This location has the best staff. The food and selection is always fresh and good quality. And the best lemonades around, sometimes just come in for a large beverage on the go! Danny at the register the other day out of his way and showed quality customer service!! Well come Cava !!! read more

Customize your bowl and finish it all feeling light and refreshed!! My friend introduced me to CAVA and I am absolutely hooked. It's kind of set up like Chipotle, but imagine Mediterranean style options like hummus, falafel, and healthy grains, expect there are a loooot more choices that leave you feeling energized. They also have nice seating available, and it's right next to a little shopping complex! Perfect for some filling but not weighing healthy food. read more

Love this place.. basically the Mediterranean version of chipotle. I always order the grilled chicken just because it feels like you get more protein in your bowl. And I like to treat myself to their cucumber mint drink. read more

Generous portions, quick service, delicious, clean and tidy, and cashier Daniel was very kind! Will be going back soon!

10/10 dining experience! From the service to the food! First time Cava visit for me! I had scoped out the menu before going and felt a little overwhelmed but when he got to the restaurant, the team helped walk me through ordering every step of the way! Everyone was friendly and accommodating. The food was out of this world! I was pleasantly surprised with what I ordered. Loved the chicken and rice bowl! Will definitely be back very soon! Shout out to Bruno who went the extra mile for us to ensure we had a great experience! read more

Good Food ! a little to slow on service but but there working hard and dedicated to at least provide us the best they can totally appreciated read more

CAVA - Falafel Grain Bowl Harissa Hummu Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Spindrift Sparkling Lemon - Mediterranean Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

Love this place for fresh, delicious salads - the ingredients so yummy, lots of variety of veggies, and the proteins are so flavorful. Tried the new lamb meatball salad with avocado and tahini-lemon dressing and it was WOW! Party on my tastebuds! The staff is very nice - Daniel at the register (manager) always has a smile on his face even when busy or the register is not cooperating. What a breath of fresh air he is! Always feel welcomed here and always know I will get a fresh delicious meal! read more

COVID Update: Totally worth stuck in traffic for. I had ordered online and came to pickup on the curbside. The app gives you a number directly to call after you have placed your order. The app was super easy to navigate and it included pictures so you can imagine what is going into your bowl lol. The falafel here is sooo good but just a tad on the salty side. But the lamb meatballs are *chefs kiss* love everything here. Really fresh ingredients and it doesn't make you feel like crap afterwards. I had created my own salad bowl and my only complaint is that they could've given me more greens. Overall, this CAVA location is delicious and the workers there are really nice. I would return. read more

CAVA - Doesn't seem much but alllllll of the good stuff is hiding underneath - Mediterranean Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

The food was overpriced for the portions. The chicken date salad was a salad with chicken and some date dressing, not chicken cooked with dates. read more

They are always so busy, however they manage to get you in and out very well! The food is always so fresh and staff is friendly too!

New experience for me. I was intrigued to learn the process of food ordering your way. It was fun. I glanced at the menu saw their suggested number order to place my selections and I went for it. I got a bowl with romaine, yellow rice, cucumber and tomatoes, chickpea, olives, falafel balls, and white sauce on the side. Couldn't wait to get home to dig in. This is as fresh as me making it at home. Everything bite was flavorful, fresh, crunchy, crispy, tangy, soft, well you get the idea. Absolutely amazing!! I ate the whole thing. I didn't feel guilty about it. Wow!! This was good. I must go back to try it again!! read more

One of my go to spots! Daniel, a worker there is attentive and serviced any issues. This location is great and yummy!

I have been to this location over 20 times and never had an issue until today when the staff didn't speak english and made communicating near impossible. I ordered extra chicken and was given one small scoop of what i ordered and then 3 extra pieces for what i paid extra for. 3 PIECES!!!! When asking for more I was denied and then moved onto toppings. In this section i was given 4 slices of pickles and very few of other toppings. After all of this I was hoping to at least get a decent amount of sauce. Nope. The cup was filled 1/4 of the way and it was overall an awful experience. Unfortunately i will not be coming back to this location which is the closest Cava to me. read more

CAVA - this is the unopened sauce i was given... - Mediterranean Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

5 stars because: it's an awesome, tasty but healthy meal. Was not a fan of this style of food until I ate at Cava! Now I'm hooked! For a chain it's a step up in quality too! Not Cheesecake Factory level but more like a zen garden version of Shake shack. When you walk in you can smell the freshness of the food and it's pleasant for me, can't guarentee for others though. At first it was okay, after I ate it more and more, the aroma got ten times more appealing and now my body delights in it when I walk in. So this is one of those Chipotle style eats, but think healthy and Mediterranean. No matter what combo I do, I find the taste overall is very similar to each other haha so you can't go wrong. I guess that's the same with Chipotle... you can make all the variations you want, but they all kind of resemble each other. But that doesn't mean you can't customized to your personalized version of heaven. Find the combo that works for YOU! My sister has her favorites and my favorites are completely different and so is my bowl! It's kind of awesome how one place can have two completely different kind of bowls that match the person so well. At first I took suggestions from other people but as I experimented more I found other ingredients I'm crazy about! Now I am hooked pretty deep and have my set bowl of ingredients that I always get! Utensils: These are some of the highest quality disposable utensils I've gripped. SO SMOOTH! LOVE THEM! Had to give them a shout out haha Drinks: They have their own teas that they serve from their own fountain. Blueberry Lavendar is my favorite. I think this flavor is genius and tastes uniquely great! But give them all a go! It's just delightful. Free Pita: Dont forget to Pita! It's free but adds some extra carbs to your meal. It's worth it though, as is the entire Cava experience!!! Enjoy! read more

Super nice staff and really good food! Great service. Would come again. Really clean place as well!

So far, I've been here twice. First time was a hit and this second time was a miss. The second time I went the rice was so hard and undercooked and it hurt my teeth to even eat. Maybe it was an off day. I'd come back and give them one more chance and hope my experience next time is more like the first time I dined here. read more

These bowls are better than your average salad bowl due to their unique dips+spreads offerings. The bowls will also fill you up more than most other fast casual restaurants would. Also, their cookies are delicious. read more

I enjoyed the Mediterranean food here even though it came from a Chipotle-style food assembly line. Since we were there for in-between meals, we ordered only Kid's Mini Pita dishes ($6+). The rice is a bit on the hard side but falafel and the meatball are quite tasty. The harissa is deliciously, mildly spicy and complements the rice-lentil-roasted corn mixture. The price to portion ratio is a bit high imho, but they make it up in the taste section. 3.75/5 rating, but it may be worth trying again. read more

Wow! Honestly I couldn't have loved it more. The flavors are powerful and the combination options are endless. We went for dinner and got various bowls and a kids meal. We also got a side of pita chips, which were excellent. Everyone loved their meals and we loved trying new things. The fresh tea machines are so tasty and fun. The space was bigger than I expected, service was friendly, and the food was fresh. My only suggestions would be additional dessert options and more kid friendly veggies. But, we will for sure be back. read more

I ordered the greens and grain bowl, with a double sautéed veggie "protein." The veggies had a lot of brussel sprouts, which I'm not the biggest fan, but I'll begrudgingly eat them because they're allegedly good for me. (I haven't seen the proof of this claim...) Other than the brussel sprouts, (which were crisped to perfection by the way, they're just not my fave!), everything was fresh and flavorful. Ordering was very simple, each station to choose your base, followed by layers, was well lit, clean, and well-stocked. The restaurant is further back in the shopping center. The dining room is big, clean, and well-let, with plenty of seating. Easy choice for a meal that will not make you feel guilty or heavy. read more

Love the food so much, we bought stock in the company. Food is excellent, great portions, never left hungry. A good healthy option.

I've been ordering from CAVA through Doordash for a while now, and my experience has been a bit of a mixed bag. The food, in general, is usually good. The flavors are diverse, and I enjoy the variety they offer. However, there's a recurring issue with the preparation - sometimes the vegetables are overly charred, which can affect the overall taste. Consistency seems to be a challenge here. Another point of frustration is that they're always forgetting the pita (that I pay extra for!) and it happens A LOT, maybe 1/3 of the time. When Cava gets it right, it's really good. I just wish they could improve the consistency in both the preparation of their dishes and ensuring all components are included in each order. read more

Online ordering does not work on their app and I can see why. They can't even handle walk-ins at this place. 30+mins to order and physically get your food in your hands is ridiculous. Somebody needs to re-train this place on what type of business model they are are trying to accomplish. I could of walked to shake shack and chipotle and ordered multiple times before I even got my order here. I come here for convenience and because the food is semi-decent. This is the 3rd time I've had an exorbitant wait and nobody even picks up their speed who works here. There 's literally only one girl trying to make the bowls with the line out the door and about 8 more workers pretending to do work or something. Do these people in line know something I don't know? They haven't moved and they ain't leaving. They must put gold flakes in their hummus. read more

Awesome food. Great colors, variety of various healthy stuff, great tastes. You get such good food in no time, no hassles. Forgot to mention the huge portion. It's two meals for me. Highly recommended. read more

So nice to know that Cava continuously gets 5 stars from me. From its healthy options, to its quick service, and its modern interiors, I love eating at this restaurant while catching up with old friends. Sometimes you want to talk over a meal but want something healthy and Cava is my go-to for that! I get the supergreens mix with chicken, hummus, corn, pickled onions, lentils and tzatziki. I absolutely love their pickled onions and fire-roasted corn! Great quantity, great prices. Favorite "fast food" ever! read more

We love cava, we come here all the time 10/10 we recommend free chips and great customer service

Great service, fresh quality and food at Cava! Always a reliable experience at the Bridgewater location

There are not many fast food places with healthy options. This is by far my favorite fast food place. read more

If you love Mediterranean food and if you love the ability to customize, CAVA is the perfect combination of the both. It's a fast-casual experience similar to Chipotle. Ingredients taste fresh and there's LOTS of vegetables than the typical loading up of rice that I normally see at these types of restaurants. For meat, many of my friends recommended the braised lamb and even with the extra charge, it does not disappoint!! Free pita is available on the side with the order of a bowl. I didn't particularly care for the service at this location. It was my first time at a CAVA and when asked about the ingredients/the process of how to order, all they said was "It's like Chipotle"... NOT helpful!! Have a little pride in Mediterranean cuisine and learn your stuff! The only thing I have trouble with ordering the bowl is the option of both spreads and dressings. Spreads include things like hummus, tzatziki, or crazy feta. Dressings include more of the yogurt dill, lemon herb tahini. I love trying new things but somehow can't quite keep them apart since they're all over my bowl nor can I tell the difference between all the sauces once they're mixed together. Maybe it's a me problem... next time I'll be sure to order dressing on the side. But still, their ingredients and sauces are fresh & fun to experiment - worth a try for yourself!! read more

This place is DANGEROUS. As expected, walked into the "Chipotle" of Mediterranean YET I walked out with a happy tummy & as a BIG cava fan. The choices-varied and many; the staff-friendly and quick; the place--clean and accommodating. Let's get real, this place is THE dream. Feeling sassy? Want a bowl with BOTH grain and salad--this is the place. Want a pita? No problem! How about some protein with your Harissa or Red Pepper Hummus? Well you can have falafel, chicken, lam meatball, or some toasty roasted veggies! Top it off with some couscous, pickled onions or feta cheese. You can't go wrong here. I'd be a fool to say this is my last time coming here--so I won't! Definitely give this place a try. Great food, great portions and average price. Yum! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

Super tasty! I'm a fan of this - Mediterranean fast casual style where you can select premade combinations or build your own by choosing a base and a number of toppings. Also, many (but not all) of the selections were gluten free! However I had to look up the allergen information on the website - details were not on the menu. I had: Greens + grains (SuperGreens and RightRice), hummus, tzatziki, grilled chicken, diced cucumber, tomato+cucumber salad, corn, and yogurt dill dressing. I was impressed with the portion size and amount of protein in my bowl. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned (reminded me a little of Chipotle chicken...). Also, I feel the choice of up to 3 dips/spreads is really generous. You can build a lot of different flavor profiles. I was hesitant on the RightRice, but it was pretty good too. Didn't have a heavy taste to it (pretty neutral), and the texture was like that of mini orzo pasta. Nice alternative if you want to stay low carb while being able to soak up all the juices and flavors, but I think next time I would be fine with just greens. My only disappointment was that the falafel is not gluten free, but I would definitely eat here again! read more

Get: I am obsessed with their Blueberry Lavender Juice, lightly sweetened with a touch of lemon! Also I am partial to the Spicy Lamb whether it be in a pita or salad grain bowl. CAVA is an awesome lunch spot. It's basically Mediterranean Chipotle as you build your pita/salad/bowl while they prepare it for you. The interior is spacious. I've never had trouble getting a seat and I love that there are huge wooden-y tables. Also, I like that you can order your lunch ahead online and avoid the longer line that forms around noon. I really like how clean and fresh the dishes are. I don't feel extremely foodcoma-y after eating this. There are Pitas, Salads, Salad + Grain bowls and their dressings are delicious. My favorite one is their lemon herb tahini. I always get the spicy lamb meatballs, it's an extra charge but very good! This is a tasty healthy option. Now the one thing I always get is the Blueberry Lavender Juice, it is soooo good and you can get free refills. It's not too sweet and I can't stop raving about it. read more

Food is great to taste....if you don't mind waiting for it. Don't ever bother ordering pick up because you'll be waiting around. it's faster to just go in person even if the line wraps around the entire place. Ordered for pick up for 7pm and saw multiple people go in to stand in line to order and get food before us. Still waiting after 30 mins, for them to mess up my order. Don't bother if you're on a time crunch. read more

They completely messed up my online order yet again. I recommend going there in person to order rather than doing it over their website/app. Don't expect that your order will be correct. They gave me white rice instead of brown and the super greens instead of splendid greens. I was also missing the feta and pickled onions and they forgot to give me the side pita and side tzatziki which I paid extra for. The workers there are obviously careless or poorly trained. read more

The current spin on Chipotle's framework is Mediterranean fast-casual. It works. Very tasty and clean eating option while in the space of Shack's Shakes and 10,000° Pizzas, etc. A suggestion, respectfully: It's the Holiday Season so share with the people more Spicy Lamb protein. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

This was a pick made by an acquaintance of mine, claiming they had really good food. "A Mediterranean chipotle," she described it. And that is honestly the best way to describe it. I was very pleased with the choices they offered. A lot of variety at every step, the veggies, the carbs, the sauces, the protein. I had the braised lamb. Tender, flavored, very good. Good pick, KLC read more

Maybe it was an off day but the staff is rude as hell here. Not helpful Food was decent, but not worth the attitude. I'll stick to my regular one. read more

Food was good and the servers were great. One of the workers however was cleaning something using a machine that was as loud as a motorcycle. I was not able to order without yelling and being about 12 inches from the servers. This went on from the time they began mixing my salad until I sat down. This was inexcusable. I sat far from the counter but the noise was still too much. I went to the counter and yelled to the person making the noise to please have some brains and do that in the back kitchen. The manager said that it was not necessary to say that but as a manager he should have some sense. The noise was stopped for only 5 minutes then resumed for about another 10 min. This problem allowed by the management is only one part of this bad review. The tables are disgusting. They are sticky and have a blackish cast from the dirt sticking to the residue from lack of washing. This was an absolutely miserable experience. I arrived in a happy positive mood and left very angry. Bad store management! read more
