CAVA

I found this place while searching for places to eat in the area and this one came up especially due to the vegetarian options since that's usually my go to. I placed my order online since I didn't have time to dine in. Upon arrival the facility was clean and welcoming and the food was ready without having to wait additional time. My partner got one of the bowls which was filled at a good portion for the price along with my wrap that I ordered. I got the falafel wrap which was ginormous. It was so big I only ate half and saved the other half for the next day. It was difficult to eat however because it was so messy. The next day I ate it with a fork and a knife. I know it's a wrap and not a burrito so I y expect it to have the filling tightly put but it was surely a messy experience but that taste was delicious . Between the sauce and fresh cut veggies, I couldn't ask for more...except a napkin. lol If in the area I would definitely stop in to try this place. They definitely offer a variety of good eats.

My first time here with my husband ( not a huge salad lover) my brother and SIL. I Love salads and the more choices to add the better. ( I really miss Sweet Tomatoes). In any event this was a pleasant surprise for all of us. The best part is that they can accommodate most dietary needs or likes. My brother are in heaven because they are vegan so they definitely satisfy that diet. As I said my husband came to please me . He wound up getting a loaded garlic chicken pita sandwich. When I say loaded it had the ingredients mentioned on the menu and I added about 5 others he would like just to make sure he felt satisfied. I will tell you he was very satisfied. His only negative was that he would have liked to have more chicken. The nice thing is we can do that the next time we go. The restaurant operates as an assembly line of already decided salad combo or pitas on their menu. Or you can go along the cafeteria style line and create your own with over 30 choices of ingredients and about 8-10 unique dressings. The bowls are large and depending on things you choose are very hearty and satisfying for anyone that loves salads. It's priced by ingredient combinations in each category ie proteins, vegetables, condiments, etc. For example I decided to have 2 grains ( brown rice and black beans with spring salad as my base. Then I picked about 8 topping scoops ( minced eggplant, corn, cucumbers, pickled cabbage, black olives, cherry tomatoes, and a few more). Then I decided to go with 2 proteins falafel and harissa chicken, then I added more salad on the top. I mixed 2 dressings Creamy Tahini and Garlic Caesar . This salad was delicious, huge and filling. My brother and SIL's salads were similar except that they chose falafel as their protein. I originally felt it was expensive until I actually made and had eaten my delicious salad. Also, my husband was happy too. The 2 of us ate for $25 . I probably could have gotten 2 meals out of my salad but I was starving. The restaurant is not huge and has outside seating. As stated earlier you stand in line and go down the line choosing your ingredients and then pay at the end at the register. They have an app to earn rewards which you need to swipe pre payment to get your points. Knowing that I was prepared to do that before I paid the bill. If your with another person and know what they want you might want them to save a table for you inside. We went on a weekday and was surprised at how busy the restaurant was in the shopping center. I would definitely go back and try other combinations. The one thing I did not care for in my salad was the falafel balls extremely gummy and not flavorful enough for my taste. The restaurant seemed to not only be busy but also had a lot of takeout orders too. My one big complaint and pet peeve is not having clean tables when others leave. Yes, the diner throws out their utensils, food etc but the tables were not wiped down after the fact. Especially the outdoor tables to me they were to gross to eat at. Yes, they were busy and I would and could have called it to managers attention if I had to sit outside but luckily they had a clean and ready table inside. That is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 4. They are fairly new so it's probably something that will be hopefully worked out after reviews are written. Also, some people aren't as picky about table top wipe downs as I may be ( even pre-Covid too). Again we will go back and as for me I'll ask for my table wiped down and knowing it's a problem there I will probably have wipes with me when we go back. Again, I'm thinking it's something they are too busy to notice and will get corrected. Just adding it to my review so that you're prepared. I will say that everything and everyone serving and making your meal was very clean and kept the area clean too. It's all open so you can see exactly what's going on and in your dish. Hoping on my next visit to give it a forth star. So if you love salads this is a great place with almost a mix and choices of American, Mediterranean, Asian. Mexican ingredients and flavors.

Missed 2 dressings on one meal on an order. Put half chicken instead of full chicken on another.Gave us 1 table spoon of hummus for $4. The additional pita I paid for is the free pita they give you. Avoid this place.

The food was excellent you get to choose what you would like to have on your salad. From leafy to grain for base. Then other proteins added followed by many other choices. Finally several choices of dressing. We have been here several times since it opened and will continue to do so. Love it here.

Was super excited to see this Cava pop up so close to Disney. It's been great to see Cava expand to several locations in Orlando.As a Cava regular, this was pretty good. The only issue I found is that I'm pretty sure they were using the generic salad you can find at the grocery store for their Splendid Greens mix. I've had Cava at many locations across three states so I'm pretty confident in that statement.Otherwise, this was pretty solid and we will be back many times as our local location or coming from Disney.

I was so excited to see this location open up. I placed a pick-up order for two build your own bowls. It was ready on time and everything was accurate and delicious! There's some outdoor seating along with indoor seating, so next time I'll definitely plan on dining in! I liked the build your own bowl option and felt like there was a lot of opportunity to customize it how I wanted.

I was sooo excited to try the new Cava. Walked in and saw an employee wet-phlegm cough over the food and his coworker. Needless to say, we left immediately!

Our first time visiting the Cava restaurant and we were greeted with a smile. The worker was so patient and helpful with our choices of meals. The food was amazing delicious and flavorful. My husband and I enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back again! If we could give it more than five stars we would.

Employee open-mouth coughed over food line and we witnessed spit leaving his mouth. He turned to open the veggie fridge coughing twice more in the same manor. We left immediately.

Ordered delivery through uber eats because I was sick and they did not disappoint!! I recommend the Steak+Harissa bowl or the pitas as i've had both and they are great on portions. They also have a refreshing pineapple apple mint drink that's amazing.
