By far the best coffee I've tried in Houston. I had a cappuccino and tuna salad sandwich, which was also fantastic.

The drip coffee and it was good. We aren’t vegans, but we tried the lump crab (mushroom not crab) gumbo. The flavor was excellent. I’m not a fan of the vegan sausage in it, but otherwise it was very good. The service was great and the server was very friendly. It was a beautiful day to enjoy their outdoor seating. Inside was a little loud for us, but I’m old.PaulVegetarian options: All vegan.

Great food & service. The musubi salmon was great. The Hanoi egg coffee was good too. You should visit this cafe esp. if you are in the vicinity.

Small casual cafe tucked in the Asia Society Center without the usual museum markup prices. It has some unique drinks like the Hanoi Egg Coffee which was great if you like foamy drinks! Their breakfast panini was delicious! They have plenty of meatless options for vegetarians. It’s a nice quiet area and was not too crowded for Sunday brunch. Would be a nice place to fuel up for a day at Hermann Park.

Discreetly tucked into the Asia Society Center this little Cafe is a hidden gem. I ordered the avocado toast with a fried egg. The avocado was actually seasoned but not overly as was the egg. Toast was crunchy and held up well.. Totally delicious. Iced matcha latte was on point also.Vegetarian options: Great selections made with care.

I love the coffee, food and pasties at Java Lava. I drop in on a regular basis for a meal and other times grab a coffee to go. I also hosted a bridal shower and was very pleased with the buffet and attention Su and his staff provided. My guests were so complimentary of the food and venue.

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.

Cute, delicious, and a prefect lunch spot!Vietnamese coffee, baked mochi and crispy cod sandwich were a hit. Only ding, the cod tasted like it might have been frozen and not freshly breaded.
Super cute cafe with great service and interesting Asian inspired drinks!

Their old location was cute but this new place is stunning. Wish they stayed open just a tad later though!
