Enjoyed the pretzels. They also serve French vanilla coffee here. Nice chill spot. I don't have any complaints.

NOT PET FRIENDLY AND RUDE- My husband & I have been going to kava bars for 8+ years, taking our service animal kitty, who is harness trained, to each one and have never had a problem. We had been to this location a month ago at night with our cat & were never told she wasn't allowed to be in this kava bar. Today, we returned with our cat & had been hanging out in there for about 20 minutes. She was sitting nicely in a corner while I was getting my SMALL kratom tea, when the manager said that the cat was not allowed to be in there, saying that she was not clean and would spread disease. I asked if dogs were allowed to be in here and he responded saying yes dogs are allowed in here but he just took a class on cats & stated that they spread disease and they're not allowed to be in here. We paid $12 for a SMALL drink, which was extremely overpriced and felt horrible by how this man talked to us. We left nicely and other guests looked at us and apologized saying they have never heard of someone saying that before. We will never be coming back to support this location as well as any of the other locations due to this horrible experience. read more

Recently went to the Downtown and Satellite Beach locations. Both had a nice vibe and great service with reasonable prices. Highly recommended read more

Great tea room in downtown Melbourne. The Kava is top notch, and the nitro teas are on point. Go see John at the bar. He's super friendly and a great bartender. The bar has a very intimate setting. Nice size lounge area inside and plenty of seating outside too. read more

This is the best kava bar I have ever been to, and is the only one I will go to. I have been to a few in Orlando, and hated them. The bartenders at island root are amazing- and their kava drinks actually taste good. This is the perfect place to bring your laptop and do some work while you relax. read more

Located in downtown Melbourne a Kava bar. My friend turned me on to this kava drink it was cool and weird at the same time.

Bartender was cute , funny and humorous. Parking is easy on the sidewalk. read more

Island Root Kava Bar - two people entering the restaurant - Lounges Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Great local Kava Bar, I like to visit when in town. Very much enjoy the kavatenders and bar backs. They are so nice. Manager is not very personable. Stayed a several of times for open mic night on Tuesday, it seems the same people playing the same songs. Most patrons stay inside during this time so it gets crowded inside. Would have been nice to stay outside but the music was not the best. I have visited a few other kava bars in the area but Island Root by far is the best. read more

I've been coming to Island Root for about two years in Abacoa, phenomenal customer service great people and good vibes five star rating all the way! read more

My cousin and I were visiting from out of town and looking for some nightlife. This place seemed very active for a Tuesday night at 10:00. When we came in it was a super chill vibe and kind of a mixed crowd. We sat down to order beers and by some stroke of luck, my cousin asks, "So, what's your specialty?" The bartender described Kava and explained what it is used for in a very helpful and friendly way. We ordered two and then he had us wait to drink them with a few others who had just ordered. It was fun but tasted... like a mud puddle! We then realized that we had happened upon a sober bar!!! They do not sell any alcohol. The Java made my tongue numb and I almost felt mildly stony. Overall a very cool experience and a great bar alternative for anyone sober/recovering or just wanting a break from drunk people. There were no obnoxious people there and everyone seemed pretty friendly and respectful. read more

Went here to try Kava for the first time as I was traveling from out of town, did not want to drink and drive (tons of police in Melbourne!), and have always wanted to try Kava. The "bartender" here was very friendly and informative for my first Kava experience. He wanted to make sure I understood the history of the product and that he was serving me something suited to my tastes. It is a social drink that is a fun experience to share with others and they will always have some Kava with you so you don't drink alone. Kava Sutra is also a non-rushed establishment and I got the sense you are free to linger here as long as you want to savor the promised Kava induced relaxation. That said, this was my first time trying Kava and I didn't notice any obvious effect after drinking 3 "shells." My mouth got a little numb but that was short lived. If I had the time to stay longer, the bartender promised that they have stronger versions (with kava concentrate added) that would surely have an effect. I liked it and will go back, although I'm not sure I've really drank the "kool aid" yet on the promised effects of Kava. It's fun though and I enjoyed the newbie experience. read more

Island Root Kava Bar - Kava! - Lounges Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Nice vibes. Great atmosphere. The guys working here are very knowledgeable about this stuff. I stopped by on my way back to Fort Lauderdale. I grabbed a kratom tea (white label) that was supposed to help me relax, not to much lol, on the drive back. I like that there is free parking because I'm definitely not used to that (big city problems). This was actually my second time in 2 days visiting. Yeah, that good. The guys here seem pretty cool and if I lived in Melbourne this would probably be a spot I'd visit every few days. I recommend this place. Enjoy guys. read more

Very clean fun place! This was my first time visiting. Everyone's so friendly and chill. There's card/board games to play. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. They'll help you find the drink for you. It's a new experience! read more

Great local kava bar. I had the orange blossom CBD Kombucha and the Hot & Spicy Poke Bowl. Both delicious. Great vibe too

I love coming here! The kava is spectacular, just as everything else on the menu is. Fun events everyday of the week. Absolutely the perfect spot whether you want to wind down, or amp up to go somewhere else. Everyone is extremely friendly! The bartenders are making jokes, and the customers are happy to make conversation. I know that every time I come in I'll have a positive experience:) read more

These guys are serving up some great Kava! I was on a business trip and stumbled upon this awesome bar. I'm Polynesian so I was curious to see what this Kava Bar had to offer. It was such a great experience! Growing up drinking Kava they're offer a great tasting variety crafted by their creative Kava-ologist Ben. His respect towards the ingredients and Kava show real craftsmanship. The Kava is imported from a variety of Polynesian islands so you're getting close to home for those of us who grew up drinking Kava from the islands. These guys have a genuine love and respect for Kava so that was great to see. Did I mention they serve combucha, coffee, kraftom (which I tried for the first time), and a few other things. The vibe is great! If your familiar with Kava or curious to try it for the first time, check this place out! You'll be amongst a welcoming crowd and a great staff! Looking forward to my next visit! Thanks for a great time! read more

First time going to a Kava Bar with friends. Nice atmosphere even if it's a bit compact. The pretzels are amazing and the bar staff is knowledgeable. read more

Cute bar with good service. Tried the bullet and nitro. Flavors were very good. Will make Island Root my go to kratom bar in Melbourne.

Kratom is weak. Would not recommend if you are wanting to feel any effects. Would recommend speakeasy or blue lagoon.

This is the best kava bar I've been too. Their kratom teas are refreshing, smooth and freshly brewed, not gritty like some other places that use a powder. The vibes are great. The people are nice and always chill. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. The place is clean & well lit. The fish in the tank are obviously well taken care of. The staff is friendly and knowlegable. They go above and beyond for their customers. I would give them an even higher rating if I could. read more

Best place to hangout laid back fun place for non-drinkers we hangout almost every night

Island Root Kava has a very relaxed vibe, and the bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. You aren't rushed at all; you can hang out as long as you like, even if you don't get that many drinks. I would recommend the kava over the kratam tea; I got the promised euphoric/relaxed feeling from the kava, but not the kratam tea. I highly recommend this place, for the friendly atmosphere and people, and the kava. I plan on becoming a regular here! read more

Had fun visiting this place recently for the first time. It's a great place to hang out when you are done drinking alcohol at other places in the area. No alcohol served here. Kava, Kratom, teas, small snacks. The best thing about this place is that it stays open till 4am and seems welcoming to all ages and stages! read more

My first kava experience and I cannot wait to move back home to Florida (I'm away training for the next year) so I can go back! Great Kava with awesome kavatenders who really know what they're talking about! The regulars are friendly and welcoming! Fav place to hang out at in the Melbourne area, by far! read more

Best Lava bar I've ever been to. Kratom is delicious (raspberry is my fav) and they offer it in 96 oz containers at $55 which is a fair price. read more

Probably not the place to hang out all day and only buy one drink that's just shy of ten dollars. There is policy to ask customers to leave and the bartenders will get in trouble if they let people stay without continuously purchasing their root juice, its better when paired with an energy drink but not something I crave unless I've been fasting, sub par music for my taste but probably the best place to get stood up at. Comfy with wifi password protected. Well lit, air dryer, place to charge electronics, nice staff. Green kreytum, or white. Red upset my tummy that day.. Could've been something else Glad its not another bar that serves alcohol. Not too uptight read more

Island Root Kava Bar - Green kretum - Lounges Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

My husband and I stopped in here on a Monday night and had a wonderful time! Angela, the bartender, was very knowledgeable about kava and was very friendly. The atmosphere is really chill and the regulars there welcomed us with open arms. I highly recommend Island Root Kava Bar as a chill place to hang out! read more

Kind of an off the wall place for Melbourne, but pretty cool. Cool vibe, nice atmosphere, and two things: Kava & E Cigs. So for those that wonder about Kava, it is a root from the south pacific that gives you a relaxed feeling. Not drunk by any means... just a mild stress relief. The price of that stress relief is some pretty god awful taste that is, well... let's just say acquired. Nonetheless, if you like Kava, or just want to find out what it is, this is a cool place. They have lots to choose from, and if you are new to the concept they are very helpful. read more

Unique place different from the usual bar scene. Super relaxed pleasant atmosphere. One of a kind. Stays open later than the bars. Kava is a safe way to rid yourself of anxiety. The perfect sedative to unwind with. read more

Great place to chill during late night hours a freind said I should meet up with him here and I didn't regret it. Just start talking to people and you get a very warm welcome. Stuff tastes like dirt but they have mints to combat that, or just bring something to chase it. Only downside I'd say is prices. read more

Pretty cool bar. Welcoming and talkative staff. First time trying kava. Super relaxing. Will definitely be back for more!

Nice atmosphere , the kava is made right, and they always have great music to vibe to. Huge jenga is a plus

Stopped in from out of town. Felt like home away from home! Glad to have found it! Everyone was really nice! The kava was legit! Will definitely return! Thanks to Eric for ordering pizza for me! read more

Island Root Kava Bar - They even let me behind the bar! - Lounges Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Literally this lounge is unlike anything I ever seen before. It's a kava bar so for those who are tired of alcohol can come here to enjoy a bowl of kava juice. In case you are wondering what Kava is it's root from the Pacific used to make a natural tea which is used to consume to relax and sedate. For about $5 a bowl you can enjoy a non savory tasting drink that gives you a feel good vibe. They try to flavor the drink with fruit flavors but it just doesn't work but regardless drinking a kava is worth the effect. Kava Sutra lounge is really chill and they are always playing music along with tvs showing surfing. Must recommended for those mellow nights. read more

My father actually introduced me to this bar. The feeling is very relaxed and an "all are welcome" type of vibe. Wednesdays are Ladies Drink Free, which is fantastic for everyone. The staff is knowledgeable about Kava and have no problem adjusting the strength of the shot based on your experience. It can be a bit of a grainy type of taste (since you are drinking a smashed up root), but there are different varieties and flavored combinations (such as fruit punch). You will leave feeling relaxed and "zin" after visiting Kavasutra. read more

I am dying to go here! I don't have a car so I've been trying to find another way. Soon..I will go and give a good honest review! Stay tuned! read more

I'm living in Orlando but I drove to Melbourne with my brother yesterday to visit the bar since I wanted to try kava. The owner was there and he and the bartender were really helpful in explaining things. It's the kind of chill place that I really like. Really good alternative to the bar scene. read more

Been here a couple of times, fairly expensive however very relaxed atmosphere. Went tonight because I had a friend who needed something to relax them and went with my son, being as typically we sit outside. Went in and ordered and not once did anyone say one word to me about him being there, hell they even offered him candy, had they said something, we'd have left and been ok with it. We even sat there talking to the owner. STILL NOTHING SAID! However nothing was said until we went outside and friend and boyfriend had gone back in to reorder and they were told that children couldn't be in the establishment as they treat it like a regular bar, even though no alcoholic beverages are sold there. They were also told by the server that she didn't want to embarrass us by telling us we couldn't be there with my son. Also she said that people come there to get away from their kids, well this is a sad fact as they are only young once and they probably should enjoy them while they are still young. Just my opinion. I've worked retail and have been an actual bartender, and when people are bringing things or people in that are not allowed, you tell them up front and give them the option to leave. I feel the way this was taken care of was very unprofessional and probably will never return to this establishment due to the fact the server couldn't even have told me, the mother and the driver, as I have left and respected the fact that they were upfront with us. Prior to this experience, I'd have given them 4 stars, only because it is fairly expensive, 3 drinks and a Coke $32 and the fact they allow people to steal the chairs from the other tables outside and even though the table is empty, there are no chairs to go with it. THIS IS NOT A CHILD FRIENDLY PLACE, so do not bring your child with you, being a single mother I don't have much of a choice but to bring him. read more
