Really friendly and original place with a homey lounge feel. There is a pool tables area, a video game little lounge, and a large bar area with dj booth and space for live bands. They serve kava and kratom teas and cocktails along with vegan finger food. The bartenders are super friendly, and the vibe is warm, chilled, and trendy.As they are open 7 days a week all year long, it's a nice little spot to gather with friends and relax any day and even late nights as it stays open until 2 am. If you're interested in checking the benefits of Kava and Kratom concoctions with a chill, hipster crowd, stop by, and you'll definitely make some new friends too!

As a older adult, I enjoy going to this establishment very much. There is a nice mixture of ages and demographics, and everybody is very sweet. The owner Mark, his GM Fayna and his staff are very accommodating and helped me learn about the different botanical drink options and since I’ve been going there, my health has improved (i believe it’s due to their recommendations). I prefer holistic and natural approachsto my well-being, and I have become a regular of Leaves and Roots. I have also recommended them to my friends and family.

Great vibes at this super chill spot. I had a delicious chai tea latte mixed with cacao! ?☕ I really enjoyed their home made oat milk. They have games, a meditation/mindful movement corner and a packed event calendar.

Trendy hideaway on an alley. A comfortable lounge with couches, video games, a few high tables, and a bar. It also has a pool room. The bartender was super friendly and attentive. They have a limited menu, and I almost busted out laughing and walked out when I found out that all their food is prepackaged frozen food that they heat-up in several air fryers they have at the bar, but I was hungry and didn't feel like trying to find another vegan place. The food was OK, what you would expect from frozen food. Didn't have anything to drink cause I was disappointed by the food.I'd go back to try their drinks and hang out in their video game lounge or pool room.Parking: Few parking spots in the alleyway.Kid-friendliness: It's not a kids kind of place.

I don’t mean this review to be mean, but I’m confused why this business has such a high rating.My husband and I visited, expecting a lively atmosphere and yummy vegan food. When we arrived, most of the seats at the bar were filled with laptops(?) with few people in sight- the only other patrons seemed to be a handful of gamer dudes.The cashier was friendly and explained what kava and krater were to us.I appreciate that they have vegan snacks here but they’re frozen items that are heated up, resold for a heavy markup, and actively taste bad (we had the pizza and chicken nuggets).Two stars for having all vegan food (yay!), my husband enjoying the kratom, and the nice cashier but I otherwise don’t have anything positive to say about this place.

I went to their open mic night a month ago with a friend and it was very fun and well organized. Got to sing 2 songs and saw lots of musicians with instruments perform original songs (like myself). Would return!Parking: Limited spots during the day but more open at night. Free street parking is a short walk.

Kyra not being there is pretty disappointing. She legit was the only reason I came. The prices are too high for me to go if she’s not there she’s what made the pricing bearable.
