I will not be visiting Cava again. My last few visits have not been the best, but this time in particular the experience was unacceptable. This location is supposed to be open until 11 p.m. and I showed up at 10:20 p.m., a full 40 minutes before closing and found the whole kitchen and store to be already shutting down leaving myself and remaining customers with the old and hardened scraps left over. There is no reason why a food establishment should be closing down 40 minutes early, terrible management. On top of that, the salmon I got was hard as a rock and smelled awful because it was clearly old due to the kitchen being shut down before I arrived, meaning they were serving old batches of protein. Then to top it off, when I asked for a refund, they told me the manager wasn't around so I would have to come back the following day to initiate a refund...all that after already wasting my time trying to eat here and then being left at 10:40 p.m. to find another place to eat. Very disappointed. read more

CAVA - Glazed Salmon Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Everyone was so nice! I got a free drink and recurved a smile from everyone! The food was delicious!

BYO Mediterranean bowls and salad -- healthy, filling, and pretty good. They do get crowded during lunch but line seems to move fast. Not a fan of the falafel, but the other proteins are good. Dips and pita are tasty! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Found one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. This might be a chain, but I don't mind. The food can be very healthy based on what you choose. The service is kind of fast food style but very clean and efficient. The crowd that usually goes here looked healthy compared to other restaurants. I always get half super greens, rice, half beef, half roasted veggies, Spicy hummus, fiery broccoli, corn. The Skul sauce is so good. Also try horizo sauce. It's phenomenal. Totally recommend. read more

Aug 9, 2025 review: ---- This was a online order, pretty quick to place and order for ready in like 5 mins. There are two options for pickup - by walking to the restaurant or drive through, I chose the restaurant pickup. Bowl has plenty of filling like saffron white rice, black lentils, roasted veg, falafel, hummus, feta, pickled onion, tomato+ onion, cabbage slaw, Persian cucumber, shredded romaine, pita crisp, skhug and also came with pita. I think, next time I would opt for going in person and making my bowl over there. That way I can control the quantity little better - like more veggies and less rice. Sauce on the side were also good. Please note that there are two CAVA location in this proximity so don't get confuse. One in domain and other in arboretum. In general, I've seen domain one pretty full, not a place to park in front. read more

CAVA - Cava falafel bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love this location. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Always nice people, great service here. Pepino helped me and ensured everything was just how I needed it. He was very friendly and warm. He walked around to check on the customers, which this is the only location that I've seen do that. I ordered my favorite, the Harissa Avacado Bowl! Even got a sauce hack from another employee to mix the spicy sauce and balsamic for a sweet and spicy taste. It is delicious. And, of course you have to get the classic pita chips and a lemonade! Soooo gooood!! Nice and clean store. I usually always sit down and enjoy my meal here! read more

CAVA - Harissa Avacado Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was a bad experience. The floor was completely, all over sticky. They must have washed the floor with soda. You could hear and feel your shoes stick and pull. My heel actually pulled out of my shoe. I kid you not. I should have left and gone some place else. If the dinning is disgusting the kitchen can't be up to code. Should have left but I was meeting a friend here so we stayed. Tried to make the best of it. They were busy with the game happening or just ending. A lot of people walking all over The Domain with their supporting jerseys. I placed my order of a pita. Thinking it would be a pocket. Yikes, it's not. It was a complete mess. All the fillings spilled out. No way was I going to try to handle the pita. My friend asked if they had knives. They said they were completely out. So I had to eat my pita with a fork and pull it apart with my fingers. It was messy. Just an unpleasant first impression. I don't see myself going back. It's dirty, and there are thousands of places I'd rather try or repeat going to. It's a flop for me read more

This was my first time to Cava at the Domain or any Cava for that matter. I chose the chicken and rice bowl and my friend chose a pita sandwich. Ordering was pretty straightforward. My chicken and rice bowl was good. However, when I let the cashier know they were out of forks in the utensils container, she said that they were out of knives for the restaurant. Thus, I had to go to my car to get a plastic knife out of my car, which I carry for unexpected needs for utensils. The drink area was completely sticky where I had to wipe my sandals off twice. My friend said her pita sandwich was good but it was pretty runny she had to eat it with a fork since there were no knives. Sub-optimal experience... read more

This was my first time in CAVA - Austin. Is located in a great area in the Domain, with plenty of parking. The place itself is super nice, also the people who take the orders are super friendly and the food did not disappoint. I order a bowl and was amazing, fresh and full of flavor, but my favorite part was the pineapple apple mint SO GOOD! I'll definitely come back for more! read more

Wow. Talk about a fail! Where's the chicken? The red pepper hummus? The tzatziki? The extra roasted veggies I paid for? The side of garlic dressing? This is the worst and saddest pita I've ever seen in my life. And unacceptable for an 18 dollar pita. Y'all really gotta do better. This is pathetic. read more

I ordered my bowl to go on the app. When we arrived we went through the online pick up window however nobody ever came to the window so we had to pull around and go in. Not a big deal for me however a note for the staff to be more attentive or maybe the device to notify them is broken. Anywho I build my own bowl and I really loved it. Everything was fresh and flavorful, the pita bread was a great texture and the sauces put the bowl over the top! Can't wait to come back and try more things . read more

It's wild to me that anyone would rate Cava as less than 5 stars. Sticky floors? Never seen them. Lack of flatware? Not here. I'm sure everyone has their bad days but they're definitely not the norm based on my visits. I never have to wait when I order ahead, but you can also hit the drive through if you don't even want to leave your car. Tons of parking, easy in and out, and a bright, airy dining room if you want to sit and stay a while. Love their refreshing drink options, so much so that I've been known to order just cucumber lemonade and pita chips, which I swear are seasoned with crack. Ridiculously good for being just fried pita wedges, with or without additional spicy seasonings. Sure, the falafel sucks, but I don't come here for that. Build a build with all the veggies, grains, and lentils your heart desires, and it's a steal. Worth it every time. read more

The 515 Congress location is the best! Super friendly, fast customer service! Great lunch option!

Love Cava. Fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. Never a bad moment when visiting Cava. The honey Harissa chicken is my go to. Place was actively being cleaned as customers were leaving. Lots of Natural light with all the glass windows. Bathrooms could use some attention but not surprised with lunch rush being so busy. Great job cava team. read more

CAVA - Will !!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Picked up an online order. They forgot two of our items. No problem, just asked for them at the window again after first person walked away. Was given the missing items. Got home, the food was inedible. The rice was burnt, It was so hard and crunchy, impossible to chew, got stuck all in our teeth. Seems like they just scrapped the bottom of the pan to get the rest of the rice. Both bowls were also missing the broccoli in them. Second bad experience at this location. read more

Run don't walk to CAVA!!! I made my own salad and it was SOO GOOD. Honorable mentions: the honey harissa chicken & the pickled onions. Those two things in particular really made my tastebuds dance. This location also gives really nice portions. 10/10 would recommend. read more

CAVA - Custom salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Super sad to give this location a one star review because I typically love Cava! We visited one weekend and everything was off. Service was slow, they didn't have any straws or forks and the floors were so incredibly sticky, it was like they had not been cleaned in ages. On the way out, I saw a roach on the floor and that just solidified that I will not be coming back :( read more

First of all, I've never been to Cava before and the lovely Victoria walked me through the process and told me all of her favorites and recommendations. The food was SO tasty, the vibes inside were great, music was fun, super busy but such quick service and I wasn't rushed at all, and Orlando rang me up and was so kind. 10/10 recommend this CAVA location! The service was exceptional!! Can't wait to go back read more

People working here are miserable. Have hearing issues, every thing has to be said twice. Even after that she didnt put things i asked for. Then avacado scope only 50% of half and rest in garbage. I paid and got half. Overrated crappy place. I own the stocks and after my first exp here, ill never go back. I hope its not the same business model in all stores. read more

I rarely have issues with my online orders here but the servings are definitely better if you dine-in. Stopped by yesterday and my bowl was delicious! Meat and produce were fresh. The service was pretty quick as well! The only downside would be the overall cleanliness of the dining room. We were there before the dinner rush and tables were dirty and trash cans were piled up. It can be a little off-putting for guests. Hope they can find a solution! read more

They were out of an ingredient so I had to wait for a little bit, but they were very accommodating and offered to make it up by offering me a free addition. It meant a lot and they were so nice! read more

Got door dash from here to deliver at work and we loved it!! I got a create your own bowl and it was so delicious and filling and so flavorful!!! I got half falafel and half chicken and it was soooo good!! The wait time wasn't bad either even with a bunch of coworkers ordering, will definitely order again!! read more

I love Cava, but this location is a mess. The staff is a mix of those who are attentive and want to provide a great customer experience, and those who really just don't care if you want dips in your bowl. I stopped by for a really late lunch (it was almost 5pm lol) and it was packed...perhaps everyone in line also had skipped lunch due to fervent shopping at the Domain, but crowds at that hour still seemed peculiar to me. It took forever for my simple bowl to be made, but eventually I was able to see it make it to the finish line that is the cash register. Despite the slow, lackadaisical mood of this location, at least the food at Cava is still relatively cheap for the nutrients you can get. It could be worse! read more

I finally made my way in after my dental appointment (Swish, across the street) and it truly is like a Mediterranean Chipotle lol. It's "alright" gotta dress it up right to YOUR liking of course.

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

You can think of Cava as Chipotle gone Mediterranean or Honest Mary's gone halal (not really, only their lamb and pita are certified). It's a quick, casual greens and grains outfit that is perfect when you want fast food by the Domain, but don't want to feel gross afterward. I enjoyed most of my custom bowl, especially the honey harissa chicken (a pleasant amount of sweet heat), pickled onions, hummus, and date vinaigrette. I was put off by the number of large cabbage cores and gristly bits of meat that I encountered, so a little more quality control would be helpful. The woman prepping my bowl was unbelievably efficient and friendly. Seating was plentiful and the outdoor tables were surprisingly peaceful given their proximity to Braker. read more

Literally my new fav. The staff is friendly, the scoops are big, the food is fresh, the location is clean. Just make sure you ask for your complimentary pita! I can't stop going here! read more

CAVA - BYOB- grilled chicken, red pepper hummus, crazy feta, feta, tomatoes & onions, broccoli, arugula, basmati rice, corn & garlic dressing - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

First time trying CAVA and I was quickly a fan. Truly too bad there's not one location closer but if there was I would be there often no doubt. While eating my make your own bowl I said "wow this is what all fast food should be like". Service was fast, assembly line style I did mention I have a tree nut allergy and the people serving were looking things up best they could for me, but they also had a QR code to scan to check for allergens. I felt energized, satisfied, and happy with the choice I made. I will definitely be eating at CAVA again, sooner than later. read more

the girl at the pickup window was AMAZZZINNNGGGG!! so kind and energetic and let me try all the sauces since I hadn't before, explaining all of them with passion I have never before seen at cava lol. looooove her down!!!! I hope they appreciate her read more

This was my first time here. I love that all of the items are listed on the glass with their ingredients. This made it much easier for me to determine what was safe for me to eat due to my various food allergies and intolerances. I was able to make a bowl full of flavor. The staff was knowledgeable about the ingredients and helped me by pointing out items to avoid. The place is casual which made it a perfect place to eat after a hike. I will definitely be back. read more

Unfortunately they were out of a lot of ingredients as I figured out while ordering Customer service was horrible!!!!!!! No hello No asking what I wanted in the bowl When asked a question about what was what no answer Bowl was thrown to the side when asked if they had chicken (which clearly there wasn't they were annoyed I asked for some) Unfortunately i decided to not even to continue my order n my other 5 orders I was planning on getting because it was just uncomfortable and unfriendly This is such a shame because I was bringing someone in my group for the first time n that was embarrassing to rave so much about a place tht I Normally go to ,.. Other note: serving area was messy ! Ingredients thrown n other ingredients bowls ,.. counter tops messy with food droppings n oils read more

I'm so happy I got to try Cava. I built my own bowl with a salad and rice base, some chicken, veggies, and sauces - everything in the bowl tasted fresh. I saved a portion for lunch the next day, and it still tasted great. This location is in The Domain, but that's a bit misleading. It's about a mile walk from the shops in The Domain. This location did have a ton of indoor and outdoor seating and the restaurant had open windows, which was nice because the weather was 85 degrees outside. The line moves fairly quickly, and it took us about 10 minutes to build the bowl and start eating. I'd love more Cava locations to open up back home. read more

This place is awesome! The food is consistent and exactly what you'd expect from CAVA. If you haven't been to a CAVA before, it is mediterranean style cuisine that is served fresh with a lot of customizable options. All of them are good. I am a fan of the hot honey chicken with greens and grains. They usually give you enough food for two meals (depending on your appetite). But on to the real review for this location. The manager James is hilarious and you can tell the team likes working together. It's like a comedy show coming in. read more
