Root of Happiness Kava Bar | Midtown

I was thankful my server had on gloves. I sat and ate and watched the staff, one guy in particular wasn’t wearing gloves. Furthermore, he was eating out of the cold food storage while he made sandwiches… it was appalling. Then I noticed another guy stop wearing gloves as he prepared the food. I have never seen employees eating and drinking the food while serving like that….

Loved Camp Kava karaoke

The karaoke night was a great vibe. Love the Bali tea with peach and just a good atmosphere to hang with friends for a couple hours

Great kava and great atmosphere

This place is so nice. Promoting relaxation one kava tea at a time. I will be coming back for anything that's available on their menu. On today's visit I purchased the Mango Vanilla Dream. 🙂‍↕️

The quality of the kava is the best at this location! Always smooth, and a little chilled. Most drinks taste better chilled!

The atmosphere is unbeatable. Such an amazing sober community hangout spot. Absolutely love this place!

Hey Travis, I am a regular who visits all 3 locations in the area. RANCHO, Sac and Roseville. Bar Staff, Drinks and Atmosphere is Excellent. However the new Security Guard Travis needs a lot of work when approaching customers to in his words “Get paid to Make sure you have your ID” with. Really negative, bullish, overbearing attitude” (I will be 50 in June) and also a current business owner, and former District Manager of 9 Locations of the company I worked for in 2023. When I walked out to me car and back in, he didn’t even ask to see it upon return. I felt live leaving altogether. If this gets addressed and you let me know, I adjust my review to the 5 Stars everything and everyone else deserves. -Concerned Patron, Thanks

Vibe was cool, with limited food and snacks. Kava was pretty gross tbh. I've grown up with traditional kava and drank it all my life, and I never had it so bitter. They use concentrates and I'm guessing very young, not aged kava, which is so incredibly bitter you absolutely have to mix it with juice, and even then, it's still not great. Trying to drink it straight might put you on the floor, wishing you never tried it. Didn't even get the regular kava buzz either, probably because you have to dilute it to drink it. I may git it a try again, but I prefer to make it myself at home.

Honestly feel discriminated, so I went in today and i was refused to be served and there is not a solid reason on why. I would love to talk to a higher up manager and its all on camera. About a week ago i got there at 12:57 i got my kava and i asked a simple question “would you guys have a charger so i could turn on my phone to unlock my car” the guy there word for word said “WTF IS TAKING SO LONG” exactly at 1:02 and most definitely i did response back by saying everytime i come here it looks like you have a personal vendetta against me or something.

We can look at the footage to and you can see me walking out the door and turn back and ask the girl while pointing at my phone asking if i could use a charger

I am really not a review type of guy because I think it’s petty for the owner don’t want anything to affect the business. They did not serve me kava when they did yesterday and don’t refused be I feel a little discriminated you can check cameras as well I would love to talk to someone high up with proof I can prove it where they just don’t want serve me I don’t know if it’s bcz of my culture.

Camera will say it all where they served me yesterday and not today I come everyday and get 3 clouds

5 for atmosphere vibe is cool and it’s a nice venue but the OG Davis location is my fav and does the drinks and music right along w ambience.
The same drink I get there didn’t make the same when I got it here - red Bali tea so I don’t think our drinks were made right which was a bummer
