Its so awesome to have a shop like this so close by. Used to always had to go wicker park or boystown. They have a great selection of glass and accessories all at very reasonable prices. The guy that works there is super cool and very helpful. This is truely a hidden gem!

They’re now always open during their posted hours, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Half the time it’s the owner behind the counter, and he’s really personable and nice.
Good selection of pipes, hookahs, and tobacco. So great to have a reliable smoke shop in Pilsen!

Best smoke shop I’ve been to in Chicago. The staff has always been cool and laid back. Very helpful. Plenty of selection without being too over the top. Some places are more about concentrates lifestyle and fashion (with crazy prices) and other places seem like visiting a friend’s basement with black light posters. Smoking Buddha, I feel, is the right balance of functional glass choices, vaporizers, affordability and chill attitude. Definitely a great place to shop!

These guys are taxing like a m’f, I bought a small bowl a couple of weeks ago and it came out to be around $ 16!!! I mean that’s just crazy for a 3.5′ pipe, I know a corner store on 63rd and Pulaski that sells the same exact bowls for $ 10 even. Not to mention these guys time every 15 min, buddy was ots when he came in lol. The shop is pretty mellow I’ll give them that and the music was good, but other than that this place is over priced.

Don’t keep the hours posted.
Clerks are in their own little world .
Wish someone else ran this biz!

alls i needed was a simple, glass tobacco stem. walked in, the clerk asked me how i was doing, and 15 seconds later he was giving me my total along with just what i needed.
the clerk was cordial and didn’t seem put out that he had to make a $ 5.40 sale. maybe that has to do with my charming personality, or maybe the clerk’s a nice guy. you be the judge.

This place is so unpredictable! And, no, not in that cool Pilsen way. The store has unpredictable HOURS. The store clerks have unpredictable moods – sometimes cool, sometimes angry. The only predictable thing about this store is how poor the quality of the merchandise is. The reason I’ve been here so often is because it’s the only shop in Pilsen. Can’t wait to find something new around here.

Taking my business elsewhere next time. I called to tell them I was on my way and that I was going to make a big purchase and ran over there and then they closed 15minutes early then the time they said and have posted and the guy was rude about it. There’s better places with better prices and selections than this place.

Even though I was 16 and I couldn’t buy anything, this place had great service. Great attitude shown from the employees here. Recommend it to many people. Pricey but I think they have really neat glass here. I was looking for a Panda Pipe.
