Hubble Hookah

by Rekha S.

I wish there were hookah lounges like Hubble in Northern California! Everything about this place is awesome: decor, music, hookah quality, food, coffee, service, etc. We went on a Friday night and and had the mint and orange flavored hookah. They changed the coals regularly without us asking, which was a first for me. Most hookah places I've been to don't change your coal unless you ask multiple times. We ordered the falafel sandwich and batata, both of which came in huge portions. Did I mention everything seems pretty cheap? Everyone was ordering the smoothies, but I was too full from dinner to get one. Maybe next time. This place is also great for small and large groups. It got more crowded around 10-11 pm but the ambiance was still cozy. I highly recommend this place.

Hubble was okay, though the waitress was always hanging with a group of people therefore hard to get her attention. We each had to go up to her to get her attention twice. So altogether, 4 times.The hookah's we got were good. and the area was a nice setting.The service was just bad.

The hookah here isn't exactly stellar but it's difficult to find good hookah bars and this one is one of the better ones.  It has good ambiance, decent hookah, good prices, and delicious HUMMUS!  Yes, everyone is right on point, the hummus is delicious ...as is the Big O dessert and their other various calorie-rich drinks and desserts.  It's a keeper.  Plus, Jay from Jay Silent Bob works there. ;-) Where else can you be served by famous dudes?

I love Hookah, and it all started on a summery night at Hubble.My first Hookah experiences were at disgusting places such as Ugly Hookah and another one located in Devon and California (cant remember the name). Both places left much to be desired, but Hubble is a nice place that is also close to home. I seriously live 2 blocks away and really enjoy the music, decor and hookah here. I did experience  some bad customer service once on a Saturday night  when a party was being held , thus no seating was available. The manager,not owner, decided to take our information in order to call us if a table was ready, just in case we decided to part. or stay outside for the wait. We did just that and while i used their restroom they called me. Dahh I was using the bathroom , how am I supposed to answer? Yet my whole party of 5 was waiting in line right next to the manager.  So, when i checked the voicemail he said i had lost my table because i didnt answer. Once we clarified he sat us and experienced some good hookah and food, but when some friends decided to get dessert  he said it would take 2 hours to bring it to our table WTF???I can bake a brownie and place icecream on it, in less than 40 min , plus i know about bakery, i am a chef!! plus it doesnt take a genius to know that. I also witnessed some anger and frustration against the customers. The manager was screaming in rage that the place was full and he wanted to close early to leave. Mind you, he used improper language at the time and frightened some customers away. Word of advice, if you are not ready to deal with customers, get someone who can.

Good hookah places are hard to find. Actually, hookah places that look like diners or seedy strip clubs are easy to find. The classy, happy medium, with good food, is very hard to find...until now.We had friends in town, and found this place on Yelp. The reviews were correct: Huge portions of food, very reasonable prices, and good hookah. The waitress was very honest with us that a certain flavor was getting to the bottom of the batch, and suggested other, more fresh, flavors. They request a limit of 3 people per hookah. The prices are so reasonable, that shouldn't be any issue.The atmosphere was ideal. The place is newly decorated, very clean, and contemporary. 2 very large round booths are in the center of the dining area, and would be great for groups of 6 or 8. We sat at a booth that could have fit 6, but we only had 4. We even brought along our favorite game and played it after eating and while taking hookah.This place is a diamond in the rough.

In my experience, hookah places tend to be at one of two ends of the spectrum; places that are "authentic" and thus are incredibly smoky and somewhat lacking in ambience, and places that are trendy and thus perhaps have ambiance but look at you strange when you order double apple or ask if they have have hummus. The latter generally come with some of the worst service on the planet, often a high-flying high schooler you have to interrupt to get any service (not interrupt them with another customer - interrupt their smoking with their friends). I'm getting off the the point. The point is that Hubble is a nice balance of the two. No non-hookah smoking and a nice ambiance, as well as a diverse selection of good food. I am one of the friends Nicole W. referred to, so my experience was from the same evening and I ditto everything she said. And also I'm leaving those points out of my review.I also concur with others here mentioning the fantastic servicing of the hookah's. I have never had better hookah servicing state-side than at Hubble.  If lived in the area this would be our place for hookah for sure.My rating system (for the curious):Five Stars - Fantastic. I'd go often if I could.Four Stars - Really good. It's likely I'll return.Three Stars - Good, but I won't seek it out for a return visit.Two Stars - I won't go again. This could be due to food, price, atmosphere, whatever.One Star - I won't go again and I suggest everyone follow suit.

FINALLY!A hookah hang out that has everything that i've been looking for! I went with a couple of my girlfriends on Saturday night. Too bad we didn't know that we could have made reservations. At 9pm the wait for a table was 30mins. Normally we would just leave, but the place looked really great. Instead of waiting in front, we were quickly invited to the bar where we had a couple of drinks.. that were really good. They have a wide selection in their menu. I recommend the cosmopolitan hookah! The appetizers are also really good! Overall this great experience, it was the customer service that really impressed me. Everyone was so pleasant, the waiters and the owner. Everyone made sure that you were having a good time. I will return... often!
