Breathtaking spa. So relaxing the moment I stepped in. Sauna was excellent, love the robes and spa shoes. My facial was absolutely the best Ive had. Stephanie is truly a master at her craft. Such a relaxing, professional woman and my skin feels so refreshed. I will definitely recommend her and Kiva spa to all my clients, friends and family. Stoped at the cafe on the way out. Beautiful, bright, clean cafe with great food and drinks. My strawberry matcha latte and açaí bowl was the cherry on the top for a great afternoon. Thank you Kiva
My detox facial was such a treat and pleasant experience! Stephanie really went above and beyond to make me comfortable and relaxed. I felt like she really spent the time and listened to my skin concerns and all around goals. Plus, the facial itself was OUTSTANDING and I left glowing and radiant. The spa itself is very tranquil, with great lighting and amenities. The private infrared sauna was the cherry on top. 10/10 recommend and will be back!
Audrey gave me the best massage for my Birthday. I came in with lots of pain, and she helped me so much. She also gave me stretches that helped me without causing more pain. She is kind and knowledgeable, and I will be back! Kiva is fantastic, clean and the location is so cute
The entire experience was amazing. From the minute you enter the spa, youre given slippers and taken to a nice room with couches to sip tea or water and unwind a bit. Then my massage guy, Philippe, gave me a foot scrub with salt and hot water. The massage was the best Ive ever had!
The atmosphere and cafe are wonderful. I have not seen products like Tokyo Milk in years! And Michelle is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! She has the best palpation, massage and cupping skills I have ever experienced.
First, the cons before the great pro! Received 10% off email for my birthday, but I was told by Paige that I could not use it because it couldnt be combined? I was gifted a massage and facial, and I even chose to pay the difference for a higher priced service but still was told no. The email does not state this but just notes to show email at the time of checkout. She said to use it next time, even though it says to use it within 30 days.Paid for services up front and also asked if I wanted to tip SAY NO and make sure you catch if they add a tip to the energizing room which you lay on a table by yourself. But I was charged to tip it, lol. Paige quick to charge and not explain the total. Luckily, I caught overcharging by $198! Luckily, she finally slowed down to listen to me and realized she had missed a gift card.Michell was the most impersonable masseuse Ive ever had, and the massage was not worth the money spent (and generous tip). Sorry to say, but I want to be truthful.POSTIVE. 5 STARS FOR STEPHAINE!!This review would be MUCH different (can more than 5 stars be given) if I just encountered Stephaine. SHE WAS AMAZING!!! Kind, caring, she made sure I was comfortable while performing my facial. Truly a professional!! Thank you, Stephanie, for such a great experience. If anyone wants a facial, I HIGHLY recommend her, just take the above advice for a smoother visit.
I gifted myself the Signature Kiva Facial from Kiva, the owner, for my birthday and I couldnt be more happy and honored to have received such an amazing treatment. She works effortlessly, with every brush and stroke, its like a methodical dance. My skin hasnt been so happy lately with hormones and stress and she just did her magic. Then, once we neared the end of the treatment, she did a beautiful and balanced reiki session with me. As a reiki practitioner myself, we sometimes can feel drained but she created a ripple effect. Even my clients are feeling the amazing reiki movement of Kiva!
My massage was beyond intentional. I felt cared for and that each movement was thought out with helping my body and mind get to an optimal space.
From calling to reschedule due to weather to the end of the service, everyone was wonderful. I dont love being touched, but Steph made me feel safe and cared for. My husband also got a foot massage and he was very pleased with everything as well. We will be making this a monthly visit! Thank you.
As always, Kiva does the best facials I have ever had. I already cant wait to go back. Not only for her extremely soothing and magical touch, but for her amazing, caring and beautiful personality and soul.The cafe has delicious food and drinks. I enjoy snacking before or after my spa treatments. The service people make you feel special.It is such a healing experience in every way.Mama Bear
Staff is always welcoming and makes us feel comfortable. No matter who I have for a therapist they always do great. You are the only place I go to for massages. Thank you!
Lovely Cafe and Spa. Quite the professional for the LMT I had. Great discussion between me and her. Plus great methods used for a spa package massage I got on Groupon. Got a voucher for a free snack at the Cafe. Everyone I interacted with was very helpful,friendly and bubbly. Would recommend.
I was given this massage/spa day as a gift and I came in ready for a relaxing day and that is what I got! I was truly relaxed which isnt easy for me to do. The space at Kiva made me feel safe and comfortable in my relaxation, I will be coming back!
Best açaí bowls in Portland, in my opinion. Especially love the crunch from the drizzled coconut oil. I’ve had each different bowl at this stage and they don’t disappoint.The tea selection is great, but some have limited supply so it is hit or miss if you’ll get your first choice. Still, you’ll get something good.Have met friends, workmates, and gone solo. All have been great.Only downside of this place is I wish it were closer to me! Wander off 23rd and check it out.
Kiva offers such a special experience. I did not expect the atmosphere and the decor to be so calming and therapeutic. My sister got a massage and I got a facial. We will definitely be coming back!
Audrey was very personable and lovely to chat with. She provided a safe space for me and helped me feel relaxed and comfortable with the hot stones massage. She was responsive to my requests and I got firm pressure. I am very grateful that Audrey stayed for my appointment, especially since it ended after closing. The tea afterwards was fantastic and so was the treat!
Very nice atmosphere , smells amazing and excellent facialThe only thing that was disappointing and misleading was the free coffee and bakery item listed on the Groupon my son bought for me, the wording pictures made it sound like I would get a fancy coffee and a baked good of my choice that you have in your glass case. Instead I got a tiny chocolate chip cookie and a drip coffee. Either change the wording and picture in Groupon or honor what is advertised.
This isnt a good spa for busy people or if you put any value on customer service. They canceled my first appointment because they said they wanted to accommodate another customer. I rescheduled to a few weeks later but the day before that appointment they called again and pressured me to change my appointment time to something more convenient for them. This was not a courteous call. When I told them I need to check my schedule and coordinate with my friend they pressured me to just accept the lone new time they offered and get the friend could to make it work.Their prices arent bad so if you have a surfeit of free time and paucity of self respect this might be a good fit.
The sauna was beautiful I enjoyed the atmosphere it was very welcoming and relaxing I love the healing hertz playing in the background my therapist was awesome she did her Thang! I will be back for more messages and bring people with me
Best spa in town! The facial was great and the massage is also fantastic!
Chanta was my LMT and was wonderful working on me. The spa was delightful and the sauna at the end was a great way to end the overall experience
I had a great experience. Teryl was awesome and provided excellent customer service. My 75 min massage was amazing. It was the perfect Mother’s Day gift. I would highly recommend. Everything was clean and comfortable.
Best facials and massage in PDX !! Every time I’m in Portland, I book several facials , massages and sauna. Love the vibe at KIVA and always feel so amazing after my treatments. Do yourself a favor and book some treatments. Best way to unwind ! 🥰
We had a fabulous day! The Spa was beautifully appointed, the staff was wonderful, helpful, skilled and personable (without being chatty through the treatments) and for the cherry on top, the headrests on the massage table was the most comfortable I think Ive ever been in!
Today we got massages at the spa and once again it was wonderful. Michelle is MAGIC! I worked in the industry for six years before moving down here to Portland a few months ago. I had had a massage with Michelle once before that so I knew I needed to see her when I moved. Highly suggest coming here. The facilities are clean and everyone is always nice. (Pro tip: Remember to tip in cash😎)
I had a massage at Kiva with Michell. Wow!! Even better than I expected. The whole experience was wonderful, from arriving at the spa to enjoying the free tea at the end. I’ll definitely be back.
The massage was AMAZING and the whole vibe is so wonderful and relaxing. Everyone at the spa and cafe is terrific. The tea is delicious and I am going to go on a shopping spree on all the lovely stuff like lotions and decor. I selfishly hope they never get so well known that its too busy to get an appointment, but it was truly the best massage Ive ever had so I cant help but shout it from the rooftops. Cant wait to go back!
The five stars for this review are specifically for Phillip. That was the best massage I’ve ever had. I get massages more than the average person and have tried at least a half dozen places in Portland without ever feeling the need to go back (aside from prescribed at a health facility). I will be joining Kivas monthly membership as a result of Phillips incredible talent and service. I did a 60 min deep tissue massage, normally I prefer 90 min and yet throughout this massage I was amazed at how much attention he gave to each body area, wondering if I was in fact receiving a 90 min massage. I like a lot of pressure and I know that’s not easy to do for the masseuse. I’ve known massage therapists and it’s a taxing profession, at the end of a day they’re exhausted from exertion and service to others. So I was just amazed at how physical he was, it made me think about the other recent massages I’ve had and how those people are either not as strong or not as willing to give so much of themselves physically for a client. He also did a number of unique stretches, massage techniques, and used accessories that I’ve never experienced. Touches like the extra hot towel at the end were really thoughtful. Phillip himself was super kind and you could tell was very into his work and art. His comments about the body, astrology, and massage showed that he appreciated the holistic service he was offering and the many benefits of massage and depth of the human body.It was the best massage I’ve ever had.I also used the infrared sauna before and I wouldn’t buy that separately but am glad it’sIncluded in the membership offerings. The music system was reading a USB drive the entire time and making a humming noise and it was unclear that was the only way to listen to music but even if you cranked the singing bowls track it was reading it wouldn’t drown out the whirring sound. That seemed weird.Everything else and everyone else was lovely. It seemed like a nice and approachable space, nothing too crazy in that regard.
Ive had a lot of facials in my life and this was the best facial Ive ever had. Kivas extractions were super gentle, the products she used were amazing, the space is amazing. I got the stop the clock facial with the hot oil scalp massage and for the price, you get quite a lot. I cant see myself getting a facial from anywhere else now. Thanks!!
Sweet spot for a day date. I miss their fresh juices! Cool products for sale. Smoothies are good. Covered outdoor seating. The girl stuck her head out to tell us the smoothies were ready - could she not just have brought them outside? Whats the point of giving a tip??? Ugh
Felt like a new person after my aromatherapy massage with Tara! She was able to get at a lot of my tense spots and did a great job. Definitely looking forward to my next appointment! And got to try the lovely tea next door.
My experience with Kiva Tea Bar and Spa was one of the most amazing massages I have ever had hands down. I had a mini bachelorette for one of my good friends here and we thoroughly enjoyed every second of our treatments; that’s all we could talk about during our lunch! All of the staff members were amazing and easy to talk to. Kiva herself was super sweet! We will definitely be returning in the future!
Tried the seasonal massage special, massage was more painful than expected, the masseuse applied far too much pressure and I didn’t know that the cafe closed before my session was over (before 4 PM on a weekday) so I couldn’t get the tea and cookie. I don’t live nearby so not sure I will be able to claim the voucher. There are a plenty of massage places in Portland, so not sure I will return.
My friend treated us to a Tranquility Massage, which included tea and a cookie in the cafe next door afterwards. Every part of the experience was totally amazing. I cant believe how awesome all the hot oil and hot towels were that were included with the massage. Pure bliss.
Terrell was great, she asked questions, learned what I needed & really delivered & she was very compassionate as well as being very talented at massage.
Had the most amazing experience and massage with Michell yesterday! Received the 90 minute Deep Tissue Sports massage. I have developed a lot of myofacial tightness over the years and Michelle was able to break a lot of them down. She is strong and masterful with her technique. Honestly, the best and most productive massage Ive ever received. So worth it and I will be back next time Im in town!
The BEST facial ever. I felt years of tension from school and work disappear today 😭 Kiva is really good at what she does. Thank you for such a relaxing experience.
This is a review for the spa. It says a lot about the quality of the services that I received that after the spa rescheduled my appointment twice and started my service 20 minutes late Im still compelled to give 5 stars. (Not their fault necessarily, it sounds like theyre having some staffing issues, but maybe throw in a free juice for the inconvenience ;) )I got the Winter Special with Emily, which was not only AWESOME value, you should totally take advantage of their seasonal specials if you can, but it was the most relaxing spa experience Ive ever had. Emilys deep tissue work was amazing, she was super professional and knowledgeable, and all of her little touches like sound and temperature control, aromatherapy choices, and draping technique were perfect. Literally a perfect massage, I will definitely be going back again and again.
Best massage I think I have ever had! Focused on the spots I was having issues, and applied the right amount of pressure. Cant wait to go back.
I’ve been a cafe customer for years and finally tried the spa for the first time. I got the seasonal special which was a 60 minute massage of your choice, scalp massage, and 15 minute facial.I requested Emily seeing some other reviews about her and was happy I did. I’m a runner and also have a desk job and although I get a massage every couple of months, I have various knots for sure. Emily applies the perfect pressure and was super intuitive about what my body needed in certain areas. There was one giant knot that she got out that I could physically hear. Super impressed with her skill and touch!
One of my favorite places to stop in the neighborhood. The smoothies are fantastic, and the granola & yogurt fruit bowl is great too. Good selection of healthy menu items. Nice relaxing atmosphere inside, staff are always pleasant and helpful if youve any questions. As I usually have my dog with me, I really enjoy sitting outside at one of their sidewalk patio tables, just a nice spot to take a break and have a snack. Highly recommended.
Excellent Covid protocols. I felt very comfortable as this was my first massage experience since February. My former massage therapist is no longer practicing. I searched for spas that specifically mentioned steps they were taking to keep staff and clients as safe as possible. Mary was wonderful and I will most certainly be back!!
I love every treatment Ive ever gotten at Kiva! Ive had bad experiences in other places with my skin care in the past, and Im picky in how I spend my precious self care time. Ive never gone wrong at Kiva.
For the first massage in about a year, I visited Kiva Spa last week and this week for massages. I had been to the cafe but not tried any of the spa services. I met with Philip. He was skillful, kind and professional. I love that he knew what he was doing has studied musculature. When I shared the pain I was experiencing, he knew what to do and also to not overdo with my upper back. Also worth mentioning, the process to book the massage was easy, I went on the website but then realized I needed to make a adjustment to my appt time. Kiva answered the phone and easily made the change. A friendly and professional experience. I can recommend and will be returning soon.
My family and I tried KIVA when they were participating in a Dine Out event for local non-profit Store to Door (donating portion of their days sales), and I am so glad we did! What an amazing place--so warm and serene and peaceful. If you love tea, this is the place for you. And even if you dont, they make great coffee, and have a great selection of food. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and made each person feel special. The granola is delicious! I will definitely be back again. This is a great place to take friends to catch up.
Great Tea Bar, Day Spa and Cafe! Healthy and yummy options from Breakfast to Lunch and early Dinner. Big Selection of fine teas, black/white/green/herbal and all Espresso Drinks you can imagine are served by kind people behind the counter.The Day Spa Section offers Facial, Massage and a Foot Sanctuary. I had a great deep tissue and a hot stone massage and it was one of the best Massages I ever had.I highly recommend this place!Mothers Day is coming up and they offer a wonderful HIGH TEA. RSVP necessary. :))
The service was GREAT. I loved the variety of the special package and Audrey did such a good job listening to what pressure I preferred, was super professional, and made the experience very relaxing. Highly recommend!
Best massage I have ever had (thank you Mary L.). The cafe/store is also really delightful. I have been looking for a spot like this since about 2011, and its exactly the vibe and provides the services I was looking for.
KIVA is an oasis! I used to work in the neighborhood and Id go there about once a week to get their lunch special, which was always fabulous and affordable. Although Ive never gotten any services there (its a day spa!) Im sure theyre wonderful as well. Incredible selection of teas and a very relaxing & hip environment. Great place to meet a friend / business for lunch. They are also very involved in the community and support Store to Door - a nonprofit that delivers groceries to shut in elders and people with disabilities. Good food, good space, good people!
I really want to love this place and see it succeed, but every single time Ive been in, Ive waited over 20 minutes to get my order. Im simply ordering tea and a pastry to go. I get that its a day spa and intended for sit down and enjoy sort of place, but 20 minutes for an order to go is just too long. I feel absolutely terrible for the poor girl behind the counter doing the best she can to serve the customers all by herself. This place has so much potential, great food, great tea selection, friendly staff, but its being mis-managed by being understaffed and unorganized.
Kiva is amazing shes originally from LA, we met when I came across her tea house & Spa. When we met she was excited that she met someone who was partially raised most of my 3 months of summer in OC Anaheim California, lived & breathed SD & LA. This charming charismatic lady hugged me & said its so wonderful to meet another person from LA well I was kinda each year since I was little. Well kiva is amazing including Kiva the owner herself. Behind the doors is a escape from reality youd never know you entered into a pathway hall leading you into a room filled with India artifacts the real thing to. As I had reflexology given by a young reflexogist me and my friend enjoyed catching up over a hot cup of tea. Its a small hidden gem youd never know unless you asked about the spa services and the LMTs she had were full of sunshine in there eyes. A healer always knows and can sense a healer. I graduated in 1997 at East West Chester of the Healing Arts. It was this unknown sense of comfort being in that hidden gym behind closed doors the smell of incense registering now actually came directly from the source not India but Tibet. I can again one day to discover Kiva the owner once again bright eyed with grace. Very warm hearted polite & pleasant greeted me with a warm welcome and offered me a glass of champagne on the house. She was drawn to my aura and healing energy that she say down and took the time to see how my day was. With a gentle smile I said wonderful thank you with a big dimpled smile. I put purchased 2 of her 1.5hr package massage as a gift to my 2 loyal clients who have longed been such a great contribution to the start up of my own practice. I gifted a lucky penny blessed by 7 monks wrapped in aluminum foil. Technically job st a penny but to her she knew it was an amulet used to attract great wealth, good health & good fortune. The irony came today as I realized that all the artifacts was the real thing...why? I wondered next door to this art gallery filled with amazing pictures that would catch your Breath when your eyes lay upon such beauty captured in the from atleast s camera lense worth more then 50k-150k. I bought this book lined outside with black velvet the last one $50. Heres the kicker its Kivas mom a well known photographer she was the kindest woman to come across. Like wow factor. I dawned on me just right now at currently 2:25am in a motel 6 still homeless due to covid waiting to hear about my love in business off of Vaughn & 25th not to far from Nw 23rd where I spent 3.5 years at Dosha NW. Ack to Kiva the experience was exceptional she knew how to pick her LMT subcontracts and the one who gave me a full body massage definitely had alot of positive auric loving energy. She said I feel blocked I replied with a genuine smile would you like me to open your third eye. With glee in her voice and that skipping on heart beat that twinkle in her eyes saying yes made my heart warm. Little did she know that her actual third eye is used for sonar and that from now past few 3+ weeks shes living the visions as her life unfolded by my Anakaian energy we are all linked by touch of genetic kinetic energy. To think of me is to know Ill be texting or calling you very soon. The clearer the vision the sooner the event like watching Johny Darko when the mental mind just by that one thought of opening the kitchen fridge the energy of that single thought causes the action of the physical body to catch up with its energetic physical self.hhmmm pretty cook Namaste thank you for reading if you made it down this far 🙏.Big hug big kiss from the Zara (ZaRah) Princess of Laos.
First off, this is only a review for the cafe side. I’ve never been to the spa. Their açaì bowls are the best I’ve ever had, and I love the little store setup they have in there. However, there have been multiple occasions I’ve stopped by well within their posted store hours and they decided to close early. I don’t feel like you can really depend on them to stick to their posted hours and, instead, you’ll have to guess if they’ll be open. I wish they’d be more consistent with that and not randomly close early on a frequent basis. If that weren’t the case, I’d give them five out of five stars for sure.
Love Kiva, a great addition to the neighborhood. Have had lovely massages, great facials, and of course the food. Smoothies, especially the wicked witch, are delicious. Rice bowls and soup have always been fantastic. Nicely curated selection of pastries. One of our favorite spots.
The atmosphere was amazing, the staff was awesome and so kind. The food was delicious and the spa was fantastic absolutely in love and recommending to everyone I know.
I love açaí bowls and since a friend told me how great KIVA’s are I gave it a go. It was definitely tasty but I found the pricing odd.I ordered a bowl that had peanut butter in it and it was priced the same as the bowls with almond butter. I subbed the peanut butter for almond butter and they charged me more. That made no sense to me. I mean, if the peanut butter bowl cost less than sure! But it was the same as the almond butter to start with. I should have said something but I felt rushed by the gal taking my order. Next time I’ll just stick to a bowl that already has almond butter.
Got a London fog and a raspberry scone which were both great! Atmosphere is calm and the café is right near Wallace park. Pretty cool :)
It was a truly incredible massage, it was an extra luxurious treatment that left me feeling really relaxed and pampered (which isnt an easy place for me to get to!), plus Andrea was so warm and kind--very impressive customer service. Especially considering the limitations of COVID, it was a really wonderful experience, and Ill definitely be going back and recommending it to friends
Always a delicious neighborhood spot. i enjoy that they expanded their café to a market-esque venue because i can buy the items they use.been in there twice in the past week and staff has been quick and kind both times. they let me bring my dog in too! if youre looking for a local place for smoothies, acai bowls, and tasty snacks stop by. great options for vegan & gluten free folks.thanks yall ~
Beautiful spa in the back with tall ceilings, low lighting and a shower if you need it after your massage or facial. Products used for the massages are lovely and not too perfumy/old/or odd. Food in the cafe is fresh and delicious. Today I had the Asian Bowl and it had a heavy amount of vegetables and about a half cup of brown rice - not too much rice and barely any veges like some places. They have water available with an ever-changing add in. Sometimes it is cucumber and mint, today it was classic lemon. They have two women working behind the counter and another in the kitchen - not at all understaffed. The staff seem happy. Wonderful ambience with world music - today it is flamenco music. Highly recommended.
KIVA Spa reviewPros: Service quality. Great massage, facial, and foot bath.Cons: Attention to detail. Owner Kiva told me the wrong time for one of my appointments so I had to leave and come back two hours later, then billed me $100 instead of providing a 100% discount (on a service that was included). Maybe it was just an off week.
Ahh Kiva.. I wasnt a massage type of guy, but my fiancee brought me here about a year ago, and Ive turned into a massage kind of guy. The atmosphere is really conducive to relaxation, theyre good at accommodating the nervous about being in my underwear types (like me) and the massages, the massages are just amazing. The cafe up front has a great selection of tea and snacks (which all seem to be included with massages). A really cool place.
I went in for a Signature facial to soothe facial tension after a wisdom tooth extraction. My tension was completely alleviated! The product line they used felt and smelled incredible, both during and after my service. Kiva was incredible massuese, and every aspect of my experience was relaxing and luxurious, from my tea with my foot bath before my facial, to the warm oil scalp massage, and shoulder and neck massage while my masque set. Ive been recommending them to everyone I know!
My massage was with Lindsay. She is a sweet gentle young soul and I loved chatting with her though her work was so effective I probably should have just remained silent to soak in every moment! Anyhow if you ask for Lindsay, she will soon be finished with her training in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage. It is long continuous, flowing strokes, working gently and deeply. The energy flow helps to reduce mental and physical blockages. I could tell she was very focused, with a loving spirit.This being my first visit to Kiva, I decided to order one of the exotic teas. I ordered the one for stamina - cannot name all the ingredients but they blended beautifully! Very fresh brew. Your tea arrives with a three hourglass timer, so you can decide how long you want to brew your tea, or do whats recommended.After the massage I went to pay, but there was a bit of a delay because of a problem adding in the gift certificate. The woman at the register was apologetic and offered me another lovely cup of tea. I could have had anything I wanted but asked for Earl Gray, and it was great.The only reason I didnt give the place five starts was the price compared to some of the other places I checked. Two others were only $5 less per hour. However, the spa is an amazing serene beautiful tranquil retreat behind the cafe. You would never imagine such a 100% silent place. I look forward to returning and also trying out the very interesting food-is-medicine type of menu.
I really wasnt happy with this service. I had a Groupon. We were supposed to be offered tea and snacks, but we werent. We were also given a head massage with oil, but they didnt have showers (or at least they didnt offer them to us) so we had greasy hair during our dinner. No robes were offered. The massage was okay, but not good enough to make the rest of it okay. Ive never had a spa experience quite like it. Definitely wont be going back.
This is hands down my favorite spot for smoothie bowls in portland. Their acai bowls are perfectly delicious and filling. Their rose latte, almond butter maca smoothie, and vegan treats are also delicious. The service is good and there is nice outdoor seating.
Great service, wonderful skills, beautiful decor, soothing atmosphere. Friendly and inviting. Going to go back again. I’ve been to many spas and Kiva has me hooked now. I no longer need to try out other spas since this spa meets and goes above and beyond all my expectations!
Came here with a friend for my birthday and honestly, so glad that I did. I did so much research on spas days before booking and Im so happy we landed at Kiva. The experience was so fun and repaxing at the same time. Tara was amazing! Both our therepists were so attentive to our needs and made us so relaxed. Money well spent.
Calm and relaxing atmosphere. Never had a better full body massage. The couples spa treatment was so romantic. The cafe has the best brown sugar Apple cider.
It was a great experience and I felt very safe and comfortable. Michelle was awesome and I cant wait to get another massage soon.
This was my 14th wedding anniversary gift to my wife and she decided to take me instead of one of her girlfriends, so I got to enjoy her gift also. 😁 I did a lot of research before deciding to go here and was honestly sceptical at first whether it was worth the cost. My therapist Michelle was awesome, she was able to find all of my trouble areas and work them out, for the first time in years Ive been able to turn my head in full range of motion without pain, not even chiropractic has been able to accomplish that. My wife got her massage next to me and her therapist William was equally awesome according to her testimony. This was the first time either of us had gotten hot stone massages and needless to say Im hooked! Thank you Kiva spa for a wonderful experience.Thankfully,Greg
The owner of this establishment is the most condescending person I’ve ever come across. She has no etiquette for how to treat another person. Probably the kind of business owner who goes to other establishments and mistreats customer service staff. Support small businesses whose owners are decent people instead.
I had a great experience here. There were some initial issues with my service, but they went above and beyond to remedy the situation. The massage and facial were top notch, and the cafe is fantastic. I will definitely be back.
I booked the summer special… It was a great deal and Audrey was awesome! The spa is beautiful and relaxing, I can’t wait to go back
Ive been here a few times, and really enjoy the healthy selections an atmosphere. Always bummed when theyre closed for the day. Also, its adjacent to a really cool art gallery! Worth going, bring a date!
Great location, nice facility. Great relaxing facial with message. A good quality service but seemed low staffed as far as customer service in the waiting area. Great tea room next door.
Kiva is thorough, magical, and absolutely the best esthetician Ive been to in Portland. The space, the vibe, and the little lagniappe of tea and cookie when it is over is the best way to levitate out of there.
I adore this place. Loved every treatment I ever have had. Plus, the food and drinks are spectacular. The shop is filled with great local products as well. My go to spa! The owner is divine! Best Facialist!
Such an amazing massage and experience! The ambiance is so lovely. Definitely going to be my go to spot for all spa needs! Such a beautiful space to relax in :) thank you!
My old review was deleted of course. Dont eat here I worked here and was stolen labor. the owner is a covert narcissist. Tox work environment and was harassed by the owner simply because I asked her to finish my W2 for over a week as I was unpaid, only tips, and almost became homeless again bc of her negligence.
Great tea, food is ok. The match a mint iced tea is to die for. The service used to be really great, but the last few times I went there the waitresses were quite rude, and one even hit my dog with a door without so much as an oops.
Kiva is one of the nicest people youll meet. Its a lovely cafe with big open windows, lots of healthy food options, and yummy loose leaf tea that you can enjoy before or after your spa treatment. Kiva does a great job building community which is much needed in Portland and has nothing but a great spirit. Also a nice place to go on a girls day spa day as they have massage, soaks, wraps, foot treatments, and the cafe side as well. A 23rd gem.
I had my first experience with raindrop reflexology. I suffer from foot pain daily. My treatment was very relaxing and my feet feel great I will be back.
The service was great. The place ambience and atmosphere made the treatment more enjoyableIt’s a great spot to spend a morning or afternoon getting pampered. Definitely coming back
Was visiting from out of town and was able to get in for a reflexology service. It was excellent! The spa service area is beautiful, peaceful, and calming. Will definitely return. The tea and breakfast was also delish!
Emily is a fantastic therapist! She knew exactly when to apply adequate pressure and when to ease up. If you need a deep tissue massage she is your gal.
Havent visited the cafe but the spa was great!
The most outstanding awesome massage youve ever had you will receive from here. Every time I walk out I feel lightheaded lol
Love this spa and Tara is the best! Ive seen multiple massage therapists and she works wonders. I will definitely be back to see her 🙂

All good. Great counter take-away foods. Nossa FamiliA coffee.. Good selection of teas. Expert and good natured servers. And theres a small coffee, tea, and kitchen related market in the cafe. Great fun place to visit. Great gifts. And great quality coffee and foods.
Kiva provides a wonderful, curated, safe experience; it is a true oasis (especially in these rough times). The service is provided with such care, personalization, and understanding. I always feel rejuvenated, refreshed, and so relaxed during and afterwards.
Great atmosphere. I got a wonderful massage and had a delicious açaí bowl afterwords. Absolutely feel rejuvenated! I would highly recommend 😁

Amazing from entry to exit. Kiva really has done an outstanding job with the tea bar and spa. excellent services and tea selection. If you are a tea lover, raw foodie, or in need of a little pampering and a r gonna be in the portland metro area, stop in and say hi to Kiva and her amazing staff.
Fantastic Atmosphere. Very nice massage rooms. Recently got a hot stone massage from Tanya followed by tea lemon poppyseed cake. Yum! And great massage!!
Gorgeous spa, excellent service, and outstanding therapists and aestheticians
Super friendly folks, great smoothies. I hope they can find an alternative to the big plastic bowl and cover I received and maybe find a paper alternative?
Smoothie was delicious but service was a bit slow. The seating was quite comfortable. If you have time it is a great place to relax.
Their acai! Is amazing. Ive started visiting every Sunday, its the perfect way to start the morning! Seating outside is usually available.
Casual atmosphere, and delicious tea made for a perfect afternoon. I had the Green Pomegranate, it was perfect, not too sweet and the aroma was divine.
Got a great massage from Audrey!Kiva is a very nice place.
Great attention to detail, relaxing environment, not pushy, very professional. My wife and I desperately needed this, SO relaxing.
Tonya was amazing and did a fantastic job. I had a 105 treatment and loved every minute of it. Next time, I will stay for lunch!
Loved it! Best massage Ive had in a long time and great tea selection!
I had massage with Tara shes professional, very nice does an Excellent job. I will go back nice place.
Although they are expensive, they are worth it! Very professional and good at what they do and treated my wife well at her post-pregnancy massage. Thanks Kiva!
Kiva cafe is one of my favorite spots in NW. Great vibe, service and menu of healthy dishes, smoothies and juices.
Love this spot - very healthy food options, great coffee and tea, and the small market theyve set up in covid times has a bunch of great wellness options.
Our massages were excellent and the whole experience was very calming and lovely.
Everytime I order from this place from postmates my order is either cancelled or they get there and say there’s no more sandwiches.. I’ll never go here again. Update your guys menu.
Its awesome...Andrea did an amazing massage...the Best one Ive ever had!!!
Cafe is little pricey but great menu options and friendly staff. I had the Summer Breeze acai bowl and the granola on it was 👌👌👌
