The vibe is okey, but the staff was really rude. They were talking bad about the people that walk in and don’t order and take super long to take your order and, Then one of their friends walked in and walked right up and they took their order right away.I just left after that. Not a good place for lunch

The owner is chill but I don’t always see him when I come in unfortunately. Haven’t been back since my last experience. I called to put an order over the phone since I was in a rush to an appointment and I wanted to be able to just pick up my order and pay once I got there, The person on the phone had told me that they don’t really do anything like that and every kava bar that I go to does it so it was weird. Also, I have ordered drinks over the phone at this place multiple times and it’s never been an issue. When I came in to pick up my order, had to wait some time as they didn’t notice me and when they did the servers were plain and rude. Haven’t been back since and won’t be coming back because I fear of that type of interaction. It’s hard for people who aren’t already social as is.

I tried open mic night, they had so long of sets starting later in the day that performance times were quite too long, it felt like karaoke night in someone else’s grandmas basement.

I really wanted to like this place. The vibe is so cute, but the staff was really rude. We sat waiting to order, tried to get an employees attention several times, but they were giggling with each other and ignored us for about 15 minutes.Then one of their friends walked in and walked right up and they took their order right away.We just left after that. Such a shame, we were excited to try it.

My date and I have never tried kava or kratom before and the staff was extremely supportive and knowledgeable about guiding us through our first time. I will definitely be visiting again

This place surprised me! The owner was super informative and I got to try some new delicious drinks. A great place to relax.

Favors gossip and elitism more than growthBartenders can be rude and often play obnoxious music rather than trying to keep a nice vibe goingYou never know what kind of music they're gonna blast in your earsThe only thing good about noveltea is the customers; this place is quite a mess management-wiseThey have a decent thing going, if only they would focus on growth and community rather than drama, fear and trying to defend themselvesThe place has an "ego" where most kava bars I've been to do not, at all.Disappointing
AJ is phenomenal. Always remembers a face and makes you feel right at home!

This place was very odd and uncomfortable to walk into. Felt that only people getting service were those who were friends of the staff. We went a couple hours before closing and there was a kid running around barefoot yelling and no one said a thing. It felt more like a frat house than a place of business. It did not seem like an actual bar or hangout place.

Always a vibe if you’re looking for kava and kratom! Sunday nights are great with AJ and there’s a smash tourney you can sign up for! If you haven’t checked it out you definitely should. Everything is priced well and pretty tasty compared to other kava bars in the area! Highly recommend the mitra cans :)
