“I went in tonight to grab a few things to complete my at home mini bar. As someone with severe social anxiety the staff at this location were awesome. As a 21 year old buying alcohol still gives me anxiety and sometimes I get scared that I am going to be turned away because I look younger. But the staff did a great job at helping me find what I was looking for, making recommendations on what brands to get since I am still new ish to this and never once made me feel like I was doing something wrong. I even got a bag of chips for 1 penny for signing up with my phone number and buying a qualifying item. I will definitely be back and I truly appreciate how I was treated tonight. You guys are great :)”

“Stopped in today after class to check it out and get a few things. It was my first time. Store was very clean and organized. Service was great, the guy working was very informative when I asked questions about recommendations. I would definitely be back!”
“Five stars isn't enough for this place. I've been to a lot of glass shops over the years, and this one is in a league of its own. The selection is incredible, everything from affordable everyday pieces to genuinely stunning heady glass from local artists that you won't find anywhere else. The display cases alone are worth the trip.
What really sets it apart is the staff. Zero pretension, endlessly patient, and actually knowledgeable. I came in not knowing exactly what I wanted, and instead of pushing me toward the most expensive thing on the shelf, they asked good questions and walked me to a piece that fit my budget perfectly. It's held up beautifully.
The shop itself is clean, well-lit, and organized, no cluttered chaos like some places. Prices are fair, they stand behind what they sell, and they clearly care about supporting glass artists, AND THEY'VE A POOL TABLE!!!
This is my go-to spot now, full stop. If you're anywhere in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out.”
“chill place with good selection. they offer testers, decent prices, and many items including kratom, cbd, and various disposable vapes & e-liquid+batteries.
Every time I go in there's usually an employee that rushes the experience rather than feeling leisurely. I feel like I can't look around necessarily without knowing the exact item I want. The employees that work there are knowledgeable with various products.”
“Man... This place is legit. Usually when I'm in this neck of the woods I'll go to Humidor. But this place came on the radar so I stopped by.
The cigar selection here is amazing. You don't find many places that have this many options at the price points I saw. I'm a huge Fuente fan and they had sticks that aren't easy to find (unless you're online or want to buy a box.)
The lounge is a decent size; plenty of TVs and larger seats line the walls. They also sell soda, water and chips (which I loved) and stay open until midnight on the weekend.
The proprietor came around to change the ashtrays consistently, and was very knowledgeable about the cigars. I didn't need any help, but it's always a plus when the staff is attentive and knows their stuff.
Highly recommend if you're in the Aurora area.”
“One of the best smoke stores around! Huge selection, great prices, and awesome service. Aali is super chill, helpful, and knows his stuff. He made sure I got exactly what I needed. 10/10 experience — will definitely come back!”
“I’d leave a good review regardless of if I got a better deal or not — everyone here is so helpful and could t ask for nicer people to help me decide on my next vape flavor. 5 stars every time”
“Totally cool, knowledgeable staff. Not your average smoke shop. They will assist you in every way. Have been going here for a year or so and always happy with product. Not to mention how neat the shop is set up. I love the them there and how they always greet you with kindness and totally professional. Will never go anywhere else. Highly recommend Uncle Stu's!”

“First off, the customer service here is amazing, I’ve dealt with many shops where they just have no sense of how to deal with people, but this one is great. They also have an awesome selection of vapes and they’re always getting something new in to try. This shop is top notch and the only shop I ever go to, they’re the best around.”
“The best and most convenient store open late night in the area. Always have all the newest selections and whatever I might be looking for that I don’t even know exists! Coolest spot in town!”

“You know it’s really rare to find a place that the owner actually takes time to learn your name? Or even asks your name! ?
It’s pretty hard to find these days. Not here though, Sky Smoke Shopp is the spot, & what this man has done with the place is honestly incredible.”

“La Vita Cigars has an incredible selection, a fantastic lounge atmosphere, and one of the best walk-in humidors you’ll find anywhere. The owner, Joey, is absolutely first-class—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making every customer feel welcome. Joe and his team go above and beyond to create a great experience. La Vita isn’t just a cigar shop—it’s a place where people come to relax, enjoy great cigars, and feel at home. Highly recommended!
Reminds me of my of my late father every time I go in there. Love this place.

“This is my Go to smoke shop, Not only do they have great brand products but the customer service is beyond 5 stars, The owner and the employees always take the time to ask me exactly what I’m looking for and always suggest different flavors and brands of vapes to try. Every time I leave I leave supper happy with my purchase and always end up coming back. Recently bought this “Hits Blunt” brand Vape and it might be my new favorite highly recommend!”
“I was greeted by a lady at customer service who thought it fit to rather rudely enquire if i was paying by cash as she would only accept cards. Besides that uncouth lady my experience was pleasant.Their prices and selection is unbeatable.”

“These guys are the best of the best!! I just moved from the city and I’m so glad I found them. They literally ordered this flavor for me & texted me when they got it. They have a rewards program and are such nice people!!”
“Great little tobacco shop hidden away in the shopping center off of Stearns and 59. Good owner always helps me out with anything I need. Always willing to get what he doesn't have for you. Great little hidden gem in Bartlett.”

“I purchased an electronic device here and I could not get the device to turn on. When I returned to the store the staff member was able to turn the device on as he was knowledgeable about the devices in the store.”
“An electronic rig of mine died and I thought I purchased the same version, however, it was the older one that I already had.
Upon returning, there was a situation with a staff member not adhering to business policies, or rather provided incorrect information to me, so my blunder couldn’t technically be resolved.
Fortunately, it seems that said staff member was on their way out of employment, and to not make a special exception on their polices, we worked out an agreement - I left satisfied and the store still made a profit.
I’ve yet to return to see if our agreement still stands and will update this review with more details if so or not.
Overall, this place featured cheaper items and stocked products that nearby larger stores didn’t have! Straight to business and none of that sales banter.”
“Best smoke shop in the Saint Charles area. Friendliest staff, best prices, and always a smile on their face when I walk in. I love you guys thank you for being who you are!”
“Batavia Smoke N Liquor has quickly become one of my favorite stops in town. The staff here are absolutely fantastic. Always greeting you with a smile and feeling welcome from the moment you walk in.
The shelves are always fully stocked with an impressive variety of beverages, snacks, and candies, making it a one stop shop for whatever you’re looking for.
What’s even more exciting is the chance to walk into a tasting event. A fun and unique way to try something new. Whether you’re looking for something specific or just browsing, this place will not disappoint.
Batavia Smoke N Liquor is more than just a store; it’s a great experience every time. I’ll definitely keep coming back for the excellent service and fantastic selection!”
“I love this grocery store! The owners are great, and I always find good deals and get what our family needs. They are my favorite place to get bones for making bone broth, and grabbing a rotisserie chicken or other quick easy dinners pre-prepped. It’s a peaceful, friendly atmosphere to shop and we are thankful to have our neighborhood grocery store!”
“Stopped by for the first time and Santiago made the visit well worth it. Very friendly and offered a lot of good insight for someone fairly new to the cigar world. Make the visit if you can”
