Very cozy atmosphere and my first time trying Kava was great! Can’t wait to go back and have some more, also I loved the cup that it was served in. Doug was super friendly and knowledgeable about Kava!

As a local, this was on my list of places to try for a while. I was disappointed with a lack of clear menu, the menu they did have was super limited, and the only kava available was raw, no flavors/mixers/chasers. I’ve had a decent amount of raw kava before and it all tastes like dirt - which I get but it’s not my thing. When I mentioned this to the bartender, he assured me his tasted differently, It did not. In addition, the vibe was off. My biggest complaint is that all the seating options are awkward. There is not one seating option with a back, you have to choose between sitting at the bar or on awkward, tiny, wooden blocks. This space is not conducive for groups or conversation. I would suggest offering board games, but there are no tables to play the games on. A really cool concept, awesome potential with the product they serve but it missed the mark on a few important things.

Alright. So. The tea tasted bad period and it costs triple what is listed online. But that’s not what is most concerning to me. My partner and I had never heard of Kava before and we thought this was just a normal tea shop. The “effects” of each drink NEED to be listed. My partner is feeling sick because of it. I did more research and Kava can cause lots of side effects apart from the muscle relaxation and calmness or the euphoric feeling of other types. It can cause nausea and liver damage among many other things. It can impair your ability to safely drive. In lots of places it is a regulated substance and information about it should be disclosed regardless of the fact that it is legal and unregulated in North America. It is noted on their website but people who walk in or just see that this place is a “tea house” need to know what they are consuming. Additionally, for anyone who finds the owner as strange as we did, it’s just because he was super high on kava.

This place is beautiful and inviting. The vibe is super relaxed and the owner Doug is very knowledgeable. The tea and non alcoholic can selection is good and the kava is smooth. If you're looking for a relaxing place to have conversation or work, this is a good place for that.

Obsessed 😍 Various hot teas from around the world, which come as 3 servings/steepings. They also have chilled "chill out" sparkling blends (kava, cbd, etc. ). The tea-tender (is that how you say it?) was incredibly knowledgeable about the botanical properties, steeping process and enjoyed explaining the menu. Tried 3 different ones, such a great selection. The setting is comfortable, clean and ambient. So glad to find a café setting that offers a variety of health tonics - including kombucha on tap!
