"Those who sing while the world sleepwalks by. Who wring meaning from their minutes while others just count them. To the appreciators, the embracers, and the devourers, you have come to the right place. CAVA, for those who savor." ― cava.com I came here to meet up with some colleagues and wow! What a great lunch! I was a bit intimidated by all the options they had so I chose a "chef curated bowl" of Lentil + Avocado. It was incredibly tasty and nicely balanced. I felt great after eating which was a plus for me since I had cycle class later in the afternoon. The portions here are huge and if I hadn't planned on getting a pedicure afterwards, I would have loved to take home the leftovers. They also have an excellent drink selection in which I tried the blueberry lavender and the apple mint. Apple mint is the way to go! I totally wish I lived by a CAVA. They make eating better oh so easy. You can even order ahead of time with their handy dandy app! read more

CAVA - Chef Curated Bowl: Lentil + Avocado - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I heard about Cava from multiple friends prior to visiting as this Arcadia location is super close and convenient. It seems to be a hit with the working mom crowd as it's a healthy, fast casual concept with fresh food that tastes good! Since hearing about it, I've been twice. Once for take-out and once for dine-in. I overdid my grain bowl on my first visit by adding too many toppings / dips / spreads. Everything looked good, so I kept adding more, but I suggest choosing wisely and keeping your order simple! Go with a chef-curated bowl if you're indecisive. I would recommend the garlic dressing on the side if you're not afraid of garlic (or planning on kissing anyone after you eat). I also like the tzatziki and roasted eggplant dips. Ask for pita bread on the side for dipping! I'm a fan of Cava's fountain drinks as well. I highly recommend the green tea mixed with a bit of your favorite lemonade(s). During my dine-in visit, I loved experimenting with flavors for my refills! I'd love to see a more basic grilled chicken or shrimp added to the protein options, but other than that, this place is great. I will be back and likely adding it into the rotation for healthy lunch and dinner options in my 'hood! read more

CAVA - Greek salad - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I hear all the hypes about this place so I need to stop by. Now I understand why many people like this place. The food is delicious! Tasty and a bit toward the sweet side, not the sour side. Juicy and yummy lamb meat balls are my new favorite. They gave generous portion of toppings and I can choose the toppings I want. There are many selections for the drinks. I tried cherry soda and it was so sweet. They are just opened and I think some new team members may need a bit more time to get your orders right. Please be patient because the bowl is so delicious and worth the wait. read more

CAVA - Harissa avocado bowl and spicy lamb meatball bowl - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Alright friends, I'm hooked! I LOVE mediterranean food of all kinds (It's in my Greek blood) and this quick build-your-own healthy bowl (or pita!) spot is the dreamiest! I went with a bowl and did 1/2 super greens (love the broccoli & brussels in it) with 1/2 saffron basmati rice. For dips, I chose roasted eggplant (AMAZING), tzatziki, and crazy feta (a must). For protein, I did 1/2 chicken and 1/2 sweet potato. For toppings, I added cabbage slaw, persian cucumber, crumbled feta, pickles, tomato + onion salad, kalamata olives, tomato + cucumber salad, and pita crisps. Basically, ALL THE THINGS. Lastly, I topped it with their lemon herb tahini and Greek dressing. I loved this bowl so much that I ate there twice in one week!! I even downloaded their app which I NEVER do for restaurants. They also have great healthy beverage options that include teas and flavored waters. Yes, please! Already dreaming about my next visit. I will probably place my order ahead of time on the app because they can get quite busy at meal times! I am SO happy to have this spot in the neighborhood. read more

Good food, but boy was the service terrible! The person that waited on me was literally glaring at me for no apparent reason! Like she was doing me an enormous favor for taking my order! I think the company needs to invest in some good customer service training for their employees! read more

Nice Mediterranean concept for fast food. Restaurant offers wraps, bowls and salads. Food is delicious, service is good and restaurant is super clean. Only downside I saw with the place is lack of parking. After circling parking lot few times on Saturday afternoon I parked at 10 min pickup parking spot and opted to get my order to go instead. Food wise, I picked a bowl and started off with brown rice and lentils. Another option is jasmine rice. Spreads come after, and I choose feta spread and red pepper hummus spread! This time around I did t take the meats, but instead picked vegetables and sweet potatoes, which was great. Lastly fresh toppings and plentiful and I picked tomato and cucumber with picked onions. Oh and don't forget the sauce dressings...really yummy food! read more

Had the pleasure of eating at Cava today for the first time. I was very pleased with my decision as the food was very delicious. The quality of ingredients was top notch. I ordered the Harissa Avocado and everything in the bowl was perfection and the spiciness was just right. I would recommend to anyone who likes to eat clean healthy but also delicious. The atmosphere is clean and the staff is very friendly. read more

We've been meaning to try this spot for a couple weeks and finally managed to stop in today. It's a little overwhelming at first as there are ALOT of offerings and it's like a Mediterranean Chipotle (as someone else mentioned) so you 'need a minute' to figure out what will work together. We opted to just order something from the 'they put it together' board and were not disappointed. I had a Greek salad with chicken and hubs had the white sweet potato recipe. Both were good other than I had a few fatty pieces of chicken in line (yuck). The sauces were great and make sure to ask for a couple pieces of pita as they don't seem to come with the bowls automatically- but what else are you going to do with the hummus? The patio is nice and in the sun in the afternoon so was perfect today. Definitely felt like we are healthy today and we will be back. read more

The pita chips and hummus are delicious and the customer service is great! Stopped in for lunch recently with a coworker and really enjoyed their employee Dave who was light hearted and made us laugh. read more

I love this place - I am SO glad they opened one in Arizona! It's a Mediterranean restaurant with so many options and choices. They have lamb, two kinds of chicken, meatballs, falafel and more. It was so crowded when we went but we didn't even care because we wanted it so badly. I ordered a build your own and my boyfriend ordered the Seasonal Bowl (feta and sweet potato). We both LOVED our bowls. The "crazy feta" is so creamy and spicy!! The vegetables are all very fresh and the dips/sauces are so flavorful. read more

So here's the deal. I was STOKED when i found out cava was coming to Phoenix. The food is stellar. You can build your bowl how you like it - i enjoy the green + grains bowl with arugula and right rice. Their proteins are all tasty and their toppings are the killer cherry on top. I am full after my bowl which says a lot cause i can eat!! What urged me to write this review after eating there 10 times already since their recent opening? Tonight they were super busy and they were 10 minutes late to the pickup time for my online order - while i waited they offered me a drink while I waited (omg their pineapple into fresh juice was stellar) but they also threw in a sweet blondie as a treat to say thanks for being patient! Customer service really sets places apart ( after the food of course ;) ) - and they are clearly doing that well. read more

Such great food, everyone is friendly!! Especially rob and drea! They made my bowl top tier! Will be returning! I've been to the one in camelback and it is such a fail. So rude and I swear they don't wash their hands. I will be returning ! read more

A quote from the Cava website... For those who savor Those who sing while the world sleepwalks by. Who wring meaning from their minutes while others just count them. To the appreciators, the embracers, and the devourers, you have come to the right place. What a great change of pace! Great flavors from a salad bar style joint where the employee behind the sneeze guard will serve you. You have the option to build your own bowl or go with a preselected menu item. You also have the option to go with a soup, I have not tried one yet or some sweets. You will find something to try if you are a fan of Mediterranean food or not, with all the available options. Just as I have raised my kid, just try it once and I will not force it on you if you do not like it. I bet you give Cava a second chance if you try it. My only gripe of this location is parking in this strip mall. Quite a few places here that each attract their customers. Be ready to hunt for a parking space or park at the strip mall to the north of this one. read more

Food is great but service would get 1 star from me. If you order at the restaurant, the employees look like they'd rather be anywhere else. They're slow, lack attention to detail and are unfriendly. And good luck if you order take out or delivery. Every single time, they forget something. My last order was the final straw. Ordered a greens and grains bowl - my bowl had no greens, was missing 6 of my 8 toppings, had 3 pieces of chicken and had no dressing. Absolutely ridiculous. Corporate needs to get this location figured out because I won't be back unless things change. read more

Samantha made my experience amazing, will definitely be coming back!! food was great and her service was helpfu!

Ordered this for a work meeting. Everyone, including me, was extremely disappointed with the portion sizes in their bowls. All of them were not even half filled up, leaving everyone hungry and irritated afterwards. Cannot believe how pricey this place is for what they give you. Order from somewhere else. read more

Food is decent but they keep getting online orders wrong! Very annoying, bad service. We live nearby and this is one of the healthy and tasty places to go. The food is really decent and fast. However, almost every time they get our online orders wrong. Today was the last time and the final straw - have ordered 2 different bowls and they mixed half of the ingredients from one bowl (chicken and rice and arugula) into another and the other way around. As a result we get 2 completely wrong orders, one of which is inedible (I don't eat chicken and they added it instead of the requested roasted veggies) The sticker printed on the order has the correct details, so it's not an online order issue. Waste of time and money. read more

Can't rave enough about Cava! Think Chipotle, but Mediterranean. You can choose from their handcrafted bowls, salads, pitas, etc. or create your own. I chose to create my own bowl with a base of saffron rice. You can split the protein, so I chose half meatballs half roasted veggies. The bowl was absolutely loaded- you will not leave hungry. They also have a selection of off-brand sodas, lemonades, etc. which were very good- I tried the cola. I can't wait to visit again- I hope they expand locations! read more

Came on a Sunday for lunch with my family. We all had a great experience. I got the Harissa bowl as it comes + diced tomato. I loved this bowl-- to me it was the perfect blend of flavor and spice, although it was too spicy for my family members. If you're sensitive to spice, consider substituting the Harissa sauce they add at the end for the Greek sauce. However, if you can tolerate a bit of spice, I would recommend getting it as it comes. I would liken the ambiance of this restaurant to that if a Chipotle-- maybe a little more inviting, although this particular location was definitely a bit chillier than is comfortable. read more

Cava is such a fun Mediterranean-style create and eat restaurant. I love all the different style sauces and grains to add to my bowl. Each time I've been to Cava in the Arcadia location, the service is quick and the staff are very friendly. I would highly recommend Cava if you're looking for a fast and healthy "fast food" option! read more

Cava was honestly the worst place I've ever been for someone with nut allergies. The staff didn't change gloves, and they didn't even ask if I wanted a drink. When I finally got my food, I literally found nuts in it--plus a hair! While the employees were friendly and the ambiance was nice, that doesn't make up for such serious mistakes. I won't be coming back. read more

Ordered food multiple times through Door Dash and it showed up wrong - not minor mistakes - like no steak in a steak & harissa bowl. No sauces, no bread - all stuff that's printed on the receipt. Mistakes happen, I get it however after this happened the 2nd time in a row I tried calling - can't talk to anyone, only get an automated prompt to go online and contact their support. Got a response back that "food quality" was Door Dash's fault. Worthless customer service. read more

We decided to try Cava based on a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint! I got the avocado harissa bowl and inhaled it. The entire bowl was super flavorful, a bit spicy, and had a great balance of ingredients- no boring bites at the bottom. The garlic ranch pita chips were crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned beautifully. The pineapple mint and blueberry lavender drinks were also deliciously refreshing and not too sweet. Service was quick and easy. The employees were sweet and the place was modern and clean. This will definitely be a new go to spot! read more

Amazing customer service ! Abby and Luis were so nice and friendly! Delicious food and fast !

Abbi and Luis were extremely helpful and the food was amazing! They helped curate our meal to how we wanted.

Great concept, a Mediterranean version of Chipotle. But this location has issues: 1st the dining area was filthy, tables and floors not maintained food everywhere, tables not washed (sticky). 2nd the food prep station filthy, not wiped down, empty containers, food slopped over counter area. 3rd the stove broken so out of grilled vegetables, also out of lettuce for specific dishes. 4th possibly understaffed, but staff were not friendly and one was rude. 5thoffered extra falafel since other ingredient not available, but then didn't include extra falafel...and the ones served were old and hard. The black lentils were good, but most of the other food did not look fresh. If the front of the store is any indication of what the kitchen looks like, I just hoped I didn't get sick from unsanitary conditions. What shocked us was the line at 8pm at night, they seem to be doing well considering the conditions and the reviews. Wonder when health inspector last visited. read more

Had this for dinner the other night...um, if I could give out 6 stars, I would. Think chipotle meets pita jungle. Excited to try it again and switch the ingredients to my bowl. The worker was patient and helpful with my first order. Ambiance is fast casual so you can eat there or take your food to go. read more

CAVA is a perfect example of a place that you drop into and become converted into a regular. I love Mediterranean cuisine (boatloads of recent health researchers say it helps you live longer), but it doesn't seem to be something that I have a lot of access to. It's a shame that hummus and other "healthy" food seem to be relegated to only a few, not to mention pricey, menus. The first thing I noticed when I walked into this location was the line. I don't say that to deter you - the line moves quickly. But it's rare these days to go into a fast-casual restaurant and have a line. Admittedly from the outside, I thought this would be a sit-down restaurant with service. It's not and that's OK. If anything, that's more than OK. On a weekday at lunch, many guests were popping in for a quick bite either to eat here or take back to their offices. While there are a plethora of "fast food" options where you can do this, it's so nice to have the option with healthier food. At CAVA, you do not have to choose between tasty and healthy. At this Chipotle-style, create-your-own plate system, you can customize your bowl or pita to incorporate all the major food groups. Lean protein from chicken or falafel, carbohydrates from whole grains, healthy fats from dressings, and everything in between. I was a bit overwhelmed with all the ways that you could customize your food here and went with their chef-curated recommendation of the Greek chicken pita. The word that comes to mind is flavor. Mediterranean food can sometimes be dry, but with all the juicy vegetables and dressings, all my worries quickly dissipated. The chicken was nicely seasoned and everything just felt satisfying. Another thing I liked here was the fountain drinks. They offer some drinks from Maine Root as well as some special iced teas. I had the cucumber mint lime and it was delicious. Very similar to the beverage offerings at Modern Market. They even had Diet Mexican cola. Definitely, a place where you could come with a friend and spend some time. I was surprised to learn that CAVA is a chain because it felt mom-and-pop and this location blended into Arcadia quite nicely. In fact, this chain is growing like crazy across the U.S. It's a sign that healthy food options are not reserved for the elite anymore. read more

Customer service was great by Alexa and Sammy! Highly recommend by anyone who is in the area!

Abi and Laura at this location are super friendly and very helpful when asking questions! The food was fresh and delicious as always!

Don't bother ordering Cava for pick up or delivery, they will always mess it up or leave things out. This isn't the first time we have had problems ordering through uber eats. We only got dressing for one bowl which is extremely disappointing, ruins the entire bowl. We were sure to call to make sure our pita bread came with it, since they always leave it out. When we called to make sure the pita was included, they said they would throw it in there for us and only gave us 1 when we requested 2, one for both our bowls. Our drink also came with no ice. Not to mention it took over an hour. Disappointed. read more
