Bula Kavananda Kava Bar and Coffeehouse resides in Tampa’s historic Seminole Heights neighborhood. Located in a classic 1920’s Florida Bungalow, Kavananda presents an inviting atmosphere of communal warmth, intellectual exploration, and the celebration of life. Inspired by the model of the traditional 18th century Parisian-style salons, Kavananda presents an atmosphere of joyful conversation and meaningful relationship. We aim to cultivate an atmosphere where guests may find new opportunities for social engagement, learning, creative refinement, and self-discovery through meaningful interactions, as well as the development of personal relationships with powerful plant-allies. We serve a diverse clientele in an atmosphere of acceptance and inclusivity, offering a positive community space for art and music, a sober nightlife, and somewhere to hang out. Bula specializes in plant-based products, such as kava, botanical teas, kombucha, and coffee.
Kava is a root from the South Pacific islands that has been used ceremonially for centuries Our kava comes from the islands of Vanuatu where it is believed kava originated, as well as from Hawaii. Kava is said to relieve stress and anxiety, provide relaxation, and increase sociability.
Bula emphasizes community and we strive to support local businesses whenever possible. We serve coffee from Zeal Coffee Roasters, located in Lutz, FL. We also offer a variety of botanical teas sourced to ensure the highest quality and expertly brewed for purity and potency. We also host occasional events such as guest speakers, live music and performances, special events, and more. Please check out our Facebook Page for our schedule of events.
