I recently visited this Cava location when I attended a concert at Emory. It was my first visit to a Cava. I have to say; I was deeply disappointed.

I travel a lot. So, I eat at a lot of restaurants and cafes all over the globe. I try to temper my expectations. When I went to this Cava, I gave them a blank slate so that I could have a better idea of the food, service, and atmosphere. They didn't nail any of the three.

As I entered, I saw a lovely space, very modern and tailored toward the college crowd that it serves. That was as far as the good impression went.

No one greeted me. No one really acknowledged me. The guy who prepared what they call a salad didn't really say much, more utterances than anything.

As you can see in the pics, the bowl was about 65% full. And, there is barely in evidence of actual salad. The flavors of the dressing were overpowering, likely due to over application.

Maybe the taste of the food would have been ok if there had been a good balance of ingredients.

I also ordered a fruit drink, which was average. And, the ice machine had zero ice in it.

You can read my many other reviews. I am not often harsh. I will not return to this Cava. I might try an alternate location. But, this one got its last dollar from me.
