WHY YOU’LL WANT TO GO

Your neighborhood living room, with a little more soul.

Head upstairs on Haywood Road for a cozy local hangout, botanical drinks, and a warm welcome. Vinyl nights and open mics give the week a rhythm of its own.

The original Elevated Kava location brings coffee, exotic teas, kombucha, and alcohol-free drinks together in an artsy West Asheville lounge. The public event feed mixes recurring gatherings with special evenings, from a shared turntable to local performances.
