I stopped by Cava for a very early lunch. I will admit that I dropped by this location because it seemed to be the only spot in the shopping certain that was open around 10:45/11 am on a Saturday morning. Since I was not too creative, I went with the Chicken and Rice bowl. The bowl was served with grilled chicken, tzatziki, hummus, feta, Persian cucumber, tomato, pickled onion, and arugula. I thought the serving size of bowl were very generous, and the portion was large enough for one large meal or two small meals. The cost of the bowl was about 13 bucks, which I did not think was too bad compared to other places in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although I did not take advantage of it, I was quite impressed that the restaurant had a large patio area for outdoor dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I thought the staff was very nice, helpful and patient. I'm glad to add this spot my rotation of quick bites. read more

Went back Cava recently and had a delicious bowl with a free birthday drink as a reward.

This is my quick stop to get something I'm thinking is healthy when I'm out and about. I got the Crispy Falafel bowl and a lemonade/black tea drink. I love this bowl it's delicious. I got served quickly, the only thing is the available tables were not wiped. They had crumbs from previous customers. I get that this was their busy time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other than that it's a pleasant atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend. read more

Tasty Meal, Great Service. I visited this Cava location in North Bethesda first time today. Located on busy Rockville Pike. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is spacious considering the small restaurant footprint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I invited a friend to just me for lunch. We arrived late afternoon & scored a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our meal-she had chicken/rice bowl; I had chicken on a bed of baby spinach w/asst. toppings. The chicken, spinach, pickled onions & tzatziki particularly fresh and flavorful. Delicious! My friend really enjoyed her meal. See Photo-generous portion.

Cava - Chicken, Spinach, Avocado & More Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

This location is conveniently located directly off of Rockville Pike. Parking is relatively easy due to a parking lot reserved for the few eateries within the small strip. The food is tasty and on par with other Cava locations, however portions seemed to be on the smaller side. The service was efficient, but not overly friendly. The staff was made up of younger staff members, so it was the kind vibe that one should not necessarily take their indifferent attitudes too personally. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But one star deduction for the smell of garbage upon entering the establishment. The restaurant was not busy, and there was plenty of staff standing around. They may have been nose blind to the scent, but its hits you when walk through the doors, and can be off putting when hoping to order foo[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]d. Overall recommend, this location seems good if you're in a pinch. read more

This Cava's used to be one of the best around. However, my last FEW visits have been terrible. Let me tell you why. They no longer give you enough rice. The first scoop of rice, they shake half of the rice off the spoon as well as with the second scoop. When you ask for greens with rice, they fill your bowl with the greens and the rice they give you barley covers the leafy greens. They also over pack your bowl with vegetables to make the bowl appear full. Oh, and if you ask for more rice, now they charge extra. I know times are hard for everyone right now, but nobody wants to pay 12+ dollars for a bowl of vegetables. read more

Great food as usual, but terrible service. The lady that provided me the initial service was ok but the 2nd person she acted like she was doing me a favor serving me and sorta tossed my bread next to my food. No smile or greeting from anyone.... read more

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening and had a lovely experience! Very fast and casual. The workers were all nice and efficient. Made my own bowl for ~$11.50. Very fair price for the amount of food. I left very full! Lots of different options. Ingredients felt very fresh and the flavors were great! Lots of vegetable options and sauce options that were delicious. A good mix of everything and could make whatever you wanted! Would come back! read more

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

How best to describe Cava? Think of a fresh and Mediterranean version of what Chipotle was when it first started. I have not been eating out much lately, but I decided to try this place on a whim, and I am so happy I did. I had the grains and greens bowl, and it was delicious! First, you select either a bowl or pita (think wrap or salad) and start by adding your choice of protein, vegetable, or grain. Protein choices include grilled chicken or lamb; there is a vegetarian option for falafels or a sweet potato vegetable thing. There are several add-ins, such as olives, feta cheese, Persian cucumbers, etc. Finally, I highly recommend adding the pita chips to your bowl for a nice crunch. The price is about $12. read more

What an Awesome Cava location. I had a Cava bowl that was filled with so much life and colorful veggies. Plant life gives you life and gives energy. Eating a Veggie bowl have improved my circulation and overall health. I lost 10 pounds Eating a bowl 2 times a week and excercing lightly. The staff at the Rockville location "Rock"!! They are alway smiling and have a positive spirt. Their energy and great customer service always keep me coming for more. I must mention that this location are staffed with mostly female employees. Watch out guys, you better be nice to these women. They are taking over the world. This review was very well worth taking the time to share my positive experience with everyone. You should try this Cava location yourself for the experience and food. Have a safe and blessed day. read more

The food at cava is good and it's always fresh. But this is the 2nd time that I've ordered on mobile and the order took 1 hour to prepare, not deliver but PERPARE. I had one bowl and two times I've had to cancel without a refund cause it wouldn't reach in time. read more

I prepaid with the CAVA app last night to have it ready today at 11:00 AM. Excellent experience. The curbside pickup process was seamless. I called the number in the confirmation e-mail, and they even had an extension to dial (4) for curbside pickup so their crew members know what type of call it is. That's cool. My food was ready and bagged up and delivered to me by a friendly crew member within 30 seconds. I got like two meals worth for $13, but I totally devoured about 90% of it in the parking lot and thought to myself, what have I done, what have I become? COVID has made me give fewer damns about being gluttonous. It was just so so good. Every single ingredient down to the lettuce was perfect. The last bite was as scrumptious as the first. It was like 4 lbs of food (exaggeration). Amazing. They also gift you a free bowl for your birthday if you have the app. So download the app! read more

We love CAVA as a family. Went to this location last week and as always, the food is consistently great. Service was pleasant and quick and the place is clean. Husband and I always get the rice bowl with chicken and several of their delicious dips. Always get extra dill yogurt dressing but they also have a mild garlic dressing that is also great. My daughter even enjoys it with her kids chicken pita meal. Sorry, no pics! read more

Tons of free parking in front of shop. Accepts both cash and credit card. You can also earn points through their cava app. We came here during the weekend while in the area. Their layout is similar to other cava locations. The food is fresh, but customer service was a bit spotty. The cashier at the time charged me extra when I didn't order extra items. Luckily, the manager was there to refund me the difference. They do have plenty of tables here if you decide to eat inside. Wished the tables were more clean, but it was busy during the time. read more

Last night I enjoyed some delicious food. I was able to build my own delicious bowl with their fresh ingredients. I'd love to walk you through the process, but sadly the process was a jumble for me. You see it was my first time there. I saw the the signs, understood the process, but the ingredients were unfamiliar to me. Of course, I asked the staff for help. That's logical, right? They was no line to speak of, still they were impatient. I didn't notice a name tag on the lady who didn't tell the names of ingredients and hurried put the ingredients in. The receipt shows the name of he cashier, who actually helped in the end. The cashier added dressing that was left out by the disconnected server as that server just laughed. My stomach happy while I am disappointed that service hasn't improved after consistent complaints. I may visit this location in the future believing in second chances. read more

I stopped by here on my way home from the nearby climbing gym to grab a quick dinner. I love cava, but this location is not my favorite. Even at 9:30 pm there was somewhat of a wait to order food as they seemed busy and/or short-staffed. They were also out of several items as well as napkins. However, the deal-breaker for me was seeing a mouse scurry from under the dispenser with the napkins and utensils after a staff member went there to replenish the napkins. The mouse scurried to a little hole between the ground and the window (near the door), ran outside, then tried to return and finally ran away again. Later, as I sat outside eating my dinner, I saw it running around near the window/door area. read more

I love Cava salads way more than I should. They make me happy on a cellular level. I'm so happy this new location is here. Rockville Pike is full of places to get burgers, Mexican food, fast food, and other delicious but unhealthy fare. It's great to have a place that serves fresh, flavorful, filling food fast... and at a fantastic price. The staff were polite, attentive and had my order ready in no time. Everything was fresh and delicious and otherwise just what I'd expect from Cava. Welcome to the neighborhood, guys! read more

Cava is always delicious and healthy! In addition, I consistently receive exceptional customer service from all the staff, especially Maria Cornejo. She is a customer service Wonder Women! Maria pays attention to details and is willing to go the extra mile for her customers. For example, on a previous visit she noticed that one of my favorite Cava Bowls was seasonal and the ingredient card/ list was not available. The next time she saw me, she made sure to bring it to me, so I could take a photo! Thank you Cava for hiring such thoughtful and dedicated staff. read more

CAVA is AMAZING!!!! If you live in Gaithersburg area like me there is one in Shady grove and this one in Rockville. The easiest way to describe this place is a HEALTHY version of Chipotle. They have the line up like chipotle does where you get white or brown rice, lentils and 3 hummus/ sauce, chicken/veggies and other fixings. This place also serves soup and they give you pita instead of a tortilla. You can order a bowl or the pita with all the stuff inside. When I first when in, I have no idea what to order. I felt SO out of place! I walked out and then went to honeyglow next to Cava and that place had me even more confused! lol I went back to Cava and the line got longer. So it was a given. Cava is the place to be! I looked at the menu to help me pick my options and then I just winged it when I went through the line to order. If you are scared to try new things, order the classic hummus, red pepper hummus on the side of your bowl. They will put everything on the side. This place is a little pricey. I paid $9.95 for a bowl, with the pita on the side with chicken. But the quality was worth it for sure! I will definitely go back to this place again! Love Cava! read more

Nifty salad place where folks can custom build with greens and/or grains. Add proteins and toppings and whatnot... add pita and other nifty additions. All for a fair price (approx $12 or so per salad). I love CAVA. This particular one though, the food doesn't taste as fresh and the servings seem smaller than the Upper Rock CAVA a little ways north. read more

Cava is one of my favorite go to's for eats; however, there was never a close one to me until now! Imagine a chipotle with all infinity stones. This is Cava. Cava offers a variety of different greens such as arugula, romaine, spinach and more! You also have white rice and brown rice and black lentils. Or you can mix and match. There are different spreads and dips as well as a wide variety of protein which include chicken, braised beef, lamb, and falafel. Cava caters to all individual whether you're vegan, vegetarian or just hungry. After eating the meal your created you can wash it down with a juice they have as fountain drinks. I always love their classic lemonade cause I'm basic. Atmosphere, customer service and staff are always excellent. If you haven't tried Cava yet, I highly suggest it! You won't be disappointed! read more

I love CAVA and this location! The employees are always friendly and even when there is a line, I always get through it fast. Their food is delicious. I especially enjoy the roasted vegetables that they have during the Fall and Winter. I'll be sad when they go away. If you've never been to CAVA, it had the "Chipotle model" where you choose what goes in your bowl. It's Mediterranean based foods but you can get a grains bowl of rice and lentils or a greens bowl with different types of lettuce. You then choose proteins, dips, veggies, and sauces! I especially love their Green Harissa sauce. They say it's spicy but it's not that bad. They have an app where you can link it to your credit card and pay there as well as earn points. I'm new to the program though, so I can't really say how good the deal is. I will definitely keep coming back to CAVA at this location! read more

BEST FALAFEL ON THE PLANET!!! Moist, delicious, did I say moist!?! Normally the only disappointment at every other mediterranean restaurant I've EVER eaten at, this falafel rocked my world! And then let's move on to the perfection that are the toppings and the generous amounts of each you get so you're not searching for the three specks of quinoa or whatever lol Fast, friendly and I used the app to order and it worked great! Literally bringing friends back in a day to enjoy again and share the veganfoodie, wholefoodie love! read more

This is one of the best fast food places that's also pretty healthy. I always get a greens and grains bowl, which is the best of both worlds when it comes to getting your veggies in and having a filling meal. The proteins are diverse and have vegetarian options, you can get unlimited toppings and sauces, and it typically comes out to about $12-15. Personally, one bowl could last me for a few meals, but it also depends on how hungry you are. The service is also really quick; think Mediterranean chipotle, where you just go down the line and create your meal. At the end, you can grab a drink, and they do have some seating as well. Parking is easy, getting the food is quick, and it won't break the bank, and it tastes great! read more

Food is great. They skimp on just about everything though.. Alvaro acts like the extra scoop is coming out of his paycheck although there is barely anything on the scoop to begin with... service is okay, they spend a bit too much time talking to one another and laughing then one would like. Ambiance reminds me of chipotle. read more

I ordered by their website to have the order ready by a certain time. Order was not ready when I got there. I had to wait for bowls to be made. Then when I got home, each of them did not have all of the ingredients that we picked, and stickers were mislabeled so that wrong bowl went to wrong person. If you order here, I would not recommend pre ordering for pick up. I would just order at the store so you can watch them be made. read more
