“Jacques is an amazing human being. Helped us to select a very nice wine to celebrate our 50th Anniversary trip from NYC to Portland and treated us like royalty.”
“I'm definitely interested in saving a dollar here and there when I can. I've changed stores looking for the best prices with the nicest cashiers because honestly it's not worth the savings if you gotta deal with miserable and unhappy people. Now they don't open until 10am but they have some great cigarette prices and usually have deals for multiple packs.I usually grab 2 cartons and 4 packs for each of us some job papers and we're set for the week. Today we had run into friends when we pulled up and I ran across to grab butts and the cashier (extremely nice) said no packs this week. It surprised me cuz I'm in there for under 5 minutes once a week and there a pretty busy store with lots of customers but she remembered what I usually get that's home town service. If you're a local or from away visiting or vacationing stop by and grab your cigarettes here. You'll save money and be glad you did”

899 Portland Rd, Saco“Best "Smoke Shop" I've walked into.Everyone I've made a transaction has been highly knowledgeable and the friendliest.They always go above and beyond to research their products and make sure the customer's feedback is heard!The store is very clean. Display cases are neatly arranged, not overflowing into the walking areas. Strategically placed products so you don't forget the important parts!Beautiful glass selection, good paper selection, quality vapes, and some decent accessories.I've been here almost every week for a year and only had one vape be defective, but it was promptly replaced as I had not left the store before noticing.The name may be Exhale, but be sure the first thing you do when entering is inhale and relax. Smile and enjoy the calm, clean shopping.”
“I love this shop and I always get top tier service. You always have what I need and the price is better than other places I’ve been to. The biggest thing for me is how nice the staff is. I always feel a little self conscious because I don’t know all of the vaping lingo, but they always know exactly what I’m asking for and have even said not to feel self conscious about how I say it.I am always happy to leave a tip as well. The only thing about the tip screen, it gives different options like “10% - great service” or “20% - best service ever!” The thing is, I truly always feel I’m getting the best service ever, but don’t necessarily have an extra 20% to tip. To anyone who has waited on me here: you gave the best service ever regardless of the amount I tipped and I appreciate you for helping me and being so kind <3 See you soon!”
“Extremely helpful and friendly staff, especially the resident staff dog Ruby. Seriously they're lovely people, never had anything but a wonderful, professional, and prompt experience there. Great prices and a great selection. Also a good little boat beer fridge with constantly changing options for those of us of the island persuasion.”

579 Congress St, Portland“I want to go ahead and commend both CJ and Julie today on going above and beyond to do such a simple act of kindness, but something that brought tears to my eyes. Something that you rarely see nowadays. People are so quick to complain, and then tell five other people how terrible their experience was but how often do you see someone to recognize a member experience they had? These two are the dream team. Smiles, positivity, and good energy fill the store As soon as you walk in. CJ was a saint and extremely patient with my fiancé and night as we went through almost all the torches. Very educated and knowledgeable and so kind. Long story short, I was $1.06 short, which I had in my car on this cold day. It was parked way down the street so it felt.. I was about a dollar short from my total. Julie heard me from the back and said to me without any hesitation that she would cover the dollar and six cents, I’ve never come across such extraordinary customer service. These situations may be small to some, But can change a persons entire week. Now I’ll make sure to go ahead and pay it forward, because you never know what someone is going through. Or how such a small gesture can affect someone’s day. I will forever remember this experience today and make sure that cigarette shopper on Congress Street is my one stop shopping for all my smoking needs”
“Found this place while I looking for someplace else. Stopped in for a couple beverages and snacks. Was impressed on how clean, organized and fully stocked the place is. Joe’ s has become my go to for drinks, etc. I’m going start trying the sandwiches soon and offer my specialized reviews.”
“Freak Street has the friendliest service and their hats/shirts are less than half the cost of the gift shop two doors down. I would definitely return here for Portland, Maine memorabilia. They also do screen printing if that's what you're after.”
“Stop and Choose this shop, ask for Corrissa! I always go out of my way to come to this specific shop, the employees are so amazing every time I go. Corrissa amazed me today with her amazing vibe and how Knowledgeable and helpful she was to any of my questions.”
“I don't often leave reviews, but I feel this place deserves the recognition! I'm not from the Portland area, this shop was recommended to me when I asked about finding a vape in the area (I had previously tried 2 other places!) It wasn't until I stopped here that someone was KIND ENOUGH to ask me what I was looking for exactly and realize I was clearly from another part of Maine ? she was super sweet and sent me in the right direction to find flavors, and the only one decent enough to even tell me Portland has a flavor band (which I couldn't believe!) So their customer service was top notch, and as someone from out of town, I truly appreciated the help and kindness!”
