Needed crystals and a pipe so where else would I go?? The gentleman at the counter where the crystals are located was less than cordial, it seemed my questions interrupted his doing nothing, but fortunately he passed me off to someone amazing and knowledgeable, she is who earned the 5 star rating...if you need information on crystals, talk to Bella, she's awesome and totally has a gift for knowing people's needs, I'll be going back to her personally for more crystals very soon...Thank you Bella!! 🌺

One of my favorite places to go in Ocean Beach since I was a kid.

The Black has not changed much at all since the late 70's when I first visited. Of course, more areas are accessible to me now. Jewelry, clothes, accessories, music ... stuff. (not a music person) lots of incense, and posters that are less than $10 a pop. Friendly staff and zero pressure. You can really tell that this is not the same as other stores on Newport by the staff. Super chill

The Black fun store to explore. I give it a 3 star because the man that runs the smoke shop very negative. He got frustrated with an employee right in front of customers. Twice I was in there, and noticed his negative behavior. Plenty of other jobs out there, to not have to work with such a toxic boss

Been coming here for 30+ years. I love it! Always something new to check out yet you can still find all the classic stuff you expect from the Black. Staff is always friendly, owner is funny as hell... Support local business

I walked in here randomly yesterday to kill some time (I'd describe it as a gentleman's store: cigars and pipes and general man-cave goodness) and saw they had a couple of displays full of zippos. Struck up a conversation with the 3 gentlemen there about my collecting hobby and discovered these were really nice guys. Felt very genuine and there was no rush or pressure to buy something. I'm going back for some aromatic pipe tobacco just for nostalgia... And good company.

This it's one of the most famous head shops in US. Great fun. Great goofy stuff. Wonderful books. Clothing. And of course lots of mj accessories.
