REVIEW: java green & cafe green, DC

So if you're a vegan or for whatever reason have insane dietary restrictions you probably already know about Java Green (and Cafe Green which seems to refuse to open). The food is delicious- they have everything from soy based kimchi "chicken" to almond milk and dehydrated "fried" onion rings. They have slammin bento boxes and some of the best rice bowls in the cuty (whether you're a vegan or not). Honestly, I think some of it though, is really over the top and they food designers are more chemists than chefs. I feel like an ultra processed dehydrated "fried" onion ring defeats the purpose of being on a raw diet. Also, I don't even want to know whats in some of that vegan fake cheese. Either way, if that's your hustle then go for it- you'll find few options in the city that can even hold a candle to this joint. They have on fun outdoor patio but expect a line if you're heading there anytime near peak. PS management stinks and they owe my over $400 bucks from when I helped open Cafe Green and redesign their catering menu. Java Green 1020 19th Street Northwest Washington, DC 20036 - (202) 775-8899

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
