Crema's Take
“Kush is a community-focused hookah lounge where the owner Tim and staff (especially Mary) genuinely treat regulars like family, making it feel more like a welcoming hangout than a transaction—the dim lighting, music, and Turkish coffee create a solid vibe. The main caveat is that this is fundamentally a hookah bar first and coffee shop second, so if you're coming for specialty espresso or filter coffee, you'll be disappointed; the coffee is secondary to the hookah and social experience. If you're in Skokie and want a laid-back lounge with good people and solid Turkish coffee as part of the package, it delivers.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

This is a beautiful hookah lounge. Great choice of music. Super friendly staff and very kind. The VIP hookah is super smooth and they make excellent turkish coffee. Be mindful though that they only accept cash, but there is an ATM on site.
