These guys are pretty solid. They have a great selection of local and imported drinks and exotic candies and drinks. They have good prices on their vapes and smokes as well. There is a problem with the homeless people lurking around but hey it's in the rougher part of Downtown so take that with a grain of salt. Overall, would recommend to anyone who's in the area. They also sell clothes like jacket and hats.
