Well you need to be able to appreciate what kava & kratom really is. Your NOT going to see it's effects the first few times and there is truth in tolerance breakdown. The more you have the less you'll need as you start out. There are also fancy cocktail versions for those that need sweetness or something to hide the bite. It is made with the root of the plants and yes it's numbing to the tongue and lips which is the tip of how it can work on the central nervous system. There are different strains for example I prefer 50-50 which is 1/2 body.. 1/2 mind. This is a nice blend of I want some level of alertness but a relaxed body too. It can def compare to the drunk feelings alcohol gives you without the hangover the next day. Bula has a bohemian vibe very welcoming and warm; from the friendly kava tenders to the patrons. These is plenty of covered outdoor deck space with a pool table and games. Sometimes you can get a free pizza when a patron is kind enough to bring home some takeout! Plenty of room for the pups as it's dog friendly. There's karaoke on some nights or trivia. Plenty of great events and socializing to be had. They have kombucha on tap and once again acquired taste here it's fermented! So if your open minded and like to try kratom or kava , keep coming. For those of your friends that don't have the patience order coffee or kombucha. BULA!! (cheers!:)

Cute Kava bar across from St. Pete High. The atmosphere is extremely laid back and chill. The baristas were very friendly and offered recommendations based on my favorite flavors.

You have to try it, but not before or after any type of alcohol *or kombucha*. Learned both the hard way. You will feel like dyinggggg if you do! You've been warned. Don't expect a tasty sip of kava... it's not that sort of drink. But it will make your tongue a little numb! Just don't drink too much at first. The atmosphere at Bula is super chill and everyone is super nice! The last time I was there I made friends with someone who brought their switch and we played for a while! If you put your phone down and say hi and introduce yourself to people, you will make some new friends... The seating is outdoor so sometimes it's really hot and humid. But hey it's as close as we can get to Hawaii so I'll take it! This is a true gem.. Everyone takes shells together and says bula! I'm sure you've read some of the other reviews. It's a place you need to experience at least once, with an open mind and zero alcohol in your system within 24 hrs.

Both of their Kava and Kratom are strong, so if you are a frequent user you don't have to spend much money.

I ordered the buzz signature latte and it was on point! The coffee flavor was bold but perfectly paired with the sweet flavorings of vanilla, lavender and honey. The barista informed me that almost everything in the store is for sale as the shop doubles as an antique store. It's definitely worth checking out for a yummy coffee and some potential buys!!

They have a connecting entrance through Vintage Marche and also their own entrance from the outside. Antique classic stuff can be found here and a cool old time bar where they make coffee, tea, matchas, lemonade, etc. they also have a pastry case and after 3pm it's buy one get one free. Service was friendly and patient and my matcha strawberry was tasty, I sat on one of the couches and enjoyed my drink before walking around.

Daycation incorporated Asian flavors and pantry staples to offer the exciting and creative flavor…read morecombinations in coffee, matcha, and other tea beverages. The shop is small but mighty; the baristas are friendly, helpful with drink recommendations, and efficient with preparing orders. The first time I visited I ordered a "Ode to my 90s": a latte with salted black sesame cream and dates. After talking with the baristas, I learned that the flavors in this drink are exclusively in the cream top. As someone who likes flavored coffees, the barista suggested adding brown sugar syrup to the latte, which really pulled the whole drink together for me. It is nutty and toasted from the black sesame, sweet (but balanced!) from the brown sugar, and slightly rich from the cream. My only complaint is how quickly I finish it! It was such a hit for me that every time I have returned to Daycation it's been my drink of choice, despite how amazing all of the other drinks look.

According to them it is "Earl Grey tea with house vanilla syrup and your milk of choice House espresso or matcha Finished with a divine layer of our house-made blueberry cream top for the perfect touch of creaminess." A little tip before you shake it up, take a sip of the top so you can taste the cream top! The inside is small so it doesn't take a long line to almost be outside the business. They have seating inside and out but again, not much. This is definitely a place where I'm taking my drink to go.

I came to test the matcha as a non matcha drinker bc it's highly recommended and got the iced strawberry matcha. The strawberry stuff was fresh and yummy. Hid the matcha well but I would probably still prefer a coffee, which I will definitely get next time I come. They had singular free flowers for Mother's Day - beautiful touch. And flowers for sale as well as a charm booth selling some lip gloss etc. I didn't see the sign at the bottom of the front door saying no pets and I did bring my cat in its stroller while I ordered but everyone was kind/didn't tell me to wait outside or anything. After I got my drink, we went outside to sit and I noticed there was a bowl of water for pets which is nice!
