Matt at this particular cava was very helpful, friendly and he wasn't stingy on the portions. This place is very clean and is highly recommended. read more

Food was great. Service was not good. Not personal or welcoming and took a long time. We stood there for a while before bing helped and were not greeted or helped. read more

I love Cava. But this location drives me crazy. Over and over, I purchase online, show up at the designated time, then wait another 10-15 minutes in store. I suppose I should learn that I should just order in store, but I like online ordering because it saves my favorites. And it SHOULD be a time saver, but never is. (And why do they always include utensils when I indicate no utensils?) read more

The salads were fresh and delicious, the restaurant was clean, and the employees were nice.

Great food and service. Tried the sour cream chips and they were great. We will be back

Came in, another person ahead of us not attended yet- waited near 10 mins, no employee noticed us at all, we kept waiting. We left.

The food is delicious, so there are no complaints there! However the service is sub-par. Most of the employees are high schoolers who can't even hold a conversation with a brick wall. Let alone count money. Do yourself a favor and think twice about paying cash here. None of them know how to give change. Maybe this review is better suited for the education system? But still. Really poor management. Please add calculating change to your resume requirements. read more

To be fair this was my first time inside of any CAVA... I must admit .. I ALWAYS look at an establishments health grade I don't really question too much if it's 94.5 and higher and I do believe theirs was a 98 or a 99. With that said .. the booths/tables could have wiped down. Food still on seats .. and I asked for bottled water (flat) all they had was sparkling.. they pointed us to wear their fountain drinks were which every knows you get "free tap water " over there . OR you're suppose to. My husband and I had nasty tonic type water . They're was no flat water option . I person who took my order was very kind could not understand NOR speak English that well AT all. We were more Playing the "pointing game ". That was quite unnerving. I will say all of that above aside my salad and red pepper hummus WAS absolutely 4.5 stars and I will go back. read more

Awful!! My bowl is HALF EMPTY yet they still charged me $15?! What The Heck!!! I thought bowls were 10. I don't understand the hype of this place, it's not that great. The girl making it didn't know what any of the ingredients were, including the basmati rice?! ........I feel so gypped. read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This was my first time trying Cava, I've never been to any locations before. I was so excited to try it. I walked in, nobody greeted me or said hello, how can I help you, no one said anything to me. It was like I didn't exist to the workers. I stood there waiting for service for 5 mins until I literally asked are you guys open?! They didn't want to be bothered. That left a sour taste in my mouth. 1st impressions are everything to me, especially if I'm spending my money. Won't be coming back to this location. read more

It was a meh experience. I liked that they had the cards to confirm they were prepping the pita correctly kinda. Didn't stop them from missing the tzatziki. So my pita was hummus and very spicy to my palate chicken. It was clean. It was 730 so pretty empty. The line assemblers were nice enough and were actually helpful since it was the first time there. Will try it again read more

CAVA - Greek Chicken pita - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Stopped in to grab a quick to go build your own bowl. The staff was super friendly and my bowl was built perfectly. I chose the grains and greens with half grilled vegetables and half chicken. I could eat this bowl daily! So good! I wish there was a Cava location closer to my home, but I enjoy stopping in when I can. They also offer a generous military discount. read more

AMAZING SERVICE LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!!!! Abby is the best ever. Cava is seriously amazing--the flavors are fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Their Mediterranean-inspired dishes bring together wholesome ingredients with bold spices that make every bite a delight. Whether you're craving a customizable bowl or some tasty dips and pita, Cava nails it every time. Plus, the vibe of the place is super inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or just treat yourself. read more

Quick counter service or call ahead ordering. Seating inside and out. Ingredients always fresh. One bowl is about $12 but I can easily make two meals of it. read more

CAVA - Greek Salad - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Bad customer service from the manager zarkaya I asked for grilled chicken and vegetables yet she refused and said she charge me for the vegetables even though I said half and half and I never wanted extra lentils yet she charged me for it. Honestly just disappointed, wasn't there a policy saying the customer is always right. read more

It's really hot or miss depending on the location. The concept is good. I've had some pretty decent bowels. Their pita chips are excellent. Service is always good. read more

Terrible service - no one spoke - no ice - dirty beverage station with water spilled all over - the place was filthy and poor management.

The entire staff tonight appeared to be in a bad mood. Zero greeting from anyone when I walked in, I stood at the counter for 5 minutes before being acknowledged or helped and there was nobody in line in front of me. The girl walks up and doesn't say a word, just looks at me and waits for me to order. Didn't say a word to me. I walked in the restaurant around 8:50ish, and they do not close until 9pm. It was a completely strange and off putting experience. We have spent a LOT of money on Cava and this singular experience tonight left me not wanting to ever come back. I felt unwelcome, like I was bothering them, and it felt like they were angry that I came in. read more

Omg it was my first time here and everything was super good the food and the service was so great, Raquel was there and Luis there are awesome people great costumer service!!!! read more

If you are looking for an healthy alternative, this place is it. This was my first time trying tonight and this restaurant did not disappoint. I created my own bowl. It was very savory and delicious! The atmosphere was clean and service was exceptional. I will definitely go back and try something else. Go check it out for yourself read more

CAVA - Bowl - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This was our first time at this location after two lackluster visits at the Providence Farms location. The Cava concept is great; it's the execution that is lacking. As was the case with both locations, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. After greeting us with a scowl, the lady who took our order continued her nastiness to the point of not even thanking us for our patronage. In fact, she never even made eye contact. The food itself was good, but the chicken was lukewarm (yuck!) I'm not going to waste any more time on this review. As much as I want to like this place, I'm done! read more

Wasn't a Mediterranean fan until I tried this place!! 10/10 for sure! Love the food and service. read more

Friendly staff. JAZZ was particularly nice to me and makes me want to come back more often. Good food and I love the Strawberry Citrus drink! read more

Very quick and all employees were very polite! Definitely recommend this location and will definitely come back

Where do I begin!!? Friendly staff! Crazy delicious, HEALTHY food AND large portions! Seriously... I always take my leftovers home and have enough to make a wrap for lunch the next day! There are TONS of vegan options, too! Think "Chipotle's" style presentation with a Mediterranean twist! Can't say enough good things about this restaurant!!! CAVA is my new favorite "go to!!!" Try it! I promise they will not disappoint! There is something for everyone, and even your health will thank you!!! read more

CAVA - #CAVA bowl!!! - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Delicious food, good service, clean restaurant. Open until 10pm. Every time I come I have a different salad only because I can never remember everything I put in it. Love the variety of options. It's like a wonderful surprise every time. read more

This is without a singular doubt the absolute worst cava location I have ever been to. You never see the same staff member twice, which means they are constantly training new staff. The restaurant is always out of something or waiting for a certain item to be made, so even if I am the only person in line it turns into a twenty minute visit. I absolutely love cava itself but I will no longer be returning to this location. During my last visit, they were out of at least one type of protein, 3 sauces, and 4 toppings. After waiting 15 minutes in line, I was informed of this without any apology by staff. This all took place at 7:30pm on a weekday, so I understand being out of something things, but food should actively be made in response to demand. I could honestly probably overlook many of these things, but the food quality is always subpar, and the portions are tiny likely due to the fact that the kitchen can never keep up with the demand. I will never in a million years recommend this location. read more

My family and I have eaten at this location multiple times, with good expectations all around. But today, we arrived when they opened at 11:00 and have never been so disappointed. The food bar was only approx 60% set up. they had no steak available and had to be prepared, they only had six toppings available! I asked for some onions and was told they wouldn't have any for an hour as they had to cool prior to serving! They had no tea available until 11:40! I asked who the manager was and why they had opened for business, when they were not actually ready to serve their customers! The employees were nice but lost, as it is the managers responsibility to make sure all is well prior to opening! Our last visit was ok but not great, and today was much worse. Unfortunately, we will not be revisiting CAVA anytime in the future. read more

Had the Spicy lamb pita wrap and it was delicious! Looking forward to trying other menu items!! Hope there's one of your restaurants coming to Matthews NC soon!! read more

I swear this place has me, and all of Charlotte, in a major chokehold lol ! The best way to explain this place is that it's a Mediterranean version of Chiptole and it hits every time !! There aren't many healthy food options that stay open late and I am thankful that they don't close until 10pm !! . The food is always fresh, you can literally watch the cooks make the meat, and the drinks are very refreshing ! I will forever be a customer and I will continue to tell folks about this place. What's you usual Cava order ?? read more

I've been going to Cava for a while now, and I absolutely love their twist on Mediterranean food, so I am probably biased when it comes to the chain and what they have to offer food wise. This location however, has been by far the best one I have been to in the CLT area. The staff was absolutely amazing everyone was hyped and in a good mood, mind you this was at 9:30PM, only a half an hour before they closed. I've done this late night run multiple times, and though the service was good, it wasn't as great as it was today. Usually, closer to closing hours, it's harder to get good portions because everything has been picked off, tonight I was proven wrong and given generous portions of every single item picked for our bowls, and even when they were almost running out of pickled onions, they were kind enough to get more in the back. I know it sounds extremely silly, but sometimes when you've had a long day and all you'd like is to pick up the food you love and not only have it be done right, but with love, it's just amazing. I appreciate this Cava team for making the little things happen, and for making my night! Definitely returning!! read more

Love this place. their salads are fresh and good sized. You can get a salad with chicken for $13 - better value than the "other" salad place a few doors down. read more

Let me just say this... every time I come here, the service + food is quite exceptional. This visit though EXCEEDED my expectations. I was greeted warmly by Maine, who was immediately attentive to my needs. The quality of his bowl was the best I have had thus far (this is my 4th bowl) This visit was the beginning of my beautiful evening right before work. Thank you Maine and thank you Cava Blakeney for the great food and experience you provide in our community village read more

Every time I try to give this Cava location a second chance it back fires. The staff have obviously not been trained properly as every other location is a million times better. I'd never eat inside of this place. You will always pay for things that you don't wind up getting and extremely rude. Go to another location for the good food that Cava does make. read more

Good food, nice options and good service. Vivian was great, she was attentive and sweet.

Let me start off by saying I love Cava, but this location needs a lot of help. Tonight (Saturday) I stopped in at 6pm for some takeout. The staff seems miserable working there. Their attitude and body language speak volumes. The past two times I've been to this location the vibe I get from the staff is that I am inconveniencing them by showing up and expecting them to do their job. The inconsistencies in the amount of food they put in a bowl is obvious. Tonight, the guy who made my bowl seemed like he was rationing certain things. The other issue is that they always seem to be "out" of something. This evening it was olives and feta cheese. If I'm not mistaken those are staples in Mediterranean cuisine. How does a Mediterranean restaurant run out at 6pm on Saturday! I love the Cava concept and food, but the company needs to get new management at this location soon. read more

Glad that they are part of the neighborhood. Staff are friendly and very welcoming. The place is well lit and has various healthy Mediterranean options. I came on opening day and a few times after that. I have made my own bowel did the hot honey pita, lamb, etc. They are consistent with customer service however their restrooms could use some love and care. The food is delicious so far I haven't had anything I don't like. The drinks are good but rather on the sweet end in for my tastebuds. Nice staple to the community. Glad they are here. Can't wait to try more seasonal staples. read more
