"The Kava Kafe is one of Saint Augustine’s true hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely community-driven. The kava and teas are top-notch, smooth, well-crafted, and served by staff who actually care about what they’re pouring and who they’re pouring it for. It’s the kind of place where conversations happen naturally, creativity flows, and you instantly feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Whether you’re looking to unwind, meet interesting people, or just enjoy a calm, soulful atmosphere, The Kava Kafe nails it every time. A must-visit spot in the neighborhood."

"As my family and I were navigating the insanity that is the Night of Lights tourist traffic, I saw a sign for boba. I stopped in my tracks, I went in and was greeted by very lovely staff! The atmosphere is very comfortable and quite nice to chat in, it’s amazing that there is a NON-ALCOHOLIC lounge! Though I’ve grown up going to St. Augustine my whole life, I have never had a nice quiet lounge space to have a shockingly well priced drink in. I highly recommend taking a stop here! It’s a great break from the chaos that can be old St. Augustine."

"Gas station coffee would've been better. It's one of the busiest weekends of December and this place was empty, first red flag. I thought it'd be a cute unique coffee shop but the place felt run down and strange. Ive never felt more awkward and unwelcome. No proper signs to tell you where to order, it's just a closet sized space in the corner of the house. Three workers huddled together no one saying hi, welcome in, how can I help you, nothing.. I love weird, quirky hole in the wall spots but this was depressing. Ordered two drinks, one for someone who is diabetic and they made the same exact MICROWAVED coffee for both of us. It was lukewarm water. Not coffee machines or frothers or a proper setup, literally just someone's home with a microwave. This place could have potential with the right machines and staff but it felt like a broke down frat house. Also, if you're going to have a shop pet at least give it a proper place to lay and food. We felt so bad for the poor dog, give her some toys or something! Overall this place is embarrassing and disappointing, not even worth the struggle it wouldve been for a refund, I don't think they know what they're doing so we just threw our drinks away and went to a different place. It sucks that I had high hopes thinking we found a gem in this great location."

"The place itself looks really nice, lots of rooms, even one with a gaming setup, so the vibe is great. But we had to wait quite a while for someone to actually show up at the bar, which was a bit annoying. And the kava… honestly super weak. Didn’t feel a thing."

"We found this really cute spot and the girl that attended to my wife was really sweet and helpful. The tea my wife got was delicious. They also have a candle store inside and you can make your own candles."
