I ordered a Greens + Grains bowl with chicken, Crazy Feta, hummus, tzatziki, and several toppings. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. The customer service was on point--friendly, fast, and professional from start to finish. This location never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, the ingredients are always fresh, and the staff does a great job. Shot out to Manuel Definitely a 10/10 experience every time I visit. Highly recommend! read more

Been to quite a few of these throughout the region. This one fit the bill as well. Fast, friendly service and quality on par with any other Cava out there. Good, serviceable Mediterranean food. read more

I came in after a long night of work ready to go, and Arlin, who helped me out tonight was so incredibly kind!!

First time here, I wasn't expecting m icy because I like more substantial food and thought this would be like other places of this sort: Cold, gritty, lots of chewing, little satisfaction. But I was very surprised. it was clean, fresh, and tasty, and the spiced lamb meatballs were substantial and really hit the spot! and I guess I can feel good that its healthier than the other fast food places. The house made juices were also great! fresh tasting and not too sweet. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a good healthy place that's fast and satisfies. read more

I had never been to Cava or tried their food. I was leaving the area and saw them and quickly decided to try. I was welcomed by Brandon who was kind, fast and knowledgeable when preparing my order. I was impressed by the quality of food even when ordering & very surprised they cut my avocado right in front of me . On top they gave me 1 bowl for free and that really made my night. Food was delicious & despite being 20 min away, we will be going back!! read more

They had the perfect pita chips. They were soft with the perfect amount t of crunch. Other locations I have been to have never been this good. My bowl was just as great as other locations. They had great customer service also. Everyone super nice. But those pita chips.......oh my goodness!! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

We were served by someone named Racquel, who claimed to be the "manager for now." Her behavior was aggressive, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. We are vegetarians, yet she handed us bags containing beef, pork, and chicken. When we tried to explain our dietary restrictions, she said, "I decide what you get in Too Good To Go." We even followed up with a call, but nothing was resolved. To make matters worse, she told us, "Your reviews don't scare us--I'll do what I want." This kind of attitude is unacceptable, especially in a restaurant that promotes sustainability and customer care. I'm usually a generous reviewer, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. If you value respectful service and safe food practices, stay away from this location at all costs. read more

Food is always good. service is always good. And ambiance was comfortable and clean.

Mirna and all staff are always providing amazing customer and quick service! Love it!

I come here at least once a week. The service is great and the food is yummy. I've been to many Cava franchises in this Metro area, and this is one of the best. read more

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The place was clean, welcoming, and well kept, which I really appreciated. Arlin provided amazing service she was patient, kind, and prepared my bowl with such care and a genuine smile. Her warm attitude made my visit even better. Thank you, Arlin, for making my meal enjoyable! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I'm surprised at these higher reviews. I've been to many different CAVA locations before, but this is the far worst due to missing parts of my order. I came here for my lunch break today and even ordered online, (and the sticker on my bowl had everything printed out that I had chosen). not sure if they don't check the orders online, but my order came out wrong. When I went to eat the bowl, it was missing a lot of things: lentils, cabbage (that I asked for double for both) egg plant dip, tzatziki.... The list goes on. I'm super disappointed in this location and it feels like a waste that I spent money here today initially excited to eat my custom bowl, only to have an incomplete order with missing items. read more

Excellent service. Food is delish. Ambiance is welcoming. Manuel and the other employees were spot on. Highly recommended.

Time in, and time out this location continues out do themselves, not with the food. Needless to say, but with exceptional, and welcoming service by Raquel and the rest of the team. The food brings me in, the staff make me stay. This is the role model store, of all that i've ever been to. Thank you and Keep up the work! read more

CAVA has become part of my Friday dinner routine. Order turnaround is always quick whether online or in-person. The food is prepared very well and is consistent in flavor. I always look forward to my next visit. read more

Cava is a staple carryout location for me, not only because of the food but also because of the exceptional service (which is a big deal to me). Even if there's a line, it moves quickly, and even if I'm feeling a little impatient after 'waiting,' I'm always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. From my most recent visit, I'd like to highlight Zulema's friendly demeanor and her generous gesture towards me. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and I really appreciate that it stays warm and the temperature is just right when I get to my destination. The menu offers a wide variety of options without feeling overwhelming, so there's truly something for everyone. No need to ask for extra or double meat like at other places--Cava gets it right the first time. Although I don't visit as often as I'd like, I recognized Chris, the cash register attendant. Even though he serves hundreds of people during his shift, he remembered me and greeted me with the same friendly warmth, which didn't go unnoticed. I really value my experience at Cava. Please don't ever go away! read more

Excellent food! I customized a Greek salad with chicken, it was delicious. The falafel is crispy and flavorful and the pita chips are amazing and addictive! read more

Been meaning to visit CAVA for some time - several of my friends really like the place. Finally stopped in with friends to eat dinner one evening - before catching a film down the street at Regal. I opted for a custom bowl of greens and veggies - and the spicy lamb meatballs. The whole thing was rather tasty - I just wish one got more than four small meatballs by default. I suppose next time I will have to request a double order on the meatballs. It reminds me of a Chipotle or Sweet Green - with the "assemble your own" bowl approach to food. I will be back! #CAVA read more

I ordered through the app as I have done several time before. I was charged the full amount, had proof of the transaction date, time, stamped, had the alert in the app and proof order was received. I had a receipt in the app but did not receive an emailed copy with number etc. Not sure why. Logging into my account however it did show a receipt, but manager would not look at it, argued with me at the pickup counter in front of other customers that there was no date, when I pointed out the date and time stamp still refused to complete my order. Staff and Manager completely dismissive and not helpful. I asked for customer support contact and was told very passive aggressively "look it up on the website, have a nice day". Now I'm out $70 and did not receive dinner for my kids. Needless to say we will NOT be returning and reported to the BBB. I expect a refund for the food you did not render. read more

I went to Cava today and encountered the best customer service by Freddy! He gave me several dressings to try (after already having a favorite) and they were all simple put, amazing! My bowl was delicious as always as well as the fresh pita slice. Thank you for the nourishing lunch and always making my visit there a whole food culinary experience! read more

I just ordered from Cava, and they won't call me back or answer the phone. A manager told me to call back to add rice on my pita because they didn't have an option to do so. So, after I placed my order, I called 7 times and no answer. I feel that I should receive at least a call back, but I still haven't so make sure before the order is placed that everything you want is on there and make sure if you want rice on your pita to tell them before your order because they will not call you back. read more

We had Cava for dinner last night. My son asked for steak and ended up with lamb, At 4 am this morning he ended up with food poisoning and is still sick. He has not been sick prior to this. We called in to let them know the situation. The manager was rude and chose not to listen that my son was sick from one of their meals. She told us how perfect everything is and that it couldn't happen there. To get a refund she asked for a Dr. notes that he had food poisoning. We have enjoyed Cava in the past but with this experience I will no longer be going to this location. It was not so much about the refund as it was about that fact someone in my family got sick. read more

This place has the nicest staff! I come here at least twice a week for lunch and the ladies who work here are always so nice and welcoming. They remember me and sometimes even give me a bowl for free. It's amazing when a place not only has great food, but incredible service. Definitely recommend coming here! read more

I LOVE CAVA! I like mediterranean food so I'm glad these started popping up as a delicious fast casual option. The ingredients always taste fresh and healthy, and I especially love the brightness and crunch of the pickled onions. If you're trying for the first time, I recommend getting a grain bowl first and working up to greens on later visits. My sister didn't like it her first time, so your enjoyment might depend on getting the right mix. My order: grain bowl base + chicken + tomato/cucumber, tomato/onion, extra pickled onions, quinoa, pita chips + tzaziki, hummus, and eggplant sauce + lemon herb tahini dressing. Enjoy! read more
