I visited this 2-week old juice cafe / kava bar on my first trip to magical Kauai. 💫 It’s a really cool space with good people, delicious drinks, plant medicines, and hand carved works of art. And it looks like they have frequent events, mocktail hours, etc. It’s as much a cafe as a sort of plant medicine drink apothecary - I recommend chatting with the staff to determine what’s going to serve you best based on your body’s needs that day. There are so many options on the drink menus! I don’t even know where to start. I had 3 drinks throughout my trip, and bought some dried Kava, dried Kratom, and local honey. I didn’t have the opportunity to eat there but the menu looks fantastic! They offer a healing broth that would be perfect if you’re feeling a bit rumpish from the demands of travel. I will have to try the Luau Stew and Green Papaya Salad next time. Such nourishing ingredients! I highly recommend for healthy, nourishing, medicinal food and drinks! And good vibes. 💓☺️

This place is such a breathe of fresh air, the kava was great and the Garden Island Iced Tea is delicious. These guys are doing good work out here and are very knowledgeable, will definitely be returning :)

Great kava experience! The shop has a rustic vibe, and owner was knowledgeable and helpful. They have the fresh “awa” you can’t find on the mainland. I love kava, and this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Remember straight kava will taste dry and earthy. If flavor is important to you, try one of the mock tails for the same effect with better flavor. 🫶

Awesome, place to grab healthy food, kava and other plant medicine! I went on a Saturday night and had a blast playing Hawaiian checkers with other fellow travelers. Aaron was such an awesome host who had an interesting mix of drinks other concoction besides kava I never would have thought of. The service and ambiance was just what I needed. A place I highly recommend if you need a break from the bar scene!

This place was great! My girlfriend and I loved our time here on a rainy day. The ambience is nice - chill atmosphere. The owner is super friendly and happy to chat with everyone. We learned about kratom and kava and tried the traditional kava, as well as the mocktails (great flavor with a hint of kava taste) and the taro soft serve, which was also good. We got one of the life shots and a smokeable kava roll (haven’t tried either yet). Definitely give it a go if you have any interest in Kava or plant medicines!
