HighTide

No complaints. Solid selection. Local glass, what’s not to like.
Came in over the weekend just as they were closing. Owner stayed open and was super chill — friendly staff.
I’ll def be back whenever I’m in town and told friends about it.
Thanks guys.

Go here to support local and handmade glass art! These people truly care about supporting artists and selling quality pieces made with love and purpose. You can get something from China anywhere but this place has one of a kind pieces! Medical patients get 15% off!

Was visiting SB on a space cholo trip. Stayed with my friend who had an exceptional water pipe. He directed me to its origin. High Tide SB.
I found its duplicate online when I got home from my trip. Ordered it up and I am blowing happy rings with my cats

DO NOT come to this shop for E-​cigarette/​vape supplies. Their staff was not knowledgable of different types of vape oils (Vegetable nicotine? That’s a good one). I was offered a compatible replacement part for my e-​cig, which broke after four uses under normal conditions. If you are an e-​cig/​vape enthusiast, DO NOT give this shop any of your money, or your time.

My favorite glass shop in SB by far! Every time I am in the area I make a stop by high tide. Everyone in there from Will to Carlos is super friendly, and they have an amazing high end glass art selection. Can’t wait for the next show you guys throw, because the Mini Tube Mexer was epic;)

Worst shop I’ve ever been into. I came here because a nice man on State St. recommended this shop. What he didn’t say was that they had the crappiest selection of glass and worse yet, no customer service.
When we arrived the man behind the counter was helping some guys with a vape pen and that’s fine, do what you’re paid to do, but at least acknowledge that someone else, has come into your shop. We wandered around looking at the glass, or lack of, for a good fifteen minutes, still without being acknowledged. No hi, welcome, I’ll be with you… NOTHING.
I guess we weren’t worth his time (there were three of us, all wanting to spend under $ 300 on new stuff) therefore he isn’t worth my money, not that they had any worthy glass anyway.
If you’re looking for china made glass or cheap spoons, do visit. If you want quality glass and quality service go to Fuzion, it’s on State street.
Won’t ever be back.

What a shitty shop! All the bongs are way over price. Their repair service is a joke. They say it will take 2 weeks to fix a joint and after two months I had to get my money back and call it quits. The people working there are lazy potheads that smoke all day in the shop. I have seen a worker there break a bong and blame a customer for not saving it before it hit the ground. Overall bad customer service. I would recommend going to fusion on state to buy new glass and hemp wise in goleta to repair glass

Laid back atmosphere
Friendly sales associates a.k.a. Great customer service which is always a plus
Quality products and the price is right (A++++)
And I am loving the stash jewelry for future concerts/​fests! :)
Did I mention they had pizza, Djs, live music and a keg on their second anniversary and offered a free pipe to the first person to bring them a cake?
YEAH. it doesn’t get ANY BETTER THAN THAT =]
While you may not be a certified smoker, it’s always nice to drop by when your on Gutierrez and say hello!

Moved down to Santa Barbara from Santa Cruz looking for a new good reliable glass blower, since i left mine back home. I walked into High Tide not even two days after it had opened. Since then i periodically stop by to buy some new glass. I have not once been disappointed with the work or the service there. Will, the owner, has such a friendly and welcoming vibe that exhumes amongst his customers. I have never once been in-​n-​out of that store. I love that you can always get caught up in conversation with anyone that works there, and they don’t disregard you unlike many of the other cheap smoke shops around here. I’d have to say it is one of my favorite shops to go to and i will definitely be there in the next few days because all of the glass is so detailed and artistic. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone especially if you have a love for quality made glass as i do!
Thanks High Tide for your great service and great glass.

I’m so happy to have found HighTide in Santa Barbara. High quality functional glass ware is very hard to find in college areas like Santa Barbara which are inevitably flooded in crappy smoke shops. I walked in to this store on a whim, having already made a trip to downtown to check out other shops. I was immediately surprised to see glass by «Sovereignty,» an artist whose work I have only ever seen available on-​line. The owner Wil is an artist himself, and has much of his own work on display. These guys have all of the big names as well.
I was really impressed with the quality of customer service offered at this location. Employees at most other local shops are really just condescending elitists, but Wil was eager to take stuff out and show it to me before I even had an opportunity to demonstrate any knowledge of glass art (which is generally necessary to be taken seriously in a smoke shop). His zeal for great glass work really made my shopping experience pleasurable, and not pressured at all.
I ended up picking up the Sovereignty piece I wanted and Will made me a great deal on it. There was an additional item I was looking for that they didn’t have, so they made one for me in their work shop in the back.
This is definitely my new go-​to place.
