Monsters of Rock Smoke Shop

A little over priced, but we’re in Cupertino so I don’t expect to get things cheap.
I’ve been going here for years. Including their previous location. Only 90’s kids will remember their previous spot. They’re always friendly and helpful. I can always find what I’m looking for.

The staff rocks! They know they’re product, are extremely helpful and patient. And there r literally «balance» rocks outside super cool

The staff has major attitude and they’re products aren’t that great. There are plenty of other smoke shops in the area that provide better service and a bigger selection.

I’ve been going here for years now; this has been my go-​to smoke and vapor accessory shop since the day I first walked in. Excellent selection on glassware, vapor products (including many different brands/​flavors), hookah, etc. Their prices are always competitive and the people who work there know what they’re talking about.

Iv’e been going here for over 10 years, they have always been friendly and have a nice selection of products and then some compared to many other shops like theirs. Cheers!

I’ve been going to Monster’s of Rock since I turned 50. As a rite of passage, I’ve been getting one or more piercings for the past 8 years on my birthday. Erica has done all of my piercings and she’s terrific. I’ve had my L nostril done by her twice (lost my post and it grew back) had my ears done numerous times, including both of my tragi, L & R. I only kept my original, stainless steel piercings for the mandatory period of time, then exchanged them for 14 or 18K yellow gold and on my ears, for real diamonds on both sides. I have 8 or 9 piercings in each ear (can’t count that high, ha ha).And I have really appreciated Erica’s expertise with the piercing gun, and her manual dexterity, for piercing my tragus (cartilage is notoriously hard to pierce, and she’s done the cartilage no only on my 2 tragi, but all around the shell of my ears, and it was basically swift and painless). So, bottom line, I highly recommend Erica for piercings of all types… She also keeps an extremely sterile environment, and re-​gloves constantly, using autoclaved instruments, and generous amounts of pre-​packaged alcohol swabs, and pre-​packaged triple antibiotic crème.
When I smoked vanilla and clove slender cigarillos, I purchased 2 silver plated smoking cases from there, and 2 double flame butane torches, at excellent prices, that perform to this day most excellently. Their prices are what I consider quite reasonable for their merchandise, and I’ve also bought some of their fantasy statuary as gifts for friends, as well as a few of their pipes (as gifts)…
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with your experience, whatever it may be, at «Monsters of Rock» on De Anza Boulevard and Highway 85 in San Jose!

We came here to get some butane and I was soooo excited to see that they had jewelry! I have been on the hunt for a nose ring… ok that is a total lie. I have been wishing for a nose ring to appear out of thin air because I am a lazy arse… but lo and behold, BOOM, hoops for the nose. Note, they did not have any gold ones (cue tears) but I settled for a cute and thin silver hoop. They had a variety of barbells, studs, hoops, and naval décor for a really reasonable price. They also had BEAUTIFUL glass pieces. I got my nose ring and my partner got butane and we were on our merry way.

I bought TWO DIFFERENT butane torch lighters here. BOTH OF THEM BROKE WITHIN A WEEK!!! One of them blew up on me and caught fire!!!
Don’t ever buy anything from this place! They sell cheap stuff at a high price!!! Stay away!

I baught a belly button ring about a month ago and after I purchased it I unscrewed the top ball and the whole damn thing twisted and broke in half! I went back in and I tried to exchange it and the guy said that they don’t take returns or exchanges even though I had JUST PURCHASED IT!!! I went on to say how I have had my ears pierced and other piercings done there aswell in the past and this guy (long hair looks like a tweaked out meth chick) aggressively stated I’m prettyyyy sure I have more ear piercings than you…, I said I’m not going to stand here comparing ear piercings with you and that had nothing to do w the issue. That guy was just useless so I asked 2 speak w the manager and apparently no one manages tgaf store according to both guys. I went and talked to the other guy who was clueless as well and I said can’t you just send it back to the manufacturer as defective but nope… Why? Because they get it all from china… They charged me $ 15 for a belly button ring that I found online selling for $ 3. In addition I had to get my belly button re pierced because the first time the woman did not use enough skin so I have a scar from that anddddd I bought a piece there that was overpriced and it broke within 3 days. If you want to get ripped off and compare piercings w a dude that looks like a cracked out chick then this id the place for you!!!

These guys are crook… they sells junks for a ridiculously high price. Not only that they don’t take the responsibility when the CRAP they sells breaks in less than 24 hours… I bought my second e-​ciggerate and this owner Omar set up the whole unit for me and I paid like $ 120 and filled up the liquid as well and next day morning it breaks. Ridiculous part is he tells me that I was abusing the unit with over screwing it. Are you fucking kidding me? I am not a 5 year old kid that will abuse a mechanical/​electrical device .
DO YOURSELF A BIG FAVOR, STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHITTY PLACE.

I lost the bottom to my ear piercing’s barbell the other day (yes, someone dragged me out during the day, hiss). I had just gotten my ears pierced in random places and know that if you leave them closed over the course of a day, sometimes you have to get them repierced or worse, they get infected (which is not really the thing I was going for).
I didn’t know that Monsters of Rock was a piercing place too. I wish I could go back in time :) They have SO much jewelry selection for being a) a smaller space than the original shop I had been to to get pierced and b) primarily a smoke shop.
Also, great customer service, friendly people — the guy who works here, Devin (forgive me if I am forgetting the right spelling) was sooooo nice — I know I’m not a people person. I’m like the anti-​people person. I was asking a ton of questions about the piercings and jewelry and man is he patient. He up with me and my slew of questions while I was happy inside to find a cool shop that didn’t take half an hour to drive to and actually had things I didn’t have to special order. Where I had my ears pierced, they had such small selection and everything was special ordered… here, there is so much right there, and everything is so much more affordable for me.
Oh, and did I mention that of all the smoke shops I’ve been to around they have a TON of glass. I would probably spend a good few hours looking at glass if I could and I don’t even smoke (but most of my friends do or have). They showed me this tiny little vape that’s amazing looking. Some people say that they are expensive in reviews, I didn’t see prices so I can’t say. I know that their jewelry is affordable, though!

Super friendly guys working at the counter. Gave me some great advice and a deal on a package deal.

Picked up a nice liquid piece with an in-​line perk. Great quality and great price. The staff was extremely nice and patient with me. I am a difficult customer and asked to look at many pieces they had no problem showing them to me and explaining the differences between the different pipes.

The two guys that work here at night are very rude and impatient every time I come here. The lady that works during the day is very nice and helpful though.

First off i want to let people know who are looking for the best place to buy hookah products, this is it they have the largest selection of shisha out of all the places I’ve checked out in the area from starbuzz, to al fakher, to fantasia they have it all. When i came in and began to browse the shisha, the guy who was working there was really nice and helped me pick out some awesome flavors. As far as other things go like the glass and pipes they carry i didn’t looks into that very much.
and i don’t know what all the fuss is about with people complaining out the whole not getting a discount thing thats not something you put in a review thats personal and is in no way going to affect others experiences with the smoke shop. Another note NO IT ISNT as expensive as people say it is i thought the same thing last night when i had just bought some shisha so i quickly searched online at a pretty reputable hookah website and all the tobacco i bought was only a 1 $ cheaper online then in the store and when you plug in shipping into the equation it’ll end up being more expensive.
overall its a great smoke shop for anyone looking to buy anything hookah related i cannot say much for there other products because i didn’t go there for that.

this place use to be good, when they had the two ladies run the shop. now its a tough looking middle eastern guy and a really skinny punk rock looking guy with really long hair.
As a long time customer, i used to always buy stuff in bulk here. when i mean bulk, i mean probably 150 – 200 bucks worth of tobacco/​coals/​etc every month or two. And before, i would always get 10 pct off or no tax on my order.
this past week, when i stopped they told me that they would no longer be doing that. WTF? as a long time customer, i was shocked. Ive spent well over a thousand dollars here on shisha and hookah related products, even bought a hookah (which later turned out to be defective) and did not complain to the about it.
As a regular customer, i shouldnt even have to ask for a discount. I EXPECT ONE. this type of service, i hope this place tanks. will never go back. period. F U monsters of rock. you just lost a valued customer, and yes i will tell all my friends not to visit this terrible establishment again, unless the owner contacts me immediately and makes things right.
good riddens.

Love this place! the guys that work here are awesome, made me feel very comfortable. Since I am an ‘older’ customer, I usually feel out of place or unwelcomed at other places — not this place, very friendly and knowledgeable. Great job!

I love the piercer here. The fact that she doesn’t have 90 piercings in her face and isn’t covered in cliché tattoos is a very nice change from some of the other shops I’ve been to. I’ve had my nipples and navel pierced by her and I never had any problems with infection or scarring. From now on, this is the only place I will go to for a piercing!
(Sorry I can’t comment on the actual Smoke Shop)

I’m scared that if I leave the bay area for too long, I might come back and not be able to find Monsters. Stop moving, guys! I love you and I can’t deal with thinking you’ve closed again because you’ve migrated around De Anza Boulevard for the umpteenth time!
Everyone I’ve encountered here has been helpful and knowledgable without being super talkative. I love it. Pipes, vapes, a big variety of hookahs and accessories, and classic smoke-​shop novelties (Bob Marley tees, nag champa incense, and a variety of NorCal paraphernalia).
Haven’t gotten pierced here yet, update to come.

The two guys that work here are very knowledgeable and sooo friendly.
I recently got my cartilage priced and was looking for a specific type of earing and decided to stop by and see what they have.
They did not have what i wanted. but the guy that was helping me give me some really helpful information on my piercing.
Thanks!
