Walked in and sat down, and was asked by the representative if he could get me anything. I said I'm fine for now, and he then said "are you planning on getting a drink?" I said "I'm going to chill for now". He then said that this is place is only for paying customers, and gave me a gesture that I needed to leave, so I left. There was two people in the entire store... What if I just didn't want to purchase a drink, right then and there? I could understand if there was a shortage of seating, but nobody was in there... Not sure if he was having a bad day or what but I've never been to any type of lounge or cafe that treated a customer like that... read more

Seating is the challenge here, barely got to fit our party of four. A kind customer moved to allow us to use the tiny sofa and chair area If you are solo that's fine because there is mainly a bar. You can sit outside but ppl smoke out there and it is summer now,... no thank you. The bartender was great and patient with newbies. It is very confusing at first and the sticky menus do not help. However at 6pm, when they give a ritual toast in bowls, we were invited to be a part, not knowing it was a paid event. This left a bitter taste to our experience, excuse the pun Drinks were all good. Between the four of us, we had 9 drinks and tried a bunch. They were all good, esp the chocolate ones and the apple on tap Mondays you get one free for every two ordered These drinks were felt very mildly, some do not feel anything. For the cost of the drinks and all the ice used, most of my party were not impressed They preferred liquor but as a non drinker, this is good for me. I preferred the bubbly on tap Kava can be bitter, I think it tastes like tea. but I like the taste though initially numbs your mouth Nice location with plenty of parking. Food would be nice but this place is very small and limited. They do have snacks you can buy. Probably not return unless I was alone. Not cheap but a fun time with friends. If there was more seating inside it would be a game changer read more

Great drinks in a convenient location! Was happy to find this Kava Culture location closer to my usual shopping areas in Naples. It's smaller than other locations, but don't let that deter you from making a visit. The outdoor seating is pretty good, and the indoor seating was just what I needed for a quick drink and can pickup while I was running errands. The staff were friendly and attentive. Beach bar vibes all day long! Washrooms could use some help, but not a deal breaker. Looking forward to returning again on my next trip! read more

Love coming here when Maria is working. She is so friendly, bubbly and she makes the best drinks. I use to come here years ago and stopped. Then I decided to check it out one night and met her, now I'm a regular again. read more

Had a great experience here! The kind teatender made me a mango juice Kratom cocktail which was wonderful. Very cozy and accepting atmosphere. read more

If I could rate it less I would. I've never felt more uncomfortable somewhere. There were 2 guys working. They looked and acted like they were in high school. The bar was full of what seemed like their friends. All very young and immature. I was only in there for about 5 minutes and I heard them all talking about how woman's cycles were called shark week and why and then a customer walked past another and jokingly said "don't touch my d***" then the worker proceeded to run around from the bar and yell "ooo touch mine, touch mine". They were sitting at the bar top after they made my order and smoking their vapes. I got a drink and they had the worst customer service I've ever received. The only positive thing I have to say was that my drink was really good. I will not be coming back because of the customer service. read more

I had a herbal tea and it was delicious! She was very helpful also. Such a great atmosphere in there

Great place, Eliyse is a wonderful Kava tinder!! It's a wonderful vibe, they do a toast in Hawaiian culture connectivity fashion with kava in a "shell". Pet friendly and they educate you if you new to the benefits ans relaxing qualities of the Beverages, teas , and cocktails. Open until 1:00 AM great for a stroll from Mercato !! Grand opening this Saturday! read more

See all

Of the two times I've tried Kava bars, this location was the worst experience. The "Kavatender" was uninterested, rude, and her partner only made an appearance at the register when she didn't know how to issue a refund. If this is what Kava "Culture" is, then I'll never step foot in here again. The beverage itself was absolutely horrendous. The moment it touched my tongue my tongue was coated in an almost acidic substance which I spit out instantly. I'd rather drink hard liquor which would be more pleasant and less money. The bar itself was filled with people as equally uninterested as the lady at the counter. This is not a social lounge. This is a lounge for anti-socials to sit down and play World of Warcraft while staring at their phone screens for hours. As someone who's worked in the service industry for years, please understand that the current staff and customers will not make you feel welcomed and you will have wasted 15$ on the nastiest beverage you've ever consumed. read more

It's really good I would consider going there it's very peaceful and nice people check it out

Bartenders don't know how to do there jobs. More focused on parting and not custom service. Avoid this place

Feels like a fad. Menu too limited. You can't drink after having Kava, so that limits your options for dining afterwards. At least serve SOME food. read more

This place was awesome everyone so friendly and I would definitely recommend what a cool hang out!

This place kinda sucks. As a regular kratom drinker, I love exploring new places and their atmospheres however out of the 3 times I've come here, only 1 experience was good. the Last time I went in, i went with a friend and the kavatender knew she was new to the kava experience as she asked "what's the difference between kava and kratom" and the girl just kind of mumbled something about the menu. I tried the kava and I remembered why I preferred kratom however when my friend didn't like the kava, we asked for refunds and were met with such a heavy attitude and stinky eye from this girl. I took 1 sip more than my friend as I thought maybe I could force the kava down but the girl just said "next time bring your drink back before u drink it if you don't like it", so how am I supposed to know I don't like it if I don't try it?? as food service workers and a barista myself it's understandable her frustration however there was no reason to also speak about us to the rest of her friends that were sitting at the bar. The last time I went, the guy working was much kinder and open to answering our questions (his name was Alex? And was eager to teach everyone about the drinks and deals that occurred throughout the night) however, when we asked for the bill he mentioned they prohibit vaping inside the store despite his friends sitting next to us literally vaping and vapes on the table. It definitely felt a little weird since it was kind of unfair that he turned a blind eye to his friends but didn't bother to mention this new rule the entire time that we were there. anyway so if the kavatender is a girl with long dark hair and a nasty attitude, look up any of your questions on Google because she was honestly such a horrible experience to kava and I've never had such a negative experience with kavatenders!! honestly with my bad experiences here I'd rather go someplace else with people who actually enjoy their jobs and teach people about drinks because it really isn't that hard to be kind to new people. read more
