Java Lava Cafe

Coffee good but service erratic. Since previous man and young lass have been overseas the place has gone downhill. Vegetarian breakfast was $16.90 but was extremely disappointing. Online menu indicates ricotta cheese but none on plate. Half a slice of tomato received and minute amount of avocado - not acceptable. Another patron ordered Aussie breakfast but received no bacon which was on the menu. Third patron paid $13.95 for one lamb shank in a soup bowl of sauce. Our 4th patron arrived late and ordered last but the first of our group to order received her meal last. Service terrible. Opening hours are not as indicated online with them often closed just after 5 and Wednesday evening before 7. Won't be going there again unless previous staff return. The two stars given was mainly for the coffee.

My girlfriends and I went there because it offered gluten free options but when we looked at the menu, most of the options were breakfast. The waitress came over to us 6 times after we had ordered because they didn't have items we'd ordered. Two of us got daquiris and I would advise you against this if you dont like the taste of alcohol over the taste of fruit... We could only taste rum! Now lets get to the food...undercooked chips, awful sauces and nearly inedible meats. Not eating here again!

Friendly staff but we waited 20- 30 mins for a toasted sandwich and an omelette which i think is unreasonable. Our hot drinks were brought out 5 mins after ordering but food wasnt in sight. It seems my toasted sandwich had been made and left to get cold while the omelette was being prepared. I sent it back to get retoasted and was given a burnt top bread. I dont think they use a sandwich press they must grill it or something. Overall wasnt an enjoyable meal/ experience.

Okay, so the first time I visit this place a couple months ago, they give me peri peri chicken instead of hickory sauced chicken. I sent it back to the kitchen even though the waitress insisted it was correct. No, I hate chilli. I hate peri peri. And I know what hickory sauce tastes like. Send. It. Back. Tonight, we get home delivery and I order the same hickory sauced chicken. Guess what arrived? Yep. Peri peri chicken. Honestly, does the cook not know the difference between hickory sauce and peri peri sauce?! And what were the odds, huh? So I got my husband to ring them and they sent another meal to us -- this time hickory sauce. The food is really good when they get it right but I won't be ordering hickory chicken from there again. These things come in threes, you know...
