Good West Annapolis pizza! Wife & I enjoyed it. Generous portions of ingredients and lots of color- the more colors on pizza the healthier. Service was friendly- a little uncertainty upon entering our first time. The lady sat us and service was timely, courteous/ respectful and she was trying to be friendly but we could tell it might have been her first day. She was nice. The inside area was very clean and presents as open areas on ceilings and comfortably arranged seating area and bar. I got the impression HH was only at the bar- not crazy about that rule. Kinda puts a limit on who gets to be comfortable during HH. Just saying... I like the place if things change I will change my rating. Right now they deserve a chance to prove how good the Italian food and pizza are. We needed a brick oven pizzeria in West Annapolis pizza! We are going back ! read more

I very rarely leave reviews, but this was the worse Chinese food I have ever had! To start with, they forgot to give me the Imperial Rolls I ordered and paid for. The Chicken Chow Mein was flavorless and there were only small finely diced pieces of Chicken. The Pork Fried Rice was also flavorless, with next to no meat. The Hot and Sour Soup was not hot nor sour and was watered down and contained very little, other than broth. For us, this restaurant is "One and Done" read more

CAVA Annapolis: where the staff smiles warmly, the store sparkles, and your order is assembled in a way that could best be described as "interpretive abstract." I'm still not sure if they were making a grain bowl or a modern art installation, but hey, art is subjective. Now, about the utensils. There were approximately 14,379 forks. No knives. Not one. When I mentioned this, the response was... well, let's call it "emotionally consistent with someone listening to whale noises in their head." Very zen. Very Labrador-being-told-about-quantum-mechanics energy. Timing here? It's its own category. Not quite fast casual, not quite slow food. More of a "we'll get there when we get there" vibe. Like a road trip with no map, but at least the music is good. Highlight of the visit? Watching a young man "wash" his hands. One hand at a time. No soap. It was a bold choice -- hygiene minimalism, if you will. The glove application that followed? A true masterclass in confidence over competence. And yet... I'll probably be back. Because despite all this, the people are nice, the place is clean, and even interpretive grain bowls have their charm. Plus, I'm kind of invested now. I want to see if a knife ever appears. read more

I ordered here via the app for myself and three others. I had a tight window of of time to do so. I ordered three of the Chicken + rice bowls, one of which was customized, and a Greek salad. All of the food came out correct. It was not quite done when I got there, but it was done before the time I was given. They also kept me updated via text messages to let me know when it would be ready. The food was delicious. The only comment from another frequent Cava customer was that the bowls were not full. read more

Great service at Cava in Annapolis! Firstly, I'd like to give a shoutout to the team at Cava--the service was extremely quick. Corinna built our bowls for us and was super helpful with recommending the best meats and sauces for a first-time Cava customer (myself). The food was similar to Mezeh, but tasted fresher and more savory. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and the food was super flavorful. I'd also recommend the Pineapple Apple Mint fresh-squeezed juice! Thank you Corinna and Cava! read more

I came around noon on a weekday and there was an average lunch crowd. Service was still smooth and the slight wait gave me time to look over the options. I choose the steak bowl with almost every veggie addition and the harasa sauce ( 6/10 on the heat scale). Food was fresh and tasty however the portions were small. The lemonades were great I had blackberry lemon and plan to go back for the strawberry melon. The store was clean when we arrived but looked like it was hard for staff to keep up with cleaning tables with the lunch crowd. The parking lot is tricky and fills quickly. Nice, safe area. read more

It was the worst meal I have had served to me in a while. The restaurant was a mess , food was wilted, old and not fresh. The menu was a difficult to understand and service personnel inexperienced. Maybe were got there at a bad time, 5:30 pm, but the place was almost empty which have given us a clue as to the quality of food. Portions were for a child and the only greens we got looked like they were picked at the side of the road. read more

While I was out running errands, my mom said she was hungry and Cava was nearby. I've eaten at a Cava before, so I had base knowledge of the overall vibe and offerings, but this was my first time at this specific location. I ordered a honey harissa chicken bowl with supergreens and my mom got what I *think* was lamb over basmati in a bowl. The portion sizes were good which I think was a blessing given how much it was ($40 for two people including drinks and a side of pita chips). The food tasted fresh, the veggies were vibrant and cut through the richness / fattiness of meat and toppings, and they definitely don't skimp on seasoning their food. The reason this isn't a 5 star is because the location could have been a little cleaner in the seating area and the pita chips, while crispy and delicious, did taste like they had been sitting for a little bit before we bought them -- not a huge gripe as we came in around lunch and they were probably just preparing for a rush, which is understandable, but still a minor disappointment. Overall, this was a solid visit and I'm happy there's a fast casual option nearby that serves something that isn't burgers and fries. read more

Food tastes alright but they give you VERY small portions, even when you ask for more. The pita was quite hard and was not fresh. Also, the staff did not greet me, rushed me through my order (although there were no other customers in line), and just weren't very friendly overall. I'll stick to my usual Cava location. read more

This location has the friendliest staff!! I come here frequently, mainly order online, however today I had time to walk through the line. The two ladies that helped me today were Karyna and Yenci. Incredibly nice and professional even during the busy lunch flow! I hope they are working every time I have a chance to come through the line. The food is always delicious as well. This top tier customer service really stood out to me. Wonderful women behind that counter! KD read more

It was my first time eating there.The food was good. I ordered a build your own with a Strawberry Citrus drink. The drink was really good. The place reminds me of Chipotle. The service was great. I didn't have any problems ordering or checking out. There was line to order but it was too long. It wasn't busy. There is outdoor seating was nice. This is a place you can meet up with co workers or friends for lunch or dinner. I would go back again. Nice size space inside. read more

The food was fresh and made to order in no time flat - could not have been better. The protein and veggie's were tasty, and the garlic dressing was the best. Karyna waited on me today and was especially helpful, had a cheery smile and was very quick and accurate - what a pleasure. read more

Rosa, Kim, and Yenci all did a great job! Great service, food and atmosphere. Will be returning soon!

CAVA Annapolis has healthy, delicious, and creative salad bowls. The staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. Silvana and Karyna are hard-working and professional and they make the lunchtime crowds feel welcome. I look forward to my lunch at CAVA whenever I am in Annapolis. read more

I sent my husband to pickup a Greek chicken pita...no olives or tomato/onion. Although it tasted AMAZING I feel there was a few other ingredients missing?? I will definitely be going back. Like very soon! So good. Also tried the pineapple apple mint drink. Very thirst quenching. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood. Ps- the pickles are the bomb read more

We're now on a low sodium, low fat, heart diet and got stuck at lunch time outside of our home. Cava rescued us with its lemon chicken bowl. It was delicious and had lots of toppings to fill you up, and when ordered online, was in the take out section on time. My only complaint was that 2 salad and 1 drink cost me 30 dollars. When did salads get so expensive? ‍ read more

Cava is delicious, but this location leaves a LOT to be desired. My BIGGEST gripe with them is messing up to go orders. I placed a big order online and one of the bowls was made wrong. When I contacted Cava to replace the bowl that was messed up - I received a $6 credit, which will cover like, 1/3rd the price of my order. What a joke. How hard would it of been to comp a returning customer a meal because of YOUR error? Not coming back here, and officially over the Cava hype. Treat your customers better and go somewhere they value your time and money. read more

I love CAVA. The food is fresh, delicious and innovative. I basically get the same thing every time because it's so delicious. The only issue is they get kind of lax on bringing out the online orders. Expect to wait well past your pickup time. read more

The worest CAVA in the DMV. No customer service, style, tastes, or knowledge of the food! BWT: very dirty! read more

Great service and quality of food at this location. We enjoy CAVA for a delicious meal that is affordable and consistently good!

Staff was kind and friendly. Food was fresh and delicious. We love Cava and having a healthy "fast food" option.

I walked in 3 mins early for opening.. the doors were unlocked so I didn't even realize I was there before opening. Instead of saying hi or anything kind.. the employee screamed at me that they weren't open. I might've considered just waiting but I don't want to spend money somewhere the employees are rude. read more

An overall terrible experience to say the least. The employee, Amanda, was very unprofessional and rude. My bowl was taken to the back to add ingredients and when I asked for less rice due to dietary restrictions, she became enraged and full of attitude. She also threatened me saying she would "smack the shit out of me" and fake-rushed behind the counter as if she was going to approach me. Very deplorable and I'm looking forward to a follow-up. These types of experiences are a horrible reflection of the brand. I am an avid Cava consumer; however, this was my first time at this location, and I have never experienced anything like this before in a Cava establishment. People embodying these types of behaviors should not be in service/hospitality. read more

This was our first visit and Claudi kindly and patiently helped us figure out how to order a delightful meal. Good prices, healthy food and friendly helpful staff. read more

Came right at opening. Service quick and friendly. The location/restaurant pretty basic but spacious. I ordered a bowl with steak. Everything was fresh but my steak was mostly gristle. The other ingredients were great. If I do CAVA again I probably will avoid the steak. read more

One thing you'll find in most of all the negative reviews is they start with "the food was good". I guess that's good enough for me. I haven't had any experience with poor customer service. The kids that work there are always exceedingly nice to the point where I end up trying to give them a tip (they have to refuse, what's up with that, corporate?) It's May 2022 and every business is essentially short staffed. Take it easy. They've got kitchen people trying to work the line. I don't want to discount other people's experiences, I just haven't once seen the poor service in my dozen visits. read more

I like Cava for what it offers - a wide creative range of Mediterranean-inspired salads and pitas. I like picking a basic menu item and being able to tweak it with a little extra of this or that. It's nice to have a place with fundamentally healthy and appetizing cuisine. read more

Consistently good food with consistently sloooowwww service. At least 2 staff short in front all the time so have to believe it's management not inability to hire. They really need to improve! read more

the food was delicious, but the service was terrible! The person that assisted me was Harmony. She was very rude and unprofessional. she has a nasty attitude and was not paying attention to what I wanted. read more

I was very disappointed in the food and service. When Zoe's was in that location, I could count on a friendly greeting and tasty, well prepared food for a reasonable price. A few days ago, I visited Cava for the first time expecting at least friendly people behind the counter. Instead, I received no greeting or friendly interaction, sloppily assembled poorly prepared over-priced food. read more

service is terrible, please get new staff or teach them respectful mannerism. Very displeasing to say the least.

Worst Cava experience ever. We love Cava but this branch continues to disappoint. Walked in at 4 pm yesterday planning to order three bowls. The only green available was romaine. We were told "it's Sunday". Dressings weren't put on the correct bowls. Dressings had to be put on the bowls bc they had no to go cups for the dressing on the side. We'll bring our Cava from Montgomery county next time we head to Annapolis. read more

I went to the recently opened CAVA in Annapolis. I hoped that the negative reviews reflected that it had newly opened. The food tasted good and the servers seemed okay. That's where the positives end. There was a thumbtack in my Greek salad bowl!!!! I immediately felt it it my mouth. I'm relieved that it didn't cut me or that it wasn't swallowed! The manager was very apologetic and reimbursed me. However, despite my suggestion that they first inspect the food, they continued to serve a long line of customers. I don't understand how a thumbtack can fall into food and not be noticed and removed. This never happened to me in over 50 years of restaurant outings. Needless to say, I'm never going back! read more

This location has gotten better. They sometimes might forget to add a couple items to my bowl, and sometimes they don't give me a bag. Cava is great, but I guess not every location can be perfect every time? Definitely has improved since they first opened though. read more

Very good very surprised. Was not expecting it. Best salad I ever had. Now we Definity go every week.

If you look past the hygiene issues, Cava is just OK. There was food on the floor, and none of the tables were cleaned in the 30 minutes we were there. The bathrooms were disgusting As for the food, the staff was unsure about what to do; it appears that two of the people working the line were either new or untrained. The lentils were undercooked. The sauces were good. Lamb meatballs and the falafel were better than average. The different fresh-made drinks were phenomenal. read more

First time eating Cava- ordered through Uber Eats to have delivered to AAMC where my daughter is in Labor and Delivery. Major disappointment. My daughter said how "good" Cava is. This food was NOT good. She said she's only eaten it IN the restaurant - and watches how it is made. I understand why! Too many things missing from my greens and grains bowl. Asked for half chicken and half falafel. NO falafel and maybe 4 tiny pieces of chicken. ALL three dips completely missing. No napkins, no utensils. Is this something you need to request? Guess I'm confused as to how these things are assembled- there's an entire list to follow as to what to add. Seems the employees aren't paying attention or don't care. $12+ is too much to pay for things not received. CAVA is more than welcome to bring me all the things that were missing. This left me hungry and grumpy. I needed to have the protein for some good energy tonight waiting for a baby to be born. CAVA failed. read more

Order is never right ha. Terrible man. Waiting 20 Minutes for my food tonight no one in the restaurant and order two orders of bread and get 0. read more
