Dear Cava, I just want to say... I love you. Seriously. Since going vegetarian, you've been my go-to, my comfort food, my no-stress lunch or dinner that always hits. You keep it fresh. You keep it flavorful. You keep me full and feeling good. You're basically the reason I'm staying strong on this health journey because I don't have to give up taste to eat clean. The bowls? Perfection. Endless joy. I walk in and feel like I'm building a masterpiece every time. Service is decent and the inside reminds me of chipotle when it comes to looks but I don't even care. I'd still come if it were bad service and no seats You're reliable, delicious, and the best part of my week. Thank you for existing and for making it easy to eat well without giving up flavor or fun. Forever yours, A loyal fan

Whenever I'm in Richmond for work we frequently order cava for lunch and it always hits the spot. Ingredients are fresh and tasty.

First time..love it!

I have only been to 4 cava locations and this one is my favorite one. I go there once or twice every week and most times I have gotten great experience. The staff are patient and kind, they answer questions and treat everyone with respect from what I have seen. I highly recommend this location. I see that they make sure the place is clean. Also, we are never in line for too long. I have been trying to watch my calories and I like how I can go on the cava site and see the calories in everything I would like to get. My usual is half and half with romaine lettuce and brown rice, Tzatziki, half n half Harissa Honey Chicken and sweet potato. For toppings, I get fire roasted corn, tomatoes n cucumber, Persian cucumber and feta. Yogurt dill for dressing. I get the free side pita sometimes, also the pita chips and the pita crisps. Simple but good. I like the dietary options especially since my family, we are not big meat eaters and my dad has been a vegan for close to 40 years now. I take him to cava and he loves it, he has no problem with ordering food there like other places. I have had about 4 people try cava and now they tell me they are addicted. Keyshawn is great! He is so kind and he gets us to try new things. He always got a smile on. We also met India a couple of times and she was amazing. It might have been her first day the first time we saw her and she did great. She was polite and kind. I haven't had any issues with staff but I have noticed some are not as friendly as some, different personalities I guess.

Great experience. Stayed at a nearby hotel and stopped in for lunch. We were greeted immediately, and everyone was very friendly. The food was fresh and tasty with more than ample portions. I got something very basic because I don't like rice or beans, it was delicious!

Mixed veggies

I love coming here but I hate how they burn the veggies EVERY TIME. No one wants burnt food.

I love Mediterranean food, and I gather they are trying to Cava niche out for themselves, but this eatery left me underwhelmed. I ordered the Cava bowl, with greens, rice, choice of protein, veggies and sauce. I wasn't thrilled with the falafel, which is typically a fav of mine. They were mushy and lacked flavor. Awful falafel... The chicken was good though, nicely seasoned. The hummus was rather soupy and bland. I piled on the veggies/olives/tzatziki and the toppings pretty much saved the meal. Frankly, I prefer another similar style Mediterranean chain, but Cava was just "Meh". Casual spot to dine, no décor to speak of, plain, simple seating, looked like a cafeteria. The servers were friendly and the portions were hearty, but I doubt I'll return any time soon. Such a "pita", because I had high hopes for this place.

See all
