| - Blaqcat definitely has some upsides and downsides. The staff is super nice and they are very attentive. They come by often enough to check your coals, but usually just leave you alone. During the week it is super chill, but I went on a weekend one time and the music was so loud (and terrible) you couldn't hear the person sitting next to you even if you were screaming. I'm not sure if that was a special event, or something they do every weekend. The atmosphere is very nice, but the benches on many of the booths are so high that you feel more like you are waiting for the bus, than hanging out smoking hookah. Last time I was there, I asked to move to another booth with lower seats, and they told us it was reserved. We were in there 2+ hours and there was only one other booth occupied the entire time so I'm not sure what they were waiting for. The tea selection is great, but I feel like they've changed the recipes a bit. The "Buried Treasure" iced tea used to be my favorite, but the last few times I ordered it, it tasted like they dumped in a ton of strawberry syrup instead of using fresh berries the way they used to. All in all, its not a bad place to hang out sometimes, but its not usually my first pick.
