About The Church of Root
The lounge describes itself as a social space serving Northeast Portland since 2017. Its website emphasizes traditionally prepared kava and a place to sit and talk, while its official photographs show a small room with tables, plants and a colorful gallery wall. The focus is a shared social visit around a drink.
Recent announcements have included Hawaiian ʻawa from Puʻu O Hoku Ranch, fruit-based kava offerings and a seasonal gathering combining kava with music and reflection. These are examples of the lounge’s changing program, not promises of daily availability. Ask about the current preparation and ingredients when deciding what to order, especially if you want something other than kava.
