Home Blown Glass

This place is the spot in Santa Cruz. Just came in last minute and had Rick open the door after closing. Came in Super clutch and I didn’t have to spend money in one of the sub par glass shops that are all up and down pacific.

Only bought a cape pen charger here but I did look around and everything is super fairly priced, dude working was awesome.

Wholesale prices, hand blown guaranteed. Not many smoke shops truly care for quality product as much as this place does.
Also, manager is pretty cool guy.

I am here on vacation from the NorthEast. This was the best glass shop I have ever been in. The prices are amazing and the staff was fantastic. I had a girl named Jess help me make my decision. She was knew so much about the pieces and had an awesome attitude. I will recommend the shop to everyone I know traveling and my buddies that live out here.

Great store. Great prices. Kinda small selection, but quality makes up for that. Dude behind the counter was patient and answered all my questions. I’d give it five starts if it wasn’t so dang hard to find. It’s on the side street. Wutevs. That’s my fault a little. Also I figured who better to ask where to get my grub on than a dude at a glass shop… wrong…lol.

The glass pieces here are gorgeous! Many of them were like nothing I have ever seen before, and they have a great variety and price range. Jesse and Carston are super friendly and knowledgeable and were able to tell me all about the artists too. I especially loved the pipe with the Alice in Wonderland Caterpillar. I’m definitely making this my new shop for all of my glass.

So I went in there after work intending to just look around at some dope tubes, but of course i walked out of there with a sick hand worked one of a kind piece that was retailing for 600 bucks and i got it for 450 playaaa! This is my third piece that i have purchased from their store and my collection is rapidly growing. Im going to finish this review with saying that i would recommend anyone who’s looking for a pretty killer deal on a dope ass tube to go in there and get hooked up. Happy ripping

The guys here were very knowledgeable and we’re able to help us, and give us exactly what we wanted. They have a greatest selection and BEST QUALITY! We’ll definitely be coming back!

I, myself don’t have any knowledge of glass and pieces but my boyfriend wanted to come here while we were in the area for Labor Day weekend.
This place is a little hidden and the shop itself is very small. There wasn’t a lot to choose from and my boyfriend wanted to see more options. I was watching a video on the TV of someone making glass which is pretty cool, while the bae was looking around. I’ve always wanted to watch someone do that in person.

Long story-​short…
The glass work here will impress everyone you bring here, Jerome Baker would be smiling at some of the larger items on the back wall. This isn’t an ordinary shop.
You don’t find these beauties, you get lucky to know of them.
I say that we just crown this the king of glass in SC…
Glass-​tender by the name of Cheyenne was ultra-​informative, helpful, and made the purchase very easy.
A return for a larger HVY is unquestionable– the selection was pure eye candy.

Our first time here and we left with big smiles. David hooked us up for hubbys birthday with a free wrap and a nice discount. He even allowed us to bring our dog in. Place is very clean and staff is beyond friendly and Dave really helped us find the right piece. :) yes we will definitely be back and first timers should definitely stop in.
The place is right off Pacific and next to the 1010 Pacific apartments entrance. Us idiots literally walked around the building looking for it when we were actually across the street.

The waterpipe I bought here was on sale for $ 100 and had two percs and an ice catch. The guy even threw in a free ash catcher probably because I was conversational. What I like about this shop is it is small and they don’t bother carrying low quality products like cheap glass or acrylic. I named my piece «Slayer» because that was the band that was playing when I went in the store. Thanks guys!

I have to give this place 5 stars for their customer service. I purchased a pipe from them which ended up cracking the next day, and they happily exchanged it for me.
They have a sign up that says «All Sales Final» but I imagine that’s to deter flaky teenagers/​students.

Home Blown Glass Delivers once again.
Been a loyal customer since discovering this place a few years ago and keep coming back every time. Never disappointed and always happy with the awesome prices and customer service and of course their selection of pieces, water pipes and glass art. Casey and Riley helped me out with awesome and amazing customer service and secured me a sweet deal with an awesome HBG piece. Totally stoked on it and got an awesome deal. Most definitely will be coming back again soon…
Any person looking for a new piece or a gift for a patient, friend, or loved one this is the place to go.
Home Blown Glass thanks yo

STOKED on this place!!!
ALWAYS hooks their customers up!!!
Went in there this past week & met a tender named Casey who was amazingly friendly even thou we showed up @ 8:50 when they close @ 9 on most weekdays… We were totally serious about purchasing a new piece & we werent just browsing — I I had been waiting months to go back to HBG…
Anyhow, Casey helped us out super quick, had no problem showing us everything we wondered about and he was knowledgeable about the items we inquired about… We left with our pockets empty which is what I intended but our faces full of smiles… and that made everything all the better!!! We had a couple little parting gifts that he comped for us & we were stoked to go back and buy more just cause the experience was completely positive!!!
The first experience a couple months ago was practically the same as the second, thus the reason I had to mention it on here… Its not often now days that you run into a new employee at a place and they give you the same kind service you received the first time… gives faith to those who return for that reason… The management team obviously know what they’re doing when choosing their staff… Therefore they are probably doing plenty other things correctly too, this place has great all around aspects.
The Artist is superior, there is nothing but Beautiful Glassware, Water Pipes & Pieces, straight Home Blown Glass is what it is!

the level of customer service was outstanding compared to similar shops in the area. i was really impressed & would go back again.

Great place! Superb customer service. Would go back time and time again. Thanks H.B.G.

They push their HBG brand far too much… Really weak asian glass being used. Any shop with those new fake roors i can never get down with either. They have a very limited pipe and slide collection (i collect heady slides).
Staff is friendly for sure but they lack knowledge. They do glass repair poorly as well. They charged me $ 80ish if memory serves me correct. Did work on a prototype green shadow label king roor (9 mill). They make you clean them out way too much when all the resin just melts off during the process anyways lol.
Honestly go to Scott’s shop where the old glass roots used to be. He has a large store. He owns US Tubes (very good quality american glass), knows many blowers in the bay area and has an extremely extensive collection of heady glass from famous glass artists like El Hefe, Lurch, Kenaroo, Mike Fro, etc.
Think it is called Necessary Things or something like that. You will not be let down and he can work with you on prices.
Main issue with this shop is that the owner lives in Santa Rosa and only comes in once a week. That is your day to go and buy something big because the workers at the shop i don’t think are allowed to haggle with you. Personally if a place is not willing to talk prices with me then i feel as if they are not taking my business seriously. If you’re reading this owner, you gotta allow your workers to do that or people like me just wont take your shop too seriously…
Also the roortech’s need to go… That isnt roor us or even sheldon black /​dementia making those it is zob (asian glass).

I guess I am a snob. This place is listed as a high end glass shop. No high end glass in sight. Do not refer to water pipes as bongs for some reason. It’s like they are not aware that cannabis is medically legal in CA? To me, high end are the scientific glass blowers found on ALT and Kulture or concentrate rigs… They didn’t have any because of the implications. WTF?! Glad I was already downtown and didn’t really waste any time. Pipeline around the corner has way better glass. But I always get the best deals at Star Zone in Seabright. Today I got a concentrate hot hit slide and glass rod for $ 20 from Star Zone. The same in all the other stores in Santa Cruz would have run me $ 10 for the Rod and $ 30 – 40 for the bowl.

Honestly my favorite and only place in Santa Cruz I go to for my smoking needs. They carry some great shisha! And the glass pipes are incredible, you won’t be able to resist.
