I'm born and raised in Hawaii and even then, Kava isn't something so readily available at a cafe. The tingling sensation of kava on my tongue brought me back to the nostalgia of being home in the islands. But aside from that, it's a cool spot, very spacious and welcoming. Everyone there was very chill and I even was able to get some work done on a Tuesday. The kava is great, definitely a hole in the wall spot.

Knowledgeable Kava tender. Fun place to hang out and get some work done or just chat with some friendly folks. Bonus dog Bomber hangs out a lot and lets you pet him. I wish they served more non-kava drinks though.

First time visit to this Kava/coffee bar. Basically vacant the time we went in. We ordered the large Original Kava and it was quite good. Maybe the place is busier at other times but if you want a more social scene then Kava Collective might be more your style. Dropping in to grab a quality Kava, this is the place!

I love this place. I have been to a few kava bars in the past, but something about the community of people at Gather Kava Bar, is something that is unmatched by the others. That "something" is not just the incredible Kava Drinks, but the staff. I have had nothing but welcoming, warm, and pleasant interactions with every team member, including the owner. The charging ports are a nice touch, considering I'm always working and in need of a charge! The menu is awesome. I've learned a lot about Kava from the staff as well. As someone who's been avoiding/changing direction from a traditional "bar" setting, this place is perfect. So just go already.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff more than happy to spend time teaching you about kava. Exactly the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for after an intense Friday. So happy we randomly stumbled upon Gather. Thank you for making us feel welcome :)

A friend and I were looking for a place to go after a show and found Gather Coffee. Gather has a really fantastic atmosphere and vibe. It feels like a chill, trendy bar. We're not huge kava drinkers so we got kombucha which was tasty. Dan came by and generously explained kava to us and let us try some. The flavored kava shots were pretty tasty and had a mild anesthetic quality. We both agreed we would definitely come back to hang out. Thanks for the great service Dan!

Kava is an acquired taste. The flight consisted of six drinks. The first tasting was plain and disgusting. The other five drinks got better with each one flavored. Shannon, the owner, poured each drink and explained what kava was and how to drink it. The bar was dark with loud music from the 80s and 90s. Overall, it was a fun and unique experience.
