A beautiful little hideaway. The Cloister Cafe is a beautiful little hideaway with a great outdoor garden. Go there for dessert or for drinks, enjoy the garden and the fountain on a lovely summer night. It is a neat date place if you like the medieval/garden decor. The service is friendly and the desserts are luscious.

A nice place. This is a nice place for a hookah lounge. Classier than most other hookah bars. It has both inside and outside seating. Ask to sit outside. The food is pretty good.

Great summer spot. I've only been once, in June. So I can't say how the place is in winter. But it is a GREAT summer spot for inexpensive food and drinks. Plus you can smoke hookah!

Thank you for the great time!. We had a good time in the backyard garden and the waiters did not rush us or anything. It was very relaxing.

hookah lasted. I like to come here and enjoy some hookah. It is $20 for 4 people and they have tons of flavors. There is also a 1 min. beverage charge but that is nothing. I just got an iced mint tea to go with my hookah. The hookah lasted 2 hours without changing the coal.

Hookah cake and good food. I like Cloister because I am so confused by what it is but I love the fact it has hookah and cakes! What an interesting combination.

Awesome place, with strong drinks.
"I had a mojito, which was ok.
Most unique aspect - both bathrooms have 2 toilets in it! In my tipsy state, it took me by surprise. But it's cool, I'll often share a cubicle with my gf. But this takes that to another level."
