    First time at IKEA in Maryland. We came to walk in the AC bc it's 95° and to get fro-yo. Lo and behold, the Fro-Yo machine is out of order. AND they were out of mashed potatoes and was serving rice its place. Lastly, I could not order individual items. I had to get the meal and I only wanted the plant balls and some toast. Anyway, off to stay cool.

    Hej!  It's an Ikea Veggie Dog!
    Paul J.

    Stopping into Ikea for some furniture exploration, we took a break at the cafe, and I tried an Ikea Veggie Dog. Not the Plant Dog, but the veggie dog. To be honest, I'm not sure I know the exact difference between the two, but I think the Plant Dog is a faux meat concoction whereas the Veggie Dog is clearly a sausage of vegetables and whole grains. Whatever it was, the Veggie Dog was delicious! A little ketchup and mustard, and a cup of Lingonberry juice, and I was firmly in Ikea's culinary grip. Next time I'm at Ikea, I'm looking forward to another Veggie Dog. You should try one, too!

    Small breakfast

    Came here just as the doors opened for a special event. Though there is a blocked off areas until regular store hours start one can still go up the stairs to the cafe and back down to ground level via elevator. Cafeteria was airy, plenty of sunlight shining in. The seating area had clean minimalist furniture. The food line was well organized with desserts on the side and mains in the back. Got a small breakfast with black coffee. For pocket change one can get breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs and 2 slices of bacon. Bacon was very crisp and not greasy. Eggs tasted like powder or box eggs but still good. Potatoes were cubed, fried till crispy and seasoned well. Coffee was good quality

    Swedish meatballs
    Clara K.

    This is a nostalgic place for me and my daughter. We ate here a few times when we came to shop during her childhood. It's surprisingly tasty and budget-friendly. We love their Swedish meatballs! The flavor has not changed. It is always clean with plenty of seating.

    Swedish meatballs and French fries

    IKEA College Park, MD 10100 Baltimore Ave, College Park, MD 20740 Daily 10AM - 8PM restrooms are next to the dining area in the store, kids friendly restrooms and accessible for both strollers and wheelchairs. accessible for strollers and wheelchairs free parking lot around the building ℹ ikea.com This visit focused on tasting the new meals, at least new to us! We got the usual Swedish meatballs with peas and mashed potatoes, and they always the best meal! The 2nd meal is the chicken with black beans and fried banana, this is new for us but amazingly delicious! The chicken is soft and tender, all the herbs marinated well inside and out, the black beans are soaked and filled with the soup. The fried banana is the perfect side dish to complement the meal, they are sweet savory and crunchy at the same time. The 3rd meal is the chicken wrap in vegetable, also delicious and very filling despite the size. The warping are at the maximum of the wrapper, so full with everything inside. Don't underestimate them. The next side dish is a must, the french fries is awesome! Crispy and crunchy at the same time, full with flavor! The serving line for the restaurant went smoothly and pretty fast. For the dessert, always get their ice cream at the cafe in the ground floor. The cafe serving line was awesome using electronic order. #ikeacollageparkmd #ikearestaurant #ikeamd #preservefootprints

    Normally, I would flag this as a four or five star experience because the food is normally great. The team is always helpful and the tables are always clean, however this go round, one star is deserved. We have been waiting over 45 minutes in a line to get lunch, which unfortunately is not an option because of the addition of hungry children, and there has been little to no movement across this entire situation. We're unclear what the issue is, I've also called the store overall, asked for management to come yet nothing. It is preposterous to have waited this long to get a meal while shopping, and then to know that we're going to spend more money in the store after we've done spending money and TIME just to get food. This is maddening. Not OK, IKEA step it up!

    Eggs, plantains and blueberry scone
    Mimi I.

    Updating review, just on the restaurant. Seems like they are downsizing on a lot of things. The grocery store doesn't have as many items now, which is too bad. Breakfast items at the restaurant seemed smaller (less of it) too. One plus is they've added plantains and scones. Plantains were really good and worth getting. The scones were alright, but needed butter. I think you have to ask for it, since I didn't see them out like they used to be. Still overall a good price for a quick meal.

    Small Breakfast menu

    This rating is for the restaurant only: I came right at opening so they were serving breakfast food only (which was what I was hoping for). The eggs and bacon were delicious, but the potatoes had a weird after taste to it. I added some ketchup and that helped mask the weird taste. You bust your own table and grab your own salad and drinks, but they serve up the hot food for you. Extremely affordable and large portion sizes for the price. For two small breakfasts and a cinnamon bun, the total was about $6.50.

    I truly enjoy going to IKEA as a store only. They have amazing displays that give you great ideas on how to setup your home or business. The service was sub standard, they you ladies was just stand around and not helpful. They food is way overpriced. Just understand when you go to IKEA you need to make a choice if you want them to build your purchase (which you will pay for it) or you build it.

    4 count side of meatballs and a side of mashed potatoes
    Tymeia T.

    The 5 star rating is for the overall store. The showcases are so creative and realistic. Very nice displays. Now as far as the food. I would give it a 2 star. The Swedish meatballs are a win. Very tasty without the gravy. The gravy is not salty and it does balance out the salt inside the meatball. But I was not a fan of the gravy. The mashed potatoes were bland. The gravy helped it a little. It tasted better once I added salt and pepper. I ordered a side of meatballs (4 count) and a side of mashed potatoes. Make sure you say "side " if you just want to sample the items. If not they will give you the plate which cost more. For a side of 4 count meatball and a side of mashed potatoes the total was $3.70. Cool cheap meal.

    Cake almond caramel
    Rachel S.

    Came here for lunch on a weekend. Came here with some family friends. I had their plant balls meal, which came with green peas, mashed potatoes and some lingonberry jam, and; their almond caramel tort. Balance came out to approximately $13. What's Hot - Options. There appears to be something for everyone- meats, vegetarians, seafood, and vegans. For example, they now have plant balls, instead of Swedish meatballs, which is pretty good. There are salads, other veggies and fruits. There's also a good variety of desserts, but they don't appear to be vegan. - Quality. Not bad. The plant balls are pretty good and taste very similar to their Swedish meatballs. Their lingonberry jam is pretty good, as well, even though it looks like cranberry sauce. The dessert I ordered was definitely delicious and had a slight crispiness to it, but not too crisp. My friends had fries with their meal, which are also pretty good- slightly crunchy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. Apparently, my friend said their chocolate cake is always delicious. - Portions. Decent portions, but depending on how hungry you are, be prepared to order more than an entree. - Price. For the portions you pay and the quality, it's pretty good value for money. - Service. It's mostly self-serve, with the exception of when you order their hot foods. In between my ordering the plant balls meal, which came with sides, they were pretty quick in putting my plate together. Their cashiers are pretty good about putting everything in quickly and taking payment, which keeps the line moving pretty smoothly. - Location. What's great is that you do not have to go through their shopping maze to find their restaurant. It's immediately upstairs from the main entrance. What's Not - Cleanliness. To be fair, this factor probably depends on when you're here. Because I was here with my friends on a weekend afternoon, it was pretty busy. As such, turnover at the tables is pretty. Consequently, that meant a lot of their vacant tables were dirty, because they had not been wiped down since the last diners. I noticed they eventually got wiped down, but it took a while. The main point is that be prepared for it to be difficult to find clean tables for your group, depending on the day and time you're there. - Quality. Not bad, but not the best. To be fair, this isn't fine dining, haha... Final Answer Not my top choice, but not bad and pretty dependable, especially when you're going through the endless maze and options of Ikea.

    The food serving size is a lot smaller then before and they have downgraded everything their forks, plates, and cups and a lot more stuff.

    Let's establish something upfront: this is a cafeteria. A furniture store cafeteria. And yet…read moresomehow it's outperforming half the "fast casual concepts" that have colonized every strip mall in America, which says everything about IKEA and absolutely nothing flattering about the rest of the industry. If my high school had been running this operation, I might have actually attended lunch instead of my daily ritual of despair and vending machine chips before AP Calculus. Solid soups. Texas toast that respects itself. A rotating cast of cold and warm dishes that -- brace yourself -- includes responsibly sourced seafood. In a place where you also buy flat-pack bookshelves. Now let's talk strategy, because eating here without intel is leaving money on the table. Those little gift cards in your IKEA advent calendar? Spendable on meatballs. You're welcome. Family card gets you free fountain drinks and coffee, which in this economy is practically a financial aid program. And if you wander toward the right tables, some have cableless phone charging stations built in -- because IKEA apparently thought of that while your favorite brunch spot still can't figure out how to make eggs over easy. Traveling with small children who have opinions? The restaurant is a legitimate tactical retreat. Food is simple enough to survive contact with a picky five-year-old, and there are interactive toy stations nearby to occupy whoever is about to lose it -- including, statistically, at least one adult. And finally: the lingonberry jam. You may dip anything you want into it here. Meatballs. Chicken strips. Texas toast. Existential dread. No one will stop you. No one will judge you. This is the one place on earth where the lingonberry is not a garnish but a governing philosophy, and honestly? That's more than most restaurants can say about anything on their menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A month later we still did not have the table. When I called the store, the customer service was poor, with folks blaming it on "the national crisis with drivers." One person was as rude as to say, "Maybe you have heard of this." I asked to speak to the manager, who is also the owner, Sean, and after my third call, he did finally call me back. Two weeks later--more than a month late from when it was first promised--the table was delivered. Without the parts necessary to assemble it. I was told by the driver it would take another "week or two" to get back over with the parts and to assemble. When I called Sean to describe the situation, he told me I should have accepted the table, and that "he would have worked out a solution." When I pointed out that I had lost faith in them, after several cancellations from the delivery service, and the table arriving a month late, his response, the ultimate passive-aggressive retort: "I am sorry you feel that way." Nice furniture. Snooty, pretentious, unaccommodating staff. I never write bad reviews. I feel bad for small business owners in this environment, and do acknowledge that getting deliveries is tough (though we had several other pieces of furniture and appliances delivered within a week from purchase), but there was really little effort spent in trying to resolve the problem other than making promises that were then broken.
