    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!

    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 went in the early morning and it wasn't busy so I was able to order right away. I ordered the bee…read morebite, they warmed it up for me and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the matcha with lavender, if you are on the sweet side of things, I recommend asking for it be sweeten. The place is a great space to relax, study, or hang out. The inside design of the space is beautiful and the black and white flower paintings on the walls adds a great touch to the space. The server was kind and asked after if my items were up to standard, and everything tasted great to me. *Not pictured I ordered one baklava from the bakery there and the phone did not eat first, it was great and bite sized and I'll try to get a pic next time. I plan to come back to try new items but overall great experience.

    A friend suggested i stopped here for an outstanding cup of coffee. All i had ever seen about…read moreTurkish coffee was online so i had no idea what to expect. First as soon as you go through the door you can tell this is a place that cares about your experience. Brightly lit and beautifully decorated, everyone that was there seemed very relaxed as if they had checked their stress at the door, event though some seemed to be working. After being thoroughly tempted by the large selection of treats, my wife locked in on her pistachio selections which she loved. The cheesecake was sweet and creamy and the late was just the right amount of sweet with a silky texture. I asked for the Turkish experience, i may have sounded a bit ignorant, but they kindly humored me. As you can tell by the pictures I fell in love with the presentation, the tray, the cup the details all of it. Then came the tasting. The warm bitterness of the hits first with the warm, perfect for a black coffee lover like me, then as you breathe out you feel the aromatic flavor of the cardamom. It may take a couple of sips to appreciate it but it is fantastic. The fruit tart had a very pleasing texture, crunchy crust and moist creamy tart top. great compliment to the coffee. It is a unique experience that we will definitely revisit.

    We had such a great experience at Ice & Bites Café! Three things really stood out right away…read more First, the ice cream flavors were amazing. You can tell the quality is there -- super flavorful, creamy, and not overly artificial tasting. Every bite was rich and satisfying, and honestly I couldn't even wait to take a proper picture before digging in. Second, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They clearly love what they do. They took their time recommending flavors, let us try different samples, and made the whole experience feel fun instead of rushed. That level of friendliness really makes a place memorable. And lastly, I LOVED that they had games available to play. Such a cute and thoughtful touch! It made the visit feel more like a cozy hangout than just a quick dessert stop. Sitting there, playing games, and enjoying good ice cream was such a vibe. Overall, such a sweet little spot with great energy, great service, and delicious ice cream. Definitely a place I'd come back to again and again.

    Went here again for dessert after a nice dinner at Lazy Moon. I had to do the taro ice cream again,…read morebut this time medium size (a little under 7 dollars). I chose not to have any toppings. My colleagues and I sat in a table while I waited for my ice cream. It came a couple minutes later, and it was just as good as the last time I came. So sweet and creamy. It tasted natural and homemade, with the amazing taro flavor. There were also 3 nice scoops of the ice cream, so I insisted my colleagues to take a bite as well. It was sinfully good! The service was still good and the atmosphere looked kid friendly with board games available. I also saw a board where customers could write messages, but didn't see a marker available. I still really enjoy the ice cream at Ice & Bites, and really need to try different flavors and their teas as well. This was an amazing end to a great dinner with my awesome colleagues. Overall: A
