    Nice decor and ambiance of this coffee place. Free WiFi and lot of space if you like to socialize with friends. Quick service.

    Honey Lavender Specialty Latte
    Thea W.

    I recently found out I'm lactose and it's turned my world upside down. I was SO happy they had an almond milk option!!! The honey lavender latte is soo delicious I'd love to try it cold too! The girlies helped with recommendations and it came out so quickly. You can definitely hangout here, study or play games. Definitely recommend!

    I would definitely recommend this place for the ambience, appropriate mood music and good taste with intentional interior. If you are lucky there are at least two chairs with the soft tushy cushions but the rest are the hard wooden hemorrhoid haters but at least it's someplace to sit. The personnel were nice people and would take and make your order promptly and without a frown. My cappuccino was good as well as my son's green mocha Hulk monster or whatever he had but the takeaway here for me is they need to take that cheese and tomato soup off the menu! Horrendous as you can see in a picture, it does not do the picture justice. It's just toasted bread with cheese slapped in the middle of it and some semi water down Tomatoes Campbell Soup. It's okay who goes to a coffee shop just to order comfort food like that? Well I mistakenly thought maybe somebody in the family had a secret recipe that they could surprise and unsuspecting customer but not this one my friend not this one. Parking lot is ample and it sits in the strip center of the Asian Town off of 99 and I-10.

    Go to coffee spot in Katy Asia Town. Only wish is they would open earlier during the day so I would be able to grab the drinks on the way to my morning commute. All coffees are extremely flavorful on their lattes. Their snacks have always been tasty as well. In terms of fresh brands for espresso machines, the beans are a bit bitter to my liking and I would prefer notes with nuts and chocolate opposed to acidic flavors.

    Sparkling Blueberry Lavender Lemonade for pop up event
    Mimi T.

    My best friend and I came to visit for the first time with our kids for a blind box pop up event. I enjoy events like these when they are hosted at coffee shops. They are located in a complex in Katy Asia Town area which has plenty of parking. There was a variety of sitting areas for small or big groups. The staff was friendly & didn't rush us when I had to take time to look at the menu and pastry display. We both got themed drinks, sparkling blueberry lavender lemonade & coconut cold brew with coco cold foam with variety of macarons. Both drinks were really good and the macarons were slightly hard since we rushed to eat them without thawing but they were very tasty! The decor was fun to look through especially the coffee cups on the display! The pop up event was very cute and we stayed for about an hour. Hope to check this cafe out again!

    The only coffee place that piqued my interest in the Katy area when I was doing my research. Cute & cozy but a bit loud; not the best place if you want to take an online meeting. They do have plenty of outlets if you plan on staying a while. Their 12 SPECIALTY LATTES with unique names & flavorings all sound amazing. The SEASONAL ones will change out so it gives you an excuse to come back often to see what new ones they have. You can add CBD for an extra $3, alternative milk 0.99, & size upgrade for 0.50 - TOFFEE MOON: sea salt caramel toffee, buttermmon, & bourbon maple make for a creamy robust drink. - VIOLET MOON: one of the seasonal lattes, with lavender, buttermmon, & oat milk. Was a little sweet for my preference but with an extra shot it would be perfect. I'm pretty sure you can also request it a little less sweet. They have a bookcase of MANGA & novels that you can read while dining in. They also have a couple of board games. They do serve food & pastries for you to snack on.

    Iced Chai Latte
    Mary P.

    This is a great coffee shop!! The staff was incredibly friendly!! I got an iced chai latte with oat milk and a butter croissant warmed up. The chai was DELICIOUS!!! I haven't had a chai that good in a while, so whoever made it shout out to you! The butter croissant was also really flaky and had a good butter taste so I really enjoyed it. There were lots of tables for working or meeting with friends. It was kinda chilly so bring a jacket. If I'm ever in Katy, I will 100% stop at this shop :)

    Great spot and Katie to grab coffee and study. They have a decent amount of seating, friendly service, and great drink drinks.! I would come back.

    French Toast Latte
    Colton P.

    Nice ambiance with books, manga, and board games. Also a selection of pins and handmade charms for sale. Got the Salty Sweetie and the French Toast Latte to drink and a buttered croissant and a ham and cheese pocket. Came out very quick ~5 minutes. The salty sweetie wasn't as sweet as I would've liked, but the French toast latte was very good! Both of the pastries we got were both alright, but honestly tasted the same as you can get from any other shop. The barrista was also very nice! The only thing I felt that was special about this coffee shop was the small selection of books and manga they had. If you want to come and read manga while you get some coffee I'd recommend it, other than that I'd say it's a pretty average experience.

    I don't know how, but they completely forgot our order. I noticed after we placed our order, everyone who came in after us got their drink already. When I asked the girl she gasped in shock, so they clearly forgot. We waited about 20 min for drinks when it wasn't busy. I got the iced honey lavender latte. It was ok and I wouldn't be back to this coffee shop. There are too many other good boba/coffee shops in the area.

    Toffee Moon Latte

    The Toffee Moon Latte with oat milk was so good yesterday that I had to comeback the next day! It did not disappoint! Lava Coffee has a nice area for work, relaxing vibe, and some pretty cool baristas. I will certainly be back.

    So I have been coming to this cafe for about 5 months now. I always loved the atmosphere, drinks and food however, an incident today has made me extremely upset. My friend and I ordered 3 drinks ( one extra for our friend) 2 house sandwiches and one avocado toast. While waiting for our sandwiches we heard one of the employees yell ( I also saw the employee but I won't call her out ) " 3 SANDWICHES WHO THE F ORDERS 3 SANDWICHES" and make a fuss. I guess another customer had ordered a sandwich but we only ordered two. As someone who has also worked 5 years in retail I understand the annoyance of sometimes doing your job. However do not make it aware to your customers !! I'm sorry it was inconvenience for you to do your job. I like this place but I won't be coming here again because now I feel like an inconvenience. Great place to study tho if you only order a drink

    Blackberry vanilla latte. Sooo good  Not too sweet
    Kristy S.

    Easy parking. The blackberry vanilla latte (hot) with almond milk is sooo good. Creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. Decor was nice. My daughter liked looking at the decorated cups. I'll be back to try other flavors.

    This place is huge! It's a cafe in the front and yoga (I think) studio in the back behind closed…read moredoors. The cafe is huge and spacious with lots of seating. This is a great place to come study or do work on your computer. Some tables have outlets too. The service was good. No complaints. I came here because I heard their matcha is good. Each matcha is $8.5. They claim to use ceremonial grade matcha but under the matcha latte list, there is only one drink labeled CG (ceremonial grade) while others do not. The CG is the basic and they use agave for sweetening. They also don't hand mix per cup. It is pre-batched. I'm not a pre-batch hater although I do prefer each cup to be hand mixed, so I will give it a chance if it tastes good. The CG latte was surprisingly smooth and pretty good! Not bitter at all imo, but it was slightly grainy. They used the perfect amount of agave to balance. It wasn't sweet either. Just perfect balanced flavor for a regular CG matcha latte. The other matcha latte I ordered was the banana. It is SO GOOD! A lot grainier than the CG, though. But I would definitely order that again if I come to Katy. It has a cinnamon flavor in it (probably why it felt grainier than CG) and mixed with the banana flavor was just very yummy. Highly recommend!

I was just in town for the weekend for a friend's baby shower and I swear they have some great places to eat and drink in this area. Very cute little spot and most everything is as usual credit card base and touch screens. I was going to go to the counter but decided to go to the touch screen so I could browse through the menu. I hate when I'm at a new place and don't know what I want gives me anxiety...lol So I got the limited horchata milk tea 50% sweet and a small order of karaaga (spelled wrong I'm sure) chicken and when I tell you the chicken came out popping hot! Wow so good! Even at 50% the milk tea was not too sweet so I might could have went up to maybe 75% or they do have the option to use a sugar free substitute. So that's a great option only if it's stevia..lol. I can't stand Splenda just gross.. When I visit Katy I will definitely stop by again and try a few other items. Service was quick and friendly!

The worker, whose name I believe is Eric, SNIFFED my drink through the straw and said that it's Sugarcane and gave it back to me.....He then said he wouldn't remake it because it smells like it...Huh..? I walked out in shock because, what? Out of all the boba spots that I have been to, never has anyone smelled my drink. In fact, I used to work at a boba shop and never has it occurred to me to smell a drink and not remake it for a customer. Like, I don't know what methods you use to confirm ingredients but you couldn't even take the drink to the back to smell it? You did it in front of my face? I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?

I like what I like, just as others like what they like. So I wasn't sure what I was going to get stuck with. So on the way to the outskirts of Katy, we stopped in at Ding Tea. Let me tell you how busy this area was on a beautiful Sunday before lunar New Year. There wasn't a single parking space to be had in three different lots. There was traffic everywhere in people. Do not drive well when they're looking for a parking spot. People just stopped in the middle of the parking lot and didn't move. Waiting for someone to walk out of a building. Super annoying. Luckily, Ding Tea is located behind lot of the larger restaurants and the golf course and other super busy areas. There was a parking spot waiting for me out front and it was easy to get in and out. We ended up getting a tea to share, and two to go with us to the party. We also got an order of the popcorn chicken. I wish they would have it a little bit spicier on its own, without having to dip it into things. A little seasoning goes a long way! The staff were also super nowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and efficient. Will definitely be back, but not on lunar new year. So busy!!
