This was my first time at CAVA and the food was delicious. I ordered ahead and it was ready by the pickup time. The restaurant was clean. I love the non-soda options! I had the cucumber mint mint drink with a splash of lemonade--so refreshing! I had the build your own bowl. I love all the fresh veggie options. The steak was tender and flavorful. My husband had the Greek chicken pita and really enjoyed it. This location has outdoor seating. It was nice to soak up some sun and eat a clean meal! read more

Much better than my first Cava experience! I made sure to ask for dressing on the side this time and it made a huge difference. I ordered the steak and harissa bowl and basically inhaled the whole thing. Great flavor combo and I appreciate them having suggested bowls since there are so many options for the "build your own" bowls. And the pineapple apple mint juice was interesting - probably wouldn't get it again but I'm glad I tried it. read more

Great location with fresh and high quality ingredients. The team members were quick and efficient and the restaurant was very clean.

There's plenty of space inside and some seating outside to eat. They definitely blast the AC so it was super cold inside. The food was good, I ordered the self-made bowl. It looked like a mess, but it was really good. The service was fast. They were nice and accommodating. Definitely try CAVA if you want something quick and healthy! read more

TOO COLD IN HERE. Like 50 degrees for real. No one wants to sit inside and if they do they are miserable. Come on.

I am a huge Cava fan. They have a great product and I would eat here every day if I could. The food is delicious, they have a great fast system and it is relatively cheap. I can't wait for them to open up a location back home in California. read more

Kinda of unepic. I was really looking forward to trying CAVA because I heard great reviews. I ordered online and my meal was ready for pick up when i arrived. There is ample parking space which is shared w QDOBA (I should've got that) I thought I was supposed to get the famous pita chips, but didn't. The food wasn't really worth $16 a plate. I think the prices are more online. Space was bright and clean. I don't think I will try again, maybe in desperation. read more

CAVA - Chicken Bowl - Salad Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Cava is life. Well not life but one of the things that makes life worth living. I always make my own bowls. My favorite proteins are the Spicy harissa chicken or braised lamb. I go dumb with toppings and add a tad of every sauce. The fried pita chips are addicting and I usually finish those on the car ride home. I hate almost every location near me tho. Always packed and finding parking is hell but I get it. Eating cava weekly is a lifestyle most won't get. read more

Ok so first off if you LOVE CHIPOTLE GO TO CHIPOTLE. This place was honestly a waste of money and my time. You get 1 scoop of rice yes 1 in this huge bowl! If you want extra it's EXTRA. You get a tablespoon of hummus. Lol a tablespoon like what?????? The meat was burnt and the lamb was horrible. The flavor was not there. They don't help you either especially with this being your first time you both will stand there looking clueless. The options are on a SMALL sticker on the window. No suggestions given. You don't even know the spice level of anything unless you ask and the server ACTUALLY KNOWS AT THAT TIME. The drinks were WATERED DOWN. No flavor no taste. Even the soda had no carbonation. The only thing that was good was the pita! And they don't offer it so be sure to ask on your way out. Overall, this place was too expensive and not worth it. Please don't compare this place to Chipotle the only thing they have I. Common is a BOWL! lol read more

Super kind workers and clean restaurant. They were out of the harissa dip around 8pm on a Sunday which is reasonable but heart breaking.

Better deal than Fresh Kitchen! Even if you don't love Mediterranean flavors there's something for everyone at Cava. I don't think any of the bowl they offer sound good, but I liked picking out my own ingredients. Basic bowl concept, pick a base (greens or grains) with protein and veggies but they have way more options here and you can add a lot more to your bowl for free vs fresh kitchen where you just get a set number of items. Overall it was healthier, bigger, and cheaper than fresh kitchen. read more

Cava is chipotle on steroids only Mediterranean style'. It's a bit pricier but it's worth the value , service is like you'd expect from any fast food joint, friendly and efficient. Ambiance - its fairly clean and modern looking, quite spacious but I did see a little sauce on some tables. Food is excellent , I loved the hot honey Harrissa chicken , sweet and savory , pairs very well with the pickled veggies and other toppings. I tried my brothers spicy meatballs and falafel , everything was delicious . Would return in a heartbeat read more

I've been to CAVA in St. Petersburg, FL twice now, & I'm officially a fan! First time I stumbled upon it because I was heading next door to Bolay, but Bolay is closed on Sundays. Lucky me. I heard about CAVA newly opening, but never tried it. This place has a Mediterranean flair to it in terms of flavors. It was the Zoe's, but this time it's like a Bowl and Pita style. You pick your toppings or you choose from a some of their options. There are a lot of options here. First, do you want a bowl or a pita? Then, pick your base. You can pick from different types of rice, lentils, greens. Then pick your dips to go with it. I like the eggplant and red roasted hummus. Some of them are spicy some are not. Pick your proteins. I've tried their chicken, beef meatballs, and falafel. Pick your toppings. They have lots of different ones too. And lastly a sauce you may want on top. I often ask for them on the side just in case. My fave is the balsamic date vinaigrette. I've tried their crazy feta and their garlic sauce. Service is nice to explain the toppings when you ask. They have signs which are a bit too wordy. The signs to identify the toppings would be more helpful if they were right next to the actual topping. They have different types of juices and different types of cookies. They also have a loyalty program as well through their app. The ambiance is minimalist. It would be nice to have more decor. They do have nice shaded outside seating and the inside tables are spacious. I will definitely be back. Their bowls can't be beat for just over $10 for all of the options and all of the flavor. CAVA bowls are definitely a stand out!! read more

Amazing food! I found through Yelp while traveling and had no idea this is a chain. I will look for Cava anytime I am getting food. My food was fresh and delicious. Love the drink selection too. Also a good choice for my friend who is gluten free and vegetarian. We both loved Cava!!!! read more

Great in person. Don't recommend any food delivery service delivery though. I'm vegan so it can be hard to get food out sometimes but never have I ever had as big a screw up as with CAVA and on multiple instances at this specific store. Also instead of cancelling your order when out of a significant amount of ingredients they just leave it off and send you the bowl anyway. However, all of this can be avoided by picking up your food in person and watching them as they make it to make sure they get the minute details. If you don't care about that and willing to leave it to chance then go for it but I got a steak bowl when I definitely ordered the falafel on one delivery instance and full ingredients left off another time. Still I love cava they are a healthier alternative and keep me full for a long time. Check them out if you haven't but go in person! read more

Highly impressed with this counter service/cafeteria style restaurant! Though the actual menus is short, the possibilities are endless! Instead of ordering one of the menu bowls, I decided to create my own. The customers in line that frequent this place basically said that's everything blends together so you can't go wrong! I started with Arugula, brown rice, grilled chicken, and then a slew of toppings and accompaniments including red pepper humus, fire roasted corn, Persian cucumbers, calamata olives, lots of other veggies, Cesar dressing & Greek lemon dressing. My bowl was amazing! And like they said, it all blended together perfectly! Will definitely put this high on my list of places to return to! read more

I can't even tell you how horrible the customer service and website are. There is no way to speak to a human being. All you get is the founder, Ted, giving you 3 options, all of which direct to to a website. On the web page for St Pete, you can't order for catering for the St Pete location. It just defaults to the day you are in and defaults to a set time. The company catering says there is no store near the St Pete location that I want it delivered to, when there clearly is. Absolutely horrible, horrible customer service read more

Love the bowls! Love lamb options. Love that you can customize your order. Things like pickled onions make it stand out. Always greasy ingredients. read more

They have some of the best steak and I have ever tasted it taste better than Charlie's steakhouse. They are really great at caramelizing the seasoning and the fat on that meat and it is the most wonderful thing I have ever tasted in my life. I encourage anyone who's interested in cava to try their steak. You won't regret it. read more

I arrived and instantly noticed the shortage of parking with it being busy. The ordering process is pretty organized and clear which is nice. The space is clean, the service is great and speedy. For food I decided to order the lamb pita to go, which I was really excited about, although I'll admit it did seem pricey but then again everything's expensive these days! Upon getting home I opened it up and wasn't disappointed from a quantity standpoint. The one thing that i did find a bit disappointing was the fact the minute I unwrapped the pita a 1/4 of sauces worth dripped from the bottom. Otherwise a good experience. read more

Guysss - don't sleep on Cava. It's clean, fresh ingredients . If you order off the app it shows you calories and macros ( if you care ). Staff is always welcoming and friendly . They have compostable cutlery and to be honest , it's some of the best fast casual food out there . It's quick easy and fairly reasonable cost wise . I've even ordered off of Uber eats and everything is intact and accurate . I also love that i can get points using their app to order or order ahead. Convenient parking , the whole 9. read more

Delicious. I have been waiting for Cava to open locally - I first heard about this awesome chain on TikTok. The pita chips are a must-try! Their drinks are so unique and refreshing as well.

Ella and Jackson were very upbeat and helpful. The food was fantastic and we'll be coming back! Thanks guys!!!

Got sever food poisoning last time I ate here!!! Back story ; The food at both St Pete and Tampa locations has disappointed me every single time I had it, the only reason I continued to give them chances is bc of a previous good experience the NYC area. Not to mention in St Pete/tampa locations the ambiance and service is absolutely atrocious considering how the staff speaks to you and how filthy both places look. I can confidently say this was and will be my absolute last time eating at CAVA I got a plate and so did my partner and his son. The only thing we all had in common in what we ordered was the rice and I know cooked rice could quickly grow bacteria and cause food poisoning /upset stomach in as soon as 24 hours of being prepared regardless of how it's stored (basic health code rule anyone in the industry should be away more of) mind you the time we ordered was only one hour after they had opened so clearly they are reusing rice from the previous days. Where is the Florida health department??? We all ended up throwing up multiple times but I specifically could not stop throwing up for almost 30 hours straight including any water I drank and had to seek urgent medical care from the emergency room at around 4am after nearly 3 days of eating my bowl. It's been nearly 5 days and I'm still struggling with symptoms. On another note did some research on the owners and main ceo is a straight up Zionist (not the Greek ones) in conclusion if you're here to support a business that stands for dirty old food and supporting a modern day genocide that's on you, at least I've warned you about my experience. read more

I love Cava! It is a good alternative to other places where you can make your own bowl. I get the splendid greens with basmati rice, the chicken. Definitely try the harissa sauce if you like spicy! For the toppings, go wild! Ask for two scoops of something you like! It is unlimited toppings after all! It tried the schug as my dressing for something herbal. I loved how my bowl turned out. It's so flavorful and the presentation is lovely. read more

Fresh Mediterranean food sounded like a great lunch option while on winter break. I placed an order for myself and two kids. The food was ready at the time indicated in the confirmation email. I ordered a falafel salad- it's meh at best. The falafels are small, crispy though, and smooth in the middle. Saffron Basmati Rice, Romaine, Spicy Falafel, Tzatziki, Traditional Hummus, Fiery Broccoli, Fire Roasted Corn, Tomato + Cucumber, Pickled Onions, Skhug, Garlic Dressing. It sounds like a lot, according to the menu description but it's all romaine lettuce with a sprinkling of the other items. My son had the chicken and rice salad bowl. Similar to mine in which heavy on the romaine and light on all other items. Both are tasty just not balanced with ingredients. The prices are the same as other healthy grab and go places, but other places have better veggies and portions. read more

The food is outstanding. If you enjoy Mediterranean and inexpensive, clean and healthy food this is the place for you.

First I love this kind of food so , there's that It's exactly like chipotle but, Mediterranean. The service was fine . There are several carbs ( rice , lentils ect) too choose from as well as greens , sauces , protein and other toppings. I'd definitely go again and wish it was closer. This kind of food is really easy to make at home too though . They had falafels and lemonade read more

I'm not a fan of bowl places because I prefer food, other than salad, to not be piled on top of each other but the Mediterranean flavors an options at Cava appealed to me. The first visit did not disappoint! They will definitely be a go to when I'm not in the mood to cook or need a healthier option when out. The toppings weren't ice old like other places and allow the flavors to come out. Tasty, fresh and healthy choices. Except for those fried pita "chips". Oh my. You have to try them at least once. And the hummus is really flavorful. Other favorite dips are the tzatziki and eggplant. Since the first visit I've been late at night twice. I found the rice wasn't as hot and the lentils were dried out. I'll stick to just getting them as a topping. And the juices were amazing. read more
