I give the food itself 5 stars, I loved the Harissa Avocado bowl! It was tasty & the cucumber mint lime drink was soo good, definitely recommend getting it. However, I was disappointed with my portion size. My sister & I both made an online pick up order & we got the same bowl, yet mine had significantly less than hers & she immediately pointed it out. I checked the reviews & pictures posted of different bowls & I was definitely played with how little food I was given. I read reviews that they're not always stocked on ingredients & this seemed true. I was missing a few items from my bowl but they didn't bother letting me know or asking if I wanted to replace it with anything else. Parking spots are tight & there seemed to be other cars taking up spots that weren't customers so parking is limited. read more

Love love love Cava! Fresh ingredients, line always moves pretty fast. I normally order the kids pita with the honey chicken, fire roasted corn and tomato + cucumbers with basmati rice. The pita chips are a must! This restaurant is located in a plaza with free parking. Highly recommend read more

Maddie was fabulous! So nice & fast. definitely recommend coming. Vibe of the CAVA was very calm and nice.

We had a wonderful experience at the Cava restaurant in East Cobb. Everything was delicious! AND Kyra was very kind and helpful. read more

Worst meal of 2025. Waited 12 minutes at the cash register for someone to check me out. The person behind me started laughing because it was so bad that all you could do was laugh. Got home, and we ended up throwing away most of the food bc it was cold, undercooked, and no part of it was redeemable. My dog didn't even want it and he'll literally eat anything. read more

Food is always great here, if they have what you want. You must go in person if you ever want your order done correctly. Unfortunately, if you have to go inside then you get the regrettable pleasure of meeting the staff. Not sure who does their training, but I highly recommend revamping the program. Every time I've been in I am pretty sure the employees are having a competition to see who is the most miserable. Most of the time I would say they should all win. It's a shame because the place is usually very clean and the food quality is very good. I hope they turn it around because I have gone much less over the last year. read more

My daughter wanted to stop by and have lunch while we was visiting &' when I say the customer service was soooo great, Dk, Leslie,Josh,Mag was very helpful once we told them it was our 1st time there. They gave great suggestions base on our food liking. Again the customer service was great and so was the food, Thanks for the great hospitality!! We will be back. read more

Ordered for the first time online and they totally forgot my sides of dressing. This sweet and spicy pita nothing to write home about. No sweet just spicy since the date vinegrette and garlic dressing is missing. read more

So I would rate this bowl second behind the Harissa Avocado Bowl and before the Lentil Avocado Bowl. ALL of the bowls are great in my opinion BUT the portion size does depend on who is working. I've been there enough to know that if I see a certain someone that I'd rather come back another day. This day it was pretty crowded in the building so I decided to eat in my car. read more

People raved to me about this pricy place I drove in the rain to try it one day near Cumberland Mall I threw it all in the trash after one bite. And I loathe wasting food! I had the falafel salad It was nothing to it read more

Straightforward Persian inspired bowls. Lots of food for the money/ I usually end up making two meals out of my bows.

I placed my order online before I left the office. It was ready on time. The staff at this location were competent, accommodating, and kind. I have no complaints. It was clean and the food was delicious. Parking was free and ample. I do not believe they deserve 1 or 3 stars. The location appears to be well-run to me and they are only accepting on-line orders at this time. read more

I'm a chipotle fan. Always have been and don't plan to stop, however, my boyfriend loves Cava and wanted me to try it. The photo I'm submitting probably doesn't help because I dove into the food and mixed it all up before I remembered to get a photo but the food was so good. It's something about the different tastes and flavors all mixed into one bowl that worked out perfectly. Super yummy! Definitely going back...oh wait I went back two days later and still forgot to get a good photo lol next time. read more

LOVE Cava..hate the wait. Maybe it's on me to do the same thing a couple of times yet, expect a different result. Despite ordering online for pickup, my order is never ready at the provided time. I've waited up to 20 mins past the ready time for my order. This location looks to be fully staffed, especially during peak time. read more

I placed an order for pick up with extra chicken and some extra toppings. I picked up the plate and immediately knew they did not add my extras - the plate felt very light. I told them and they added the extras but I really don't like that they missed that especially something I paid extra for. They're also pretty stingy with the toppings. Food is too expensive for small portions. I used to really like Cava but I think they've gone downhill. read more

Food is tasty. But, the staff is rude, unprofessional and they really could care less. I ordered online, said would be ready at 1130am, I didn't get my food until 12p. I wasn't alone, multiple people complained about the same issue. Staff was slow, you could see them eating. I waited patiently only to have food cold and sloppy. Picture below. If they can't handle volume yet stop online orders for lunch until they train their staff better. read more

CAVA - So sloppy and cold - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This was disappointing. The lentils were hard, and the portion sizes were shallow. My bowl was half full not quite what I expected. When I asked about how little was in the bowl, the guy said that they are challenged by management on the portions that they gave, and if he gave me a little more, he would have to charge more. The cashier picked up the pita bread with her hand and put it in a bag and then continued to ring the register. Won't return there. It was shift change, and the line was out the door. However, they continued to shift change and did not have enough assistance. read more

I was really sad to see Zoes Kitchen close, but I'm happy to see the location was taken over by Cava. I'm a really big fan of the make your own bowl concept especially with fresh ingredients. There are tons of fresh selections to choose from here. The young man who helped me was very polite and patient as I made my selections. He also gave me some recommendations as well. For my bowl I decided to do greens and grains for my base (splendid greens & right rice), for my dips I choose tzatziki & hummus (you can select 3), for my protein I selected grilled chicken, for my toppings I selected pickled onions, feta, tomato cucumber salad, and kalamata olives. For my dressing I selected the lemon herb tahini. My bowl was delicious and very filling. I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I will definitely be returning in the near future. read more

What can I say. This is my 4th time visiting Cava in 2 weeks. I love this place. I have been to several locations in Atlanta and none of them have disappointed me. I hope they all keep it up!!!! read more

Let me start off by saying my first visit to this location was amazing. I went on a Saturday afternoon and got the best service. I was a little hesitant in the beginning to give this place a try because I was still in my feelings about ZOE's not being here anymore. I absolutely loved that place, the service and food were always consistent. Anyway back to my first visit. The guy who helped me walked me through the options and the cashiers were soo friendly. The food was amazing. I got the Chicken Rightrice bowl I made some adjustments to avoid the onions and feta cheese. The food was amazing as I mentioned before. I was so thrilled to return this is where the story gets interesting ..... So I returned to my newly found spot earlier this week. I was so excited to get the same bowl I got last time because like I said the food was amazing. It's very rare that I have a bad experience. If you read my reviews for the most part I always have some of the best customer service well not this particular day. So I went into Cava. Sometimes you can't tell if People are ordering or waiting around. So I'm up next and most times you are greeted like" hi how can I help you". Instead of letting me know she was ready she just stared at me so I proceed to say Hi , and place why order. This is where the attitude starts. She then says " what do you want" I tell her again and ask if we can go with a different rice option. She then turns around and with an attitude goes " which one" so at this point sis has to be having a bad day so I ask .. are you having a good day with a smile. Her response with the same attitude, Yea you lololol .. (I'm like ok yikesss) So as we continue she builds my bowl just slapping my food in the bowl!! I was like yea I'll definitely be praying over this when I get home lol. She was rude until the very end but then told me to have a good day Lolol. I understand sometimes people have a bad day and always try to extend grace but mannnn come on. Anyway I barely have 3 stars but felt it was on right because the first interactions I had on my initial visit were good! read more

My best friend has been trying to get me to try Cava for over a year now. Prior to this location opening the closest location was near perimeter mall. While o do occasionally go to that area, I never found myself in need of a meal when I was in the proximity of that location. When I realized that Zoe's Kitchen was being replaced with Cava I was actually excited for the change. I had the pleasure of dining at this spot on the one-launch day. My first meal was a bowl that I created. If you have never been to CAVA think chipotle with healthier options. For example, the base of my bowl was started with super greens( cabbage, chicory,Brussels sprouts, broccolini and kale) , and black lentils! I did get my bowl to go. When I arrived home I devoured my meal! The food was fresh, and the combination of all the flavors worked. The staff on pre-launch day told me I would be back. She was correct! The following week I dinned at Cava for lunch and dinner a total of 3 times. It's an easy way to get your carbs, protein and veggies in a meal. The reason for the average rating??? I picked up a bowl at this spot again yesterday. I can already tell that it's headed for disaster. The employees were not welcoming and the drink area was in disarray. I hate that this place is already on the decline so soon. One last thing, the salted Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies are very good! Don't get addicted to them! read more

I have been to better locations, the staff is rude. Make sure you treat each guest the same. read more

They are becoming the new chipotle. I mean, they give me a fistful of salad, it wasn't even half a salad. This portion size was something for a toddler. I don't understand why you wanna be Skippy on the lettuce and rice and then pile on all the little sides. And then the people that work behind the glass, they're rude. The eye rolls the gestures I mean, like why do I have to come and get all of the extra shit. So I decided never to eat at Cava again because why pay $15 and leave with Just toppings. If you are in the Smyrna area go to BEZORIA. The food is fresher. It tastes better and they're generous.. read more

I recently saw a name change on the building that previously housed Zoes Kitchen and tried it. It's a build your own wrap or bowl concept however, there were some signature wraps on the menu. I opted for the spicy chicken pita and am so glad I tried it. The pita was a considerable portion that I divided into two meals. Most importantly, it was a complete symphony of flavor. The spice was bold but not overwhelming to my tastebuds. The avocado balanced it out well. There are some growing pains with the service, but I'll err on the side of grace since I didn't witness anything egregious. read more

I never am the one to leave a bad review for a restaurant but this was undoubtedly the worst experience I might have ever had. I went to cava because I love the food, however, I was met with the most unprofessional service I have ever witnessed. When I walked in I was about 15 ppl back in line. When I finally made it to the front, I made it halfway through my order when they said we're waiting on more chicken it'll be just a minute. So I said no worries. 8-10 min later they finally put chicken out. In that time, the employees weren't behind the counter; they went to the back or they went to the side of the restaurant, were singing, dancing, and paid zero attention to the customers. Eventually I sat down and just observed. It only got worse. Over ten people stood and waited in line and for their to go orders for over 20 min, again while the employees continued to crack jokes with each other. I counted 10 people walk out of the restaurant. They even messed up one persons order and the employee turned around and burst into laughter. The shame is that because Cava is such a massive chain I don't expect much to come of this as every location is different. Management could easily look at the video and see their staff goofing off instead of helping customers. They would also clearly see all of their customers walk out of the restaurant. Very sad to see a great restaurant chain be diluted with such disrespectful employees who don't care about paying customers. read more

This review is for my 3rd and last time at this Cava location. I rarely leave reviews and when I do, they are mainly to rave about my great experience. However, this one is not a happy review. First of all, the customer service is subpar at best. It seems like there is little to no management oversight whatsoever at this location. There is no organization. There was one person making the orders and another person on the register. Then at some point, register guy turned into "making food" guy. No change of gloves or concern for sanitation. At one point, I saw one of the servers dip his hand into the lettuce bag to put spinach in the bowl of the person in front Mr me. What??!? Then register guy was at the order post when it finally was my turn order. He literally just stared at me. No greeting or anything. I even said "hello" and paused for his response. Nothing. He just looked at me like he was confused about why I was there. I ordered the Harissa avocado bowl with arugula instead of the power greens. He added the rice and arugula then stared at me. I then repeated my order because outside of the arugula, I made no changes to the Harissa avocado bowl. Then the finale...he covered my bowl, put the dressing on top, rang it up, then walked back to the ordering section without saying anything. I didn't even know he had rung it up. I paid and had to get my own bag. If I wasn't so hungry I would have left that bowl right on the counter and walked out. The food at Cava is typically good, but it's not worth the rudeness and slowness of the staff. Even with 3 people on the food line it took forever to get my food. It's hard to continue spending money in a place that literally acts like they could care less if you're there. Customer service is important to me and businesses will do better once they realize the edge it gives them. 3 strikes and I'm out. I will not be returning. read more

Horrible Service Don't order online. This is my third time ordering online and the orders are never ready. Today I was charged for a bowl with no protein even though I paid for it. They lack customer service. The worse cava in the area. read more

I WISH I COULD LEAVE NO STARSSS!!!!!! THE ABSOLUTELY WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!! A RUDE employee named TK was extremely loud, disrespectful and unprofessional. He greeted me by saying, "AYE, you gonna pay for that?!" when I was reading the beverage bottles. I was on the phone with my MOTHER when he yelled, "Aye! No phones in the line!" When I checked him on it, he argued back and forth with me and talked about me to his other rude co-worker who had the white rubber bands in his hair as well as in front of other customers. My 14 year old even told them they were rude! This was our first time trying Cava and now I don't ever want to go back, because WHO TF do y'all have running y'all storesss??? I rarely leave reviews but I just had to!! It was so terrible! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!! read more

I have been a regular at cava since the first time I tried it! The quality at this location is giving the brand a horrible reputation. I am usually able to overlook the fact that my meal is always a different price despite me LITERALLY GETTING THE SAME THING EVERY TIME, but this last encounter was too much. When I brought this to the attention of the manager, they responded by saying that employees must not be ringing things incorrectly.. no empathy or accountability was held & I was still told to pay for my overpriced bowl. Not only was the rice in my bowl stale, but I found a piece of plastic mixed in w my pickled onions. I was soo looking forward to enjoying my cava bowl when I got off work but now, because they are closed, not only have I wasted my money but I have to find/ cook something else to eat. Extremely disappointing read more

This was my first experience at this location and I was please. I was reluctant after reading the negative reviews; however, I decided to give it a try. The I got a falafel and roasted vegetables bowl and all of the ingredients were fresh. They did not skimp on the ingredients. I did visit shortly after opening and they were placing out freshly cooked foods. The establishment was very clean. I look forward to trying again in the future. read more

Portions are comically tiny. It didn't used to be like this. People complain about Chipotle's serving sizes, but in comparison Chipotle servings are a feast and Cava is war rationing. There was literally an employee hovering over the guy making my bowl literally coaching him to give me less food. They were laughing and joking about it. I got like 2 pieces of chicken. I'm not kidding. Bezoria is literally right around the corner so there is no reason to literally ever come here. I will not be back. Besides, the floor in there was filthy, sticky, and there was trash and napkins. read more

They skimp on everything even when you ask for extra anything. I don't understand how you can be like that when WERE PAYING FOR IT!!

Major improvement, the staff is very responsive, friendly and very helpful. Was very pleased with my experience today. All of the food is on point and prepared perfectly. So much more flavor than my last visit here. Increasing my review score due to my positive experience! read more

Overall: I would absolutely recommend this place for their friendly staff, food quality, atmosphere, and overall value Vibe: Chipotle-esque Food: amazing food. All categories Sauces are even better. Garlic and Vinaigrette for the win Drinks: pineapple mint drink Service: great service, attention to detail and quick Prices: fair for the portion size and freshness / quality. Recommend food & drink: Bowl with all the toppings. Persian Pickles and Picked onions are some favorites. read more

I don't normally leave food reviews but this was a particularly awful experience. In fact, I regretted my decision to go as soon as I entered the doors, but I had already ordered online. There was a palpable tension in the air. A group of people standing off to the side, all waiting for to-go orders. And then a line to the door of people waiting to order. I asked one woman how long she'd been standing there waiting on her order and she said 40 minutes. I showed up at my pick-up time with nothing completed. I didn't mind waiting but I was there another 35 minutes watching the manager aimlessly wander and laugh around. And the staff just seemed clueless. They rudely serviced customers in line and kept throwing bowls left and right to the point where they'd be mixing up the customers standing right before them. All of the workstations were filthy. When customers waiting before me expressed their frustration, the manager was less than helpful. She stormed around the restaurant angrily while talking about the customers directly in their faces. When I finally got my food, it was so cold and sloppily thrown together in a haste, which I didn't understand because I had already been waiting there so long and I was not making a fuss about it at all. Also, no one thought to tell me that they were out of falafel, which I paid extra for, and hummus. Overall, it was a terrible experience. I will not return. read more

I visited Cava on Cobb parkway on December 4th to pick up an order confirmed and paid for 6:45. Upon arrival at 7:13, I encountered an incredibly disappointing and unprofessional situation. A lady, identified by a nametag reading "Dev," emerged from the back in a confrontational manner, raising her voice and denying having the order in their system. She repeatedly demanded confirmation and insisted I wait until she located the order, disregarding the confirmed payment and the time elapsed. Despite my polite request for assistance and having paid for the order, she prioritized attending to other customers behind me. Shockingly, she refused to rectify the paid order, declined a refund, and even went so far as to threaten me. This behavior is unacceptable, especially in a place I frequent regularly, recommending it to others, and bringing my employees for meals. I'm deeply disappointed that an employee representing Cava, a place I've supported and promoted with a substantial social media following, treated a loyal customer in such a disrespectful and discriminatory manner. It's bewildering that the company, led by CEO Brett Schulman, would allow such unprofessional conduct and the mishandling of a customer issue, especially one as straightforward as a delayed order. This experience has left me feeling violated, invalidated, and discriminated against. It's undoubtedly the worst encounter I've had at a dining establishment. I still have no refund and no food because Dev refused to prepare my order ... wow read more
