    I stopped by Kava and Company to finish up some work on the computer. Having a place that I can make part of my workday is an invaluable resource everyone in Jacksonville should take advantage of. Vanessa was wonderful and has a passion for all things kava. I’ll definitely make my way back to Kava and Company the next time I’m working in the area.

    Great spot! Wish we had one in Atlanta. Vanessa was a huge help at guiding me though the ins and outs of the menu, and it’s a cool spot to chill!

    This ain't your average coffee shop, ya'll!!! Zen atmosphere and the chillest vibes in San Marco, IMO. Every "Kavatender" in the place was knowledgeable, friendly, and went the extra mile to educate and accommodate. Great spot to hang with friends or kick it solo. Or pop in in the mornings or early afternoon and get some work/studying done (you'll pretty much have the place to yourself, no interruptions). You can sit at the bar, small tables and couches indoors, but the have a sweet outdoor space complete with foosball tables, a fountain, and even spaces to bring your pet along. They have light food & even vegan options, but I just tried several of their drinks. PHENOMENAL! And to think that I just popped in for a regular latte on my day off! I have been back 3 times since then, in a week & a half. You'd never know it from the nondescript "Fresh Coffee" flags fluttering outside that you're about to enter a whole other dimension. Highly recommend!

    Very cute atmosphere! Lots of things to do and many options if you want to try Kava or just have a normal coffee. The barista was very nice and explained all the elixers to me. I had the chunky monkey smoothie and it was very tasty. I also tried the chocolate chocolate chip muffin that was gluten free which paired nicely with the drink. Definitely an interesting place to try!

    I don't often rave or write reviews, but when one stumbles across best-in-class performance, it's just irresponsible not to shout it out. So...Chelsea and her Cafe Latte: IMHO unbeatable by other coffee shop brands in the San Marco area! You have to linger and savor it to fully appreciate the delicious taste and consistency.....AND she spoils my dog (Chanel) with a pup cup and a warm greeting every time! So thanks @Chelsea for converting us into loyal repeat customers, now reviewers and advocates of Kava & Company (San Marco)!

    We went here on Sunday evening, they had yoga classes in the backyard, the drinks were great, hot cocoa was my favorite. They also have a lot of seats to work, a pool table , ping pong and nice decoration. I recommend it if you want to read a book or work with your computer and a nice drink ☕️🧉

    Learned about this place while reviewing the web for local events. My curiosity was peeked so I had to stop in after my Saturday AM workout. OMG! K&C is super chill, comfortable and inviting. Vanessa, the mixologist, is serving a wonderful selection of specials. She patiently answered my newbie questions and is definitely turning me into a fan and a repeat customer!!! Stop in today. You gotta check this place out!

    The CUTEST spot! The drinks are delicious AND they’re family friendly. The outdoor section is great with ping pong and other games. I’ll definitely be back!

    This was our first time at a kava/non-alcoholic bar. We didn’t actually realize that’s what it was because we were actually looking for a coffee shop and this place came up with good reviews so we went. First, parking is in the paid surface lot across the street that does not have handicap parking. I wish this was clearly explained on the website or About info on Yelp/Google rather than a small sign on the door. We walked in and immediately noticed it was quite warm inside with no air conditioning. It was 85 outside. The bartender greeted us. We said it was our first time and she just handed us menus and walked away. We sat down and decided on a drink and she came to the table and took our order. We just ordered iced lattes since that was what we originally came for. She asked what milk we wanted and whether it was here or to go but did not ask what size we wanted (this will come up later). Drinks came and my husband said again that it was our first time and asked what the place was all about. So she gave a brief explanation of kava and the other leaf based tea and a little about the business and then left again. It just felt like we got the bare minimum and if we didn’t “get” it, it probably wasn’t for us. Iced lattes were ok. Not the best we’ve had and not the worst. They use Torani syrup, which is not my fave. I had to go up to the bar to ask for the bill and when I got it I realized she charged us for the larger/more expensive size. The patio looked nice and the bathroom was clean, if a little cramped in the stall. If you are into kava/CBD/etc and you don’t mind a warm environment without A/C you might like this place. I appreciate the idea and we might try the Mandarin location but between the parking and heat we won’t be back to this location

    Kava and Company is honestly the most fun I've had in years. People are awesome and friendly, plus free pool. David is always super helpful and welcoming.

    Kava & Co has created a safe space for sobriety unlike any other! It feels like you are hanging at a local bar, which is so nice for young folks who want to hang out on a Friday night without alcohol. So many drink options, specials, games/things to do, Tv's for football games, and there is something going on basically everynight! This is the hottest sober bar around with the coolest crew! You will definitely be coming back for more!

    This was an amazing spot in our trip here to Jacksonville. It’s right across the street from our hotel. The chai tea latte was my first visit and tonight is the Campfire Mocha with D8. My husband had the Dirty Duuuval. He really loved the whole experience. I love that it’s alcohol free bar that really keeps the vibe chill. You need to try this place out. I’m jelly that my area back home doesn’t have a place like this!!

  • 5/5 Lue E. 3 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    This is an amazing place! BEAUTIFUL! I had such a FUN night with my husband. We were able to just relax, play ping pong, and enjoy our night. Definitely will be back! Vanessa is awesome!

    K&co has a very welcoming, chill vibe. The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. The inside area is beautifully decorated, they have a few tables, couple of couches and coffee tables with table games, and when you walk outside, they have a pool table, ping pong, darts and a few other games, def my go-to hang out spot 😁

  • 5/5 Baylee T. 10 months ago on Google
    This place is such a vibe. there's so much to do here! They have pool, foosball, board games, beer pong... All kinds of stuff to do while you're drinking kava. This is hands down the best kava bar I've ever been to!

  • 5/5 Isabella C. 1 year ago on Google
    love this place! their drinks are amazing and it’s such a vibe, i highly recommend coming here! this drink is the white chocolate frappe with caramel made by my favorite kavatender hailey :)

  • 5/5 Taylor 1 year ago on Google
    I really love going here! I’ve been here three times and every time I go, it’s a good environment. The staff are very friendly and willing to offer recommendations. There are numerous games to play, ping pong, pool, foosball, and more. It’s very affordable. One thing to note - parking across the street does cost a few dollars as there is no parking at the location. Looking forward to coming again!

  • 5/5 Sam 1 year ago on Google
    Great Kava spot, Atmosphere was phenomal . They had board games, friendly customers, outdoor pool, ping pong and much more! The drinks I had were on really good. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Dyllan C. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place not only for the coffee the experience. Josh, Vanessa and David are the most inspiring people I’ve met. Don’t plan to come here just for a drink you’re going to leave with a new mindset on life.

  • 5/5 Matt G. 1 year ago on Google
    What a gem of a place. First time coming you won't be sure you're at the right place but as soon as you walk in, you'll know. Their flavor combinations are great and it's been a great time out without the hangover the next day. Daily events (comedy, music, etc), board games, comfortable couches, pool, ping pong, ring toss, TV, good drinks and friendly staff. Can't ask for more.

  • 5/5 sydney j. 7 months ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place it’s my favorite bar! Gio makes the best gummies, Vanessa Meghan and Chelsea are the absolute best bartenders in the world! So clean and so huge for a bar, and so many cool events. Karaoke, trivia, yoga, flow night, drum circle, night market with a food truck. Such an underrated place. I am going to add this picture though because my dog ALWAYS gets yelled at for sitting on the furniture but I saw this the other day

  • 5/5 Carter M. 7 months ago on Google
    Kenny and crew absolutely make the experience here. You have people from all walks of life coming here for their own reasons, but the staff makes you feel like you are all family. The drinks are strong, delicious, and get served quickly.

  • 5/5 Rick C. 1 year ago on Google
    Their Green Tea is pretty potent. There aren't too many lounges to choose from in Jax so I'm glad I found this place! They also have a nice outdoor patio with a pool table and ping pong.

  • 5/5 Ian C. 9 months ago on Google
    It has been great working with Kava & Co. and Staff. We are currently installing a mural here and have felt super accepted and appreciated. Food and drinks are great, not to mention all the cool events and fun places to hang out. Well done guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

  • 5/5 TheOddGuysOut 8 months ago on Google
    I had an incredible experience at Kava & Company! The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The drinks were a delightful blend of flavors, and I was impressed by the variety they offered. The location was perfect, and the cozy furniture added to the relaxing ambiance. I can't wait to visit again and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere they've created. A definite 5-star gem!

  • 5/5 Cera R. 8 months ago on Google
    I don’t go to this location anymore because I moved too far away, but it was a really nice run with you guys! The green kratom tea really helped me with my daily routine and helped me take charge of my mental health. For that I am forever grateful! Awesome staff who all deserve good TIPS :) Thanks to the owner for making her dream a reality. I’m sure it’s helped a lot of people on their journey of sobriety and mental health. Or just simply a good time. Much love! ~Cera

    Kava and Company is a welcoming place for anyone looking to enjoy themselves in a non-judgemental atmosphere with very positive vibes. The service is amazing, plenty of things to do while you are sipping on delicious non-alcoholic beverages! I feel at home here and invite others as much as I can! Vanessa is a wonderful kava-tender, she always makes the best drinks!

  • 5/5 Zane H. 10 months ago on Google
    Moved to Jacksonville earlier this year and I’m big follower in the kratom/kava community and this place is amazing with all the amenities they offer. Food is delicious and made from scratch in their kitchen. Most importantly the service is great! The staff is friendly, understanding and fun to have conversations with(make sure to ask for Vanessa). Best Kava Bar is Jacksonville without a doubt!

    Blown away at how cute the place was as soon as we walked in! The service was top notch. Chelsea was the best! 10/10 on every drink we tried. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You won’t regret it 💕
