“ I like this environment for meeting friends and enjoying a non alcoholic drink. Comfortable loungey feel to the bar. ”

“ The atmosphere is unique. The kava was very interesting. Service was awesome and the pinball was good ”

“ Destiny was so nice, I was sitting at a table that was kinda dirty and she said " do you want me to wipe that down for you so you could be more comfortable? And it was just the kinda hospitality that you don't really get elsewhere! 10/10 for Destiny ”

“ Second time trying this place. First time I had alcohol prior so wasn't sure if it had any effects on me. Today I came in with an empty stomach (not purposely). Barista recommended Cloudbreaker so I went with it, with blackberry flavor and paired with pineapple. Did not taste the blackberry at all. It was just all earthy and bitter. After one sip my mouth felt like I had just visited the dentist. By the end of the cup, I was very loopy. Forget shots of liquor. This drink does the trick in only half a cup and for $10! I'd definitely be sure to eat something before hand because the nausea is real. Aside from nausea, I'm experiencing (present tense because I'm writing this as I'm here sipping on my water) loopiness and the desire to make friends with everyone. Definitely a place I'd come back to. Especially because it's so laid back. People are here with laptops and books. ”

“ My friend took me here while I was in town and it was a pretty wild experience. I had whatever was recommended which I think was called the Cloud Breaker, but whatever it was it was pretty fun. After that, I had a Mixed Kava drink with juice which was better tasting. It was a really cool vibe and very comfortable to hang out and get some work done or just hang out with some friends. The Kava-tenders were very helpful and answered all my questions. Pretty cool experience. ”

“ I check Yelp reviews before going to try something new, I like to read other people's reviews, which are often helpful, but decided recently that I should start doing my own! So this is my first and I wanted to write this up since this was a brand new experience for me. Root of Happiness is almost like a bar but no alcohol. I don't drink anyway so it suited me great. Nice vibe. Lighting is low. Chill atmosphere. A friend from work treated me to some Kava, which I've never tried before. It was interesting, I slept well that night. I'd go back but probably not often because I'm more of a smoothie/fresh juice kind of gal. Would be cool if it was also a juice bar. ”

“ Came here on a rainy Saturday afternoon to have my cousins try kava for the first time. The vibe inside is like a dark tiki bar. It's pretty mellow. I've had kava before at another shop and maybe it's due to the difference between Fijian and Hawaiian kava (I had Fijian last time and Hawaiian here), but this version tasted much less bitter than I expected. The high tide is similar to mugwort juice, which I love. The rip tide was more concentrated. I had to remember to swirl the powder around in my cup before ingesting. The cashier was so nice. I didn't catch her name but she was open to explaining all the different options to us. My brother got the cocktail with a kava shot because he was scared of drinking the tea straight up. It tasted like juice but he didn't feel it much. I felt a full body high after finishing my drink. We were able to sit in the soft couches. I expected there to be more games or activities provided but there wasn't anything. I saw some people studying and casually hanging with friends. All in all, I think it's a worthwhile place to spend time in. They had a great approach for first-time drinkers of kava. Kudos! ”

“ Kava is probably not for me but I'm really glad I tried it here. Tried the classic first timer mix which as other reviews perfectly described it, tastes like bitter earthy dirt water. It did have some slight physical affects like mouth numbing despite it being my first time. If it's your first time, be sure to mention it so you can get some background on Kava and what is available on the menu. More than the kava, I enjoyed the ambiance here. There's lots of games to choose from including jenga, chess, exploding kittens etc. that you can borrow from the bar. Nice place to chill. ”
