This was my first kava and kratom experience. We got the Jedi Mind trick which you start with a kava drink, then kratom, and end with kava. I don't think you get the full experience of either with the Jedi mind trick because you're trying both in one sitting. I did take a Cheech & Chong to go to drink the following day. I got to truly experience the effects of the kratom. Euphoria. I just felt like my was exponentially greater and was all good vibes. For the kava, I don't enjoy the taste and texture, very...lol earthy. I look forward to visiting this spot on my next visit to Miami. read more

My culinary druthers certainly lean toward cows on a plate or bun, with chimichurri, bbq or marinara. However, It's always a pleasure to join with friends and expand my dietary horizons. Such was the case tonight with Angelo & Jojo's get together at Roots Miami. At the very least, I can honestly say I'll come back here for dessert and fries! Their guava and apple empanada / pastelito is truly one of the best I've tasted; love the unique mix of flavors. The restaurant's hosts carried with great descriptions of the ingredients and dishes, as well as loungey chill remix of 90s & early 2000's HipHop classics. They also hooked us up with lemonade and water, especially since in my case I didn't like the Kava. (Thank goodness for the pineapple slices served as chasers.) As far as the food,we had a full course meal starting with their vegan "beef" empanada. I included the menu in the photos, but as far as taste & consistency this was the one with the closest taste to real beef. I believe it's made with a base of black beans & corn. Next up was their "chicken" nugget. Basically encrusted with corn flakes, to me it had the taste & consistency of corn bread. The sweet & spicy sauce (with the spicy after kick) was a bonus and brought my taste buds pleasant memories of the bbq sauce from the restaurant with a bearded dude logo (name begins with an F). Their thick cut fries are delicious; I'd come pick up an order to eat with my usual "burger". Roots' lentil & quinoa based substitute was actually pretty decent, considering both of the ingredients are in my usual vegetarian stable. The burger did taste a little saltier than I was expecting though. Next up was their spicy mac and cheese (hot even sans jalapeno) with the bbq sauce they mixed in. We closed the night with a apple & guava pastry. It tasted right up there with the classic cuban dessert and I'd definitely come back for the dessert. It was definitely a cool foodie experience and can definitely stop in next time I'm feeling adventurous. They also have cool art in the restaurant, and have different music & standup performances on various evenings. read more

Great place! Awesome vibe great service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend trying this place.

Great product, great people, and good vibes all around. Would def recommend if you are on the go or want to hang out

Oh House of Roots, why must you be so great! No really, this place is really wonderful. This Kava lounge is not only a friendly place to stop by, but everyone there makes you feel like family. They have a pretty awesome option for drinks that include kava (of course)/kratom options and coffee and teas you can have solo or mix it. The first time I went to the lounge I tried out the Jedi mind trick (I believe is what it is called). It is definitely a solid intro. The lounge offers open mic nights, cypher nights, band performances, topic talks, and even kundalini yoga on Sundays! Sooooo basically there is a little bit for everyone. I've been to other kava lounges and this one by far is my favorite. Ohhh before I forget, the cookies.....yummmm...a good sweet snack to enjoy. If you require more than some yummy cookies, feel free to yelp24 ;) or bring in whatever you crave. So my friends, want to hang? I'll see you there! read more

I've been a customer for a while. I always feel welcome here. The atmosphere is really chill. You can bring a laptop here and get some work done or just came and hang out. They have 2 TVs so if you wanna catch something, they can put it on for you. The drinks are tasty and I love that they have happy hour specials. I love the Cheech & Chong with some agava added. The staff is really nice too! read more

Good kava and tea and good service!! Very friendly too !!! House Kava Definitely recommend !! read more

I'm not going to sugar-coated for you: Plain and simple, Kava taste disgusting. It's the truth. I have never tried Ayahuasca ( the southamerican beverage that make you throw up, hallucinate and see God), but the flavor and consequent effects of drinking kava made me think that I was about to see baby Jesus. OMG! For those of you who don't know, kava is a drink made with Kratom- a plant from the coffee family that is consumed for mood enhancement, stimulation, anxiety relief and recreational use.... in other words, will give you a "holistic" high. Indeed. This adventure started by asking one of the patrons which kava drink he'll recommend. His response was fast and furious: "Lady, if you want to feel something you need to order (not sure about the name) Dirty House($15)". (Definitely not the drink to get to a newbie). And I felt things. I did. First, my lips started to tingle (that was kind of funny). I was with a party of 4, and suddenly all the chitchatting started to sound like blah, blah blah, blah, blahblabla, blahblahblah.... seriously. I was like WTF! And then the itching started. My legs, arms and neck... cortisone, anyone? I'm laughing now just remembering. Roots offered a large selection of vegan items, however, not everything is vegan. There cookies are not. So, make sure you ask. We ordered several dishes to try and they were okay, nothing memorable. Just comfort vegan food. I always try things once. Let me scratch out kava from my bucket list. read more

Roots Miami Kava & Eatery Believe it or not, I actually enjoy kava. I wouldn't go so far as to say I like the taste. But I can always get behind some ritual. The cups and the bulas and the grimaces are all part of the fun. One just has to get past the muddy water taste. So, when an event popped up at Roots Miami Kava & Eatery, I was keen on getting there. Top it off with vegan food and I was ticket in hand. The menu was a prefixed, tasting style. We got to sample Chicken Tenders, Mac and Cheese, Beef Empanadas, Sliders, and a sweet ice-cream and Guava dessert! We started everything off with a bowl of kava and an opening bula. After that were lead through different tastes all along the vegan spectrum. The standouts for me where the Beef and Bean Empanadas and the Angry Mac and Cheese. The empanadas were filled with Atlas meat crumbles and fried crispy, hot and delicious. The mac and cheese was filled with vegan cheese that actually melted and topped with jalapenos that gave it it's angry moniker. And it did have some kick. Roots Miami Kava & Eatery has a great space. It's large and has distinct areas to populate. You can sit at the bar and get some juice or kombucha or kava. Or grab a table and get some food. They also have an outdoor area with tables you can hang at. The establishment is alcohol-free and totally vegan. They do things such as food events and live music and video games on a regular basis. It's worth checking out. Often. BULA! read more

Get back to your roots by visiting Roots Kava Lounge. This place has a wonderful vegan menu with amazing mac & cheese options. I tried the half tea and half lemonade better known as Cheech & Chong with a flatbread. The C&C really gave me a boost of energy and the flatbread was very tasty. I then ordered a double shot of kava juice and let me preface this by highly advising you to have water on standby since kava juice does dehydrate the body if not balanced with water. But not to worry because at the edge of the bar is a large water dispensary for you to remain hydrated. The staff and owners are very friendly and the decor has great wall murals of nature. They have fun event nights featuring open mics and other artistic performances. I definitely plan to return again soon. Here's to Roots Kava Lounge....BULA! read more

I'm a carnivore but I also love my veggies, especially when they are disguised to look or taste like real meat. Roots Miami Kava did justice with their meatless creations at the Spring Roots event collab with @TryThisMiami. I'm now a believer! Amen! This dining experience featured a prix fixe menu so guests could sample the different vegan concoctions offered by Roots. We started with a toast of some kava drink. Honestly, it was a little muddy for my taste but then again, this was my first time tasting kava. The first item on the menu was the Chicken Tenders. I couldn't even tell the difference. It was super crunchy too. Next was the Beef and Bean Empanada. Freshly baked, flaky and piping hot. The third one was the Angry Mac. This was my favorite. It was simply superb. The pasta was al dente and a good amount of gooey cheese. It was super tasty that I got another bowl to take home :) The fourth one was House Slider with Fries. Another favorite of the night. Fries were perfectly crisp and the slider was scrumptious. Last of course was the dessert but I was surprisingly so full so I skipped it and gave it to a friend. I'm sure it was also delicious because everything before that was just that. This prix fixe menu was only $31 and it was more than enough. I'm glad that I was able to experience this event. Roots Miami Kava is on 2nd Ave but going opposite of Wynwood so it's not on the busy strip. I'm telling you, folks, it's worth the detour. Besides the tasty vegan food and variety of kava drinks, they also have live performances or open mic on some nights. I will definitely come back so I can educate myself more on kava plus get an Angry Mac of course :) read more

Very very stale empanadas. Tastes like it has been in the case for days. I would avoid this place. Miami has so many amazing options, this isn't worth the try. read more

Looking to do something out of the norm, something that wouldn't be on the normal spot to hit you would in miami to grab a drink or hangout? This is that spot you have been thinking about and didn't even know it. I have had a Kava beverage before but my friend hadn't so we stopped in last night. It was the perfect time to go. They were having "Hemptopia" at Awa Kava Lounge. It definitely infiltrated the ambiance of the place. As you walked up and into the place the vibe was obviously chill with dozens of people hanging out on the front lawn and porch. I say this as Awa Kava is a business inside a ordinarily old house with porch and backyard. Speaking of which, the backyard was hopping, at least it was last night, as rap, island and other music acts were filling the night with sound. The bar/kitchen area was where to get a drink. It was full of first timers because of the festival. As Awa Lounge isn't in the nicest part of midtown there were a few suburbanites looking and sensing a little out of place. I tried to help a few of the ones that probably ended up here because of the article in the Miami times promoting the festival. We got the shots, 2 for 6 dollars. They are like a regular Kava drink, but served in a shot glass and it extra strong. A guava like one and a cream chocolate type. Both were equally tasty we thought. "You can barely taste the dirt" she said. Which is of course more or less what Kava is. If you google it though and see the benefits, you just might get hooked. I know we will be back! read more

BEST KAVA BAR IN MIAMI!!!! i've had the best time and the people are so nice and take the time to explain. Love this place

Tucked away in an unassuming spot. Good kava would definitely come back next time we're in Miami

We found this kava bar while we were in Miami. We were meant to go to a cat convention but unfortunately missed it so we just decided to see what was in the area. It's definitely hard to park here since there isn't a designated parking area since the place is an actual home. As soon as we found parking and entered this place, I fell in love. It felt so homely and all of the people speak to you as if they've known you for years. There's also a regular that comes here that cooks vegan food and hands them out for free. I definitely recommend arriving when it's not too late as I don't particularly like the atmosphere the later it gets. There were a lot of people and there was just something off which is what made us leave ultimately. However, I love their Kratum. It's delicious. They have the red Vietnam, green Vietnam and white Vietnam for you to take home. My boyfriend and I s favorite is the red Vietnam as it's able to relax us so much after a long day at work. The White Vietnam is meant to wake you up. There was a regular that I was speaking with there and he said that he uses the white Kratum for his workouts. I may try that but I don't feel as if it's necessary. They also have this specialty drink which is basically Kratum and Kava mixed together. It doesn't look particularly pleasant but I've been wanting to try it since everyone there seems to love it. This place is perfect for a date or even a group of friends before heading off to Wynwood as the atmosphere is very personable and their decorations are one of a kind. read more

great vibe! come check it out they won't disappoint. great variety of drinks and a very chill atmoshpere

In my humble opinion, the BEST kava/kratom joint in south Florida. Been supporting it since house of roots. Come try it for yourself. (The vegan eats is awesome also). read more

I wasn't warned that my drink which turned out to be kratom is an actual drug. i thought it was just a green drink. after i drank it and went to another place where i had a small sip of an alcoholic drink i nearly fainted, couldn't stand up , and went to the emergency room because I didnt know what was happening to me. I was totally unable to stand up for about 4 hours. This restaurant should warn people that order these drinks what they are ingesting is not a normal drink. read more

Amazing experience! The Kava is incredible, some of the best I've had in Miami. The green Mr T is also amazing! Definitely check it out.

Chill place to hang with friends. Low key and relaxing.. Great drinks and friendly staff

The ambiance needs work bu the food is A1. The place has potential and that chef they have can bring me back again and again but it will only be for takeout. That's all I have, oh yeah and get the vegan cheesecake! read more

This business is an actual house so it's extremely casual and pretty intimate. They have tables out front, some with chess to enjoy and every Saturday there's a guy here that sells homemade vegan foods and desserts that are awesome. Inside is a great environment with pieces of art scattered around and the giant menu in chalk on a wall behind the U bar that's in the center of the home. Stools and benches line the bar and their is one restroom so usually a line to use it. There's a room with a sofa and table full of games to play but it's usually busy with a group when I come. I love the place but it's pretty pricy (only place I have seen with fulll kava drinks though, not just shots), the bathroom line is silly and worst part is that I've never gotten to go to the back where it's quieter and more intimate because they charge 5 dollars to go back there. Even have a sign on the door. read more

Stopped in at Roots' new location last week to check out my friends event that showcased the new vegan restaurant situated inside. I'll be honest, I have no clue about Kava. I've done it a few times, but I don't personally feel anything and while it may just me, I figured I'll speak more about the ambience and food since that's what I tried more and more of. I really liked the old location. It was cute and homey and charming and while I do understand the need for space and growth, the new location is still working on getting that cozy feel the other location was oozing. There are so many events here, which is really cool. There is plenty of seating, lots of tables and cozy couches. Also, the dj they had on the night I came in, was fantastic. It was a great vibe. The food there overall is great! I am not vegan, nor am I gluten, soy, etc etc free but I think it's really cool that the menu has something for everyone if you had food sensitivities. We started with the beef and been empanada, it was delicious! You did not miss that meat at all. It was flavorful, crunchy, and the aioli that was served with it was so good I would bathe in it. After that I tried the cashew butter chicken tenders. These were delicious in terms of flavor but lacked the chicken texture which put me off a bit. I think it the pieces served were smaller and more breaded it wouldn't be as noticeable. Third course was the black bean burger slider. Again, delicious! I really loved the seasoning. But the texture of the burger was very soft and the sandwich fell apart as I was eating it. The fries were absolutely amazing, they were hand cut and perfectly fried. Afterwards we tried the vegan mac and cheese. This was delicious as well. You don't miss the actual cheese at all. It's served with breading and some sort of meat substitute that tasted like pulled pork to me. Again, fantastic. Lastly for dessert they brought out the dessert empanadas. It was an apple empanada with a caramel type of sauce and vegan ice cream. This too, was delicious. The vegan ice cream was great. Better than I expected. Overall I came away thinking there is a lot of carbs in vegan food and that Roots puts in a lot of love and heart in this new venture. You can tell the food comes from the heart. There is a lot of though in what is served and it's great to see something like this popping up in our wonderful city. I saw they have an outside area and next time that's where I'll be parked! Overall a lovely time. read more

I was invited to this event by a friend. Although I'm not a vegetarian by nature let me just say the food was AMAZING.... we were able to have an assortment of different food and drinks including sliders, fries, kava, and guava empanadas....I can't stop dreaming about the beef and bean empanadas....it tasted like a real beef taco!!! Incredible. I'll be honest, the kava and Kratom are not for the faint of heart...the staff was very helpful and had some great suggestions. I tried the house kava with strawberry and banana which was good. A helpful tip is to make sure and eat the pineapple chaser after the kava drink. The peppermint made my lips feel numb which went away after 20 minutes. I wasn't a fan of that part but worth the experience. It was a great event and I could see why roots miami has gained a local following. read more

Such a beautiful place to come and vibe. I first came in for open mic night Wednesday nights and I was hooked with the beautiful atmosphere. So many down to earth creative people, playing music, enjoying each other's company. A real heart centered place to be. The kava and kratom drinks are amazing with beautiful prices especially happy hour 6-8. I recommend this place if you're looking for a break from the stress of life, meeting amazing creative people. Making conscious connections. Artsy, hipster vibes. So grateful to come across this fantastic gem!!!!! :) read more

First and last time coming here. The lady (I'm assuming the owner, not sure) was rude from the moment we walked in. The bartender was okay but they kept forgetting our order. THREE TIMES! Not to mention that the owner herself wasn't wearing a mask but she gripes at my friends and I when we were putting our masks there on that they should've been on before we entered. Understandable, but her tone was so rude and then to see others walk in without masks was messed up because she didn't even tell them to put one on! I'm not sure how this place has such good ratings to be honest. Their food was mediocre and the atmosphere felt almost clique-y, as if they favored their regulars. Such a shame. Never again. read more
