Frolic Upper Darby

Frolic Upper Darby has been part of the local scene for a long time, and people around Upper Darby Township will tell you it earned that reputation the honest way. This is a true head shop with an old-school vibe, the kind of place where you can walk in for a glass slide and end up talking with owner Mark and his son for twenty minutes about the trade. That old feel is part of the draw. As one regular put it, they keep the old vibe alive while still stocking modern and classic smoke wear.

The selection is what keeps folks coming back. You'll find glass pipes and water pipes, vapes and vaporizers, disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, rolling papers, CBD and hemp products, and a full range of smoking accessories. Word around Delco is that they keep the vape juice in stock so regulars are never left without their flavor. Beyond the gear, the shop carries fun extras like classic rock memorabilia, Jerry Garcia shirts and mushroom shorts, which puts it, as one person said, "in its own class." Worth knowing up front: they don't carry loose tobacco or rolling tubes for cigarettes.

Names come up again and again here. Thomas gets folks set up with beautiful glass and turns first-timers into weekly regulars. Doug is known for being knowledgeable without a hint of pushiness, and people mention how clean and welcoming the store is. Mark and his son will happily talk shop and steer you right.

We've heard the occasional grumble about pricing and upsell, but the strong majority walk out happy and recommend it freely, some driving in from a good distance to shop here. If you're after a vape shop or head shop in Upper Darby Township with real character and staff who know their products, Frolic is one of the most well-liked spots around. Stop in, even if only for the nostalgia.
