Dave Market Smoke & Vape

Dave Market Smoke & Vape is one of those neighborhood spots on Grand Avenue in Phoenix that does a little bit of everything. It's a small store, but the shelves are packed, and people who stop in for cigarettes, vapes, and disposables usually walk out with a few other odds and ends too. As one regular put it, it's "like a little Oasis on Grand avenue," a place where you can actually find what you need in an area that doesn't have many options.

What locals really talk up here is the people. Ask anyone who shops here and the same thing comes up: the folks behind the counter are genuinely kind and treat regulars like family. "Very sweet people you will ever meet" is how one shopper described them, and that warmth keeps people coming back.

The vibe is calm and quiet, and the prices stay fair, which folks in the neighborhood clearly appreciate. Beyond the smoke and vape side, this is a full little corner market. Word around Phoenix is they carry beer, soft drinks, fountain drinks, snacks, ice cream, household basics, and even cooked food, including pizza that a few regulars swear is some of the best around.

We'll be straight with you: a couple of people have grumbled about the vape selection being thinner than expected and hours not always matching what's posted, so it's worth a call ahead if you're making a special trip. Still, for a friendly, well-priced spot that covers a lot of ground on Grand Avenue, most people who walk through the door leave happy.
