Island Kava Patchogue — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

I changed my name for fear of retaliation as I know someone who is being harassed for a negative review. They keep deleting this review so I will make sure it stays up here. If they keep deleting it I will write a yelp review and make a website about this. I went here asking about health benefits of Kratom. I disclosed that I was newly sober and was so scared to take a mood or ming altering substance because I have relapsed many times and this is the first time I have been able to be sober for more than a month. I bought some to take home as I was told how it was harmless and non addictive and would be a good thing for my mental health and sobriety. I was told by a man at the bar, I believe Johnny or John was his name, and he said lots of people in the sober community take Kratom and say is very euphoric. I did my own research when I got home and thank goodness I did. I learned that it was HIGHLY ADDICTIVE and many young people are getting hooked. I found a network of people working to get sober from Kratom who were experiencing detoxes close to that of heroin. I felt so betrayed and I believe they saw me as a dollar sign and didnt care about my life or sobriety. It was like when doctors were prescribing oxycontin just to make more money, ignoring the fact they were causing an epidemic. This was no different. For your sake and the sake of your loved ones, please stay away. There were also adults taking the drug in the bar with their children which made me...

Island Kava is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable social experience. The atmosphere is incredible - it's friendly, social, and low-key all at the same time. The vibe here is great and the staff truly treats everyone like family.

The kavatenders are all a pleasure to sit with and talk to, whether you're having a good or bad day. They are knowledgeable and passionate about the kava they serve and are always happy to help you find the perfect kava for your taste.

In short, Island Kava is a top-notch kava bar that should not be missed. The great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious kava make it the perfect place to relax, unwind and make new friends. I go there almost every day, and it never disappoints me! Give it a try, you...

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Island Kava. I dealt with severe social anxiety and my friend had snagged me out of my house and bought me here. Well, let me tell you. I felt so welcomed! I first met Jon and Jenn. I had no idea what kava was. I just knew from my friend,that somehow it would help me. Jon explained everything to me regarding kava and where it comes from and even told me about ceremonies. Jen made sure to let me know not to drink too much for my first time and let my body and my tell me. Well I’m proud to say that since that first meeting, I have been coming at least once a week since December. I feel like I have an extended kava family. Between the kavatenders and the patrons this is a second home. Thank you to the staff at island kava for welcoming to social anxiety girl in...
