Ace Mini Mart & Smoke Shop

Ace Mini Mart & Smoke Shop is one of those Phoenix spots that quietly earns a loyal crowd, and the folks who shop here will tell you not to be fooled by the "mini mart" in the name. This is a real smoke shop with a real selection. Cigars are a highlight, and locals appreciate that the team keeps the stock fresh and the variety wide.

You'll also find plenty of vapes and disposables, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, cigarettes, and the smaller accessories that round out a trip. Yes, they've got the drinks and snacks to grab on your way out too. The people behind the counter are what regulars talk about most.

Names like Hovac, Cecil, and Sam come up again and again, and one longtime shopper described the couple who run the place as feeling like family every single visit. Ask anyone who stops in weekly and they'll say the service stays on point, the crew is patient about helping you find what works, and they want you happy before you leave. The word around Phoenix is that the prices here are hard to beat, which keeps people coming back.

The shop keeps 24-hour posted hours, which makes it a handy late-night stop, though we've heard the odd occasion where the doors weren't open when someone expected, so it may be worth a quick check if you're rolling through at an unusual time. Locals are also a little split on one evening employee, but the overwhelming take is that the rest of the staff more than makes up for it with genuine warmth. If you're after a friendly, well-stocked smoke shop in Phoenix that's open 24/7, Ace Mini Mart & Smoke Shop is a solid local favorite worth knowing.
