Funny Monk Emporium

Funny Monk Emporium has been serving Philadelphia since 2012, and the word around the city is that this crew genuinely knows their stuff. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the staff isn't out to upsell you or make a quick buck. One regular put it plainly: the Funny Monk crew is the real deal with quality products and top-tier customer service. If you want a name to ask for, Aubrey has a reputation for steering people toward exactly the right piece at the right price.

The glassware is what pulls a lot of people in. Locals describe a shop full of both manufactured and artistic glass, the kind of place where you could spend an hour just admiring the pieces on display. There's something for every price point, plus water pipes, and folks say the prices hold up well against what you'd find elsewhere. Puffco owners in particular swear by this shop, since they keep the rigs and the accessories fully stocked and stand behind what they sell.

Beyond glass, they carry a deep run of rolling papers and wraps, with the selection changing often so there's usually something new to check out. Hookah and shisha, vapes, cigarettes, and a growing lineup of CBD and hemp products round out the shelves. One nice touch we've heard about: someone forgot an item at checkout and the person working sent them home with a sample so they could figure out what they actually needed. That's the kind of place this is.

There's also a fun streak to the store. People come in for interesting gifts, tapestries, and even the odd Gritty t-shirt, which feels right for a Philly shop. If you're looking for a tobacco shop in Philadelphia where the folks behind the counter actually care, Funny Monk Emporium earns the loyalty of the regulars who visit several times a week.
