Enjoyed our visit, two companions very happy with their skinny flat white mugs, my full milk one could have been a bit creamier. Glasses and water would be appreciated but will recommend the experience.

Without a doubt the best coffee in the area, regardless of your preferred brew. Open early for your before work hit, and the vibe is as good as the drinks. They’ve introduced a sparkling long black as an option for the warmer months. Definitely worth making your regular if you call Weston home, or work brings you here.

Wow, what a great place to grab coffee in the mornings. Small, but buzzing with activity from locals on their way off to work or the gym. Honestly, given the surroundings it seems odd they’d have such great coffee. They’re also fast. I can park out the back, and always get my coffee within 5 mins. Coffee’s hot but not too hot, and never bitter. Young staff doing a great job deserve lots of custom, and will keep getting mine. Props guys!

Very nice coffee! Had a latté and my friend had a chai latté. Definitely the best coffee in Weston Creek. Very nice interior and well made coffee. Both of our coffees had well presented rossettas on top, and the Capp and Mocha that another customer ordered had excellent latté art on top.

Leaving Barton for the wilds of Weston I was concerned leaving behind the excellent coffee of the Kingston Grind. I needn’t have been. Thanks to Hugh Evan’s review I had my first outing to Lava yesterday and ordered a double shot espresso. It was as it should be… smooth and sweet. The two staff were friendly and keen to get my impression. I have found my new regular. I’ll be back.

This time of year their store is as cold as it is bright during the summer months. This however does not dampen their enthusiasm for being open at 7am and eagerly serving a very smooth espresso followed up attentively with a “How was that?”

The answer? It was *really* good.

Attentive youthful fellows serving short, strong espressi. East-facing with a sliding-door glass wall, so sitting in your repro Eames plywood chair having a morning doppio can be blindingly bright: bring your sunglasses. Certainly the classiest coffee shop in the area.

I might add, they have WiFi and good funky background music. Can get a bit bright (for screen work) and hot when the sun shines through the door. I suspect that this could be nice in winter though.

This is a new cafe in Weston. Fairly groovy interior with nice furniture and fitout.

Large latte was nice, and strong. A little on the cool side, but I prefer that to overhot/scalded.

Lava is a good option if you want a cafe in Weston with a bit of vibe that isn’t in a mall.
