MeloMelo Kava Bar

Forget coffee and alcohol: kava - a South Pacific drink knows as a mild psychoactive - stars at this cafe near the Berkeley campus, where menu options include various blends of the mellowing beverage served with fruit and optional add-ins, plus on tap kombucha. A brick walled esterior fronts a cozy, modern space with bar and lounge-area seating, tree-trunk bartop, honeycomb-inspired wall fixtures and plenty of plants.
