Fig Cafe      437 Old York Rd Jenkintown, PA 19046 (215) 885-4656
Friendly hookah lounge and cafe in downtown Jenkintown. Bellydancing on Friday nights and some Monday nights. Good, fresh vegetarian Middle Eastern food. Drinks include coffees, teas, sodas, and yummy fruit smoothies. Large selection of shishas and water pipes, from what I could see. Waleid, the manager, likes to bring out his doumbek for the dance nights, and he always has truly funky videos playing. He likes goths. Come on out!
