Jacksonville's first kava bar, three neighborhoods, one big living room. Here's our story and the folks who pour it.
Kava & Company was founded by Cianna & Giovanni Bommarito with one simple idea: Jacksonville deserved a place to connect without alcohol. A bar where the drinks lift you up, the couches pull you in, and nobody's watching the clock.
What started as a single spot in Mandarin grew into three neighborhood hangouts, San Marco, Mandarin & Jax Beach, each with its own crew, its own regulars, and the same open-door spirit. Come as you are, stay as long as you like.
No alcohol, ever. Craft kava, kratom & botanical drinks that feel like a night out, minus the morning after.
Every botanical we pour is lab-tested. We know our farmers, our batches & exactly what's in your shell.
Open mics, trivia, yoga, pool tournaments, we're a third place for the neighborhood, not just a bar.
The friendly faces mixing your brews, calling your trivia & remembering your usual.
Full food menu, backyard games & late-night hangs
