Being here on several occasions late night, and the only java place open, I have found that the noise level is unconventional for a chat over coffee. So I visited during the day but parking is impossible, circling several residential blocks for a spot only to find it's permit or loading zone. And if you are a criminal like me and park at the safeway and walk over...yes you will get a ticket. =( But you know, that's how criminals roll. Sort of a bummer.
However, Kawa is still a great spot that serves a small (but always good) selection of hot food, desserts (yummy), great lattes and ALCOHOL. You know, so you don't have to spike your own coffee or incase you wanted to meet over coffee but you really just wanted to get smashingly drunk...or maybe your date isn't going that well. Depending on what your tastes for venue are, Kawa is at least a-ok!
