I love the vibes! Alex is so great at making suggestions and creating the best drinks! I highly recommend coming here!
Amazing place! The best Kratom tea and extracts I’ve ever had—and I’ve been to a lot of kava bars. The environment is welcoming, the owners are incredibly kind, and the regulars make it feel like a community. I’d give it more than five stars if I could!
What a fun place with such nice people! From the Kavatenders Jessica and Alex to the nice customers, this is a great place to hangout. They have events on certain nights as well. Spent three hours there drinking kratom tea with guava which was delicious. I have been to Kava bars all over the country, yet this is a rare gem!
The kavatenders are all one of a kind gems! New owners, but the previous was fantastic too. Fun events! Vibes are on point. A few comfy chairs to sit in tables. BEAUTIFUL wooden bartop. Come one, come all! Went to a Paint & Sip - had fun. Very laid back. My hot brewed tea was tasty! There are so many drink options. Popping Boba pearls are tasty. They have baked goods/pastries also.
My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine’s Day and the vibes were amazing! This is a calm and cozy place where you can sip on delicious teas and coffee. There are fun games to play while you hang out, and the employees are very welcoming!
Amazing place with great drinks and a diverse range of activities each week. They have a game room and plenty of space to relax.
Very friendly and inviting. Small shop but a lot of ambience. Owner and staff were very kind and inviting to me and my 6-year-old. Found this place based on proximity and the reviews. 100% accurate all around. Highly recommended. I will be back the next time I'm in the area.
Inviting and friendly atmosphere! Raspberry lemonade with spritz was DELICIOUS! Jess has a great personality, very cheerful and explained the concept of the drinks and gave us recommendations based on our likes. Great place to chill out and do your own thing or hangout with a friend.
