The Lava Expresso Bar, in Colbee Court Phillip and within walking distance of Woden is a cosy spot for coffee and a light lunch.

The coffee is good and it has a long sunny table at the front strewn with newspapers for relaxing and offers some interesting well priced, well sized toasties and fresh sandwiches (also good for sharing between two modest appetites).

Toasted options include sourdough fruit toast for $4.50, smashed avocado and Persian feta on sourdough $9….

…pulled pork burger (usually on a brioche) $11, but here on bread.

Fresh options include Tarragon chicken with mayo, semi dried tomatoes, cheddar and watercress $9 and vegetarian $8.50 with artichoke, roast capsicum, beetroot tzatziki and cheddar.
