Yaya was extremely nice and made me appreciate coming to this cava. This is my second time visiting this cava and personally I am excited to try it again because of the help of YAYA! Yaya, thank you for your guidance! I tried the Pita chips just for you lol ambiance was good and clean. read more

Came in during the lunch pop on a Monday afternoon. Yaya and Spencer worked the line and they did so beautifully! They remained professional, never got flustered, knew the builds of the featured bowls, made sure to offer the complimentary Pita bread, and overall knocked my socks off! Very impressed! read more

Great Food, But Cleanliness and Service Are a Major Concern!!! I visited this restaurant for the first time about two weeks ago, and unfortunately, it was not a great dining experience, despite how good the food was. The concept of the restaurant is actually really appealing. It has a Chipotle-style, build-your-own ordering setup where you can choose a bowl or a wrap and customize it as you go. I ordered a salad bowl with brown cilantro rice, romaine lettuce, roasted vegetables, avocado, red pickled onions, pico de gallo, cucumbers, and Harissa Honey Chicken. My son got a pita wrap with brown cilantro rice, roasted corn, avocado, romaine lettuce, and the same Harissa Honey Chicken. We both genuinely enjoyed our meals--the flavors were fresh, balanced, and well-seasoned. I especially appreciated the option of white or brown rice, which not every fast-casual spot offers. But here's where things went downhill--the cleanliness of the dining room was unacceptable. The floors were sticky, and the tables and chairs were also sticky and covered with leftover food debris. The kicker? We were the very first customers of the day, which tells me that the restaurant was not cleaned the night before and definitely wasn't cleaned that morning before opening. That's unacceptable and honestly quite concerning. On top of that, we were not greeted upon entering. Instead, the staff stared at us awkwardly, which made the experience feel unwelcoming. Customer service was minimal and lacked warmth or attentiveness. Ratings: Salad Bowl - 5/5 Pita Wrap - 5/5 Ambience - 2/5 (dull, no music or energy) Cleanliness - 0/5 Customer Service - 2/5 Final Thoughts: As much as I enjoyed the food, I'm deeply concerned about the lack of cleanliness and hospitality. If the dining room is that neglected, I can't help but question the sanitation in the kitchen. Sadly, I won't be returning--not even for takeout. I don't want to risk food poisoning. Visit at your own risk. The food might be delicious, but poor upkeep and cold customer service ruined the experience for me. read more

I like the concept. Basically Mediterranean fast food where you have an assembly line to pick the items you want either in a bowl or pita (like Chipotle does). There are lots of choices and they do have suggested entrees as well. Staff is pleasant this time around but the very first time we came through I think the cashier may have been overwhelmed (I hope because that's the worst position to have if that's your CS attitude) but my daughter loves their falafel so we came back. Lots of seating and has a clean look to the restaurant. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Was in the mood for a quick Mediterranean food lunch and my kids brought me here. It was like a chipotle style restaurant where you can choose your favorite ingredients. It was very good and it was simple. It was what I wanted. The service was quick so the line moved along nicely. I also thought the prices were a little higher than usual but everything everywhere is high. The lunch was delicious- in fact I forgot to take a picture BEFORE I ate, so you will see the leftovers I took home. It heated up well in the microwave later that night. The water came in a can and I loved it! Never seen that before. Also, the bathroom is clean and I like that as well. read more

CAVA - Cava bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Every time we go here the service is horrible. I told the family today I was going to write a review before we went in the store. No surprise! The lady taking our order rolled her eyes at us several times. Why would you have someone like this interacting with customers? They need new management. read more

Just don't go to this cava. Try another I ordered a garlic chicken and vegetable pita sandwich. People, this is no exaggeration. There may have been one to two ounces of chicken in it. It was all vegetable. I couldn't even taste any chicken. It was like a game of hide and seek the chicken. Pretty sad. I will not be returning and would not recommend this Cava to anyone. Sad sandwich. Save your money. You've been warned read more

I love their model that allows you to pick a base of greens, grains or rice, then a protein (lamb, chicken, beef, falafel) then a spread and multiple add ons and sauces. Pretty much an infinite number of combinations, each so tasty and the ingredients are fresh. For healthy fast food, this place is hard to beat. Service is super friendly, and I took off one star for ambiance (it's a fast food joint, after all). read more

Tried for the first time last week, ordered the Harissa Avocado. WOW so delicious. Definitely recommend.

Chipotle style but make it Mediterranean! For all the negativity reviews that you're reading about the food, it's probably because they didn't order correctly when building their own bowl. They do have bowls that have selected ingredients you can choose from or you can make your own. If you don't know what to get, select a bowl that's already "pre made". can't speak to the service since we ordered through Uber Eats but my husband and I both got the harissa chicken and then chose the veggies and dressing that we wanted. BOMB. 10/10. read more

CAVA - Half Grain Half Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Cypress, Texas

I ordered off of doordash around 4pm, and received my bowl around 5. I do live kind of far out so timing wasn't necessarily the issue. I ordered the grains and green bowl (with harissa chicken). I noticed I didn't receive any chicken nor the complimentary pita bread. I don't know if it was a honest mistake because it says grains and greens. However, there was still a requirement for protein.. AND it clearly says on the ticket to add harissa chicken. Also I know Cava has a menu, but I have never ordered off that menu. I've always gone with the build your own way. When I saw the option "grains and greens", I saw it as just the base of my order. Whenever I called doordash they gave me the option to replace this order, which I did. THEN a second bowl came in with the same issue. As someone who works in the service industry I feel as if it's common sense to check the ticket before sending out food.. Overall, this is the worst experience I have had with Cava. I've been waiting to eat since 4pm when I originally placed my order. It's 6:22pm now. So you can only imagine how irritated I am. I know doordash can be confusing sometimes. But this is still an employee issue that could've been prevented had the ticket been checked. read more

Good food and service and courteous people . No thing else to say about the experience

I generally love the food and service at CAVA, but this location failed on all accounts. There were no forks during a busy lunch rush. The check out person forgot to add pita to several orders, even as customers were standing there waiting. The restaurant was filthy with trash all over. Poor experience to say the least. read more

First time trying this Cava location and I'll definitely be back! I went in just expecting to get some yummy food but the service here was also super warm! Had a nice conversation with Yaya which I definitely didn't expect at a fast casual restaurant but it was super nice, especially after a long day at the tax office! Food is always delicious and next time I'll be sure to get a yummy house made lemonade too!! read more

Do not order this place for delivery. They will get your order wrong every single time. You need to go in the store and watch them make your order step by step because they will find a way to miss something. It's ridiculous, on top of that you can't even call the store or speak to anyone to address the issues they have. read more

Clean, great service! Love the food and fried peta chips! They made a fresh batch for us! Thank you Denise for getting me to try the praise lamb...my new favorite! read more

Mediterranean flavors meets fast casual dining at Cava, and it's a delicious, healthy, high value option for you to dine at before you get your shopping on at the nearby outlets. Ordered online and orders came out quickly and without issue. Dined in the restaurant, and it was overall a clean and sanitary experience. I thought the portions were just right, and the food blends spice, sour, and umami in its salads very well. Overall would recommend anytime you're in a rush and want healthy and delicious food all for great value. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Hi, I just went to Cava to eat a chicken and rice bowl as I normally do, and overheard the manager yelling at an employee. The manger was named Denise, she was an old lady who has white hair. She was yelling at her employee about 'being on her phone all day' and that the employee's father was coming to pick them up? The employee from when I've come to get my regular (chicken and rice bowl) is normally always working and doing her job. Is this how management treat their workers?? read more

10/10 the service and food was delicious. It was my first time dining in and they employees were so helpful

Cava is my go to spot when I'm hungry and I need a quick bite to eat. Get their steak, they state that it's grass fed beef! And don't be shy with the SKUG sauce!!!! read more

Amazing service did your team led by an employee name Yaya will come there more often if all the employees are enjoying like her nice atmospheric place read more

I've driven by Cava so many times and it always intrigued me. I finally stopped by a few weekends ago and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a grains & rice bowl and a pita wrap just in case. The food is so fresh & delicious. I really like the Persian pickles/cucumbers. The spicy lamb meatballs were so delicious and I love how soft and fluffy the pita is. The two times I've stopped by the crew making my food was really nice & helpful. They even let me try the spicy chicken and man does it have a nice kick!! I love their hummus & tzatziki. Their strawberry citrus drink is also really good & refreshing. Overall, they really impressed me and I will for sure be coming back! read more

Love this concept! It's basically Chipotle, but make it Mediterranean style. You walk up and they ask if you want a bowl or pita style and asked if you want their super greens or rice. You can create your own bowl or you can choose from from their list of curated bowls. Even if you choose from their curated menu, you can add or take away what you don't like. It was hard choosing one because they all sounded so delicious, but chose the Lentil Avocado bowl and my sister chose her the Harissa Avocado bowl. Wow, wow, wow...my mouth was dancing...the flavors were so unique and delicious! I can taste the fresh Persian sliced cucumbers, the tasty eggplant, falafel, hummus and roasted vegetables. Their were so many flavors but they all came together and to top it off they added the garlic dressing and the Skhug sauce (cilantro avocado sauce), which probably made the dish for me. I tried a bit of my sister's Harissa Avocado and that hony harissa chicken in there was superb! I think I can eat just that with a bowl or their rice and I would be totally satisfied and happy. Only thing I would say if I were to make any critiques is that I wish the falafel was a bit bigger and crunchier and that their cabbages were diced up into smaller pieces. I had to pick out a couple of big pieces of cabbages because they were too hard to chew on. But those won't deter me from wanting to come back at all. I will be a returning customer! read more

There's not an option for no stars or below I don't love giving negative feedback but after 3 failed attempts to this location, I'm find to say this is a definite no! The place is below sanitary- all tables are always dirty and the staff even if there's none walking they the door, they don't attempt to clean. The seats are filthy, floors, doors and windows are filty- in more than sure if the health department came they fail... and I am afraid to know what the kitchen looks like if this is their concern for the customer seating area. The lines are always backed up and the first time I visit, I was under the impression it was due to lack of staff as many restaurants these days face, but I'm now aware by a following visit. That they are improper staffed as they had 4 parole working the food line and 3 at the cash register arguing on who would assist a customer with a juice refund because the fresh juice the restaurant offers was not made for the day... the team couldn't convince another team member to make if for the day,... There was only 1 young lady working that was attentive to the customers as she attempted to make food, she assisted with the request to clean a table for eating and she asked the back to make the missing food items needed to compete customer orders. One of the food line workers was too busy on his iPhone to help make food for the make table and was using his phone openly in the kitchen... no gloves... pretty sure that's a break of code when handling food.... I love cava because their menu is unique to anything in the area and their food is actually very tasty but this location needs corporate attention and fast! Sad for such a new location to fail because the head corporate office has people running their store that don't care to be working.... read more

Ashley the Manager is great at her job! She's very helpful with her descriptions of everything that they have available and patient while you make your selections. If you haven't checked this place out you need to do it today! My family and I have been here at least five times and every time it's delicious! I never stray from the build your own pita! It's freaking amazing!! The strawberry lemonade is to die for!! read more

Love this location, the service and food are always good and the restaurant is always clean

I've only been to this location twice and I wasn't impressed either time. During this most recent adventure our kids chicken was super spicy because the "guy who makes the chicken wasn't there today". I really want to leave a giant detailed review, but I don't have the patience to waste on this place anymore. This location needs work. read more

Been coming to this location since they've opened here in Fairfield, always been great staff and good food for the price, now they've gone and done what chipotle did, started shrinking portions and up charging on extras that used to be free, the quality has now nosedived and the staff have an attitude from hell. Used to be able to get a greens and grains bowl of my choosing but now it's an extra $3 for simply asking to split your greens, CAVA for the love of god don't do what chipotle did! read more

We ordered crispy falafel pita Dish was good and tasty Portion was very less Chicken bowl was good read more

First, I'd like to say the food is incredible and I am so thankful for a new restaurant in Cypress that actually offers so many gluten free options. That being said, every experience we've had ordering online leaves so much to be desired. Every order we've had hasn't been done by the expected time. My husband is currently waiting for our order that was supposed to be done by 530. At 550, he was told it hadn't been started yet. This isn't isolated, it's every time. With 2 small kids, it's hard to wait so long for food. We'll still be going because it's not Chipotle, but we know to clear our schedules and bring snacks. read more

It hurts me to put these two stars because how much I love eating here but this is how bad my experience was. I placed an online order 20 minutes in advance, arrived on time and was told my food was coming out...about 4 times while I waited for a total of 45 minutes inside. Not once was I told that they were out of chicken and that it would be another 45 minutes wait. If they did then I would've just gotten something else rather than waiting. Unfortunately I wasn't the only one waiting, there were about 10 people waiting that long to get some chicken in their bowl. The worst part for me was that once the chicken was ready, the customers that had just gotten in line actually got their chicken before everybody in the to go line did (the ones waiting for 45 minutes). Preparations, priority and communication needs to be way better or else there's going to be many reviews like this to follow. I felt like there wasn't someone in charge of everything trying to take lead. I am upset but I write this to hopefully see a change soon because I really do enjoy eating here. read more

A good option for an alternative to everything else and they have good options to try and keep a healthy meal, but it is still fast food...so there is no confusion. I do like they have options like brown rice and vegetables. It is good for those that have tree nut allergies. My only complaint is the hummus. It is delicious but if you order it they give you a small dressing cup to eat/dip out of and for the price of it I would have preferred a bowl. Still delicious, so 3 stars! read more
