I NEVER DO REVIEWS!!…read more Walked in and spoke to Dustin (the owner). I'm new to Texas, and thought I would check out this cool smoke shop in Universal City. Customer service was amazing, attention and genuine care was also there. Dustin is clearly a very hospitable guy, he cares about his prices, and also his customers and business. It is obvious he is going far. Nicest dude I've met thus far. He hooked it up with a dab and j as well, not to mention his fair prices. I look forward to coming back when I'm on this side of town and so should you.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and pleasantly surprised at the stock and selection of many things. The gentleman that helped us, I didn't catch his name. All I recall it that he wants wearing a pink Playstation shirt. He was extremely knowledgeable and assisted us with every question we had since this was unfamiliar territory for us. He ended recommending a vape and a liquid that closely resembled the flavor of tobacco (my F-I-L doesn't like flavored cigs). All in all, it was cheaper than a carton of cigarettes and will last even longer! I definitely recommend checking out this place for all your vape needs. Really awesome store!

Historic Market Square - San Antonio

It was truly one of the highlights of my trip and I would highly recommend visiting to anyone in the area, and I hope to go again in the future! The parking nearby was a short walk but nothing crazy, and once we got to the Market it was shaded very well and had such a variety of stands both inside and outside of the buildings which I loved. It was a little hot outside so it was nice to be able to rotate between both areas. There was also such a great mix of stores, restaurants, snack stands, and artisans and crafts throughout. We grabbed some aguas frescas to sip on while we explored and they were delicious and a great price for how big they were. We had a big breakfast but it would be nice to try some of the many lunch spots they had throughout the market. The stores had everything but I loved the amount of talavera pottery to choose from and stocked up as much as my suitcase would allow. Prices are super reasonable as well considering these are handmade artisan pieces. I use my tazas everyday and they are the best coffee cups I have ever had. The merchants are super friendly and helpful as well. Everyone was very welcoming and made it a great experience. I hope to be back in the future!

For my trip to San Antonio, this was one of the places I was super excited to visit. Thankfully we…read morecame on a Saturday where they have Market Square Weekends from 10am - 6pm. There were food, drink, and craft vendors selling in the outdoor market which made the ambiance very lively but not too crowded, as well as live music. Unfortunately, the vendors' food was underwhelming and expensive. I was coming from California and was excited to compare Mexican street food in Texas, but the options were very bland. Esquites - $12, 5 street tacos - $18, Chicken Gorditas -$11, Agua Fresca -$10 I did enjoy looking inside the markets (don't forget there are 2 different buildings for you to do your shopping). You can find some inexpensive souvenirs mixed in with some of higher price points.

The two antique stores aisles are so jam packed with items you can barely walk through. The old filling station converted into an antique shop has no AC and doesn't open until 11 on Fridays, so during the summer in Texas it is already pretty hot by then. There was a public bathroom in the middle of everything so that was nice. Also stopped by cheetahlish boutique store and barely got in the door before the guy running the register made us feel unwelcome by immediately stating that there really wasn't enough aisle room for us. Needless to say, we left pretty quickly after arriving. Would like to come back to see John T. Floored and restaurant and music venue. Lots of big and small artists seem to come through

Is there a better place to enjoy a great latte than The Shops?
