"A wonderful place, so peaceful! Delicious tea and very kind service. Just don’t mind the smell of shisha (I love the smell but know it’s there). And don’t get their gaufres (waffles). They’re heavy on the stomach."

"The best shisha place I’ve experienced in the entire of France (out of the many cities in France that I have visited). Very kind and attentive staff. I ordered the double apple and it was strong, just the way I like it (very smooth at the same time I didn’t cough). The tea was extraordinary, he will tell you exactly how long to leave the tea in the hot water. The seating is comfortable and the ambiance is unmatched. Just be aware that it is cash only. I will be returning daily throughout the rest of my stay here in AIX. The prices are also very reasonable, spent 20 euros for the shisha and a pot of their extraordinary tea. Much of the other shisha that I have tried in France has been very weak, I’m glad I found a place that knows how to make it properly."

"One of the best hookah/shisha places. You take off your shoes when you first enter and you sit on these really comfortable cushions on the floor. The ambiance and vibes are great. They also have the best selections of tea. Highly recommend going but be-aware they only accept Cash."
