Decent coffee spot inside Catamaran Hotel - good for quick coffee or latte or a bagel, DO NOT order the breakfast burrito, it was awful.

Went here the other morning and the coffee tops/cups don’t work and drip alll over!! You don’t notice it at first and then you just have little drips of coffee all over your shirt! Super annoying and not tourist/on the go friendly. Had to deal with little drops of coffee constantly coming out from the seam of the cup and all around the rim because the tops are so cheap. Dripping on your hand/sleeve etc.

Absolutely horrible. Came down to get coffee at 8:30 am. The menu board was covered with butcher paper, so I thought maybe they were limited with their drink availability. So I asked the girl working what they had. She was so condescending in her reply, she clearly doesn’t belong in a customer-facing position. I ended up ordering a small latte and two small hot chocolates — it was $22 for those 3 items! The coffee was okay, the hot chocolates were lukewarm and watery. They also offered danish and breakfast items, each priced at $5.75+ each. Waters were $4. Obviously we expect a small premium for convenience but this was outrageous. Never, ever again.

A coffee shop that doesn't sell coffee. I spent a week at the Catamaran where this place is located. The shop could have served a highly caffienated group of attorneys, if it was open and working. But it wasn't. 1:00 pm between sessions it was closed completely. Every other time the espresso machine and milk steamer were both supposedly nonfunctional. It seemed more like the staff just didn't want to make drinks. Walk a block to the Cafe 20/20 it is totally worth it.

Coffee was pretty good. Breakfast burrito was not worth the price. The tortilla got stuck to the wrapper and was not very edible. Over priced, but I guess you pay for the convenience when staying at the hotel.

The coffee here is crazy delicious. I think I visited Lava Java twice a day for my caffeine fix while staying at the Catamaran. There is an awesome lady, with blonde hair, working there that is so kind and friendly. Kudos to you for being so up and outgoing with your customers. I will say the high quality coffee can leave you waiting in line but it's worth it.

Today, I grabbed a latte from Lava Java, and specified “oat milk” when placing my order with the male employee. I also asked for light ice. Pretty simple order. I then heard the female employee who was making my drink make a sarcastic comment about me asking for light ice. Ok no big deal, who cares.As I walked away, taking one sip of the drink, I immediately realized it was made with cow milk. I approached the two employees and asked in a friendly manner if they had by chance used regular milk rather than oat milk. The female employee who made my drink gave me a dirty look and said “yea because that’s what you ordered, you ordered regular milk”. I stood in silence for a moment as I was pretty surprised by the negative reaction to my friendly question. The male employee chimed in with “yea you definitely asked for regular milk”.I ignored the fact that these employees were giving me the death stare while lying to me, as if I don’t know what I ordered, and I asked if they could remake the drink with oat milk. The male employee stated that he would have to charge me for an entire drink again to remake it. The female continued to state that she knows I ordered regular milk…I have actually never had an experience like this before where I was friendly despite receiving an incorrect order and being told I’m wrong by employees speaking sarcastically and giving me dirty looks. And then trying to charge me again for THEIR mistake!I seriously regret leaving these employees a tip, as they clearly did not deserve it.UPDATE: Catamaran just replied to my review, with a copy and paste style reply…without reaching out to me to offer any remedy for this terrible experience. Even after leaving two separate voicemails for two managers, I have not received a call back.

rude service :( and bad watered down coffee. not good quality...does not compare to any good coffee. I'm sorry I spent money there. The product is one thing, service is another. Worst service I had in a while. Sara

Wow. $4.00 down the drain. Truly bad, machine generated coffee that looked nothing like in the pictures. I usually never throw food away but in this case had to make an exception. Avoid if you like your coffee drinkable.
The worst espresso we have ever had. Either their espresso machine wasn't working properly or the barista desperately needed training. Pastries also left quite a bit to be desired, given this IS located in a resort.

Meal was great, we started with the Seared Crab Cake and for main course we had Striped Bass and Short Rib Lasagna, I don't know which one was better. For drinks I had a Rum Mojito and my husband a Passion Fruit Margarita, both were so good, very fresh ingredients. Denise our server was fantastic!!!.
