This place has all the advantages of the Caffe Nero that it used to be without any of the disadvantages. In other word's it's spacious, has a variety of furniture and seating options (equally good spot for solo laptop work, relaxed book time, group meeting), lots of outlets, nice big windows, a great menu with reasonable price point. Compared to before the business turned over the coffee is better (IMO) and cheaper and the place no longer feels depressing in that way that carbon copy coffee franchises do. The people who work here are so nice and there is always a place to sit! In fact it's too easy to find a spot—please visit Cafe Lava and Bento and support this business so that we can keep them around.

Love this place. Maybe the best cafe to work from in boston. Very spacious with lots of seating, music is quiet, every seat has an outlet, wifi is good (it may be perfect?) Also food and coffee is very nice too. Really good Vietnamese iced coffee and they also make tasty banh mi sandwiches.

So much seating + very spacious cafe. It’s a great option for WFH (wifi, tables, low music volume), but there are also cozy couches. Will be back for food, but I had good Vietnamese coffee :)

Such a cute place and the owner is so kind! Lots of outlets, varied seating, and wifi for doing work and not a lot of people. The vietnamese coffee is very authentic, I had the chefs special sea salt shaker and it was very potent and creamy. I have never seen mushroom spring rolls before and wow they are seasoned well! There are vegetarian options and pastries as well.

I cannot say enough nice things about this cafe!!!!! Huge dining space with plenty of chargers, comfy booths or chairs, great deals for combos, and a wide variety of food that's literally so good it's stupid. They stay open later than most places and their staff is always very polite and kind!!

I ordered the grilled salmon bento, but the food I received looked completely different from the picture shown. I was disgusted and very disappointed.

This place never fails to be yummy. The mushrooms and salmon are delicious and the staff is absolutely lovely. Smoothies are very creamy too!

they made me an iced latte with spoiled milk. 2 stars because they offered to remake, but quality is bad there.
