Gather Coffee & Kava Bar 3811 Ray Street, San Diego, CA 92104

"Knowledgeable Kava tender. Fun place to hang out and get some work done or just chat with some friendly folks. Bonus dog Bomber hangs out a lot and lets you pet him. I wish they served more non-kava drinks though."

"Good vibes, great people that work there, Shannon and Paul, owners operators are about as good as it gets, highly recommend."

"Friendly and knowledgeable staff more than happy to spend time teaching you about kava. Exactly the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for after an intense Friday. So happy we randomly stumbled upon Gather. Thank you for making us feel welcome :)"

"Went on a first date at Gather. We had an absolute blast. The good time could be contributed to how well me and this chick connected, but i'd give majority of the credit to the atmosphere and staff at gather. We got the Kava flight. The flight does not arrive all at once but is rather delivered one drink at a time as a catered experience. Paul, from behind the bar, served each drink with a taste of traditional Kava knowledge, combined with some charming banter. If you're not looking for all that extra jazz, just grab a drink and take a booth in the low light or a seat out back by the fire. Good experience all around. I know you're wondering so I'll just tell you, we're going on a second date."

"Shannon was wonderful. I've had kava before and I know you don't drink it because of the taste. But she has created an apple-lemon one that makes it go down so smoothly. Great back patio to relax on. Highly recommend."
