Very bad selection of products, if u want a new pipe that looks just like everyone's else's this is the place, had no customers and can see why, overpriced for the quality of products they sold, staff was not helpful, and I think they are trying to hard to empress someone that does not know what the are looking for? read more

I consider myself a THC drink connoisseur of sorts, and I'm always eager to try something new. Walking into Hideaway, I was struck by the bright lighting and glossy wooden floors. The staff was super friendly and helpful-- the security guard by the front led me to the selection of edibles and THC drinks. While there wasn't a huge variety, I was pleased to see Minnesotan brands represented. I ended up grabbing a Sex on the Beach imitation drink. It was $9, which I think is reasonable-- my rule for THC drinks is that I won't spend more than I'd spend on a drink at a brewery. And considering that it had 10 mg (2 servings), I think that was a pretty good deal. read more

HIDE AWAY YOUR BUSINESS FROM HIDEAWAY, all of the locations have plummeted in quality and clearly the hiring manager isn't doing their due diligence of making sure they hire capable employees. across the board i have heard that there is poor customer service; employees are rude, apathetic, or just straight up lacking empathy. as for products, the wraps i've purchased literally crumble upon opening, i've heard that they've sold faulty vapes, glass pieces are bland and ugly, and everything is overpriced! support other local business who work hard for customers to actually have a good experience. read more

The staff at the store in Dinkytown could not be any less interested in actually providing customer service. I went there to purchase a few items and the entire time they made me feel like I was bothering them and that I was a burden. Screw that. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Barbie keeps trying to film me naked on HD film. I'm like, "put your HD away!" This is unrelated to that. So this is where the good boys go to Hideaway? I'm not impressed. You'd have to be in Daya straits to think this was a good place to spend your $$. Mid-price and sometimes high-priced products for people who are addicted to all of this stuff that generally kills you and cancers you up a lot faster than you would normally die from all the other stuff that kills you which is most of what is around us. Having said that the guys in here are nice so I can't trash them too much. Just their products EWWW. Right in the middle of the college neighbourhood (should be banned) right where it shouldn't be (gtfo) and one of the reasons why the entire Campus of the University of Minneapolis always smells like some form of tobacco or vaping (get the hell out) and don't set foot in here like we did because one of our friends is addicted to the stuff (her problem, ewwww, never making out with her again, had no idea the first time). The entire Place stinks of everything you don't want it to unless you're an addict too. I sympathize with you but keep it in your own home or keep your damn car windows up. But they're locally-owned so I won't give them the worst of the worst rating. read more

Hideaway - Where do the good boys go to - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

They will mark prices lower than they actually are to trick you into buying their stuff. have been charged $45 for a product marked $35 MANY times and they refuse to give any sort of refund or compensation for THEIR MISTAKE. terrible business. it's a scam -- DO NOT GO!! read more

I'm amused that they call themselves "The Hideaway" because absolutely nothing is hidden. The second you enter you're surround by pipes, hookahs and other contorted glass thingys in well-lit cases. I came in on the hunt for a hookah and instead of feeling overwhelmed by the vast selection, my roommate and I were asked by 3 different employees if we needed any assistance. I ended up finding exactly what I was looking for: a baby hookah ($15!) and some wild mint shisha. The saleswoman informed us of the buy one, get one half off tobacco sale, so we also left with another flavor that's an apparent customer favorite. In summary: Huge selection. Great service. Glad I finally stopped in! read more

Hideaway - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

If I could rate the Hideaway Dinkeytown lower, I would. I am an avid glass collector and I am very knowledgeable about artists, styles, and glass types. I only bring this up because i definitely know what I am looking for and usually dont need to ask a bunch of questions, nor do i make the employees remove every piece from the cases because they are cool. Every time i go into hideaway i am met with employees that have much more entitlement and attitude than knowledge or customer service skills. Yesterday i went in to make a large purchase, tax return season meant i can get a new Brandon Martin piece or a nice Micro rig. I decided on the micro rig(expensive) and i went to the counter and asked the girl behind the counter (short, long brown hair, 2 nose rings) if they had any pelican cases (for the rig) and she says "umm..." and looks at the backpacks on the wall. So i asked "do you kniw what pelican cases are? They are hard cases with foam" She then audibly scoffed and rudely said "yeah, I work here. God, do you know to not be rude?" To which I just said "yeah, no thanks" I then went to Legacy and bought a different rig. Thanks to this rude girl you guys lost a big sale. And thanks to this being the latest of many similar experiences you lost a customer for good. I have bout many pens, accessories, rigs, pipes, and pendants here over the years. You aren't the only show in town anymore, you need to focus on service. Artists are leaving you already, don't lose us real collectors too. read more

Hideaway used to be the best shop to pickup any kind of devices you may need. These days management and staff have become beyond complacent. I called in yesterday looking for a particular product they promised me was in stock and in store. After driving out I'm told they aren't allowed to sell that product to me at all. Completely unprofessional. BUYER BEWARE Go to LEGACY GLASSWORKS. They won't rip you off! For frame of reference I'd been going to hideaway since I was 18. I have spent thousands at their establishment but that doesn't seem to matter to management. They treat their customers like trash and they've ruined their reputation along the way. read more

I recently stopped in and after discovering the free parking in the back, my only real complaint has been sufficed. The 3 young staff were knowledgeable and friendly and greeted me upon entering. The store was extremely clean and you should expect to spend at least 20 minutes to just see everything. You can find a cheap lighter or expensive art pieces and it's right next door to a good burrito spot, what more could you want? Ask for Luna! read more

Hideaway is amazing. THE Minnesota smoke shop as I'm sure many would attest to. I've also received great service; I was looking to buy a Minnesota Legit item a few months ago and the man (forgot his name--early twenties, lighter hair, etc.) was incredibly helpful and easy to talk to/ask questions. I ended up using his recommendations and I ended up loving my purchase. A brunette woman with glasses (I should really remember names) was helping me the other day and was great as well. The selection of glass is phenominal and, even if you're not buying anything, you can still be entertained by just looking over everything they have. The store isn't too big but it is packed with merch. Basically, Hideaway is a smoke shop on steroids--I highly recommend it! read more

We visited this shop yesterday to purchase a juul. We were immediately greeted by a kind helpful gentleman who went by the name "Boofin Brandon." He informed us of multiple options and drew our attention to a beautiful rose gold "Rubi" He weighed the pros and cons about the two devices and made great recommendations! He even helped us set it up. We love the rubi! Great customer service and even greater guy!!! Ps. Carl you were pretty cool too - A & C read more

Apparently there is a store policy that says the people who work there can be complete ass holes. My girlfriend asked whether they sell weed there and they became complete ass holes asking us to leave. We didn't know that they had a story policy that was written in fine print somewhere in the store that prohibits us from asking that question. If the sign was visible then we would't have asked. What was funny, as we were walking out someone asked the same thing and guess what? Automatic response by the clerks was to do what? That's right, become ass holes. Why the store policy is designed for the clerks to becomes rude ass holes instead of politely saying something like "No we don't sell weed here and our products are designed for tobacco use only" is beyond me. What is wrong with that instead of turning into complete dicks? Terrible service. Go somewhere else, there are plenty of shops that sell this kind of paraphernalia and are ok with talking about weed because everyone knows that's what it's for especially when they put weed emblems on their merchandise. Geez I wonder what marijuana leaf on this pipe means but we can't say anything about it even rhetorically. What kind of hypocrites are these store owners anyway? Unbelievable. read more

Never going here again. This place tried To kick me out cause I'm an Asian American. Their customer service is the worse!!! Don't go here there are plenty of other places where you will be treat s with . read more

Great place and love the staff! Anyone can find something, wide variety of price and style. Parking can be hard but hey it's Dinkytown, don't use that one lot behind it anymore they actually tow cars now. The only bad review about this place is from someone who asked the staff if they sell weed there *face palm* read more

I don't know where the owner finds these people but they have the mental capacity of a drunk eight-year-old I swear to God every time I ask about some thing they have no clue what the hell is going on. I was told that they had a product and I made sure that they double checked and had them put it to the side for me and drove 45 miles to come out here and get it only to be told I was wrong and didn't call them. Talk about complete Idiocracy. What a waste of time read more

Went in to look at water pipes with a friend. Saw a 15.99 hookah kit, and thought I'd be nostalgic. Honestly, I should've known better but I've always had such good luck with everything here. Come on guys, couldn't you have at least told me it actually won't even work? There was dust in the hoses, none of the separate pieces connect together...it's not about the money. It's the last hour I spent hoping I could smoke some of my hookah! I didn't need quality, but I needed it to work. I also bought an additional thing of shisha that'll now go to waste. I'm pretty bummed. He told me it was perfect for a beginner. Well. I'm not a beginner and I can't fix it!! Also, I inhaled dust...yum. UPDATE: Someone immediately contacted me regarding my issue, and we resolved it how we could. Pleasant and attentive, and though I'd have loved that to happen in store, it was literally resolved within 24 hours. That's attentive customer service, and I appreciate it 5 stars worth! read more

Currently sitting outside of the store in the cold. Supposed to be open almost 30 minutes ago. There are two employees also standing out here who can't get. "They are like waiting for their manager and like can't get ahold of him in the group chat" Very unprofessional. Really great to come all the way across town and waste all this time for nothing. Wally sucks. Hideaway sucks. read more

I was in the market for a new one hitter, so I stopped by here when husband and I were done getting chicken fingers at Raisin' Cane's a few doors over. Walking into the store was amazing. I'd never seen a smoke shop as big as this. The whole front room was their tobacco selections, mostly shisha and cigarettes. Seeing packs of Djarum clove cigarettes made me feel nostalgic for my younger days when you could still smoke in bars and then sick because clove cigarettes are disgusting. I did not inhale. We walked into the back and there was a huge selection of glassware. I couldn't even figure out where the hell to look, even after the lady behind the counter told me where I should be. Most of the pipes were made in China, but they did have a small selection of locally-made glassware (with prices to match). Further down the line and all the way in the back were crack pipes. Fucking disgusting. But whatever... crackheads gonna crack. I chose a small pink glass pipe (NOT crack pipe... I am far too fat to be a crackhead) for $10 and went on my merry way. All in all, super impressed with the selection and the price and I'd visit again. read more

aaaaaaalright i used to absolutely love hideaway like i have actually spent thousands of dollars at this location before i realized that royal tobacco is way cheaper and has much better service. oh and a return policy that isn't super specific; a receipt is absolutely essential when you return the item, which would be fine if (1) they gave you a receipt more than 40% of the time and (2) told you that when you purchased the item. i have actually bought so many things from hideaway that break within a few days of me buying it and i can't return it because i don't have the receipt they never gave me. me and all my stoner friends will no longer be supporting this business. read more

Great selection- shady employees Hideaway has everything you'd need. Know the rules- no pics, no weed talk or stoner slang. Employees are helpful but easilly upset- mostly hippy girls with dreads (do not offend their style or have an attitude) Be chill, find what you need, & enjoy the culture of shopping at Hideaway read more

I drove 15 min to find a girl with blue hair and more piercings then years lived on this planet! Young immature and rude! Ended up walking out with my money. Called then manager Ken and told him I would be leaving bad feedback. He offered me 10% off which was hardly worth the trouble. -rude customer service -pay to park -wait for service -high prices read more

Such amazing stuff and such friendly staff. How could I ever complain??? We totally go here every time we are in town, whether we need anything or not! read more

This was in the Mall of America store, which is not on Yelp, so this'll have to do. So there's 3 employees in the store and 2 of us customers when I walk in. Both of us customers are being ignored by the employees who are out front. Eventually an employee from way in the back shouts out "can I help you guys?" Kudos to her for doing the other lazy employees' jobs. The other customer who was there first then talks with her. I have to say "excuse me" to get the one girl working out front's attention. When I ask her if you sell pipes here she replies "we don't have any glass." Mind you, there are glass devices everywhere in the store so who knows wtf she's talking about. I ask her the same question and she repeats it saying "Bloomington won't let us sell any glass in this store." I'm wondering if she is a moron or just didn't hear me correctly both times when finally, the intelligent employee from the back of the store (a very short gal) explains that no, they can't sell pipes. I'm like, OK whatever, at least someone in here maybe has half a brain. I leave and say "thank you" to both of them, but neither has the decency to say "you're welcome" or anything, just ignoring me again. It was pretty rude I thought, especially after putting up with the moron employee. It's one thing to be stupid, but to be both rude and stupid is no way to go through life girl, or whatever you identify yourself as. This place sucks and I couldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Holy glass, batman. For some reason it's hard to find a headshop that can maintain class and more importantly, organization. The Hideaway has both of these down pat. It's very easy to look around at all of the different pieces. Yes, overwhelming, but categorized and displayed attractively. They also have an impressive selection of hookahs and uniquely crafted hiding mechanisms for...goodies. I could have spent hours upon hours drooling all over the pretty blown glass from local artists. They really do a good job of collaborating and selling work from artists in the Minneapolis area, which I enjoy. Lots of giveaways and opportunities to get discounts, from what I can see on their Facebook page. The staff is awesome, down to earth, and helpful. Top notch place. read more

I go here for Hookah stuff and they have great shisha selection (get FANTASIA if you're unfamiliar !) and also their coals are well priced and a great variety - everyone has their favorite coals of course, and they happen to carry mine. Enjoy! read more

Stopped in here and was surprised at how friendly and helpful all of the staff was. Excellent service, a loyalty program and fair prices. I will be back! read more

Went in a few days ago for help with my e-cig box mod. A young man named Andrew spent about 20 minutes helping me out. He took the thing apart, got it fixed, put it back together, and was generally awesome. read more

I moved from MN to Seattle a couple years ago, and I must say that Seattle doesn't have anything on Hideaway. I felt like I needed to update my first review to let people know that this store is truly the best. You would assume a big city could top this chain of stores, however I have been severely disappointed with most head shops in the Pacific Northwest. I went back to MN this last January and then again in May, I made sure I had time to stop in to Hideaway and look at their great selection before I left. Bought a couple pieces to bring with me back to Seattle, to show my friends that THERE IS BETTER GLASS. MN Legit/Hideaway, thank you for the great selection. I will always find time to stop and shop when I'm in MN :) read more

Hideaway responded to my review on their Facebook page and asked for me to send them an email regarding my negative experience at their store so they could fix it ("because they didn't want to lose a long time customer of over 5 years"). I emailed them, and I did not receive a reply. I commented on their Facebook page again informing them that I sent them the email which they asked me to send; they asked that I send them "my email" as a facebook message instead. Guess what- no response as well!! I tried to write a comment on the same post again and they removed reviews and comments from their Facebook page! What a world class organization that doesn't follow through on their commitments to customers! I would like to thank Hideway; my horrible experience at your store was actually a blessing in disguise because I found "www.hookah-shisha.com"; not only do they carry an enormous amount of quality inventory, but also costs 30-70% less than Hideaway! Don't waste your time shopping at a store that doesn't give a crap about you (customers); order online and save money! The best part of that is that you don't have to deal with their unprofessional staff of clowns employed there! read more

Everything is great here love everything I've ever purchased. Good costumer service and all pretty chill environment and so much too look at . I'm a small town girl and this smoke shop is the biggest I've been too . Lol read more

Best pipe shop in MN hands down!!! Great selection with plenty of choices at all price ranges. I bought a sidecar from here for 30 and most people guess I paid around 100 for it. If your around dinky town and looking for some new glass this place is the only ne I'd recommend. And to the idiots that asked if they sell weed. Your going to get grief from any glass shop in MN if asked this question. These are professional establishments that don't participate in illeagal activities. read more

So I will never go to the hideaway again. This place has terrible customer service, and many of their employees seem to have no idea what they're talking about. Whoever the owner is seems to think that having an attractive female that knows very little about what they're peddling working behind the counter (this last trip there was the only time I've ever seen someone behind the counter that wasn't an attractive woman under the age of 24) is better than having someone who actually knows what they're talking about working for them. Of course someones sex or age really has nothing to do with knowledge of the products being sold, but knowledge isn't what the owner seems to be looking for when hiring someone. It seems pretty misogynistic to only only hire women if they're considered to be pretty, and it's kind of messed up if your goal in hiring people is to make them something to stare at in the store, and that's definitely what this person is doing. read more

Sold me a juul that didn't work walked back and they refused to refund me. 0 stars horrible service.

Best quality glass, unbeatable prices, insane sales! You will not find a better headshop east of Colorado or California. Local company "Legit" makes pretty awesome pieces. Long live the hideaway and its many locations! read more

Love this location, recently had a very pleasant experience finding a new water piece with the help of a friendly pink haired employee, couldn't be happier with the piece and experience and I'll be back next time I need a new piece. Also love the vibes of the store. Hideaway rules! read more

I have been going to this place for years. I live down the street and feel comfortable every time I go in there. Today was different. There is a girl who works there who has a very bad haircut and horribly yellow/ rotting teeth. I had been waiting for about 15 minutes for someone to help answer some questions about oil vaporizers vs. dry tobacco vaporizers. I was very prepared to spend a good amount of money there and was planning on buying one. This girl with the bad hair and teeth came over to try and help and was nothing but rude. She automatically assumed I was trying to inquire about there compatible use with an illegal controlled substance. I was only curious about how oil tobacco produces a hit/taste differently then dry. She kept insulting my lack of being informed on these topics and she lost a considerable sale. I was also planning on buying some hookah stuff. Is her $7.25 an hour really worth it to this business when she is loosing potentially a hundred dollars in a matter of less then 20 minutes? I left embarrassed and angry. Probably not going back, there are PLENTY of good head shops in the area for me to spend my money at. Been in the service industry for 5 years. Get your teeth and hair fixed. read more

I absolutely love the hideaway. They just do it right. Their prices are good, selection even better. Went in on Black Friday for the 40%/50% off/BOGO sale and scored some nice smoking lamps. My friend got a waterpipe there for 60 bucks! I just went for some cheap smoking accessories and some other stuff. read more

December 6, 2016 I have, on multiple occasions, made purchases from this establishment wherein I encountered no problem. However, yesterday, Monday, 12/5/2016, I was treated in a condescending, insulting, and sarcastic manner by staff, when I inquired as to why (on this occasion) I was being required to present identification (ID) simply in order to make a cash purchase of one small package of NAG CHAMPA incense. I had worked in retail customer relations as a supervisor / manager, for many years before the staff with whom I was dealing with yesterday WERE EVEN BORN; and subsequently, as a former university instructor / faculty member, I am cognizant of the importance of dealing with customers with DIGNITY and RESPECT, not ARROGANCE and SARCASM. During that incident yesterday, I decided that my right to privacy was far more important than purchasing incense from The Hideaway store in Dinkytown, and I simply left and went to a different establishment to make my purchase. Henceforth, I shall continue to take my business elsewhere. I hope that other customers will not go through what I experienced yesterday at the The Hideaway store in Dinkytown, southeast Minneapolis.
