"The hookah, drinks (mocktails) and ooey gooey chocolate lava cake was 5 stars. The hookah was so so smooth and it was still going when we left after an hour and a half. The ventilation is a bit of an issue for me as it became quite stuffy after a while esp with the smoke, but the door was open for a bit and that made a difference. I am looking forward to returning. Everything on your menu is well priced!"

"Really great experience. I promised to go back and I intend on fulfilling that promise. Awesome hookah options and all the flavours you could possibly find, premium as well. Friendly staff and a pleasant experience all round."

"We recently visited a shisha cafe and had an overall enjoyable experience. We ordered two shisha pipes, a hot chocolate, a cappuccino, a milkshake, and a brownie with ice cream, all of which were delicious. The place is spacious and has two sections with TVs all around. The staff were friendly and attentive. While the cafe doesn't serve food, bringing in outside food is allowed, which is a plus. The only downside was the unpleasant smell of weed being smoked inside, which detracted from the otherwise pleasant ambiance."
