Really cool place to relax and have a drink very friendly staff in all around good vibe

Stuart Root has the best kava tenders, and the best people, but they lose 2 stars because it is so hot in the bar. All of the regulars keep telling the upper management about the problem, but it feels like they dont take it seriously. The problem will only get worse during the summer. It's really unfortunate. Update.. 1 star. The people who are in charge refuse to fix this issue. They think putting black out curtains is a solution while it's 80 degrees in the bar sometimes. This is getting old guys.. take this issue serious and fix it, and I will happily give you 5 stars read more

This is our second kava experience, and it was definitely different from our first! First off, the vibes were wonderful in there. People were sitting at the bar, laughing/joking, working on their computers, and talking about music. It seems like this place has a great regular crowd--I was happy to observe and be apart of the environment. Jenny was our kava queen (bartender?) and was such a joy! Super knowledgeable and kind. She's a good little hooper too! It had been a while since we had kava but I feel like this time around was better for sure. Kava is definitely a bitter drink but there are ways to make it better. (In the photo it shows the starter kava with an orange slice.) We also got little s'mores kava shots which were super yummy! Only a little tail end of the bitterness but not much at all. I ordered the kava mix that has apple juice in it (I forgot the name, I apologize) which was pretty great too. At the end, make sure to throw a little water on the bottom to get the rest of the sediment/good stuff! Overall this was a cool experience. I definitely felt more relaxed and the corners of my mouth were numbed/tingly. Make sure you hydrate and don't be shy to ask what's what about kava. Enjoy! read more

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere and reasonable Shell prices. The place reminds me of an Amsterdam coffee shop. The crowd is good, the servers are nice, and the owners are not extremists. A very good alternative to the right wing Kavasutra in Port St. Lucie. read more

It was a great place, But the past few months it's been awful, all because the management won't fix the ac, it's not fun to hangout when you sweat while sitting down. also I've seen people pour water on themselves and go to the cars for a few minutes just to cool down. I can't believe that they are ok with a broken ac system in Florida. read more

Heard about this place from someone at my gym so decided to take a first date there last night. Neither of us had been here so we needed a little education. Nick was SUPER friendly, patient, knowledgeable and checked in on us regularly. Gonna be honest I don't recall the name of the Kava drinks we ordered but mine was to promote a feeling of euphoria and hers was to help with relaxation and sleep. She texted me this morning saying she hasn't had such a great night sleep in a very long time. We could definitely feel some positive effects about 10 mins in... subtle and not overwhelming at all. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and somewhat zen. Undoubtedly a fun experience which I would highly recommend. Now, before I wrap this up let me prepare you for what to expect- the beverage tastes kind of horrendous...just saying, and Nick gave us a heads up and let us know it was more about the positive effects it brings. In addition, you kind of slurp it out of a bowl- check out my pic. If you're thinking...oh heck no- I ain't doing that, you most likely are a bit uptight and probably need to loosen up. In that case- this is probably the perfect place for you. Life is stressful enough- pull up a chair at the 'bar' and relax with a Kava drink. Our experience mirrored the vision that the owner communicated in his overview of the business- great job! By the way- one last thing, the gentleman working with Nick behind the bar came over to say hello and seemed just as nice and friendly! read more

Island Root Stuart Kava Bar - How our Kava drinks were served- it's best to drink it quick vs sipping -due to the taste. Different, huh? - Lounges Near Me - Stuart, Florida

The guy behind the bar wasn't very attentive. Practically had to wave him down with smoke signals to get a drink and wave him down again to get another. I was especially turned off, when he kept playing with his messy hair, by taking off his hat and putting it back on. Then, running his fingers threw his puffy hair and never washing his hands. I work in the food industry and it's kind of gross to be touching your hair and serving drinks. After I left I felt sort of sick. Other then that- cool place! read more

Very friendly staff... they were eager to teach about their products however I must say it is an acquired taste.. overall a great place to hang out and chillax. read more

From the setting to the staff to the Kava and Kratom, this place is top notch. All of the Kava tenders are knowledgeable and upbeat. Lots of good vibes and bass beats coming from the sound system. They have video games on Monday night, trivia on Tuesday, and ladies night on Wednesday. You really couldn't ask for anything more out of a Kava Bar. read more

I have been to this location as well as the one in Melbourne/Palm Bay Area. Both great environments. Knowledgeable staff. Drinks are very natural and relaxing. The kava is great for anxiety; calms you. The Maeng Da has qualities that will help with energy and pain relief. Very holistic approach. Definitely try them out as well as these locations. read more

I've drank better tasting kava out of a pothole. I know kava can be rough, but their service is even worse. Go to KavaSutra. Better service, better everything when the bar is this low. read more

Great atmosphere, awesome people. It's like a big family . Best kava I've had yet. The staff is very informative and friendly, the kava is always smooth. I love how they always add new drinks to the menu. read more

Very nice spot. Staff was friendly and very informative for our first time trying Kava. Definitely recommend.

Loved the vibe and learning all about the health benefits of kava. Enjoyed the experience and the bartender was super knowledgeable. Would definitely come back! read more

We stopped by and checked it out. Kava creates a nice relaxing feeling. It is very mild and does not make you inebriated. This place was very nice inside. They serve Kava, Kratom teas and herbal teas. Folks were hanging out at the bar and stopping in to get things to go as well. read more

This place is very cool. I had a coffee and my wife enjoyed the kava. The staff is friendly.

I love this place! The atmosphere is so calm and perfect for distressing-- which is exactly what I hope for when going for kava/kratom. Michael is especially great, and is so good at explaining everything to any new comers we may bring with us!! He always remembers us too and it makes us feel like we're apart of something larger, a great community of friends. I'm always happy to be able to come here and enjoy my kratom and talk with everyone!! read more

Really great atmosphere, helpful staff. I've been a few times in the last few weeks. Highly recommended for those with anxiety

Great Kava. Friendly staff. Amazing service. Chill environment. This is the place to be. Truly a hidden gem.

This was my first time trying kava and while an acquired taste I was amazed at the calming effects and loved the happy mood boosting effects as well. The kava "bartender" Mike was incredible--very knowledgeable and excited about dropping kava knowledge. Loved this place and will come back when I am in Stuart again. read more

The custom atmosphere and amazing staff will have you relaxed and ready to enjoy yourself. Stuart's latest late night addition and daytime cool down spot is simply amazing! read more
