Root Of Happiness
211 F St, Davis, CA
Crema's Take
“This Davis spot is a welcoming gateway to kava culture, where passionate staff members like Carson genuinely enjoy introducing newcomers to this earthy Pacific ceremonial drink and creative house specials like the Cloud Breaker. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for an unhurried afternoon, sip something genuinely restorative, and feel like you're part of something a bit more intentional than your typical coffee run.”

I was very wishy washy on trying this place. Let me tell you I’m so glad I finally walked in here! I knew nothing about kava until I met Carson. Carson can answer any questions you have (very knowledgeable). He has a great sense of humor. When your having a bad day come into kava and see Carson he will turn it around. This establishment will make you feel welcomed and relaxed. 10/10 Carson for the win on his AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!!!
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.
It’s a great opportunity to try a traditional ceremonial drink from the Pacific region. Yes, it tastes like a root…cuz it’s supposed to! (Legend, has it that the First Peoples discovered kava’s photochemical properties by observing the behavior of spaced out, loopy rodents 🐀clustered around the kava vine’s base, having gnawed on the root.) We did ours with a “chaser “a pieces of watermelon on a stick, because we didn’t want to dilute our mask Original flavor.
A great spot to chill and grab a relaxing drink. Health tea to fuel the body for a relaxing afternoon or a much needed decompression for the evening. Tasty healthy and vitalizing for the self. The staff was very helpful and understanding of how to cater to your needs and fulfillment. Great spot to hang with some friends or yourself. Experience everything and check this place out.
Really cool theme-driven place! I’ve been to three previous kava places and I always seem to find really kind knowledgeable staff and fantastic help with recommendations! I apparently went during happy hour and chose a coconut pineapple infusion that was so smooth and earthy and made my bike ride quite enjoyable! Lol
