Honestly the chilliest place . Everyone was so nice . Heaven for an introvert like meeee I specifically went to midtown kava to try the kava drink for the first time . I got the “ boojee kava shell “ with just the traditional kava and vanilla coconut cream & another drink the matcha mate (I could be saying wrong ) . Both drinks were delicious!I will definitely be back ! thank you .

This place is the cats meow, the dogs bark, the birds song, and the people’s joy. It has the best atmosphere this side of heaven and the people there are genuinely nice. I had an orange tea on ice. I don’t remember what it was called it but hit the spot. Step inside for a moment and watch that moment fade blissfully into an hour. I love this place!

Weekly local artists and amazing coffee. I fell in love with the atmosphere and releasing atmosphere. A safe place to get a fresh Chai latte or drink.
