The BEST local coffee shop. Always amazing service and fantastic coffee creations.

I recently visited Lava’s Javas & Treats and it quickly became one of my favorite cafés in town. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with cozy seating and a gentle aroma of freshly brewed coffee that instantly sets the mood for relaxation. It’s the kind of place where you can linger for hours—perfect for catching up with friends, reading a book, or simply enjoying a quiet moment. The star of the menu is undoubtedly their freshly baked bread. Each loaf is soft on the inside with a perfectly crisp crust, served warm and packed with flavor. Whether enjoyed plain, with butter, or as part of their creative sandwiches, the bread tastes homemade and is clearly baked with care. Pairing it with their excellent coffee makes for an unforgettable treat. The baristas know their craft well; every cup—whether a bold espresso, a creamy latte, or a smooth cold brew—is rich, aromatic, and beautifully prepared. Service here is just as impressive. The staff is friendly, attentive, and happy to recommend their favorites, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you love high-quality coffee and fresh, flavorful bread, Lava’s Javas & Treats is the ideal destination. I’ll definitely be returning soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful café experience.

One of the best coffees I've had - I got the mudslide frappe as a July special drink.

My friend surprised me with this amazing birthday cake! My grandma used to make me a doll cake every year for my birthday until she passed, so it was an extra special suprise this year! Thank you Laura and Lori for doing such a great job!

Lava's Coffee & Cafe in Harrisburg is the perfect, small town, local coffee shop where you can always count on conquering your caffeine cravings. But their offerings don't stop there. There is a huge array of smoothies available for the non-caffeinated consumers in your clan. There are always fresh, homemade and hand baked treats on hand, as well as a nice selection of bagels, muffins and sometimes scones available from other local merchants. The egg souffles are absolutely amazing if you're craving a nice savory breakfast (unfortunately, the COVID related supply chain issues have impacted their availability at present). The owners and employees are super friendly and make each beverage as professional baristas to your exact specifications. Be sure to enjoy your drinks and food in their sitting area, which is super cozy and suitable for visiting, relaxing, watching a movie, or even getting a little work done, using their free wi-fi. You'll even find jigsaw puzzles in progress and board games to help pass the time on a snowy winter's day (or a respite from the summer's heat). Enjoy Lava's, our family sure does!!!

My all time favorite coffee shop.They always make it how I like and price comparable to the chains. My only wish is they had a drive thru :p

The BEST local coffee shop. Always amazing service and fantastic coffee creations. Their monthly drinks are always fun to try and never disappoint.

Great place to get a coffee and hang out. We brought the kids in to play at the Sand Lot while we enjoyed our coffee. Mostly just drinks so not many food options but great coffee!
