College Spark Smoke Shop

If you shop at College Spark Smoke Shop in Kendall, chances are you already know Joel. His name comes up more than anyone's around here, and for good reason. People who shop here swear by the way he takes the time to explain what he's recommending, whether that's a new disposable vape or something he thinks will suit you better than what you came in for. One regular walked out not just with a vape but with the whole science behind it explained, and came back happy.

That's the kind of service that keeps folks loyal. Joel isn't the only reason to stop by, though. Ask anyone who shops here and Dean, Eli, and Amanda all get their share of praise too. Amanda in particular has turned a couple of neighbors into regulars just by being welcoming and genuinely knowing the products on the shelves.

The word around Miami is that everyone behind this counter is honest when they recommend something, which is not always a given. The selection covers a lot of ground. You'll find vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, disposables, cigars, hookah and shisha, glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, and the smaller accessories that round out a trip. Locals will tell you they've always managed to find what they came looking for, which says something about how well the place is stocked.

This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops in the area, and it earns that quietly. It's a chill, friendly neighborhood spot that more people should know about, tucked in a corner of Kendall with a colada stand right next door. One regular summed it up simply: "the shop we needed." If you're after a smoke shop in Miami where the staff actually knows you by name, this is an easy one to recommend.
