Make sure to stop by Kava Queen! The bar is small, cute, and cozy, with a welcoming atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by Ava, who runs the place, and she made our first experience with kava feel easy and enjoyable. Since it was our first time trying it, she patiently explained what we should start with and guided us through the process. There are also books available to skim through, which gave us even more insight into the history and culture of kava. Overall, it was a wonderful introduction, and we left feeling both relaxed and informed.

The vibes are vibin, the music is musicing. I came out, and it turned out to be open mic night! Super chill and sweet.
The owner is such a fun person, and everyone was so friendly.
I was expecting the kava to taste awful after googling what the heck it was, but the way they make it here actually tastes amazing! I got the coconut mango mix and am feeling very relaxed ✨️

First time having Kava & it was an exceptional experience in the most unique location! The Kava Queen’s passion for making and serving an all natural kava made the visit extra special.

Kava Queen Kava Bar is one of mine and my family’s favorite spots to hang on the North Shore.
Ava, the owner, is super warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about all things Kava (although you should talk to her about something else, because I’m sure she gets sick of talking about Kava all night). She does an amazing job creating a warm vibe in the silo, and even welcomes my two baby girls to her bar at night.
The space itself is rad. It’s in the Silos at the Waialua Sugarmill, and both Ava and the owners of Mele Mele have put a lot of heart and soul into renovating the space. Nothing is better than enjoying a kava while the sun is setting at the silos.
On the North Shore, we don’t really “go out” at night much, so this is the exact community gathering spot we all needed! Mahalo Ava much love

Sweet little kava bar with chill vibes and studio ghibli art, we got to chat with Ava’s dad who was super wholesome, while enjoying some coconut mango kava Found it after going to the Saturday morning farmers market next door. Love that north shore has a gathering place like this!

the ABSOLUTE BEST! I mean you can’t go wrong. Whether it’s traditional Kava, Flavored Kava, A kava SHOT :O, or Mocktail… she’s got it all! Ava is the best and so knowledgeable about her craft! Also the space is the coolest space ever – a more vibey take on going “out” with your friends! A must check out if your local on island or even visiting Oahu for the first time.

Went for an open mic session, and enjoyed a glass of kava as well, it was perfect. Ava at the bar is a joy, and it’s just so soothing sitting outside, with the music and the evening lights.

My friend and I stopped into Kava Queen while cruising around North Shore out of curiosity, since neither of us had heard of Kava before. The owner is one of nicest people I’ve ever met and made the whole experience all the more amazing. She took the time to explain not only the origins of Kava and why/what it’s used for, but also a ton of cool history about the old sugar mill the shop now inhabits. Kava had me feeling amazingly mellow, which is exactly what I needed. It was so fun we drove back up the next day and bought more to share with friends. The next time I’m on the island, I’m building in an extra day to go back up and chill with the Kava Queen!

This was a great find! Was introduced to the Kava Queen by a friend. I had the Limeade Mocktail. It was delicious and Ava’s presentation was spot on. Wound up taking a jar home for later. Ava is very knowledgeable and happy to share her passion. We will definitely be back!
