Finally checked out this place after seeing the sign about to open a year or so ago... and then…read moreforgot all about it until I saw IG post. Beautiful ample dining inside and plenty of spaces outdoor as well. I did order mine to go, got pistachio latte and mango mousse, but ended up sitting outside to enjoy a little bit of relax moment. Delicious latte and dessert. The mango mousse dessert isn't like what I'm used to, not as soft but more dense and put together but still equally delicious! Would definitely revisit and dine in next time. Parking available on the street if you're lucky, but it's located right by the garage using park mobile!

This place has been around for a good bit now and the food delivers!…read more The restaurant has plenty of parking. It's easy to find the inside is a casual dining, ambience, and environment. However, I would say that the music plays from a little Bluetooth on the corner of the restaurant and it's not the greatest quality, would cut in and out, and it was just blaring way too loud, making it hard to have regular conversations. Service wasn't too bad overall. There was only one weight staff who had all the tables in the restaurant which made her spread out pretty thin. But we wouldn't get regular refills or Water and took so long to get water (waiting up to 20 min to try to get her attention) and at the end of our time together she finally gave us a pitcher of Water, but a little late as we're most done. Also, it took a while to get basic things we had ordered coffee but either she forgot to bring us coffee or she didn't ring it in and we weren't able to get it until after our food was delivered. So service, while she was friendly and kind, our service was definitely subpar. Hopefully this wasn't bc she had automatic tip bc our party was so large for her lack of service. 1/5 for service The food was amazing for the most part. I had gotten the salmon BLT and it was moist and tender with good flavor and seasoning, and the bread had a great texture and flavor to it as well. The bacon was nice and smoky and the sauce that was paired with it made it great. The hashbrowns were so crispy and seasoned with great flavor and salt! This was a winner! 4.5/5 Yeah, I got a bunch of other dishes, but I only tried small bites here and there of other people stuff. What I would say, is that the Cajun pasta shrimp was cooked perfectly and was tender and had great flavor! And that sauce was amazing! The sausage I tried wasn't the best but decent! We got biscuits and wings as appetizers, and the wings were great, good flavor, good crunch, and a decent size. However, there needs to be more wings in the order for the price. The hot honey sauce as good! 4/5 The biscuits were pretty moist and had a great texture and consistency, You get two for the order! 4/5 Overall, the food is pretty amazing. However, the service was pretty bad. Maybe this was a one off but just prepared for a long waits for everything from water to getting a drink order.

My friend had caramel latte and chicken waffles, which she said was also great. Would love to come back trying other items on menu.

The restaurant…read morefeatures comfortable seating and a large bar that effectively divides the space, accommodating both diners and those working on laptops. We decided to order breakfast to-go. Although there was a line, it moved quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. We tried the 12oz lattes, which were decent but could use a little extra flair to elevate the flavor. On the bright side, the Sweet Corn Waffle and the Waffles with Fresh Berries were both absolutely delicious and a highlight of our meal.

The place was a bit difficult to find. So I called the phone number but it wasn't working. Finally…read moreI found it. It was in front of the Silver Spring library in a separate island on its own. It's a bit difficult to describe but if you walk on the Fenton St, you ll see little flags/banners (attached in my pictures). Follow them and go past the railing and the store is on the first floor. It's confusing because the address is 900 Wayne but it is easier to get to from Fenton. They could use a small banner on Wayne. The place itself is okay. The cronuts and bagels were fine. Nothing special. The seating inside was a bit odd. The barista area looked pretty clean though. The service was fast. There wasn't enough variety of food. If you want a quick bagel and coffee, it is okay but otherwise I would pass.

One day again!!! I stopped by last week after having had it bookmarked for some time. I was really impressed with the space and the vibe although there was no indoor dining.

I would definitely come back.

Java Nation was the perfect spot for a morning catch-up with a new business friend. We originally…read moremet at a strategic planning event last year and decided this was the ideal place to reconnect over coffee--and it did not disappoint. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a great conversation. While we didn't eat much this visit, the menu is incredibly robust and tempting enough that we've already decided to come back next month for our next check-in. Another huge plus: convenient parking nearby and easy access to the Metro, which makes meeting up here simple and stress-free. Java Nation strikes a great balance between a welcoming café and a productive meeting spot. Whether you're grabbing coffee, planning your next move, or just enjoying the neighborhood vibe, this is a solid go-to.

Yet, they have the gall to program their payment for a tip starting at 18% on top of the additional fee for using their credit card payment. The staff working on Sunday acts like you're bothering her when you're trying to place an order or ask her anything. It is really unfortunate because the Key Lime Pie and coffee taste decent but not sure if the food is good enough to compensate for the crappy attitude. Please consider hiring people who actually enjoy providing customer service. Their steak burrito was right up their with anything in the frozen food section. Banana loaf was dry, otherwise would be good when fresh. For faster and much more friendly service, stick with Starbucks. And if you still prefer their coffee, make sure you taste it before walking out so you don't just pay $1+tip+fee for syrup they forget to add. The service at the dining section is friendlier but slow as molasses on the weekend.

We had the breakfast eggs and pancakes, and the pesto chicken sandwich and were happy with both. My favorite of the trip was the old bay fries, the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte, and of course their HUGE game selection. Definitely a fun and welcoming atmosphere for a date night or meet up with a group of friends to try new games. Flagging that each person pays ~$6 for the games. But they do have discount nights advertised.
