Nice location for studying or doing some work. I didn't know what kava was, they were very nice explaining to the extend I was curious. There was no unsolicited suggestions/encouragement towards any drink they were serving which I appreciated. I ended up getting a non-kava unsweetened drink, asked for suggestions and was happy with my drink. I was there for couple of hours, drinking water from my bottle after my drink was finished, and I was not bothered once. Can't think of anything I didn't like, wasn't less welcoming than a nice library café.

Da Kine’s Kava is a welcoming spot where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy a chill atmosphere with great drinks. The staff make the experience even better, phoenix is always friendly and attentive, while Cameron brings great energy and keeps the vibe bussin and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you feel right at home.

Great spot, good vibes, excellent bartenders. Specifically Cameron and Donya behind the bar always serve up the magic and chill tunes. The sugar-free peaceful warrior is the best drink on the menu imo.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and every experience has been positive. As someone who been to a LOT of other kava bars, I’ve have never had a drink as good as the Mai Tai kava they serve here. Great vibe, awesome staff, wonderful drinks, couldn’t recommend this place enough!

A hidden gem for studying. Chill vibe, great kava, and Cameron the bartender is the best. Super friendly, makes a great drink, and his playlist is really good. Definitely coming back.
