In light of the most recent review I'd like to add my 2 cents as a kavatender from another bar. Firstly, I have never had a bad experience at CMK. I love the staff and I love the drinks. Opinions aside and to touch on concerns brought up, I will say firstly kava is a very 420 friendly community. Not everyone smokes but you can expect a good amount of people at a kava bar to be stoned at any given time. If being around that is an issue, kava might not be the right scene for you. Secondly, I'm willing to bet money that the awful reaction that poor woman had to the kava was related to medication or alcohol interactions. Many things interact dangerously with kava and without regulation it's important to research that and make sure it's safe for you to drink. I've been to every kava bar in the state of Colorado and there is definitely problematic kava-- see Kavasutra for an example of dangerous kava preparation. I have never encountered anything of the sort at CMK. It sucks when it causes bad reactions and I truly wish her a speedy and painless recovery, but I don't think this one is a reflection of the bar itself. CMK is still one of my favorites and I always make a point to stop by when I'm in Longmont. The rest of the overwhelmingly positive reviews of this awesome place should give a...
Read moreA month ago, I took a journey upon sobriety for a healthier mind and body. In search of something to replace Alcohol with, a friend of mine introduced me to Colorado Mountain Kava. Before I knew it, I found a place filled with support, kindness, progression, diversity and the purest positivity I think I’ve ever had the privilege of being involved with. This isn’t just a sober bar. It’s a community and a safe space for all walks of life to come together, connect, be transparent and develop meaningful relationships. What ties this whole experience together are the wonderful Kava Tenders. Each and every one of them bring their own unique element and when combined, makes this place the greatest spot to be in Longmont. Sam, Odin, J, Liv and Val, you guys have every reason to be proud of yourselves. I can’t thank you enough for what you do. Your kindness and energy is unmatched and I’m happy to be apart of something so much more than myself.
At the end of the day, Colorado Mountain Kava is the place to be. No matter who you are or where you come from. See it for...
Read moreI was pretty disappointed by what I saw recently at Mountain Kava. There was a woman with a baby who looked less than a year old inside, while people were vaping indoors. I’m not trying to ruin anyone’s fun, but when there’s a baby around, it’s important to remember why vaping indoors is banned statewide in Colorado in the first place. Vape smoke has harmful chemicals that linger in the air and cling to surfaces. It can be especially bad and potentially dangerous for infants and children.
This place should be either be strictly for adults who can make their own decisions about their health, or if babies are going to be allowed, then the business needs to follow the state rules that don’t allow vaping indoors such that everyone is protected, especially those who can’t advocate for themselves.
I hope they take this seriously and make some changes because right now this approach is irresponsible at best and outright...
