Natura’s 2016 update is incredible! It’s got a great open environment that makes getting school or creative work done peacefully throughout the day. Their coffee list is one of the best in the area, and their hookahs are consistently amazing(not to mention a good bit cheaper than Meridian Hookah down the road!). There is always a great beer of the day and great entertainment every night night of the week. If you haven’t done so already, this is definitely a place worth checking out!

The atmosphere is pretty cool, nice place to chill when you don’t want to go downtown but want to get out. The crowds suck though for performers lol. And the food and snacks are decent, so is the hookah

One of Orlando’s best kept secrets… you would not know Natura is where it’s at if you don’t physically drive by in the complex. So PLEASE, drive by! They offer a huge selection of hookah, many drinks(coffee, tea, bubble tea, beer, wine, etc.) and always have great entertainment. I love coming in to just chill out with friends or even by myself to grab a bite. It’s a great place and perfect for college students.

I’ve only been here once and I’d like to return. This place is ideally for college students. It serves an unusual yet effective combination of coffee, beer, and hookah. The price for coffee is great and there is a variety of different coffee making methods available there. The quality of the coffee I had was pretty good. The atmosphere is very relaxed. With couches, art and a lot of «hippie» vibes. It looks like they have musicians or poets or comedians come by on select nights. I haven’t seen them but it’s a really small stage/venue. At this moment, I can’t comment on the hookah or beer.

Great place for hookah. The servers are friendly and not pushy. Definitely a chill vibe. Good for studying and the teas are great and fresh. If it were larger it would be great because sometimes it gets packed. Love the art on the walls.

Mama wanted to check out the coffee and work on her schoolwork. The place reeks ok hookah smoke and probably better suited for college students and not for middle aged people seeking a cup of coffee. Basic Foo Foo coffee and Boba teas along with beer and wine. The music choice is actually quite nice and the girl working here is personable. If I was in my 20’s I would come here but I’m a bit old for this place.

Super eclectic and unique! I went for their open mic night with my friends and we had a great time! I’m interested to see how it is during the day!

Love the ambiance of Natura, the owners and staff are really nice and friendly, a lot of events always going down. So you never know what you might see. Always a good time to chill there

Hookah has a very stale taste to it and it seems like a lot of the hookahs are old and malfunction. Came for the hookah twice, was dissapointed twice. Staff is nice and so is the ambience.

You should go to Natura if: — you want to support local artists *open mic nights include singer/songwriters, comedians, poets, etc *local bands *local artist hang their work on the walls for purchase — you like hookah — you want a very casual, laid-back place to chill with a young crowd — you like boba tea If you like clean, well kept places you should avoid Natura. The bathroom was really awful(only one in the small place and it wasn’t being maintained well). Furniture is worn with cigarette burns and stains. Staff is friendly. Everything was reasonably priced.

Such a great vibe and environment, really friendly and honest business. They have night entertainment every night and in general a great place to chill and lounge very casual. First impressions couldn’t have been better.

Orlando seems to be rather abundant with coffee shops. Whether you’re into a minimalistic, hipster feel or you like the warm, comfortable vibe with the a local artist performing in the background, there’s something for you. Natura isn’t really either. Granted it is practically the UCF Coffee shop and many students find themselves here at night, it’s not your typical environment on certain days. They have a variety of open mic nights and events that take place which for the most part are great. I don’t really want to review comedy nights but I will say that I went on a Thursday night and wasn’t too fond of the host«comedian». To each his own though. As for the coffee shop environment, I did notice the furniture(couches) to be a bit worn out. In the day time the place looks a bit of a wreck. In fact, this place is more of a hookah bar that offers coffee/tea.(Note: I don’t smoke hookah) They do offer some great beers but myself and a few friends found their beers to not be cold enough for our liking. I ordered a Milk Stout Nitro and had to ask for a cup to pour it in and it was just barely cold. The offerings are great but I would not say the folks I encountered are that knowledgeable on their beverage offerings. Another thing was during the day, I found the wireless connection leaving much to be desired. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a lower tier connection. Being so close to UCF with students who watch lectures online, you might find yourself stuck in a rut if you have something important to do. To sum things up, if you want hookah and beer with live performances: This is a good spot. Some musicians told me when they were freshmen, they practically lived here. So I’m sure it provides a bit of meaning to many UCF students and I can get that. The crowd here is definitely on the younger side. If you’re looking for quality coffee, you may or may not like the offerings here. If you are looking to study, don’t come here on a Thursday night. Regardless, if you’re just a bored freshman and want to meet some new people, the folks here are pretty friendly. Oh and yeah, you’ll walk out smelling like hookah.

Laid back college atmosphere with hookah and a decent amount of interesting beers. It’s located in a strip small and I drove past it like three times. If you see the ATM, you know you are close so park. There’s a long bar to sit at and several couches around the place. I had the Skull Splitter beer and it was pretty good. I like that the bartender told me up front it was 9 bucks — that was cool of him. The prices are decent but I wanted something out there so thats why I bought that. The people who worked there were friendly and seemed to know a lot of people. They have something going on every day. Improv, comedy, bands playing and we were there on a Wednesday which is live jazz night. This is a good place to chill and hang out with friends. The couches are falling apart but who cares. I bought some art here that was very cheap and awesome. If you buy art, its cash or check only. They have ATM outside that charges like 2.75 or something like that.

—atmosphere only— I saw this place on Unilocal and decided to stop in just to check it out. I didn’t order anything so I can only comment on the atmosphere. That said, I think it is a pretty cool place, very divey. It happened to be a night when they had live music and the artist was decent — I didn’t mind listening to her music and actually liked a song or two. I regret not writing down the title of the songs now. All in all, it seems like a cool place to hang out with friends… and maybe grab a drink… or a hookah, if that’s your thing.

Walked in to eat my dunkin donuts watch an instructional video on YouTube and have some beers on my day off… manager inside gives me a confused weird look and says.“uh no outsider food or drink in here u can eat outside” while others are drinking coffee and eating. This place normally has a good crew/vibe…manager had a bad attitude and came off rude… I won’t be coming back

Even though the last 2 times I’ve been in here I’ve been hassled by bums asking to share my hookah with them, this is still my favorite place to get work done. Small but decent beer selection as well.

While this place has a cool concept of diverse drinks and engagement nightlife activities, the bubble tea really needs improvement for flavor and the tapioca was extremely overcooked and soggy. Eek! Me thinks not! I still have yet to discover an amazing place that really knows how to serve and make bubble tea.

Natura is a great place to chill and hang out with friends. I’ve gone on Jazz Night and Open Mic Night; their lineup was great! Natura gives local bands and artists a chance to showcase their work. Just be warned though, it does get pretty busy later on in the night; so come early or sit at the bar. Their drinks a pretty good, my friend loved her Tortuga Latte and I loved their Boba Milk Tea. But the boba they use can be pretty tough — it’s a different texture from other boba places in town. Their selection of beer is pretty decent too; I saw a few I’d like to try next time I come in. Also, while Natura does offer wifi and some outlets, it can get pretty distracting in there at night. So if you’re the type who needs peace and quiet to study, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. But if you’re just looking to come hang out with a group of friends, definitely come to Natura. They have a cool atmosphere, friendly baristas, great music, and a good selection of food and drinks to pick from. TIP: Bring cash when you come. They have a minimum of $ 5(?) for credit cards.

Natura used to be one of my favorite hang outs. The staff is so nice, the beer selection is ok, the food is fine, and the atmosphere can be hit or miss. Open mic is kind of fun, but about 75% of the people who play are awful. It’s still a lot of fun & there definitely are those occasional artists who will turn your head. If you are in college, it is a fantastic place to study. If you just want a night out, it’s not my first place to go, however, it’s always a decent time. I never regret going there, but it’s never my first place to pick I do enjoy playing music there from time to time and let me repeat, the staff is super nice. I never have poor service there, it’s just not always the best place to hang. Coffee is decent. Not amazing, but definitely better than Starbucks.

Natura is a nice little place to enjoy a beverage and check out talented people. Tuesday, Friday, & Saturday nights musicians local and touring a like hope on stage to play and entertain patrons. On the other days there are weekly planned events. Mondays have been taken over by improv that is patron interactive. Wednesdays they have a live Jazz band that is open for anyone interested in playing to join in. Thursday and Sunday nights are open mic nights. Thursdays are better for the big bands and Sunday is more suggested for acoustic but basically you go on if you sign up. Sometimes if a band is touring they may block off a half or full hour for them to play during open mic. I don’t know about the guy that got a stomach issue but I have had drinks and food from Natura numerous times and not had a problem and I don’t have don’t have an iron stomach.
