Careful with the kratam, it can make you feel high similar to taking edibles. I came in to study at night and wanted something without caffeine. I was recommended kratam and told it was "energizing but it had no caffeine." Maybe its my fault for not realizing I was consuming drugs, but I thought it was odd the kratom was not listed any differently on the menu. I have friends who had it without any kind of effect. It was not unpleasant thankfully but please be careful and know what you are getting into. It simulates the feeling of taking morphine, and had I known that I absolutely would have gotten a latte lol. I do think that this is a really cute place and the shop owner and server are very sweet and let you try things before you buy. They seem to really care about your experience and product integrity. It feels very safe. I would definitely recommend coming here for kava/kratom if you know that is what you want, or even coffee because it is really cute place!

Kavagator is my new favorite coffee shop. It’s opposite where I work so I go there regularly. The coffee is amazing. The kava is delicious and extremely relaxing. Love their pastries from upper crust. The atmosphere is so relaxing, comfortable seating outside and beautiful lighting at night. Leighton is so welcoming and friendly and a fantastic barista. The owner Julia is so friendly and knowledgeable about the origins of the drinks they sell. Definitely check this place out.

I love these people!! Employees are warm, kind, and make me feel so at home and special being here. Their kava and kratom
are the tastiest I’ve ever had, too. Not even kidding, try it for yourself!

As a retail coffee shop I would think whoever order you guys ingredients on Instacart would tip. Several local breakfast bars order weekly on Instacart or when they are in need, but you guys are by far the cheapest. I picked up several orders with dozens of gallons of milk, whip, pastries and more to only be tipped $1 from you guys 😆. Good luck !

Love the atmosphere! Perfect location. Beautiful outdoor area. Lots of choices and flavors with kratom and kava. The owners are very sweet and welcoming.
Living Vitalitea kombucha from Orlando is the best! ❤️

This is a don't miss modern coffee tea shop. They have a little game room, a chess board, outside seating, and huge garage door windows. Plus charming coffee signs and sayings. As well as a variety of herbal teas and pastry.

Met the owner of Kavagator, Julia is very friendly and insightful. This was my first time trying Kava and I am so glad it happened here. For those who are unfamiliar with Kava, go to Kavagator and have a cup. We’ll come again to hand out, t's a very comfortable, laid-back environment with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also have many kinds of teas and coffee.
