The place is nice but I was driven out by the death metal music they chose to play. Music definitely didn’t fit the atmosphere of a coffee shop or their decor.

Kava Kasa has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Grand Rapids to get work done or hang out. The first time I came in, I had no idea what kava was. The barista, or kavatender, did a really thorough job of explaining the effects/benefits of this dried root made into a cold tea from the South Pacific. I ordered a double rare and felt the anxiety relief and relaxation immediately. I work from home and come in to work. The owner and staff are welcoming and friendly. The crowd of regulars are a rag tag group of misfit nerds who are fun to chat with about their special interests. They regularly host fun events like trivia, bingo, and game night. Overall, Kava Kasa has cultivated a welcoming and safe space for people who are looking for a hang out that's not a bar. While kava can be pricey, so can daily lattes or night out at a bar. It depends on what you're into, but if you're tired of hipster coffee houses and bars, come in and check in out!

Kava is a perfect addition to my life. Especially since becoming Sober. The vibes are that of a cafe but with a grounding, inviting, community vibe. I like to hole away in my own world with a cloud breaker and some head phones. It's a great place to be. ☕️

First time up there. I had hoped the drink we had worked better for our mind and body. Had a short buzz thou. If your into this sorta thing give it a try.
Great little place in East Town. Friendly staff. Loved the atmosphere. Didn't try Kava this time, but will be going back to give it a try.

Kava Kasa offers a wonderful experience centered around the traditional consumption of the root tea kava! Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful people, and recurring events each week. Always a favorite place to stop over the years!

Kava kasa is amazing! It’s very cozy and has a nice vibe. The staff is friendly and the kava is good quality.

The atmosphere of the place is fantastic, very comfortable place to sit with some friends and relax after awhile. The Cloudbreaker was fantastic, highly recommend if you like Kava.The Blue Lotus tea was also delicious.We will definitely be returning in the future, I wish there were more places with this kind of quality around.We drove around 45 minutes to come here and it was completely worth it.

Neat little joint with a cool atmosphere, friendly staff, and large selection of kava flavorings/additives to make your kava experience more unique.
They no longer offer student discounts?
