I just recently tried kava for the first time, and decided to give a different place a shot. This place was great! Lauren was very informative and a pleasure to speak to. We tried quite the variety of Kratom teas and kava. I will say that if you are new to kava do not consume too much as it can make you a bit nauseous. We’re newbies and had about 3 blends of the Kratom tea and two types of kava and after a little while I did feel a little nauseous. This portion of my review is referring to the product itself and not on the establishment.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and staff and of course the kava and Kratom. I will definitely return here and I highly
recommend it.

I was at Island Root Suntree location today. Glad to see Ian was bartending now. I met Ian about a year ago at the Downtown location when he was a bar back. He is such a pleasure to be around,very personable,professional,and a great bartender. I hope to see more of him at the Suntree Island root,best Kava in Melbourne,with the best staff,Ian being an asset to this great brand.

Love this place to get some work done during the day. Laid back atmosphere, good drinks and friendly crowd. Lauren is my favorite bartender of all of the locations. She’s very sweet, welcoming and makes me laugh. 10/10 would recommend!

My husband picked this place out thinking it was a traditional bar as we are not familiar with Kava. We were surprised to find they didn't serve alcohol but the drinks they did have were amazing. We got a Kava and CBD based drink flavored with ginger that was delicious. They also have a pool table, ping pong, and Foosball available while you hang out and sip your drinks. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff was so nice. Angela was our server and she kindly explained the menu and their customs. I would absolutely recommend stopping here. Thanks for a great evening!

Another of Melbourne's main stay kava bars. This one in Suntree is like many of the other franchise's bars. It features a pool table and ping pong. The crowd is eclectic as is expected at Kava bars. Unlike other Kava bars in the area, being located in Suntree on the cusp of Viera, the crowd here is more white collar and cerebral. If you've had a funky experience before at a kava bar, give it another try here. Lauren is a sweetheart and provides a warm welcome and great conversation. Connor is youthful and has cinematic knowledge beyond his years - he always gives me ideas for the next awesome movie to watch. His shifts are punctuated with great films on the TVs.

Island Root, especially the sun tree location, is a phenomenal place to get together with friends and decompress. Out of all the places I’ve tried kava and kratom, Island Root has the best variety and best tasting drinks. They have several nights where you can listen to live music, play in pool and ping pong tournaments, and participate in trivia. The best quality of this bar has to be the service, the bartenders are always friendly and actively making sure you aren’t waiting on drinks or food, especially the Bartender Lauren. I know many people that make sure they go when she is working, and always have something nice to say about her. I would highly recommend Island Root to anyone looking to make new friends, find an alternative to alcohol, or to simply just get out of the house.

Home away from home! Island Root!! The absolute friendliest people, best bartenders, coldest Kava, and the best atmosphere! This place is the best! I highly recommend you try some Kava or a Nitro! If I wouldn’t have discovered Island Root I never would have overcome my alcoholism. Come get a shell!!
