I stopped by here yesterday with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee. Whenever we are traveling we like to try local coffee houses and since we were in Seaside Heights on this morning we went to Lava Java. This coffee shop is a tiny place located on Route 35. The inside was busy on this day with no real seating, a pastry display case and a small area selling Mud Coffee. Then outside they had plenty of places to sit. For my coffee on this morning I went with a large latte and my wife went with a small mocha. I also decided to get us a pork egg and cheese sandwich to split. After maybe a 10 minute wait or so, we had our coffees and were on our way. My coffee here ended up being ok. I feel like it had more milk than coffee and so while I knew that the coffee was there, I had a difficult time finding it. Thankfully the pork, egg and cheese sandwich was better. While a little pricey at $9 it was large and I enjoyed the ham and melted American cheese on it. My wife did enjoy her coffee though. The bottom line for me is that I might head back here again in the future. While I wasn't a huge fan of my coffee, I did enjoy the breakfast sandwich. read more
