My home away from home, my third place. The drinks are delicious, the reward system is solid, but what really makes this place special is everyone who works here. Kind, compassionate people who know what community means. I love you Kavagator.

Absolute worst coffee I've ever had. It's not only stale, but badly burned. Add insult to injury, and it's way overpriced. The atmosphere is lovely, but I won't pay an expensive price for bad coffee just to sit in a nice place. If they got better coffee, this place could be the hit of the town. Their workers should also be taught how to make a proper espresso.

The employees were amazing but the owner nah. The owner messed up my order and didn’t even apologize. I visited here with my pup every week and never disappointed. The owner is unprofessional for sure.

The girl at the counter was super kind and helpful while i asked her a bunch of dumb questions :DThe blue lotus tea is humble at first but totally packs a punch. I was super anxious and jittery just from being out and socializing and whatnot and it chilled me out after like 5 sips no lie. But later on during the night the effects visited in my dreams and when i woke up i felt like i was tripping a lil for like 30 minutes. Definitely a pure blue lotus experience super pleasant and magical. Not to mention the drink was delicious i got mine with lavender and cane syrup. We all deserve an 11$ treat sometimesAlso if u like trying wacky flavor combos they have like every syrup flavor in existence

This is one of my go to places to study, hang out outside of the house, or meet up with friends. The vibes at kavagator are really great and everyone that works there is super nice! The kratom tea is also really great. It’s also in a great spot downtown to go do something else afterwards. Definitely give this place a shot if you’re looking for an alternative to a traditional coffee shop or somewhere chill to spend time.

Amazing coffee and amazing staff. One of the best brownies I've had in years. The place is also very cozy. Will definitely come back again!
