Cava is always consistent no matter which location you go to. It's one of my favorite spots and we don't have one in Las Vegas yet so you already know we had to get some while in Texas. The choices and options they have are top tier. The food is fresh and portions are great. This location is located near the college read more

Great place for a quick bite. I got the chicken harissa avocado bowl with veggies, hummus and rice and a pita bread. The bowl came with a spicy red sauce on it. I wish I had asked for the sauce on the side. Everything else was great. It gets busy around lunch time. read more

This place is a 10/10! Compared to other cava experiences I have had this specific location is amazing. The workers are so friendly and fast especially one of the workings Lina. She helped me with my bowls and picking out all the amazing options. The restaurant area is clean and organized. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for some nice easy and affordable lunch! read more

Gotta love CAVA. It's my go to place next to UT campus. The portions are generous, the ingredients are good (although quality varies depending on their kitchen staff, like undercooked lentils), and the line goes at a good pace. I love the fact you get heaps of protein, so I decided that the best ratio for me is actually half chicken and half grilled veggies. The harissa and hummuses are great and usually flavorful enough for me to not need any additional condiments. Don't get me wrong, it's still campus food and the lines can be long, you can order online and skip the line. Will I be back? Of course. read more

CAVA - Half chicken, half veggies - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Cava saves my health again with a better lunch option. I tried their spicy lamb avocado bowl and it was perfect! I normally request a greens and grain bowl to get lentils, so this build was a winner. The avocado and tomatoes go very well with the lamb meatballs. It's nice to save time ordering something from the menu and not needing to modify it. read more

First time at CAVA. The food is really good. The price point is totally acceptable for the quality. My only complain is the lentil base. It's rocking hard and not edible. Other than that, the rice, meats, toppings and dressings are all good. The portion is pretty big. Overall a good experience. I'll be back if I'm in the area read more

That awkward moment when my bowl was so good (first timer) that I forgot to take a picture ^_^ The pita chips were also really good. I received excellent customer service, the lady who helped me gave me great recommendations but I ended up making my own bowl. I would ask what is "extra" before adding it to your bowl. This location is close to UT // Downtown so you may have to pay for parking. Overall, the ambience was chill and they had music playing in the background. Can't forget their natural juices // lemonades were so good!!! read more

CAVA - Pita Chips - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Took too long to get service, water was hot no ice food took long was also walking out

Great staff, so kind and helpful when ordering. It was very clean inside and they had everything available, despite it being so late at night. Not to mention, the food was great. Overall, a lovely experience. Highly recommend. read more

Food is solid, service was amazing, and Byll was ELITE. Great energy and a really enjoyable overall experience.

Cava as a whole is a great chain. I appreciate how many vegetable options they have. The location specifically on Guad is hit or miss depending on who takes your order. Can be pretty stingy, especially with meat. In terms of meat, both chicken options taste great. Of course, the harissa chicken is a little more flavorful, but it does also cost extra. I've heard good things about the falafel as well (but keep in mind they only give around 3). Also, be sure to ask for a free pita! read more

Food is delicious there green salsa, to the warm flourey pita. The service is good depends who's working.

I wish I could give 10 stars--5 just isn't enough for these Cava heroes. Double the guests showed up for a catering order. Food was vanishing. Chaos loomed. No one wants a hungry VP, in from out of state?! I was in trouble. Enter: Matt!!!! and his squad at Cava, moving like a SWAT team with military precision. They cranked out 15 extra bowls in record time, it was truly poetry in motion to see the assembly line move in force. They and saved us from a full-blown lunchtime, office place, mutiny, and saved me from epic grovelling display on behalf of my crimes of insufficient ordering. Absolute legends. Forever grateful, truly. With zero kidding, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. read more

Harissa Avocado was so good. My daughter and I were so full and happy. Service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Had a not great experience here. First, my portions were significantly less than my partners. I barely got any rice and the lamb meatballs were also dry. Also, every table here was extremely dirty and so were the bathrooms. The bathrooms are also not ADA friendly, there was an elderly man who we had to help open the bathroom door because it was so heavy. read more

I ordered around 7pm online for pickup and got a bowl with double meatballs. Instead of doing double protein or offering a substitute they proceeded to put this and some burn scraps hidden under all of the greens and grains. This doesn't even equate to one full portion, let alone two and it's extremely bitter and taste like grill scraps. I'm not one to complain online but since they won't answer the phone this is all I got. Thanks! read more

CAVA - Burn scraps - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

In the last year CAVA has become my favorite place to eat at. I've had it many times at different locations but my favorite one is this one right on UT campus. They let you build your own grain bowl with a big selection of unique toppings. They have many different pickled vegetables that all taste amazing. I usually just load my bowl up with most toppings. They also have great meat options including juicy braised lamb that's halal and falafel for vegetarians. They also have a really good selection of sauces to put on top that add a lot of extra flavor. I will definitely continue to go to this CAVA location, I have yet to be disappointed! Tips: - The braised lamb is halal - They usually run out of random toppings and sauce so it's always better to go earlier - The garlic sauce is awesome and I would also recommend one of their spicy sauces (hot harissa and skhug) read more

CAVA - Grain Bowl with braised lamb - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Nothing to complain about here! It's a fast, fresh, healthy option close to UT campus. I went to meet my mentee at CAVA and was worried because there was a 26 person line. I'm not lying. They're that popular! 10-15 minutes later the line was gone! They are efficient and friendly. The line reminded me of chipotle - you pick all of the options and keep moving down the assembly line. My mentee ordered for me so I can't say what I had but it was delicious. There was spinach, onions, rice, grilled chicken, tzatziki, hummus, feta, tomato, and more. He picked out everything. The portions were generous and fresh! Most folks took their food to go so there was plenty of seating. Pretty easy going vibe. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to several CAVAs and this one had decently fresh food. I got the curated avocado harissa bowl and it was a good portion size for the prize, but tasted a little to salty for my taste. Also, it was at 7pm with 3 other customers, but my wait time was over 10 minutes to start my order. There were 4 people working with little to no urgency. This wouldn't be my location of choice for a CAVA. read more

I have super bad eating habits and was presumptuous with Cava thinking it would lack flavor considering it was on my, "healthy food near me," google search. It was mighty delicious and packed with flavor. Fast, casual, and Mediterranean can't be beaten here. This location is on a relatively busy street but there is street parking, and parking garages nearby, usually you'd have to pay, so be on the lookout when you go out. It's a big location with a good amount of seating if you want to dine in. Restaurant looks and smells clean, and it had semi bright colored décor. If you like Mediterranean cuisine or want to venture into something new, I think this could be a good option. Especially if you're trying to have a healthier alternative to your common fast food. read more

CAVA - Spicy Lamb Meatball - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Makes for a quick and easy lunch. We went in and there was about 8 people in front of us at about 1:30pm on a Sunday, but the line moves pretty quickly and we were easily helped within 15 minutes of getting in line. All staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy what they were doing and knew exactly what to do. The price point seems a little high. It easily could be a few dollars less, especially around campus. But it was convenient to not have to make myself. They have many options for you to mix and match items or even create your own bowl. All the options on the food bar looked amazingly fresh and delicious. Nothing really interesting or out of the ordinary on the menu though. The quality of the items they have and the seasoning of them are A+ . They didn't have regular hummus for this bowl this day but we subbed for red pepper hummus and I think it worked really well and gave it an extra flavor. Their outside seating area is a little sad in comparison next to the open area by KO and Lucky Lab and the women's movement clothing store so we sat in that area instead of their designated back patio area. I think the bowls are pretty shareable sizes unless you're really hungry. My husband and I easily shared one yummy Harissa Bowl and felt like we had enough for a brief lunch. The real star of the show was definitely the Cucumber Mint drink! So good! They had a few other options of fresh drinks like a lemonade and a berry mix as well to choose from. read more

Summary: the food is great, the portion is good enough, the quality is great, the line is a bit of a problem, but it's guad street so it's expected. FOOD: pretty good; chipotle type atmosphere. I'd recommend a greens and grains bowl and ask the server for any recommendations from there PRICE: definitely on the pricier side of guad restaurants, but with chipotle being always a bit too crowded this is a good bet LOCATION: guad can get crowded. The wait is around ~20 minutes on average. Max I've seen it go was ~30ish. read more

CAVA - Greens and grains bowl with chicken and lamb meatballs and a hodgepodge of veggies (sauces: feta and tzatziki) - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Fast casual Chipotle style place but think grain bowl. The amount of base with greens and grains is less than I was thinking but still sufficient. All grains would be a hearty meal. Ok selection of free proteins and toppings (?) but a good chunk have an additional cost. All in all, a pretty good choice with some nice sauce options to make your mouth happy. read more

Literally cannot stop thinking about this food from Cava!! Imagine a counter serve with healthy options that taste AMAZING! Took my mom here while she was visiting & it was the highlight of the (eating portion) of her trip. Fresh ingredients do not disappoint each and every time I come here & the lemonades are always fun to try (I liked the blueberry and lavender best this last time). The staff was so helpful especially when you tell them you have a weak stomach and need to avoid spicy foods. Great bowls, slightly more expensive that your average chipotle run but SO much better tasting food! Who would know a place would have fresh brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and fire roasted corn PLUS hummus for your lunch bowl. Yum! read more

CAVA - Build your own bowls + one Harissa bowl (top left) - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love this cava the workers have the best customer service, they are very caring and accommodating

Great service! It was amazing food and they were really fast in getting my order. Will come back!

The healthier mediterranean build your own bowl that every college campus needs! This place is a great refresher from the typical restaurants around campus. I really love how customizable each bowl and how every ingredient tastes so fresh! I would highly recommend the falafels! The portion for the price though is just not worth it in my opinion. The sauces too were pretty bland, the harissa was the only one that had any zing to it. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Went here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was very cold in the dining room, so we sat outside on a beautiful sunny day. Food was absolutely delicious and service was pretty good. Went back today and, once again, it was so cold in the dining room (and also cold outside) that we decided to take our food to go. It is noteworthy that every single person in the dining room was wearing a jacket. I'm guessing they're trying to keep their staff comfortable, rather than their guests. I wanted the falafel wrap (which is what I ordered last time) but they were out of falafel, so I got the spicy chicken wrap, and they were out of avocado. Last time I was here, they didn't have iced tea because something was wrong with the dispenser. The service was friendly last time, but today was curt and impatient. While the food is outstanding, the service and the freezing indoor area are the reasons I won't be back. read more

CAVA - Chicken and Rice bowl. - Mediterranean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Oh man! I haven't had anything here that I don't like. I typically get a bowl of half green and half grain, typically black lentils, pita, hummus, eggplant and a random 3rd dip, chicken and as many little veggies as I can get away with! Always filling, always cheap. The staff are also fast and super nice. The only thing I don't care much for is the overall physical ambiance of the place so I never eat there and always order to-go or for delivery. I do love it there and highly recommend their food. read more

4.54 stars If you like Chipotle or Qdoba and love Mediterranean food this is your place! It's an awesome healthy (for the most part) hearty delicious meal. The restaurant is clean and the staff was pretty friendly. I got a bowl with a slice of pita on the side and loaded it up with good food (rice, hummus, taziki, chicken, lamb, lentils, lettuce, feta and garlic herb sauce) it was delicious. The price was about $10 for the meal unless you want premium meat (like the lamb). If I'm in the neighborhood again I'll probably come back because I really did enjoy this meal! read more

First time ever trying cava. I ordered from door dash. I selected a green and grain bowl, added most of the toppings, no meat, 3 spreads, and 2 dressing. The photo is the result. A small dollop of hummus in the bottom. I suspected I would receive more given it comes with pita to dip it into. My drink was also completely missing. Overall a really sad bowl for $20. I won't try this location again. read more

I love it here so much!! Service amazing food amazing seriously y'all need this in your life BAD

This was my very first Cava experience. I enjoyed it. It really is like a Mediterranean build your own bowl situation, which I really enjoyed. The instructions and prices are very clear and straight forward. There are a lot of different options at each step of building you bowl, unless you're getting a prebuilt option. My takeaways from my first trip - get the sauces on the side so your bowl doesn't get soggy, you can ask for extra of a topping, and get the spicy hummus! This location is pretty nice and convenient, especially if you are a UT student. The store has a cute area in the back for outdoor seating and even a game room. Not sure if this was specific to my visit, but there were a few toppings that were missing and not getting refilled, so I couldn't try all the toppings I wanted. read more

I tried this for the first time and I love it! It's a really fresh take for me on Mediterranean food. I would describe it as a Mediterranean Chipotle. I like how many veggies I got in my bowl, it tasted super healthy. The only complaint I have is that it is a little bit pricier than other options nearby. Everything is still so good but my friend got a pita and it was suuuuper hard and he couldn't even cut it with his knife. read more

While on campus with my daughter, a future Longhorn, we always love coming to Cava! Great service and location

The food at Cava is sooooo good, but it's very expensive, and they have gotten kind of stingy with the portion size. The line is usually really long. If it's hot outside, it's freezing cold inside, and if it's cold outside, it's sweltering inside. They should use that money they spend on the unnecessarily extreme AC for bigger portion sizes. I usually sit outside in the back to escape the awful temperature inside, but the tables in the back are pretty gross and don't look like they are ever cleaned. read more
