MeloMelo Kava Bar

The current staff is very judgemental of the customers appearance. I used to visit this place when it opened and it was very warm and welcoming. Something happened and the staff was extremely rude.

Love this place, they were so informative and helpful for my first kava experience.

I had never been to a Kava Bar before, and I was pleasantly surprised!!! Friendly service! Mello atmosphere. I will go back!

What a great addition to the neighborhood. I stopped by here with a friend. We were surprised the place was packed, and everyone (including the servers), were so sweet and kind. The atmosphere was lush. Full of beautiful decor, a huge thriving plant wall, large windows, and numerous matching couches to sit soft on. They also have traditional bar seating. Their menu is great! Lots of options. You can order bucha on tap, or a flight to sample. They have a variety of kava strains, in which you can order it plain or choose a variety of kava mocktails. You can also order a variety of teas (green, black, yerba). I would 10/10 recommend this place! :)

They need to hire more people.

My first Kava experience didn’t disappoint! Upon learning this was my first time trying Kava, the barista offered us a ceremony to try it first and explained the origin and types of Kava to me. Tried the Colada and warm special Kava. Def a fun experience that’s quintessential Berkeley / Oakland. Check them out if you are in the area.

The people who work here are mad weird and selective about who they wanna be chill with. Bad vibes.
