What an amazing alternative to the unhealthy, un-conscientious places to eat in the "golden triangle" of DC!  It's a bit pricey, but considering that Java Green offers creative all-organic all-vegan cuisine, offsets its carbon use through windpower, and uses all bio-degradable lunchware, it's well worth the price.  Unfortunately, Java Green is a bit out of my way for weekday lunch, but I finally made it in this week to try it out.  The line was out the door and the tables were filled - I was happy to see an organic vegan place doing so well and hopeful that the food might be equally exciting. 

I ordered the "jobche" which, I realized after ordering, at other korean restaurants is spelled "jap chae."  This was a mistake, as I'm not the biggest fan of jap chae.  But, as I sat down and scanned the other tables I noticed that almost everything everyone else was eating looked and smelled really good.  My jobche came and it was just ok - it's mostly noodles, which I'm not fond of - I wish there had been more veggies. 

So, my "just ok" meal aside, I highly recommend Java Green, particularly if you've been surviving on fast food for lunch in the Farragut North area.  Everything's organic (awesome!), the staff is friendly, and they have lots of shady outdoor seating.  Aaand, an added bonus, the clientele is rather cute and clearly conscientious (if, on average, a bit older than the average intern). 

So, go!  They're open early to grab food before work, and they stay open most nights til 8.  They have vegan brunch on Saturdays which looks good, but are closed Sunday. www.javagreen.net
