**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more
Even though I show much of my kava community support in the Space Coast primarily because I live there, I work in Stuart. Ergo on my "Fridays" (Sunday afternoons) when my work stint is done for the week, I like to relax with a nice, smooth kava mocktail, vibing with the locals.
I also support local, too, so despite Stuart having a Kavasutra and Island Root Kava, I prefer to go here the local kava bar, Hava Kava. And I have to say, this place is pretty good when it comes to kava and kratom, plus the other things they have (like some semblance of a food menu and a unique community exclusive to Stuart).
Though an address is provided, Hava Kava is located in Plantation Plaza, the same plaza that has the bowling alley and Ocean Republic Brewing.
On the outside, Hava Kava probably has to fit in with plaza rules on how it looks, but you can tell you're in front of it thanks to all the handheld windmills in front of the store. Inside, Hava kava is a cozy space with numerous seating situations and an L-shaped bar at the northwest corner. Chloe was attentive and friendly as I tried their "Usual" which is a kava extract shot with cake creamer, and their kava latte, their iced chocolate drink with kava. Both were good.
As somewhat of an added plus, Hava Kava also serves food. True it is microwavable bar food such as microwave pizza, microwave mozzie cheese sticks, and microwaveable chicken tenders, the fact there is such an option should be noted.
Finally, the community. I know such is not directly associated with Hava Kava, but they earned their keep. On Fridays, many of the patrons that show up are delivery drivers who don't even live in Stuart. So in a way, brothers and sisters in arms as we show our support for the local mom n' pop kava bar over the corporate drone.
And just so it is mentioned, Hava Kava only had one unisex restroom. It was clean enough.
Ultimately, I want to give Hava Kava four-out-of-five stars for their review. If they are consistent with everything aforementioned or ever better in the future, I will update this review, granting them their fifth star for consistency.
