I used to come here regularly to unwind after work and always considered myself a loyal customer. Unfortunately, after a recent experience, I will not be returning.
One night, while I was simply minding my own business, I was confronted by another individual. I tried to calmly de-escalate the situation, but when staff got involved, things only got worse. Instead of helping resolve the issue, I felt like I was treated unfairly and singled out.
The entire situation left me feeling unsafe and, honestly, humiliated. What made it even more upsetting was what happened afterward—I was told I could no longer come inside and would only be served outside. As a paying member and regular customer, that was extremely degrading.
I can’t say for certain what motivated how I was treated, but the experience felt deeply wrong and has stuck with me. This used to be a place I came to relax, and now I don’t feel welcome there at all.
It’s disappointing to lose a place I genuinely enjoyed, but I can’t support a business where I felt disrespected and uncomfortable. I hope management takes a serious look at how situations like this are handled in the future.

This was my third time going to Island Root, and it honestly gets better every time. I went on Monday and they had poker, which was absolutely amazing—it added such a fun energy to the already laid-back vibe. The staff are always friendly and make you feel at home, even if you’re new to kava.

I love stopping by island root late night-early morning. My favorite Kavatender has to be Will. I feel like he’s always in a good mood(considering the hours he works that’s impressive lol). He’s honestly the main reason I stop in now as much as I do. Great kava and good vibes overall.

Good vibes only
Overall this is a great place to hang out and bring friends I do find it a little bit expensive and habit forming so if you're not used to the stuff then don't drink it it costs a lot of money. $50 + a day is wild.

Steph is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! She makes me feel seen, heard, and brings joy to my day each time I see her. Also Jasmine is one of those genuinely nice to the core sweethearts that exudes positivity. Keep up the great work ya’ll
