Really cute coffee shop, clean and quaint. I ordered a flat white, so good, Love the fact that the Cups have the word LAVA on it, so cute! looks like your drinking lava.. lol. If you would like a really good cup of coffee and a coffee shop that is not so busy, I got my coffee in less than five minutes or so. Staff is very nice and there is an amazing artist on site, they have art on some cups not sure if you can use those cups but they look pretty cool. I will be definitely be back again. Give them a try, it’s always good to support our local businesses
Hands down the best coffee anywhere. I drive significantly out of my day at least 5 times a week to get my lava coffee. The shop is a great place to work or hang out. Love the vibe. I recommend you quit giving your money to starbucks and be a Lava Coffee regular!
Baristas are sweet and friendly. They are happy to give recommendations, and they have creative new drinks to try each month.
Great coffee & atmosphere for sure! This coffee shop definitely gives you a real and true small comfy coffee shop vibe. Pleasant staff that greets you the moment you walk through the door and when you exit. One of my favorite coffee shops, for sure!
Relaxed lighting, comfortable seating, and jazzy music make this a great quiet place to read a book. Their munchies are all quite tasty. Their lattes are ok, theyre just not that flavorful, unlike their yuzu lemonade which is intense! Fantastic service too. Easily one of my favorite places to relax with a snack.
I love coming to this place! They have a great selection of coffees. I typically get the frappes since they have a lot of flavor. It’s a good quiet spot to be able to study.
A variety of classics plus tons of specialties options to choose from. Everything Ive tried has been delightful 😊
Nice coffee shop with a very relaxing atmosphere. Baristas were nice and the coffee was delish!
I love how attentive the barista was. She answered all the questions that we had patiently (they have many varieties of coffee menus, which I love that for its going to take a little bit of time to read through). I decided to order iced Blackmoon latte, which is a combination of their special house syrup and dark chocolate. I love the flavor of this combination a lot and house syrup is quite unique taste. But 4 stars is because I was missing the actual coffee aromatic taste, maybe it was masked by the syrup or espresso shots were strong enough. Anyway, still an enjoyable glass
Breakfast sandwich was ok but the pastry was SO GOOD! I got the dark amethyst coffee and it was amazing!!
We love this place! Excellent selection of unique flavors and I’m addicted to the almond danish. :)
I love this place so so much. I live 20 minutes away but drive is worth it! This place is peaceful and quiet, perfect for studying! They have a unique selection of traditional coffees, non-coffee cold drinks, teas, and specialty coffees! I personally always go for the honey bear latte because she has never let me down, but it’s definitely worth it to try their whole menu! And their social media presence with the barista series is super engaging and cute!
If you’re looking for a casual coffee place with a soft industrial vibe, this is it. Fantastic service, terrific latte and chai, and tasty bakery treats make this a good choice to meet friends or even study. Easy access to I-10 and 99 make this a convenient place to stop, as well. I just wish they were open later in the evening, at least on weekends.
Hard to find good quality coffee in this area, they have so many nice options for coffee lovers
Hasn’t been long since I found this place and I can’t stop coming by. The coffee here is fantastic and environment is wonderful!
Whoop whoop! Katy is finally opening its doors to more local coffee shops. Move on from starbucks and support a local brewer. Lava will rotate through different beans which offers customers the opportunity to experience different flavors/tones.I got the dirty coffee and an autumn spiced latte. The dirty coffee is a split of milk and espresso. A perfect introductory espresso drink for anyone who is a little worried about the strong bitter tones. Super smooth with a rich fruity undertone.The autumn spiced latte is perfect for the everyday joe who wants a little sweetness in their life. I avoid lattes at starbucks as the syrup/sugar level overwhelms the coffee flavor. However, the spiced latte has the right balance of sweetness. Every spice pops up with every sip but the coffee beans are never lost.There are power outlets for anyone who wants to work! Cute cafe vibes paired with great coffee is a win-win in my book. Try it out!
Great coffee shop, music is good, coffee great, and atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. I have found myself in here for hours working and not feeling out of place!
The place looks and smells great, but the service was iffy. We walked in (after the state-wide mask requirement was lifted) and we saw NO ONE wearing masks. And yet we were asked to come back when we had masks on. Please tell me why we were asked to wear masks when absolutely no one else here was?!? (See pic) To top it all off, we came back and I asked for a plain latte. They gave me a freaking cappuccino. How can you be a coffee shop and not know the difference!?!
Decent coffee. Customer service doesn’t exists.
Really cute coffee place tucked in the middle of a shopping building. I’ve had multiple drinks and treats here. My favorite is the iced dark moon and the mini Oreo cheesecake!
This cute and cozy coffee shop has delicious drinks and amazing snacks, and the baristas are very nice. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service is great, and the menu has something for everyone! It is definitely the best coffee shop Ive been to!
This has been on my mind for a long time to do a review. After more than dozen visits I am extremely happy to mention that Lava if you have already been should be your go to for Katy folks seeking delicious teas and coffees. I had the Hulk which is a matcha latte and it was great ( just like the 6 other times I have ordered it!) I must mention I haven’t tried the entire menu but most of their items that I have tried have been delicious ! Don’t get me started on the cheesecake items! Good job Lava hope to keep coming back in the near future.
Super cute coffee shop. Coffee was super good their cheese danishes were okay but the blueberry Muffin was to die for!!
Excellent coffee and service. My espresso machiatto was perfect!
Great for people who enjoy five-hour-old coffee, lukewarm Jimmy Dean microwavable food, $12 sandwiches made with expired ingredients, and a playlist that plays the same eight songs every day! Make sure to check this place out soon before it inevitably goes bankrupt and closes forever!
Definitely my favorite coffee spot. Ive been here several times and everything is always amazing! I even am willing to pay the extra cost delivery fee when ordering on doordash cuz nothing compares when I want just really good coffee
Just stopped in for a lemonade and the atmosphere was so cute and relaxing. The drink was delicious too!
Great coffee and the medium roast bean is my favorite
Great coffee great ambience great coffee shop
I love their butter beer latte. A bit pricey, but I appreciate small coffee shops!
Love the seasonal drinks menu. I always come here after dropping my baby off at school early morning. Always have great service.
Lava Coffee is an amazing coffee shop! I have been a patron several times now and each time I go I have an ever better experience. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful. I love drinking the java and mocha frappes! One time they were out of the delicious cheese danishes and one of the baristas helped me decide which pastry to purchase after discussing several options. It was great! Today I met my friend there and she loved the coffee shop as well. We cannot wait to come back. I am thrilled this coffee shop has opened! 🙂
Nice coffee shop with adequate seating. I met a colleague for a business meeting; the WiFi connection was strong and the bathroom was clean. I had a regular coffee and apple strudel. The service was friendly and the hand drawn smiley faces on the cups were a nice touch.
Cozy space, great drinks and creative menu. A must stop for any coffee lover in west Houston and very convenient location. I have had about half the latte menu selection so far and have yet to get one I don’t care for. Campfire is my favorite, just like drinking a roasted marshmallow.
I got a lavender lemonade. SO good!
I love coming here! Always friendly and delicious options. Im in love with the rose muffins!!
First time coming here. I really enjoyed the Carmel macchiato.
Horrible cafe and bad services 😪 I dont recommend for anyone
I come here often on my lunch break. They always have quick and delicious drinks and food! I absolutely love the muffins, all made fresh in house every day and with the most satisfying flavors, like earl grey, rose, and pistachio! My personal favorite is the pumpkin one (: Give Lava a shot, youll love it!
Love the coffee here. They always rotate out the featured drinks and they are really creative. Great atmosphere and friendly service.
Great coffee. Relaxed and comfy atmosphere.
Always friendly. Place is super clean. Comfortable. Great coffee and yummy food choices. Love the Dark Moon Latte!
Very nice friendly highly recommended!!
Its ite but people who sit at the tables have a staring problem
The best coffee i ever had!
Coffee is amazing! Went there for the first time and was absolutely delighted with the quality and service.
I love this coffee shop. Peaceful and cozy, baristas are great and super friendly. Last but not least the coffee is fire 🔥 one of my favorites in the area.
The most amazing cheesecakes! Perfect place to study with plenty of seating and places to charge.
Great coffee with unique flavors, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. Our favorite coffee place in Katy!
Lovely baristas. Yummy specialty coffees. And their current drawing challenge is great fun!
Have been her a hand full so far and NEVER disappointed. Nice variety of drinks. Tasty.
Walked in to try this place based off all the good reviews. Looked very cozy place to grab a coffee or hangout. The barista was helpful in recommending a seasonal drink and described the cheesecake flavors I was looking at. I got an iced Cinni Minni and a butter beer flavored cheesecake. Definitely recommend this place and will be returning!
Really nice space for studying, hanging out, or getting some work done. Enjoyed my bourbon latte, would recommend and am planning on coming back to try some of their other interesting drinks!Lots of great places to eat nearby is a plus too!
Ive been here a few times. Every drink Ive had here has been excellent (HIGHLY recommend the lavender latte or the lavender lemonade if thats up your alley). Also the first avocado toast Ive had that was actually worth the price. The barista was very sweet, excellent service.
Great coffee experience! Highly recommended. We tried the Green Hulk (Matcha Tea with Expresso) and Mello-Mallow. Loved it! Loved the ambience and atmosphere and the free books to read!!! Will definitely return.
Great place to study, friendly baristas, and delicious coffee and non-coffee drinks!
I come to this coffee place at least once a week to work on homework and love it every time! I found out about this place on Yelp and have not been disappointed!! Great service!! 100% recommended!
Great customer service every time. Relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend Myriam’s Latte and their Earl Gray blueberry muffin.
I love to come in, greeted with great smiles, I can see them through the masks of course! Try any of the cheese cakes! Yum!
The best! Great, friendly staff. Awesome coffee menu. Close to Memorial Hermann for all of us working in healthcare. Thanks for always making our day(s) better!
The very 1st time I went was during the 1st week this store was open. Then the pandemic occurred. I was so happy to receive a promotional text to stop by and try Myriams latte special. I went on Nov 4th to try the special. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!
The coffee here is really good. They offer different options. I had the Java chip frappe, and it was one the best ones I’ve had.
This is my *favorite* coffee shop in the Houston area! They serve my favorite drink, which is a blackberry mocha. Delicious! And to top it off the staff is always kind and friendly and welcoming. Go there!!!
Lava is awesome! The baristas always seem to be friendly/positive and the coffee is great. The small cheesecakes are really good also! 👍
Latte’s and Brewed coffee are very good! The Baristas are always nice!
Awesome little coffee shop, great atmosphere, and very interesting coffee and bites selections.
I would always go to Starbucks, but after discovering this coffee shop I will now be coming here instead. Service was great, the girl at the front was very nice and welcoming to us and the coffee was delicious. And WiFi is a plus :)
First time here, and its exactly everything I want in a coffee place. The coffee is fantastic and more importantly, the baristas know how to make an excellent cup of coffee. Decor and music are beautiful, perfect if you just want to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or have some work done on your laptop. Will absolutely be back soon.
A very calm and well kept coffee shop with delicious drinks, always adding new beverages, and with the nicest staff.
Skip the Starbucks line and head for Lava.
Dont know much about cafes but I enjoyed the matcha, bit high for the price point, but otherwise great atmosphere. Great to study at
Super cute coffee shop with homemade treats and good books to ready while enjoying your coffee.
When we came no one was here. Service was lacking and no attempt at making us feel welcome. If there isn’t another customer in your store maybe bring the food/beverage to the table and just add a little customer service. The cappuccino is lacking and the espresso is weak and was scalded. The sausage breakfast croissant is lacking and is on the same level of a premade Jimmy dean breakfast sandwich. We ordered 3 of them. One without cheese and they said “oh I guess we can just pull off the cheese”... like obviously you can pull the cheese off, I don’t need a walk through of what needs to be done to take care of it... and one of the sandwiches came out cold. We mentioned it and they remicrowaved the sandwich.**In response to the owner. You chose to deflect from my main issues by placating my issue of not receiving sit down service which is not what I walked in expecting; however, as the ONLY customer in there your representatives could easily go the extra mile. You decided to not mention the cold food or that the same sandwich was just remicrowaved and reserved with the bite out of it. The cappuccino was predominantly steamed milk and tasted scalded, I suggest you check the settings if you just have them preset. As far as trying a signature drink, we got the peppermint mocha and it too was not great and had far too much peppermint extract that it was almost medicinal, but the interior design is nice.
Excellent service, very clean and nice atmosphere. Housemade syrups for drinks and pastries are made in house as well. Cant wait to go back and try more specialty coffee drinks!
Good spot, Nice and Smooth Cappuccino, I recommend this small and cozy place.
Food and drinks were delicious and the decor is very cute
This is my go-to study spot! The Ivory Mocha is a must and the baristas are so kind and friendly!
Super chill vibe. Best coffee shop in the area.
Absolutely love this coffee shop. My favorite spot in Katy. Coffee is delicious. And the Avocado toast is yummy.
The food is good and the environment is peaceful
I love this place.It’s quiet. The staff and manager are so friendly and sweet. My 8 year old son loves this place too because they have board games and pretty cake pops.
