Delicious food-I determined I like it more than it's competitor. The food is fresh and well seasoned. Restaurant clean, staff friendly, and I have no complaints. This is my third visit since discovering this spot. I'm just happy I don't live too close to it cause I would be in trouble. The staff would know my name. lol read more

You can not go wrong with the food here. Easy, fast and affordable. It is a fast casual spot, so i am not expecting great service, just the bare minimum. But whenever i am in a crunch, i love to stop here and get a quick and healthy bite on the go! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

After church we had a hankering for something on the lighter side, so we decided to order cava online and bring it home. I looked at the menu and opted to get the garlicky chicken schwarma bowl, but I wanted to make some modifications. I ordered the bowl with chicken schwarma, their balsamic date vinaigrette and a side of their tahini Caesar, half brown rice and half romaine, tomato and cucumber salad, cucumbers, feta. The price seemed pretty reasonable, and I could pick up my order in 15 min, which was great. I picked up my order and was on our way: when I got home, I dug in. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The schwarma was delicious, the dressings were great, and the tomato and cucumber salad was delicious. I'd def get this again! read more

Great counter service food at great price!! - assembly line counter service format similar to Chipotle's or those other burrito places, but with a Mediterranean bent. - choice of meat in a soft fluffy pita, salad or over rice. The menu has several Pita and bowl options and a make-your-own where you pick the base meat and sauces. The vegetable topping, so are pretty much unlimited.So you can have everything on it if you so desire. The staff was super friendly and efficient to provided suggestions The place was clean and well maintained. In addition to normal sodas, they had a 1/2 a dozen varieties of mint beverages, teas and other Mediterranean fruity flavors. Absolutely Great meal really price and worth being on heavier rotation, or take out for a quick bite. read more

I eat at Cava so often I'm going to buy shares now.... They serve fresh Mediterranean bowls and wraps, choose the base, rice, lentils and greens you can have up two, choose the meat and add the toppings. I ordered half chicken and half Spicy lamb meatballs(half portion is 2 meatballs) added the garlic dressing and for an upcharge added Avocado. You cannot go there and not try the fresh juices and the Pita chips...yummy! The service is always good, but if you go around lunchtime be prepared to wait a while, lots of tables and chairs so don't worry you can eat in or take out, usually pretty clean. read more

I love Cava. I always thought chipotle was the king of bowls but Cava is just a different level of eating. Everything is fresh and the environment is peaceful. I don't think anyone has better falafel and I could eat them like cookies. This establishment always has friendly servers who don't mind recommending options and quickly make your food. Overall, you just got to try it and be prepared for the burst of flavors. read more

So good! One of my favorite things to eat is a "bowl." I love the variety to create a bowl here. Not only did I make a bowl but it was delicious and I was eating healthy. I appreciated that they offered bowls with lettuce as the base instead of rice although rice is an option. I can't wait to taste more! read more

I ordered the Chicken shawarma pita. Everything on it and added avocado, but placed Sauce on the side. This was my favorite. Delicious and tasteful. Also ordered the shredded lab bowl tasty but the portion that was given was not very much. The shredded lamb was tasty but could have been a bit more meat in the bowl. This was my first visit and I felt rushed, there was no one behind me. It's like you order the same concept as subway. I'll be going back to see if it changes. read more

I tried this for the very first time and I so wish we had one where I live! It reminds me of a Chipotle, but for Mediterranean food! Everything was super fresh and you can order a curated bowl or make one yourself - I made my own so it only had a the things I like. If you've never been, I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Great customer service fast and friendly location! KD was helpful and James was super fast with service.

The Chipotle of Mediterranean food! Great flavors and no two bites are the same. Their hot harissa chicken is one of my favorites!

I had never been to Cava but I had heard good things so we went for lunch. We ordered online and I went with the Spicy Lamb Meatball Pita. I will say I wish it was more Gyro meat then meatballs but I had never had it and I love lamb so I went for it. When customizing the pita I really loved all the options that were available. I also saw I could add Harissa Honey Chicken for only $1.25 more and with a name like that I had to try it. They also had so many dips and sauces you can have a field day customizing everything. We came to pick up our food and did have to wait a little but not too long. Once home I got into my Pita and wow some much flavor. I also really enjoyed how soft the pita was. The meatballs were good too but there were not that many in there so I'm glad I add the Harissa Honey Chicken. I will say about the pita that is is very messy so make sure to grab some napkins. All and all Cava was much better then I thought it would have been and I for sure will be going back. read more

While waiting for my son at his dental appointment, I wandered next door for a snack. I had never been to Cava, and am typically not a fan of assembly line places. I usually feel rushed and pressured to decide. So instead of taking the chances of social anxiety I opted to get a bowl "as is". The Harissa Avocado caught my eye. It's described as an colorful, vibrant, and bold bowl that gives you a double dose of spiciness with harissa honey chicken and hot harissa vinaigrette, feta, hummus, fire-roasted corn, avocado, pickled onions, Persian cucumber, basmati rice, and SuperGreens. I added pita chips, a refreshing lemonade to cool off, and a chocolate fudge brownie! It was so filling, I had to bring my leftovers home to eat later. It must be a good sign bc I find myself craving that bowl of spicy goodness. It's been a couple weeks, I don't know why I'm torturing myself. The staff was polite and the place was very clean and quiet. I could probably get some work done in there while lunching. I will make it a point to go back this week! read more

Mediterranean food has been one of my favorite foods out there. And CAVA is becoming to be my go-to place for such food, for the fact that they make ordering so simplistic. My favorite here is the "build your own bowl". I picked out from wide selections of greens, beans and rice as my base, then I pick my Protein(s) next, then I load that ish up with as much veggies and healthy stuff allowed by CAVA Law. Badabing-badaboom. You are done. It has been a great option for me as a grab & go food especially on nights when I work 12 hours. One "build your own bowl" is enough to feed me as 2-3 meals. SOME FUN FACTS: Compared to a typical American diet, the Mediterranean diet includes fewer meats and carbohydrates, higher amounts of monounsaturated (good) fats, and more plant-based foods like vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. Enough of the 411 and I will spare you from anymore deets. You just have to try it for yourself. Cheers to healthy eats!!! read more

My family and I were looking to have lunch in St. John's Town Center, and Kava caught our eye. When we stepped inside, it was a bit busy, which led my husband to suggest trying another place. But my husband was here before, and liked the place. However, the menu looked appealing--simple, with customizable bowls, which is always a plus for us. I appreciate that they focus on healthier food options, and the modern interior design really stood out. Although we didn't dine here this time, it's definitely on our list to try next time. read more

The three star was a challenge to come up with because I wasn't sure which part did not deserve to Five Star. Customer service is Paramont for me that will make or break a review and that is why the service is definitely not a three. It was very disappointing that the young man who assisted us, and out of respect I will not use. His name was very cold, unfriendly, and really seemed more like I was a bother to him. Moreover, he was very very, and I have to say again very stingy with the servings that he provided. Now onto the food, I will have to say I really did like that lemon chicken! It was robust with flavor and I really liked the fresh ingredients. The food was a 4.5 star would have been five if the portion had been a little bit more for the money I paid. Overall three star is in the middle good food, not good service read more

Did I eat at Cava twice in one day? Yes. Yes, I did. My husband is in the hospital, and I've been existing on takeout. Mostly french fries. My body told me enough is enough and I started looking at other options near the hospital. Cava is on the newer side and I decided a salad bowl with lots of "stuff" sounded fabulous. The store is spotlessly clean and the staff is friendly. So friendly, in fact, that when I said this was my first time and asked for recommendations, the server walked me through each and every item available. So kind. For lunch, I had a bowl with 1/2 greens and 1/2 saffron basmati rice (You can opt for a pita, too). I added hummus and tzatziki (you get to choose 3 out of 6 dips), and then 1/2 falafel and 1/2 roasted veggies from a selection of seven or eight proteins. From there, give me all the toppings: pickled onions, persian cucumbers, feta cheese, kalamata olives, tomato and onion salad... yum. I skipped the dressing and added pita chips, which were soft and chewy, but also crispy. Yum. Everything was fresh and delicious and the portion was huge. For dinner, I took my teen. He opted for a menu item: Harissa Avocado Bowl. The boy loves some spice. It had harissa honey chicken and hot harissa vinaigrette with Crazy Feta, hummus, fire-roasted corn, avocado, pickled onions, Persian cucumber, feta, basmati rice, and SuperGreens. He loved everything but the onions. I had a salad bowl this time, with two kinds of hummus, roasted white sweet potatoes and roasted veg, the same toppings, and an addition of the vegan garlic dressing on the side. We also split another order of pita chips. Can't stop, won't stop. Kiddo LOVED it and we were all happy. read more

I was hesitant, thinking this place was going to feel uppity or not give me a good amount of food for the price, things like that. Let me tell you, I was wrong. Do they have kids manning the kitchen and counter, sure but what restaurant doesn't now. This just means your food may be put together with attitude but damnit if the food isn't good enough to overlook that. The crazy feta is out of this world. The jalapeños are a nice touch. The roasted eggplant is delicious. The hummus is good. Not the best hummus I've had, but pretty good. The pita is fine but let me tell you FRESH pita chips are where it's at. No no, not crunchy pita chips, but crunchy on the outer edges, warm, soft enough to tear, and fluffy on the inside. They have this seasoning on them that elevates the dips... or is perfect by itself. Absolutely amazing. The bowls are amazing as well. Definitely feels like fresh, quality ingredients. Their condiments and dips you can add to your bowl are fantastic. You can really make your meal what you want, or order one of the bowls on the menu (spicy greens bowl is great!) read more

Went inside and ordered for dinner around 5ish and they were pretty busy. It did go quickly they had two friendly knowledgeable ladies taking and filling the orders while two workers were working the window. Ordered the steak and harissa for myself and was fresh and delicious love the sauces you can add on. My wife got the spicy lamb and she enjoyed it very much. Did have to wait on the pita crisps but they were great. read more

They greet you with a smile and have always honored any extra requests that I've asked for. Our family really does love this place. I'd eat it every single day if I could. read more

CAVA - Custom bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We've been there twice this week. Like Chipotle only better with a Mediterranean flare. Several types of rice or black lentils and choice of bowl or pita. Meat is chicken, lamb or other selections. Several different toppings and dips. Beverages are Maine Root or unsweet and sweet iced tea, lemonade, blueberry drink and other flavors. One was cucumber water which I've never seen at a restaurant only at bridal showers. The food is great and so it the service. The pita is served in a huge paper wrap with a twist at the end. My twist came loose and drenched me. I wrapped it the second time to avoid any other escapees. Fortunately I was not in silk! read more

I totally forgot to take a picture. To be fair, there wasn't much exciting to photograph, but I had the Market Spice bowl, and it was delicious! It was spicy, but not overly so. The falafel was especially enjoyable. The best part of the visit was the service. Zack was behind the counter and very polite and helpful. He definitely knew the food and happily answered any questions. He seemed happy to be there, which was refreshing. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but it was clean and everything was well stocked. A nice place to grab a quick lunch for sure. read more

My mother always told me to be sure to eat my colors and Cava truly made that easy and fun! Think plentiful delicious Mediterranean options in a quick counter service setting. We must of come at the perfect time because we were first in line. The menu spells out everything easily. You can make your own creation or opt for a variety of set entrees on greens, bowl, or pita. Both my husband and I were very pleased with our choices. I really enjoyed the date chicken. They have many colorful options for filling your bowl or pita. The kids plates were a delight! Lentils or rice, pita chips and a dip, AND pita with protein and toppings. Everything was delicious. They had fun drink options including a blueberry lemonade. The staff was very friendly and happy to offer suggestions. We will definitely be back soon! read more

A healthier version of Chipotle, with absolutely outstanding bowls and drinks. Would definitely go back.

Always fresh and flavorful. We call this the Greek Chipotle in our house. We love the variety of foods and toppings and the staff has always been very friendly (unlike some Chipotle's) definitely a must try. It's on of our new favorite lunch spots as a family... and my kids are picky eaters. Thanks Cava! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Once again, I didn't manage myself accordingly and found myself absolutely famished after a doctors appointment. I had been meaning to try CAVA for a few months and was pleased to see I was very near this location. I popped in and got the build a bowl. I had the splendid greens as a base. Added the harissa honey chicken, tzatziki, red pepper hummus, roasted corn, cucumbers, olives, and the tomato cucumber mix. The items that really set it off was the date vinaigrette dressing and the pickled onions. I could eat some combination of this again tomorrow. The ingredients are all super fresh, the chicken wasn't dry which is practically a miracle being it was 3:00 in the afternoon and not a peak meal time. The decor is minimal and tidy and all of the staff were super helpful and nice. Haily Dove and the guy with the beard and glasses were exceptional. Definitely stop in and get some nutritious and delicious food! Oh and the seasonal juices are made in house and are a perfect balance to the food. read more

I have been a CAVA lover for a while now but I have never had this level of customer service, truly exceptional! My boyfriend and I came in to order two bowls, the workers greeted us and took us through the line as they do being so nice and kind!

Come support this location as their service and food is delicious as always :)! read more

I had seen this new place take over Zoe's kitchen, I had never been to one before. Walking in it's really similar to Zoes, quick Mediterranean food, ok I like that! We got in line and they were really busy! Like a line of 10 people the whole time we were there, when we got up to the front I wish they could kinda explain what everything was, the workers seemed stressed and just kinda look at you like what do you want!? You tell them what you want in a build your own bowl way, the signs telling you what everything is, are small stickers in the corner on the glass, you walk down the line just like chipotle getting what you want in your bowl. It felt rushed and I hoped I made good choices lol! My initial thoughts were they were kinda skimpy on our bowls, for 2 bowls and 1 drink it was around $30, pricey. But I will say once we started eating the flavors were there! The braised lamb was delicious! Very moist and flavorful! I also got some on the honey chicken and also thought the flavor on it was great! Love the mixing of savory, fresh and tart! By the end I couldn't finish my bowl and was nicely full! Also loved their drink offerings! Craft sodas made with real sugar, house made juices and teas with herbs in them! Just my style! Would return just maybe on a off time, not peak lunchtime. read more

CAVA - Make your own bowl with braised lamb - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We have visited CAVA a few times, and have been happy with their offerings. We tend to make custom bowl meals, and love the flexibility and options. This time I made one with white rice, tzatziki, hummus, and their crazy feta which is outstanding. Added Harissa Chicken and Grilled Chicken, which is a nice combo that gives you a little heat, ripe avocado, mixed tomato and onion, and kalamata olives. Can you say Mediterranean? A little of their Garlic Dressing and you are going to flavor town. There's not much in the way of ambience in the facility, it's kind of industrial with plain concrete floors and basic seating - but you come for the food, which is worth the trip and reasonably priced. read more

The Mediterranean chipotle. Super fresh ingredients and many to choose from. The prices are reasonable. The set up is essentially the same as chipotle- however the line moves much faster. They offer s protein rice- delicious without the guilt. Their sauces are super fresh. Great service. Will be my new quick go to when im in Jacksonville. read more
