Civil Vapes Kava Bar

Civil Vapes Kava Bar is one of those spots in Casselberry that regulars talk about like a second home. Part vape and smoke shop, part kava bar, it sits in the same plaza as the old GameStop, and folks who shop here will tell you the newer space is decorated with real personality and always carries a welcoming vibe. If you're around the Full Sail University area, it's an easy stop. On the vape side, you'll find a solid lineup of disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, along with smoking accessories, hookah and shisha.

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to the staff first, because the crew genuinely knows the products. People come back for Greg, Dennis, Evan and Keia, who have a reputation for steering you toward the best brands of disposables and striking up a good conversation while they're at it. One local mentioned her husband prefers the Casselberry location over the others just because of how helpful these three are. The kava bar is its own draw.

There's fresh-brewed kava plus a rotating menu of botanical teas and their own botanical tea sodas on tap, which locals rave about. First-timers get a warm welcome here, and we've heard of the team walking newcomers through the different kinds so you can figure out what you like. The Jessica Rabbit gets named as a favorite more than once. They also host weekly events that keep the place lively.

The word around Casselberry is strong, and with a long history of regulars coming back year after year, Civil Vapes has earned a loyal following. Value comes up a lot too, with people praising both the prices and the variety. The only grumble we've caught is the occasional mix-up on closing time, so it's worth confirming hours before a late stop. Otherwise, this is a genuine local favorite worth checking out.
