Café/hookah bar coming to Annandale
A Lebanese restaurant and hookah bar called Fumée Café is set
to open at 7250 Columbia Pike in central Annandale. The co-owners, Khali Dib and Hussein Zein, hope the place could open by April 1, although it looks like there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done inside.

It will be a fast-casual restaurant offering coffee
drinks, such as cappuccino and espresso, and sandwiches on the first floor and a hookah
bar on the rooftop terrace. Eventually, Lebanese specialties will be added to
the menu. Dib and Zein are not planning to serve alcohol.

Fumée Café will be open 10-2 a.m. on weekdays and 10-4 a.m. on weekends. There will be seating for 80 to 100 people. Zein says the place will offer a chill, relaxed atmosphere.
The building is on the site of the former Sunset Grille,
which closed in 2012. A new building was constructed on that site in 2014. Plans for a restaurant fell through, and that space has remained vacant since
then. The other side of the building is occupied by New York Pizza Factory,
which recently expanded.

When is Glory Days going to open?
That's a good question.
FB page says "some time this summer." Bring on summer.

Quick question. I've often asked younger people if what they smoke in hookah is "intoxicating" They all deny it has any effect.
So, this fast-casual restaurant and coffee bar that serves up to 100 people, but does NOT serve alcohol, will be open until 2 AM weeknights and 4 AM on weekends.
MUST BE SOME STRONG COFFEE.
YES. VERY STRONG. PLEASE SEND HELP.
It is too bad it is a hookah bar because I would love to go eat some Leabanese food. I love the idea of something but Korean but hookah is not family friendly. I will not be partaking of this place.
I think the cafe and hookah areas are separate, sounds like the smoking is on the rooftop terrace
I am so excited Glory Days is coming to Barcroft!
