My name is Heather and my partner Erin opened Mai Kai Kava Bar last May. It has been a huge success. Gainesville has loved the fact that there is an alternative to alcohol scene. My background was in Real Estate but my passion is to help people feel better with natural teas and herbs. Erin has a background in the service industry and has been working with food for the last 10 years. Together we have created a safe, zen den vibe place to come unwind and be yourself.
