Java Nation has opened at 1010 Wayne Ave in Silver Spring and it is a bit different than I was expecting. I'm used to the White Flint / North Bethesda location which has a full menu and alcohol but you order at the counter. The Silver Spring location is a full restaurant where you sit down and they take your order at the table.
It is really nice with a good bit of outdoor seating. I went there on Wednesday and tried a few of their appetizers, the Spinach & Artichoke dip (good, but needs more baguette pieces), Vegetable Empanadas, and a Margherita flatbread. All very tasty. They also have salads and burgers and entrees. Another neat thing they have is a Margarita flight with four different flavors of margaritas. I really liked the spicy watermelon one. None of the margaritas were sweet, so if you like sweet ones this is not the place.
They also have lots of bakery items and a brunch menu. Of course, they also sell coffee.
