My first time to CAVA. I was a little nervous about whether I'd find something to eat when I noticed the spicy greens, spicy chicken and spicy lamb meatballs on the menu board, fiery broccoli on the toppings menu, and crazy feta on the dips. Since I was looking for a quick meal before we ran off for a show, I decided on the build your own pita, and kept to the included proteins this time around, although I was tempted by the braised lamb. I was glad to see that they gave the option to go half and half on the base and the main as I'm a variety type of gal. For my pita dinner, it was eggplant, hummus, tzatziki for my 3 dips, fire-roasted corn, tomato + cucumber, tomato + onions, Persian cucumbers for my unlimited toppings, grilled veggies and falafel for my halves of protein (could have gone with chicken too for the same price but I was gaming for veggies), and she won me with the garlic dressing recommendation. Dinner was a delightful wet mess due to my tendency to overfill. Their pita was joyfully one of those thicker sort that I prefer. If you need to visit their bathroom, ask a worker for the code. read more

Compared to my last visit six months ago, I got half of the amount in my bowl. This is why people don't come back: The prices go up and the quantity is cut in half. Now is the time to SHORT the stock of CAVA, as it's on its way out of business. read more

I love Cava but this place was not it. I popped in to pick up my birthday treat and the cashier was so incredibly rude like she didn't wanna be bothered. All she had to do was explain how to redeem it instead of looking at me exacerbated. All she said to me was go on the app. I purposely waited for there to be no line before I asked so she could help me but she couldn't be bothered. Also, the store was unkempt. There were enough counter seating but it was dingy. The bathroom was clean though. read more

See all

The best CAVA that I've been to. Everyone is so nice here and the food is . Mani is also the man!

I built my own bowl with romaine and brown rice base. A scoop of eggplant, tzatziki, and harissa, which was unexpectedly spicy! Definitely worth the price because you can add as many toppings (corn, tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli, cabbage, etc) as you want. The line moves very fast. There are some seatings along the window wall. Great for grab and go! read more

Such a convenient location walkable from Harvard's campus, but the organization of this location is a bit lacking. I placed an order online and after the pickup window passed, the staff hadn't begun making the queue of pickup orders. The interior is nice and bright but they could use more staff and better processes! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Love CAVA but the staff at this location are very rude. It looks like it's the norm based on other reviews. I understand that it may be a popular and busy location being next to Harvard but I could not believe how unwelcome I felt as I ordered my food and paid. And the shop was empty at the time. Do better. read more

The staff here are so kind! Came on Valentine's Day, it was super busy but Dan was keeping everything running so smoothly and still maintained the highest standard of service! Food was fresh and flavorful too! As a harvard student, this place is the best in the square. Will definitely be coming back! read more

This location has terrible vibes. I tried to pick up an order for my brother who was waiting in the car outside. First of all, the order was late for pickup. I told them what name the order was under and they refused to give me the order without seeing the phone receipt. I explained to them again that it was for my brother (who couldn't text while behind the wheel of a car), told them the name, they still argued and refused. I'm not trying to steal food--the distrust of customers is crazy. Plus the bathroom reeked of smoke AFTER a food handling employee left the bathroom. So gross. read more

There is no price listing for the various dishes. I knew the duck would be a higher price, but it was very expensive! For healthy and affordable food, get the chicken bowl. read more

Made my order with the wrong protein and refused to remake it when I took it back to the restaurant (uneaten). They said I had to re order + pay if I wanted something different so I spent $20 on a bowl I couldn't eat. Very disappointing. read more

The food was good. And the employees were nice. But it had low lighting and the lamb was salty. Would recommend read more

bad service by the cashier and very rude. wouldn't come here again. But the other servers were really nice.

Let me start by saying I LOVE CAVA! The food is high quality and other locations have never let me down. Just beware when you're picking up from the Harvard Square location. They left out my blondie, pita chips and water!!!! Support other locations if possible read more

CAVA - Spicy Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I'm forever loyal to my beloved Cava, but this location fell short for me - maybe I'm biased to my fidelity to the Fenway location, given its proximity to my university. I placed a mobile order that was ready quickly, which was fantastic. The employees were very nice, as well! However, I noticed that my order wasn't shelved with the remaining mobile orders, despite my arrival about five minutes after it was ready. Not a problem to go up to the counter for it, though. After I started eating, I noticed a lack of both chicken and red pepper hummus. My protein option was half chicken and roasted vegetables, and I noticed a significantly higher veg to chicken ratio which was extremely disappointing. I got red pepper hummus and a light amount of the garlic herb dressing, but I noticed more of the dressing than the hummus. This was incredibly disappointing for me. It tasted good though, and everything else in my order seemed accurate. Maybe I'm just a little nitpicky? Regardless, I'm planning on staying loyal to my Fenway location. Cava, I will be back! read more

Great healthy food , kind and fast service, Justin was amazing with helping me with my order !! Thank you so much Cava

Well, don't use their app to order. I ordered 2 hrs ago for 5:30 and I'm sitting here at 5:42 watching one guy start making 8 things for me while several others stand around or disappear into the back. Also they forgot the bread we ordered. read more

This is the best Cava I have ever been to in my entire life. Justin is an amazing guy and provides great service to everyone. I love this Cava and would never go to another cava in my life if I could. read more

Stopped in for a late dinner - 3 kids pitas w/ chicken, rice, hummus and toppings; made to order and very tasty!

I don't think I've been to an establishment where I've felt more unwelcome. Every worker was rude, the first girl said absolutely NOTHING to me. It was my second time at Cava, and wow, never going tho this location again, yikes...like we're all the workers just fed up or something it's actually funny how unfriendly they were.... read more

sweetest woman ever. she gave us the best customer service. i love going their because of her. read more

CAVA - delicious - Mediterranean Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Online orders are NEVER on time. Poor customer service and no much sense of urgency. Too bad because the food is great.

Was greeted as soon as I walked in. Mike was very welcoming and friendly. Great customer service while he had a line of customers. Food is amazing too! read more

Overall love the other CAVA locations but this one. Never get my orders right. Food was good but could've been better with actually ready the ticket. It's a great location but honestly they need to be better to read the orders and not mess it up every time. read more

Good, fresh, and healthy food. Also, the employees are great! Shout out to Yassli and Sam for going above and beyond and providing great service. I'll be back! read more

the cava in Harvard Square is extremely clean, has fantastic service, and a great staff working. I highly recommend this location

Not too much seating here, but otherwise a pretty standard Cava location with great staff and the usual selection of fresh food. Great for a quick lunch or dinner. There was a little bit of feta cross contamination I noticed in the hummus. A concern for vegans trying to get food at non vegan establishments, but nothing we aren't used to already and accept the risk for. Would definitely still return just because I love the flavors and customization options at Cava. read more

Had a great to go meal at Cava. Great service and the food was good too. Will def come back!

Food is amazing. Definitely a go-to spot for me. Service is great. They're very attentive. Especially, during my first visit. Ambiance is relaxing for a restaurant. You don't feel overwhelmed walking in. Try it! read more

The best place to go for a quick fill-up. Relatively cheap and always has good portions.

Upon entering, I felt as if I was an inconvenience to two employees at the serving station. I proceeded to order a bowl. The employee did not say a word as they took my order. I asked for the fried pita chips and then had to remind the employee ringing me up that I had ordered them. I have been to this location and several other Cavas and every time I have received a military/first responder discount. When I asked the employee ringing me up he said sharply that they did not offer it there. The food was good, but the portions were much smaller than I feel are normal, and the ice machine was broken (which I feel I should have been when I asked for a fountain drink). Not a horrible experience, just felt like it left quite a few things to be desired. read more

The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the bowls are always delicious and fresh!!

Food was overall pretty good but nothing insanely good, but what made this experience good was a server named Mike who was very accommodating as it was our first time in CAVA and he took us through all the steps and even gave some recommendations. All the other workers were also welcoming and the restaurant was very well kept. read more

love this place, great food and service, ambience is phenomenal, couldn't ask for much more in a restaurant of this scale, love the people and the vibes and the views read more
