About Island Lava Java

Get to know us

As a family-owned business, Island Lava Java is all about community, quality, and spreading aloha. Since our humble beginnings in Kailua-Kona back in 1994, our scratch kitchen bistro has been a cherished establishment. Our commitment to using fresh, local, organic, and sustainable ingredients shines through in every dish, from our estate-grown 100% Kona coffee to our freshly squeezed juices, delightful scratch creations, and irresistible house-baked desserts and pastries.
