Such a great shop! They have a gorgeous variety of crystals and stones, and their prices are super affordable! Their team was extremely helpful and friendly (and masked!). They were so patient with me.I got everything I was looking for, and found some stones I hadnt heard of before, which was really fun!I would definitely recommend stopping in!

A fantastic place to come to they support local artists and feature their stuff up front and where it can be seen. Theyve got fantastic clothing and a pretty bomb metaphysical section! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they are always operating safely and as clean as possible following current guidelines.

Wish I could give zero stars. If you want to stay safe do not go here. There is a gentleman who works there and had his wife in the store. I overheard her talking to him and she stated she just tested positive for covid. Neither were wearing mask. They were very rude and I saw the female steal something

I love the originality of this store and the people who work there! Most stores have items and clothing styles that are just carbon copies of every other store. This place is unique! If I’m spending money for myself or a gift for someone I can always find something cool and different there.

Excellent service from this store. After a previous mistake they took extremely extra effort to make sure I was happy again as a customer. Argos leads a great uplifting staff that I cannot wait to see again when I go back to shop at this store. Highly recommend!!

Affordable prices, reliable pieces, many varieties, and the employee are kind. In my opinion, this store is much better than.House Of Glass (which have good pieces but are super expensive). Go to Day Dreams instead. You wons regret it!

Review №43

Its an alright store, it has some nice items but not a very wide selection and the prices reminded me more of a mall style store versus a store you would go out of your way for.They have a lot of the typical items you would expect from that style of store.They had an alright incense selection, and it was reasonable in price, so that was a positive.

5 minutes in this store and you will smell nice for the rest of the day. better prices on glass pipes than House of Glass, and much nicer glass pipes than most other places. they know their glass blowers personally, and can direct you to someone if you need a broken piece repaired.

Have been here a couple times and the staff are usually very nice and helpful, and their products very good. Got a fantastic pipe from here. Today I went and spent around $100 on herbs for making tea. The employee that was working on it seemed upset from the start, so I just ordered everything to be the same amount in ounces hoping that maybe would make things easier, but he seemed more and more upset while working on bagging the herbs. I decided to look around a bit while he was working on them, thinking maybe it might be uncomfortable for him to have me watching. Then as I was looking around I heard him literally say F*ck this, and so I went back to the counter. The other man who finished helping me has always been super friendly and courteous, and was really great. However, Ive never had such an uncomfortable shopping experience before, and I think from now on Ill stick to ordering what I need online

Im visiting family 1400 miles from home. Lost a bag of kratom. Finally found Groovy Goods. Dude took great care of us, actually had decent, above-par, powdered kratom, as opposed to the smoke shop garbage that Ive typically found available. Saved our vacation! Thanks guys!

Yesterday was my first visit to Day Dreams and from the minute I walked into the store, immediately felt relaxed and peaceful. Every employee was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Review №64

This place is should be called gracious goods!!!! I went in telling them about constant headache problems. These headache problems couldnt be solved by modern day medication. They just smiled and said, have you tried CBD? I said yes, but then they recommended a certain kind they carried, and even gave me a free tincture of it! I also love the atmosphere, and all the advice they have when I walk in...

Review №65

I went and dropped 4 bands on heady glass art and pendants today and yesterday. I URGE YOU please let Robbi and Bonzi take the lead on any future heady glass orders - they know EXACTLY what to look for to make people want to buy glass and I love EVERY reccomendation that they give me! They understand beautiful art AND functionality and they make every visit AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE!! Please treasure these valuable employees and make sure they are able to use their expertise to help myself and others in the future!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ROBBI AND BONZI

Was in Iowa visiting family. Needed some Maeng Da. Was in kind of a hurry and got back to where my family lived (bout an hour away). Found out they gave me Bali Red instead. Not good. Plus, the prices are WAY too high. Was very disappointed. I thought after seeing the reviews, that they would have my back (the reason for the kratom). But they didnt.

Review №75

My mother is a big fan of the hippy days lifestyle.... Well we know not to come here, the store layout is very crammed and the staff will use that unorthodox layout to assume you are stealing, even if you havent stolen in your life, they will look at you like you sure have.It seems a lot like everyone has had the same thing to say about this place, Ive noticed that the staff or workers here seem to be very interested in seeing what you are looking at, thats because Im just guessing that they get a lot of shoplifters in here. Ive been stolen from before, and it sucks. But when me and my mom hung out one day and came into this store, the workers were very suspicious of everyone sneaking around stealing. Which makes sense, who ever setup the store wanted YOU the window shopper to run up against something even with your hands high up in the air.

Review №78

(Update: Nice to know the owner cares about his business and wanted to make things right(for that i bumped from 1 to 3 stars), but they were the only place that wouldnt tell me the price (or if they even had them) of a pack of coils. If I had seen the reply 10 months ago i probably would have took him up on the offer, but regardless if that lady still works there I would be surprised and still not take my bushiness there. I dont care who you are I am a potential customer and dont like being talked to in a snobby tone, and Ive worked retail before its not a hard to avoid such a thing to a respectful customer.)Called to ask what the price of a pack of coils costed(because I live over 40 miles away) at 1:44pm 8/16, and was immediately shut down by the person who answered the phone saying we dont conduct private business of the phone or some bs in a semi snide tone. Guess i wont take my business in person either. Goodluck with business then!

This spot is tucked in the middle of an array of shops in the Drake neighborhood. They have awesome candles, smoke/odor exterminator sprays and incense. Huge variety of tie dye items, even onsies. A lot of little knick knacks.

DO NOT COME HERE!! The people in there now talk down to you and try to make you feel stupid about everything. Rude as hell too, I called about a pen I got from them less then 24 hours ago and used it one time and the battery went out. When I called they told me to come in to pretty much tell me it was my fault and that they cant do anything, treated me and my girlfriend horribly and made rude remarks and snarky comments to us as we left after we spent almost 500$ in there the day before 100$ on the pen and they treated is like this. They act like know it alls smart asses and will never be getting business from me of any of my family or friends. You have better luck just ordering your things online.
