Brooklyn Kava 191 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

"The person helping us was incredibly kind and patient. They explained everything Kava to us since it was our first time drinking it. I really liked the Horchata-Kava mix but I feel like it wasn’t as strong as I’d like to get the full experience. The space is small but there is outdoor seating. Since it was warm, I enjoyed drinking my Kava in the park."

"I've frequented a lot of kava bars, but this one wins. The regulars are really friendly and the conversation is top notch, especially once you get to know them a little. I've made some actual friends here. Always great music. I love how they make everything the "old fashioned" way, on site, versus just buying it premade and of unknown origin. It feels like they take pride in having a good product. I've gotten sick off the drinks from some other kava bars, but not here. Great location too, there's a good Mexican restaurant next door, and the park down the street. Nice to work in here too, they're really open to that."

"I had a straight traditional kava, iced, earthy and tongue-numbing. Also a turmeric kombucha which was pleasantly bubbly and well spiced. Barista has great musical taste, chill lofi hip hop played at a subtle volume really added to the relaxing vibe. Only downside is no AC in the summertime (cooled somewhat by a breezeway), place is very au naturale."

"Great menu and delicious pastries. Staff was not as friendly as other reviews had me to believe. I was new to Kava and did not get a lot of assistance. Also, the space was very small."

"Good Kava. Small space, can be a bit crowded. There's also a counter to the outside so you can order without going inside."
