    Stopped by here in between classes and I'm glad to have found it! I ordered a latte and it was delicious. Perfect ratio of bitter coffee and milk. Also glad there's a kava place near the UCF area now ! Will definitely have to return and try it. The music here is also great if you like EDM. And for reference, it opens at 10! Apple Maps said it was open at when I came at 945 so I had to wait lol. Overall a cozy place to try in the area!

    The vibe of this Kava shop is so relaxing and very trendy. It's also very clean including the bathroom. The barista was super nice and explained everything which I truly appreciated because it was the first time I experienced Kava. She was wonderful at explaining it and the different effects. There's plenty of games and sitting areas to chat and get to know whoever you are with or hang with friends. They have a weekly calendar of events and the drinks were very refreshing and tasty. The Strawberry drink reminded me of a light strawberry milk. The KO punch was amazing and full of fun flavors, and same goes for the Hibiscus. Definitely will be back to try more. Wish they had drink flights just to experience more. Also love that they also have happy hour. Only feedback is they need to change their hours in Apple Maps. It said they opened at 9am and they didn't open until 10am.

    Paige was super sweet, and Avery helped me pick a drink that was the right amount of strength and a great flavor. Yummy drinks and cool vibes!

    Kates beautiful coffee art!

    Muddy Root is the best Kratom and Kava bar ever! They have so many board games, comfy seating, and AMAZING kavatenders! Paige, Kate, Clairia, and Avery have become such amazing friends to me and my boyfriend. Paige hosts the BEST trivia night! Clairia makes the most delicious coffee! Avery has my drinks ready in seconds and Kate has turned this place from wonderful to amazing since being manager (also her coffee art is beautiful)! Definitely come by and check this place out! Even if you don't drink kratom and kava (or don't know what it is) they will give you a effective run down of all of their products and yummy drinks! They have so many interactive nights such as trivia, open mic night, movie night, and AYCD kava night! Hope to see you there soon!

    Avery, the best Barista!

    The staff was very friendly and the vibe was good but I didn't care for the taste of kava nor the way it made me feel.

    Kava is good. Service is good. Vibes are good. Iced matcha is heavenly. What else could you ask for? Nothing. Please come here.

    I know people love the drinks at Lineage, but I don't think their food gets talked about nearly…read moreenough. It always hits, so naturally I had to come out and try their summer specials! I was really excited for the guava matcha. While I love their matcha, I was a little underwhelmed by how little guava flavor came through. You can see the tiny layer of guava in the picture, and I would have loved a bit more of it in the drink. I am willing to give it another shot with extra guava! The carrot cake croissant was incredible! I also tried the jalapeño goat cheese scone and was pleasantly surprised by the level of spice. I could eat that every day! And of course, service is always great. The space itself is one of my favorite parts of Lineage. It is bright, airy from all the natural light making it such a great place to hang out!

    I've read many great things about this place so I went in with a pretty high bar. I ordered my…read morego-to which is a hot mocha. It was pretty terrible with zero sweetness and pretty small... like Napoleon. I also got a pastry in the form of a chocolate croissant, and the croissant part was one of the best with a super crispy crunchy exterior, but there could have been more of the chocolate filling. It was more than some others I've had, but still not enough. Is there ever enough filling though? It's not convenient for me, so I doubt I'll be back to give it another try. I was expecting some toasty and roasty coffee. Plenty of other coffee places popping up.

Lots of seating here and most days you'll probably find it full of college students as it's just down the street from UCF. I tried a barista special coffee and it was decent. A lot of their specialty drinks are super sweet unless you ask for otherwise. I do like the assortment of pastries and goodies they have here. There's also a drive thru which can be a convenient option. Plenty of seating in here to be able to sit and stay for awhile.

I believe I got him an iced coffee with oat milk and butterscotch flavoring and a double shot of espresso; my coffee was only $5.25!! Normally if I got that same order at Starbucks it would've been like 10 bucks. Before he has a sip of his coffee, I will actually be tasting it because I've never had Foxtail coffee before. I really like the spot in particular they have a drive-through so if I'm in my car or making errands, I can just do the drive-through. The person doing the drive-through and making the coffee is very quick. I've only been waiting about 3 to 5 minutes so far. Just took a sip of my friends coffee that I got him and it tastes amazing. I will definitely be stopping at Foxtail more often. !!
