    Pesto Caesar Salad
    Nyla S.

    Fast service... & the food was flavorful and delicious. Definitely filled me up for hours.

    a plate of vegetables and meat

    My new favorite salad place! I ordered via Uber Eats and couldn't be more thrilled with the quality. Their lemon zest chicken is perfectly seasoned, as well as the chimmichurri mushrooms. Sweet potatoes have a lovely texture, and so did the beets. I could ramble on and on about their food and how good it is, but you should just see for yourself. If you're looking for a new salad spot, this is it! Oh yeah, and be sure to get the dragonfruit green tea. It's delightful :D

    Southern w/ sweet potatoes & fresh jalapenos
    dan g.

    Will definitely go again! Tasty food with lots of options and a ton of vegan choices including beans, chick peas and 2 types of tofu. I had the Southern- which I guess was Southern because of the bbq tofu? It was tasty with charred corn, chick peas, kale, and a lemon tahini dressing. I added fresh jalapenos and sweet potato which was key! You can also build your own which my wife did and liked. Staff does seem to expect you to know the drill which isn't really clear to a new visitor. Traffic in College Park can be daunting but the food was served so fast we'll be back. 4 Stars because the rice was occasionally crunchy.

    Workers nice and knowledgeable. Went with the El Jefe *with the works* , definitely will be back to try some of their other bowls .

    The salad was excellent. However it was not the salad I had ordered. I wanted Brussels sprouts, brown rice, chili tofu and kale. I received white rice, broccoli, Brussels and chicken. Will work on being a vegan another day

    I fell in love with this place. I've been looking for more healthier food options and I found it here. When I eat the food here I feel wider and fulfilled. I've been here four times in the last four days. Really good.

    Sunday July 2nd visit. Staff very friendly, portion size large enough for two servings, maybe a more tender piece of chicken option?

    El Jefe with the works. Extra side of Cilantro Lime & Chipotle Tabasco sauce.

I did an online order for pickup so i didnt get to interact with anyone or the space. I ordered the harvest bowl but customized it to my liking. To my harvest bowl I added spicy broccol, pickled onions, avocado, i replaced the goat cheese with parmesan and removed the balsamic vigera for the Lime Cilantro Jalapeno Vinaigrette, spicy cashew sauce, and green goddess ranch on the side. My salad was so good, I needed some privacy. It was also a good amount of food. I couldn't finish my food, so I actually saved half of it to eat an hour later :). I will most definitely be back and try some of the other bowls and salads !

Food: I don't remember what I got from this location but it SLAPPED! I think it was a local Protein plate! Yummy! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. *Parking: There's plenty of parking considering it's on a college campus!

I love the crisp edges on the top of the pastichio and the way the pasta and bechamel melt into the meat - it's very satisfying. I ordered my food directly on their site for pickup. It was ready when it said it would be and everyone was kind in handing it off and letting me know where the utensil and napkins are if needed. The restaurant is cute.

The nice crust on the pork, fries, and fresh chopped veggies separate this gyro for me. Definitely worth a stop next time you're not sure what to eat.

The gyros, calamari, and other items are cooked to order, so you can call ahead if you don't want to wait. The sitting area is not very big, but I believe they have arranged the space to make it comfortable without being too crowded. Very cute Greek decorated with a beautiful picture of Greece for a complete Greek experience. 100/10 recommend

    Definitely a fan!…read more You can't go wrong with this place!...It's fast, healthy, quality ingredients and most of all...delicious!! I have been to several CAVA locations around the city and they all are good....and the consistency is there too! This location is no exception. They have a pretty focused menu where you choose greens or rice bowl...or both! You work you way down the down selecting ingredients for your meal and over 13+ toppings.... like Lentils, Eggplant + Roasted Red Pepper, Harissa, Organic Roasted Garlic Hummus, Olives, Tomatoes, Pickeled Peppers, Cucumbers... Meats: Grilled Chicken, Spicy Lamb Meatballs, Braised Lamb, Grilled Steak, Roasted Vegetables as Vegetarian options. Think of a Mediterranean version of Chipolte. I typically go for the the Splendid Greens & Rice Bowl with a mix of lentils, hummus-harissa dips, couscous, plethora of veggies...all with the Grilled Chicken, Braised Lamb or Spicy Lamb Meatballs!....lt is nothing but the truth!! A healthy gospel of goodness in a bowl. I opt for the grilled steak over the chicken at times with this combination, to change things up every now and then. In all, it is an excellent and tasty meal at a great value --considering its the healthy way to go. The food at CAVA is very fresh made of high quality ingredients. The meats, sauces and dressings are seasoned and has really good flavor. There are vegetarian options too. I will admit thought that it is a bit pricey when it comes to looking for an economical, cheap lunch options....but for the portion size and healthy option aspect...it is totally worth it! * PRO TIP: Use their app frequently to earn rewards and free meals! Also, free bowl ($9.00) credit for your Birthday!!

Out of the three visits in one week, the first trip was perfect. On the second visit, the rice was so hard it nearly cracked my dental crown, and I had to go back and have them remake my bowl. The third time, I ordered the same thing as the first two visits, and the guy tried to charge me extra for half super greens and splitting the rice between white and brown. I had to explain that I had ordered the same thing twice that week without being charged extra and that I was not asking for three half portions. In the end, they understood what I was asking for and I was not charged extra. Mainly deducting stars for that horrible rice.

When we walked in, we stood at the counter for several minutes without anyone greeting us or asking if we needed assistance. The only employee visible was a woman at the front who was focused on throwing away breakfast items. She never looked up or acknowledged that customers were waiting. Eventually, I walked over and asked if breakfast was still being served. She simply replied, "No." As I was speaking with her, I watched her remove three breakfast quiches from the display, place them into a bag, and throw them away. She then took down the breakfast signs. It was frustrating because Panera could have sold those quiches instead of discarding them while customers were actively asking for breakfast. A simple response such as, "Breakfast has ended, but these are the last quiches we have available if you're interested," would have been much better customer service. I also noticed another customer had the same experience. He had to walk over to the employee because she never acknowledged anyone waiting at the counter. I don't know why we were ignored or whether there was another reason, but the lack of acknowledgment and customer service was concerning. After the interaction, I no longer felt comfortable ordering food that was being prepared by someone with that attitude, so I left without making a purchase. I hope management reviews this situation and reminds employees that greeting customers and offering basic assistance can make a significant difference in the overall experience.

In a place where human interaction is a minimum I would hope that the food and the dining area was good and clean but that's not the case here. The wake and steak sandwich barely had any steak on the sandwich. This may be the standardized amount in which case, it needs to be increased. The wake and steak sandwich is already the most expensive item on the breakfast menu and it's not better than anything else. The bagels remain the best item somehow. Maybe the bagels have less in house prep? Avoid the wake and steak or be disappointed.
