Kava Works — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

Came in here last night to checkout a place that my friend opened up. Business is easy to spot from the street, in a good area, I felt safe, plenty of parking and Jason took excellent care of me while we caught up. There's comfy couches and I really liked the calming wall paint colors - the interior and exterior were well thought out. There's a good selection of items to pick from and some light food options.

Definitely do not recommend...

I recently dragged—yes, dragged—five of my elderly family members into Kava Works in Colorado Springs, and the vibes were immaculate. Jason greeted us like we were long-lost royalty, all while answering 47 rapid-fire questions about “what exactly is kava.” Jason was an absolute legend—super knowledgeable, patient, and somehow managed to explain kava to everyone from my chatty aunt to my uncle who thinks Wi-Fi is a type of Hawaiian fish. He got us all settled with drinks that tasted like pure chill in a cup. Within 20 minutes, the whole crew looked like they’d just returned from a week in Maui. If you’ve got a mixed crowd, a curious streak, or a few family members you’d like to see relaxed for the first time since 1978, this...
