Roots and Leaves Kava & Teas - Kava Bar Experience

I am typically a regular at a different Kava bar. But while in the area I thought, why not stop by this place? I came in with a couple friends, we each had a single shell of kava and their white vein Kratom tea. After leaving, all 3 of us became very sick. We were extremely nauseous and ended up throwing up multiple times. I had been warned by an ex employee that it is not a clean establishment and I wish I had listened. The blonde bartender that brought us our drinks was unkind and seemed irritated at us being there. I would not recommend this place. I will continue to stick with my regular kava bar, where I have never had an issue.

I have been getting kratom here periodically and the last 3 visits I have thrown up after getting half way through their beverage. I’m not sure if it’s the recipe, preparation, or quality of product, but the most recent time sickness lasted 24 hours and feeling that something is not right. I don’t think I will be making that mistake again. The waiters are mostly kind and welcoming and the atmosphere is great. I really wanted to like their products, but for whatever reason my body refuses to tolerate this. I have been a kratom consumer for several years and used to make my own daily, but have only vomitted from product at this location.

I want to give this place 5 stars to support the business but nobody talks (why are you at a bar?) and the music is horrible, hard rock and rap at a kava bar??? Definitely not a kava bar vibe imo. Will continue to go back and hopefully my experience will improve PS - I've been there several times and 9/10 its usually slipknot, or early 90s grunge, seriously weird vibe for a kava bar. How about some nice peaceful, pretty and relaxing music. Nothing says Kava bar like screamo music! 🤢

Overall a fantastic place to hangout. Great staff very friendly and will happily explain what kava and kratom are to new customers. As far as food goes they only serve the foam ramen cups and some chips and candy but that's 10 outta 10 for me. Highly recommend and the vibe is more chill and relaxed then the kavarado on Stuart and College.

I love this place. I really do. I’ve been here about a dozen times. Guys please read this review. TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! People like to talk and have conversations. I’ve heard this from multiple people I’ve talked to that go there and it’s always the same. Just down a few notches, that’s all.
