    Oh my goodness!! What a hidden gem. Customer service was on point and so was the hookah, we'll be back for sure.

    I came to Palm Springs for a mini getaway, and I looked at some places to check out in downtown. And I will say, Blu Wave Cafe is a must visit. They have amazing hookah options and they give you a free drink with it. First night I came here, Lee made me feel very welcomed, she's naturally a professional, sweet, and outgoing. I felt very at home, we had great conversations and to top it off, she was constantly checking on how I was doing and I didn't once have to tell her to change my coals. And because it was such a great service, I came back the 2nd night because Lee made it very pleasurable to come here and smoke high quality hookah. My 2nd night I got to also talk to Dylan, he as well provided great service and constantly checked on me. Overall 10/10, I'll definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in town.

    Clean place, great service, and great hookah. Also a free drink with your hookah purchase. One of the best hookah lounges I have been to!

    Cuppa Pug is a themed cafe where visitors can book a session with resident pugs. This is one of…read moreseveral locations including London (England), Manchester (England), Edinburgh (Scotland), Brighton (England), Escondido (California), and Frisco (Texas). [Parking]: Free private parking lot with plenty of available spots. [Reservation & Price]: Our party booked an advanced one-hour reservation session on the website from 4 PM to 5 PM on a Saturday. The price is $20 + $0.51 booking fee per adult (ages 16+) for a one-hour session. [Experience]: Our party checked in at the front counter and hung out in the waiting area. The waiting area sells various pug merchandise and also has a touchscreen pinball machine. There is a unisex restroom available. Once our party stepped into a separate pink & clean room, the staff went over instructions on how to handle the pugs. Visitors are allowed to pick up the pugs but cannot carry them while standing. Any pug wearing a pink bandana is available for adoption. Each of us received few free treats to start, but additional treats like pupccino (a small pup cup), sausage treats, or fruit cups are available for purchase. The staff was friendly and was playing fun & energetic background music during the pug session. Our party didn't stay for the entire hour and left around the 45-minute mark because we had a dinner plan afterward. [Conclusion]: Our party had fun playing with the pugs and took plenty of photos. It was a fun and Instagrammable experience & I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who's visiting the Escondido area.

    The workers here are very nice. There are a bunch of adult pugs that are so cute. The prices are…read moreaffordable for the sessions and the treats parking is easy. The ambience is fun and playful and it's pink inside and adorable. It's definitely an Instagram/TikTok worthy place to visit. We didn't get any of the food or coffee.

They serve coffee during the day and alcohol at night. Since we came at night, we tried their cocktails. I was impressed with the variety of alcohol choices from sake, soju, wine and mixed cocktails. I chose So Fresh and So Clean, which exactly was the taste when I sipped this drink. The garnishing was minimal, so I was a little disappointed that the presentation wasn't that great. I ordered Just like candy and I loved the candy garnish as this was a fun twist to this drink. I did want the cocktails be a little more alcohol forward since I didn't feel it very much. Service was okay as we had to flag someone down to place another drink order. This place will reopen again soon and I'll try the cocktails again. Nice place to relax and unwind before or after dinner or in the morning with your coffee.

They helped us out and we were able to redeem it. We got a coffee and a banana bread for items with the admission price. They recommended us not to take the food in since they have a cat that's food obsessed heehee. We loved petting the kitty's and laying with them. They have some energized cats and some chill ones. They have elder cats and younger kittens. It was a lovely experience to pet the cats and give them some love. Maybe someday we will adopt one! I'd return!!

Each reservation cost about $24.00. That includes an hour of time with the cats, and a drink/snack from the café per person. My partner got a chai latte, and I grabbed a brown sugar(?) cinnamon roll. Both were very good! Special thank you to the barista for the recommendation and the delicious drink. The play-room itself was very nice, with plenty of seating, toys, and CATS! Even with six other guests in the same hour, there was plenty of everything to go around. As with any group of animals (and people), each had their own personality and preferences. JC stayed perched on the palm tree and loved to get pet. The older Bengal cat didn't like being touched, but was a joy to watch. Tatiana (pictured on the table) was slow to warm up to us, but loved to play with the cat dancer. There were about ten cats altogether. The employee inside clearly cares about each cat. He explained the rules clearly, shared the names and habits of each kitty, and was a pleasant guide. Thanks for a great start to our afternoon! See you again soon.
