Smoke And Gift

Best price, excellent customer service and wide selections on my smoke needs. They got it all as a smoke shop on telegraph for me.

Hari was extremely helpful and steered me in the right direction — towards getting a Pax. I have some issues with my lungs, and there’s no way I should be inhaling hot smoke, and he explained that honestly, although expensive, this is your best bet. I actually went ahead and got the Pax 2. I’ve just used it, it is amazing, lungs feel fine. Thanks, Hari.

Originally I bought a cheaper Wolf mod here. It sucked. It never worked. This was not the owner’s fault. He tried to get me to buy the Pax. He even showed me how much tobacco he could pack in there and how smooth it was… but I wanted to save money so he suggested this. I should have listened. Anyway, I take the vaporizer home and charge the thing. It never turns on. I call the company and get the worst service possible. My partner calls the smoke shop and they say to bring it back if I haven’t used it. I speak to a woman who I am assuming is the guy’s wife. She asks me if I used it and inspects it. I somewhat jokingly say to her, «why do you guys sell this crap? this version of their product has horrible reviews online.» She laughs. We work it out that they will take the cheap vape back and charge me the difference for the Pax. It worked out smoothly. I was very happy. I also bought some incense from them. They have a great selection of incense. They also have some cool clothes and other products. Nice little local smoke shop with great service.
I noticed that there is also a medical cannabis dispensary a few doors down and another smoke shop. If you are looking for something to use to take your medicine, go here and not the one a little further down. They are cheaper and friendlier.

Hari won’t sell you anything that he doesn’t think you need. He’ll ask you questions till he knows what you actually want. Very up-​to-​date knowledge of product. Large dabs-​rigs to bubblers to vape pens to one-​hitters, he’s got a reasonable selection of everything in between. Prices are significantly below the average in that area.

We had a fantastic customer service experience here, not something I’ve come to expect from smoke shops. The staff was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel comfortable and informed about our purchase. I’d reccomend this place to anyone and will return!

I had the full customer experience here– Hari was very knowledgeable about the different products and helped me select the best vaporizer for my needs. Even after, when I ran into a couple problems at home, I gave Hari a call and he walked me through the whole process and made sure everything was alright.
The level of care you receive here is unbelievable, be it during or after the transaction. I would definitely come back here again!

I got my first electronic hookah from here! The owner was nice enough to walk me through the loading and charging of my hookah. He even offered to charge it for me while I shopped (had to pass on that). I really appreciate the time and advice because I was completely lost; admittedly walking in on a whim.

This is, hands down, the best smoke shop in ALL of Berkeley. I have lived in SF, OAK and BERK collectively for over 6 years and consider myself a connoisseur of fine gifts. Hari’s shop not only has the best selection of fine tobacco and medical cannabis consumption products but also plenty of counter-​culture friendly gifts. He always makes the customer feel comfortable in the store and has a vast knowledge of tobacco and e-​cigarette products.
You’ll never feel rushed or stared at like you’re a thief as I’ve experienced in other shops. A true value to the businesses of Berkeley. The shop owner is non-​judgmental and always honest when I’ve asked about his ability to match competing shop’s pricing. He sold me a Volcano vaporizer for $ 100 less than a shop just down Telegraph Ave!
Come here if you want kind-​karma service instead of being treated like a street rat like some of the other shops in the area treat their customers. You’ll find more high-​quality tobacco and medical herb products here rather than mass amounts of cheap Chinese-​imported glass. Many local brands like Plume and PAX and high end vaporizers to choose from.
PS They also sell some snacks and drinks which has come in handy from time to time when on the rush to a JAM session1 ;)

This place is awesome! It’s affordable and has great hours. The man behind the counter gave me great advice on what E-​Cigarette to buy.

Best shop in Berkeley. They’ve got the most affordable deals. Also the owner is knowledagle and friendly. That’s a great added bonus.

Absolutely wonderful shop! Hari always offers a warm greeting and a smile to go with it. Absolutely wonderful man. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Hari for the care you give to your customers. I’ll see you soon!

Nice, honest owner, good products. I gave the owner a $ 100 by mistake thinking it was a $ 10. He returned me the money and said «you gave me too much». Wow! Stop in and say hello to Hari for me.

Extremely helpful, kind, and courteous staff! Competitive prices and always willing to help! Hari and his sons are beyond helpful in assisting me with any questions, or concerns I have with a product and never cease to throw in awesome little perks with each purchase. Of all smoke shops in the Bay I will only buy from them, they are all around QUALITY! Thank you guys :)

This guy was so nice and helpful!

On the 19^th of this month my friend and I wanted to get a birthday gift for our mutual friend so we looked up this place on Unilocal and decided to take her here. So glad we did!
They had a nice selection and we bought four pieces that day (two for my friend and two for myself — they had an elephant pipe! My favorite animal…) all for a great price.
Hari was super nice and helped us out with all our questions (and gave us a little extra gift!). When ever I’m in the area I am definitely going back to Smoke and Gift!

Friendly customer service and reasonable prices!

Hari is awesome. He knows what he’s talking about and really hooks up his customers. I come out here all the way from Oakland all the time

I came in one afternoon to get a pipe. Great selection, beautiful pieces. Hari, the owner, and his wife and son were very friendly. The family is from Nepal and chatted with me about their journey here and opening the business. Very kind folk and a great establishment!

This place is amazing. So wonderful. He has anything and everything one could ever want from a smoke shop, from bongs to bitching t shirts. And not to mention, the owner is a friendly dude. Five stars!!!

If you’re a hookaholic like me, then this place is perfect. Absolutely the best prices around for shisha or coals. Since I found it, its now the only place I go for hookah supplies.
They also had some gorgeous hookahs for sale and the manager was very nice as well. I definitely recommend this place!
