I like this place. Food seems to be thought out and prepped with thought behind it. Really chill, doesn't get to rowdy, great place to have a drink and work on the laptop. Coffee and espresso is good as well.

A little pricey but that's almost all of Kentlands. Definitely recommend.

I always enjoy going to Java Nation. The food, service and of course coffee are all reliably consistent and reliably high quality. I want to give a shout out to the barista who made my cappuccino this morning, as the cappuccino art was amazing!

Cozy (but well lit by the big windows) and airy dining room. Has outdoor seating. Delicious coffee with non dairy options. Nice people at your service and not a long wait. Yes, please!
