Q is the sweetest person there always with a great spirit and love. Very attentive and caring with each person that walks in. Shows his love even through the food , feels like the food tastes better when he serves it up. Cava is always clean and stocked up and has the vibes always. 110/10 read more

The food is always fantastic and I definitely recommend this place to anyone. Although the customer service is lacking. Multiple times I've been and almost every single time it's the same rude guy. I don't know his name but he seems miserable and has an attitude. Then I believe she's a shift lead. Extremely rude as well. Your best bet is ordering online so you don't have to interact with their staff read more

Ordered ahead on the app and had a pleasant experience, my meal was ready ahead of time which worked out in my favor. It was made perfectly and I LOVED it. So juicy, all of the meats were fantastic and everything was just delicious. 10/10 - just know parking can be tough in the small section of the parking lot due to Starbucks too! read more

One of my favorites. The food is so fresh and delicious. Service is awesome. Love the atmosphere.

Really nice location near the mall. The staff was working hard to fulfill many orders yet they stayed friendly in spite of being busy. Cava is a delight to eat at as the food is always delicious. Price point is fair especially for the 'build your own bowl.' You can't go wrong with Cava. read more

Never disappoint I love the salad bowl! Service is always slow so be prepared to wait

Service and food were both awesome..staff was very helpful given I'd never eaten here before..and the bowls are terrific

Customer service was 10/10 If you're unsure of what to get just ask the staff to "get you right"! I went there today for the first time and employee by the name of Q made sure I was 100% satisfied. I told him "get me right " and all I'll say is I'll be back again real soon 10/10 I highly recommend!!! The bowl look too good I forgot to take a pic just know it was gas! read more

First of all, to the workers at the front working 09/06/2025, don't ever disrespect my wife again. Had an order for 4:45pm to be picked up, went inside with a positive attitude and asked for my order which wasn't done yet so I waited as long as I could for it. 20 minutes past and still not done so I asked my wife to go in and see if it was ready, once again, wife went in with a positive attitude until the workers at the front want to act like it's busy with no one in line. Also when asked for corporate number to voice our concern, looks like they didn't even give the right number. 9107051133 If this was really corporate, it wouldn't go to voicemail or reject our call. And also we come from service industry and we get the short staff, but have some sense of urgency and at least the decency to be nice to people, ESPECIALLY when we were being nice to YOU, if anyone should be upset or annoyed, it should be us. And one more note, a good manager is never too busy for an upset guest. And a good manager doesn't send someone out to tell an upset guest that they're "too busy" with only like 4 people in the restaurant. It's always good to be kind because you never know what people are going through, but there are ways to go about it. read more

Ordered from their app this evening and picked it up in 15 mins. The staff was friendly and fast. Thank you for making my bowl look pretty! As always it was delicious. read more

The food was good but the service was horrible. Very RUDE staff making the order. At 8:45 Thursday evening OCT 10th female staff member shorter one not the taller one. It's obvious they are all new using their laminated cheat sheet cards for the ingredients (which is ok) but poor customer service ruins the experience . This staff person needs more support with face to face contact with customers or better to let her do background work until this important skill is learned. $40+ for 2 people salad bowls and lemonade in Fayetteville is not cheap. I received way friendlier service from BoJangles. Do better CAVA HR. read more

CAVA - Greek Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

service was very poor. the girl who made my bowl never said anything, through the ingredients in the bowl, had to ask her for more cucumbers because she literally put 3 in the bowl. if I'm going to pay 17$ for a bowl at least give me a scoop!! then the girl at the register wasn't much better, didn't ask me if I wanted a drink or anything just printed the receipt and silence. I know we're all imperfect but dang maybe they could care a little bit!! read more

Growing up in Fayetteville all my life but currently living in Raleigh where I frequent the local Cava, I came home for Christmas and was SO HAPPY to find out that there has been an established Cava here! I love Cava so much and this one was a great size with great, quick service and food. Everything tasted very fresh and cooked to perfection. My order was a salad bowl with: - Greens: Splendid greens & supergreens - Protein: 1/2 chicken, 1/2 roasted veggies - Sauce: Harissa on the side - Veggies: Pickled onions, tomato & cucumber, lentils, corn - Pita on the side, of course! 10/10. I truly hope that this Cava stays in Fayetteville for a good bit! read more

I've coming here for years now and it's always a 10/10 experience. The place is always clean and they are always working to make it clean. The food can't be better it's consistent and delicious. Today while folks are normally friendly and attentive, Q's level of customer service is top notch and deserves a shout out. So thank you Q for making this Cava goers experience great today. read more

I've decided I'm tired of getting terrible service. So I'm taking away 5 stars. I'd take away 2 more if I could. Very rarely can I say I have had bad service but it seems to be a Fayetteville trend. Not being greeted, being ignored, and having someone who works behind the counter in a service industry who acts like you aren't standing in front of them is ridiculous. Luckily there were two girls working the front or I'd still be standing there, with one behind me, wondering if my money is green like everyone else's. The food here is delicious. I'm not a fan of mass produced chain food, fast food, or previously prepared food. Fayetteville is loaded with that garbage. Cava reminds me of the awesome food on the West Coast. It makes me homesick. Flavorful. Not salty or greasy. Lots of choices. Some of the best food I've had so far in this town. I give them 5 stars back if I could. -7 plus 5 is 3 stars. read more

Welcome to Fayetteville, Cava! You are such a breath of fresh, delicious, and healthy breath of fresh air among so many spots that do not match the quality. I can't wait to come back and try you when you are fully open, but definitely today is a great start. At the community day today the staff was welcoming from the front to check out.. I liked that they really opened up the space for seating and walking around--it doesn't look like the same place! There is not too much color with little pops of white, brown, and black. On the walls as you walk in they boast how they work with local farms and all their ingredients are made and chopped up fresh every day--and you can tell. All of the items along the line were do colorful and so tempting to eat. The menu is super simple with first deciding on your base of a salad, greens and grains, mini pita, grain bowl, large pita, or right rice. For my base I decided to get the greens and grains bowl with spinach and right rice. Right rice is a delicious high protein mix of lentils, chickpeas, and peas. They give you plenty of food and options. I tried to decide between everything and it made my head hurt a little bit, but a good hurt. For my toppings I got tzakihi, blended eggplant, crazy feta, honey chicken, roasted vegetables, stewed tomatoes, and pickled onions. For dressings I got a side of their hot hatissa vinaigrette. Since it was a community opening they were not accepting payments, but donations to the Second Harvest food bank.. They gave me a drink cup for free and they have some great sodas, teas, and lemonades! Omg I mixed their cucumber and raspberry tea and it was sooo yummy! read more

CAVA has come to Fayetteville! This DC area chain has always been one of the biggest hits of fast casual bowl meals for me, and they've evolved to include easy options for the modern age, with an app that you can order food on, which will be on a shelf when you arrive. This location screwed up by being hard to find; everything says Cross Creek Mall, but it's sort of in the parking lot outside the mall on the far side from the highway (which is good, because the mall closes early). In this day and age, you really need to make sure your new restaurant has accurate map markers on all the websites and that your fancy app can tell the customer how to get their food. I wandered around for a while looking. The food, though, was as good as ever, though their menu keeps evolving. The dips and spreads they build their brand on are served in ample portions and remain delicious, but they've got great options like lentils for a "grain" as well as "right rice", a high-protein product made out of beans (which is good but which I didn't feel like paying extra for). The vegetables were crisp and the overall balance of my bowl is pretty much exactly what I want to be eating. read more

I want to give the biggest shoutout to the staff who was working around 1 today (September 22nd, 2025). It was my first time in so I didn't even know where to begin. The staff was polite, knowledgeable, and offered samples to ensure I liked what I would be ordering. Several staff made decisions when I couldn't make up my mind and asked them to surprise me. It may have been silly, but I truly couldn't think straight. We had a horrific family emergency less than 48 hours ago that has left us scrambling. We came in just to have healthy options for a meal and were met with incredible staff and food. I want to hug every one of the sweet people working today. Already labeling myself a future regular because we will not hesitate to return time and time again. read more

They were slow as hell, had no sense of urgency and we're out of half the stuff...smh

Excellent customer service, fresh food, & always friendly smiles @ CAVA Cross Creek!!! read more

CAVA - GM Mrs. Mary & Crew taking care of business.... - Mediterranean Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

So... we ordered online and when we came inside I noticed there were no orders to go. I waited in line for 10 minutes to tell the guy that that I was here for my pick up order. He let me know that they are working on it. I sat for thirty minutes!!!! Before getting up and asking yet again. Just to be told that "oh someone else took your order" what??? So I wait for them to remake it while getting THE MOST attitude. I didn't understand how it was my fault they gave my order away. But paying 45$ for two bowls and 2 drinks just to get poor customer service is crazy. read more

The food is delicious. Fast friendly service. You can seat inside and outside. The Steak Mezze is DELICIOUS! read more

I'll stick to Mezeh. So disappointed. I've always stayed away from Cava because it's in the worst location ever, but a friend in Raleigh keeps posting beautiful bowls from Cava. I gave it a try and instantly regretted it. I ordered online and it wasn't ready when I got there and it was past the time given on the app. They were too busy talking. They made it as I waited, which was fine, but when I got home, the rice wasn't even in the bowl. I ordered a grains and greens bowl. This left me a soggy mess, even though I got the sauce on the side.. There was nothing to soak up the juices from the chicken, which had a strange texture, and the toppings. I ate four bites and threw the rest in the trash. I didn't even bother calling and complaining because I have no desire to return. Only one out of four employees were friendly. The others looked like they hated to be there. read more

I would definitely come back again. Thank you all again so much for a great meal and your great hospitality. read more

Staff was awesome. Food was very bland, especially for Mediterranean. If you want the spicy lamb it costs an extra $3 even though the bowl I ordered was already $10.95. Even the sauces were bland. It was like - every ingredient appeared to be there but there was just no flavor. There's a Mediterranean in the Sprouts parking lot that is also expensive but the food is outstanding. read more

This place is hit or miss. Depending on who the server is, the nice older ladies are amazing. The younger ones se like they don't want to work there. DONT WASTE YOIR TIME ORDERING FOR PICK UP! It is soooooooooo much quicker to just go through the line. They prioritize that over hitting the pick up time. They went 20 mins over my pick up time and the place was basically empty. read more

AMAZING! This restaurant is an excellent addition to the dining choices in the area. The restaurant is clean and the food is delicious.
