Level Up Smoke Shop

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you Level Up Smoke Shop has earned its name. Over near 67th and Glendale, this is one of the highest-rated smoke shops around, and the reputation holds up once you walk in. The vibe is easygoing, the shelves stay stocked, and the crew genuinely knows what they're talking about. People who shop here keep coming back for exactly that combination of good energy and real help. The selection is what folks around Glendale rave about.

You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, a big spread of glass from everyday pipes to high-end pieces and water pipes, hookahs and shisha, rolling papers and wraps, and all the accessories that go with them. Brands like Cheech and Hemper come up when regulars talk about what they've picked up here. If they don't have what you're after, the team will track it down and order it in. As one regular put it, it's worth the drive no matter where you're coming from. The people are a big part of the draw.

Chino gets named again and again for knowing his products cold and having everything ready when you call ahead. Matt gets shout-outs for the warm welcome, Mac for taking care of whatever you came in for, and Roxy for a positive attitude that makes first-timers feel at home. Cody, one of the owners, gets the same "chill, down-to-earth" description that seems to follow this whole crew around. Since the change in ownership, locals say the team has only gotten better at looking after people. The late hours are a real convenience in this part of Glendale, where not much stays open that long.

We'll be straight with you: we've heard the odd grumble about a rough interaction, but that's the exception against a steady stream of people calling this their favorite spot. For a smoke shop in Glendale with a deep selection and staff who actually care, this one comes highly recommended.
