Sheesha Cafe&Bar Danran has many flavors available, including fruity flavors and spicy flavors.

In addition to offering a wide selection of shisha, the café provides a diverse range of beverages, including fruit juices, teas, and herbal infusions, as well as alcoholic drinks!

When smoking shisha you use a smoking device called a water pipe, which passes the smoke from burnt tobacco through water in a bowl and allows smoking with the filtered smoke. The smoke is cooled as it passes through the water, giving it a milder flavor compared to regular cigarettes.

For those who have quit smoking, the café also offers nicotine-free flavors. I was pleasantly surprised by the wide range of flavors available and the smoothness of the tobacco used. The café staff will regularly come to change the charcoal to avoid the flavors to get burnt and to clean the ashes so the shisha maintains its flavor and the smoothness, extending the duration of the experience!

You insert your own mouthpiece at the end of the pipe when smoking the shisha, so you can enjoy it with a few people with one shisha.

The shisha is perfect for sharing with friends. A session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes on average. Each person will be given their own mouthpiece to ensure a sufficient level of hygiene, making sharing worry-free!

It is an environment where people can also focus on their work.

The atmosphere during the afternoon is calm and conducive to work, all while enjoying a relaxed ambiance. It seems like many regulars come with their laptops, and there is Wi-Fi and electrical outlets available.
