KCAL captured what makes Kavahana unique, a welcoming social space rooted in community, cultural tradition, and of course – yummy treats! Kava has been enjoyed across the Pacific Islands for thousands of years in ceremonies and gatherings. It’s known for promoting relaxation while keeping the mind clear.

Our Kava Nectar carries that same heritage into a modern, social setting, creating a refreshing alternative for those exploring mindful, alcohol-free experiences.
At our Santa Monica café, guests enjoy a variety of handcrafted drinks, from chilled mocktails to naturally tingly nectar shots. The atmosphere encourages connection and intention, real conversations, relaxed energy, and shared presence. Whether you’re new to kava or already familiar with its effects, you’ll find something that fits your lifestyle and mood.

Kava’s safety and benefits are supported by global organizations dedicated to quality and research. Kavahana is proud to collaborate with the International Kava Organization (IKO) and the Kava Coalition, both of which promote education, transparency, and sustainable practices across the worldwide kava community.
We’re deeply grateful to KCAL News for helping share our story with Los Angeles and beyond.
