Food was amazing! Got a pita for dinner (huge) and a bowl for the next day's lunch (also huge). Get the harissa chicken, but skip the falafel (kinda dry). Employees were a bit flat and they were out of some things. read more

CAVA - Harissa chicken pita - Salad Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Second week in a row coming here bringing my daughter who likes Cava. This week - Out of chicken, out of pickled onions, out of cucumber salad, out of ice, out of 2 of the mixed drinks. Those are why we come. Last week out of dressings, out of toppings, napkins. And server was rude. Serving bar was a total mess. Need to take more pride in your business and have your ingredients in stock. read more

Very disappointed. Those are the only words that come to mind. My sister and niece had told me about this place after a trip to Denver. They had told me that this place was delicious, fresh and that I needed to try it. We had drove from Colorado Springs to Castle rock Friday evening for dinner. When I first walked in, there was trash on the ground, and the garbage was overflowing. When we got up to the serving counter, there was food spilled on the counters and there was more food mixed together than expected. The man that helped with my meal together, rushed me through even though it was my very first time and I was trying to read what everything was before I picked it out. I had got a kids meal with saffron rice, which was dry, honey harissa chicken, which was dry as well, three pita chips, which were really oily, and some sauces, that were actually pretty good. During my meal, I thought that since it had slowed down, someone would clean the floors and take out the trash, but that did not happen. Before we left, I went to wash my hands and in the unisex bathroom, the floor was sticky and the trash was overflowing. Overall, I will not be returning. I think it's really unfortunate because I really wanted to like this place. First impressions are very important and I just was not impressed. read more

They were out of quite a few items, seems to be a common theme from the other reviews. This place has been missing the mark lately. It's just not worth the $15.00 plus for an entree. read more

Cami at Cava in Castle Rock did a great job. Service is friendly, professional and food is healthy and delicious. Thank you

Stopped here for Sunday lunch with my sister before doing some shopping at the Castle Rock Outlets. It was fairly busy on a Sunday afternoon but the line moved quickly. I had the Chicken & Rice bowl which was delicious. The portion was a great size and all of the ingredients were fresh and full of flavor. I opted to try the side of Crazy Feta Dip with a pita and it was so yummy but had a surprising kick of heat at the end. The Cucumber Limeade drink was amazing! This is a great spot for fresh Mediterranean theme food. I hope to be back soon! read more

CAVA - Chicken + Rice Bowl, Cucumber Mint Limeade, & Side Crazy Feta® with Pita - Salad Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

I do not think this location can be saved... third time giving this location a try. On the way home from a road trip and stopped by 45 minutes before closing. Staff was all cleaning and talking. My partner went in first since we had our dog in the car and it took awhile to even get the order started..... ordered half salad and half brown rice (arrived home and found that it was dried and hard....), crazy feta scoop, lamb was over cooked to mush and dry, quite a few of the toppings were out, skug, and garlic sauce. They REALLY skimp out on the rice and lettuce. I ordered half salad and half saffron rice (VERY small portion as well), tzatziki scoop, 1 scoop each or chicken and steak, again quite a few of the toppings were not available, no garlic sauce available and opted for yogurt dill and skhug. Hard pass on this location from now on..... read more

I was genuinely excited to finally try this place, especially after seeing several locations pop up around Colorado. I ordered the lamb meatball rice bowl with power greens from the Castle Rock location. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Most of the rice in the bowl was undercooked and crunchy, making it unpleasant to eat. The avocado had a strange texture -- overly soft and almost smooth -- and the flavor was off. After digging through the bowl, I found the rest of the avocado buried beneath the onions, and it was clear that it was past its prime and starting to rot. I ended up throwing the rest of the bowl away, as I didn't feel comfortable continuing to eat it. I tried calling the Castle Rock store immediately to let them know about the quality of the ingredients -- especially the avocado -- but no one answered the phone. Later that evening, I began experiencing significant stomach pain, which continued into the night and the following morning. I've spent most of the time since in the bathroom, which raises serious concerns about the freshness and safety of the food I was served. What's been even more frustrating is the lack of response. I've attempted to reach out multiple times and still haven't heard back from anyone at the store. I hope this feedback is taken seriously. I wanted to give this place a fair shot, but based on this experience, I'm not sure I can recommend it to others until the quality and communication improve. read more

Good place for a quick meal. Learn from my mistake and tell them to put the dressing on the side so you can add it to your bowl on your own. My grilled chicken bowl was good but would have been great if she had not dumped soooo much dressing on it. I like how you can make modifications to the dish as they make it. Or you can make your own bowl up. Service was okay. The first gal in the assembly line was a bit gruff. 2 nd gal was more friendly. read more

For what it is, I think it's a little overpriced. Also, the staff were very disorganized and confused everyone in line by mixing up their bowls. Hate to say it, but Chipotle is better! read more

Love this place! That harissa avocado bowl Is strait fire. Team is always super nice and the atmosphere is great. read more

This cava located across from the outlet mall in castle rock was a nice place to grab a healthy bite to eat. I ordered the steak bowl and it was quite massive since I decided to add lots of toppings and extras to the bowl. No complaints on the taste, but comparing the price to chipotle or other competitors, I think I'd rather spend $10 for a chipotle bowl than $18 for a cava bowl which are both pretty good. read more

As someone who lived in Rockville MD where Cava originated from, I am probably one of their biggest fans living in CO and have been to a lot of locations. This is one of my favorite fast food places! This specific location is convenient to go to if you are out stopping in Castle Rock. Their service was pretty fast. They had all their usual items in stock. I did notice that the lettuce could have been fresher. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They even have a drive thru! Highly recommend getting their fountain drinks the teas and lemonades that they have are amazing. Also upgrade for the lamb as your protein! Definitely check them out if you have not been before. It's like chipotle, but middle eastern. Tons of flavor and a healthy quick option! read more

Zeke was very helpful in recommending a great option and providing exceptional and timely service. Food was delicious!

The manager here has to do better. Pulled up at 9p, noticed employees cleaning so we weren't sure if they were opened because it looked dark. As we walked in the employees in the back yelled "noooooooo" cause we came in. Wasn't what hungry customers want to hear when entering an establishment and spending our money there. Then we get to the counter, we were offered 3 falafels , some dried up chicken or steak. Not much of anything left. The employee told us they will not cook anymore food because it is close to closing, again a whole hour til closing. All the toppings were limited. All the specialty teas and lemonade were no longer available. We opted for a fountain drink, which was straight soda water. Some not so clean looking employee was emptying the garbage. The food did not taste good and I'm sure corporate would not be happy with the customer service read more

I love eating at this location!!! Today i ate lunch here with some friends. What awesome customer service you have. Karina, Heather and Trinity were awesome. Made sure my friends and I were good. Made our lunch a great experience. Thanks!!! Keep up the great work. read more

Chef Ken & Mykah were amazing! The food was delicious and affordable for the amount you get. You can choose from steak, lamb, and chicken. You can choose between a wrap or a bowl. I got the build your own bowl I added greens, rice, and lentils. My protein choices included half lamb and half spicy chicken. You also get to choose other toppings including corn, feta, cucumbers, and so much more. They also have a vegan option which would be falafel. Overall amazing food and service, highly recommend them. read more

This is a convenient option if you're at the nearby outlet malls doing some shopping and need a lunch break. We've been here a few times and it's consistently good, and the line moves quickly. They have changed the menu a little over the past few years but kept most of the old standbys as well as adding some interesting new dishes. This time it was right after the introduction of the chicken shawarma, which I tried and enjoyed. They keep it quick, efficient and tasty here, so I'm a fan and I make this one of the preferred stops when in the area. read more

The chicken looked... interesting. Food was overall fine. All the tables were dirty. All of the employees seemed annoyed to be there and had an overall lack of customer service. The cashier was a younger girl and had a horrible attitude, my family and I were really surprised by her behavior. We aren't asking for outstanding service, but atleast average. After our experience, we will not be going back to this location! read more

Hadn't been there before so the servers were very patient in explaining and answering questions. The food was so good. (I love Mediterranean food!) The room temp of the restaurant was perfect as usually we are cold. Will definitely go back. Great experience!! read more

Filthy. Extremely filthy. I met my family here for dinner, walked in, trash all over the floor, food flung all over the place while ordering, ate, food wasn't tasty at all, before leaving I used the bathroom and this bathroom was nasty. Unisex bathroom, floors were sticky, urine all over the toilet seat so I had to wait in line for the other bathroom, trash over filling. I won't be returning to this location. read more

Absolutely wonderful. Great new shwarma bowl. Friendly, engaged staff and easy-to-reach location.

This CAVA was extremely poorly run when I went. There was only a couple people in line and it took forever to get through. They were out of multiple items. I found bones in the chicken in my bowl. The staff was yelling at one another - it could've just been a rough day on the job, but I likely won't be returning to this location. read more

Cava is always so yummy food wise but the service feels worse and worse each time. Employees seem to have bad attitudes and every time we place an online order something is wrong/missing/etc. Portions get smaller online and just seem to have an issue most times, especially over the online ordering. Also just about every time we go they are out of multiple core ingredients. Unfortunately all I ever hear about the castle rock cava from peers is also the bad service. read more

Rated a 3 not because of the food - it was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The rating is because of wait time and lack of information. At 11:45 am in a Tuesday there were already 14 people in line and an additional 7 waiting for pick up orders. Clearly they needed more staff they had 3 people working the counter area. Like a Chipotle where you order and they build your meal in front of you. They clearly needed at least another person taking orders and two cashiers. Additionally, this was my first time at a CAVA. I didn't know what to expect. When I walked in and looked up at the menu the build your own bowl gave vague instructions (pick 2 proteins,etc). There should be menus of even signage on the walls/windows that display the list of ingredients to select from. This would also speed up the process when ordering. read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl - Salad Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Delivery order. You have to be kidding me about the price of a side. It's $4+ for about 1.5 ounces (nearly 1/3 the cost of an entire bowl). And don't get me started with $3.27 for a 1.5" square brownie. Also when it's a grain bowl, give the full portion. We love the falafel and really do love the food but ^^ is ridiculous! read more

Pretty decent fast food option. Food is always super fresh and tasty. If you want a healthy fast food option this is it.

great service!!! everyone was so niceee always a great experience! the food is incredible read more

Loved the food and was very happy with the service. Thanks Matt! We will definitely be coming back.

Fresh, flavorful bowls with great portions and quick, friendly service! highly recommend!!

I'm writing because I had a very disturbing experience at the CAVA restaurant in Castle Rock on Saturday, January 10th, and I feel it's important someone is aware of what happened. We were simply there for lunch, and what should have been an easy, casual meal turned into an uncomfortable and honestly shocking situation. The manager on duty, Brandi, became visibly angry and aggressive--throwing spoons and bowls, slamming kitchen doors, and appearing completely unhinged by having to get us fresh batch of lentils. It was intimidating, and extremely unsettling to be the target of this behavior. She was also openly rude and hostile towards my daughter and her friend, which was especially upsetting given we were just trying to enjoy lunch. In addition, what stood out was how uncomfortable the employees seemed several appeared intimidated and even fearful, which made the entire restaurant feel toxic. This all happened while many other customers were present. As we were leaving, a couple other women came up to us and acknowledged how badly we were treated and to share that they had a similar experience with the same manager Brandi, It was clear this wasn't an isolated incident. I'm not someone who often complains, but this situation felt bigger than poor service. I left genuinely concerned for the staff, customers, and for the overall environment in that restaurant. We do really like this restaurant and hopefully there can be some positive changes but until then we will not be coming back in. SVB Castle Rock Resident read more

Fresh, flavorful bowls, endless toppings, and consistently amazing service every time--plus the absolute best pita chips ever!

The food here is a great option for something healthy and quick! This was my first time in and Sophia was so nice and helped me choose something. Great customer service. read more

Great experience at this CAVA, and Sophia really stood out. She was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole visit even better with her positive attitude and great customer service. The food was great, but Sophia is what made this location memorable. Hope management knows what a gem she is! read more

This was the first CAVA I ever went to. It was late at night, but the staff still went above and beyond to take care of me. They explained the food and helped me build a delicious meal! read more

Food was really good! Make sure to get yourself a pita! So good! Also the workers were super nice and helpful

I think I've found my new favorite go-to when I'm seeking a low-carb meal option. I've had the Greek salad twice now, going with steak the first time and half chicken, half spicy lamb meatballs as my protein choice my 2nd order. The tzatziki sauce and hummus were both delicious and I loved that I could choose my veggies (cucumber and tomatoes are my jam). The crazy feta is also a great spicy option. To me, Cava is the Mediterranean version of Chipotle - only so much better! The grain bowls look interesting to me, but I generally look for low carb options (although I read they have something called RightRice, that is made from lentil, pea, and chickpea flours that I may have to try out). In the land of many fast/casual food options in Castle Rock - Cava is a welcome addition for me! read more

This Mediterranean restaurant offers fresh, delicious food, including grain bowls, pitas, and spicy lamb meatballs. They highlight the bold flavors, customizable options, and generous portions. They also like the fast and efficient service. read more

Excellent food and service! Clean and Fast Service. Staff was very friendly as well.

I'm telling you rn CAVA is worth all the hype. Coming from someone who adores Chipotle this place is on another level. Ive been a huge fan of CAVA since I first tried it and it hits every time. I've never gone and have been dissatisfied with my meal. It can get pretty packed but the service is fast and the staff are friendly. If you love Mediterranean food CAVA is authentic and just that good. I live in Colorado Springs and CAVA isn't there so if I find myself in Castle Rock you bet I'm stopping there. read more
