Bula Kavananda Kava Bar & Coffee House

This is the best coffee house we have ever been to. We tried the Fiji Kava and got all tingly. Chris, behind the bar, was so friendly and kind. We immediately felt at home. We both had the cold brewed coffee, which was deliciously amazing. They even carried monk fruit sweetener! It is located in an old house, which is stunningly beautiful. Even the bathroom is pretty. Loads of people working on laptops enjoying their drinks. The bar is huge and fun to sit at. We will definitely be returning!

For the Saturday morning I was looking for a coffee shop and decided to try out Bula Kavananda for the coffee.
Bula Kavananda is an amazing coffee shop with beautiful interior and positive vibes.
When I entered the cafe I was greeted by the cashier Maggie and she helped me to decide the coffee by answering different questions. She was very helpful and had a smile on her face while answering the questions.
After exploring the menu i decided to order Matcha Latte. The service was good and i got my hot coffee in 10 minutes.
The coffee was delicious and freshly brewed. I loved the coffee and atmosphere.
I can clearly say that it is one of the best coffee shop in Tampa.
I will be definitely back to try Kahwa too.

I am so happy to find a non-alcoholic bar these days. We don’t have these in the town that I live in and I sure wish we did. The atmosphere is relaxing fun and decorated with cool art which makes it a win-win with a drink menu loaded with new things to try! I had the lotus tea and it was my first time trying it. I went back to order another because I enjoyed it so much. It did what it was supposed to do which is make you happier. All of the drinks on the menu are meant to be mood elevators and that makes it a great place to bring a friend that you can chill out with for hours. The night I showed up, there was a DJ running a trivia game and it was a lot of fun. I told many of my friends and family that showing up on Sunday night would be a fun way to spend their evening.

Really surprised and impressed coming into this place... The environment walking in was like crossing a border into an alternate reality, a warmer and more welcoming one than the world outside.

There's music, a crowd of smiling faces laughing and playing games with friends, gentle lighting, and a bartender who truly seems to treat you as almost family.

He told me about Kava, then gave me the first shell free since it was my first time in offering the same to other customers and then cheering "Bula!" with everyone at the bar.

He then did the same with Kratom, providing an explanation and offering my first cup on the house!

Both drinks were actually really good, too.

Apart from that, I came to do some work on my laptop and there's plenty of desk space for that as well as lounging space on couches and at the bar. I gound s comfortable place and took a picture for this review.

I can see this becoming a regular coffee shop of mine to work out of while I live in this area.

Kava latte with oat milk and vanilla flavoring, Bula!

This place has been great! I stumbled upon it while traveling for work about a year ago. Unfortunately this visit, the barista wasn’t as friendly as typical. I was sad to hear Chris no longer works here, he was the highlight of my trip each time. His presence is definitely missed!

This is my 3 rd time going there and I absolutely love it. Great place to hang out over the weekends or sit quietly on comfy couches and read. The barista Wes and the other girl I forgot her name they both are super friendly and creative. If you like customized coffee they will try their best to create it, just ask for it. The ambience feels really homey and relaxing. And please don't forget to play the African safari themed chess.

This is a beautiful space with a great vibe. They have kava, of course, but also a full menu of specialty teas and coffees. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have. So glad I tried this great place and I will definitely be back!

Something familiar something nice. Small and welcoming. I was very happy when i heard that Bula was opening a tampa location. As a guy who visits Bula Kafe and Bula on the beach this is a welcome change. The kava and kratom are still on point. The staff just as friendly.

This place was a great little spot to stop in and get some great tasting Kava. Coming all the way from Orlando, this place did not disappoint and Jason was very hospitable and kind! Thank you for the great vibes!!

Atmosphere is wonderfully calming, great morning spot. Curious about kava and some of their herbal infusions, but I got a latte as I was looking for coffee. Nice outdoor front porch space too, inside desk space for serious work-from-coffee-shop-ers. Mostly drinks, I didn’t see any food cases with morning fare.
