Lava Java House has been a Lavallette staple since 2015, known for its house blend "Happy Larry" (named after co-owner Larry Adams), an extensive list of coffee flavors and lattes, and a breakfast/lunch menu with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Dogs are welcome on the several dog-friendly chairs in the tropical front garden patio area, genuinely social too, reviewers mention dogs saying hi to other patio guests. It's a block from the beach, open year-round, and popular enough that summer weekend lines can get long, regulars recommend the side coffee window for a quicker iced coffee grab.
