The Centre Kava & Coffee Exchange — Restaurant in Saint Pete Beach

I don’t know if the place I’m writing about still has the same order, but I wish to clarify some things that my family and I had experienced yesterday when we stopped by the store for what we thought was a regular drink. We did not come under the pretence of ordering spiked drinks, we just simply wanted something to drink while we waited for our bus to go home. Came in and ordered a piña colada slushy from a slushy machine behind the counter (no labels were attached to the machine with details regarding ingredients, flavours, etc.). We paid 10 dollars in cash because their machine was having issues with punching in the order, and were not given a receipt. We were not told nor warned that there was THC in the drink; no medical card nor ID was requested. 30 minutes after we got home, we began to experience extreme dizziness and paranoia, and had to call the hospital to be taken for an IV drip. We spent three hours there and continue to feel unpleasant symptoms today; both of my family members have chronic migraines, so they cannot even take their medication for fear of further negative effects. I really want to discuss this issue with the owner of this place, because this has never happened to my family before. I would like to know why no employees checked in with us about the presence of THC in the drink we had, and I would like this message to serve as a warning for future customers coming in to this...

I recently visited a coffee shop that left a lot to be desired. First off, the service was incredibly slow and disorganized. It took forever for me to get my order, and when I finally did, it was wrong. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, they seemed annoyed and made me feel like it was my fault.

Even worse than the service, though, was the coffee itself. It was absolutely terrible. The beans tasted stale and burnt, and the milk they used in my latte was sour. It was undrinkable, and I ended up throwing it away after only a few sips.

To top it all off, the atmosphere in the coffee shop was unpleasant. The seating was uncomfortable and cramped, and the decor was outdated and unappealing. It was not a pleasant place to spend time in, and I couldn't wait to leave.

Overall, I would not recommend this coffee shop to anyone. The service was slow and rude, the coffee was undrinkable, and the atmosphere was uninviting. Save your money and go...

We showed up around 10pm-ish as an impromptu kava run after visiting the beach. The employee was in the process of closing up, so there wasn't really much of an atmosphere to be seen. HOWEVER. The employee working that night made all the difference. He went out of his way to serve us and was very kind and helpful. Didn't catch his name, but had somewhat long, shaggy blonde hair, and he definitely made the trip worth it. We got a shell of kava, an iced coffee, and a kratom tea. I'd love to come back during daytime hours to really get the full experience. Thank you to whoever that was for being so nice and making our drinks...
