Reviews for Lava Java House in Lavallette, NJ
Love this place, even with it being so popular the wait time is quick. Staff is friendly and food and coffee are great
Coffee is delicious and the food is great too! Staff is super nice and the vibes cannot be beat.
hands down my favorite coffee spot in the neighborhood especially with its central location in downtown lavallette. the lines... get crazy on a summer weekend, so i only go when i can hit the coffee window on the side for iced coffee/iced tea. their food isalso great when i?ve had it - i personally just don?t have the bandwidth to wait 20 min in line and then another 20-30 min formy order actually to be ready.

Every legitimate tourist destination has a coffee place like this - an establishment with a slightly quirky personality (is it... really quirky though if every coffeehouse has one?) and tons of bougie syrup flavors to squirt into caffeinated beverages. Istopped by here on a recent Monday morning with a noble chum on our way back from a sunrise toilet paper run (vacations aren'tjust rainbows and unicorns). Lava Java had attracted our attention the day before on a morning stroll because it had had a lineout the door, and a lot of flashy exterior signage. Clearly one of the more popular establishments in that area. In recentmonths I've become obsessed with rose-flavored lattes, which I've strangely found a difficult time locating in NYC - you'dthink it would be the bedrock of civilization for something as basic as coffee - but can usually find pretty easily in suburbia.They are delicious and I strongly recommend them in all situations. This particular one was very good; the flavor was strongwithout being overwhelming and the extra shot I ordered provided a nice little nip to start the day. It looked like they hadsome standard food options as well, but I bypassed them knowing I'd likely be having a formal sit-down meal shortly. Calorieconsumption must be planned to an extent. There was a short line to order, but I don't think we were in there for more thanfive or six minutes total. They had a legit crew of baristas behind the counter, I believe three or four people, all of whomseemed to be in pleasant spirits. And while we were waiting, there were various pop culture shrines to occupy our attention,including the attached New Kids on the Block homage and I believe one for the universally beloved Betty White. Definitely wortha visit, especially if you sense a caffeine headache coming on and/or your palate is craving a floral flavor. Read more
This place is awesome. Lovely staff. Sarah, who took my order is particularly friendly and warm. Gave me a discount for wearing... a NKOTB t-shirt. IYKYK. The breakfast sandwich is epic (see pic). Could eat one every day. Love the atmosphere. Solid music aswell. Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow. Read more
Best Coffee Shop ever! When on the Jersey Shore, this place ROCKS! Great coffee, great service, great food! The workers are... great! They make you feel good! They greet you with a smile and when you leave say good bye (with your name). I was onlythere a couple days, but they seem to know their repeat customers by name. Muffins are phenomenal too!
