Java Nation is more than a café, it's a vibrant social space where neighbors gather to enjoy exceptional coffee, globally influenced food and warm hospitality.
Whether you are looking for a quick morning coffee, a lunch with colleagues or a lively evening with family & friends, Java Nation has something for everyone. Since opening the doors of our first location in 2012, we have dedicated ourselves to building spaces that are comfortable and inviting and that reflect the rich diversity of our community's cultures.
In 2012, Java Nation's founder, Henry Cabana, realized the need to create a quality coffee shop in Kensington. Together with his wife, Simona, the two envisioned creating a space where the traditional European charm of coffee would be paired with the rich coffee culture of South America.
In 2014, this vision came to life in our first location on Connecticut Avenue, laying the foundation for what Java Nation is today.
At Java Nation we believe in the ability of food and coffee to bring people together. Our menu reflects the diversity of cultures and traditions that surround us, offering both classic cuisine and original culinary creations.
Sourced worldwide and roasted in-house to ensure the highest quality in every cup we serve.
Using the freshest ingredients our region has to offer and working with local vendors and local artists.
Everyone is welcome. Whether to get some work done on your laptop, enjoy Happy Hour with friends, or a quiet family dinner.
Over the years, Java Nation has expanded to serve more and more communities.
Java Nation established as company and the Cabanas began to create vision for its first location.
Our flagship cafe opens in Kensington in April, offering the neighborhood a specialty coffee experience and freshly made food.
We begin roasting specialty green coffee in Kensington, moving to a larger facility in Urbana years later to meet the growing demand.
A new cafe opens offering a full range of dishes and a bar menu, becoming a local favorite for casual gatherings and live music nights on our outdoor patio.
The third location of Java Nation opens, serving all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner with Happy Hour and cocktails. Surrounded by premium eateries we offer an all-in-one experience to the neighborhood.
Our culinary team moves into a dedicated space to craft desserts, butcher freshest meats, make our own deli products to supply all our stores with local and made from scratch products.
Our first dual concept opens with Java Market for grab-and-go options, and Restobar for a full table service experience.
Whether you're stopping by for your morning coffee, enjoying a leisurely brunch, or attending one of our live events, Java Nation is here to serve as your home away from home. We invite you to be part of our story and experience the warmth, flavor, and community that define us.
