This cute little gem is tucked away inside of a house and it is very intimate. They have couch seating and a tea bar. Non alcoholic place. This was a nice place to wind down after a night out with the girls. Intimate and lowkey.There were games and books. Tables to sit as well. I ordered a kava drink and you definitely don't want to drive after that drink. It gives a euphoric feeling. Idk if it was supposed to do that cause I'd never heard of it before. It was just a place I'd stumbled upon.The music selection was awesome. Kudos to the playlist curator. The bartenders.....teatenders? We're very knowledgeable about the drinks and suggested which tea they thought I'd like

Very cute little Seminole Heights cafe. I popped in determined to try kava. Who knows if I ordered the proper thing or not but I got a kava latte with oat milk and a splash of cold brew and toffee flavoring. The kava must taste like dirt because the drink had a dirt taste with like this feeling like the other flavors were kind of disguising it. It was drinkable though and I swear I was a bit calmer and less irritable the rest of the day.... The place was packed and is clearly a neighborhood favorite. Nice decor and cool seats - what a coffee shop should be.

A cozy pick-me-up Gem!I must admit parking is a bit difficult, but once you step foot inside you are taken by surprise. It's cozy, the vibes are warm, the music is smooth, and the staff is friendly!I went to go meet a friend and tbh I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly impressed by the wonderful energy here.If you're having a funky week, this is the place to go!I tried the house kava, it tasted earthy and well it's an acquired taste.But then, I had the BLUE LOTUS TEA! I couldn't believe how refreshing and delicious this was. I have only ever tried blue lotus tea warm, but this cold beverage was a winner!It was made with coconut milk and the taste was silky but smooth - the side effect - a wonderful feeling of relaxation!

For the Saturday morning I was looking for a coffee shop and decided to try out Bula Kavananda for the coffee.Bula Kavananda is an amazing coffee shop with beautiful interior and positive vibes.When I entered the cafe I was greeted by the cashier Maggie and she helped me to decide the coffee by answering different questions. She was very helpful and had a smile on her face while answering the questions.After exploring the menu i decided to order Matcha Latte. The service was good and i got my hot coffee in 10 minutes.The coffee was delicious and freshly brewed. I loved the coffee and atmosphere.I can clearly say that it is one of the best coffee shop in Tampa.I will be definitely back to try Kahwa too.

The first time I had Kava was in Fiji, and loved the authentic experience plus relaxation it offered. So, I was extremely excited when I saw this place/concept. Let me start with the good.. they have a great selection of products from Kava (in different ways), botanical teas/lemonades, coffee drinks, kombucha and more. They also offer different herbal shots and kava gummies. The decor is very fitting as it's a small bungalow so you feel like you're in someone's house and they have a range of seating areas like a day bed, bar with stools and tables. I had the Green Dragon botanical tea which I was advised to mix with lemonade, and you can add a variety of flavors (syrups) to combat the natural flavors. This is a great recommendation for anyone unfamiliar with the flavors of true kava and botanical teas. The negative... kava is known for its relaxation properties.. so the very loud music paired with people talking loudly does not go to work well with the concept. I could barely hear the kavatender explain the menu to me and I brought my laptop to work which this turned not to be the best environment for that. For reference, this is 2pm on a Sunday. Plus, there is quite some foot traffic in and out. Additionally, there was quite a few people smoking vapes (which didn't bother me but might definitely bother others). Chris, was the kavatender and he was great. Also, every time someone left he wiped the surfaces down and was attentive.

PARKING IS A BITCH !!! Outside of that. The place has a very home like vibe. I order the Green Dragon and it was absolutely perfect. A lemonade base to it but definitely very chill drink. They also have Canned Kava for on the go. All in all pretty decent place to kick back and get a drink.

Bula Kava is a great hangout place. Generally, it feels like there's nowhere to just sit and chill without getting alcohol or coffee. I love coffee shops and coffee, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood for coffee. Enter Bula. It has Kava and cool hangout vibes. But my favorite thing is the draft Kombucha. I'm not aware of other places in Tampa to get draft Kombucha at this time, but it's something I've enjoyed in other cities. I had the apple flavored one, and I really enjoyed it. The space is very hangout friendly, with lots of couches and seating at the bar. Loved it.

BULA NEEDS TO RECYCLE. Sad that they pretend to care about the earth but don't even recycle. This place used to be my favorite but now it's always loud corny pop punk music that's all over the place w and the short guy with the ponytail is so rude. I'll drive to grassroots now.
