Java Nation

I am married to a wonderful lady with approximately 8 billion food allergies and sensitivities. That makes going out to eat a stressful, depressing affair where there's at most one thing on the menu that she can eat. Java Nation is the happy exception! The menu has quite a sizable selection of gluten free and/or vegan options, and just as importantly, every staff person we interacted with was on top of our need for modified food. Every single item came out properly prepared the first time, which happens at other restaurants a lot less often than you'd believe. We will definitely be coming back.

Java Nation is one of my favorite local spots. The staff are so friendly, the ambience is delightful, and the food is always delicious. I have a gluten allergy and they are always incredibly intentional about gf options. Staff are knowledgeable and proactively ask about allergies and offer allergen free options. Would give six stars if I could :)

I recently visited the Silver Spring location on a Sunday during brunch. I had the mushroom spinach omelet, home fries, and a green matcha with almond milk. The service at the bar was amazing! I also ordered their holiday feast. The manager demonstrated outstanding customer service by making some adjustments to the menu to make the meal gluten-friendly. The holiday meal was absolutely delicious. I will certainly be back for the key lime pie!
