Shisha Cafe was first opened in San Antonio by a Lebanese entrepreneur in spring of 2003. Designed after the ever-popular Hookah cafes in the Mediterranean, the concept of Shisha Cafe was relatively new to San Antonio.
In its early days of operation, Shisha Cafe only offered flavored tobacco for its famous Hookah and an assortment of teas, coffees, fruit smoothies, and sodas. Patrons watched games on the big screen TV while others chatted and smoked Hookahs.
