Danielle (the owner) states that this café is for those who wish to be able to come hang out and unwind. To sit and listen to some tunes, socialize with a date or even for that parent/mom who simply needs to come in for a few minutes & have a kickback before returning to the carpool line. All with Fair-trade/organic, quality, lab tested ingredients. The baristas are knowledgeable & friendly. When mine began pouring up my tea (luckily I'm a self proclaimed herbalist who was able to select the tea best suited for my mood). I chose a decaf that included strawberry & ginger plus a few other loose leaves. It was needed as I noticed the temperature outside declining from my time of entry to exiting. Today was the grand opening & it's still going on. They had giveaways, food, samples & raffles. I felt as though I could sense the aura of true friendships and like-minded individuals expressing happiness for their comrade through good energy. Jovial if you will- Overall the vibe at Kava is just what it's moniker depicts- Culture A good one at that!!

Our airbnb had a little coffee maker, but the pod coffee that was provided was not cutting it that…read morefriday morning. We decided before we got to the convention center, we'd stop and buy a cup of coffee. Bula was literally across the street from where we were staying, so we walked over minutes after they opened. It was convenient. Was that the only time we made that coffee run in our 3+ days there in the neighborhood? Yes. Why? It was expensive. Neither my friend nor I buy coffee at coffee shops. So the $17 (may have been $18 after tip, don't recall) was a little bit of a sticker shock. Though our coffee was good - We both ordered the bulletproof coffee - We had all the makings of bulletproof coffee at the airbnb (We had planned on making our own coffee at the house so we had MCT oil, homemade ghee, and heavy cream). We just needed stronger coffee. So we went to the store, got some bustelo, and saved ourselves some cash. Bula is a cute little spot though. And the guy at the counter was very nice.

My husband is not a coffee drinker but figured he'd try the kava. He was offered his first cup free, and the gentleman behind the counter provided a bunch of details on what Kava was and said you should never drink it alone, he explained to my husband some of the rituals surrounding the drink and they had a drink together. We sat in the back talking, there were a lot of games offered if we wanted to play anything. Definitely a cool atmosphere. We would definitely go back.

Possibly because I thought it was part of the smoke shop. Anyhow, the guy who was behind the bar was super nice. I guess there were friends or regulars who were all seated at the bar. The coffee shop gave off very chill vibes. There were 3 bar tables behind the bar. The seating in the back section was couches. I didn't go back there, but it looked like a comfy place to hang out. Before giving me my coffee, the guy who served me asked if I would like any flavor in my coffee. Normally it wouldn't be necessary, but I saw a blackberry flavor right in the front. It was a first time request apparently. I like raspberry and figured blackberry would be just as good. It was really good. The coffee was really smooth which made the flavor of blackberry go really well with it. I guess you could call it a blackberry latte! Yum!

I will be back. So…read moreI've been wanting to try kava for awhile, saw this spot and decided what the heck I may as well pop in and check it out. The customer service was da bomb dot com. I wasn't sure what to expect when I said it was my first time trying it but deffo did not expect a whole kava CEREMONY (I loved it). I got to try straight kava, kava with creamer, and kava chai flavoured (this was my favourite). While I didn't feel a "kava buzz," my body felt more relaxed and I had less back pain (I've been dealing with muscle pains due to working physical jobs for a few years now). So yes A++++ customer service. I love that they have a pool table as well.

I've visited Heights Lounge several times recently because my husband enjoys working from there…read more Unfortunately, on at least three separate occasions, the kava-tenders have treated me with noticeable hostility and dismissiveness, leaving me feeling unwelcome as a customer. On one visit, I approached the bar with wet hands and my arms outstretched because there were no paper towels in the women's restroom. I asked for a paper towel. The kava-tender told me to use a drink napkin instead. I politely explained that there were no paper towels in the restroom and asked again. Rather than handing me the paper towel roll that was sitting immediately beside her behind the bar, she picked it up, walked past me, carried it across the room, and restocked the restroom while I stood there with wet hands waiting. At no point did she offer me a single paper towel, despite my asking twice. This experience, combined with similar dismissive interactions on other visits, made me feel genuinely unwelcome. Based on my experiences, I cannot recommend this lounge. UPDATE -- August 12, 2026: Lowering my review from 2 stars to 1 star. I decided to give Heights Cava Lounge another chance today and unfortunately had yet another negative experience with the service. For context, my spouse and I are both attorneys, and we occasionally come here to sit and work. While we may stay for an extended period of time, we consistently order throughout our stay and tip well. We have never treated this establishment as a free workspace or occupied a table for hours without patronizing the business. Today, I came in with my spouse and business partner to get some work done. Almost immediately after we sat down, the bartender came over and told us that we needed to purchase something. My spouse ordered a hookah, which is a shared item for the table. The bartender then specifically looked at me and told me that I also needed to individually purchase something. At that point, I left. The interaction was particularly strange because the establishment was not crowded. We were not occupying a table that another customer needed, there was no wait for seating, and our table had already made a purchase. Had there been a clearly communicated per-person minimum purchase policy, that would be one thing. Instead, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily confrontational and directed specifically at me. This is also not an isolated experience. I originally gave this establishment two stars because the service has repeatedly been rude and unwelcoming despite the fact that we are paying customers who consistently order and tip well. I cannot speak to anyone's motivation, but after multiple visits and multiple negative interactions, today's experience genuinely felt targeted. I don't know why I consistently have this type of experience with the customer service here, but at this point the pattern is difficult to ignore. I have given this establishment multiple opportunities because I genuinely wanted to like it. Unfortunately, the customer service continues to be the reason I don't. My original two-star review is now one star.
