Brothers Boutique

Brothers Boutique has built a strong following in Cleveland, and the word around town is that the service is what keeps people coming back. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point to the folks behind the counter first. One local walked in wanting his first vaporizer and was ready to spend on a pricey model, but the guy helping him steered him toward one that cost less and was easier to use, plugged into the car, and had two chambers for tobacco and incense.

That kind of honest, patient guidance is the reputation this shop runs on. The selection covers a lot of ground. You'll find vapes and vaporizers, glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes, and a full range of smoking accessories.

As one regular put it, they've got "all your paraphernalia," and people appreciate that the store is clean, well organized, and easy to shop. The person working the counter comes up again and again as knowledgeable and friendly, the sort who takes the time to make sure you leave with the right thing rather than the most expensive thing. New owners have taken over, and locals have been genuinely pleased with the direction, with one calling them "the best in the world." The environment gets praise for being welcoming, though we've heard the occasional grumble about feeling rushed on a busy day.

The main wish we hear is that they'd open on Sundays. There's also a bit of local lore worth mentioning: the quarter glued to the floor at the original Broadway spot still catches people to this day. If you're after a tobacco shop in Cleveland where the staff actually help you figure out what you need, Brothers Boutique earns its solid standing with folks around here.
