Rooted Kava Bar

A really laid back place with couches up front and outdoor benches (smoking section) behind the building. The music was good (old school hip hop) but that was also because a DJ was spinning for a charity event going on. This was my first time trying Kava and chugging doubles was probably a mistake, especially after the first sip numbed my mouth, but i would definitely try again.

Very chill and relaxing atmosphere. Good vibes, service, and great menu. This was my first Kava bar and I have already recommended to family and friends, can't wait to go back. You can relax inside at the bar, on the couches, play cards/games at the tables. They also have a back patio which is smoke/vape friendly. They have another room which was an art gallery that apparently they do events in, that seems like it would be fun. Definitely a great place to go with friends or even just casually, socially and get to know other's in a safe comfortable environment. Not to loud or any sketchy vibes. Go check it out, also the menu was super affordable, kava drinks starting at $5 and the first one was on the house just to see if you like it.

Very nice place to hangout. First time trying Kava tea, the bartender was very friendly and taught us a great deal about Kava, very cool and relaxing experience overall. The place is cosy and chill went around 2-4 pm, the acai bowls were tasty and they had a nice variety of Kava tea flavors, my favorite one was ginger.

As a 1st time visitor to San Diego, I felt like a tourist everywhere I went while on vacation until I took a seat at the kava bar. Here the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. The space was comfortable and the owners helped my sister and I feel right at home. Being that it was our first time there, we were walked through all the flavors offered & all the effects of the different drinks were explained to us in detail, they really know their stuff! Wish I wasn't just passing through so I could spend more time here and get to know the regulars better, but at least now I have a great place to recommend to others! Luckily I got to make it back a 2nd time before my trip ended just to verify that the experience was not just a 1 time thing & the good vibes are deff true!

Super down to earth family place. Children and let's are welcome, you can sit on cushions, couches or chairs under their indoor tree, people are super nice, the people who work there are very happy to teach you about the kava drink and they also serve kambucha (sp?) - both in several flavors. They have a deck outside for smokers and do painting-and-kava classes in a separate room now and then. It feels really good to be in this place.
