Java Lava Cafe

It's part of the museum, and has a calm, clean aesthetic. I've gone multiple times and it's usually never crowded. My go-to coffee is the Cafe Sua Da, which is both sweet and strong. Whenever I feel like I need a snack, the piping hot spam musubi has the perfect spam-to-rice ratio and a sweet and savory sauce with furikake! All in all, love this spot! It's low-key but always delivers!

Love this place a lotYou should define this place as a hidden gemThe food looks normal and plain but it tastes really goodI love the coffee here as well it is from Kona Hawaii The service is wonderful The place is a museum cafeBut it tastes really good Egg coffee and Tuna Sandwich both good

Tried this cafe on a whim and was presently surprised! The design is clean and modern and service is fast. I got the latte, and it wasn't too sweet. I tried the salmon musubi and it was delicious!! The salmon was flaky and buttery, the sauce had a nice deep soy flavor that was a bit sweet, and the furikake added a nice crunch. I'd love to come back to try their other dishes

Traditional flavors in a variety of drinks with snacks to match! Fresh baked pastries, savory bites and even shrimp chips are available. My ube latte was perfect!

This is the place to come for a relaxing Kona coffee in the museum district! Plenty of tables inside and out. Park in the Asia Society lot and receive validation with any café purchase. Brunch is served until closing at 3:00pm. Yummy waffles, eggs, beyond beef sausage, paninis and breakfast croissants. YUM!!

We planned a weekend in the Museum District and came across Java Lava on Yelp! and decided to give them a try. Its location was a little confusing, but after realizing you had to actually go inside the Asia Society Texas Center to find it, we were set. It's in a cozy little corner of the center, but not too cramped with a very clean layout. It's counter service, but they will bring the food to your table. We ordered the Spam Musubi, Loco Moco Plate (made with Beyond meat!), an Americano, and an Ube Latte. Everything was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

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.

Food, serviced an ambiance were great. Good for a date-coffee meet up in museum district.

My First Visit: I received a very warm welcome. Server (I am so bad with names but she was very nice, helpful in explaining my choice interests). Food was Delicious! Not being accustomed to Spicy, it did take a little while to adapt. As the food temperature cooled, I became better able to eat the food and enjoy the flavors -- Oh So Delicious! I had a hot Matcha Latte with coconut milk and agave!!! What A Compliment to the dish!!! I had French Fried Mushrooms on top of Grits!!! FOR ME: Total Price is a little high: Worth Every Penny!!! And the Service is Customer Oriented with Price in their Restaurant. I will return as a patron as a special treat to myself!!!!

I visit Asia Society often, but had never dined at Java Lava until recently. My sister was visiting from out of town and we decided to stop in for breakfast on a Saturday. She enjoyed her iced Vietnamese coffee and avocado toast. I enjoyed the plain waffle. It had a different texture from the waffles we are used to , we think there was rice flour, but I really liked it. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the lots of street parking on the neighborhood.
