Java Lava

Went there for breakfast and the service was mediocre. My food had a hair in it and I lost my appetite after that. I hear this place is good so I gave it a try and this is what happened my 1^st time there.

Great spot. I love the Italian breakfast sandwhich. A bit pricy but the portions are good.

We keep coming and they keep their hi standards on food. Small place, good people. The Manager is awesome and he is always helping out. Will keep coming back.

They have great service and friendly staff. The food is great and affordable! I love their daily specials and their half sandwich — that look like a full sandwich — combos. I can eat here every day and not be bored. Love it!

Wonderful light lunch place. I really enjoy the buffalo bleu salad. The food always taste fresh and fills me up without making me want to nap all afternoon. I haven’t had any of the sandwiches, but all the salads I have had were very delicious and I am not the kind of person who ordered salad often.

This company did the catering for my son’s wedding on April 3, 2015. The meal that they provided was absolutely delicious from start to finish. The proteins were cooked to perfection and the sides were extremely flavorful! Every single guest that attended this wedding raved about the meal that they received. The staff at Java lava was extremely easy to work with and they put together a great package for us. In fact, I was so impressed with their catering services that I am considering using them again for my daughter’s bridal shower taking place in Orlando Florida on July 26, 2015.

Java Lava did the catering for my brother’s wedding and the food was delicious! My big Italian family is rather picky when it comes to food and not a single person had anything negative to say about their meal. The dinner was set up buffet style and all of the food was hot and looked picture perfect. The two main entrees were a Hawaiian-​style chicken and a salmon dish. Both were cooked perfectly and the sides were equally as good. To be completely honest I was a little worried that the quality of the food would be sub-​par as I’ve attended several wedding that oped to serve dinner buffet style and the food ended up being cold and rubbery. With Java Lava that was NOT the case. The meal was awesome and I was told by my brother and sister in law that the restaurant was very easy and enjoyable to work with. While I have never come to their physical establishment to dine, I can absolutely endorse their catering services and I would highly recommend them for anyone having a wedding or event in the Orlando area.

Java Lava is exceptional in every way. They have a continental variety and serve breakfast, lunch and an assortment of unique refreshing blends from Fraps and cappuccinos to fruit smoothies. Their delivery is very fast and their service is always so personable and friendly that I am more than happy with waiting however long during lunch rush just to keep my loyalty to this place.
They offer some very tasty salads that might be on the higher side of calories but worth every bite. Their Southwest Chicken Salad is a must try and they also offer some great flat bread entrees. They are slightly over fairly priced but considering the location and convenience, its worth every penny.
Definitely a must try place.

Friendly staff. Fast service. Great food.
As one of my regular lunch places, I never get tired if the delicious summer salad at Java Lava. There is also a great lunch deal where you get a side salad, chips, or soup and a drink with your selections.

Sorry, not a fan of this place for breakfast. It came recommended from a friend. Different Strokes for different folks I guess. But I found the breakfast not to be exceptional and even the coffee wasn’t that good. My eggs were over cooked and the bacon was limp. Service was also kind of slow. It is bright and clean looking inside though. Maybe lunch is better?

Coffee and breakfast burrito to start your weekdays.
Huge sandwich selection.
Free WiFi. More soon.

Nice atmosphere. The froth on the cappuccino is the richest, thickest I’ve ever had. Great job!

I work close by and I religiously look at their weekly specials (they are posted online at the beginning of the week!) and have yet to be let down by any of them. I really love their flat breads, their soups and their wraps. The prices are great, they delivery very fast and always very friendly.

Stopped in to Java Lava for breakfast and my initial first impression remains validated. This is really a tasty spot. I enjoyed a Caribbean Veggie omelet on fresh Ciabatta bread. Rustic, flavorful and filling. My elder son ordered a meat lovers omelet and proclaimed it outstanding. Java Lava is a bit cavernous and lacking in interior design, but the staff is friendly and the food is top notch, reasonably priced and sustaining.

Just stopped in as it is convieniently located downtown, spacious and quiet in morning with nice view of Orlando passing by. Big windows and much natural lighting for the sunworshippers, as well as free wi-​fi for the technocentric.

Oh, Java Lava!
Your food is so yummy. Your service is hit or miss. Don’t get me wrong. Everyone here is really nice (especially the Bea Arthur look-​alike that mans the counter) and the food is fresh, tasty and well-​prepared. It’s just that sometimes… they forget to give it to you (it’s happened to me twice now).
I still keep going back, though. They do a new special each day and they don’t repeat from week to week, so you can find something unexpected any day you go. Their cookies are bigger than your head.
I particularly enjoy the Italian Pesto Flatbread (chicken, mozzarella & pesto) and their combos allow you to choose a small salad or chips OR a cookie and drink. No matter what I get it’s around $ 10.
They make all their own dressings and sauces in-​house which I like and there always seems to be a table no matter when you visit.

I’ve been to Java Lava a few times for lunch now that I work close. The customer service is great. There are definitely regulars, and I can see why based upon the friendly service. However, I wasn’t incredibly impressed with the food.

Their website makes this place look a lot nicer than it actually is. Their coffee is not that great, the roast they’re using falls on the burnt end of the spectrum. I had to use more sugar than I usually do in order to make it palatable. The menus they have up are small and confusing. There are better coffee places in Orlando.

I’m not a 9−5er, but if I were I’d probably visit this place pretty often for a lunch break.
Best kept secret time: Their iced coffee is delicious and cheap as hell. I’m talking less than two bucks for a 20 ounce cup. Outstanding.

I walked to Java Lava for lunch while on break from serving my civic duty, ie. Jury Duty. I got there at 11:45am and the place was pretty empty. The guy taking the orders was jovial and helped me decide between a few items.
I ended up settling on the Greek Souvlaki Open Face sandwich ($ 7.95). You could get either beef or chicken and I was advised the chicken was better so chose that. I made it a lunch combo for $ 1.50 more and got a drink and chicken dumpling soup. The sandwich was heaped high with fresh vegetables like cucumber, tomato, red onion and was drizzled with Herb Hummus, Feta Cheese & Tzatziki Sauce; delish! It was light yet filling, perfect for lunch. The chicken dumpling soup was wonderful too. It had a smooth, velvety texture and was comfortable and creamy.
Ordering was quick. You take a number to your seat and your food is brought out ASAP. There is an open kitchen so you can watch them preparing your food. As soon as noon hit the place filled up. There were a lot of regulars here; always a good sign. Everyone seemed to have a favorite dish and the staff was friendly and attentive.
