    I love cava. The food is always good. Place has plenty of space to sit. Service was ok. I felt like they were skimping out of protein and toppings bc I've had it else where and they give you a fair amnt.

    Falafel bowl.
    Krissy W.

    It delivered as Cava should. Falafel was good. Veggies were fresh. And the sauce was the perfect condiment. The dining area was clean with inside and outside seating options. The service was friendly and prompt. Opted for seating by the fountain in the shopping area's center.

    This food was so good I got rice, chicken, spinach, corn, beans, humus, and a mix of sauces. Cava never misses but especially this location. The service is good even with a long line. The ambiance is ok but it's always clean.

    Erica and Chris were super friendly, efficient and helpful even when the line was out the door! Store AND kitchen were clean which is super rare in build-your-own bowl places. This is my favorite CAVA out of the ones near me! Never disappointed. Also gave us fresh ingredients that just came out! Thank you :)

    The Baseline: For Mediterranean salad the ingredients must be quality/fresh, the taste must be savory, and the preparation must make sense for Mediterranean cuisine. Food: Tried the Garlicky Chicken Shawarma bowl and it was a delicious, filling bowl of food. The ingredients were fresh and I saw certain items being cooked in front of me. Quality fast casual food. Service: The staff put together my order quickly and were nice about asking what I wanted on everything. Ambiance: Came in to order and go and the restaurant was clean and had an easy layout.

    This was a delivery order. I have heard about this restaurant before, and decided to give Cava a try. Cava is a Mediterranean restaurant that serves plenty of delicious variations. The bowl that appealed to me the most was, Half grilled steak and half chicken Shawarma. The restaurant prepared a delicious bowl of grilled goodness. Inside the bowl was your choice of proteins, greens, grains, toppings, dressings, and an optional side. There are many different ways to customize your own bowl. The bowl is large enough to hold a hefty amount of delicious food. My bowl was a flavorful, fresh meal. I am so glad that I made the choice to order from this delectable, bountiful, and delicious restaurant. First time, and not the last.

    Great as always, in town for work near this location. Great service, super fast, super warm and fresh food.

    I came here with my family for the first time and if I'm going to be honest, I'm not in a rush to come back. The food was great, super flavorful and fresh but the wait time is a bit much. Yes, this place is very popular which is why there is a huge line but with the amount of staff, you wouldn't expect to wait about 45 minutes to get to the front of the line from the door. From my point of view, the slow process is from the staff unfortunately. When ordering, each employee that would take over the next step of your bowl kept forgetting to add something because they're trying to move too fast or they would go somewhere else to help another employee while in the middle of building your bowl, so that would cause you to have to wait for them and of course causes the slow down in the line. The employees are also not that friendly here. They come off as hostile and annoyed. Maybe they're overwhelmed from the amount of people coming in but it just seems like you're causing an inconvenience if you ask them a question about the food or for certain toppings. It made me not want to be there anymore at all and my whole family felt this way too, unfortunately. I may try a different location, but from this experience, I'm in no rush.

    I hate myself a little for sleeping on this place, as it is wonderful in many ways, like the many constellations that appear in Zeu's galaxy. For example, we all know that the economy has become demanding, as in expects us to have two gigs, and a passive income stream to cope with it. But this place stills offers a good lunch for under 15.00 dollars, which is honestly, not only a good deal, but a refreshing deal as one can go here, even if one does not have the Golden Touch of Midas. Like today, I got a very filling bowl, with chicken, sweet potatoes, brown rice, romaine lettuce, hummus- traditional- tzaiki, olives, pickles, and some other stuff, that made a welcomed melody of flavors. I also got pita strips on top, which gave my bowl a delighful crunch, so textures play a factor in its deliciousness too! For no other reason, this place deserves its own statue in Greece's Pantheon or Circe's Hall of Trophies, which I am sure she has, not only a pen for the warriors she turned to swine. Another wonderful aspect of this place, is that, like Chipotle and other such joints, it allows you to customize your plate, which means that what you can have for lunch really is incomputable. I think I heard somewhere, that no two games of poker can be the same, because with 52 cards in the deck the possibilities of game play run into the millions or more. Thus, the combination for lunch at this place, might literally stretch the cosmos. I am trying to recall my math class of yesteryears and perhaps the word I am looking for is permutation, as the permutations in a bowl from Cava are quite literally incalculable., less one has the wisdom of Athena. So, this means, that all types of eaters are welcomed from Vegans to Omnivores and every type of biter in between, including those wearing Gladiator sandals. I do not recall, going to this place, and them not having a long line. Well except this one time where I went and waited for the joint to open. But to be honest, as soon as they opened, me and like three other folks stepped in, with measured steps, not like the Greeks who barged into Troy. I really cannot find fault in this place, except that I do not live close to one. I do not have to travel the length and woe of an Odyssey to get to one, for sure, not, but still one is at least 20 minutes from me, so it does kind of feel like a Herculean task. For those who might not have gleaned it by my over use of Greek references this place is Greek inspired fare.

    Split a Summer Blackened Salmon Bowl (+ extra salmon) + brownie between 2 people. $38 (w 15% tip)…read more It's on the spendy side as you would imagine. 7ish/10 - It was pretty good. Pretty ok. Pretty fine. Not bad. Not fantastic. But good. With the price of everything else these days ($25 for 2 double-doubles, 2 fries and a shake...). The salmon was ok. It doesn't say fresh or frozen salmon anywhere, or if it's wild or farmed. I'm guessing it's frozen and farmed. The blackened flavor helps to hide that. The rest of the bowl was pretty good. The quinoa/rice was pretty tasty. The salad was ok, but I'm not a salad lover. Avocado, fresh. Salad dressing, VERY lemony if that's your thing. Brownie was slightly dry but also delicious cuz it's a brownie. It's gluten-free after all. The best part? It's just kind of a mellow meal. There's a lot of places to eat out in South Bay, but I don't always want pizza or sushi or burgers or steak. Sometimes I just want some chill food that's real and good, that's easy to get and easy to take home and this fits the bill! Pick-up is easy. I love the little area it's in, there's plenty of parking if you drive around. And there's a nice place to sit outside in the back/on the side with CLEAN tables and umbrellas. Honestly, so chill and quiet. Enjoyable. All in all, we'll be back.

    Well, it's been quite a while since we dined here and, after tonight, we are wondering why we…read moredidn't come back sooner. The last time we were here, it was during a busy lunch and both the service and the food were below par. But tonight, it wasn't as busy and our server, Geovani, was excellent. First, we were quickly greeted and asked to select our table (since they were not that busy). Since there was only two of us, we picked a table for two. But, after we decided that we would split an appetizer and an entree, the table for two became way to small way too quickly. Geovani jumped right on this, suggesting we move to a larger table. He helped us move everything over and, voila, we were able to stretch out and relax and enjoy our meal. We started with the pear and blue cheese salad and, wow, we could have just ordered this, split it, and we would have been full. Very flavorful, generous portion that is definitely big enough to share. We also ordered the Sausage & Leek Fettuccine and I was definitely not thinking. Totally forgetting that leeks are part of the onion family (and I have a sensativity to onions). Once the dish arrive, I immediately noticed the similarity and was slowly trying to pick them away from my portion. Once again, Geovani came to our rescue. He asked how everything was and I told him I made a mistake (noted above). He quickly volunteered to have the kitchen make it again without the leeks. I asked, "Are you sure?", and he immediately said yes and removed the dish. Very shortly after, he returned with the "onion sterile" dish and it was wonderful. Both of us were so full you could have rolled us out the door. Good thing the parking garage is so close so we could just hop in our car and go home. Time to loosen the belt! ;) In a week where we have had some personal issues, it was so nice to be treated so well and received such a great tasting meal. Hope you get the time to stop in and I hope you get Giovani to answer all your questions and issues. Enjoy!!!

Waitress was a bit brusque. Ok. We all have bad days. But she never checked on us: MIA. I needed a refill. Waited and waited she was nowhere to be found. Busboy delivered our food. We asked for an extra plate and a refill. We never got either. Still no waitress. Had to go to the bar to get the plate and the refill. What really soured me was the bartender/manager's attitude. I told her the service was not good. She grudgingly asked what was wrong. I explained. She responded defensively that they had a busy day. No apology, which really goes a long way. She came back to check on us, but was surly. I would like to think that today was a one off. But the service was a big fail from the very beginning with waitress to the busboy to the manager. This signals a serious owner/management problem. In all fairness, food was still good. But, not so good as to put up with unprofessional service. I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. Had been giving this place a shout out to friends. Won't be doing that anymore.
