Great place to enjoy a night out. The owner of the place was really nice to us. I`ll be back to this place and that's a guarantee.

Amazing flavors. Mint, watermelon and rose were fantastic. Customer service is also a 10/10. Overall vibe of the place was dope, great lighting, good music. Would recommend.

Good vibes and great atmosphere. This is one the few places in the Bay that charge per person for hookah instead of per hookah. For $25 a person, you can get a hookah with unlimited refills. My only compliant is that their hookah isn't the best, it might have to do with the brand of tobacco they use (and the menu says tobacco-free hookah but I'm not sure how that works).
Their fries are great but the past few times I've ordered a juice or a drink they've come very warm so it's not worth it-plus their juice is around $10. Overall, wouldn't recommend the food but would come for hookah and good music. They sometimes play Arabic music too which is a plus.
I used to come here years ago and they used to have a deal where it was unlimited hookah with unlimited fries- I think back then the hookah was really good!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Dec 22, 2023
Are you looking for hookah? Let's make it a habibi thing.
Laguna is the spot you need to go. Incredibly accessible through public transportation, and central to the city. Laguna offers an incredible space for a late night hang out that's free of alcohol, but doesn't let the vibe or energy go down through a fantastic middle eastern and western play list.
With an incredible menu of tasteful hookah flavors, constant service and attention, and a food menu to fill your cravings, laguna is such a good spot for a mid day or late night hang out.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Schanta L.Palo Alto, CA8125216Nov 1, 2023
The best hookah lounge I have been to yet !!
It's over an hour away from me, but if I lived closer this would be one of my most frequent stops. The vibe is top tier , the service was great, the music was so good and just added to everything else. We got 3 hookahs, watermelon in the watermelon(so fire and smooth), white gummy and sex on the beach. They were all so good. The place was nice and clean. The bubbles just added to the night! We had an amazing time. I will be back !Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dmitrius R.San Pablo, CA893711Sep 28, 2023
What a friendly, fun, and exciting local hub in the Upper Haight! I went to Laguna Cafe on a date after strong craving for hookah. It is important to note before you go: THE HOOKAH HERE IS NON-TOBACCO. I wish I had known that a little more from their website - i saw it on yelp and decided to still try.
Otherwise, the staff we met were so attentive and awesome. They came around often, they refilled our coals on a regular basis. They noticed we were a little put off by the lack or tobacco and I think they brought an additional hookah with the watermelon base. The hookah was absolutely beautiful and tasty!!! No complaints there, felt clean and nice. The music was great! Definitely loud, the vibe the night we went was a mix of singles just smoking hookah, partiers, groups of friends, and dates. This cafe attracts a really fun and interesting crowd.
We ordered some special tea, that was delicious with a dash of honey. We also ordered some amazing baba ghanoush - i had a but of a stomach ache and the herbs and flavors in this dish were very good! Made me feel better after eating than before.
4/5 wishing for a bit kore communication from the restaurant about what type of hookah is available, good experience overallHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jeff R.Marin County, CA6212784Jul 24, 2023Updated review
It's been 10 years since we first visited this place, and decided to try it again because the list of hookah places in SF is very slim.
We walked in just after they opened on a sunny, warm afternoon. There was only one other person there, who I suspect is the owner or manager because my friend had seen the same guy on an earlier visit.
We ordered the watermelon hookah (in an actual watermelon), and two waters. I still think it's odd they provide bottled water and not glasses of water. Keeps production costs down I suppose.
Anyway, the hookah was much better than I remembered; very mild and easy to smoke, and it gave me that pleasant buzz. I enjoyed it.
However...still had issues with the music. I know I'm older than most of their clientele so that may be part of it. At one point my friend asked them to turn down the music (at least he didn't tell them to get off his lawn). I didn't notice a difference, but about 20 minutes later the volume increased quite a bit. A f*ck you to my friend? Who knows. We struggled for another 10 minutes or so and then left. There were three other tables; two singles and a pair (but they were both on their phones and not talking. I don't know how they didn't have an issue with the music, it was truly that loud.
Anyway, we left our hookah unfinished, and didn't order the second hookah we'd planned on ordering. Pity because this place is in the Haight, which we love visiting when we get together once or twice a year. Maybe next time we'll wear earplugs and text each other instead of talking.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Nov 1, 2013Previous reviewMy marriage is safe; I am not entering a mid-life crisis. I know because this place was not my cup of tea.
I miss Kan Zaman. A lot. I used to love sitting at that beautiful copper bar, sipping a pint and smoking a hookah. The light was dim, the music was good, and the vibe was exotic and a little sensual. If Kan Zaman was a warm, cozy hunting lodge of a place, Laguna Café is a Vegas nightclub with shirtless bartenders and bottle service.
So my beef isn't completely about this place, it's just not what I was hoping for. It clearly caters to a younger crowd, and to people who might be new to smoking hookahs. My friend and I had two hookahs; the mint lemon and the coconut. The mint lemon was like sucking a giant cough drop. The owner had recommended it and said he'd replace it if we didn't like it. He did check in but I guess we weren't emphatic enough in our dislike so it wasn't replaced. So after about 30 minutes we asked for a coconut. The flavor was better.
Regardless of the taste, neither hookah gave us that mild, comfortable buzz we're accustomed to. We asked the owner and he was happy to tell us how his hookahs are different, but the music was so loud we couldn't hear a word he said. We smiled like idiots, nodded politely, and assumed the other guy could hear. After the owner left we both turned to each other and asked, "what'd he say?"
The owner is very nice and a good host. The place is very well-kept and clean (including the bathroom). I never saw a menu so I don't know what drinks or food they offer. And we were never offered anything to drink. At one point we did ask for water and we received a single 10-oz. plastic bottle of water.
So if you're young, like your Euro-techno music painfully loud and your hookahs sweet, mild, and impotent, you might love this place. - Musht F.Antioch, CA1333Feb 23, 2024
Gave my girl a hookah while I'm there... asked for her instagram while I was in the bathroom! Don't take ur girl or wife there no respect and says we get a free hookah then charges me 25$ like bro come on! Bad service I will not go there and I recommend you and your friends and family to do the same.
However Khalid himself wasn't there I've always had a GREAT REPOR WITH HIM BUT HIS WORKERS ARE TERRIBLE.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Vrushali B.Sunnyvale, CA99112415Apr 2, 2023
I went to Laguna Café last night and I have to say, it's such a nice hukkah bar! The place has a completely different vibe compared to other places I've been to. The music selection was on point, and it really added to the overall ambiance of the place.
One thing I really liked about Laguna Café was the concept of paying $25 per person for one hookah each and unlimited refills. That's such a great deal, especially when you're with a group of friends!
We ordered four hookahs in total, one with a watermelon base and the others with normal bases. The flavors we tried were sex on the beach, orange mint, bubble gum with mint, and guava with mint. We really enjoyed our time there and had a great experience overall.
The service was top-notch, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Laguna Café to anyone who's looking for a great hukkah bar with a fantastic atmosphere. I can't wait to go back!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 20, 2023
this place, as my friend puts it, is a vibe. i had the falafel plate and while it was good, it had falafel, french fries, dolma, hummus, baba ganoush, pita bread, the works. but $25 is pricey. the hookah is good, when we were there there was a party with people dancing and other people just smoking and watching. service is a little slow but otherwise no bad notes.
