The Hempest

Awesome! 5 stars! by Steven

Best pipe selection in Boston, with great customer service to go with it. Also, they have a great selection of hemp clothing.

Hemp turns out to be a remarkable useful material and the clothes here are quite nice but expensive.  It is a good place to find sneakers though that are not made of leather or items such as a wallet or belt.  So it is good for vegans.

I thought it'd be appropriate to dedicate my 420th review to a truly green shop, a store that realized and capitalized off the multitudes of uses of cannabis. While they have a pretty sweet selection of casual wear (such durable fabric), they also carry skin/bath products (great stuff for the derma) and accessories. Even cooler is that much of their merchandise uses bamboo and soy fibers as well. And their staff is always kind and chilled out. Hmmmm?

More than great hemp clothing, original and national designs.  Most clothes are 55% hemp and 45% cotton.  Some are 100% hemp though.  Great if you like hippie culture.  I just bought a "MAKE NO WAR" shirt.Way more than clothes, amazing place for pipes and bongs, made of decorative glass (see my photo for a little preview).  Rolling paper and other smoking paraphernalia also available.  The staff is nice too.They really go the distance with the hemp pride.  My 8 dollars in change came as one each $5, $2, and $1, just so that they could give me a $2 bill with stamp near Jefferson's head that reads "I grew hemp".  Maybe it's incentive to pay in cash.

What a treat this place is - so much hemp (clothing, accessories, etc.) under one roof! Two floors of ultra-cool clothing, I must say.Expensive, but worth every penny.

The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and not condescending if you (like me) ask lots of possibly stupid questions about some of the items for sale. They were totally nice, took time to explain things to me, answered all my questions, and were awesome. I never knew buying a hemp tank top could be so easy and worry free!Ok, truthfully, I think this is a nice pseudo head shop/clothing store. Yeah it's overpriced (but, um, so is Sugar Daddy's) , yeah this probably means I'm more of a yuppie than I think I am, but whatever. It's convenient, it has a large selection of pipes, small selection of grinders, I think I saw one water pipe, and a lot of really pretty clothing. It feels very "After I made my first million, I moved to Vermont and opened a head shop" yup-hippie organic feel to the place. I also totally loved some of the hemp clothing there. However I was at the store during a massive deluge and didn't really feel it was appropriate to try something on, considering I was soaked to the skin.

Great shop with lots of nice smoking accessories and clothing.  My girlfriend got a sweet dress that she looks uber hot in, and I got myself a nice little $35 hookah..They have an amazing range of products. Glass pieces abound on two floors and many different displays ranging from $10 to $1k in all sorts of beautiful colors, shapes and sizes.  They also have papers, vaporizers, dugouts, onies etc.  Prices did not seem as bad as people make it out, I mean, do hookahs get cheaper than $35??  They have guys clothing downstairs womens upstairs with a relatively nice selection of styles.  A bit more upscale than your average headshop, but hey, its newbury st.  Staff was super nice helpful and gave me some interesting info about hemp clothing.  Looking forward to the next trip.

Just moved to Boston found my favorite store.  I was surprised to see the comments calling it expensive..Prices didn't seem that bad..not bargain basement or Old Navy cheap, but not bad either. They have some really nice jackets for around $200 that I am definitely getting this winter.  Pants were between $40 $80 and Shirts start at $18 for t's with cool prints.  They also have the most beautiful glass pipe selection I have ever laid eyes on.  This place has a great vibe, it's very unique, original, and friendly to boot.  I look forward to going back.

I like pot(ted plants)

Marijuana is not just for smoking...Just ask the guys at the Hempest.  The place to go if you feel like buying organic cotton or hemp clothing.  The prices are a little high, but spending more to be eco-conscious is a dollar spent in the right direction.  The store also has shoes, hooded sweatshirts, sweaters, pants, backpacks, and handblown glass.
