CAVA

Tho it's been on our radar for a long time, this was our first visit to a Cava eatery. Short version: 3.5 stars. It's a very decent (but not a bargain) counter-service fast-casual chain that offers a nice break from the usual burgers or sandwiches or Mexican or whatever. While the flavor and quality of the food is above average for this type of place, it's pretty expensive for what you get. Portions are on the light side relative to cost, and the protein portions in particular seemed a bit skimpy. Love that there are a number of healthier ingredient options, but if you're worried about calories or carbs or whatnot, watch what you choose--it can quickly get out of hand. Haha. The drink options at the fountain area are a lot better than most places. Service was friendly and patient (with us being newbies). This particular restaurant was miserably cold the day we went in. The AC was set at a weirdly low temp for late afternoon/early evening on a rainy, not very hot day. Otherwise, the place was very clean and well laid out. There's also a nice looking patio (our usual preference), but it was still wet due to recent rain, so can't comment on its comfort. All in all, Cava is far superior to virtually any true fast food joint, and it's a nice alternative to many other similar counter-service fast-casual sit-down places. Since we will be living walking distance from this location, we will probably pop in periodically for a quick lighter meal on the fly.

Cava is a Mediterranean bowl and pita restaurant. Being vegan and gluten free, there was less for me than I would've expected. Unfortunately, the falafels weren't gluten free and the only other option was mixed vegetables. I really liked the black lentils. What impressed me most here were the staff. My server used new gloves and was extremely careful about cross contamination, he used opened a new hummus for me. Highly recommended if you have dietary restrictions!

If you haven't heard of CAVA, it's a fast casual spin on Mediterranean. Similar to Chipotle's model, you'll walk in and be asked step by step what you want. By the end, you'll hopefully build your ultimate meal. I'll say this was my first experience at one, so I was kind of overwhelmed with the choices. The serving staff was very informative and helped a gal out with understanding! Big thank you. (: I built a salad. Everything seemed very fresh, however, the flavors were just not hitting for me. Ultimately, I think I'll need to go back and give it another go. If anyone wants to give me suggestions on how/what to order, please do! :D

It's very rare I review chain restaurants, mainly because I don't usually like them. However this place surprised me, I can see why it's growing so fast.It's like a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, but keep in mind I'm not a fan of Chipotle but the concept is similar. They have bowls and pitas, with lots of fresh ingredients, you pick what you want & off you go.I really like it because it's fast, it's somewhat healthy, relatively cost effective and it's really tasty! I get the stewed lamb meat with the lamb meatballs- which come at an extra charge- but worth it.One bowl with extra meat and all the ingredients fills me up and it's a fast, tasty lunch. Ambiance is similar to a Chipotle and you pay at the front desk after you've chosen your options.They also have a great drink selection, with cucumber mint and others. I also like they don't ask for a tip when you pay like most places, even though you're not getting served.Anyway, I will be back from time to time. Recommended & happy eating!

The food never misses. i instantly get excited for my bowl and to top off my cravings i get their sodas(so good) but what makes it even better is the energy of all of the employee. so ready to give quick and attentive service. so good food and good service brings all of the vibes when you walk in!

The food was good. Little expensive but the floor was dirty. The corners and under tables really yucky!Bathroom ok. Gave 4 stars for food but 1 for floor

In the past this location was really good. Good service and good food. I Just ordered a to go order and A: I had to wait five minutes for someone to come up front and acknowledge me even though several people made eye contact but continued with the conversation with other employees. There was maybe three other people in restaurant already eating so not busy at all!I told the guy that finally came up I had a to go order and he handed it to me with no confirmation as to what was ordered. No thanks for coming in, no is there anything else you need or want. Not good service! Certainly not what it used to be.B: In addition the meal, Greek salad with chicken,while ok, it was drenched in dressing, almost inedible with so much dressing. I enjoy Cava for the flavor and healthy options but not sure I'll be back.

The greek salad is supper yummy. I ordered takeout and did not get some of my items, this has happened more than once. Something must be up with their system or the way they do things for this to be a reoccurring issue. The atmosphere is nice.

Don't bother. I made an online order for 6pm. Got my food at 630 pm and somehow my gyro was still cold. The salad had no lettuce, and the sauces were more like water than anything. The employees ignored me and everyone else waiting for a pick up order. I had to ask multiple times about the status of my order.

Underwhelming experience. Lack of portions of everything i got. Awful customer service.. too worried about getting us out of the door. Didn't listen to our requests.
