    Boulders own kava spot. I've decided to update my review because my experience isn't what everyone else might say. I've been coming into the root for years even when I lived in lakewood. They used to have a pong table and that was pretty fun for a while. Chess is good here and sometimes making a new friend.

    Roots has extremely helpful staff who are very generous with their time and knowledge. I learned a lot about the process of preparing the drinks while I was there.

    Duke's adage "There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind," brings to mind this joint. They're usually hip to changing the tunes if you just ask. VERY diluted kava (reverse tolerance jive yadayada). Some really pleasant employees and some glacial service. Bula!

    Love this place! Great atmosphere, good community, and amazing staff! Lots of live music/events at night and a chill spot to work during the day. Jazz, Victor & Miles are the best! <3 xoxoxo - Sophie

    Got the pleasure of being served by Marissa yesterday!! Hands down one of the best server/bartenders! Very attentive and knowledgeable! The overall experience was a 10/10! But Marissa, that girl made it a 20/10!! Stop in and look for Marissa!

    When my AirPod Pros were mistakenly taken by a mudbud the manager of Root Kava Co went above and beyond. He searched the video camera footage to find out who took them and used his extensive network to track them down. As a result my AirPods were returned within 30 minutes! 10/10 great atmosphere too.

    Tried the kava for the first time and the guy was super helpful and nice. Stuff has a very earthy taste and I was surprised it was cold! But I liked the effect on my anxiety. It quieted the voice in my head

    Pretty fun place to play board games and drink kava and Kratom. Sober bar. Great experience on a Saturday night. Had awesome local art on the walls

    Fun non-alcoholic bar serving up kava and kratom drinks. Friendly staff and a fun atmosphere, with several video games stations, make this a worthwhile stop. Open late, as well!

    I love this place so much. I’ve met many good friends here, celebrated holidays here, my birthday, and it’s the spot in town that I love being a regular at! Great staff, environment, and drinks!

    A new spin on kratom, one in which I welcome with open arms. Can't say I have ever had carbonated brewed kratom drinks before. The bar tender even made me a his choice drink and it was good without the bitter bite kratom can have. Not my usual scene people wise but I will be back again, drink prices are good and the tender is great, friendly and cool.

    I’m from FL on a personal trip. This was the first kava bar I went to in Colorado. The actual space is bigger than your average kava bar/what I’m used to. The set up of the bar and the fact that there are several couches and seating arrangements inside of this place makes it a really nice place to sit and relax and hang out with friends. It looked like the young woman at the bar (Jasmine) was the only employee there at the time. I felt like the owner should have two people on staff for a bar of this size - one to tend bar and the other to brew kava/kratom. It actually got pretty busy around 3/4pm and she went to go grab some food. Anyway, it seemed like she was a little stressed out. When she went to get food, another employee who happened to be at the bar took over. It took him a few minutes to notice that I was waiting for him at the bar. He seemed like a nice guy, but a little inattentive. Later, when I was ready to cash out I spent another five minutes sitting at the bar waiting for one of them to ask me if I needed anything else because they were engaging in conversation with the other patrons. Overall, this is a nice space and a cool place to hang out, but I honestly felt a little unwelcome and the product (kava) was a little strong for my liking… for other people I’m sure this would be a benefit.

    This place is the essence of the Boulder vibe. Great atmosphere, great kava/kratom, and everyone (staff and regulars) is super friendly and welcoming. They've even got a bunch of board games! Highly recommend.

    We came here looking for a coffee shop because Google suggested it. Not a coffee shop, but a tea bar! The kavatender was super friendly and helpful and we ended up staying for drinks. Excellent atmosphere and really nice folks. Would come again (on purpose this time!)
