What People Are Saying
from Google"This place is such a gem! After a day on the springs Veronica made us a perfect pick-me-up and the space was so cozy for warming up and chilling out. My friend loved the quesadilla and I'll definitely be back with an appetite to try their breakfast burrito in the future! Thanks for the great vibes~"
"Finally. A medicinal drink shop in Hernando county! And the food is delicious. No one makes coffee, kratom, and kava quite like Laurie and Faith! The flavors are an experience on their own. The space this shop provides is safe and cozy. Waterfront view on the back patio is gorgeous. Definitely would recommend to friends. Go check this place out!"
"Absolutely amazing charming place. Owner runs it and is so outgoing and explained all the different drinks and what they mean. Never heard of kava or kratom and she broke it down like a scientist. Both drinks were so delicious and homemade. Sat out back on the patio. Beautiful view and tons of fun games. Absolutely will go back."
"A hidden gem! My husband and I went here a few weeks ago for a chill birthday celebration for us. The front door was a little hard to find, but after that, everything was total vibes. We didnt stay inside very long, but the way they have the counter lit up is breathtaking. The color pallet is very easy on the nervous system. The outside seating area is serene. They are nestled up to a canal that us full of nature. Its a perfect spot to welcome in the sunset without getting blasted in the eyes by light. The owner is a doll! You can tell she truly loves what she does. We had a few of the mocktails and they were all so yummy. She was out of ingredients for one of the drinks, but came in clutch with a recipe that wasn't on the menu. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Happy 1st birthday!!!"
"I’m no stranger to Kava and have been to many different spots over the years. This place is hands down the best one I have ever visited. Their selection of different kratom and kava drinks is amazing. The owners Faith and her mom did an outstanding job curating a menu with thoughtful ingredients and great presentation. The best part though, are the events they host at the bar. From Jazz nights and open mic comedy, to movie nights by the water, there is always something engaging happening. Their passion for quality and community really shines through in every detail, from the drink menu to the vibe of the space. I highly recommend checking them out."
