Here I am enjoying a Masala chai latte at Sunrise Coffee (a place I've already reviewed), and comparing it with the chai I recently had at Azuza.
These hookah places makes me laugh. My own friends patronize them, spending their money on carcinogenic tobaccos with fruity flavors modeled after kids' cereals. The whole culture of smoking is pure folly.
Azuza is the only hookah lounge I've actually been to, and I went because a friend told me I would appreciate their chai. The chai was good all right, but I actually prefer the one I'm drinking now.
The low-lit interior might have be more appealing if it was not so smoky, but that's what you get with a hookah lounge. On the other hand, the black lights bordered on kitsch. Overall, it was not an environment to which I want to return.
