I thought this place would be a fun metaphysical shop with cool clothes, stickers, accessories, etc. Instead, upon entry you're immediately assaulted with weed smell stronger than your older brother's bedroom on a Saturday night. Everything in here is weed. Weed, weed, weed. Weed and bros. Bros out the wazoo. They had a bunch of loungefly backpacks and other things like that lining the walls in the back. I looked at the clothes, hoping against hope for a nice pair of pants that would fit someone larger than a size 8. No such luck. There were several guys working here and none of them even bothered to talk to me or say hello, let alone offer any kind of help. Prices are high and the employees are even higher. I wouldn't recommend it! read more

First time visiting the store, I was a bit confused of what I was looking at, but I had some sense of knowledge of what they had to offer. I was greeted upon walking, and after a few minutes, looking around the store, I knew what I wanted to purchase in one of the managers helped me throughout my purchase while I need help locating a few things 10 out of 10 with the customer service and I left satisfied, they earned a new lifetime customer!!! Well I only got three items. The pricing was not bad at all. read more

Love this store prices are quasi reasonable, depending on what you are wanting. This time we had an interesting situation while we were checking out - a guy from the "cigar" counter came up and was like "can you ring this guy up next" and he threw a box of blunts on the counter w/a $5.65 price tag (we spent $109 between the two of us) and we had another person with us that SHOULD have been checking out next. She's witty enough to chime up and say "um I don't think so, I was next y'all can wait to smoke your weed" ‍ yeah, she's 15 and put 4 grown men in their place. Maybe they could work on their employees' "focus" / "attention" to customers a lil better but the store itself is one of our favorites and we stop every time we're in St. Louis. I'm sure we will go next time too. read more

Visitng Wash U in St. Louis and was walking around the Delmar loop when I spotted this cool shop. They have a tremendous selection of the dyed shirts and in particular great Grateful Dead shirts. I browsed through the multitude of choice and settled on one shirt to bring home. High quality cotton and beautiful prints on each shirt. People are really nice. Also has a head shop for those so inclined. I highly recommend. Fun to browse for sure. read more

My incense emporium. From biggies to cones they've got all the aromas you love to love in select sizes. Mulberry, Nag Champa, Sensuality, Honeysuckle, Cherry Blossom, Zen, Lilac, Ocean Breeze, Eucalyptus....you get the picture. Although I am not a smoker they've got everything for those who do indulge. Also, tons of apparel from tie dye tees to beach dresses, socks, bags, records and a plethora of other non-essential essentials. By far my favorite boutique in the Loop. Located next door to Vintage Vinyl. ~Christy read more

How do I put this? I'm a Deadhead, and I am drawn to shops like this. Sunshine Daydream is a quote from the song, "Sugar Magnolia" by the Grateful Dead. This is a hippie shop, yes, but it's a Grateful Dead boutique. Because I don't allow tobacco to hit my mouth or lungs, I go for the clothes. Didn't even glance at the cigarettes, or see them. Clothes!!! And handbags. I found the dancing bear handbag, (brown tones of corduroy with a brown bear head on it), that I've been looking for for years. I saw it once, at a Grateful Dead event, saw it online, couldn't find it in Kansas City. Gave up on it. There it is, in a store in passing, in St. Louis. The clothing is typical Deadhead clothing, uber coolio. I have my eye on a sweater dress I might have to go back and get. The rest of the clothes, gauzey or patchwork type clothes. Tons of handbags. I'd say the majority are vegan. T-shirts of every faucet of the Grateful Dead. Winter hand knit hats, which are penguins, cats, bears (not dancing bears), or striped or patterned, for adults. I love love love those hats, but have only seen the cats in Kansas City, overpriced, at Urban Outfitters. Hemp jewelry, hemp fashion, hemp chains, hemp everything in one area. Fragrances, braided bracelets, posters, tapestries. Giving it 5 stars cause I found my damn purse I've been looking for for a century. Very cool staff, also. The store channels the peace sign of the Grateful Dead and makes it seem like they are still trippin'. read more

Your typical HIPPIE SHOP. You'll can find scented candles, incense, smoking pipes, hemp clothes, trippy posters, wooden masks, body jewelry, fragrance oils, funny t-shirts, and wood-carved boxes here. The chicks at the counter were a little ditzy, but what do you expect? My favorite were the baby onsies in the back of the with phrases such as "Little F*cker" and "Result of a One Night Stand". Funny sh*t! read more

Awesome Hippie/Grateful Dead store with a very positive vibe to it. The people are very nice and friendly and they have a huge selection of Grateful Dead items plus many items for smoking, blankets, ponchos, and a huge variety of women's hippie type clothing. One of the best hippie stores I've seen in a long time and I'm glad they're still there. read more

Sunshine Daydream... This place was cool when I was in college and was all about t-shirts and posters. Anything musicwise donned by my walls or me was the Beatles. Lots of clothes at Sunshine Daydream. There was a wall of Beatles shirts that I would have viewed as fashion paradise at 17. Many music-related posters, some iPod cases, etc. I went in looking for a tie-dye shirt to wear to a Turtles concert coming up in St. Charles next week and was pleased to find one for $10.00. It's a three star place for me. Doesn't get the fourth star because it's a chain and really feels like one. Doesn't get the fifth star because, as it's not my thing, I can't really tell how "good" of a store it is. read more

So this is pretty much your typical hippie shop. Smells like incense, odd clothes, lots of hemp, and jam band paraphernalia next to your "tobacco" paraphernalia. I bought an amazing pair of gloves from here. I bought one for myself and one for a secret santa exchange. I wore through them but they were easily one of the best pair of gloves I have ever owned. They were thick-wool, fingerless gloves that have the flap that can convert them into mittens--hate those cold fingers in winter time! The inside of them are lined with fleece so they are super comfortable and warm. I loved these gloves so much I'm going to go back and check if they still have them! I don't think they are "locally" made or anything but they definitely had unique generic patterns/aesthetics. Nothing "hippie" about them. read more

Need to get your hippy bohemian vibe going? This is the place. You get hit by a huge wave of incense when you enter and they do have a large selection of it. What is weird is that the smell of incense is less overwhelming near the selection of incense. They must have something that circulates or filters the air in that immediate area. LOTS of hippy clothes for sale there, crazy right? hehe. Really nice people work there. They were talking about what people's signs were and someone was looking it up. So no surprises here. Surprisingly clean and their merchandise is very true to the image they are trying and succeeding in projecting. I wasn't terribly surprised to see Pringles for sale there but the shaving cream for sale did make me pause. All and all, if you need incense.. oh man did you hit the jackpot! They have a lot of it! If you need relaxed bohemian/hippy gear then this is your place! Interesting to check out. I did purchase some incense that was very modestly priced. read more

It's a modern day head shop. That is truly the best and most accurate way to describe this place. If you are looking for a pipe, a part for a hookah, or any other object of this variety, you will likely find it here. Chances are, the people working will be able to tell you exactly how to use it, too. Just go in to this store, you will see what I mean. I used to spend hours in this place in high school. I thought I was so cool looking through the funny t-shirts and buying hand sewn bags and black light posters. Looking back, I am glad I left this phase behind, but I still enjoy popping into this store every once in a while to remember those days. Just the smell of the incense in this place brings me back 10 years. This is also one of those places that I could see many a young kid buying everything to decorate their dorm room. They have at least half of the stereotypical posters that every college kid desires and the clothes just reeks of college kid going through their hippie phase. So, if you happen to be in this phase, go here....they will satisfy all your hippie needs. read more

Sunshine Daydream is a tobacco/gift shop that specializes in tobacco pipes, rolling papers, etc., but also has great tapestries, incense and accessories, clothing, shoes, home decor items, and much more! The stock here is constantly changing and I make sure that I stop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. There is a strange attitude people have toward this store, like it's just a glorified head shop or a "hippy haven." I'm not sure about either of those claims, but I do know that the merchandise they sell here is of good quality, the staff is friendly and helpful, and I've found several great gifts for people that they loved. The rest of the hype I could care less about. read more

Sunshine Daydream - Head Shops Near Me - University City, Missouri

Cool items inconvenient delivery methods. But definitely cool head shop. Pain to ship unless you have the day to wait.

It's as if someone followed the Grateful Dead for years and decided to open a shop, selling pipes, incense, and hippie home décor. If you're a t-shirt fan (the weirder, the better) then you might find something here... You know, for going out to a Phish show (or locally, Madahoochi) or stocking up for Burning Man. I think that Sunshine Daydream was conceived with all the hippie stereotypes in mind. But they play it off well. Just don't ask the staff to do any complex math. read more

As you walk past Sunshine Daydream on the sidewalk, the smell on incense fills the air. Walk inside and you can get a nice whiff of it. They have clothing for what people would typically describe as the hippie type, although I have found a few shirts that I deemed un-hippie enough to buy. They also have what I would call artifacts, but some may call them home accessories. It's the type of place that you would find something you've been looking for, but you never knew you were looking for it in the first place! They also have a large assortment of really unique and colorful smoking paraphernalia that is explicitly for tobacco use only. read more

They have a fair selection of pipes, but apparentley they don't have duplicates because I broke a pipe I bought there once and they never again had that esact same pipe there again. Come here for your hippie fixins. Beatles, Greateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana t-shirts and posters. Incense, jewelry, etc. No returns though. read more

I don't think I'm truly the clientele of this place (although I wish I still was), but I truly appreciate what I find there. Oh wait, didn't I buy some incense the other day? Never mind I guess I am a hippie. Best place to buy rare cigarettes such as cloves or organic tobacco, but if you don't smoke you may be out of luck. They do have great memorabilia such as Marley shirts and more. A must for anyone wanting to become a hippie, I guess... But I think your heart has to be in it to win it for that. read more

The prices are excessive here and the customer service "vibe" is always lacking. I know it's a place to be yourself but it wouldn't kill the staff to have a friendly demeanor. Other than that, there are still cool finds. Just prefer not to waste money on overpriced goods myself. read more

Cool little hippie shop...as I like to call it. Tye Dyes, incense,etc. The selection is good and the staff was helpful. They also offer online ordering. read more

Worst store ever! If I could give zero stars I would! Do not shop here or waste your money here. I highly recommend shopping at earthbound or at the shop. I literally have nothing tying to say about this business or its employees and management. Seriously save your time and money and visit one of the other shops or even better shop online. read more

I came in looking for cartridges for a Delta 8 thc vape. I stumbled upon the Cake brand disposable strawberry cough, not realizing it was a disposable cartridge. I get to checkout and notice the price is different, but didn't question it. Immediately after purchase when I'm handed the package back, I recognize it is a "disposable device". I tried to exchange, but wasn't able to. The guy at the desk didn't even speak to me, he dismissed me like a child that doesn't speak English. I later noticed the device didn't come with a charger either. This was sad. I may have gotten a bad device, I tried two chargers for it and read through Reddit help. Still there was no luck. Moral of the story. Read before you buy, don't purchase the Cake brand disposable devices, this is a very common issue apparently. Lastly, don't expect kindness at this location. I hope this prevents anyone else from a stressful night of hopeless charging. read more

The irony of a chain hippie shop is enough to make me laugh. It isn't your typical hippie shop, because your typical hippie shops usually include hippies (not sold separately). Instead you have an average size population of trustafarians and freegans who would like to frequent or work at a head shop, so the big guns have brought a branch of the mighty Sunshine chain to the fine locale of the Loop. Pretty much seems to be shopped at by 19 year olds looking for a bong, kids just discovering the Dead and Bob Marley, and other random hangers-on just wandering in and out of shops. I'm giving it two stars, because they do have the odd thing or few that is pretty cool and can't be located anywhere else in this city (weird decorations, etc). Other than that, I can leave it. read more

We enjoyed this fun hippie shop on a recent visit to St. Louis. Loved the t-shirts, purses and other accessories. Nice variety, great prices. read more

I went to sunshine daydream with the intention to browse. I left spiritually fulfilled and with my horizons expanded. Long story short, I spotted some Charles Barkley pins and realized I needed to have one. I popped my collar and decided it needed a pin, right there, right now. I experienced amazing customer service, and Jaime was especially professional and kind. I ended up getting the pin. I wear it all the time :) read more

Fun place come in if you're in the neighborhood. Definitely buy some incense. Neat stuff to check out. Worth a look.

I enjoy stopping by this shop from time to time to look around at all the knick knacks. Pretty typical hippie shop. Severely overpriced. But a fun stop. read more
