Arabica Coffeehouse And Hookah Bar — Restaurant in Parma Heights

Got in just after 11 pm, was told the $10 charge magically became $20 after 11 pm, not mentioned when I called to check 2 hours before. Three girls walked past without paying anything at all. Mind you, maybe it is because my friend and I are white as, and the lovely ladies walking past were not. Went to order my hookah and a drink for myself. Was quickly attended by the barman to be served double vodka and water instead of double vodka and sprite. Hookah came lopsided as it wasn't fully sealed down on the rubber, with coals on it so there was no way to fix it without removing the coals. Funnily enough with no tongs to turn the coals, so that wasn't a possibility. No new coals ever came, and it took forever to start the hookah.Tried a second vodka, but found it too was vodka and water, instead of vodka and sprite. Dancing is amazing if you are into hip hop, which I am. Will never return to here though, clearly you either need to be a known face or maybe being a white girl is offensive to the staff here. Thanks for a sub par night in Parma Heights.

The vibe of the place was nice and chill. We sat town and where greeted with old, crunchy, and stained menus. We ordered a hookah and some drinks and they wouldn’t serve our one friend drinks becuase they said he was underage, when clearly his ID showed he had turned 21 3 months prior. Even after explaining that they still said no. About 5 min went by and they came back and said none of us could have drinks becuase they were “having issues with their alcohol license”. At that point we just decided we were going to leave. They said we couldn’t leave because they had already started preparing the hookah. We...

Not a place to study, or get coffee for that matter. Atmosphere isn't friendly to studying - there was a TV blaring in one room, and the other room was a hookah lounge. Even with no one there smoking hookah, the room still smelled like it. No music or any indication that this was a coffee shop (other than the name). The coffee didn't even smell or taste like coffee. Also, the carton of half and half on the counter was just sitting on the counter - not in an ice bath or a thermos. I'm sure it's a fun place in the evening to go smoke hookah with your friends if you're into that, but do not go...
