    CAVA is newly opened at the Cross County Mall. They held a community event last week, through Eventbrite. You would have had to claim one ticket per diner ahead of the event. They had two serving times for lunch and dinner. We opted for dinner, which was between 5-8P. Parking was fine because there are huge lots nearby. I arrived ahead of my family but went inside since the line looked deceptively long. When I got to the door, one of the staff asked if I had my ticket. I said I did but I had to get it out of my phone. It was raining heavy and I was juggling my phone and my umbrella. The manager was very pushy and off-putting. He rushed up to me after the other employee asked for my ticket. I'm assuming they had a lot of people try to enter that did not have tickets. He was very excited and said he could get the ticket with my name. He was blocking the entrance. I gave him my name and asked to move inside so that I could get settled, as it was raining and I was getting very wet. He finally moved back and gave me space and before he could do whatever he was trying to do, I brought up my ticket and let him scan it. I mentioned that I was waiting for my family and we had 4 tickets altogether. He said I couldn't block the doorway. Not sure why. I asked if it was OK to sit at a table. He repeated that we can't block the doorway. I asked again if I could sit at a table and he finally said that was fine. He was giving extremely nervous energy and had a bit of a power trip, which I observed with how he handled other guests that arrived. My family arrived and parked right out front. I approached him and said they were coming in, and pointed out my two kids and husband. I told him again that I had the tickets but he ignored me, opened the door and asked them for tickets. I repeated myself and he scanned my phone. We walked to the line and for some reason, he stopped my husband and asked him for his ticket (I'm assuming because he doesn't look like us). I again said that he scanned the tickets (4 in total). He was weird. I don't like his energy and he should definitely curb it in this location. People in this area will not be willing to put up with that kind of treatment on a daily basis. It's funny because he was touting to so many people that they needed tickets, but one couple tried to enter, didn't have any tickets, and the he let the guy pretend to show him a ticket on his phone yet did not scan it, so he was definitely showing favoritism to some diners. That happened right before my family entered. I was standing next to them when it happened. We ordered, the food was good, and the rest of the staff was very nice. This manager, however, treated different people very differently. We were eating our meals right in front of the entrance so we saw his interaction with everyone that arrived. I think they could have saved a lot of confusion by having a sign outside of the entrance, explaining that it was a private event and that tickets were required. That would have prevented people form trying to enter. They had takeaway bags ready to give people that did not have tickets, and he picked and chose who to give those bags to, was very standoffish with some people, and a little nasty to others. He was ridiculing one woman who did not understand that it was a private event, who asked questions. He was not trying to be helpful. Instead, he held his hand up to his ear when she said that he wasn't listened to her. It was quite unnecessary. Another woman stopped by without tickets, and he gave her two bags of food and a cup for a beverage even though she was by herself. He seemed like he was on something. He was extremely high energy. He picked up the A-frame sign they had and placed it outside only to turn around and bring it back in. He was rushing people to ask for tickets. It was a lot. I liked the food but if that guy is there on a regular basis, I probably won't visit. I'd have to drive to get here and it's honestly not worth it to deal wtih someone like him. Despite it being a free event, they asked for donations to help with food insecurity which puts a damper on the way this particular manager was treating people that did not have tickets.

    Been waiting for this place to open ever since I heard they were coming to Cross County. I came in last Sunday opening weekend and came early to beat the crowd. Place was nice a clean upon entry and no line. We both wanted steak so we chose to wait for a fresh batch since we both creating our own bowls. It was the first time my partner was trying Cava eating healthy is so important now a days. Staff were very respectable and I really enjoyed my bowl.

    Someone needs be clean the dining area. Please!

    Food is okay. Place is unkept. Please do have someone wipe the table and mess on the floor

    This CAVA opened up about a month ago or so at the Cross County Mall, and I was lucky enough to be a part of an exclusive community event for its grand opening. We arrived and parked right outside to meet up with a family member who already had our tickets. As we entered, a man who appeared to be security opened the door and asked for our tickets, to which our family member responded and had their phone scanned for them. Despite this, he stopped one of us and asked him for his ticket, even though said ticket was--of course--already scanned; this behavior was made even more odd by what appeared to be "selective security." He told potential entrants that they needed their tickets, but there was one couple in particular that tried to enter without them that he let pretend to show him a ticket--without scanning. Indeed, very odd, selective behavior--hopefully not a regular occurrence. Other than this experience, the food was great, and the staff otherwise very helpful. CAVA usually has a fantastic set of options to choose from for bowls and wraps, with great flavor, texture and relatively healthy caloric content for a fast casual restaurant. While that initial experience somewhat put a damper on things, I'd say it's definitely a good place to frequent if you need/want something quick that also tastes great and doesn't kill your macros, so long as staff interaction with patrons match it.

Once alerted that my order was ready, I pulled up and grabbed a metered spot right in front. As I entered, the shop it was empty but the staff was busy working on online orders in the open kitchen. Seating is available at a couple tables and counter top. I grabbed a seat as I waited because my order wasn't actually complete. Staff was pleasant but clearly behind on orders. Once completed I grabbed my order and headed out. I went with the #5. Breezin- strawberry, pineapple, peach, w/ orange juice base and I added banana. Overall a local spot offering healthy options on the go.

I went with the Captain Jack wrap with an impossible burger as the protein, vegan mozzarella, sweet potato french fries, lettuce, and bbq sauce. This wrap blew my mind. As soon as I pulled it apart the cheese just stretched across both wraps. The i.possi ke burger and sweet potato fries blended beautifully, and it had just the right amount bbq sauce to not feel over-saturated. I highly recommend it.

Though not huge, their menu is plant based with an assortment of brunch/lunch items like bowls, salads and interesting sushi, as well as smoothies and other drinks. If you're open to vegan food and uncommon items in a western diet, you'll enjoy it. The pad thai slaw and sushirito were delicious and well made and everything on the menu was inviting. The teas were lovely and I really enjoyed being able to select a blend of herbs for my tea mug. There was some herbal water available, and a selection of desserts on the counter and in the fridge - chocolatey delights like "snickers" bars. We found a corner next to the stage with two armchairs and a coffee table which was the coziest corner to sit and chat. Though it was Friday afternoon at lunch time and there were several other small groups, it never felt crowded and we were able to stay for a few hours enjoying our tea and meal. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and non-intrusive. You order at the counter and then sit down, and we were not disturbed at all besides our meal being brought to us when it was ready. Parking is limited but at least they have a lot. It's a short walk into the main part of the town. They also occasionally host events. Looking forward to returning!

Everything is vegan--I love it because for me it's less to worry about. Ambiance is comfortable, very similar to how they setup the dining room in their old location--which was earthy and homey. This location has an addition of an art room! For art days--appeared to be an area where adults and children can create art. I didn't venture in. Animals are welcome, some patrons had their dogs. Service was great. The cashier charged us for something we did not order and promptly sent a refund. They didn't have the salads and burritos from the previous menu but the owner told me that the menu items will eventually return. Will definitely come back!

I thought about just getting DoorDash, but I figured I had a rental car and the Google map said parking was "easy," so I drove over. Parking was not exactly "easy," but I did find a metered spot not far from the entrance. I do think DoorDash is the way to go here, as there isn't a ton of space to dine in. The menu includes several breakfast options as well as sandwiches, salads, burgers, and smoothies. Everything sounded really tasty. I ordered the AM snooze wrap and a latte. It took a bit for the food to be ready but it was freshly made, hot, and wrapped well for the short drive back to my hotel. The wrap has scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, American cheese, and "secret sauce." It was a generous portion and I had half leftover for the following morning. This wrap was everything I want in a breakfast - portable, easy to eat, cheesy, salty, delicious. Loved it. Do not order coffee - the "latte" just tasted like bad gas station coffee, but the wrap totally made up for that. If I lived in the area, I would probably order from this spot all the time.

However, I'm happy to report that I dined here recently and had a better experience. Since the time of my initial review, La Casa remained in my periphery - mainly because my parents periodically visited and it was a frequent stop of one of my friends who lives in Bronxville. That being said, I was curious to check out La Casa again - and that opportunity came when my mother chose here to celebrate Mother's Day. La Casa is located just off the main commercial strips. The interior is pretty spacious with a bar towards the front of the restaurant and the main dining room split in two sections. The decor is somewhat under-toned with a cool color scheme and tasteful decor. This is in contrast with other Mexican restaurants that tend to go overboard with the kistch and warm colors. I will say the seats look a little tired, they could use some re-upholstering - and were a little lower to the ground than I expected. In addition to the indoor space, they have an outdoor section which was done up very nicely. The brunch menu contained a selection of apps, sides, quesadillas, tacos, and sides. We decided to start by splitting a few apps: brisket and al pastor tacos, a quesadilla, street corn, chips and guac, and more guac with tuna. All the apps were tasty - the biggest standouts for me were the quesadilla and the tacos which were all generously filled and had good flavor. For my main, I got the camarones a la diabla which were shrimp in a red pepper sauce placed atop beans and paired with bok choy. The dish was pretty good - the shrimp could have been a bit snappier, but I appreciate that they de-shelled them and the sauce and beans worked well with them. Dare I say the bok choy was the star of the dish? It had just enough flavor and added a needed green. We opted for dessert, and I got the grilled pineapple which was paired with (per the menu) vanilla ice cream or guanabana sorbet. I wasn't asked to choose, and was served the sorbet. I would have liked to have been given the option, but maybe that's all they had - fwiw the sorbet was good. The pineapple was candied and came as a large, thick ring - definitely needed a knife and fork to cut it up (which they provided); this was a good dish in concept but I think it can be executed better. Service was good, everyone was friendly and efficient. In my experience, service tends to be the weakest component of a meal on a holiday, but they did a great job. Overall, I had a good experience at La Casa. Even though it's not in my backyard, I would definitely return if the opportunity presented itself.
