I visited this restaurant last Sunday and ordered the Spicy Chicken Bowl to dine in. While I was eating, I found a large cricket in my food. I immediately informed the staff, and they asked the manager to come speak with me. Instead of apologizing, she insisted, "We don't have any bugs here." I responded that I had not left the restaurant, so the insect clearly did not come from anywhere else. She then said that everything they serve arrives pre-packaged, which did not address the issue or explain how a cricket ended up in my meal. Her responses made no sense, and there was no genuine concern or accountability. They offered me a refund, but I wasn't looking for my money back. I was expecting a sincere apology and for the issue to be taken seriously. I do not recommend eating by dirty restaurant managed this way. read more

I love Cava and highly recommend walking IN to this location. 10/10 on walk ins! That being said... most of the time when I order pick up the portions are approx. half the size as when I walk in and it's SO disappointing. So keep that in mind.. read more

Large Bug/Roach/beetle in the arugula. Thankfully, we saw it before she put it on our bowl. The worker/manager tried to hide what it was, but when I asked loudly several times, if it was a bug, she had to answer yes, and stated that they commonly find bugs in the arugula since it's bagged through a third-party. Completely unacceptable disgusting and disappointed that all the staff cowardly went along with her irresponsible and unaffected response. Then I called to try to speak with another manager, and a man answered the phone, and also tried to justify that Beatles or bugs are commonly found in the arugula. This is absolutely disgusting. I hope the health department shuts them down after a formal report is made. These folks are responsible for taking care of the food that they serve us. read more

This is an awesome spot offering fresh and quick meals. I ended up ordering the Steak + Harissa bowl and a side of the pita chips. The meal was $15 but was so filling and totally worth the price. I ended up saving half for dinner. I like the amount of variety the menu offers and I want to try the lamb meatballs on my next go round. The only thing I'd do differently is to order the sauce on the side. There's a lot of flavors going on in the bowl so I'd maybe want to add less of the vinaigrette that comes with it. The staff were really helpful and this location offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! read more

I'm usually a regular here, portions today were super small. I didn't even get it, walked out. I will no longer be eating here! Sad to say I was an everyday regular! read more

Man, my doctor recommended bed rest for the whole weekend due to a health condition and to add insult to injury (literally), I found a roach in my food. At first, I thought it was a prank but then that thing started moving and here we are. #sorrynotsorry #devastating #stillhungry read more

FINALLY WE HAVE A CAVA IN NORTH PINELLAS OMG. It was delicious, as expected. Rather noisy location off 19 but great patio dining. Staff was delightful, truly. If you haven't been to Cava before, please understand this: build your own bowl, add all the toppings (they're basically free). You can do splits like half chicken, half falafel...half lentil, half rice, etc. which gives you ultimate flexibility and customizability. One of the only places where you can get actually healthy, filling food, fast. read more

So I'm leaving at 5 because I felt bad I know they mean well it's the first week being open. I came in on a Sunday afternoon. They are out of everything. The portion sizes are definitely tiny compared to when I would go to the Seminole location. Everyone seems nice some of the food line employees are slow, but probably a new job for them so they're still learning overall they food they did have was delicious as always and I'm still happy they put one closer to home so I don't have to drive 15 miles. I look forward to their progress. I will say they keep it clean and are very friendly and I'm sure it will get better as they work out the kinks still so happy to have them close by read more

Our 20 year old son has been raving about CAVA for a while now, so we finally went. The food here was super tasty, healthy - and we got a lot. You get to make all the choices to make the perfect dish. Service was efficient and excellent. Tyler and crew took the time to explain everything and answered all our questions - being this was our first time. The atmosphere here is upbeat and welcoming. Check CAVA out if you're looking for something new and exciting. read more

First time ordering through mobile app and why do the portions suck!! There was barely any rice. I'm comparing it to other review pics and their bowls are full to the rim. I guess it's better to order in person rather than online. read more

Not sure what the hype is all about. I have been there 3 times now and each time I find it to be extremely difficult to order due to an overly complicated business model to order including non transparency (1st visit), difficult to follow quickly marketing (2nd visit), very over priced for what you get (3rd visit). I literally just paid about $10 for barely a base and vegetable protein so I could then travel behind the store to Publix to add my own salmon. Got home. Added my own advacado (restaurant prices are ridiculous) and goat cheese only to learn after mixing it all up that the rice was very hard and not cooked all the way. I literally kick myself because I should have just ordered for my teen and made my own bowl at home since I would have had all the left over ingredients to roll a meal over for my lunch. Lesson learned for being an over extended Mom. Back to just ordering for kids and fending for myself. How not so lovely! read more

New Palm Harbor location is great. Offering a variety of nutritious and flavorful takeout options. Both Protein bowls and vegetarian-friendly options, this spot hits the mark for both health-conscious eaters and flavor seekers. read more

I was hoping for a night in while unpacking from a move and used DoorDash tonight. But because of user error I ordered completely wrong. And didn't realize it...so I buzzed over to the Palm Harbor store to get things corrected and was fortunate enough to talk to Victoria. She was wonderful. I was clearly confused and she was so patient and kind. She helped me get the order I intended. It's been a rough week+ and seeing how she went above and beyond meant so much. read more

Good food and healthy too. When there a few times already. Different dishes with different kinds of protein.

Ambiance was like normal restaurant when I went. Only a few customers, but everyone was enjoying their meal. My wife and I really enjoyed our 2 meals. I love the fact they have a recipe card to remind the servers of what specific food to mix for each menu item. The food portion was not HUGE like Chipotle, but it was the perfect amount of food to make me feel full without feeling bloated. Meals are priced between $11-$16. I would definitely go back again. read more

Went in bc my daughter raves about one in NYC. I thought it was ok with a lot of rice filler and other melon ball sizes additives on top/felt like old Morrison's and wondered how long food was out for and not ID'd well. Asked what it was and got attitude. Got lamb and it was gristly and cold. Lady serving acted like she was doing us a favor serving us. Why can't you smile and be happy in your job? One little piece of pita; I won't be going back for $17 bowl of mush. read more

Rice under cooked and food not ready in time stated again, 3 strikes. Never going to this location again!!

Upbeat staff and excellent healthy choices. Great to choose your own ingredients. Good that it's there for a late night nosh.

Well, well, well! We finally tried this place and WOW! What a burst of flavors and taste and an overall great experience. With it being our first time, the employees helped us navigate the menu. I tried to look at it online, but that was a little much for me - I NEEDED TO SEE IT - especially since I'm so picky lol. Great location and environment, and I will definitely come back. I even found something that my picky self would be able to order again and again. I love the fact that they offer so many healthy options for their customers. This makes the experience that much better. Hats off to CAVA in Palm Harbor. read more

Horrible. The food/rice was so salty and I had to throw away the whole bowl. The hot red hummus tasted like tomato paste. I would have sent it back if I hadn't taken it to go. They also ran out of to go lids and when I asked for another bowl to cover my to go order I was informed that they were also short on to go bowls and couldn't spare anymore. I don't know who manages this franchise but they are definitely dropping the ball. Def a waste of money and I ended up having to cook dinner at home. read more

I ordered the Chicken & Rice Bowl by delivery service. The food was still fresh, delicious and an abundant portion. Looking forward to eating at the restaurant and trying other menu choices. read more

I was extremely excited to find out that I had a CAVA near me, which also meant I did not have to drive 13 miles away to get some CAVA... & man did the excitement only continue when i remembered how great CAVA really is. It was fairly late, around 9:30 yet they had all ingredients needed, fresh & ready to go. However that wasn't the best part, the best part was it didn't seem like the employees for the ones paying for the food portions... these guys LOADED my bowl up, something that Chipotle continuously FAILS to do. Not only that the guys were open to recommending me stuff in which they nailed every single recommendation. Clearly I had a great experience that's why I am sitting here typing up this Composition Honors Essay right now. Shoutout CAVA on 19, and shoutout Dylan for the generous portions! read more

I unfortunately won't be returning to Cava after a disappointing experience. When I walked in, everything seemed fine at first. I was ordering a build-your-own bowl, and as I got to the vegetable toppings, I pointed (from behind the glass) to what I wanted. The staff member abruptly scolded me, saying "Do not point!" in a rude tone. I was confused and apologized, not understanding what I had done wrong. She explained it was a health hazard, but my hand was never over the glass, and I physically couldn't have reached over even if I tried. Trying to move past that, I continued my order and went to pay. A different employee asked if I was a rewards member. I said no and asked how to sign up, but was told there'd be a code on my receipt. It felt like she didn't want to take the time to help in the moment. When I got home, there was no code on the receipt. To top it off, the food was far too salty and just not enjoyable. Overall, the service and food didn't meet expectations, and I won't be returning. Best of luck to Cava. read more

The last three times I've gone here the rice has been so undercooked it is still hard. What is going on at this place? Who doesn't take the basic time and effort to make sure one of the most basic foods to humans is cooked? Embarrassing. read more

It was my first time here so the menu was really intimidating. Luckily the staff were so friendly and understanding, they helped me so much! The food was so fresh and delicious, officially addicted! read more

Healthy, huge portions - can get two meals out of a bowl. I get all the toppings on my bowl as they are all so delicious. I choose to get the dressing on the side as you really don't need with the all the flavors. read more

I've been to this location a dozen times. I was so happy CAVA finally arrived near me but the last few times we've gone the customer service has been terrible by one employee, we felt so rushed and he had a miserable attitude towards us like he absolutely hated his job. Skimped on everything and I felt upset upon leaving bc of the bad experience last few times and sad I can't go back bc I really don't want to feel like that again. Hopefully management can handle and train their employees to have better customer service and not hate towards the paying customers. I never write reviews but I just think this should be handled and I like to know if I was the owner or manager wondering why business has slowed down. read more

So excited to have a Cava in our Palm Harbor neighborhood! We went to the soft opening this evening, March 5. The line was long, but the staff was organized and did a good job of keeping it moving. The food was fresh and delicious. Portions were smaller than we usually get at other Cava locations...for example, a side order of hummus was just a spoonful rather than the typical scoop. This was a pre-opening event and hopefully once they open to the public they will give the usual full size portions. We will definitely be back! read more

CAVA - Side of hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Food is great, 5 stars, but I'm giving 3 stars because every time I order pickup, it's missing something. I've ordered pickup 5 times now and every single time it's been missing something - Pita chips, carrots, hummus, etc. Last week i went to pick up and even told the manager about how things are always missing - She was nice about it and told me to report it on the app after I order - Helpful but doesn't really solve the problem. I got home and upon opening my bowl, the avocado was missing. Super frustrating to spend $40 for 2 and to have food missing every single time. Taking a break from ordering here because it needs to be fixed and I'm tired of the frustration. read more

New place. Fresh food. Good service. Outside seating. Service is welcoming too. Although, on the pickup line, food can be missing or wrong. I once received someone's order in addition to mine. When going to pick up. Looked like the line person was overwhelmed. read more

Restaurant was dirty with lots of unclean tables. Lots of staff but no ones knows what they are doing. My pita and chicken left on the side for over 5 minutes. When I asked for fresh meat, as mine would now be cold, my outta was slammed on the work too, the look I was given was unacceptable. . Everything looked dry. The mess on the counters looked unhygienic. Kitchen staff cutting and handling food without facial hair protection . The look I was given was totally unacceptable no customer service by any staff members. They were bickering amongst themselves. I will never go back again. Rude staff, very unprofessional. read more

Food is very fresh and absolutely delicious. Staff is very knowledgeable about the different foods they are serving .

Really Fresh and Flavorful! Pleasantly impressed Ordered takeout online, will Order Again!! Only thing missing is a drive thru

the food is really good....if they have it in stock after 8 pm. I've been to this place twice now and both times they have been out of key items before 9 and the service has been like cold molasses. there is no sense of urgency in their service at all. I stood in line for about 10 min while I watched the staff flounder around aimlessly. Another 5 people came in after me and waited atleast 5 minutes before they were even greeted. I can understand trying to close ,however, this level of consistent bad service is very disappointing. I can just go to the chipotle right next door for better service and available menu items. read more

very small portions for the price. food was good just not worth the price of what you get. Service was okay.

Service was amazing and good was fantastic. Staff was extremely friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my meal.
