In the lively streets of Mabalacat City, a one-of-a-kind destination has steadily captured the hearts of coffee lovers and tech enthusiasts alike.
Lava Craze began as a small stall in the Lakandula flea markets, but today it stands proudly as one of Pampanga’s most talked-about café and gadget hubs.
Founded by Angeleño Rodrigo Bernal in 2022, Lava Craze is more than a coffee shop. It is a story of passion, perseverance, and homegrown craftsmanship. Nearly everything on their menu is handmade, from the luscious whipped cream and artisanal ice creams to the sticky rice, pudding, sauces, pasta, and bread. Each item is a labor of love crafted by Bernal, his family, and their close business partners.
“We love to eat, cook, and experiment. That is why we make sure to create our menu based on what we genuinely love,” shared Bernal.
His mother contributed several original recipes, helping shape a menu that blends comfort with creativity.
Their handcrafted drinks and desserts have become crowd favorites. Among the bestsellers are the Lava Craze Mango, Matcha, and Cheesecake Series, each offering a rich, satisfying experience that keeps customers coming back.
Inside the spacious space-themed café, guests find an atmosphere that invites both relaxation and exploration. In the café, Lava Craze also operates Estilo Pinas, an in-house gadget store where customers can purchase Apple products and other tech gadgets at below-SRP prices.
Visitors can enjoy their desserts while shopping for their next device, combining two beloved experiences under one roof. From their handmade treats to their thriving tech boutique, Lava Craze stands as a proud symbol of how perseverance, creativity, and family roots can transform a small dream into a celebrated reality.
Open daily from 2:00 PM to 12:00 midnight, Lava Craze welcomes everyone to dine, shop, and experience the local flavors and spirit. Their location is at 06 Macapagal St, Brgy Lakandula, Mabalacat City.
