This is a mixed review, but overall, I can't recommend this place. The food is tasty, and the coffee is decent (although nothing to go out of your way to try). The vibe/atmosphere is pleasant. Unfortunately the staff treats you like a nuisance who is interrupting their conversation. The prices aren't high, they're outrageous. I noticed the suggested minimum tip is 18%, which seems like a lot for them to hand me an overpriced coffee. The cashier was noticably annoyed...

The food here is pretty average, but the coffee is excellent! I had a cappuccino and really enjoyed the flavor. The pastries are also quite good. What I love most about Java Nation is the cozy atmosphere, it’s a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. Just keep in mind that if you go on a weekend, it can get really crowded and the wait to order might be a bit long.
Ohhhh the coffee is absolutely great, especially the cappuccino! It was rich, smooth, and perfectly...

I’ve been a handful of times. Today was no different. I love their options - how they have wine & beer, AND cocktails if you’re feeling a little spunky.
Today I ordered a dine-in cortado (hot), and set of (2) beef empanadas, big slice of their honey cake, and the seasonal cardamom latte w/ orange zest (hot) to-go. All so delicious!!!
The staff were friendly, efficient, chill~
Yes, the tip thing can be “annoying” but there...
