you're in the area, you are much better off going to Havana House. read more

Superb collection of cigars and a very comfortable lounge area replete with flat screen TV for the games and comfortable chairs. I do believe they might have private lockers...and it's not un common to see a few bottles of whisky to 9air with your stogies.Next door is Gus's barbecue if you get serious hunger pains. Great deals on the unwrapped pig tailed cigars in the racks. read more

Fayez runs one of the best cigar lounges in the area. I've been a long time customer (10+ years). I've taken many clients, friends, and family just to meet the owner. If you want high quality cigars, bourbon, or scotch, pay this shop a visit! If you want to buy someone special a phenomenal gift, pay this shop a visit! If you want to rub elbows with academia, politicians or famous folks, pay this shop a visit! House Rules: Behave yourself, be courteous and don't be a jerk.

Best spot to chill with your crew. With thousands of cigars available worldwide, the prospect of choosing where to find a decent shop can be daunting. At Fair Oaks Cigars and Spirits, you'll find a fully stocked walk in humidor and an experienced cigar smoker behind the counter with ample advice. Dont be fooled by the incredible selection of whiskeys, full prohibition continues. No drinking spirits allowed. FOC&S is, however, a prime spot to watch the game. The comfortable leather couches and oversized armchairs set the tone for the perfect cigar smoking experience. read more

It's one of these cigar shops where the guy follows you inside the humidator watching your every move and worried you are going to steal Cigars. What's the point? I think they had a good selection, but I did not take time to look because of the guy. I won't go back there again. read more

This is normally a great experience. However today I was greatly disappointed. Where as the regular gentleman/owner is very helpful in guiding me in cigar choices including type of cigar, country of origin etc. I was greeted by a gentleman who knew zero about cigars. I literally had to help myself and guide him on country of origin which I read off the label. He literally knew nothing. Where as I understand days off for owners. Please find employees that know your product especially a specialized, luxury item like cigars. Very disappointed with entire experience. I traveled across town to this shop because of past experience forgoing the shop near my home. I still spent $44 on 1 cigar. Saturday May 15 2021 read more

Excellent cigar shop! And... they sell spirits. Located in South Pasadena, just south of the 110, on the east side of the street. There's a parking lot behind the building. I always enjoy my visits here. The place is comfy and classy, the staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the other patrons are polite & friendly. They have a well stocked humidor and I can usually find Opus X cigars here that can be a bit rare at other shops. They sometimes have Opus X gear for sale, like hats and slippers. Can you tell I like Opus X? I like most of Fuente's cigars and luckily for me Fair Oaks carries a large selection. They also sell spirits. While this is not a liquor store, they do have a nice selection that pairs well with cigars. If you enjoy cigars and are in the area, I recommend a stop here. read more

Really good cigar spot, with tons of options. I'm a fan of this place. They have so many options crammed into a little space. Cigars, pipe tobacco, spirits and more. The best options and decent prices. The only drawback is they're just a bit too good. The place is always packed and it's hard to get a seat if you're not early. It's a quiet space and too small. If they ever expand (which I doubt) it would be amazing. As it stands, I go to get some sticks here and again and my pipe tobacco. Nice spot. If you get a seat enjoy from their awesome bottle selections. Many unique bottles not easily found for sale. Really good inventory. Thumbs up to this place. read more

Have Passed this shop many times, whether heading to Tokoro or Gus's BBQ. Always glanced in the Windows and observed groups of men smoking cigars. Fast forward to the Holidays and I was advised by another store owner that this shop had the Scottish whiskey, Talisker. Parking: a few spots up front and parking on the side of building, but it's tough since you are competing with Gus's BBQ patrons. Stepped in and although is was the middle of the day it was dark with a couple groups of men smoking cigars. Everyone was super friendly and if smoking cigars was an interest, this seems a good lounge. On one wall was a large selection of Whiskeys, while in the back was a humidor with quite a selection of cigars. There were several other customers shopping for xmas gifts, but the proprietor made sure to greet me and let me know I was next. Talisker whiskey? 4 types. Nice! Not only a better selection than Bevmo, but priced better. I was looking for Talisker Storm and got it. I recommend for cigars, whiskey or conversation. read more

Puffing slowly in a cloud of smoke, I disappeared into a space of peacefulness and tranquility. On the other side, I appeared again, relaxed. I wasn't the same. I walked with a certain gate. I breathed differently. I drove home and went fast asleep. Fair Oaks Cigars does that every time.

Since moving to Alhambra in October, 2023, this is the only smoke shop I go to. Their prices are significantly lower than their local competitors and the product selection is amazing, especially for gifting needs. My favorite gift items are the crystal pendants, leather bracelets, soft organic cotton clothing items (tunic dresses are my fav here), handwoven bags and sacks, hilarious 420 greeting cards, and the wide variety of Smoke-buddy"s. Honestly, there is such a wide array of items, it is so easy to shop for anyone on my list while in this store, even my mom and the staff is super friendly which makes me want to go in and continue shopping throughout the week. Thanks White Mountain, for your one on one product advice as well as for your care and creativity for the large gift selection options I'll ever need!

The sticker price for the battery I got was 24.99. When i get to the register, he tells me he'll give me a discount if i pay in cash. Otherwise it's 30.00 plus tax. Which is false advertising, because it was listed at 24.99. It seems like a pricing mistake by them, I say no problem ill be back with cash. Then i come back and the guy tells me it's 25 flat with cash. I ask him what about the discount? And he says yeah it was 30.00 without the discount and now it's 25. Which is dishonest, because the sticker says 25. So the discount is not only a lie to cover their pricing mistake, they also make the customer think that they are doing them a favor by mentioning the discount, when in reality they are wasting our time and insulting our intelligence by not honoring the listed prices. Pretty scummy and dishonest way to do business. If you make a listing mistake, you need to eat the cost so you dont essentially mislead customers, and negatively impact your reputation. Every reputable business owner knows this. Never going back, and taking my business somewhere where they dont assume im an idiot. UPDATE: I called the store after leaving the review and invited them to check their yelp reviews. The guy called me back after checking and threatened me with violence lol! I am now waiting for the police to arrive to make a report. Awesome customer service! Update 2: reported the threat to police. An officer Sanchez with Alhambra PD said he would go to Main Smoke Shop and attempt to talk to the guy. Nice way to do business being dishonest about pricing and then threatening violence on a customer. Real smart

It's been 14 years since I left my original review I now belong to one of the monthly wine clubs…read morethey have -- and it's exceptional value and great wines Every time I go in to buy wine as a gift, I get incredible compliments on the wine I have given. This Thanksgiving week reminded me why I love Mission Wines, Chris, and the staff-- I was in a hurry and so I bought wine at Bristol Farms. It was a winery I'd bought before, I looked at the online ratings for the wine and seemed solid Got it home and meh. I said to myself -- next time I'm just letting Chris and his team pick my wines that way no mistakes or off years for me. With so many wineries -- no way I can keep up. Missions Wines is like a sommelier shop on that there is something excellent at each price point -- bottles under $20 will be terrific. And gift bottles will be special They are no adding high end spirits -- I bought a special Armenian brandy there for a friend that I could not find anywhere else Trust them to pick your wine unless you're an expert and your friends and family will think you've got the best taste ever!

Very nice little neighborhood wine store. It's not a very big shop, but its well curated and they…read morehave a wide selection of goods from wine, sake, champagne and even some beer.

Piccadilly Grace

It's a tie when it comes to the best thing about Piccadilly Grace, between the amazing FOOD and…read moreCUTE, breezy, fun ambiance! If you like very tasty, but healthy/clean food, with special extra whole food ingredients that give the food pops of flavor, varying texture (crunch) and visual appeal - you will not be disappointed!! Piccadilly Grace not only doesn't skip a beat with curating their dishes, but they add some incredible touches that make everything so wonderful! These are some of the tastiest most wonderful salads I've ever had & you can't go wrong with ANY of them, but my current favorite is the Asian Crunch Salad! I just add avocado. It comes with a side of delicious bread pieces, which is a nice touch, but it's also really nice that they ask if you'd like it. I hate wasting food, so it's great that they ask. Speaking of their dishes, literally they have the cutest dishes too, as in ceramic dishes that again besides what's in the dishes, it adds to the visual appeal and it makes my experience so warm and welcoming. I should also mention that I've tried their wraps and sandwiches, they're amazing. The turkey chili - GET IT! So good and doesn't taste like turkey at all but it's not super greasy like beef chili. Back to the ambiance...there is no indoor seating here. All seating is in their surrounding patio and it is adorable and enjoyable. Wooden two-person or group tables and with single seat chairs. Umbrellas cover most of them and give shade. But on a hot summer day, with the sun beating, it could get a little uncomfortable if you're there too long at about 2pm. I've been there a few times on a Friday afternoon, and they have had a vocalist, pianist & saxophone player playing some cover songs and they are good! Makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I'm not someone who enjoys sweet drinks, but I can speak to their delicious brewed black iced tea. Perfection every time. Parking is easily found on the surrounding streets, close by and you can even score some shade if you're lucky to park under a tree. Last, but not least, the staff are really friendly, helpful and give great customer service and table side service. I am a huge fan of Piccadilly Grace, and I'll even drive in traffic when I'm specifically craving something from there and nothing else can substitute!

ONLY ABOUT THE MATCHA…read more I want to start by saying that after looking at other reviews, this place is probably better known for its food. However, I only tried the strawberry matcha, so this rating is based mainly on that. VIBE: The spot itself is pretty cute. It's small inside but has a lot of character, and the outdoor seating is great. It feels like a nice place to meet up and catch up with friends. Street parking is decent for a busy downtown area, though it could be better. STRAWBERRY MATCHA: Honestly, if this review were based on the matcha alone, it would probably be a 1-2 star rating. I could barely taste the matcha, and based on the color, it didn't seem like high quality. The strawberry portion was just okay, but at $11.50 (per the Yelp menu), it's way overpriced. Even $7 would feel like too much, especially considering how many better matcha spots are out there. I would strongly recommend skipping the matcha here but like I said that one's on me.

Two Kids

If you're looking for a cozy, screen free coffee hangout that feels personal and social friendly…read morespace Two Kids is the spot. We'll definitely be back! It's small and cozy, but that just adds to the charm and creates this intimate, relaxing vibe. Highlights Great public parking behind the shop. The service is fantastic and the two guys that I met were genuinely friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. The shop has a sign saying no laptops inside, and honestly, I loved it. It turns the place into a true social space where people actually talk to each other instead of staring at screens. The seating is thoughtfully arranged facing the windows, so beautiful natural sunlight pours in and gives everything such a warm, uplifting feel. They make their own oat milk in-house, and it makes such a difference our drinks tasted absolutely delicious, rich and smooth. The whole place just has great vibes all around.

I had a good experience at Two Kids (South Pasadena). I ordered the Espresso w/ Milk & Chai ($6.75…read more- Iced). It's simple, clean ingredients. The crisp taste of well-brewed coffee and chai is refreshing. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment. Also, this is a "Laptop Free Establishment." They have no available electrical outlets and no customer internet.) I arrived at Two Kids (South Pasadena) on Tuesday (around 12:28PM). Parking is free and available. Two Kids (South Pasadena) is located across from South Pasadena City Hall. There's a competitive, free lot in the rear; it's a "4 Hour Parking Limit." Also, there's available, competitive free street parking. Staff is very mellow, professional, and respectful. Staff politely answered all my questions, and Staff felt very low stress. This location is surprisingly popular, and Staff easily breaks into friendly conversation. My drink took about three minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Espresso w/ Milk & Chai ($6.75 - Iced). The drink is very underwhelming, but it's 1000% better than any chain coffee joint. The Espresso w/ Milk & Chai had a light enduring caffeine, and its flavor is very basic and simple. I would not drive a long distance for these drinks, but if I lived in the immediate area, this business is an easy spot to incorporate into a daily routine. It's affordable and good enough. On ambiance, Two Kids (South Pasadena) happily embraces its "just good enough" features. It lacks many basic amenities; there's no restroom, no customer internet, and no electrical outlets. They proudly have MANY little signs proclaiming how it's a "laptop free establishment." The location is also small; there's about two counter tables and three tiny stool tables. However, Two Kids (South Pasadena) is comfortable. I especially appreciated the air purifier and the strong ventilation. The place felt airy and refreshing. Also, the stereo system is very clear and with chill music. They even had one tiny bottle of hand sanitizer by the counter. It's also very animal friendly since I saw customers walk inside with their dogs on the leash. Overall, Two Kids (South Pasadena) feels built to serve the local community. It's not an impressive spot, but there's glimpses of passion for locals. If you live nearby Two Kids (South Pasadena), I recommend. It's not bad at all. 4.3 out of 5

I don't know their names and I don't even think I have to describe them, I'm pretty sure anyone who has ever been here will know exactly who I'm talking about. They always look like they just ate a lemon unless they are laughing at someone, and as I wait for my coffee I watch how they treat their coworkers and the other customers. Not being outright rude, but passive aggressively hostile. They are clearly disgusted with the existence of most people, so it's a weird job to take under those circumstances. Great coffee, though.

Kafana Coffee Juice Bar

Never judge the book (or cafe) by its cover. Let's delve right into this humble review. ;D Haha!…read more Kafana Coffee Bar is a nice little coffee shop hidden in South Pasadena that share the same lobby with a gym. They serve breakfast, pastries, coffee and tea (hot/cold) drinks. Their coffee bar is centrally positioned that offers a 360 degree view of the lobby. Seats were very comfortable with a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered an Iced Coffee ($3.27). And it was simple in taste and in appearance but refreshing nonetheless. Service was spot on. Staff was affable and competent. Prices are fair. Offers free wifi and street parking. What captivating for me was their interior design because it kinda reflected that of your own living room with flat screen tv, bookshelves, bar stool, love chair, sofa and a coffee table. Overall, I had a nice experience and somewhat enjoyed my iced coffee; I really like their chill living room vibe. I still recommend this coffee shop.

My boyfriend and I came here to buy his father some cigars for Christmas. We went in and met a man named Nick. He not only helped us pick out a good gift, he also educated us in cigars. Prior to coming in, we didn't know anything about cigars. After a brief lesson in cigars, Nick helped us out with a selection that would be good to gift. It is great to see that owners educate their employees on their job. On my most recent encounters, I've seen employees not know much about their products. It was a refreshing experience to not only encounter someone with extensive knowledge but also great enthusiasm as well. We will definitely be back here if we ever need to purchase cigars again! Thank you for your time nick! read more

This is an outstanding cigar shop. They staff their are incredibly helpful and truly respect the art of fine cigar smoking. They helped us pick out some great cigars for my wedding and bachelor party because I tend to only smoke romio and juliettas as well as Ashtons. Their whiskey selection is also incredible. If you're looking for a comfortable, relaxing environment to smoke cigars with some cool people then this is the place! Also, if you're a sports fan, there's always something on the TVs there. Thanks again guys! read more

Cohiba's packaging process perfectly blends tradition, craftsmanship and luxury. Each Cohiba cigar undergoes a rigorous selection process. The cigars are carefully arranged by hand to ensure consistency in color and size. The iconic black and gold branding adds a touch of elegance, consolidating Cohiba's reputation as a symbol of prestige in the cigar world. This meticulous packaging process not only preserves the quality of the cigars, but also enhances the unboxing experience, making it as luxurious as smoking itself. read more

First off this place opened at 11 when the sign said 10:30. Then the guy working here acted like I was inconveniencing him by asking him for a cigar suggestion. He is talking about every customer that comes in the door in a negative way. The Cigars are responsibly piced for the area. This could be a great cigar lounge if they were more professional. I would come back but overall a bad first impression. read more
