Such a cool little shop with tons of artistic glass pieces and tobacco accessories. They literally have EVERYTHING you would ever need. I've been to a couple in the area and I just stumbled upon the Cupboard when I ate at a restaurant on Vine street. It's amazing just to go in walk around and take in everything that the store offers. The building itself is really cool. Everything is decently priced. There's stuff in this shop ranging all price ranges including a "baller" section that features a glass piece that is $40,000 along with many other pricy and crazy cool pieces. You have to check this place out. read more

The short vine shopping district can be a little seedy at some times, but if you go during the day, it can be quite enjoyable. Located only a few doors down from Bogart's is the Cupboard. The Cupboard has all of your tobacco pipe, smoking utilities, and sex toy needs. Their selection of glass pipes is pretty extensive. They have at least 3 counters filled with them. The Cupboard also has a good deal of jewelry and accessories for flower child in anyone. Towards the back of the store, you can find adult greeting cards, and a good amount of sex toys. The selection isn't as good as if you were going to a store that only sold toys, but they still have a decent amount of stuff. The employees are really good at checking I.D.s for anyone who comes in the store, even if you look old enough, so don't forget your I.D.!! read more

Hmmm...the Cupboard. A Clifton institution at its finest. And I think that probably says something about Clifton. You can buy just about anything here that you'd preferred others didn't know about. Toys (not the kiddie kind), pipes (the tobacco kind **wink, wink**), and clothing (the streetwalker kind). I'm a pretty worldly gal, but invariably I find something here that makes me blush. The Cupboard has a variety of tobacco products, the most interesting I've seen were called simply "Death" cigarettes and were emblazoned with a skeleton. Gotta love the truth in advertising! read more

I've never been to this shop considering I'm from California but I've placed several online orders. I've dealt with Berry and Brian, they have given me impeccable customer service in helping me find the piece I was looking for and shipping is fast. Thank you guys, looking forward to getting my new piece from you today. Kristina Barber read more

I am from out of town. I read several reviews about shops like this in the area, and found a couple that seemed to be having a "review war" where the owners were putting bad reviews on their competitions listing and good reviews on their own... Didn't want to shop at either of these places. Went to the Cupboard, was treated nice, and when I mentioned the reviews I read, they were very professional and said little about the other shops. I found exactly what I wanted, right up front, and was in and out. There were a lot of people (some that looked rather undesirable) loitering out front in the parking area... that was a little unnerving, but good experience overall (even though it was quick). read more

Being from California and having EVERY sort of shop on every corner I was relieved when I found the cupboard the staff were friendly. I purchased a beautiful hand blown glass bong about a foot and a half tall. I was expecting it to be about $100, I was blown away when I realized their prices were so low. I paid $45 for it, the staff there are also great at informing you of cool new things or products that came out, I recommend getting the honey comb screens they just came out maybe a month ago I'm not sure but they're amazing!! The prices the staff and the location is perfect expect the dirty sex store next door that reeked of cigarettes lol read more

This place has history..no doubt...and it is really cool inside. They have a lot to offer and a huge variety at that. I like to stroll through here now and again. But..I have to say..the mark up in here is a little high..no pun intended..compared to other places. But it is still a cool store. read more

I love this place! Head shop/sex shop. If it's barley legal, you can probably find it here. On historical Short Vine, it's a perfect place for such a business. I've found that some of their glass is more expensive than in other head shops in the area. They seem to have a handle on the local glass blowing scene with most of their products are being made locally. On a side note, the store is layed out really funny and it's really easy to miss display cases. It feels a little congested inside, some aisles you need to walk sideways just to get through. But still a great place to check out. read more

Bought an Illadelph bong here because they are a official retailer of their glass. Employee was shady, trying to rip me off, finally came around after haggling. Seems like an excellent shop.. I just had a bad experience. read more

I've been an intermittent customer for over 25 years. Awesome little shop on short vine. The Cupboard has the best selection of glass you'll find in a 100 mile radius, probably even further than that. They have artistic collectible glass pipes as well as simple affordable pipes and everything in between. Its practically an art gallery, aside from being a gift shop and headshop. Friendly and knowledgeable staff too. For everyone commenting about prices, its obvious that people just aren't educated in the industry. Lots of college kids in the area who are new to the whole smoking thing and have been duped into buying a cheaper pipe from the bodega across the street. True glass enthusiasts understand the health risks and inferior quality with glass pipes from China. People don't realize that places like elite smoke shop have such low prices because they buy in bulk from China - vendors like DHGate. These are pipes made with thinner glass, mass-produced quickly and carelessly by over-worked and underpaid laborers, many of them children. Many of the pipes aren't even annealed properly and will break so easily, some of them still have glass dust stuck inside... Support American industry. Support glassblowers and artists who make each pipe with care. Don't buy Chinese glass. An American pipe will last you wayyyyy longer trust me. The Cupboard is a great place - the only good place in the area - to pick out a decent American-made pipe. read more

The Cupboard is definitely a Clifton institution, in that it exists only due to the proximity of a large number of college students willing to spend their parents' money on overpriced merchandise. Pipes that can be found for $40 around the block at The Smoke Shop will run you well up to $100 at The Cupboard. The selection is extremely limited, and there is nothing unique or interesting to justify making the trip. read more

The Cupboard was a total let down. They treated me as if my money was no good to them - as if they have so much business coming through there doors they can just treat people like dirt. The gal, nicole or nicki I believe it was, was so rushed and short with me i felt embarrassed for her. Maybe they do have so much business they can afford to treat people with such little class. I know being a small business owner myself that every sale matters a lot to my staying in business and if I acted as she did - which is a direct reflection of the owner and his/her way of doing business - that I would no longer be in business. I work too hard for my money to be treated so poorly, thus I will not offer my business to this egregious shop ever again. read more

If you go with the intention of purchasing an adult toy, be sure to take your own batteries, because they will tell you they have no batteries. I get it home it does not work and it is a cheap flimsy product, that won't last through the first use. The receipt tells you no exchanges no refunds it will be interesting to find out what happens when I take the thing back. read more

I was at the cupboard with a few friends a while ago and while we there the manager I believe her name was Nicki or something with an N, anyways while we were there there was one associate on the floor who was busy so when the manager came to the floor we asked her for help and she seemed bothered by that fact and was short and rude to us. I called up a few times after that day to speak with the manager about it but I was always told "she isn't in today" or "she just left" and it was the middle of the day. After I gave up calling I stopped in a few times and to no surprise the manager was not there either. I have worked in retail for many years and the fact that the manager was never able to be reached and was rude to us just for asking for help is absolutely ridiculous. If I could i would not give this store any stars in my rating and I definitely will not recommend this store to any family or friends in the Clifton area. Family owned 1948 but it's clearly not family operated. read more
