Crema's Take

This Durham kava bar is a genuinely welcoming introduction to an unfamiliar beverage world, with bartenders like Cameron and Donya who explain what you're drinking without any pressure or sales pitch. Beyond traditional kava, they offer creative blends like the sugar-free Peaceful Warrior and explorer-friendly options with delta 9 and kratom, all served in a chill, study-friendly space with outdoor seating that keeps people coming back.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Absolutely my favorite place to go. The drinks are delicious, but the staff is truly the reason I keep coming back. Jess, Elijah, Mia, Phoenix, Donya, Nick — they are all so incredibly kind, knowledgable, and truly some of the coolest people I know. 10/10 recommend stopping by.

This place is incredible! I've been coming here for years. There are several kava and kratom drinks that actually taste really good, and great tasting THC and CBD drinks also if that's your thing, but that's nothing compared to the community. Come in, talk to the bar tenders,…

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…
