Given the amount of customers on a Wednesday night, I guess Cava is back in. I figure this is no surprise given the recent trends around protein and fiber consumption, but I'll be honest, after the whole "death to the slop bowl" era it surprised me. Whether it's trendy or not, I'm happy to say that after 2 years away, I can now revisit Cava with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective. Most elements of this shop have remained the same over the years. Fast casual customizable product. Simple straightforward options with a Mediterranean twist. Fountain drinks with a few worth while additions. They are however mixing things up with glazed salmon, seasoned pita chips and something strawberry sesame for the summer. I won't detail the ordering process because if you've been to any restaurant of this type, you've been to them all, but I will say that even though there were a few hiccups in my order (the crew was replacing meats, but did not replace the salmon leaving me with older salmon, and my greens ended up on top leaving a pool of sauce at the bottom of my bowl after confusion around limited power greens), they're still worth the revisit. They were slammed after all and even with the hiccups I enjoyed my bowl and appreciate the ingredient transparency. Happy healthy eating out! read more

Cava , as I knew it was Mediterranean inspired bowls and wraps , but I recently had a friend brag about their house made fresh juices. Not from real fruit, but a blend of different flavors . Today, I got a chance yo try it. Made a quick stop to get some juice to fight the 90F outside and the long drive. Got myself a to-go orange aleppo- orange juice with aleppo style pepper. So the taste I chose was tangy but spicy- would keep me alert and awake ... and it did , with the added advantage of how refreshing it felt. Service was pretty quick. And Ambience quite neat. I would like to try their other flavors too at some point..... read more

Its been a minute since I had last been to CAVA so I wanted to stop in and see what's new. This location has a nice spacey seating area and lots of seating for small or larger groups. I decided to try the steak harissa bowl and was not disappointed in my choice. All the ingredients were very fresh, the steak was tender and the hot harissa vinaigrette was the perfect acidic kick the dish needed. I also really enjoyed the agua frescas! The mint cucumber and Aleppo tangerine were so delicious! read more

Really cava? I get it times are hard but for a $15 bowl I expected more than half a tablespoon of hummus. Bowls in general are much smaller than they used to be. What a rip off. read more

First time at this location but second Cava visit. I loved the first time so much I had to have my son try it! I ventured out and created my own bowl this time, with half chicken half roasted vegetables. The roasted vegetables were chef's kiss amazing! Chicken, like last time, was fantastic. My son got the steak but tried my bowl and said he would go for chicken next time as the steak is pretty well done and doesn't really take in the bowl's flavors. I also discovered Maine Root's Blueberry soda this time and dang it I'm trying to cut the soda consumption but it was probably my favorite soda I've ever had. read more

I didnt know i had a Cava near my home.i have to resist the urge to go there every week. Staff isnt overly welcoming but they aren't rude either. Food is always fresh and flavorful. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Every time I come here the dining tables and floor is always very clean. read more

The girl making my bowl didn't even acknowledge or speak to anybody in line. If she's going to be on the front line, have a little customer friendliness. For $14 this bowl is really skimpy. We've been coming to this location for years now and it just keeps getting less and less for the same amount of money. They did flood it in sauce though..... i guess they're used to more food in the bowl to cover than what's there now. I did notice that there's a new bowl place a couple doors down. I guess I'll have to try that out and see if it's good and priced better. read more

Amazing service at CAVA! Amaya (or Maya) I believe her name is, was very attentive, friendly, and made the experience great. Outstanding customer service! It's my first time trying at as well so thank you Amaya read more

CAVA has quickly become one of my go-to places. The food is fresh, flavorful, and you can mix and match so many options to build the perfect bowl. I love that everything tastes light but still filling -- the proteins are seasoned well, and the toppings always feel super fresh. The staff here is friendly and keeps things moving even when it's busy, which I really appreciate. The place is clean and has a nice, modern vibe, so it's easy to sit down and enjoy your meal. If you're looking for something quick, healthy, and delicious, CAVA is definitely worth checking out. read more

Great alternative to fast food. Not quite fast food prices but healthier Mediterranean diet. Pita wraps and bowls with steak, lamb or chicken as well as various sauces and veggies. We did not have this place where we came from. Hard to find a place that everyone likes in my family and this is one of them. Ok, we can't eat here every time but it is definitely in our easy-family-meal rotation. It's December and they have braised lamb. Not sure whether or not it is temporary. But it is very tender and juicy. Staff is also very friendly. read more

Cava is my go-to for fresh, healthy, and flavorful bowls. The ingredients are always crisp, the portions are generous, and the staff is friendly. Crazy Feta is a must! Fast, tasty, and consistently great. read more

I just came to say that this was the best roasted sweet potatoes Ive ever had. It was still sweet without tons of sugar added on top if it, like naturally sweet. It wasn't too roasted or dry, literally perfect. I had it inside of my build your bowl. I love the variety they offer. I got the baby spinach, with saffron rice, sweet heat chicken, egg plant, and a variety of toppings with 3 dips & 2 dressings. The bowl is very fulfilling with plenty to save for later. The staff in the food line were nice. Craig was very friendly and pleasant to talk with when explaining the toppings. They had plenty of indoor seating and a nice patio option. This is a really nice & quick healthy meal with plenty of lemonade options. read more

I was blessed with the opportunity of my first CAVA visit and it did not disappoint. The flavors were incredibly fresh and delicious all throughout the bowl (you know how with certain "bowl" places, the flavor diminishes?!?) definitely not the case with CAVA. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal as the photo depicts. read more

Excellent Cava, excellent employees. Yummy. Clean. No notes. Go to this one perchance.

First time trying Cava and I couldn't be more pleased!! If you're familiar with the business flow of Chipotle, Cava won't be hard to navigate at all!! I got the grains and salad bowl and started building to my heart/tummy desires. You can also order their "pre-made" which are already thought up for you, then personalize it from there. By the time you finish the customized bowl, be fair warned you probably built a $20 bowl lol. The garlic and tahini sauce were both awesome, can't wait to go back. read more

I kid u not these mfs at this location are more stingy with the protein than chipotle. They gave me like 3 lil nuggets of chicken. but i love cava so ill still keep going. read more

HOLY COW!!!!! Visiting the grand baby again and my daughter asked what I wanted for dinner. I said it's too hot I just want a salad. Well..... this was no ordinary salad. We ordered door dash and did the build your own salad. I can honestly say I do not like hummus but I loved the spicy falafel. I ate my entire salad!!! I didn't even put my dressing on it because it was perfect just how it was!! I would give it 10 stars if I could! We will definitely be back!!! read more

It was my first time to CAVA and food was good but since it's precooked and warmed it's not going to be a 5 in my book. Good combination of flavors and fresh options and I would go back read more

Thank you Cava for being in Houston. I love love love this place because I love FLAVOR. LOL. You really can't mess up a combination of deliciousness and the service is always on point. Everyone is so helpful. The locations are all super casual. Great for dinning in quickly on your break or to-go. I'll be back soon! read more

Cava is so good! We have been here a bunch of times and it's super consistent. We have even catered from cover before not the specific location but every location I've been to is the same quality in the same taste and they're all great. read more

Came here super bowl Sunday evening. Place is pretty spacious with lots of seating options. They offer for order pick up which seemed to go faster than through the line. I order the Harissa Avocado Bowl. Upon reading the description it said "harissa honey chicken", I don't remember seeing anything about spicy, maybe I missed it. But it was way too spicy for me to enjoy, and I didn't even eat it with the sauce. The worker assembled my bowl rather sloppy and didn't put very much rice so couldn't balance out the flavor. I spent $16 on that bowl and don't think it was worth it at all. read more

Honestly just disappointed. Usually a huge fan of Cava but the service at this location is inferior to any of the several other locations I have visited. The man running the register appeared to be rolling on some sort of hallucinogen. I reiterated that I wanted my sauce on the side and they just threw it all in my bowl. Makes sense why this locations sales appear to be down. Hope they are able to make a change. -Roger read more

This Cava replaced a Zoe's that had been in this location for years. Bottom line -- this was an upgrade. We liked Zoe's, but Cava is a much more focused experience, in a positive way. Food quality was excellent, and while the prices aren't low (for families, this could be expensive -- this location didn't show a kids meal on the menu, though their website does), it's a reasonable value given the food. Harissa Avocado Bowl and Balsamic Date Chicken bowls were both excellent. Complementary pita bread was fine, but a little boring (like my tortillas, I'd rather see some unevenness and more browning) -- at some point I'll try a pita and see how it fares on a larger scale. Cava will end up as a regular for us. read more

Love coming to cava there are so many different bowls to mix and match to make some really healthy and tasty meals. Everyone is always welcoming and that definitely makes a difference too. Don't forget to try all the fresh juices they have. Definitely can't wait to have another meal here, and most definitely will be back this week. read more

What a fun place for fast healthy food! The hummus was silky smooth and the staff were very kind.

Craig aka cava Craig is my favorite person in the entire world he has this aura about him that brightens my day I ALWAYS see him in there the years I have been going to this location working so hard and his smile brings me so much joy CRAIG IS MY IDOL and I want him to have all the joy in the world. Also the food is so good I actually go insane for it and dream about it and the kids meal is actually the best deal in the world read more

We had the greens and grains bowl with chicken. The fiery broccoli was tasty. Everything was fresh and delicious. We also ordered the kids pita which I think can be an adult portion. read more

Since Mediterranean food is one of my favorites Cava is always a go to for healthy salads. I love the different options we can choice from as well as a warm salad. Service is always top notice, and the staff are always willing to help or assist when I have questions. I honestly prefer them over Sweetgreen. read more

This was our first time trying CAVA and we were definitely not disappointed! As soon as we walked in we were friendly greeted and the staff was so excited to hear that it was our first visit. They were extremely friendly and helpful. I asked for recommendations and ordered their favorites. The pita chips, juice/lemonade, and bowls were all DELICIOUS! One of the staff members suggested to do half lemonade and half strawberry...JUST DO IT!! Service- 12/10 Food- 10/10 This will be my new go to spot! read more

Great to find a place offering Vegan options. Great, healthy selections. Great Ginger beer!

My daughter granddaughter and I love Cava. We've gone to the one in The Vintage and the one by 290 and both places offered fresh food and their rice was fluffy and well made. Their seasonings are authentic Mediterranean style and there's so much to choose from you can get so many combinations you won't ever get bored. My sincere review is try it you won't regret it. read more

So good! I love to get the bowls or the lamb meatball pita. Fresh ingredients and Healthy lunch or dinner.

The employees were stingy with the food. They barely put any rice & toppings. They also didn't put my complimentary pita in the bag.

Service is excellent, very quick. Ingredience are fresh. Food is tasty. Prices are fair. Excelent choice for quick, healthy meal. I loved that my child could build his own pita bowl, so we could avoid sauces and put meat and rice and cucumbers separately. read more

Best falafel wrap ever!!! Get two you will thank me later. This is like a Mediterranean chipotle and it's better in my opinion. I would eat here all the time if I lived closer. read more
