If you've ever stepped into Kava Luv you might have had the pleasure of meeting Mak, a dedicated regular who's found community within its warm embrace.  In 2019, Mak's introduction to kava was nothing short of serendipitous. It was a fellow tennis player from Florida Atlantic University who first enlightened him about the remarkable properties of kava and botanical teas. She spoke of its potential for post-workout recovery and post-game rejuvenation, and Mak was instantly intrigued. He gave it a try and quickly realized the benefits it offered, describing it as a game-changer for his recovery and overall well-being.

Fast forward to 2021, and Mak found himself in Naples, Florida, seeking a regular hangout spot. A quick search led him to Kava Luv, and the moment he walked through the doors, he knew he'd found his sanctuary. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and the allure of kava made it the perfect place to unwind and connect with others. This is when his journey as a Kava Luv regular truly began.

One of the highlights of Mak's visits to Kava Luv is undoubtedly his choice of beverages. His go-to favorites include Horchata with Kava, a sweet and nutty delight, or a Double Bula with a touch of raw honey for added sweetness. These drinks are not only delicious but also provide the desired relaxation and relief. When it comes to choosing between kava and botanical teas, Mak is unwavering in his preference for kava. He finds that kava not only eases physical discomfort but also offers precious mental relief, which is essential given his past experiences as an NFL player. 

While every day at Kava Luv is special in its own right, there are certain events that pique Mak's interest. Halloween and the murder mystery party are particular favorites, adding an element of excitement and intrigue to his regular hangout.  His visits to Kava Luv vary, depending on his needs. He frequents the bar during the early afternoon to find relief from pain, allowing him to power through the day. In contrast, he also enjoys winding down with a visit at night, a calming way to conclude a long day.
