I loved coming here! Just good vibes and chill atmosphere. One of the few kava lounges in the Bay Area. I travel all the way from San Francisco just to visit and I have loved my experience everytime ?

The current staff is very judgemental of the customers appearance. I used to visit this place when it opened and it was very warm and welcoming. Something happened and the staff was extremely rude.

My first Kava experience didn’t disappoint! Upon learning this was my first time trying Kava, the barista offered us a ceremony to try it first and explained the origin and types of Kava to me.Tried the Colada and warm special Kava. Def a fun experience that’s quintessential Berkeley / Oakland. Check them out if you are in the area.

What a great addition to the neighborhood. I stopped by here with a friend. We were surprised the place was packed, and everyone (including the servers), were so sweet and kind.The atmosphere was lush. Full of beautiful decor, a huge thriving plant wall, large windows, and numerous matching couches to sit soft on. They also have traditional bar seating.Their menu is great! Lots of options. You can order bucha on tap, or a flight to sample. They have a variety of kava strains, in which you can order it plain or choose a variety of kava mocktails. You can also order a variety of teas (green, black, yerba).I would 10/10 recommend this place! :)

The people who work here are mad weird and selective about who they wanna be chill with. Bad vibes.

What a lovely place! Came here today with 2 friends to try kava for the first time. We told the (kavista?) it was our first time to try kava. She was wonderful and informative! She explained everything, invited us to ask questions, and made some recommendations. We felt so welcome!In addition to the incredible welcoming staff, the space is gorgeous. One wall is covered in live, growing plants that are all healthy & well tended. It gives a great vibe to the indoor seating space. One of us loves indoor plants & admired their plant wall so much that the tenders let us take home 2 small clippings (plant babies), to grow at home.The lighting & music are thoughtful & pleasant as well.We enjoyed our visit, would recommend highly to newcomers to kava like ourselves!
Such a fun community! Super fun to go for a sober date, or read a book, or hang out with a friend. Or go solo and just enjoy the vibes!

A friend had her birthday party here and it was my first time trying kava. I really enjoyed sampling the drink selection that was offered and the atmosphere was refreshingly laid back and friendly.

Amazing staff and yummy drink menu. Always has cool music and laidback atmosphere. Grateful for an alternative to alcohol! Gorgeous charming gem in oakland. Must try!
