About Gather Coffee & Kava Bar

Gather Coffee & Kava Bar is a welcoming spot known for its strong Kava, said to be the best in San Diego. The tingling sensation of their Kava is reminiscent of Hawaiian Kava. The cafe has a spacious and chill atmosphere, making it a great place to hang out, work, or chat with friendly locals. The staff is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain Kava, ensuring everyone feels comfortable. A knowledgeable Kava tender is available to assist. The cafe's dog, Bomber, often hangs out and allows for petting. While Kava is the specialty, it is suggested that a non-Kava drink selection could be expanded. This inclusive and community-centered sober space is praised for its friendly staff, who are passionate about creating a welcoming environment. Customers appreciate the attentive service and the camaraderie that makes this place special, especially on Thursdays when drinks are half off. Recent visitors say the relaxed, fun vibes and cool outdoor area with games make it a great place to be yourself. Located in North Park, it offers easy access to the surrounding area with many food options and things to explore. The staff’s friendliness and the presence of sweet dogs add to the cozy environment, making it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.
