Root of Happiness is the first Kava bar in Rancho Cordova, California, opening its doors in early 2013. It has served thousands of happy Sacramento area residents and for many, has served as their first introduction to Kava Culture. Pulling from elements of Polynesian, Melanesian, and Micronesian Cultures, Its richness of its décor and ambiance are rivaled only by the character of its clientele.

May 4, 2023 at 1:39 pmI’ve been to the Kava Bar in Rancho Cordova 3 times when I get my hair set next door- the prices are ridiculously high! The first 2 times my drinks were bitter and gross but I thought I’d give it another try, and again it was really gross, I had mentioned to the gal why is it so bitter she said well “ Obviously you better go to Starbucks if you want something tasty” she was rude and very annoyed about my question, I went 3 times giving the benefit of the doubt and then to top it off deal with a rude employee, nevertheless I will NOT be going back and I do live in the Gold River Community and I will be letting our community know about the taste and type of service you get at our monthly meeting!!
Minus O for service
1 for taste
2 for atmosphere
4 for convenient location
5 for the set up inside and outside on patio
