First time trying Cava at this location, overall it's good! Plenty of options to choose from for both protein and vegetables, and the free pita is a nice touch. I always opt for the greens+grains bowl and the quality of the food is consistently fresh. Service is extremely quick too for both in store orders and pickup which is great for those who want a quick pickup (like myself) after a long day. This location specifically is pretty clean from my experience and there is ample seating both indoor and outdoor which is nice. While all the protein options are good, highly recommend the chicken or falafel! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Mission, Kansas

I've been going to Cava for close to a decade -- starting with quick lunches when I worked near Union Square in NYC. In KC, this is my most frequented location. I go for casual lunches and dinners when I want something yummy, healthy(ish) and fast. You can dine in, take out or pick up a mobile pre-order through the drive through. It's a Mediterranean inspired make your own bowl/pita situation. I almost always get a grains/greens bowl with a free pita. You choose your grains (I opt for lentils), greens (I like super greens) and build your bowl from there. Don't forget your free side pita! I usually get Lamb, Steak or Falafel as my protein, mix the dips and pile on the toppings. My dressing is usually yogurt dill on the side. I like this location because the staff is friendly and when they've been out of ingredients, they're quick to make the situation right. It's not super cheap, but it's good quality that will fill you up! There's plenty of seating inside (I've only been once where every seat was filled) and also a patio outside for sunny days. I hope to see more of these, especially on the Missouri side! read more

SO GOOD! My first time trying CAVA. I got a bowl with grains and greens, sweet potatoes and chicken, and lots of yummy toppings. It was delicious. My absolute only complaint is that they could fill up the bowls more. read more

I tried out this restaurant for the first time. Before I went in I asked AI whether they had any gluten-free food and it said that it did. So I went in and when I first walked in it was a little confusing on how to order. The cashier is standing almost immediately there past the drinks, and so I accidentally walked up to her. Then I realized that I needed to walk through the dining area all the way around and get in line at the opposite end. The server who helped me was nice and I had Arugula on the bottom of the bowl and then had the saffron basmati rice on top of that. I chose their grilled chicken as the protein and then a variety of vegetables and then I chose a yogurt, dill sauce and a ginger sauce. Really most things were gluten-free besides pita or these dried pita strips that can be added on top. So I was pleased about that and the food looked fresh. I don't think their bowl size is very big, but it was very good. I saw another guy eating an enormous looking wrap so I don't know if that was normal or he added more ingredients? I found a two seat table against the wall and their bowls and utensils were compostable. It seemed. I did not get any drink because I brought my own large water bottle in because I don't like leaving it in the car in the heat. The service was pleasant from the people who served me. Their bathroom needed to be tidied up, and the trash was overflowing when I went to throw my container away. But surely after that, a guy started emptying the trash. I would go back again because of their gluten-free selections and it was good, but I wish the bowl was just a little bit bigger. read more

I feel like you can never go wrong with a CAVA. I absolutely love how you can customize your meal and the variety of fresh options that they provide. This CAVA was an absolute hit. Online ordering was simple and the drive-thru to pick up was a breeze. read more

CAVA - Greek salad bowl with falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Mission, Kansas

I LOVE CAVA! The food is DELICIOUS! I have been to this location a few times and their ambiance is so friendly! It's easy to stay and chat with my friends for an hour or so until I'm ready to leave. One note is that depending on the time you go they get a little stingy with the protein serving amounts. Sometimes it's worth it when they serve a lot. I definitely think the veggies should be free instead of getting charged double for them. I totally recommend their delicious food nevertheless! read more

So, I've been driving past this place and at first, I wasnt sure I'd like it. But I ordered online and gave it a try. The food prices are scary. 15 dollars for a pita? Well, its fine when its freakin' 5 pounds, lol. The brownies are tasty, but not for $2.65. IT'S LITERALLY 2"X2". My wife got a Chicken & Rice bowl. GEEZ, its HUGE...My only issue is that it was missing the side of pita that was supposed to come with it. So, I ordered thru the app and drove through to pick it up. I'm used to checking in at a sign then pulling through, but I guess Cava doesnt do this, which is fine. I pulled through and a gentleman answered the window pretty quickly and asked the name on the order and came back with everything (well, ALMOST everything). I asked if the brownies were there and he was like, is it?...so I looked in and saw them...figured everything else would be there. We were missing the pita, but it's not worth calling about or driving back for. So, will I come back? Sure, I really liked my spicy chicken pita, but I would remove the pickles. They are good, but not my style on my order...But I will come back. $38 for a spicy chicken pita, chicken & rice bowl and 2 brownies. the saving grace is the sheer weight of everything. Ill definitely be back...I just hope that the service is better than I've read about in other reviews. read more

service was efficient and the manager was so nice and gave us falafel samples! the restaurant was clean and a great place for a team meal!

Seriously not sure why this place has so low ratings. i've only been to this place twice and have been craving it ever since! as soon as you walk in, the vibe of the place is comforting, chic, and relaxing. nothing too overwhelming for a restaurant. going through the line, the employee sparked conversation with us about a crochet piece we were carrying. you could tell she was being intentional about the interaction and cared about what we were saying. and the food here is delicious!! if you've never had mediterranean food, this is the place to start. you can customize down to the sauces (like chipotle and subway). overall, the experience was lovely and i will be back read more

The staff were rude and unwilling to answer questions about ingredients. The portions were small, not like what is shown in advertisements. read more

CAVA - Kids Meal - Mediterranean Near Me - Mission, Kansas

This new location served up delicious Mediterranean food at reasonable prices with mediocre service during my dine-in lunch visit. My Greek salad ($11.05) was fully customizable and included generous portions of tasty grilled chicken with fresh veggies in a large 8" x 2" bowl. I liked the good selection of ingredients including many healthy options like supergreens. I also liked the good selection of unique iced teas, juices and fountain drinks. I found the dining area to be clean and new with modern styling, contemporary background music (a notch too loud) and a patio, while the service was accommodating, but not welcoming and somewhat glum. I'm thinking 3.5 stars and rounding up for the delicious, healthy food at a reasonable price. read more

Every time I eat here I get violently ill. Cava allows employees to tamper with customers food. https://x.com/ofz09xaumlpinbc/status/1932428523571929372?s=46&t=Xfnfsh_-DbFm-s7EM1Sg8Q read more

Cava is one of my favorite places to go to. It is always so fresh and delicious and I will forever go there. It's way better than chipotle

Odd setup-customers should to walk to the left between the dining tables to get to the place where they start an order. A sign should explain the flow. If place had been busy, it would probably have been obvious, but we went to the right which was apparently wrong. Ordered a child gyro meal for a late afternoon snack. It came with a protein, one dipping sauce, choice of carrot sticks/pita, beverage. Didn't understand the "dressing" would be dumped all over the gyro sandwich portion, which made the pita bread all soggy. Didn't finish the child meal, happy I didn't spend money on an adult meal. Place is trendy since it's new, but I won't be going again soon. I'd go to the Jersey Mike's next door. read more

I mean come on...what's not to love about a fast fresh restaurant that's full of flavor?! I do not at all understand the dismal 3 Star Rating, I mean for why? Cava is always fast, always delicious and always filling, I mean is the price a tad above "regular" fast food, yes but justifiable. It's a few dollars more than Chipotle and the options are far above and beyond its competitors. Since Cava is a restaurant where you must stand in a line and order your food at a counter, assembly line style. There's bound to be days where Cava is slower, especially probably during peak lunch time but, I've never had an issue around dinner time. Also, I can't tell you what to get because I switch it up every time but, there are a few must orders. I love the options of being able to choose three scoops of different dips however, I agree with the masses the crazy feta is a must! If you aren't spice advertised then definitely spring for the harissa one. If you thought things couldn't get saucier you're wrong because you can also choose other sauces to drizzle, again, I always go with the hot harissa but, there are a ton of options. Between the two chickens, one is an up charge, for once I don't choose the harissa one (I don't think it's worth the up charge) but, if you're willing to splurge then definitely go with the lamb meatballs. As far as toppings go, I always get some of the tangy pickles because they're unique Persian cucumbers pickled to perfection. If you're a feta fanatic like me there's plenty of the salty soft cheese here to add to your bowl or pita. If you're less adventurous, like my mom, they also have a prefix menu of options to easily order from. She always enjoys the Greek Chicken Pita. read more

forgot half our order through doordash! wasn't even the dasher's fault! food is good though.

The customer service at this location is so Mid to say the least. on two occasions, each time is worse than the last.. my frustration is even when I put my order in on the app. I get excuse about why it's not ready when I pick it up I could designated time. I'm not one of those people who isn't understanding about the responsibilities of the staff, but on both occasions, there was only 1-2 customers. read more

The food here was outstanding! Alejandro and Austin provided exceptional service--both were friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful. They also both did an excellent job of continually making sure it was a clean environment read more

Absolutely love Cava- but this new location has a lot to learn on customer service and team work. The location in OP has it down to a science. Even while I was eating there I saw 2 people leave in the middle of being in line. So many employees and only one was taking care of people. Not a lot of team work happening. The check out girl looked angry like we were bothering her. Food was okay. I felt like portions were off and dryer than normal. Customer service is everything, unfortunately we will keep going to the Overland Park one. read more

I am from Los Angeles. We have Cava's all over. This is a place I can count on to get good, clean food. Not so in Mission. The first person (greeter and apparent manager) we saw from a distance had his mouth gaping open. We thought to leave but it was freezing and we were so hungry. Upon approach the big guy, was barking at me to decide. He scratches his face with the back of his gloved hand. I switched bowls to which he breathes a loud sigh and slaps his recipe card down, mouth open. Where is this dude's mask? Why didn't he change gloves when he used the back of the hand to wipe his brow. Why didn't I ask him to. I feared more wrath. He barked the rest of the items on his list at me. My friend, standing behind me gets a totally different response, well wishes for a Happy New Year - I thought, so what, it was obvious character change. Still with the mouth wide open over bowls. He scratches the side of his face. Thank goodness he had tongs. We left after a few bites. This is disgusting and we feel Cava would want to know about it. This was my friend's first visit and his last. Please put him in a food safety class or something! While we were seated he calls 2 employees over and begins lecturing them in a loud voice. Using 'I statements' like, ' I WORK' as if they don't. I felt sorry for the 2 employees, as being scolded in public is straight up harassment. read more

They didn't cook their chicken all the way....and got food poisoning. Effin pist north Liberty!!!

Get smaller bowls, or fill the ones you have. Rice and lettuce are cheap. The people are nice enough, but the food is mediocre. Doubt we will go back. read more

Never going back. Watched a food preparer wipe his brow while wearing his gloves. He continued to work with food without changing his gloves. Disgusting! This is fundamental, basic food work training! A health inspector would have locked the front door. read more
