CAVA — Restaurant in College Park

It's unfortunate that bad experience can make the food horrible. Came to this location and the Customer Service was absolutely horrible. To think I started coming to Cava a month and a half ago and became addicted speaks volume. However I normally go to the one in Lanham, MD. Which by the way has ALWAYS had overthetop Customer Service. I only visited this location today because my home location was out of several items. So I drove 30 minutes to the nearest one which was this location only to be given a completely different experience. An African American male by the name of Elliot was extremely disrespectful. Slammed our bowls and wraps on the countertos and was very cold. Had an attitude, never 'greeted' us but 'greeted' the Asian woman behind us. I asked the cashier for a manager, come to find out Elliott was the manager😲 Customer Service isn't what it used to be and I really wish companies as reputable and loved as Cava would uphold not only great food but having people that truly want to give the experience to people...there. I would never recommend this location....

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...

I mean, it's Cava. They're the mid-Atlantic's biggest QSR success story since Five Guys. My wife and I used to hit the Silver Spring location all the time back before telecommuting full-time became a thing. The CP location is just a mile or two north of our house so we picked up carry-out last night. Crew was ON IT. The falafel was a little sad -- it's better when crispy on the outside -- but seasoned right and good enough. It can be a little tricky to find places open late with interesting, reasonably-priced vegetarian options; we'll be back regularly.

Bonus: a large strawberry citrus drink, filled two thirds with ice, made two solid margaritas when we mixed it with a couple shots of tequila and a shot...
