    Swung by here at the tail end of Mother's Day (not to look for a last second present, I swear) to…read morefinally add some indoor plants to my house. This location resides in one of the many plazas on Convoy and shares the space with a vape shop and coffee shop, which all three I believe are family-owned so just another reason to support. Because Convoy is a bustling area, depending on the time and day, good parking can be a moderate nuisance to find even with all the different parking lots and street parking. Vibe-wise: "Plants. Music. Life. Us." Isa's follows that slogan and has a very dope vibe right off the bat, with a very modern decor and the classics playing in the background. Obviously being a plant shop, they have plants decorated across the store which continues to carry the vibe. Service-wise: Isa runs the shop and was very approachable and helpful. I'm a novice with caring for indoor plants and knowing what plants to begin with, but Isa was super informative and clearly has an understanding of the care needed for all the plants and making the appropriate recommendations. I ended up grabbing two plants: one for myself as the first plant to christen my room, and one for my mom as a not last second Mother's Day gift. They've both settled in and have instantly made our homes brighter. A little miscellaneous: some really cool merch for all three stores is also sold here ranging from clothes to snacks to plant products. I'm a sucker for merchandise from places I like, so I bought a t-shirt and hoodie but probably would've bought the whole selection if I stayed any longer. All jokes aside, in summary, I will definitely keep coming back and not on a holiday so I can keep building on my budding collection of indoor plants, no pun intended. I definitely recommend Isa's for anyone looking to do the same! Sometimes there are deals between the three businesses which I think is cool. I don't partake in vaping so I personally would not try that side of the business, but I do like coffee so I will definitely give that a try next time I'm around.

    Alyssa, the owner, is the best! The most down to earth person with a smile that is so contagious…read more Just her presence itself, you can tell that she loves what she does. This cute little plant shop is conjoined with Quiet Storm Roasters that is additionally family owned to Alyssa. All workers are so knowledgeable and approachable. There is nothing but good vibes and an upbeat environment. I have many friends and family that were bad plant parents, however with the advice of Alyssa all their plants are now thriving! From those who are wanting to become a plant parent, to those plant parents who are more skillful, there are so many unique plants to choose from. The plants are healthy, priced good and all are just so cute. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask Alyssa or any of the other workers. Support this Filipino-Guamanian family operated and women led business! Follow the business on Instagram to see story notifications and posts of new plants, flash sales and deals all on @isasplants If you are in Hillcrest, please do yourself a favor and stop by to check this plant shop out!

    Came here by recommendation. You can see the storefront off convoy, shares the same parking lot…read morewith a bunch of other businesses. So parking was busy. There is a paid parking 2 story structure behind one of the buildings, if you follow the flow of the parking lot, you'll see it. I opted for street parking and had to walk a couple blocks. It's a family owned business, the guy I spoke too was nice and friendly. I came in for the disposable vapes. He seemed knowledgeable and was able to give me recommendations. My friends told me if I purchased multiples- there's a discount. So I took all their orders to create a big order. Here's the flavors we all got: Taurus Galaxy brain Aries Asteroid belt Moon go Pink matter Saturn rings Mars volcano And tropic nebula I've attached the photos of the descriptions. The ones that say "ice" are equivalent to being menthol was my understanding. And I think the guy said he forgot to add "ice" to the Aries description. They're all 5% nicotine. I didn't see the actually word description of the flavors on the box but it does have a photo of the fruits. Also the vapes are different colors. They accept Venmo and it's final sale but if there's an issue, just let them know and I think it's case by case scenario how they remedy situation.

    I used to be a big fan of The Switch Vape Shop down the street so when they closed down I was going…read moreto all sorts of different places and made an effort to avoid this place because Orbit originally used to be a wack vape shop with a creepy predator of an owner, so when I heard that there was a new owner and revamped shop I was in! It's been about 2 years since they took over shop during the lockdown and it is now my one and only vape shop that I go to!! The new store is a combination of vape mods, juices, glass pieces, PLANTS!! , super interesting imported Asian snacks, drinks (I always buy a Yerba Mate when I swing by!), and of course their best seller, their original line of orbit disposable vapes! The workers are so sweet, super friendly, and never hesitate to explain a flavor or just have a quick chat! :) I used to be a cig smoker, to juul-er, to puff bars, and now only smoke orbit brand vapes. There are a lot of different and new disposable vapes out on the market right now that look beautiful and have crazy flavors but none of them have the same consistency, taste, and as well as sleek and compactness of orbit vapes. One thing that I absolutely love is that all their Orbit brand vapes are all Star Wars, Planet, and Zodiac themed! It's so clever and especially with the zodiac themed vapes makes for great convos with people! My favorite flavors are: Taurus (Strawberry/Aloe/Grape) Pink Matter (Strawberry/Banana/Watermelon) Tatooine Desert Fruit (Melon Lychee Ice) And lastly Hidden Dagobah (Two flavors in 1! Half Guava and Peach ice and the other half Ube/Taro milk PLEASE!! Make the Taro/Ube milk flavor as a stand alone I'll buy it all lol) Lastly, they are a local Chamorro / Filipino family owned store with a coffee shop, plant shop, and work with others in the community and it makes my heart warm to know that my money is being put to the people working directly rather than a chain vape shop.

The…read morewoman who works here is so patient, straight to the point and most of all is not trying to sell you anything. They let me take my time looking around at there very amazing supplies. Such a great variety and most of all they are not ridiculously over priced as most bird stores are... They would absolutely make a killing if they had a food per pound section of seeds, nuts, seeds, etc. The store is very clean and the Cages there are also very great as far as price goes. I just absolutely love coming here.

I walked out with pepper my cockatiel. However, I adored a brown headed parrot. He was so friendly in the cage but the moment you take him out he was a monster and hated being held. There was something about him and I couldn't stop thinking about him once we left, so I went back a couple days later and got my little parrot (Kiwi). It is now a couple weeks later and I have spent a lot of time with Kiwi and he is amazing. He loves being out walking around. Giving me kisses, cuddles and now he is finally stepping up and I'm holding him and he loves it! It took a little time and patience but we got there! I am definitely bonded to this bird and am so happy I went back and got him. Thank you!
