Description

Behind the counter, the owner is welcoming and sociable, keeping the space clean and well-maintained. However, service from other staff members can be notably indifferent or rude. A defining element of the experience is that smoking is permitted in both the indoor and outdoor dining areas, and the cafe offers hookah around the food. It remains a functional spot for a quick visit, though your experience will depend on how you navigate the smoke and the staff's hit-or-miss hospitality.
