Kava Nirvana

If i could give this place zero stars I would, and not because of the staff. I've been a customer for two years now, and I am disappointed and disgusted. Delaini, Cody, Will, Amy, and Paul are exceptional, great kava tenders and people. They give wonderful service and give it 💯 percent every shift. The owner is the problem: Laura disrespects staff and customers consistently to the point where a lot of my friends have quit working for her or stopped coming to Kava nirvana as customers and chosen to go to other kava bars just to avoid her. The last straw for me was my FOUR year old son eating a meal there and crumbs getting on the floor and Laura dropping a dust pan and a broom in front of him and telling him to clean it up. This was not the first time she handed one of us a broom and dustpan. Anytime I have seen any messes I or my children made I would always ask for a rag or a broom out of politeness, courtesy and consideration towards the kava tenders without being asked, but for the owner to be so incredibly rude to hand her paying customers who spend hundreds of dollars a month in her establishment a broom and dust pan and tell them to clean is another level of disrespect. I told her it was disrespectful and innapropriate and she kicked me out and told me to never come back instead of apologizing for her treatment of me and my children. She has knowingly allowed known predators in the community who have assaulted women and minors in the community to continue to go to her bar for years , endangering other women and minors despite receiving multiple reports and requests to ban these men. When I asked her to please ban one of the men who assaulted my son while a investigation took place she wanted proof (a police report) despite knowing for years he had harmed other women. She has been so incredibly rude and vindictive to staff that many of them have quit due to mental distress , anxiety and how their mental health was suffering due to working with her directly. The friends I have stopped coming there and started going to nearby kava bars, despite the higher prices due to her behavior and how uncomfortable she made them. A good business owner with integrity, character, gratitude and respect for the people who work for her , build /support her business , and who pay her bills with their patronage would never treat customers or workers that way. A good business owner with integrity would be grateful and respectful for everyone who supports and keeps her business thriving so she can continue to make income as a small business. Banning a customer of two years who considered many of the people there family, who spent hundreds of dollars a month in product and brought people there to try the product simply to avoid apologizing for her lack of professionalism, maturity and integrity is disgusting. Please do not support a business that disrespects and discards employees and customers. She does not deserve your money. Support a business who does value and appreciate and respect you as a customer. Even if she apologized for her disgusting behavior I will never set foot in that place or spend another penny to support such a person. It breaks my heart because the community there is truly special and they're wonderful people. Update: regardless of Laura's reply claiming I'm upset because I was banned, I stand by what I said. No other kava bar in the area has as much drama from the owner's like Kava nirvana. This is a business and should be professional and respectful of customers and staff.

Positive vibes and best Kava/Kratom in town.

This place was so great! The patrons and staff were all so nice. They are so dog friendly too my boy was getting so much love. Definitely my favorite kava bar in the Ft. Meyers area.

Kava Nirvana is a great place to hang out with friends and the drinks are great! The Kava is strong and the Teas are great quality Kratom. It's hard to find Kava Bars in the community where you actually feel the effects of the product with NO regrets! Open Mic nights on Wednesdays are always a great time! A new Kava tender by the name of Amy is excellent! Honestly everyone who works here does a great job! If you have not stopped by, please do! This place is a great spot and if you are trying to avoid alcohol - give it a try!

Thank you Kat! I can't wait to come back when I'm in the area! N7/Lizard Juice vibes! Easy going, younger and well socialized crowd. IMMACULATE pool table (free), board games, great layout and decorating and very clean. Kratom and Kava are simple, strong enough, and reasonably priced. Staff and regulars are very welcoming and approachable, easy to strike up conversation here. The layout is great for socializing and moving around. I had a mediocre experience at another kava bar nearby and came in at 11pm anxious, tired, and expecting to be let down. Kat immediately made me feel welcomed and was very attentive. I felt right at home after less than an hour. Great spot to bring a laptop and headphones or to shoot the breeze and smoke a joint out front.
