Grassroots Kava House

Not only is Grassroots a super chill place, but the staff is incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful. I was new to the kava/kratom scene and the staff completely walked me through the process, answered all my questions, and took the time to make sure I was going to get a drink that was safe with my medical conditions and that would taste decent. Anyone who's tried the stuff knows you don't get it for the taste, but coming in with an open mind and lots of new knowledge, I was excited to try. They have free WiFi and an upstairs area to sit and study or read.

Plus, they have special days and have yoga. All sorts of fun stuff!

As great as all this is, my absolute FAVORITE parts are their dog friendliness and their commitment to the environment with reusable drinkware and completely compostable hot drink take out cups.

This is one of my favorite spots on central. It’s predominantly a kava/kratom bar, but I swing by for coffee, iced tea or other refreshing beverages. Extremely dog friendly, both the establishment and its patrons. Great place to people watch. Plenty of places to hang out; Sit on the sidewalk, at the bar, on a couch, work upstairs on the quiet level or hang out on the balcony up top. What I like most about the place is that it’s always clean and evolving (menu, environment, events etc)

Drip is extremely dark and also extremely weak. Nice space with walk up vibes, but would not recommend. Friends who got a latte and a mocha rated theirs “fine” and “fine but, weak” respectively.

Relaxed chill atmosphere to unwind after a long days work. The Kratom is drinkable and affordable compared to other Kava bars in the St Pete area.

Fair prices and great stuff! I've never seen a Kava house with this kind of creative selection! If you like Kava and Kratom, this place should DEFINITELY be on your list!

GrassRoots conflates “vibey”, happening café with relaxing, zen work space. Somehow, they also have created a really intimate and welcoming social space. I came into GR with little expectations of having a productive work day, and was so wrong. I was able to find a quiet but not boring workspace upstairs and concentrate, without having to be isolated at home.The Kava was great and I like that they serve it in little bowls, because it feels more traditional to the experience. Staff and people here are welcoming and truly have a community feel - Gravy was my bartender and he was wonderful. Whether or not you’re into Kava, I would highly recommend this spot (and the Cuban mocha is to die for).

Nice place to hang out with tasty Kratom drinks! Will stop in again next time I'm in St Pete!

Great atmosphere, plenty of seating areas, upstairs as well. Lots of options but rather pricey all around.

Great place. I do not drink Kava but their coffee, kombucha, coconut water is great. Quieter atmosphere upstairs for some cozy time working/studying.

The atmosphere was 11/10! I was there on their yearly party! The live music was great. They had a hopping ground level area, and a quieter upstairs. I experienced kind staff, and welcoming area!

But that’s where my compliments stop. Our chai tea latte, was disappointing. Don’t recommend that option. The price was a bit steep as well!
