Review Java Lava Cafe - Houston

Alissa Christine
Discreetly tucked into the Asia Society Center this little Cafe is a hidden gem. I ordered the avocado toast with a fried egg. The avocado was actually seasoned but not overly as was the egg. Toast was crunchy and held up well.. Totally delicious. Iced matcha latte was on point also.

Vibe- This is a nice cafe that sits inside of the Asia Society Texas Center. They have about 8 tables inside and a few tables outside too. This is probably not an ideal spot to come to if you’re wanting to study because the cafe is connected to the center and the noise level is loud. However; siting outside could be an option if you need a softer noise level. Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got a hot matcha latte with oat milk and vanilla; it was good! I also tried the matcha waffle, I honestly couldn’t got something else; it was alright. Parking- I ended up parking on the street and paid $2/hr.

Small casual cafe tucked in the Asia Society Center without the usual museum markup prices. It has some unique drinks like the Hanoi Egg Coffee which was great if you like foamy drinks! Their breakfast panini was delicious! They have plenty of meatless options for vegetarians. It’s a nice quiet area and was not too crowded for Sunday brunch. Would be a nice place to fuel up for a day at Hermann Park.

Cute, delicious, and a prefect lunch spot!Vietnamese coffee, baked mochi and crispy cod sandwich were a hit. Only ding, the cod tasted like it might have been frozen and not freshly breaded.

I love this cafe. It’s the only reason I go inside the Asian society center, because it’s the only thing exciting .✨ The food is incredible. The restrooms 🚽 at the center are disgusting so don’t use them or you will loose your appetite.🤮The only thing I was upset about is that I Salmon 🍣 but they have me SPAM!!! I also order a Nutella 🥐 , and it was smudge in avocado 🥑 overall food 🍱 is delicious.

Located inside of the Asian Society Texas Center building. Really nice staff, gave great suggestions and made stellar coffee. I had the Artichoke Panini with the Hanoi Egg Coffee made from Kona coffee (if you know, you know) both of which were delicious. Would recommend!!

Every one is very friendly. The owners wife told us about how her husband is an architect and all the neat details he put into this awesome place. The water has a hint of mint in it and is super delicious and refreshing. They warmed up the pastry for us and the egg omelette was expertly made. This will be our new hang out spot. Dog friendly as well.

This little place is just what the neighborhood needs! It's such a great location: near Hermann Park, easy train access, near museums, and there's off-street parking. Oh, and there's another thing: the outdoor area is dog-friendly! Woo Hoo! I can't speak with authority on the food items but the coffee drinks that we ordered were perfect. It was a hot afternoon when we were here so I would have liked additional icy or slushy options to meet the Houston heat. But I'm not complaining. I think those options will eventually arrive. The staff couldn't be nicer. The decor and ambience were clean and inviting. I will definitely be back. I loved this place.

I love the coffee, food and pasties at Java Lava. I drop in on a regular basis for a meal and other times grab a coffee to go. I also hosted a bridal shower and was very pleased with the buffet and attention Su and his staff provided. My guests were so complimentary of the food and venue.

As cozy of a neighborhood spot as it gets! Came here for dinner and was not disappointed. I had the poke bowl and my wife had the lemongrass chicken. Definitely recommend both items. Fun menu complemented by a great beer selection on tap. Nice patio too. Can't wait to try it out for breakfast soon. They didn't have bike racks but were more than accommodating and let us park our bikes on their patio. Much appreciated!

Want to start your day with an Aloha, in a relaxing place with great personnel and good music, delicious food and a wide variety of coffee straight from the Hawaii? This is the right place! Plus, definitely digital workers friendly, with wi-fi and possibility to charge your devices. Super suggested!

The Big Kahuna burger was excellent! The staff was very friendly and helpful. It's a cute little joint and it's got a dog-friendly patio.

A jewel in the Museum District! Great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great coffee, beer, wine, and other interesting looking beverages. Friendly people, fab service, a lovely spot to hang out any time of day.

Top notch aloha service, with high quality food and great coffee. New breakfast spot and I'll be back soon for dinner and drinks. Atmosphere had me looking up flights to Hawaii at my table!
Diego De Leon
The food is delicious with a great variety to choose from, the coffee in the morning is even better! Plus the evening beers also add to the excitement! But the main reason I come back is the awesome Hawaiian atmosphere! With indoor/outdoor seating, this is where I will be spending most of my time.

Best coffe I've drunk in the US so far. I'd definitely recommend a visit. Owners are very concerned about clients satisfaction and so are attendants.

Stopped by Java Lava Brew today after a walk around Hermann Park and it was the perfect spot for a relaxing brunch! They have great coffee, the bites are wonderful (try the Island Spamwich!) and the modern but relaxed atmosphere there is a perfect break from the work week. So glad to have this gem in the Museum District!
Michael Fisch
Fantastic ribs! And such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. I’m hooked on JLB already...
