CAVA never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and filling. The staff was friendly, the ingredients tasted high quality, and my bowl was packed with flavor. Definitely one of the best fast casual spots I've been to. read more

By far my favorite Cava near me! Friendly, welcoming and brought my food to an available table I wanted to sit at when I had my baby in the stroller with me - not sure if that's normal service but it was kind and helpful! Food was fresh and tasty although the chips were a bit disappointing, the only thing that didn't taste fresh like they usually do. Ample parking in the plaza it's located in. Love that they were sanitizing and cleaning when I walked in, definitely living up to the cleaning standards that are posted in the dining area. read more

I've done both takeout and dined in, and it's always been a pleasant experience. The space is large, clean and quiet, and the staff are friendly and helpful. My go to protein is always the lamb meatballs, which are delicious. This time, I tried the braised lamb, which was juicy and tender. Their selection is always plentiful and fresh, and the dressings are tasty (I get them on the side). If you haven't tried the bottled blueberry soda, you should!! Speaking for my budget, it's a bit on the pricey side (but totally worth it). read more

CAVA - yummy blueberry soda - Mediterranean Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

I was told to reach out to customer service and I did and still no response. No reply...nothing! That's how this location operates.

I stopped in here for takeout and I got the Greek grilled chicken salad and the Greek grilled chicken pita. We both enjoyed the meals, but later felt bloated and very full. I'm not sure if the food is clean and that's my big concern. The taste was good, but the feeling after was not good. I probably would be hesitant to go again. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

I came by CAVA - Edgewater for my post-workout meal. I used to go to the Paramus location, PERO... their service is basura, so I decided to go to this location instead. It opened a little over a year ago, so the interior is still new and shiny. There's plenty of available parking since it's in a large shopping outlet. I came past 9pm on Black Friday and I was worried that they would be out of a lot of items. I was pleasantly surprised because I was the only one in store and they were fully stocked! I opted for the Build-Your-Own Bowl option (~$12). My usual order is: brown rice, chicken, eggplant dip, tzatziki, crazy feta dip, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, feta cheese, pita crisps, olives, and Greek vinaigrette. The chicken was seasoned well and all of the ingredients tasted fresh. I go CRAZY for CAVA dips lol. The employee that made my bowl was very friendly as well. I wish the Paramus location could step up their game since they're much closer to me. I'll stick to coming to Edgewater from now on. read more

I went to Cava last Friday for lunch time and took my lunch to go. I ordered the Steak + Feta pita. It had Steak, Crazy Feta, red pepper hummus, feta, pickles, romaine, garlic dressing, Greek vinaigrette. The service was quick; I ordered my food and left within 7-10 minutes. The ambience was nice and quiet. There were a couple of people eating inside the restaurant. I also ordered myself the strawberry citrus drink. It was so refreshingly good since it was pretty warm out this day this past Friday around 80 degrees out. My steak pita was delicious too. I haven't had cava before so I have always been intrigued to give it a try. So happy I tried their food. This location is fairly new and was clean. It has warm inviting lights. 10/10 Mediterranean food rec. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with the CAVA in Edgewater. This isn't about one bad experience--almost every time we order from this location, something is wrong or missing from our order. What makes it even more frustrating is that when we call to let them know, the response is immediately, "We'll issue a refund, and you'll receive it in 5-6 days." I don't want a refund. I want the food I ordered, prepared correctly and with everything I paid for. If I order hummus with pita chips, I expect to receive the pita chips--not just a container of hummus with nothing to eat it with. It shouldn't be a struggle every time we order to get a complete and accurate meal. Mistakes happen, and I completely understand that. But when it happens repeatedly, it becomes a lack of attention and poor service. Offering a refund days later doesn't fix the fact that someone is sitting there unable to enjoy their meal the way they ordered it. We enjoy CAVA, which is why we keep ordering, but the Edgewater location seriously needs to improve its quality control and check orders before they leave the restaurant. At this point, the repeated mistakes are incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. read more

I used to come here a lot. After last week, I will never return. My salad was loaded with all the good stuff. Halfway into my salad, I find a random piece of wood. I give it to the manager and she offers me a free water ? Bitch what? Why is there wood in the salad? I didn't care about receiving free items nor did I want a new salad. I just wanted to bring to her attention Absolutely not. read more

I have loved CAVA for years and have been so thrilled that they have expanded into New Jersey! Their newish location in Edgewater was the nicest one I have been to yet. The counter staff was very friendly; the food was delicious; and the whole place was clean. I entered the spacious, sun-filled restaurant and headed to the counter to order my typical meal, which was a Build-Your-Own Salad Bowl, including: -Super Greens -Harissa -Red Pepper Hummus -Roasted Eggplant Dip -Grilled Chicken -Fiery Broccoli -Fire Roasted Corn -Salt-Brined Pickles -Tomato + Cucumber -Cabbage Slaw -Persian Cucumber -Kalamata Olives -Yogurt Dill Dressing on the side I grabbed my tray and headed over to the dining room's ample seating and selected a table. While they largely appeared spotless, I did notice that the tables were also somehow sticky, which was a phenomenon that I had also experienced at the Jersey City location. Regardless, I found a less gunky seat, peeled the plastic top off my bowl, and dug into the hearty, filling portion of fresh ingredients. Each dip and topping was better than the last, and they all really blended well together. My only negative comment would be that 2 or 3 of the chicken pieces were a bit fatty, though they were also still tender. My Edgewater CAVA experience was another great one, and I was so thrilled to have another location of the quick-service restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

My favorite Cava location! They always give me extra portions! Always give me friendly service and smiles! And there's only been 1 time where something wasn't added to my order for pickup, but I attribute that to how packed the restaurant gets in the evening time. Worth the visit. read more

10 for 10 - staff was amazing ! Line moved quickly but not rushing customers. Answered all questions and offered option if confused. Fresh full bowls. Manager even helping during a busy spout, not just sitting in the back. Had to ask for their names. Friendly-helpful-knowledgeable!! Shout out to Melissa and Yourois, great customer service! read more

On Saturday, I had to e pleasure of visiting Cava for the grand opening of its Edgewater location. This location is in the same plaza as the Target and Acme. They rang in the event with a Community Day. In addition to celebrating the opening of the restaurant, Cava also used this as a philanthropic opportunity. They were accepting and matching credit card donations up to $1000, with proceeds going to their local community partner Table to Table, New Jersey's first food rescue organization. At Saturday's event, we were able to sign up for a 15 minute pick up slot to pick up a free meal and drink. When we arrived there were employees by the door who greeted us and ushered us in. Surprisingly, there was no wait. They were very well staffed - at least 8 people were behind the counter. We got right on line and ordered our meals. We had the choice between a bowl and pita. I ordered a bowl with rice, honey chicken and cucumber tomato salad . You also get the Choice of a sauce, so I got tzatziki. I really liked the variety of options. The food seemed healthy but also flavorful. The chicken was spicier than I expected but still tasty. Overall, this was a pleasant experience and I'm grateful I was able to come in and try them out. Thank you for hosting this free event! read more

Staff are "matter a fact". You can tell they got some mood or attitude going on. The food is good. I love the feta chips and dip. Just a bit pricey for what you get. read more

Cava just opened in Edgewater. We went to try it. The place was clean with plenty of seating room. The food was flavorful and ingredients fresh. Service was great - the people we met made an effort to answer questions and be of service. I would recommend trying the drinks - got a cucumber lemonade. It was very good. All the drinks were good. It was nice to be able to make my own bowl. I added rice, a protein and veggies. Was nice to have a tasty, well balanced meal without having to cook it. Cava has a 'fast food' feel to it but a nice option for a good, quick meal. read more

I went to Cava around 9pm last night and the staff on shift was a 10/10. Took their time but did not slow down the line. Answered all my questions thoroughly. My bowl was delicious. Melissa and Yourois were great! read more

This is a casual option for dine in or take out. It is a make your own style restaurant- you choose a base, then protein, mix-ins, toppings, etc. The staff is usually friendly and helpful. I have done both dine-in and take out through Uber eats. My personal favorite is the chicken bowl. Their pickles and olives are especially tasty. Overall, you can't go wrong if you're looking for a quick, easy, inexpensive, and filling meal option. read more

Opens at 10:30 am. White rice, the easiest thing to make wasn't ready for customers. The toppings selection should be completely ready! Maybe they need a new cook who is prepared and has a sense of urgency. read more

Love this location! Francisco is the best. This store is really clean and everyone is very friendly!!

CAVA is a great spot for fresh and flavorful Mediterranean food. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the build-your-own bowl option gives plenty of variety. The portions are generous, and the flavors--especially the sauces--are bold and delicious. The restaurant is clean, service is quick, and it's a great option for a healthy, satisfying meal. Definitely worth trying! Shoutout to Francisco he's great and has been a huge help! super kind and respectful! thank you read more

Cava has surprisingly become my favorite semi fast food spot. It's like the Greek Chipotle so I was glad when a new one opened up in the area. This particular Cava is a little smaller than the other ones I've been to. It's hard to believe this was an Italian restaurant before this. When I got I usually get a bowl with a little bit of rice , chicken, tzatziki, red pepper hummus, and all the fixings. I like the variety of toppings they have and the dressings are so good. My favorite is yogurt dill. If you're looking for a decent healthy quick meal then cava is it. The portions are great. The pita chips are addicting so if you're trying to remain healthy don't do it to yourself. read more

Love this place soo much! Francisco is the absolutely best! Always great service and fresh food!

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

If I had to sum up this place in one- two words, it would be "Mediterranean Chipotle". For $11.15 pretax, you can build your own bowl or pita choosing between splitting the bases of saffron rice, brown rice, lentils or arugula salad. I picked saffron rice over 1/2 Harissa honey chicken (extra costs), 1/2 lamb with a falafel. There is unlimited toppings such as corn, tomato, olives, fried noodles and avocado(extra cost). A couple of things - the food in general was lovely especially being able to build my own bowl. However, note that if you picked harissa chicken over regular chicken, it will cost extra. Avocado will also cost extra. It was between $1.50-$2. The lamb was somewhat disappointing because it was too gamy and could use some flavor. Otherwise, the food was fresh and the tahini sauce and hummus was nicely done. The bowl comes with a side of sliced pita bread. Overall, I would rate this 3.8 stars for flavor and options. read more

Good food, line to order on was a bit problematic. No one seemed to be sure of their station and were going back and forth creating a lot of confusion for employees which slowed service down. I ordered a chicken & rightrice bowl. When I got to topping section they had no feta!!! How could this place not have feta since it's supposed to be in certain bowls and sandwiches? Not to mention it's like 10% of their menu. She asked if I wanted something else so I asked for avocado and she said she couldn't without charging me for it. I told her "but your missing part of the item I ordered " she didn't care and became annoyed I even asked. It's not my fault you ran out of feta you clown !!! Blueberry lavender drink wasn't good at all but again food was minus the lack of ingredients. read more
