Squarerut Kava Bar - Lamar

Squarerut Kava Bar's Lamar shop sits at 5000 North Lamar Boulevard in Austin, one of two local locations for a business that opened in 2011 as the first kava bar in Texas. Kava is a plant from the South Pacific traditionally brewed into a drink valued for a calm, relaxed feeling without alcohol, and Squarerut built its business around introducing it to a wider audience alongside more familiar options. Beyond kava itself, the Lamar location pours organic Texas-grown coffee and a rotating selection of wellness teas, with chocolate bars available on the side. It has built a steady local following over the years, drawing regulars who come back for the drinks as much as the laid-back, community feel of the space, making it a workable stop for a rider wanting a non-alcoholic break along North Lamar.
