My son is visiting this area and has been at Cava 3 times so far. I joined him today at the Oyster Point Tech Center location. There was no line today which I'm told is unusual. It is an add on type eatery where you choose a base ie greens, rice, etc and then add on meats, veggies, sauces for a Mediterranean bowl experience. I got a child's size which was a very generous portion. The drink offerings are diverse and tasty. Seat yourself in a sunny, industrial setting. Take out is probably brisk. Price point is reasonable, and food is tasty. Nothing to improve or recommend! It's very good Mediterranean fast food! read more

Waited 20 minutes past the expected pickup time for my order. When I asked the young woman at the register how much longer I could expect it to take, she rudely said, "I don't know, we're backed up." About 8 minutes later, she grabbed my order and said to her coworker, "And you know what? That's why you come in to order." When she handed me my food, she didn't apologize for the wait. On top of the delay and attitude, the portions were really small for the price. Overall, not a great experience. (October 4 at 3:30 p.m.) read more

**Disappointing customer service** Our order at this CAVA location in Newport News was missing sauces and the extra pita chips we paid $2.65 for. The order was also poorly bagged. When we brought this to the employee's attention, he became argumentative and refused to provide the pita chips, despite my email confirmation clearly showing they had been paid for. He repeatedly interrupted me and suggested I was talking over him instead of simply addressing the issue. He eventually added the missing sauces to the bag, but did so with visible frustration. Mistakes happen, but the way this concern was handled was disappointing and not the level of customer service I expected from CAVA. read more

This may have been the best salad I've had in years. I would encourage anyone to come to this particular restaurant and have a salad. It's so many things you could do with it. The service was good and it's just an open cafeteria style restaurant, but it's quiet and comfortable. There was so many flavors in their salad. I have no complaints. read more

CAVA - A salad that was absolutely delicious - Mediterranean Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

The food is just okay. It's like a Middle Eastern Chipotle with mediocre customer service. Honestly, it was pretty forgettable

I really enjoy Cava. When I first started going to the Tech Center location, the atmosphere was really nice, clean and welcoming. Lately, this has not been the case. I've witnessed flies around the food area, there was a dead water bug on the floor today when I visited. Customer Service from the senior staff is always with a welcoming smile, but the new hires must be retrained. I order my food ahead of time, so I can pick up and be in and out, not pick up an attitude on my visit. I will either order from another location or just take a break from ordering Cava all together. - Food is great. Customer Service needs work. ** BTW... I NEVER write a review for anything, but today really did it for me! ** read more

Love Mediterranean food, the concept and most of the food is good, going down hill a bit compared when they first opened, I'm sure they are low staffed but they need to keep up with the cleanness of the tables and drink areas. Portion sizes can vary depending on WHO is serving you. Love the variety of toppings! read more

The food is pretty consistent which is why I come here but after the attitude I experienced from the staff, I will never return. I was spoken to disrespectfully when I did nothing wrong. The staff is never friendly or approachable but this was taken to another level. read more

I can't believe I've neglected to write a review for this location. I love CAVA. It's so good. I brought my friend here the other day to try it out. She was only here for a weekend and wanted to come back again the day after we got a bowl. Safe to say she's a believer. The food tastes fresh. The sauces are on point and the service was pretty great! The employees were pretty friendly. The only thing about this location is that I always have to come back and ask for a pita. The location in VA beach does ask, they just give you the pita slice with your bowl. I got the harissa avocado bowl and it hits every time. Just spicy enough and the flavors are chefs kiss! The drinks are good, too. I like to mix em and I'm never disappointed. This location is solid, thankfully. Because I love it so much! read more

Always fresh with a Mediterranean flare - I built a healthy~ish bowl using greens and lentils as a base, lamb meatballs as protein (main reason for the "ish") and full variety of veggies, topped with skhug sauce - A rich, creamy green sauce, with a delightful garlic/cilantro aroma, that packs a little heat - and harissa vinaigrette. Yes, I enjoy a little spice! Wife had a pre-configured spicy chicken and avocado wrap. Both excellent, filling and let us feel good about ourselves for trying to eat healthy! read more

My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty crowded and the line was long but to me, that means there must be something very good about the food to cause people to be willing to wait. They were not wrong. My friend and I each got a build-your-own bowl and the food was very good. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The portions were good too. Service was fine. There wasn't much time to be overly friendly as the workers were focused on serving everyone as quickly as they could. One thing that stood out to me was how well the team worked together. It was poetry in motion. It was almost as if each person was anticipating what the others were about to do. Such great teamwork and coordination of efforts. I was very impressed. The prices were a little higher than I expected, but isn't everything these days? I'll be back, despite the cost. read more

I've been to a different location in Va Beach and swore I'd never come back - but today I tried the Newport News location and it was a completely different vibe. Kecia took care of me and when I tell you that I'm those 3 minutes of my clumsy decision making she made me feel like I was family. Honestly, I don't think I have experienced better customer service. But I know why- good leadership roles downhill... thank you Shake - because everyone there was professional, friendly and gave top service. Happy New Year NN Cava!!!! read more

Shout out to Bailey and D at Cava. Went there 15min before closing and was greeted with a smile. I usually don't like to show up for right before closing but needed some nourishment! I did not feel rushed as I was deciding on what to get. Bailey patiently answered all my questions and even let us sample the steak which we ended up getting. My bowl was delicious! Great customer service and food! read more

I'm still on the fence about this place. For one, I'm still upset Zoe's Kitchen, that use to be here is gone. Zoe's was my go to for lunch. Secondly, my first experience at Cava I got sick to my stomach. Not sure if it was because I hadn't eaten all day or the meatballs in my bowl didn't agree with me, I don't know, but it made me sick. The set up is cafeteria style, were you walk through, place your order and pick it up as you pay before preceding to your table. One of the prep personnel did a nice job explaining options and what was what. The menu options is not plenty, you can either get your mix in a bowl, wrap or salad. There were greens and different rice mixtures, some kind of spicy chicken, meatballs but I didn't see a steak option cause that is what I really wanted. Check out was good, the restaurant was clean and the service was exceptional. Its just the food did not excite my taste buds. Others have given this place high ratings so I suggest you review their reviews, but this just wasn't my cup of tea and thats no fault of the exceptional staff and crew. Happy Yelping. read more

CAVA - One if the protein bowls with Taziki sauce, and some other stuff. - Mediterranean Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

Well I admit I will miss Zoe's, especially their roasted vegetables, but CAVA is a perfectly adequate replacement. I had been to the one in Virginia Beach as well, and the fact that there is now one across the street from my house, that's pretty stellar. I ordered my meal online and it was ready right on time. The Right Rice is a great upgrade from regular rice for $0.55. The grilled chicken was juicy, really good stuff. And the option to add avocado, even if for an upcharge, is certainly welcome. The Shug sauce is really not spicy, like it is at other Mediterranean fast casual joints. If you're looking for heat, maybe get the spicy harissa? My complaints are about the proteins. I don't understand why they can't have steak on the menu though, like Mezeh does. And how are roasted vegetables a protein instead of a topping? Makes no sense. And having some sweetener available to go with the unsweet tea would be helpful. read more

Decided to door dash an order to work and decided on the Harissa Avocado Bowl which had the harissa honey chicken, the avocado and hot harissa vinaigrette. My order arrived pretty quickly and the flavors were out of this world, it really hit the spot without being too heavy. I loved the fact that I was able to customize the bowl too and add things. There were so many options on the menu that I can't wait to try some others. read more

CAVA - Harissa avocado bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

horrible service. I did a pickup order and they all started blaming each other as to why it wasn't ready and that my order was nowhere to be found when I was told it was going to be ready at a certain time. I gave them 5 minutes before going in just in case there were any issue and then they completely ignored me for 10 minutes. Two of the girls were arguing about who deleted the order and when I went up to ask what was going on with the order she told me they never received it. After waiting 20 minutes for my pickup order it's safe to say that just coming in and ordering is faster and easier. An employee gave me my pickup order and said "I put everything you asked for in it" Shouldn't they have to begin with considering that's what I ordered? read more

First time trying this place and it didn't disappoint. Fresh food and very friendly staff. Clean restaurant, will definitely be back.

CAVA... what happened!? I order pick up at least once every two weeks from here and I gotta say, either staff are not paying attention to orders or they're purposefully holding back on toppings and pita bread because my bowls have been getting smaller and prices aren't dropping. So, what's the problem here? I usually get the right+rice bowl or the potato bowl and add a couple of things like pickled onion, or tomato and onion, Persian cucumbers, and olives - but this is the third time I've had only one of those added to my order and it was maybe a matchbox size amount. AND - every time, without fail, I add the "free" pita onto my order on the app, but it never makes it to the bag and I have to go back in and ask for it. What's worse is the size of the free pita is now an absolute joke, it's a 1/2 of the 1/2 a pita once provided, but if you come late at night, you might just get a 1/3 of the 1/2... Bit of an insult, really. I use the app to save me time when I'm on the go and whilst there have been major improvements to the customer interface, it evidently doesn't save me anytime as I always have to go back in and ask for something that was missing from the order (or a few things.) I hate hate hate leaving bad reviews and the food is so delicious here that I feel annoyed that I have to drop my 4 star review to a 1.5 rounded up. Staff are so friendly and kind in here, so I don't get where the misconnect is happening. Please, do better. read more

Pretty good Mediterranean spot definitely lost a star because you're limited on what you can put in your bowl without paying extra I'm used to paying more for premium protein but this place also limits you on your sauce options and topping options The quality was pretty good I do like that they have handcrafted soda pop on tap The atmosphere is also very nice they have a great outdoor seating in the middle of tech center The service was pleasant but felt rushed it was very much choose one choose one choose one hurry up not my favorite but definitely still edible read more

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place for a while. We finally were able to. The first employee was so helpful. She explained everything to us and how to order. It's like a Mediterranean chipotle, that's the best way for me to describe it. The ingredients are so fresh. You can mix and match proteins and veggies/carbs. It's amazing. I would def recommend getting the dressing on the side because mine was drenched in it and I usually don't like too much dressing, so that was totally my fault. read more

Finally! So excited that CAVA finally opened up in Newport News Tech Center where Zoe's formerly was. This CAVA is clean and fresh like all the other locations. The staff is extremely friendly and their servings are generous. Even though it was their first week of opening, the staff kept the line moving and took the time to ask people how their day was. What a welcome this new addition is! My husband and I have tried almost all the bowl combos that CAVA offers -- however, Harissa Chicken is our favorite. They have a plethora of combos with their hummus options, toppings, and sauces -- all which are delicious. I also love that CAVA despite the fact that they're a chain teams up with local organizations to give back to the community. Definitely check this location out if you're in the area! read more

Food was outstanding especially for me as I have a slightly different diet. Staff was informative and answered all my questions. Definitely going back when I am in the area. read more

absolutely horrific management currently present here. less than 40% of their toppings are available at 5:00, workers gave poor servings of meat despite the up charge, the worker gave the last of their feta (which they said they were out of) to the people behind us, all that for a $17 bowl of steak, rice, lettuce and corn. Absolute trainwreck job done by the manager. read more

Food was good, however the way that they prepared it wasn't my favorite. It seemed as they prepared it a bit effortlessly, as the portions were a bit unproportionate. Also, when she folded my wrap, she folded it so that all the sauce was on one side and the other side was a bit more dry. read more
