CAVA — Restaurant in Philadelphia

So excited to have a Cava near work! Have visited other locations in Montgomery County, MD, and Chester and Philadelphia Counties in PA, so I had some expectations coming in. Granted, my last visit to the Glen Mills location was about 15 months ago, I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the falafel at this location. I picked up my mobile order at the pickup time noted in the app, and started eating it about 5 minutes later. Falafel were soft, not crispy, which is not a problem I have experienced at other locations. Aside from the falafel texture problem, everything else...

I have been waiting patiently for this location to open. I tried the chicken shawarma bowl. I usually have lamb meatballs or falafel. The bowl lived up to the description. A very pleasantly strong garlic infusion. Pickled onions were sweet and delicious. The bowl may look like it's small, but trust your stomach will be ready to pop! I had the pita on the side. My greedy self was alternating bites of my bowl and of the crispy pita...

I have been patiently WAITING for this location to open up!! 11 minutes away from my house, I just might be there everyday 😂. But forreal, the food is always a 10/10 in my opinion. The salted chocolate oat cookie is DELICIOUS, I bought 3 yesterday and 4 today .. they’re just that good! Will always be back, this is really my favorite place. 10’s...
