    Chicken Shawarma
    Thomas A.

    First time trying Cava. Its a fast casual restaurant like chipotle. The place is busy but service is fast. The food is very flavorful but the server was very stingy with how they gave portions and they are not that friendly. I like how much different juice options they have.

    This CAVA bowl
    Jessica M.

    I placed 2 orders today, Order #1: 4 bowls with utensils and sauces, order #2: 2 bowls with utensils and sauces. We received ZERO utensils in both orders and missing many sauces. 2 bowls were not labeled so I assume this is one reason sauces were left out. :( It was a busy lunch hour but I didn't realize until I got back to work. (Also, the table I sat at was dirty but I was just waiting for my online order. Again, it was a busy ) I love Cava, maybe it was just an off day. Today is my birthday and I chose Cava as my birthday lunch celebration.

    Steak and Feta Bowl

    My favorite fast casual restaurant in Austin. I'm a regular at this location, and the staff has always been phenomenal. They are kind, generous in their serving sizes, and clean! The lamb meatballs are the star of my go-to bowl. You cannot sleep on the garlic and/lemon herb tahini dressing. Other major highlights include the crazy feta and harissa sauce, though the harissa could serve to even be a little spicier! The price is decent for the quality you get, and I am SO happy that I live nearby. Thank you CAVA!

    Spicy harissa

    Great spot for fresh, flavorful, and customizable Mediterranean cuisine. With a modern, inviting atmosphere, it's a great place for a quick meal or a relaxed dining experience for lunch. The restaurant offers a good, build-your-own-bowl concept that blends traditional Mediterranean ingredients with a contemporary twist. I got the spicy harissa and it has a nice, fiery kick that lingers but isn't overpowering, adding a bold depth of flavor to any bowl

    Rock in food

    Ordered two bowls and my husbands had a rock in it. He could've chipped a tooth. I called three times with no answer. There wasn't an answering machine set up either.

    Always so good! All the toppings are so good, I love the crazy feta, baba ganoush, and tahini dressing. Place is always clean and service is quick. The price is pretty reasonable too.

    Tip: Order in person to get more food on your plate rather than online, or on the app.

    Greek chicken bowl
    Jamie P.

    Surprisingly huge portions! We got two entrees because we had never visited before, little did we know we could have split one entree. We got the Greek chicken pita and bowl. Both were really good, but I think I'd prefer the pita. Ingredients seemed fresh and the employees were getting people through the line quickly and were kind.

    Falafel
    Steph C.

    I ordered a Falafel Crunch bowl for takeout. It only came with 2 very small one so I ordered 2 extra at $1.15 each. I get home and bite into one, it's hard as a rock. Can't eat it. I bite another one, it is flavorless. Like these Falafel were leftover from lunchtime. I tried calling the store no one answers and you can't leave a message. I paid $14 for bs. Y'all are canceled

    Spicy Greens Bowl
    Sean C.

    Needed to grab a quick lunch and I heard CAVA was going to be opening in Kyle, Texas soon so when a coworker suggested it I was quick to agree. The concept is the popular in bread or in bowl idea that is akin to Freebirds, Mod and Chi'Lantro but in this case, the bread is Pita and the filling is Mediterranean inspired. We got there just before noon and walked right up to order. Apparently we missed the rush by about 5 minutes.... But the service was fast and they were very nice and explained a few things to me (first time visitor and not the most well versed in Mediterranean cuisine). I ordered the Balsamic Date Chicken bowl which has an eggplant dip & red bell pepper dip. I ordered it as it came and it was fairly delicious. The perfect amount of food for lunch. I'll certainly be back.

    BYO bowl with spicy lamb meatballs (+$2) and strawberry citrus drink
    Kara M.

    Cava is a great spot for quick, tasty, relatively healthy Mediterranean food. I always call it the "Mediterranean Chipotle" since it's the same concept of building your own bowl or pita wrap. I've never been disappointed in the flavor, just the portion for the price (can easily be about $18 for a bowl w/upgraded meat and a drink). Complimentary pita on the side is optional. You select your grain or salad (or 1/2 and 1/2), your dips and spreads (up to 3), protein (upcharge for spicy lamb meatballs or harissa honey chicken), toppings, and dressings. Maybe it's just because I only got meatballs (you get 4), but my last bowl felt so small for what I paid. The flavors are awesome, though, and you can always add extra portions of toppings or meat. Overall, I love eating at Cava when I'm in the mood for quick and convenient Mediterranean!

    Tasted fine but my rice was NOT fully COOKED . I was biting down on hard grains of rice. Had to throw the rest out before I hurt my teeth.

    We've been a lover of this location since they first opened a little over a year and a half ago and…read morecan't believe we've waited this long to commend them on their artistry and service! We've been to their multiple locations across Austin and they all are phenomenal, but we especially love this one for its ambiance and layout. They have a beautiful mosaic mural on the counter with a good amount of seating inside. Every time we've visited this location they've always greeted us upon entering, provided seamless ordering and a quick turn around on our order. PLUS our order always comes just as we ordered it, even with any additions we'v made. We've tried a variety of their sandwiches at this point and while they are all super good, hands down our favs have got to be the Big Fat Snarf, Italian Supreme, The Italian and honestly the kids pb and jelly (yes random, but damn its so simple yet tasty) We love the toastiness of their sandwiches and how loaded they make them all, plus they have a long list of options! Even gluten free and vegetarian! If you haven't yet been to a snarfs you MUST go! They will definitely cure any sandwich craving you're having!

The bread was really good. Nice and crusty. Plenty of tasty melted cheese. The meatballs were rather unexceptional though, just nothing special. Staff were nice and I liked the laid-back hippy-ish feel of the place. I'll definitely come back to try something else soon.

Really enjoy that the patio is fully covered, yes if it were to be a windy, rainy day may not work out but for the most part this was great. They have a take out window for orders as well. Inside looked quaint with bright lighting. I got the pancakes cause it was recommended and they weren't too shabby. Would I say they are the best? No, tasty, yes. Friends got other dishes, of course I don't remember what they were but they did enjoy. Make a reservation and try them out. Parking was also convenient and they validate.

Secondly, come early bc they run out of their fresh made pastries so often!! Food wise: here are all the dishes I've had before. Shareables: poblano and cheddar biscuits - perfect for a group. Jalapeño jam is delicious! Chorizo empanada to die for but they always run out so come early! Cinnamon toast - this is too sweet for me but everyone loves this and good to share if you just want a small bite Entree: Chicken and biscuit - delicious and big portion Texas hash - delicious and different Steak & Eggs - always a great option. I love it here. Great service. Great food. Great ambiance.
