Meet Simona Cabana, who launched Java Nation in Kensington and has expanded it to the Pike District, Kentlands and Silver Spring! This is more than a coffee shop as Java Nation has a menu inspired by diverse cultures and traditions offering flatbreads, handcrafted pastas, burgers and salads. 

“We expanded our first Java Nation to North Bethesda because we saw an opportunity to bring our unique approach to coffee, food, and community to a vibrant and growing area.... Plus, the area is home to a lot of individuals who truly appreciate high-quality coffee, artisanal food, and a welcoming atmosphere."  -- Simona Cabana.
