Its an excellent place to find incense and smoking accessories, they also have a decent number of flavors of hookah tobacco. I was also quite pleasantly surprised by their prices and Incredibly helpful, courteous, and friendly staff.

An icon in downtown Columbia. Been there forever. Always have the nicest staff and a good selection of affordable hippy products. Need more crystals though.

An amazing place! They have everything from jewellery to incense to beautiful gemstones! The pipes are high quality and they have things there that you definitely dont see every day! And the cherry on top is that the things offered are very reasonably priced, and can be even cheaper than buying something off of Amazon! I highly recommend!

As soon as I entered they offered me sanitizer for my hands and were warm and welcoming. The staff here always makes stopping in pleasant, especially in these trying times. I love their tapestries and dream catchers. If you havent been here yet, you need to go!!

I went in to find a couple of gifts! I browsed for a little while, found what I wanted and Josh checked me out. My card had declined twice , he was super friendly and helpful about it, he asked me if I wanted him to hold my things while I ran down the street. Upon returning to pay for my things, he greeted me with a smile and my bag of goodies. He was very understanding and very friendly!!!! Will definately return!

Review №57

Of the handful of stores I like to visit in The District, Aardvarxx is my favorite. The prices are very fair and the quality is good. I have bought a lot of body jewelry there over the years. They have a nice selection of rings, neck chains and pendants. Magazines, incense (& burners), Zippos, smoking accessories, spiritual items, Egyptian perfume/oil bottles, patches, stickers,....They seem to be set up to have something for just about everyone. And, if they dont, they are willing to search their sources to find it. Or, if you know where to source it from, they will try to get that something. Of course, I am talking about the something has to be within reason.
