CAVA

Love going to Cava! Great food, generous portions size, and I feel healthy after. So many options for toppings. The rewards program is great too. Sandra, Isabel, and Kelbin were a great team and got me through super fast. Love the friendly faces as Ive become a regular here. It's my favorite lunch spot in CP!

First time at Cava! The college park location has my heart! The staff were friendly and took their time explaining to me the menu. Foos was delicious! Also, thought my daughter wasn’t going to eat it but she ate all her kids plate! I will definitely come again <3

Today I decided to have a late lunch at CAVA Grill in College Park, and I was really satisfied with the quick service, quality of the food and cleanliness inside of the casual restaurant. I had a super green bowl with rice and braised lamb. I added several of my favorite sides and sauces, and completed the meal with an order of pita chips, the pita chips are so good I highly recommend them. Cava grill continues to be one of my go to fast casual restaurants because of their freshness and price the food amount ratio. I definitely recommend them for lunch and or dinner if you don’t feel like cooking because of the mini options that they have. They are also a good choice if you’re one that is trying to track their nutritional intake because of all the available nutritional facts you can find within the store.

David was great. He explained all the ingredients all the hummus is and the chicken to me and he made my bowl with very much care. I appreciate him a lot especially because it’s my first time

Amazing store, amazing manager, clean facility. Loaded my bowl up.

Cava’s customer service is a 10/10 they are beyond amazing. One of the workers that took my order her name was Karina and she was so sweet. It was my first time today and she was very patient, sweet and so helpful she told me what to try because I am a very picky person but she helped me and did an amazing job.

Sandra, Teressa, and Karina were excellent this afternoon when I came to get my lunch. They made sure that the station was very clean and made sure to move me down the line efficiently. Thank you so much for their hospitality and making cava a great experience.

I usually go to Cava for lunch and the customer service from the team is great. Sandra is always attentive and respectful. Overall, Cava provides a wonderful dining experience, combining excellent food with a relaxed, friendly vibe. Highly recommend!

I typically visit this CAVA location quite often and it's consistent. Fresh tasty Mediterranean food with a quiet low key environment. Great if you just want to grab lunch and host a small meeting or want a quiet place to enjoy good food at a reasonable cost.

I have been an active customer and I have been treated well all time. However, today was not a good experience for me, the Laddy who assisted me in line put less rice to my order and I kindly ask her to put me more since I was paying for a full order and she told me that it was going to be extra.I do understand when you are getting charge for extra, but this Laddy did not measure well the amount of rice compare with previos experiences. I did also ask for extra chicken and this Laddy again Barely put chicken to the plate. So I was not satisfied because if you are asking for extra and they the line girl give you not even close to a regular order and then, you have to pay for that extra that was not given, it is not nice....

My first time trying Cava! There aren't any locations near me where I'm from, so seeing that it was nearby where I was staying in my trip to the East Coast made me have to go. The process is basically a build-your-own style just like Chipotle, but for Mediterranean food. The portions are quite generous for the price as well, and service was fast. I got a build-your-own bowl with half rice half salad, falafel, hummus and tzatziki, plenty of veggies, and tahini sauce. They also give you a complementary side of pita bread! The bowl was seriously so good. With everything mixed together, it was all so fresh and delicious. I love falafel, and theirs was really good. A bit chewier and less crispy than other places, but felt less greasy and I liked the flavor. Overall, I love this spot and I would definitely be a regular if it was closer to where I lived!

Literally so exhausted of making this same review. If it says Saffron Rice, why is there no saffron? Three times this week all plain white rice. It throws off the bowl. Silver spring is the only cava that does saffron right, their food is way more flavorful in general. This location is close to my home so I always come here but if I have to travel 30minutes I will start, this is crazy.

Today I decide to have dinner from Cava in the College Park store. 7350 Baltimore AVE. I was not please. Flies everywhere. Flies even flying around the meat. So I said something to the young lady who was preparing my food, about the flies. She responded by not saying anything. But she look at me with so much disgusted look on her face. So, I ask whats up with the attitude. She very nasty at me and said I don't have a attitude. I said to her yes you do because you didn;t responded back. You gave me that attitude like don;t come in here than. It's funny how being black we still get Miss treated of I;ll color. I will not being going to this Cava again.

This was my first time trying Cava but I've had meals from similar restaurants. It's a fast casual Mediterranean restaurant with bowls and wraps. The options are fresh and seasoned well. There are a wide variety of options so you can keep mixing and matching when you visit. The service is quick and even if it's busy you'll be in and out pretty quickly. I will say for this location depending on the time that you go especially in the week the parking lot is very busy and it might be hard to get a spot. If you know exactly what you want definitely order ahead.

it seems like there's a bowl-type franchise for every cuisine nowadays but Cava remains one of my favorites. Their portion sizes are generous and their food is refreshing! I highly recommend spending the extra $2 Cava bowls are from Chipotle...so worth!

Omg, every time that I visit this location the service is always on point. My salads are fresh and nothing is ever missing. I will definitely be back (after already patronizing twice in one week, lol)

Cava is one of my favorite places to eat and I've been going to this location ever since they opened. The food is absolutely delicious and filling. I enjoy the complimentary pita that comes with the meal. However, I've recently started to notice that when I place a mobile order for pickup, there items missing in my order. Recently I had asked for arugula in my bowl but received mainly romaine lettuce. In addition, there was barely any sauce drizzled on the top. I would be mindful to double check everything before you leave the restaurant.

First thing first, I am a CAVA lover! This location always has fresh food and great service. The staff is very friendly. I usually get the same type of bowl, but recently I tried something new and the staff was very understanding while I asked questions.

The people that work here do not give a shit about customer satisfaction. Rude & passive aggressive vibes.

If you order a half greens half rice expect to get next to no rice. I haven't had an issue with this before so hopefully next time I go back they aren't skimping on the rice.

Very average. Was not wow'd but the flavors. The lentils were that best part of the bowl. Everything else was average. Small portions. Service was great. Very friendly staff. Great location. Mezeh has more topping choices and better quality ingredients.

This is my first time trying CAVA and its amazing! Fresh and light but leaves you feeling full. I ordered the pitas packed like tacos but with even more lol, because why not? I will definitely be returning to this place. Location: The location is kinda perfect, this location is in a shopping center with several other restaurants on the UMD campus. This is perfect for students or those taking Rt 1 to grab a bite. I went around lunch and it was pretty packed but the line was short. If you are taking your food to go that's perfect. Customer Service: It was pretty apparent I was a first timer but they were patient and repeated a few things as well. My only suggestion is a to-go pita holder like a taco holder. When I went to unwrap my pita it didn't look too great but it taste so dag on good I didn't care.

I love Cava - well, the one on Shady Grove Rd in Rockville, MD, -- but this one in College Park by Univ of Maryland - not so much. Compared to the one in Rockville, college park salad is wimpy and small and not fresh or flavorful. Not awful. But meh. And the pick up order was filled wrong. Hard to order accurately from the APP as well. I will stick with the other location so I don't stop loving Cava.

My first time at this Cava. I had a good experience. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Since there was no line I was waited on immediately. I ordered my usual meal. All the ingredients were fresh and available. They accomodated my request for extra toppings. I was in and out in minutes.

Its CAVA and its great! I'm so glad that CAVA came to College Park and followed my lead on opening into the previous Radio Shack location! This CAVA shows the great standard of their other locations with their fresh ingredients, great meal variety selection, timely meal preparation, and great service! I know this CAVA location will be a gem in the College Park area! Try everything & enjoy!

Wish there was a bit more seating, but the arrangement was wide and clean inside! Only complaint is that it was pretty cold inside, it would be nice if they up the thermostat by a little. Nobody wants to eat in the cold weather. First time I had CAVA! PROS...CONS... honestly just PROS! - Good service - Food (got a grain bowl) was delicious and warm - Line moves quickly - Perfect serving size for one - Variety of dipping sauce + dressing = LOTS of flavor! I would def come here again for a nice lunch with friends!

This was such an welcome and unexpected surprise! A friend and I went in to the store not really knowing what to expect and asked the people behind the counter what their own preferences were and went from there. I ended up getting a grain bowl with brown basmati and black lentils. I had then, per the employee's recommendation, put everything as follows into the dish: everything mentioned before plus the tzatziki, crazy feta, & I believe Harrisa spreads, lamb meatballs & grilled chicken, all that topped with the tomato & onion salad, cauliflower quinoa tabbouleh and pickled onions. A mouthful of options in the bowl but they each paired with each other so nicely. The meatball was the star of the dish, and when that was exhausted the flavorful grilled chicken took its place. Got the lemonade to finish everything off as well. If you're unsure about this place, definitely give it a try

This cava location is great. Located just off of the UMD campus it's easy to get to, rarely crowded and consistent quality food. I went with a friend and we each got our "standard" bowls. I highly recommend the honey harissa chicken! I typically get a little nervous for the featured foods since I make my bowl and stick with it, but I will regularly be adding that to my regular roasted veggie bowl. I like that the price point of cava is reasonable and also allows me to enjoy Mediterranean flavors in a chipotle like setting. By no means is this authentic middle eastern flavors, but it's not meant to be. It's consistently good and relatively healthy so I enjoy going.

Don't use this location for ordering online! The staff is careless with online orders, I usually pick up about once a week and about 50% of the time my order is wrong. Missing ingredients, missing proteins, a bowl full of water (I still don't know how to explain the soggy, inedible bowl I received once). Why do I keep going back? I love Cava. It's okay if you actually watch them prep it, but they cut corners if you aren't watching. Pretty enraging when you pay extra for an ingredient for it to be left out without and warnings. Cava's customer support is also slow. It took several months to respond to an issue with this location and now I'm going to have to wait for months to see if they respond to my request for a refund for a meal with no protein. For now I'm just going to consider spending money at this location an utter waste.

I stopped by Cava in my way home to pick up food for my family and the food was completely cold. every item that was added to my bowl was a hot item and it's alarming that everything was cold. I hope that this location takes food safety seriously and is temping their food regularly and not serving cold food to cut down on cost. I like Cava, I won't let this unfortunate experience turn me off completel.

This place was absolutely wonderful this is a vegans paradise lol but they also have something for the meat eaters too so give this place a try you will like it also the customer service was wonderful

I had no idea there was a CAVA in college park. It looks fairly new and it's located near the UMD campus in the shopping center with chipotle. I typically order from the app and just pick up my food (quick, easy and you get rewards toward free meals). I typically stick with the same thing either a grain+greens bowl or a simple greens bowl with splendid greens and brown rice, spicy harissa, chicken, cucumbers, feta, Greek vinaigrette. It never disappoints. I set my pick up time for 7pm and my food was waiting for me when i arrived at 7:01pm. Since i was just picking up an order, i didn't pay for parking but i did see a meter to pay for parking... so that's the only con. I also appreciate whoever made my bowl, it had TONS of chicken!

I love cava but this location sucks. Careless with online orders which is very inconvenient when limited on time.

Very rude to a deaf customer. Teach your employees common decency. If they have an issue with interacting with all kinds of people with different demands, then don't be in the service industry. Do better.

I have eaten at the College Park Cava several times and enjoyed the food. Today I am half way through my bowl at home and have found 2 long hairs in. I called to complain and was told to call back after 3pm. I will no longer eat at this Cava

Only if my favorite places to come for lunch. Even when they have a long line they move pretty quickly so don't be concerned if it crowded when yuh get there during a lunch rush. You can pick the items you want in your bowl. Ingredients are always fresh and the portions are filling. When you need something quick and relatively healthy this is the place.

First time after seeing this place around my area. I like it. Got a half chicken and half spicy lamb meatballs. It was all delicious

I've eaten at this new location twice now, and as much as I love the brand and what they do, I just had *another* case of undercooked (or dried out?) hard lentils in my greens & grains bowl, which seems to be a systematic problem. This is my 4th time (!) experiencing hard, beyond crunchy lentils at a CAVA location, and I wouldn't be surprised if sooner or later somebody cracks a tooth! I'm used to being on the lookout for unpopped kernels when I'm eating popcorn, but not when I'm consuming a fast-serve burrito bowl...

If you haven't been to a CAVA in DC, then you wouldn't know this is subpar. I frequented this Cava last week after having a craving and was excited about the experience until I got to the sauce line and they said they were out of tzaziki for the night...it was 7pm. Once I got to the end of the line I discovered they did have tzaziki...at the call in bar. I ended up paying extra, but at least I had the sauces. Tonight I decided to give it another chance, bad idea. I saw the guy at the fixings station pull up his pants twice while in line (eww). I placed my order for the base, all the sauces were there, but there was a weird lineup for falafel. Once it came out I found folks coming in and out of line to go back and get sauces that were never put in their bowls because there was no one at the sauce station for some reason when they went though. Finally, I get to toppings dude. "Hey, you touched your pants while making the food". His reply..."Yeah I know gotta watch that". I hoped he changed his gloves...because he put a good amount of pita crisps on my salad although, they were more like fries. I though maybe my eyes were deceiving me, it was the bottom of the bowl, more came out and I thought they looked better but alas when I got home and there were the half crisp, half dough like, soggy pita fries. Yuck! This could be a great CAVA but the staff needs training. Senior staff from other restaurants need to be there throughout the day to ensure quality and cleanliness.

The food itself was flavorful and delicious, but the service and atmosphere left so much to be desired. I was the ONLY person in line and it still took forever to assemble my food. I understand everyone is probably new but it was getting painful. The store was so empty that I actually felt weird about staying and eating there, so I took it to go.

I got a Mediterranean bowl. It was tasty, but I felt like the portion size was too small to be a satisfying lunch.

Since this place just recently opened, lines are really really long. I'm pretty sure I was in line for like 20 minutes. Staff seems very friendly though, they give good portion scoops. I like how I can get all toppings for cava. I might actually prefer cava over chipotle because of their dressing and hummus. I got the bowl with half chicken and half meatball, all toppings, some yogurt sauce, and some hummus. Although I got a bunch of toppings and three different types of dressings, it still felt healthier than chipotle. I also got their pineapple mint drink and it honestly wasn't that good. I saw everyone get it and wanted to see what the hype was, but it wasn't all that. It tasted like watered down lemonade with a hint of mint.

I LOVE CAVA!!!!!! I've been waiting for so long for this CAVA to open in College Park. The service is very sweet, and the quality of the food is amazing. I also enjoy how spacious the place is. There's a large space between those who are waiting in line, and those ordering and paying. There are a couple outlets here so it would be a wonderful place to eat and then study! Goodbye, Chipotle. Hello, CAVA!

Can I give a 10?! I love this place! Love it so much. Have never had food like this. So simple but so fresh. Nice blend of flavors. When I went there there were long lines. But the lines went down fast. The food is just so good. I tried the.spicy lamb meatballs. Yum yum yum! I was in the area for a week and had to force.myself. not to eat there every night. So yum!

absolutely loved how fast the service was. Only thing is that the ingredients didn't look as fresh as they could have been, but it was great still. There were many tables to sit at however the trash can was overflowing and no one had cleaned it up. The ambience was nice as it was full of hungry college kids. I took off one star because I love CAVA but this CAVA didn't wow me! Still a great place to grab a bite, even though it's kinda expensive.

I love Cava and it's one of my favorite places to go when I want something quick and healthy but also affordable. I was so excited when this location in college park opened up because it's a lot closer to where I live than all the other locations in the Maryland area. Unfortunately this location fell short when it came to the taste. I'm not sure if it was an off day but my grain bowl lacked flavor even when drenched in lemon herb tahini sauce and didn't have the usual flavor that I'm used to. I'll probably be sticking to my usual location in silver spring when I'm looking to satisfy my cava cravings.

The food was really good and well served!! I had the Greens + Grains bowl, and the servers were nice and helpful while ordering. It had been some time since I ate at a Cava so I felt like a newbie. The gentlemen who first took my order asked me if I wanted pita bread and lentil- I wasn't sure if it had an extra fee but he quickly said, "it comes with your order, it's free." I hadn't had the lentil before and it was good. I ordered the falafel and those were tasty as well! The place was clean and service was nice. I know I'll be back.

My husband and I fortunately got a chance to try the Cava eating place in College Park Maryland less than 16 hours ago. My husband got the basmati rice and lamb meatballs. I admit that I chose the grainbowl option that includes basmati rice and black lentils with the 3 protein option spicy lamb meatballs, grilled meatballs, with multiple toppings: tomatoes cucumbers lemon etc. Both my husband and I enjoyed our food and were treated well by the employees handling our orders(and my husband was the one who paid for our food). Additionally, both my husband and I were at least somewhat previously familiar with the Cava brand because we enjoyed food before from a Cava eating location closest to the Columbia Heights metro.

Fresh, fast and delicious!!! Lots of options-I start d with a salad base and added lentils, hummus, crazy feta, grilled chicken and seasonal roasted veggies and several fresh toppings with Greek vinaigrette. So good! You can also get pitas and soups as well as a grain bowl. We will return again!

Omg I love this place the food is very vegan friendly and the sauces a yummy. I love fast casual spots, and I love Mediterranean food so this being quick, clean, tasty and decently priced is a win for me all around! The staff is very pleasant!

"Wow, just wow" I'm utterly amazed at the quality of food and service at Cava mediterranean restaurant in College Park MD! The food is absolutely amazing!!! This place instantly became a favorite for me. Every time I eat here I feel healthy, full, and refreshed. The service is incredible and I'd especially like to recognize Isabel for her leadership and excellence in customer care. Way to go Cava! Keep up the good work!!! -Kyle.

I love the CAVA spot in College Park! Excellent service from the staff, they are all friendly! Especially, shout out to Carlos M. he greets me whenever I come in and recognizes me. The food is fresh and healthy!!! Love the vegan options they offer as well. No complaints whatsoever :-)

I had the most lit night with friends on 2/15 at COLLEGE PARK Cava , ya are the best. You guys are so welcoming and exciting to see ya work. And the food omg DELICIOUS ! You made our night !

Service is poor. Don't bother ordering curbside, they won't answer your calls or bring your food to your car. Have to go inside and when you do it takes forever to get the worker's attention. Also, lentils are ALWAYS hard as rocks in this Cava.

Very healthy and fresh ingredients with portions leaving you full. The staff is helpful which made the line move along well. Even the juices seemed fresh with seasonal flavors.

CAVA is amazing! They have delicious Mediterranean food. It is so customizable and you can cater everything towards your preferences to the fullest! I have ordered here multiple times and expectations have always been exceeded. They are offering many excellest COVID options with socially distant seating and curbside pickup. This makes it so comforting! This made me and my Bumble BFF date very pleasant and convenient!
