Chill on a comfy couch for hours while sipping coffee and working on laptop. Very cool.

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!

They have decent product, but I've found a lot of patrons are a bit snobby, and the owner doesn't really play well with others.

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 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!! <3

This review is just based off my Uber order and attempt to visit once.I’ve never actually been inside because of the parking situation but the atmosphere looks welcoming .I ordered iced coffee twice from here it was pretty bad both times and once I’ve tried visiting but the parking was ridiculous so we left.I will maybe try visiting/ordering again.

Good to see kava bars in Tampa but the music is way too loud. Have to yell the drink order. However, I can see this as intentional to keep customers from patronizing the place too long considering the parking situation

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!

Boho-esque kava bar with great vibe! Love the atmosphere. Everyone is friendly. Very clean. Both the kava and kratom are high quality.

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.

The owner is about as nice a guy as you can get. I will always support businesses that take care of their employees. On top of all that it has a great atmosphere and great drinks. 👍

Good place. The music they play though isn’t the best. It’s usually very loud, and distracting, why not try some softer background music? The cappuccinos are basically all milk. So if you ask for one, be sure see they adda full espresso shot and stop them before then pour the entire thing of milk in there.

Great kava/coffee shop located in the bungalow style house. Authentic Seminole Heights vibes, friendly atmosphere, great crowd and staff. Many daily specials, events, and activities for socializing. It has great corner for work and study. Reasonable prices. A true hidden gem in Tampa!
