Moments that you'll treasure
Lucid Coffee & Kava was born from a shared vision between three local entrepreneurs who saw the need for a community-focused, alcohol-free gathering space in North St. Pete.
Lokesh Vale, owner of The Twisted Indian, known for elevating modern Indian cuisine in the Grand Central District. Amar Nathwani, a realtor with Barkett Realty who brings his strategy consulting and entrepreneurial experience to every project. Abram “Avi” Jacobson, VP of Sales at Pure Infinity Botanicals, a leading distributor of premium kava and kratom products.
Together, they envisioned a place that blends high-quality craft coffee, fresh-brewed kava, and a calming, welcoming atmosphere. Their goal wasn’t just to serve drinks—it was to offer a third place for people to gather, connect, and feel grounded, without the presence of alcohol.
Lucid is more than a coffee shop. It’s a reflection of the founders’ passion for wellness, culture, and connection—a thoughtfully designed space where community thrives one cup at a time.
Our Coffee
At Lucid, every cup starts with purpose and premium beans. We proudly serve coffee roasted by Savage Coffee Roasters, a renowned St. Petersburg roastery celebrated for its expertly sourced Panamanian beans.
With a meticulous, award-winning roasting process, Savage brings out the full character and complexity of each origin. The result? Coffee that’s bright, balanced, and brimming with flavor crafted to elevate your daily ritual.
Our Kava
Kava Culture & Community
More than just a drink, kava is a ritual of togetherness. At Lucid, we embrace the cultural roots of kava by creating an inclusive space where people can unplug, share stories, and feel grounded.
Kava Myth Busting
Kava is non-alcoholic, non-addictive, and legally consumed across the U.S.
Sourcing with Integrity
We proudly source our kava from trusted farms in Fiji, where it’s lab-tested, ethically harvested, and approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture.
Our Kratom: Balanced Energy
We offer three distinct strains: Red (“bed”), White (“flight”), and Green (“in between”) – each with its own unique benefits. Whether you’re winding down, powering through your day, or looking for a balanced middle ground, our kratom menu is designed to support your flow. All varieties are lab-tested, ethically sourced, and prepared with care.
