A new one-stop-shop for drinks has made its debut in Largo—and no, it's not Conservative Grounds. Whether you’re craving tea, kava, kratom or kombucha, Steep Station's newest location aims to meet all your thirst-quenching needs.

Although Largo’s Steep Station is now up-and-running at 1941 W. Bay Dr.—the chain's third location in Tampa Bay—its official grand opening celebration is on March 27. This party will feature a cornhole competition, live music, local vendors, raffles and an all-you-can-drink tab for $20. 

Not sure what kava is or why it tastes so bad? No worries, Steep Station’s "kava-tenders" are well-equipped with all types of knowledge about the root-based drink. And if the numbing effects of kava and kratom aren’t your jam, opt for Steep Stations bagged or loose-leaf tea, or some kombucha. 

As for right now, the new cafe only offers beverages, but fingers crossed it will expand with a food menu to match the downtown St. Petersburg location which serves light bites like acai bowls. 

Steep Station’s newest location in Largo is now open from 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Mon.-Thu. 9 a.m.-midnight Fri.-Sat. and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sun.
