Awa Kava & Coffee

Awa Kava is such a cool little spot. I stopped here with a friend on a Wednesday night and this place was surprisingly busy. This place is complete with board games, a fire pit outside, and a cool vintage-house aesthetic. We asked the kavatender what was good on the menu, and he recommended the Tongan kava with caramel flavor. The flavor was pretty bitter but had a pleasant effect. I loved the atmosphere more than my drink, but overall it was a pleasant experience. Hoping I can try one of their different menu options if I’m ever back in Flagstaff.

First experience with Kava and this place was incredible.

Judah (sp?) was behind the bar and super friendly. Fully understood my newness and explained his take on Kava. I gave home some basic tastes I was looking for and he mixed up a hot Awa Lava Latte… it was awesome.

I hung out and took in the vibe scrolling through my phone nonsense. It was a super neighborly place. A few regulars came in and hung out, a couple of people with dogs.

There’s a sitting area and a bar area as well as a few small tables inside. The outside patio looked good but it was not what I was looking for.

They don’t mind if you bring food to eat there.

There is a parking lot out back to avoid having to pay for street parking

I had a muddy chai as my second drink and enjoyed the kava numbness on my tongue.

Had the greatest dreams that night.

Will be back when I’m in town again. Thanks a ton Judah.

First and second time it was great. However, the third time we went in the barista substituted almond milk for real (cows) milk and then refused to give us a refund. Left feeling cheated. There are several other great places within a block or two so I suggest walking on by this place and supporting the nearby shops who will treat you fairly.

Cozy little spot with drinks I've never heard of before.
Kratom teas, kava root drinks, and of course espresso.
The barista educated me about my selection and gave great recommendations for how to make my drink more enjoyable.
Tons of comfy chairs and local art for sale.

I asked politely for them to turn their metal music down (at 6 in the morning) because there are houses next door and the employee rolled his eyes and made a snarky comment, then proceeded to turn the music up. These guys always have their music blaring and I don’t care cause it’s at a decent hour, but 6 in the morning?? With no concern about their neighbors, good local spot? Nah these guys are rude. Also the drinks are bland and taste like dirt.

Love this little place! Such a great vibe, great drinks. The employees are always so kind and helpful. Even the other patrons are lovely.

This place is awesome, not a liquor serving bar but it could be your new year resolution to ditch the booze and switch it for the stuff being sold here. The owner is super nice and very informed and made us all feel very welcomed. 100% coming back and hope to become a regular!

Super dope place to relax and grab a kava. The owners Will and Kevin are both friendly and knowledgeable. I guess there are different types of the drink that can be euphoric, relaxing, or for focus. They'll help you find the right one. They have wifi and couches, so I'll be back for sure to get some work done. Great location too!

Chill little shop on the corner. Actually an small antique house. If you blink youll miss it, which would be a shame. Friendly helpful staff that like what they do. Great variety of drinks besides espresso. Steven is a consumate expert; warm and hospitable!
Local paintings on walls. Open mic nights and Free wifi too. 😎👍
