Lava Java

Appears to have opened in 1996, by owners Carl Curry and Michael Kean II with the address 319 1st. (I am not sure which building this was located in, the IOOF building on the east or the one-story on the west.)

The retro atmosphere coffeehouse served espresso and food in a place that encouraged customers to hang out into the night.
