    I understand that restaurants get busy, especially during a rush, but what I saw here went well beyond a little mess from a busy shift. The food-preparation and serving areas were filthy. There was food scattered across counters and work surfaces, ingredients spilled around open food containers, dirty cutting boards and utensils, sauce and food debris throughout the line, and generally very poor housekeeping in areas where food was actively being prepared and served. I've attached photos because they tell the story better than I can. What concerned me most was that this wasn't hidden somewhere in the back. This was the customer-facing food preparation area, in plain sight. At some point management has to look at the condition of the restaurant and stop service long enough to clean and sanitize the workspace. It certainly raises food-safety concerns, and after seeing the condition of the preparation area, I did not feel comfortable eating here. CAVA management should take a serious look at this location. A restaurant serving fresh food should look fresh and sanitary. This was neither.

    This is my second visit to this Cava this week. Service was fine. However, during both visits, there seemed to be missing items that I would typically want in my bowl. A bit disappointing to not have a full selection. The missing pieces in my bowl really make a difference and it just isnt as good as it could be.

    This is definitely my favorite location of Cava. Although this is nowhere near my house in northeast DTC, it's close to work. And as far as the weather permits, I walk here as it's about 10 min from it. The young man upfront was very generous about some add ons. I picked at least several of what appeared to be not included in the bowl's description but when he rang me up, it was the basic price with no additional charges so after tax, it was $12 with some change. In this day and age where the prices in general are so inflated, $12 for a bowl like this size does not happen at all. And the two sauces that came with the bowl were awesome especially the white one (it might be the garlic sauce.) This bowl is filling and yet so airy to the point where it doesn't give you that "Oh my gosh, I ate too much" feeling even if you finish it The only thing I disliked about this bowl were the black lentils (add-on.) They were undercooked so they were crunchy. However, I was able to ignore this fact and concentrated on the overall quality of it. This location is also pretty clean. Cava always seems to promote "clean eating" I shall return to this location of Cava in the next week or two.

    Thank you to ,Larissa Mary nick sally for excellent customer service food was fresh they were very kinda hearted glad to see there is still good people in the world

    HEALTH DEPARTMENT!!!! This place is so disgustingly filthy. From the food line to the dining room floor. The food line is a mess, food all thrown all over dried and the counter. The dinning tables filth and sticky. The floor is so sticky, your shoes, literally stick to the floor. The ice machine covered in mold. Someone, please call the health department.!!

    Waiting for over 20 minters not one person in line was helped. 7 people left, and the workers are just slowly doing online orders in the back! Not one worker has talked to us to tell us how long it will be or anything!

    They literally would not take my cash. They only want debit card transactions so I literally can't spend money since I only use cash.

    This place is really good! I came in the first time about three months ago for a late-ish lunch…read moremid-week (close to 2 PM) and since it was past 'lunch crowd time', it was very quiet in there. I ordered the Fattoush Salad (made with lettuce, parsley, tomato, onion, cucumber, radish, red pepper and served with their signature dressing) and added chicken shawarma. I couldn't believe the incredible flavor of both the salad and the shawarma. I wanted something reasonably light for lunch that day, and while light-ish, it was very filling! Absolutely loved it! The second time I came in for lunch a month or so later was around 12:30 (again mid-week) and then place was MOBBED! There are a lot of businesses nearby and there is also construction in the area and there are very few options for lunch. The line to order was pretty long and all of the tables were occupied (unfortunately some with people just waiting for takeout orders). Since it didn't look like I would have a place to sit and eat and couldn't do takeout, I ended up leaving. Came back for the third time a few weeks ago (again mid-week) 1:30-ish and brought The Hubs. There was plenty of seating then and no line of people waiting to order. I ordered the Fattoush Salad with chicken shawarma again. And again - it was fabulous! The Hubs ordered the Kafta Entree (all plates are served with rice, cabbage salad, hummus, fries and pita bread). I had a little taste of his lunch and everything was really yummy! This restaurant is small (like 10-12 tables off varying sizes) and strikes me as more of a lunch spot for dining in, and take-out for dinner. It's very clean which says alot. It's next to a gas station and its mini-mart (the restaurant and mini-mart don't open into each other, thankfully, but just share a wall). BTW, this isn't fast food so keep that in mind if you're in a hurry (or maybe call ahead). I've made a mental note to put Mezza into my dining-out lunch rotation - as long as I go after 1:30 or so. Just a thought - I don't know if lunch time is crazy every day, my comment about my second visit was based on being there just once before 1:30. IF it's like that every day, I'm wondering if more seating could be created by making something like a 'community table' in the middle of the room. I think there were three 4-tops in the middle. Maybe pushing them together at lunch time plus adding another table could create more seating and maybe reduce having one person take up a 4-top.

    Wow - just wow. Accidented into this place (yes I made up a…read moreword) - but extremely happy we did. Stopped in after the Summit game where Heaps debuted - its adjacent to a gas station but dont let that fool you - EXCELLENT food. The guy at the counter was great - made it clear that everything is made fresh from scratch and it definitely tasted like it. Had some kind of fresh made desert - reminded me of a sweet corn cake with coconut and it really worked. He said he made it fresh. The gyro plate was plenty for two to split for lunch. Wife and I split a gyro plate - fries, rice, hummus, salad, gyro and pita - the gyro meat was perfect - great flavor, tender, and moist. I could have eaten an entire plate of just the rice - perfectly made. Just wish there was one closer to where I live.

It's not a large restaurant, but comfortable. Our appetizer featured a large portion of hummus and very soft pita bread. I would have ordered saganaki for the table, which the others had never had, but was disappointed it wouldn't be flamed tableside. The server explained that the smaller size of the restaurant made it risky, which is understandable. My entree plate offered very tender and flavorful lamb-beef gyro, some of the best I've had. It was accompanied by rice, pita bread, and a good lettuce Greek salad. My husband had a pasta that he also enjoyed. Everyone else in the house group was also pleased with their meals, and I noticed that the gyro sandwich was quite large. For dessert, my husband had seasonal apple crumb cobbler, and I had baklava cheesecake. The cheesecake was good and a large piece, but I think the baklava topping suffered a bit from the moisture of the cheesecake and berry topping--baklava should be crisp and flaky. Good, but I would try to something different if I returned. We were traveling, so a return is unlikely, but I would consider it if I were back in the area. Overall, a good experience.
