Star Buds — Attraction in Westmont

If Star Buds was a sitcom, Matthew, Shannon, and Alysia would be the all-star cast that keeps you coming back for every episode. This smoke shop isn’t just a place to grab your gear—it’s like walking into your cool cousin’s house where everyone knows your name and treats you like family. Matthew’s got the charm of a stand-up comedian, cracking jokes while hooking you up with exactly what you need. Shannon’s the heart of the operation, making sure you leave with a smile and probably a story to tell. And Alysia? She’s the vibe curator, keeping the energy high and the service tighter than a freshly rolled… well, you know. These three run the show with such warmth and hustle that you’d think they were born to make your day better. But let’s be real—don’t walk in acting like you own the place, because they’re too good at their jobs to deal with nonsense. They’re pros who care, and that’s rarer than a perfect smoke ring. Star Buds isn’t just a shop; it’s a damn experience. Keep it up, you legends. I’ll be back, probably with snacks...

I couldn't even get a question answered about a sale they are running today. Totally got ignored and instead of answering my question I got the credit card machine push at me instead, embarrassing me. I would give this a 1 rating if I wasnt here before and had 5 star experiences. So I put it at the halfway mark. If you advertise something and it doesn't have restrictions dont tell it won't show on my receipt online, then I go to the store and not only do I not get the discount I cant even get a reason why. You shot my anxiety through the rough when I come to your store for the exact opposite. You should value your customers questions more than their money. At least dont make it so obvious. Now I can try and go de-stress. Really horrible...

I’m a regular at the Westmont Starbucks and always have great experiences with the team here, but one moment really stood out recently. I had just gone through a very difficult week after losing a close friend, and when Josh asked how my day was, I unexpectedly broke down in tears. He was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate in that moment, and I’ll never forget how gracefully he handled someone falling apart in front of him.

It may have seemed like a small gesture to him, but it meant so much to me. Thank you, Josh, and thank you to the whole team at this location for always making your customers feel cared for. You all truly make...
