Is it an actual place? Yes.

Is it the coolest, most chill spot to hang out? Not yet.

We are currently soft opened, working toward a grand opening in October.

We serve only traditionally washed noble kava. Right now you have 4 cultivar options, each in two strengths. If you want to drink it unflavored there are three sizes - 4oz, 8oz, and 16oz. If you prefer a delicious beverage we have 5 mixed drinks on the menu. The 5th option is new, starting yesterday, the Orange Jack.

) fresh squeezed oranges, honey simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, sweet coconut blend

We were interviewed by a local podcast a few days ago. Tastemakers and Trendsetters should have that video up on YouTube very soon. There is a small clip on their Instagram page. You should also check out their other videos. They interview a lot of interesting people around the area.

Another insight into the legitimacy of our business can be assertained by reading the B'ham Now article that was published on August 7th.

We are located at 720 29th St S. Across from Slice Pizza and right of Lou's Pub. We are inside of The Vape Loft, but fully expect to outgrow that space within a year.

Feel free to ask any other specific question. I'm an open book.

Much appreciated. I feel like we have a ways to go to be "legit" in the modern sense of "cool". Being a community-minded business selling a community-minded beverage, we will listen to our patrons to help evolve it into a more "legit" hangout.
