Java Lava Cafe

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
