Cloudz Hookah Lounge

I had an intimate birthday hookah lounge session last Saturday. The experience was pleasant, it was however very cold. I haven't experienced Millbrae to be that cold in the summer, then again, the weather have been chilly than hot this year.

Z was kind enough to situate us away from the far back and crowded area per requested. I feel cramped and suffocated when its too crowded. It was however a bad idea, since the area we were at was not under a canopy or a heated lamp, so it was cold and windy. We were there from 9:30 till 1am. Sake kept us warm and hookah gave us a buzz, so we were okay. Very attentive guys and wait service from Boiling Bay restaurant, which served us our drinks or food if needed (we didn't order food since we already ate).

Stick to their beer and sake, you can't go wrong. Skip the wine, it will relax you too much paired with hookah.

It got a bit cramped, but it wasn't bad. We were hoping there would be a dj, but there wasn't any at the time, but they had some music playing which made us wiggle in our chair dancing at some moments. We requested the heat lamp, but it was never turned on because they had no propane, and there wasn't any available at their nearest stores? Hmmm, oh well...

We envied the people in the canopy area, they had electric heated Lamps hung above them.

Overall, I'd come back on a much calmer and warmer weather w/friends. It's a nice compliment to Millbrae. It's not in the city, which is a plus if you want to keep it local. I like this spot, it's for those chill days/nights and the mature. Relaxed atmosphere, unpretentious and attentive young and professional owners. Do not expect to see an old middle eastern man with an accent introducing himself to you, these guys are hip.

They are fairly new and seems to have been testing out some things that works or doesn't. Could use more comfy chairs to lounge, especially on chilly days/nights, it would have helped a little if a couple or friends could sit closer and cuddle to keep warm.

I think the chairs with arms took on more space that it should have. Get rid of those armed chairs, it will be less cramped and awkward on a crowded space. Just a thought :)

Ciao!

This place is really awesome. Good prices and nice spot. It can get a little tough to move around. It gets pretty windy (bring a jacket just in case) but it's nice they have many heaters to accommodate the chill. There are so many flavors to choose from. My favorite flavor and must try is the chocolate chip mint & HYPHY!

The owner "Z" is very sweet and always making sure his guest are taken good care of.

A good tip is to EAT before you go to this place.

Overall experience: I will return again with more people following.

Atmosphere was relaxed, the owner is a super cool guy, service was great, hookah was well managed, flavorful, rich and easy to draw - all in all a great experience.

I withhold that fifth star for the outdooor setup and the prices. This hookah lounge is outdoors on a wood patio under some canvas tents and there's not a whole lot of room. The tents do little to tame a windy day, but the temperature is managed by some space heaters. The prices were at the higher end of reasonable.

That being said I still recommend this place, I really enjoyed it.
