Roots and Leaves: Casa De Kava - Kava Bar Experience

This is a night life oasis in a desert of failing bars and cliche bourgeois Santa Fe bar/restaurants. I stumbled upon this place for a late night study session, and found both the tea tenders and the patrons to be authentic, enjoyable and chill. I had some of the most enriching conversations with the regulars, and really got there was a sense of community in this place. The atmosphere is comfortable with big leather chairs, a large bar, and it felt like a safe place to be for all. Great place to meet friends, get some work done, and they even have a performance space. I'll definitely be back.

So happy to find a Kava and Kratom spot in the area. All the tenders are lovely and the atmosphere is chill. 🖤

Love the people and vibe of Kava bar! Great experience, chill atmosphere, great drinks. Only suggestion is to get at least 2 people (or more) covering happy hour, we had 1 guy trying to serve over 50 people.

They were co welcoming and though I was from out of town, they treated me as part of their community. The kava was wonderful and strong. If you are passing through town I definitely recommend swinging by!

Bar tenders will steal your stuff and act like its your fault. Been an increasing regular for the past few months, until I left my hat one night and it was subsequently taken by an employee with no intention of returning it. As soon as I realized I had forgotten something, I called and was assured they had it and would hold it until I returned to get it. By the time I made it back a few days later, i was informed by a bartender that another employee had decided to take it home and keep it. When I raised concern over the fact I was assured it would be kept for me, I was told it was “just a bummer” as the bartender waked away dismissively. I tried to ask two other employees about it, both of which told me basically the same thing, one even saying they knew who had it but would not tell me. Absolutely absurd, unprofessional and scummy behavior from a community I was just beginning to feel at home with. Frustrating, disappointing and just plain mean honestly. Would not recommend unless you enjoy having personal items stolen from you by the people working.
