“ We are kava bar owners from Pennsylvania and did quite the kava crawl over the last 3 days. We saw a lot of cool places but Manna Tea was the only one I felt like I absolutely must leave a review. Welcoming environment, huge selection of drinks and herbs, outside area was A plus and Betty is an ICON. Exactly what we look for and try to do in our own bar, we felt right at home at Manna Tea and wish we could have we could have spent more time there! Can’t wait to come back - BULA! ”
“ Very cool and hip place!! A truly hidden gem of Sarasota! Staff is super friendly and welcoming and they have special deals/events going on almost everyday of the week. We went to open mic night on Wednesday and there was a good turnout ”

“ Had a great time. Mars is a fantastic kavatender, incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful person to have a great kava experience with. It's a massive space with games, pool table, and ping pong table. Wonderful food (I recommend the Mongolian Ribs). If you are a tea veteran I'd recommend some of the Mana Soda's whatever the monthly special is, if you're a noobie try one of the specials (I love the apple Pie personally). ”
“ The kava bar tenders are all such sweet and kind people. The environment is relaxed with a large indoor AC room with plenty of games. Outside is cozy with lots of spots to sit. Look out for some of the local feline friends that like to visit it the evening. ”
“ Great place for Kratom and kava. They’re known for the kava! I enjoy spending time here outside with my puppy. Owners are awesome individuals, and if you don’t know them well you might not get their sense of humor but it’s prettttty dang funny so you should get to know them! ”
“ Amazing experience great drinks and live entertainment with super friendly service. Come try it out on Friday and have a live DJ and fire dancing story for your friends!! I've been coming here every Friday for a while now. Manna Tea & Kava Bar is a super friendly and welcoming sober bar. I like to go on Fridays because there is this awesome fire flow event they always host. The drinks are always handmade fresh right in front of you there are small cool snacks and sweets. They have the best live music and entertainment that you'd have to pay for anywhere else. It's a nice clean friendly welcoming environment.
