The hometown head shop just moved up the block, right next door to my favorite bar. Well, isn't that convenient? They've got everything you need as far as the head shop goes, and then the front room has a vast array of t-shirts and stickers and knickknacks and backpacks and I dunno what... but it's exactly what you've come to expect in the front half of a head shop, so I guess they're nailing it!!! Most importantly, they're not way out at the I, and in Kenosha nonetheless, like the head shop I grew up with. Location, location, location! read more

You can order items that they have in the store online which can be an upwards to 20-40 dollars cheaper than they are selling it at this store. Everything is overpriced and they always try selling you the most expensive product in the shop read more

Very fun store! Service was great, I bought some soft lounge shorts that are selling for more online. Also got my kids some cute tie dye shirts. I love supporting local businesses, and I'll be happy to come back here to get more unique items. read more

DISCLAIMER: I am not, nor have I ever been, at-will, contract, or in a consultative capacity, an employee of Cosmic corner, nor do I have any type of ownership interest in the business. I am only a customer who has interacted with every employee many, many times. Cosmic Corner has been and continues to be my go-to vape/head shop. I find the couple of cranky, cantankerous reviews from others arse-backwards. Every staffer I have encountered at CC has been helpful beyond any reasonable expectation for a retail store. And yes, if you want the "friendly hippie head shop" kind of staff that is willing to go through piece after piece until you find that perfect new gem of custom glass for your collection, or help you figure out what the heck the name of a product you once owned half a decade ago was based entirely off of your own vague recollections, you may have to wait your turn. In this kind of biz, you can have speedy and cold or you can have warm, helpful and thorough--but you can't have both; to attempt to deliver both would mean insolvency and, ultimately, closure. And, FWIW, both of those examples I gave (about finding the perfect piece of glass and about recalling a product based entirely on vague memories) are REAL LIFE examples from my own personal experiences @ CC. Cosmic Corner is a Racine institution, and invaluable to its very loyal core customer base. I'm a Chicago transplant who has spent time all over the country, and CC is the only true "head shop" in the area (based on my personal life experiences). I think the crappier reviews represent a fundamental confusion based on a recent market disruption in the industry: e-cigs/juice. CC has a wonderful assortment of e-juices (buy local--go with the River City brand) as well as every tier of e-cig, from the simplest disposable to the craziest sub-ohm mods. HOWEVER, at the end of the day, CC IS A HEAD SHOP. And the defining features of great head shops are always their employees; like almost every other head shop I have ever been in, if you treat them with respect and decency, you will always get the same in return. If you are looking for an establishment where you can act like a horse's petute and still have the employees bowing and scraping, you should probably avoid head shops altogether and just order your stuff online. That's head shops, and for those of us that frequent them, we would NEVER want that to change. Head shops have recently had their business model disrupted by the emergence of e-cigs, and there is a certain amount of adaptation taking place, not just at CC--everywhere. But I can tell you that these employees and this establishment are wonderful, funny, kind, warm, caring people. It's the kind of place you go into just to go into. It seems like the negative reviews are coming from people that went in expecting an e-cig store. CC is a head shop that has a very large selection of e-cig products. Giant difference. read more

Terrible customer service. I went in last week because I was running low on eliquid for my vape and I knew Cosmic had a small collection of liquids. The guy behind the counter was busy dealing with an older couple who looked like they were new to the world of ecigs, I was prepared to wait, I used to work at a vape shop and know how confusing the devices and tanks can be. While he was helping the older couple another woman appeared behind the counter offering to help me, now that would have been nice but the woman was on the phone the entire time. From what I could tell it was a work related call and they were trying to figure something out on the store computer. This really put me off, I am not super familiar with the flavors they carry and would have liked if someone could have taken time to really ask what I was looking for and maybe give me a suggestion on what's good. Instead I got someone splitting their attention between me and the phone while trying to get me out of the store as quickly as possible. Originally this was a one star but I feel that is unfair to some of the guys in there that do provide good service. So if you go in and one of the dudes are working, maybe you'll have better luck than I did. read more

AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE! Came in close to closing, felt no pressure to hurry, staff was helpful and super friendly as always. Will shop here forever. read more

Always loved this store. Moving back to the southeast Wisconsin area has me excited to be able to check out this place more. Really good selection for the area of higher end glass at decent prices. They have a good range of products and seem to have stayed on top of the vape game and ecig stuff as well. they have a selection of ecig stuff that rivals some vape only places, pretty solid for a smokes shop. hippie apparel and band stuff abounds as well plenty of bajas and hemp bracelets and necklaces as well. Ive always been helped out here and would definitely say its worth a look for some nice glass (rigs/waterpipes) read more

I only go to Cosmic corner because its convenient to me since its close but if I have time I will go to other places, they have an ok selection of pipes and such but I hate going there the people are real assholes and be prepared to show your id about three times because on my my last trip in that's how many times I had to, the people are rude and snobby I wouldn't recommend this place unless you like getting treated like shit read more

I generally like this kind of store except that here I tend to find the customer service lacking. For some reason the sales people are a bit hard or harsh, even condescending at times. Maybe because of what they sell... I'm not sure. Maybe because I'm well out of high school my money isn't as welcome?? Lol. It's fine if you know what you are looking for, but if your retail transaction requires a bit extra attention you want to cautiously ask your questions because unlike regular stores, they are not afraid to make you feel stupid for asking. They have their good days, but don't expect consistent friendly service. Also, they don't take returns on some items so be sure to find out because the two week policy doesn't apply to everything. You will be treated like a jerk for asking to return something that they don't take back. Their selection is standard smoke shop stuff and the location is very convenient. Also, like many stores in downtown Racine, it still feels like 1990 at the cosmic corner. Maybe the backward time travel is part of the appeal. read more
