My only wish is that the drinks were a bit stronger and more affordable. I know Williamsburg has its own vibe, but there are kava bars in Bushwick that offer much stronger drinks, whether kava or kratom, at lower prices.

The bartender informed me that they had accidentally used a banned powder in my drink, yet they still had the nerve to charge me for it. Additionally, they rudely questioned my friend's service dog and asked her to leave, which is unacceptable and illegal. This was truly the worst experience I've ever had.

My first visit to this spot in Williamsburg, and am immediately ignored by the bartender, no eye contact, no greeting. That's fine, I'm still just waiting for them to be done so I can order. I wait patiently. And even though some dude just walked in, bartender proceeds to ignore me and ask if she can help the dude.When I waved my hand and said hello she gave me an attitude as though I'm wrong for speaking up that I was there first. So whatever, I order then go towards another side of the cafe so I can wait. I lean on a table which I assumed was bolted. It was not. It moved slightly and the 1 person sitting at the table gave me a similar look of disgust and attitude. Help me understand how a whole cafe full of people on kava and kratom are so sad and pressed.Honestly, I'm not surprised by this because *ahem* williamsburg, but I have to speak up because black people WILL come in to your establishment, and I want to forewarn them that it is not the friendliest environment.oooooooooooof never returning here again for sure. And encourage others to visit Brooklyn Kava, Misfit Kava, or Lakou Cafe in Crown Heights.peace

I've met a lot of amazing people there over the past two years! It's also a great place to get some work done.
