This Cava was very clean and the employees were very nice. Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. My "build your own bowl" was made to order exactly as I asked for it. Everything was freshly made and they replenish often. *Download the app for rewards /for your bday you get a complimentary drink/pita chips or dessert ~ and that's all I have to say about that... read more

CAVA - Inside - Mediterranean Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Cava is like a Mediterranean version of Chipotle but somehow feels lighter and fresher. The bowls are packed with flavor, and the dips and spreads really make everything stand out. It's a great option when you want something filling but not heavy. Staff is usually friendly and the store is clean and modern. read more

This is my second time here and I teally liked the food the first time. I thought the porttion was good for the price. Since they usually have a long line to order in person, I placed an online order. I am very disappointed with my build your own salad. The portion is so small and it looks like they just threw things in the bowl. I noticed they have at least ten to go orders made right now. That is probably why my salad didn't get the attention I was hoping for. I am actually angry that I paid $11.75 for hardly any food. I will not be back. This is a waste of my money and now I will be very hungry soon. I am diabetic and look for healthy food with large portions to carry me through the day. Edited to add: While I was eating in the restaurant, I noticed customers who ordered in person getting a out double the portion in their salads. I am tired of the inconsistencies at food establishments. This is a main reason I have cut back significantly on eating out. read more

One of my favorite spots to get a quick healthy bite. Their food is always great and service is good. It's a nice twist on Mediterranean food so they have a bunch of "mezze" sides. Solid every time. Portions are generous, ingredients taste fresh, and the flavors are on point! read more

The place is interesting. There are pre-created recipes and then build you own bowl. My family did the build your own bowl. Everything looks fresh and amazing. This was our first time here and my wife LOVED it. My son and I... thought it was just ok. My wife got virtually every topping and the harissa chicken. I got the spicey lamp meatball and harissa chicken, I wasn't paying attention to what my son got. The harissa chicken was good, but dry. Add the harissa dip (which was amazing) and it had good flavor. The spices lamb meat ball was most likely made wrong. It was very hard and rubbery, also very dry and flavorless. You pay like 2.25 extra for it and it actually was really bad. The staff was really amazing, very patient and talked us through all the food items. Thank you for your patience! The restaurant was clean and bright, we sta outside as it was a nice day. Only complaint was the soda machine was broken and ice was everywhere. Overall experience was just ok. My wife will be back, me... I will probably try another restaurant in the area. read more

I enjoy the occasional Mediterranean food at CAVA nearby, and last night, I went to pick up dinner for my wife and me. She knew that she wanted a greens & grain bowl while I planned to get a pita. Both were build-your-own dishes. While the staff were very nice, I experienced a long line and dishes that continued to need to be refilled. The food tasted great but it took a long while to get, and due to some miscommunication, I was charged for an extra main dish. After the line slowly moved and I got to the first ordering area, I mentioned the bowl and pita I planned to order. My wife told me to order her falafel and to add some roasted vegetables and other sides to the bowl. I always planned to order grilled chicken for myself. They were out of the grilled chicken and roasted vegetables. I waited for a while for both to be refilled and added the tzatziki and hummus and other sides. When being billed, I didn't realize that the roasted veggies were another main dish, and at the point, I was unable to make any changes. Then again, it was my mistake for not knowing this so I've learned my lesson there. When I got home and we ate, the meal was delicious. I was still concerned about the long line and the food continuing to run out and need to wait a while to replace it. I would think the staff would be prepared to continue to replace what is about to run out very quickly (though perhaps this is why there was a long line to begin with). The North Scottsdale location is one of the seven locations of CAVA in Arizona. It offers pick-up, delivery, and dine-in. The restaurant hours are daily from 10:30 AM to 10 PM except for Thursday when it is closed. You can read more about the location at https://cava.com/locations/north-scottsdale-az. Also on the website, you can order online, see the menu, get a gift card, order catering, There is also the CAVA Rewards (https://cava.com/rewards) where if you join, you can get free delivery on your first order of $15 or more. There are three statuses each with different benefits. They also have a status match to earn the highest CAVA status (Sun) for a limited period of time. Again, I enjoyed the food and appreciate the CAVA loyalty program and benefits; however, this location needs some work to shorten lines by being more proactive in refilling dishes and keeping the lines moving. I am hoping that this is different in the future when I find myself back at this location again. read more

Still horrible, staff are all rude and lazy. Picking up an order takes forever. They don't put your order on the to go shelf, it sits behind the counter where you get to listen to hardcore rap music while the staff avoids eye contact with you...and eventually will ask if you are there for a pickup. The food is amazing but they need to fire whoever is running this place. read more

I had a quick and late lunch at Cava today and it was my first time there. I was able to park easily very close to the door. Only one person was in line ahead of me giving time to study the menu. It's a great menu as every item had the calories listed. I chose their new garlicky chicken Shawarma bowel and a soft drink which was the Mexican coke- sugar free. The bowl was not large but the taste was amazing. They had a recommended sauce and I declined the additional hot sauce with spices. In its place I chose their yogurt sauce. The two together were so very good with the garlicky chicken shawarma bowel. I spent about $18 plus tip. I may make this a regular spot for lunch. It is very simple with not a lot of items on the menu. The food is really good. The decor is comfortable for a fast food establishment. read more

CAVA - Harissa Avocado - Mediterranean Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Finally tried CAVA for the first time and I liked it. This place is like Chipotle but with mediterranean food. You can get a build-your-own bowl or pita where you can pick your base with grains/greens, protein, 3 dips (such as hummus, tzatziki, etc.), toppings, and dressings. They also have set bowls you can choose from. Price came out to $16 for the bowl and drink, and it was good. I hope they open more locations because this location was suuuuuper busy at lunch on a weekday. read more

I love cava! This is one of my favorite fast food places to pop in and get something to eat. Their kids meal is a great value and is extremely tasty. I love the variety of toppings and dressings. The hot harissa chicken is one of my favorites. The staff are always very friendly, and service is quick even when the restaurant is busy! read more

CAVA - Greek Chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Food 4 stars Value 3 stars Customer service 0 stars Had a terrible experience this afternoon during a business lunch. Got to the register to check out and asked for two water cups. The employee said "their order of water cups did not come in but I could sell you a bottled water or a drink". I asked if I could just have one of the small plastic cups they use for fountain drinks and she refused. The manager "Liz "came out and reiterated the same thing. Zero customer service, passing along their incompetence in ordering to their customers. All to save $0.10. I hope it's worth it! Won't be back read more

I came here after church while visiting from Portland. I loooove cava but somehow it didn't live up to my memories of it. I got a honey harissa chicken bowl which I have gotten before and I ate the whole thing but wished it was more flavorful. The saffron rice also was way lighter than I remembered it being. The staff was fairly nice but nothing incredible. The wait wasn't too long for us in line. The space was clean and had lots of seating. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

For those craving Mediterranean flare or a healthy alternative to fast food, CAVA is a great spot to try. Vegetarians will feel at home. You can craft your own bowls or pita or select one of the chef's curated ones. I love the spicy greens bowl. It's loaded with plant-based ingredients. There is also an assortment of handmade teas and lemonade available. The inside is fairly big and can accommodate parties of four or more. Accessible entrance and parking. Pickup & delivery are options as well. read more

They have some new Harrisa pita chips. Unfortunately they bag them right over the top of people's orders and the toppings and crumbs and pieces you will find throughout your meal. Not great great if your gluten-free having allergies or celiac disease. Service was fast and friendly. My build your own bowl was delicious minus the crumbs and grizzle I don't usually get. My husband enjoyed his build your own pita. read more

$24.65 for a double steak bowl with no sides or drinks is absolute robbery for practically fast food that isn't even using all organic ingredients. Food is average tasting but a 1/5 when factoring in the cost and slow service as well. Sweetgreen across the street is much better for the same high protein bowl style meal, while being quicker, tastier, cheaper, and higher quality. read more

We were ecstatic when we heard we were getting a cava in our neighborhood. When it first opened, we tried it several times and they couldn't keep ingredients in stock. They were often out of the most basic things. So we quit going there for a while and hoped management got it under control. We've gone back to give it another try. The food flavors are good! But they are extremely disorganized in putting together the food. Every employee looks utterly ticked off, mad and very unhappy to be there. Most of the employees look like extremely troubled and disgruntled teenagers with an anger issues and it makes you nervous to even order food from them. The angry eye roles between staff members makes this an unpleasant environment to even be around. Food flavors ARE nice! But management at this location needs to get it together!! I can't remember the last time I posted a Yelp review.... I'm not a restaurant review person. But this place needs an attitude adjustment! read more

This location is being entirely mismanaged. They run out of everything, go looking for the next batch, and it's never there. They always have upwards of 7-8 staff on hand with only 1 or 2 up front serving the public. The staff always seem unfriendly and unhappy. Despite there being a full-time busser on site, every table is filthy and the soda machine is out of ice. Cava is such a great product that it's a cryin' shame. Can you imagine In n Out mgmt running this store? It would be night and day. read more

The staff here is awesome, especially Armonte, always hooks it up good on the bowl. My biggest knock on Cava in general is the food can be hit or miss but this location is super consistent. I work nearby and go often and the food is always on. This location does well, get there before the rush or you're in for a line. Place is always clean and has plenty of seating. read more

Oh My Word. Mediterranean food served up "Chipotle style. This is my first time here and I'll definitely be back. Food was amazing, the service was just as good and it's a nice little place to stop. Ordered the Harissa Avocado Chicken and it was legit. Can't wait to try the other items. read more

Awful! My 17 year old went to get dinner here last night and not only was the staff incredibly rude to her, she got really sick about 2 hours after eating. She is still not feeling well this morning. We will not be back! For context, my daughter also works in the food service industry and she is very considerate of other workers. It's a hard job and people can be mean. There is absolutely no reason to treat customers with disdain or judgement without cause. read more

Update: CAVA is decent fresh food. However, this particular location has issues. Tonight, the black lentils in my bowl were plentiful and uncooked. How does that happen? I told the kid (it seems as though all employees are kids who are not well trained and personalityless), who said, "OH, I'll let them know." Coming back, she said that she didn't know what to do, except make me a new bowl if I wanted. I didn't want to wait, so I fished around the little black uncooked lentils and ate. As I was leaving, I checked the lentils to see if they were removed or cooked. Nope. Same uncooked black lentils. The fountain juices were loaded with unappealing foam. No reason for any of this. My husband won't go back and I probably won't either. read more

I wanted to recognize Anika and Angela for the truly amazing job they did during my recent visit to CAVA! They were both incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient. The service they provided was top-notch--they moved quickly while still taking the time to ensure my order was made exactly how I wanted it. They clearly take great pride in their work and helped make my CAVA experience fantastic. Thank you, Anika and Angela, for your outstanding service and positive attitude! read more

We needed something late night on a Sunday and Cava delivered. I absolutely loved my pita wrap. I chose saffron rice, romaine, arugula, roasted eggplant, harissa, tzatziki, honey chicken, roasted veggies, with the garlic sauce and the ceasar tahini sauce with tomatoes and more veggies and it was toasty, huge, delicious - loved it! Will be back. read more

CAVA - Big boy, loved the pita wrap with so many fixings! Ate it like a massive taco. The iced tea was good too! - Mediterranean Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

A Mixed First Impression, but Promising Food - Thank God for Receipts! I first heard about Cava when I noticed some coworkers bringing in their lunch in bright yellow Cava bags - great branding, by the way! It piqued my interest, so I decided to give this Mediterranean fast-food spot in North Scottsdale a try. I started with the Pita chips, which were amazing! They're like a cross between french fries and tortilla chips - crunchy yet soft, with a delicious garlicky flavor. Add the Crazy Feta, and you've got a snack that's hard to beat. For our mains, I ordered a Steak and Harissa Bowl for my wife, and I had a Greek Salad, and the Greek Chicken Pita for myself. I requested all sauces and dressings on the side - a small but crucial detail. When i picked up my order I sat down at a table that was clearly dirty, scattered on the table was some dressing and my favorite kalamata olives, I was tempted but figured I could wait for my greek salad. My food was on time but when I got home and opened the bag my wife was greeted with a Steak and Harissa Pita drenched in sauces not the bowl that I ordered. She ended up emptying it into a bowl (see pic), and despite her implying that I messed up the order, I was vindicated when the receipt clearly stated "bowl." Lesson learned: always check the bag before you leave! As for my Greek Pita, it was pretty good, but again, a little heavy on the dressing despite my request for everything on the side. Not the perfect experience, but the flavors were pretty good. Overall, Cava shows a lot of promise with its food - especially those Pita chips! While the service left something to be desired, I'm not one to give up on a restaurant after one trip. My wife? Well, she's already said no to a second round. Guess I'll be going solo for lunch next time! read more

Great food, but poor service! We love the food, the this place is so slow when it comes to serving on the line. I blame Managment for lack of training staff on how to handle the line to move along orders and customers to be more efficient. It took us 30 minutes to get out food and there were only 3 people in front of us with one order each. Unreal! read more

Love the food and the selection but why is it always SO COLD in there!!??? Every location I go to is always freezing.

One of my favorite spots for quick, healthy food! I love that they switch up the bowls and pitas to match the seasons--it keeps things fresh and exciting. The staff is always so friendly, too. On my last visit, Armonte checked me out, and we discovered we had both moved here from Chicago. I really appreciate that they go beyond just ringing you up and take the time to connect with you as a customer. read more

Customer service possibly the worst I have ever seen, especially for a publicly traded company. Walked in at 10:28 AM and was greeted with we're not open yet by a guy who was facing away from me and did not bother turning around. Needless to say the location manager was no different. In fact, she made a point in emphasizing that although the door was unlocked, they were not interested in serving customers. The food may be good, but I decided it wasn't worth the hassle of dealing with poor attitudes and people not interested in doing their job. read more

I arrived about an hour before closing and unfortunately they were already out of most of their meat options. On top of that, the front staff member was quite rude and the customer service was disappointing. It was my husband's first visit, and it was really unfortunate that the experience felt so unwelcoming. read more
