Walking in you notice a bright and airy open dining room. Walk up to the counter helped right away. What would you like in your bowl? I thought the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The green and green bowl was well filled and enough for two persons. The chicken wrap was good. The spicy chicken is spicy so it's flavorful. I did like the idea that the restaurant uses compostable containers. I did not like the fact that they charged me $3.15 for each fairy small cup of tzatziki on the side of mediocre falafel. I don't mind paying the price just don't nickel and dime me. And assortment of fresh juices to be had we did not participate this time, but will next time read more

The food is screaming yummy!!! I had a chicken bowl with customized toppings and the combinations were delightful! You can really create your own bowl/pita and make it tasteful. Everything was made to perfection and fresh. The service was average. This was my first time visit and it didn't disappoint. The inside seating was clean, neat , and the outside area seating is a win! I definitely will be back to try a salad bowl and much more. read more

Update after 8 months, and giving this place a 4th chance. Once again they completely screwed up my order. No sauce; throwing it in the trash. This is the worst Cava location on earth. Small portion and totally dry. I ordered EXTRA sauce and instead received zero sauce. read more

Not going to waste a lot of time. Puny portions with tiny utensils in a regular size bowl for $12 with no drink. My bowl was half empty when they served me. The help did not want to be there, you see it in their body language and attitude. The dressing size when I got home was enough for 1/3 of my 1/2 salad, stingy as hell. Wasted time, wasted money for a sad and pitiful salad...lesson learned. read more

CAVA - Puny Salad $12 - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Let me start off by saying how much I love this place. It's conveniently located in Carrollwood about 10 mins from my house. The setup is similar to a chipotle where you move through the line to build a bowl or a pita. You pick a base, greens and/or grains, dips, a protein, and as many toppings as you like.( I love that they are a little heavy handed on this instead of just a scoop lol). You can also get a piece of pita bread but you have to ask for it. The staff if very friendly and helpful if you are indecisive on what to get. I love the drink bar, has lots of options such as Blueberry lavender, Strawberry citrus and my go drink is the Cucumber, Mint, and lime! The ambience is very simple, has a lot of natural lighting, good music comfortably playing in the background, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Overall if you a looking for quick, clean yummy eats I would highly recommend. What I ordered: A bowl *white basmati rice *spicy chicken *roasted corn *tomato/cucumber mix *feta cheese *pita crisp read more

Horrible service. Ordered ahead on the mobile app and it took 45 minutes to prepare. The people were not at all kind when I asked where the order was. I've had cava at other locations and the food at this one was terrible. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Absolute fire!! Fast casual, Chipotle-like concept. Pleasant employees, awesome Mediterranean eats. They were out of pickled onions and avocado, so that was a disappointment, but otherwise awesome experience. Falafel not crunchy like I would expect, but pita was still amazing! read more

Delicious food but staff need more confidence in how to make the items. I would really like to give this a 3.5 but the food was so good. I've been hearing good things at Cava and was excited to see that it was open in my area. I came here on a slower lunch time during the holidays to order for my first time. Me knowing nothing about how the process worked I ordered the pre made bowl harissa avocado and another bowl the chicken plus right rice. I said the names of the bowls to the associate and he was very confused as to what I was talking about. It was a little frustrating because I didn't know how it worked and he kept asking me what I wanted and I pointed to the recipe. I noticed another girl behind the counter looking at a recipe card and suggested he use that. The girl eventually took over. After all of that the food was delicious so it was worth the confusion. I also loved the low calorie drinks. I got the pineapple mint and the blueberry lavender. Both were delicious. read more

My family loves Cava, and this location is one of our favorites. It's always clean, and the staff takes extra care to ensure our food is fresh and free from any gluten contamination.

CAVA - Gf bowl - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Went to this location several months back and had a positive experience. Went today and ordered to go. Wait was fine, ordered two bowls only. Got home and the bowls were 1/2 empty. Big change from before when was packed to the lid top. There was like a small handful of lettuce in each bowl. Had like 5 bites and was gone. If this is there new profit making push, I will not be back anytime soon. $30 for two bowls, one would expect some volume here. Would go elsewhere. read more

Service has been declining and managers such as Trevor are interesting in arguing with customers calling them liars when they are not even present witnessing the service failures. Food quality is on decline as well . And after the manner I've seen this manager treat veterans and female customers I'm in disgust and will take my business elsewhere ! Buyer beware of Trevor and as long as Cava employees such disgusting individuals they're not getting a cent from me or my company ! read more

Food here is absolutely delicious. Service is another matter. Depending on who is managing the night shift you will either get the best service OR at 8pm the juice is already put up and people in the back are refusing to make more food that has run out. My chicken pita took 45 minutes to get made. Unacceptable. read more

I recently ordered from CAVA via Postmates for something quick and healthy. I was so impressed by the food selection, taste and presentation I have since gone to visit in person for lunch. It's a Mediterranean version of chipotle's theme. Did I also mention all nutritional facts are posted? I track all my meals daily and this created another place I can eat and stay on target with my nutrition. Cleanliness - Food stations and restaurant were spotless. Staff - Extremely patient as I had 1000 questions. Quality and taste - So far, the amazing flavor of the food has been consistent. If you like flavor or seasoning on your food without things tasting salty it's a must try. Portion size- Last time I ordered 1 bowl and 1 pita. It was enough for me to feed 2 people 2x. I will return for lunch and/or dinner. I added a side of the sweet potatoes delish! A must try and a great addition much needed to the Carrollwood area. read more

The falafel is tasty, and I loved the salad options. I chose splendid greens, pickles, and spicy dressing for my bowl and did not miss the pita bread at all. It made two meals for me. The white sweet potato and roasted veggie (two other vegan mains) also looked delicious. My bf was happy with his spicy lamb meatball pita. Theres a nice selection of iced teas and lemonade. I'm a fan of the cucumber mint limonade. read more

CAVA - Falafel bowl with splendid greens, red pepper hummus, tzatziki, pickles, kalamatas, and so much delicious. - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I don't know how this location is still in business. We keep ordering from here as we loved the location in Austin, TX so much -- two locations actually and were both awesome. But this one is so poorly run, that literally every time we order we joke about which item will be missing/wrong etc. Well this time it's been 3 major screw ups in a row. Once, they gave me a grains and greens bowl with no chicken, no lentils, and no greens-- just rice and feta... The second time, they gave us kids meals instead of adult meals that we ordered And most recently, they gave us a salad bowl with NO salad-- and no vegetables. I don't know if they just don't take their delivery customers seriously but this is ridiculous. Stay away from this location if you want your order to actually be correct. read more

love the food, price, and ease of service. The staff is friendly and welcoming, clean interior as well

Delicious and nutritious! Definitely a meal I will not soon forget. Quick service and a chill environment.

Obsessed is an understatement! I feel like cava is definitely going to take over chipotle. So many options and it's soooo good read more

CAVA - Bowl - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Takeaways: Good food that's unique to the fast-casual scene, good portions, fast service, trendy feel. Food: The food here is really good! Think "Mediterranean Chipotle" and you pretty much got a grasp for what they have. MYO bowls/pita wraps with a TON of unique options! This Cava in particular gave us very large portions, which was VERY welcome! Service: The service here is average. You just tell them what you want in your meal and that's it, not really a good chance to show off good service. Everyone was really nice and patient though! They are very efficient as well. Ambiance: The ambiance of this place is very nice! They have a higher-class chipotle feel to them. They have reusable silverware, a ton of drink options, and just overall a more trendy look. read more

Great service and delicious food. Cava has many choices. I only wish the pita chips were not so salty. A nice restaurant to visit with tasty food and options for everyone. read more

Like Mediterranean food? This casual place is the way to go if you're in the mood for a refreshing meal! Bowl or stuffed pita...either way can't go wrong! The interesting this about is, if you're adventurous and create your own bowl or pita, EVERYTHING compliments each other so you really can't go wrong! I started with rice as my base (skipped the greens this time) had a scoop of red pepper hummus & another of tzatziki. Then for my proteins, I split between the grilled chicken & falafel. Toppings are unlimited so I had about six of them but can't remember exactly...fire roasted corn, Persian cucumbers, a tomato & onion mixture, pickled onions, crumbled feta & a few other things. I chose two dressings to top it off; the lemon Greek dressing & the Tahini Caesar. Everything blended together perfectly. Hubs made his bowl super spice with the spicy chicken & red pepper harissa. He loved it too. We also split an order of pita chips which again were delicious. This place is great for vegan lovers too. So many selections. We'll be back soon! read more

Cava is the best new bowl place to enter the Tampa market. I love that they offer both grains and green la as base options and the Mediterranean twist while maintaining healthy options makes them my favorite! My only complaint would be their online ordering system. Absolutely terrible. Every time I've ordered online the bowl is never ready and I usually end up waiting anywhere from an additional 10-20 minutes. So no matter how long the line is I recommend just waiting in it because it will most definitely be faster! read more

I'm just so so excited that Cava is now here in Tampa! I loved it in Maryland! This location did not disappoint! The location is GREAT! It's located in the nice Carrollwood area of Tampa. It's conveniently close to a lot of good shopping and is situated on a busy street. It's connected to the Navy Federal (convenient for us military affiliated folks) and is in a great shopping center (DSW, Target, Bath and Body Works, and so many other great stores). When I first entered I noticed how clean, spacious, and bright it was! Very inviting. There is also outdoor seating as well. I was immediately greeted and assisted with my order. I ordered 2 customizable bowls. The variety of choices all looked very good. I ordered the super greens base with the Tzatziki, crazy feta, and red pepper hummus as my dipping choices. I then ordered the Harrisa honey chicken and lamb meatballs and I added pickled onion, cucumber, cabbage slaw and I topped my bowl with the yogurt dill and the tahini ceasar. It was delicious. The vegetables were all fresh and crisp, the meat was very well seasoned and tender, and the dips and dressings were very tasty! My husband enjoyed his saffron rice bowl with braised lamb, he mentioned that the meat was very tender and tasty. I also ordered the cucumber Mint lemonade. This lemonade is a must try! It was not too sweet and very refreshing. I was not a fan of their other unique lemonade flavors. Overall I really enjoyed my meal, the ambiance, and the customer service. I will definitely be frequenting this establishment more in the future. I do hope that they add more locations! The price was not bad either for the quality and the amount of food. read more

I ordered a spicy chicken and avocado bowl to be delivered for lunch. I received a spicy chicken and avocado pita instead. No big deal I guess. While the pita itself is quite large there wasn't much chicken, but there was an entire avocado. The fire roasted corn gave the pita a good flavor and provided different texture to each bite. I like vegetables so I didn't mind the pita, but if you like protein it might be best to request extra and pay an upcharge. read more

I was so happy when Cava came to town. The bowls are great.. the lentils are so filling.. chicken is tasty and who couldn't love the crazy feta.. the pita is so soft and tasty that comes with the bowl., and we love the pita chips too. I'm giving this one 4 stars because they were out of feta?? How does that happen? Luckily we had some at home to add. Parking is great here unlike the one in South Tampa. read more

Terrible! Go to another location and don't order here because they're going to lose your order and let you stand by the register for over 30 min without acknowledging you and when you can finally get their attention, they act frazzled and tell you they don't know where your order is. When I asked to get refunded for the order I placed online, i was told to contact customer service. What's frustrating is they couldn't tell you if you're going to get your order or not. They simply shrugged their shoulders and told you to wait. After 50 min of waiting beyond the time I was told to come get the order, I finally left. Even a sit down table service restaurant would've at least given you drinks and appetizers by this time! I do not recommend placing orders through their app. Door Dash and Uber Eats seem to be the only ones getting pick up orders. Horrible experience and will never come here again! read more

We were super excited to get a CAVA in Carrollwood! Our dine in experience was pretty flawless! The avocado harisa chicken bowl was fantastic, just a little bit of a kick! I created my own bowl with grilled chicken and falafels and honestly loaded it up with just about every offering- and it was delicious!!! I love all of the lower carb options available and will definitely try a salad next time! Welcome to Carrollwood, CAVA! read more

Brand new to our area! Delicious options with a lot of health conscious choices, something I love. Lots of different items to choose from, with different flavors and spice levels.

Absolutely delicious !!! I loved the food and the service was great. The dining room is small but I went at lunch and was able to get a table. I'll definitely come back here ! read more

An amazing spot for great food in Tampa that recently opened. This chain is becoming more popular in FL as they expand, offering bowls or pita with a number of healthy and tasty options. Most will worry about losing taste when eating clean but Cava allows for both. I recently enjoyed a harissa avocado bowl and I'd recommend adding pita crisps on top. Service was great and there is plenty of room for seating even for larger groups. read more

Fantastic Mediterranean flavors! Delicious options! Healthy selections! Enjoy creating my own bowl and love their black lentils, variety of greens and vegetables, roasted eggplant & hummus, and unique proteins like harissa honey chicken that has a little kick, yummy, savory braised lamb, and lamb meatballs! And so many delicious toppings to add like roasted corn, pickled onions,cucumbers, tomato and onion salsa, roasted broccoli, pita chips, and more! And the creamy garlic sauce drizzled on top - soooo good. Can't find this type of food anywhere else! Also Nick gave us incredible service! You will not be disappointed. read more

Nick is actually my favorite worker ever. My bestfriend and I are regulars and everyone there is amazing. We are always excited to see Nick, he has the greatest energy and is so kind.

Great for a healthy dinner or lunch meal. Clean, tasty and plentiful. Great for the new year to keep up with the healthy eating resolutions.

Good. Big portions. A little on the pricier side but would definitely go back. The Crazy Feta was awesome!

This is by far my favorite QSR, so good. I love the diversity of flavors in all of their bowls and pitas. I am always taken aback by how many people ar there for lunch. For some reason this location has always been a little difficult for businesses, hopefully with Cava it's a hit!!! read more
