Stopped by while in town for a business trip hoping to kill two hours relaxing and reading a book with a nice kava beve, but some Vinn Diesel esque character behind the counter spent the bulk of the time screaming about COVID being fake and people needing to “wake up” with heavy use of the “R word”. Hilariously unhinged, would not recommend. The girl who rang me up was sweet and the kava was good. Best wishes to the audience of 20something year olds who have to listen to that hateful garbage all day- I hope y’all know that there’s a more productive way to translate that anger to help the resistance.

Wow, the ambiance had me even before ever trying kava. My first experience with kava, the barista explained the options, made suggestions, and made me feel like they were happy to do so... Like they wanted me there.
Customers were a special type! So awesome, very chill, very accepting. One guy fist bumped me on his way out when this we hadn't interested at all.
Kinda... Special atmosphere!

They couldn’t even tell me what brand of Kratom they use. So I am assuming they use very low quality mass produced stale as they come leaf. I’ll pass
Great service, cool atmosphere, and loved the drinks! Between my friends and I we tried a smores and cinnamon bun double kava, our mixologist was very informative and helped us make our choices. Will definitely be back!

Kava Kasa has been around a while now, and this was my first time back after a while. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed with a bit of a tropical feel, and the staff seemed friendly. The kava itself is bitter and earthy, and it’s best with something added to make it smoother. I took my kava with coconut milk, and it has a slight numbing effect in my mouth and throat. It’s a pleasant experience at least, and it seems like a nice place to while away some time. It’s definitely worth a try if you’re curious.

We took a crazy road trip detour to come see this bar and we were so pleased that we did. Excellent product, had everything we were looking for and hefty servings (: love from St Pete!
There are no words to describe how relaxing it was to walk inside a feel so at peace within. There was a young lady working that made the most delicious Matcha tea was so very kind, patient and extraordinary at her job. We need more people like her in customer service.
Thank you very much.

Great beverages, great food, great people! There's no place quite like it, and the community at kava is the best. If you haven't been - definitely check it out!

The kratom tea has a lot to be desired, compared to the many other kava bars we've been to in various states. The kava was very good.

I wanted to try something new, so after hearing about kava online, I decided to give it a go. Kava Kasa seemed to be the only spot around, so we went there. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and mentioned we could take our time to decide after telling them we've never been there. Since it was our first visit, we weren’t sure what to order. After seeing another group in the same situation, we felt a bit better but still wanted to order quickly and leave. The vibe reminded me of a hookah lounge, which isn’t really my thing. It would’ve been better if the staff were more engaging. The place had a relaxed, stoner vibe. The prices were reasonable, and while I’m not sure if it works, my mouth did feel a bit numb. I probably won’t return, but I’m sure others will enjoy it!

I walked into Kava Kasa for the first time in 2019 and have been coming back ever since. Kava itself is a fun experience, but so is the community! They have board games, trivia night, and other activities throughout the month.
I’ve seen many reviews calling it a hipster hangout, but it’s truly a melting pot of people. I have made some amazing friends I would never have met if I hadn’t walked through the doors. Whenever I need a friendly face, I head on over, grab a kava or cacao, and sit down.
I highly recommend checking it out! If you don’t want to try kava, they have plenty of other options like tea, coffee, cbd seltzer, smoothies, and they have amazing pizza!

Kava kasa is a magical portal. Go there your life will never be the same. Trust me.
Kava kasa is an amazing place to hangout and relax. The staff and regulars are what make this place! Highly recommend trying all their kavas, but if it’s not your thing, their coffee is great!
Also dog friendly!
