We come here for our paan hookah and cappuccino! Love the ambiance! Staff is very friendly. They make sure you're having a good time! read more

Fumare Hookah Lounge - 70% Paan and 30% blueberry. This is our go-to hookah - Hookah Bars Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

New owner for the past few months and have visited here a few times now. Even though it's a far drive, the nice experience is worth it. Every time we've tried different flavors and every single one have been amazing. Decor could use some updating but it didn't bother us at all. It's BYOB but they sell non alcoholic drinks here as well. They have gone out of their way to accommodate our group a few times when we've come with 10+ people in terms of seating. Highly recommend. read more

Under New Management! LOVE the ambiance, decor, and AMAZING Hookah! The hookah was really smooth and they even had paan flavor which you don't find everywhere. I smoked Paan/Pink as per owner's recommendation and it was really good. The music wasn't super loud so you can actually sit and have a conversation with your friends. The service was on top, they would change coals as needed and would come right away if you needed anything else. Definitely my new go-to place is Schaumburg area now. Thank You Fumare for an amazing hookah and service. Will see you soon! :) PS: I wish I took pics to share. :( Next time will take pics and share. read more

Great lounge!!! The owner is super accommodating and friendly. The hookah is great and service is outstanding!

Vibes are immaculate, would come back again, service was great as well, visit Jordan on Friday and Saturday great service

Great place to relax and get hookah! The music and ambiance is great! The service was good too

music, service. I'd go again. I came with a large group and they had games available to go to which was great.

We came across Fumare last night and it was such a great vibe, that we decided to come back tonight. The service was great, and the owner, Amber, is such a sweetheart. She is very personable and extremely nice. We had issues with our hookah, and she was very quick to come fix it for us. We have tried two different flavors, and they were both great and very smooth. They have a variety of flavor options, and we will definitely be back! read more

Probably one of the best hookah lounges in the Schaumburg area. Highly recommend this place for good hookah and amazing music. 5 star customer service. read more

Great chill spot, great hookah and awesome owner! Always have a great experience here!

Great New Spot and good amounts of parking! Amazing selection of flavors and all the hookahs are New! This place has a chill atmosphere, and you can actually breathe due to the ceiling ventilation fans!! Great for any sized groups! The customer service is awesome!! The Owner truly cares for all of her customers that come through!! Always a Blast coming in and chilling!! read more

Good place to go to avoid having to go to the city. Prices are decent: $11 per person min for a booth seat and $9 per person min for a table seat. There is also a VIP section, I think it was $18 a person? But that you have to call and reserve usually, it is a small tent type set up that can hold 10 -15 people. Food isn't too bad, there is not a huge selection but you can get a chicken or beef swarma sandwich that isn't bad and their humus is pretty good! Hooka is good too, last time we were there we did not like the hooka, the taste was bad. They corrected it and gave us a new hooka without a problem, it was very good the second time! Check out the website, it is pretty helpful as well! read more

Been coming here since a month now. Really love the new management and how they take care of the customers. The servers are courteous and owner is awesome aswell. This place is chill and the vibe is amazing. Super comfy couches. The management changed recently i think and the owner is always making new and better changes to the place and open to suggestions too. Perfect place to go and chill and hangout with friends or get work done. I absolutely love that they keep their hookahs clean and use different hookahs for seperate flavors since i smoke straight mint and cant stand taste of other flavors. Really reccomend this place! read more

I remember when I first came to this place like four years ago, I didn't even walk in the door because they were so packed. But over the years I have made this place a prime local hangout spot. It's great if you wanna chill with friends, just go and use your laptop (free wi-fi), or find a late night place to chill if you're under 21. The HUMMUS is amazing.. i love their hummus and juices and teas. If you smoke hookah, you get spoiled because most of it is premium tobacco already. But if you want to try something different try the new blends like Euphoria to get a major buzz or "knock out". It's been a favorite spot of a lot of my friends for years. On weekends they have good music and djs. TV is always on. read more

I hate taking stars off. Especially to cool hang out places. There are so few non-food lounges. But the crowds at this place are getting really obnoxious. The last time we were there, this bunch of guys started to pick a fight and throw water bottles around. We later saw them peeing on the wall of the neighboring store. Gross! Not that it's the fault of the establishment but it just doesn't feel as safe there anymore. Plus, they just can't seem to get their equipment fixed properly. Within 10 mins of puffing on your hookah, the tobacco gets really harsh. No matter how many times you ask, and the staff is really polite and accommodating, they just can't get it right. I feel really bad downgrading my review and worse about having to find a new hookah place to frequent. Dammit! Update: props to the new owners who responded to my review and addressed every one of my concerns. read more

The hookah haven among the NO SMOKING signs. Good size, nice staff, excellent tobacco selection, ok menu. Something is not quite right here, and I think it's the strange furnature choices. I think overstuffed chairs and giant pillowy things would be more suited to this place, BUT, they are doing what they can, and it's sufficent for now. If you want to hookah, give them a try. read more

I have been to this place twice now in the past month or so and I have to say that this place has is by far the best in the suburbs area. In addition, I have never had a hookah before that was smooth as what they have at Fumare and this is coming from a guy who has purchased several hookahs, premium tobaccos and coals in the past. During my first visit, I was with a friend who had ordered hummus and pita bread, I was too busy enjoying hookah but he did say that hummus was very good. I highly recommend this place, the staff is very helpful and know how to provide the best service. This is definitely going in my list of hangout spot with friends. read more

Customer Service is on point. Smiles everywhere :) The hookah is perfection. You don't even need a menu, just ask them whatever you're in the mood for, they'll make you a custom flavor. I've had many fun times here and plan to continue doing so. Thank you Fumaré read more

Honestly! I've been to many hookah bars and although they were girl was nice here . The quality of the hookah fell below my expectations. The smoke is week, the flavors are pale and could honestly say I won't be coming back. This place needs a good upgrade. For starters it would be nice if the hookah was prompt and ready to smoke. Having the customers do the work in getting the hookah started just goes to show the lack of service. I hope they are not expecting tips. Not smoking hookah in a long while looking forward to a good smoke with my partner who hasn't smoked in a wile, this place made me feel embarrassed to bring him along. What a waste of money in taste and style. read more

Such a tranquil place. Owner was super humble and nice. Love the lamps and decor as well. Recommended 100%

Been here a few times with my buddies. The "waitresses" here were super nice and timely and had great hookah suggestions! The management here though were total shitheads and treated their emplyess like total crap ive witnessed it first hand. Also customers and management would harass the waitresses all the time and management would do absolutely nothing. Pretty sure this place and their other locations aka aria will be shut down for their bad business practices, sexual harassment lawsuits, and best of all cheating the government out of tax money and paying their waitresses all in cash without even giving their server the tips that were left for them. God bless the sweetheart servers there who put up with all that shit, the service by them is the only reason I ever go read more

This lounge is under new management and it is an exceptional lounge. The people are extremely nice, the hookahs are pretty much brand new, and the facility itself is very comfortable and a great environment to socialize or even to just chill. I come both to socialize with a group of friends and other times to just chill and I've never had a bad experience even once. Every time it is a phenomenal experience and I will continue to be a loyal customer. read more

I have been to many hookah bars and have to say that this was the worst one. There was just one person serving and he was in the kitchen all the time. I had to actually go in the kitchen and ask him to change the coal/get the cheque etc. Very friendly to regular customers and ignorant to the new ones. They charge per person instead of the number of hookahs you order. Not that I mind but just saying. Highly disappointed with the service. Won't recommend this place to new customers. read more

Being that we were in the burbs so late one weekend evening we decided to check out the hookah scene in Schaumburg. It seems many hookah lounges in Schaumburg are within blocks of each other for whatever reason. I found about five listed on Yelp. One highly rated which had since closed and then Fumare which also shared ratings, so it was our destination. Great for a younger crowd, teenagers and younger 20's. My buddy and I felt out of place. When placing an order for hookah it's made at a counter in the rear, don't just sit down and wait. The DJ seems to also double as a waiter, making rounds quite often. Music was pretty good mostly dance remixes of popular alternative group songs. The hookah while flavorful had a petite or too clean effect. The flavor of the hookah was strong, but the feeling from the slight bit of tobacco was non existent. I don't smoke anything except hookah occasionally and most times even after smoking I have a nice buzz which carries me home to sleep. After leaving here I didn't feel that, so I wonder if their hookah's are tobacco free ? Maybe a fluke, who knows. I've read that some suburbs require hookah places to be tobacco free so it's not a far stretch to wonder. Since hookah is allowed here, you can freely smoke cigarettes within the café and often see employees with cigarettes in hand. Cost is by person and is also determined by where you sit. $9 for general seating and it goes up if you sit at a booth which has pillows and such on the floor or a more private area complete with dark curtains. For the two of us to smoke one flavor the charge was $20 even. A bit too expensive in my experience, but this is the suburbs. Many of the hookah's we saw in use were the smaller table top versions which most people might have at home. This place is located in a strip mall about five hundred yards behind a Taco Bell which can be seen on Golf. We passed it a few times before calling and getting complete directions. Go down the street passed the Taco bell and you will come upon it on your left next to a bartending school. If I could, I'd rate it 3.5 stars at the most. read more

Went there on a Tuesday night, nice place open till 12. I recommend the Egyptian Tea and as far as Hookah flavors just ask the owner. Like Allyson said, hard to find it's behind the Taco Bell. The service wasn't the greatest we got a faulty hookah first and it took a bit to replace. Otherwise good atmosphere, I'd go there again if I'm too lazy to drive to the city. read more

Their menu read $10 next to the hookah we ordered. When checking out we discovered that $10 meant per person. What a rip-off!

Hookahs don't work. They should fix their equipments (shisha).

This place is awesome. Nice atmosphere, even better Shiesha. Omair knows how to make the perfect mix. Great flavors and house blends. Try the sweet baby. read more

Fumare Hookah Lounge - Ahhhh - Hookah Bars Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I really enjoyed my visit. My husband and I were discussing how this was the most hospitable hookah lounge we've ever been to. The owner, Umair, seemed very knowledgeable about the hookahs and the flavors. By far the most comfortable I have ever felt in a hookah lounge, as odd as that is. Usually, I'm not expecting a lot out of the services at a lounge, but after my experience here, it's hard not to compare. Don't even get me started on the awesome flavors, there all different and unique. Once again, I'm not one to know too much about flavors and smoking, but I could definitely say that I really liked it; and I'm for sure going back. I strongly recommend Fumare to everyone that would like to get treated like family. Excellent service and excellent flavors!!!!! read more

Clean and comfortable hookah lounge with hospitable service. I went on a Sunday night when things weren't so busy and had a great mixed blend by the server based off of Captain Crunch Berries, which ended up tasting very nice. It was definitely an enjoyable and relaxing experience and I am sure to go again. read more

Very good hookah bar in the suburbs. The customer service is phenomenal. The staff came by every few minutes to make sure everything is going well for us. You can bring in food (taco bell is next door). read more

Staff is nice. The hookah is simply mediocre. Both hookahs we ordered would not warm up. The taste of the tobacco is regular.. not AlFakker. The bowls are not loaded. They charge 2 extra dollars if credit card is used. read more

Came here on a Friday night and the customer service was great! They take care of their customers and we're very accommodating! Highly recommend this hookah lounge! read more

I went here with my friends last night for the first time and it wasn't that great. We planned to go to Aria but they had a wait so the guy suggested Fumare and also offered us a 20% discount. When arriving, it was hard to find. The young girl who "took care" of us was not very good. She didn't seem professional and she didn't really know much about the flavors they offered. The hookahs weren't that great either, offering little smoke. They did play great music though so that was nice. When I do plan to smoke again, I would go somewhere else read more

I go here a few times a year when I'm feeling the itch for hookah. While I'm not a big fan of the music they play (top 40, rap) the shisha they serve is worth it. Egyptian tea, hummus, and sharing a couple different flavors with friends is an excellent way to spend the night. read more

I love the interior of this place but since Frank left it seems like this place isn't as appealing. Prices are right in the middle but there is NEVER any toilet paper, paper towels, or soap. Drink selection is not all that great but If you haven't already been here I suggest you check it out. read more

Fumare used to be my favorite hookah joint. They have the best hookah in the Chicago area. The prices are very competitive as well. My complaint is that the service has really gone downhill. For about 2 months, my friends and I set-up shop in there to do some work and spent 100-200 a week there. It seemed like I became a "regular" and all of sudden they did not need to pay attention to me. I gave it one more shot not to long ago, went in, ordered my favorite hookah and... It was horrible. I left after 15 minutes because it was so bad... I used to recommend Fumare to everyone, but unfortunately, it has gone downhill... read more

as soon as i discovered thsi place i stoppe dgoign to all other hookah bars, the atmosphere is super cool (Especially the VIP area), the prices are very reasonable and their hookah selection is the best! some i recommend are peach fuzzy navel, pink lemonade, mango or fruit cocktail. however, stay away from grape, jasmine or rose. I came here for my birthday s well and rented one of the VIP rooms, and they didn't charge me so that was pretty sweet! Also, their fruit smoothies are the best they have this special one that's made with pomegranate and something else which i can remember but the drink is purple and it is amazing. Ask for it! read more

Hookah was god awful, felt like I was inhaling ash through the hose everytime I took a puff of their nasty hookah. I would not recommend anyone to go to this hookah bar, and Omair is very disrespectful, and not attentive to the patrons at the hookah bar. Service seems like its non existent. read more

For my first time at a hookah bar, I was very disappointed. It started with walking thru the door into a huge cloud of smoke. The ventilation system could use to be improved. Everyone inside was nice enough and the hummus was okay. The pita bread tasted yeasty. The coffee was ick. The bathroom has a 1/4 chunk missing. No paper towels. And, this on a pretty empty Sunday night about 10 pm. Will not be returning to this location. read more
