Love this place. The portions are perfect, the ingredients were fresh, the price was reasonable, and the staff were friendly. I left feeling healthy AND satisfied. I ordered the spicy lamb and avocado bowl with a kale and black lentil base. The lemon herb tahini dressing with the creamy feta, tomatoes, cucumber, and lamb was my favorite part of the dish, though everything worked well together. They were also happy to add extra slaw and corn at no additional charge, which paired perfectly with the black lentils. I also appreciated the ample outdoor seating. Would have been nice if they offered a flavored drink option without any added sugar. While the flavors sounded interesting, the calories listed made me feel like there was just too much added sugar for me to consider trying them. That said, I loved my bowl, the water was fresh, and I'll definitely be back. Would absolutely recommend this place to others. read more

Cava is honestly my favorite place to order from currently. The food is amazingly fresh and SO yummy. I never leave any of it and even after I finish my bowl I always want more. The service I'm sure goes hand in hand and is amazing. I haven't been to a Cava, however I'm sure the vibes are on point also. 100/100 would recommend! I always love eating Cava!! read more

Every time I come to this location, I'm impressed. The place is always clean, fully stocked, and well-organized. I've never had to wait long for anything, and the customer service is consistently top-notch. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which really makes a difference. I've visited this location multiple times now, and I felt it was time to give them the credit they deserve. My food is always fresh, warm, and exactly how I ordered it something you don't always get everywhere. Even though there are closer locations to me, I'm happy to make the drive because I know I'll get great service and quality here. I really can't find much to complain about. Keep up the great work! read more

Man, I absolutely LOVE Cava! Unlike the other "Bowl"- places. You really don't even need the sauces. Their toppings are moist and well seasoned. They're expensive, though. Two bowls with drinks was $32, if I remember correctly. The service was great. Of course, the table I wanted was dirty, but the guys came right over, cleaned it and apologized. Sorry, I was starving, so I forgot to take a Pic, but a bowl is a bowl, is a . They all pretty much look the same. (Now if smell-a-vision was actually a thing...) Cava doesn't have a many toppings as Mezzeh, though. (I'd still rather have Cava). read more

We come to this CAVA for the food, and mostly for the service. Brayden is an excellent manager and goes above and beyond always to exceed expectations. We hope he becomes king of CAVA someday, just as long as this branch stays as awesome as it is For real, if you love mediterranean food and at a good price, stop on in. read more

CAVA is a fast casual Mediterranean restaurant. Think chipotle but better. It's a super quick grab and go meal but this location has plenty of seating if you'd prefer to stay. I'm just usually popping in for something quick. The process is like any build your own venue. You choose a base, grain, protein, dips (i.e hummus), toppings (so many options here) and sauces (again so many options). The food is consistently fresh, the service is usually very friendly and I've never had any issues. It's my understanding they have a few locations in the area but I have appointments near this spot so it's usually my go-to. Worth the try if you're looking for something fast, casual and honestly (in my opinion) super affordable for the quality and size of the meal. I snagged two bowls to go so I could have the extra one for lunch tomorrow. read more

After a great run, my friends and I decided to refuel at Cava, and it was the perfect choice. Their bowls are not only delicious but packed with fresh ingredients that really hit the spot. The flavors were amazing, and it felt good to have such a healthy, satisfying meal after our workout. The ambiance was lively, and the music made the experience even better--lots of groovy tunes that set an upbeat vibe. A special shoutout to Jade, who made our visit memorable too, she was very attentive and gave great recommendations for next time we come:) read more

Super delicious fresh food, great service and amazing lemonades. My favorite lemonade is a mix of Bluberry Lavender/ Cucucmber Mint/ Classic lemonade -- just sooo good and not too sweet. Great locations, seats available inside and outside. The best place to eat super delicious bowl with fresh ingredients of your choice. Plenty of meat and veggies options both for meat lovers and vegetarians. read more

For a 1st timer, CAVA will be overwhelming with all the varities and options. However, this review is for my 2nd time going to CAVA, different location and totally different vibe because it was in downtown Tampa. This place is excellent for anyone with dietary restrictions or needs. They serve HUGE portions which means LEFTOVERS! It even tasted better the next day. The food is definitely fresh and I am a huge fan of the cucumber mint lime drink! Delicious! read more

I came in a few month ago with my BF and I was so overwhelmed by the options I just let him order/eat and I missed out!! A friend suggested it this week and I looked at the website; holy grail of Cava information!!! The build your own bowl choice gives in depth descriptions of every single item and how best to compile your bowl. After about 45 min I finally made all my choices and the website made it easy to order for grab and go pick up (although now I can also order in person!). The food was SO fresh, healthy and the chicken had quite the kick! I felt full? Energized and ready for the afternoon which is not usually the case after eating a bowl! Already can't wait to try another bowl and love that each one comes with a little complimentary side of pita! Great place and easy location for pick up! read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

My boyfriend and I have ordered delivery from here twice. That 4 meals total. They have not come with the "free" pita either time. Both times I've ordered the tiny $4 humus and it's been for nothing. He didn't even get the pita chips that he added to his bowl. One time is an accident... Service has got to be better. Double checking orders and such. read more

Cava is my obsession at the moment. I go here atleast once a week for a fresh, healthy delicious meal. They are the new "Mediterranean chipotle", you can go down the line and pick anything you like. Ambiance is nice, bright, and open. Lots of windows so the dining area gets a lot of sunlight which is nice. The honey harissa chicken is my favorite with the balsamic date dressing. It is spicy with a little bit of sweetness. I love to mix the lemonade and blueberry lavender drinks to have a blueberry lemonade. The service here is great, especially the manager (he is a sweetheart), but I do have to say be careful about coming late at night because they do run out of things a lot. Go park by Bulla for free parking and walk over. Nonetheless, this is one of my favorite places in tampa to grab a quick meal!! read more

First time getting a pita wrap at Cava! Typically a huge bowl girl, but was feeling like switching it up this time. The wrap was delicious, but SO MESSY! I ended up having to eat it with a fork and knife! However, the pita was nice and soft, and I loved everything I put in the wrap - just a messy meal. Will probably stick to bowls for the most part, but I liked being able to try something new! read more

food is good . I always get the same chicken wrap or bowl. The workers are always pleasant

Love this spot, I come all the time. Service is fast and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!

Red hair in bowl, absolutely disgusting. She (server) wasn't wearing a hat. What a loss of appetite. Won't be buying from this location

Tampa is most definitely the city of bowls, so I was super excited to visit the new kid on the block and see what CAVA is all about. Boy they did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is spacious with a clean aesthetic and lots of seating room. The menu was easy to navigate: they have curated bowls, pitas, and salads that you can customize, or you can build your own from scratch. The employees were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. I ended up going with the Hot Harissa Chicken bowl (spicy) that they curated, but I exchanged cucumbers for kalamata olives. I opted for two dressings on the side- the hot harissa vinaigrette the bowl paired with, and the lemon herb tahini to try. I also got a small fountain drink, making my total roughly $18. The bowl was PACKED. I can easily make two meals out of the bowl. It included rice, greens, chicken, pickled onions, fire roasted corn, kalamata olives, half of an avocado, feta, and hummus. There was so much flavor packed into it and it all worked well together. The chicken definitely had a kick but was easily cooled by the avocado and the hummus. The pickled onions had great acidity, and the corn was sweet and savory. Even though the bowl was great, my favorite part was the fountain drink selection. Those drinks kicked some serious butt. The pineapple apple mint juice was out of this world beaming with flavor, and the blueberry lavendar had me searching Google for a copycat recipe. If you see me in CAVA only grabbing a drink like it's a coffee shop, don't mind me! read more

LOVE CAVA. I only give it a 3 star review because every time I order online to be delivered some items are missing or I'm not getting the extra protein I pay for. In store, it's always a great experience however price is different every time I go. Just wish there was more consistency on quantity and price, please pay closer attention to online orders. read more

A welcome addition to the fast bowl dining scene in Tampa. Pros: 1. The bowls are customizable with unlimited toppings. 2. Different and unique types of protein, such as lamb meatballs and different types of chicken. 3. Great rewards program. Cons 1. The toppings are salty 2. Rice has been undercooked/crunchy on more than one occasion. In general love the concept of Cava I'm a big fan of other locations. Lots to improve on here, but in time should be solid read more

First timer turned regular here .. this was my first time trying Cava and it's safe to say I will be a regular at this establishment. I had the Classic Grilled Chicken Pita with a side of Falafels + tzatziki and harrisa dips. I paired the lunch with a mixture of the mint cucumber & blueberry lavender juices - amazinggg! The food was well spiced and very flavorful (hard to find in America, I feel that most restaurants are scared and make food bland). The staff was very nice in letting me try different sauces and dips as a first timer and helpful in educating me with what each was made of. The entire space was very clean and well kept. I can wait too go back to try the lamb meat balls!! read more

CAVA - Grilled Chicken Pita with a side of Falafel + sauces & dips. Paired with a mixture of the mint cucumber & blueberry lavender juices! - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We went here today for the first time and were amazed by how great the food was. When we got there every single seat was full, and there was a line wrapped around the entire restaurant to order. The place was clean and well stocked. The employees were all super friendly and helpful. The gentleman who finished up my bowl even took the time to ask how my day was amidst the chaos in there. I had the Market Spice bowl... just subbed the romaine for SuperGreens. It was 10/10. I could eat that everyday. Those spicy falafel were bangin! I also love dips and sauces, so this was right up my alley. My hubs made a bowl with the lamb meatballs. Those were very very good as well. He also really enjoyed his food. We are definitely putting Cava into our rotation. read more

This restaurant is Chipotle style where you make your bowl or pita as you walk through the line. The one nice thing is that they have some predetermined options if you aren't exactly sure what to put inside. I especially appreciated the ease of that option. The food was fine. The kind of place I would go if friends are going but I would never pick myself. Of course our friends who invited it are in love with it so it's probably a preference thing. But the pita chips were AMAZING. Unfortunately the dipping sauce for the chips by itself costs more than the chips but they pack an even more powerful punch together. And they make them fresh when you order. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Definitely get the pita chips. Service was just ok. They were out of the correct lettuce for my bowl and they had only been open an hour or two that day. And my friend had to wait at the counter for a while to get noticed that they had forgotten to ever bring him his chips. read more

My first time trying Cava & it was SO GOOD! Everything was so fresh and the flavors of the food I chose went together so well. The staff was pretty helpful, walking my through the process.

Service was very rude, did not treat customers nicely. She seem to have an attitude with everyone.

Happily surprised by my salad. I can't wait to make another bowl. I especially like the eggplant.

Incredible service from Christian Joseph! He was very friendly, patient and accommodating to both myself and friends. It was my pals first time at Cava, he was very impressed. Thank you! read more

Cava is a typical fast casual restaurant just like chipotle but instead of Mexican food, it's Mediterranean. I really like the idea especially since I like fast casual spots and Mediterranean food so for me it's the best of both worlds. They have some great selections, and way more options than Chipotle. The food looked and tasted fresh. Also they have options pertaining to certain dietary restrictions, for example if you rather exclude carbs then you can replace rice with black lentils. I rather like the food, my only complaint is that I ordered the braised lamb for $3+ and it was super salty. If I'm paying more for a better protein then it shouldn't be overwhelming salty. Aside from that I actually really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Next time I go I'm making sure to order a different protein. read more

Cava is a newly opened mediterranean restaurant in Tampa and it was on our list to have bowl from Cava. So for Sunday brunch we took an opportunity to have mediterranean bowl at Cava. Cava was around 20 minutes from our place in Hyde Park. We soon found the parking near Cava. When we entered the restaurant there was a long queue to order the bowl. We waited in the queue for 20 minutes before we got our chance to order the bowl. From cava we can order chef curated pitas, chef curated bowls and can also order bowls according to your preferences too. Instead of ordering the chef curated bowl we decided to make our own bowl which included yellow rice, Beans, grilled chicken, added different sides to the bowl which included tomato, corn, peas etc. Along with the bowl we also ordered falafel on the side. The bowl was ready in minutes and we had our bowl in cava. There is also seating space available inside. The bowl was delicious, tasty with chicken, rice, beans and different sides that we added. One of the delicious and amazing bowl we had. The falafel we ordered on side was also delicious and made it well. Tasty falafel too. The staff was also good and helped us a lot in ordering the bowl. Amazing mediterranean restaurant to have bowl. read more

AMAZING! I am a picky vegetarian and this was delicious. I made my own pita with the harissa dip (if you like spice this is for you) half falafel and half roasted veggies. Only complaint is the half falafel meant only 2 falafel balls. This wrap is huge and quite messy. It cost me $11.77 which is a good price for what you get. I can not wait to return. The picture included is after I ate more than half. read more

LOVE me some CAVA! When I can't or don't feel like making lunch, I usually order CAVA. My favorites are the spicy lamb meatballs and the falafel, which I usually get in a customizable bowl. I love all the sauce and add-on/extra options available, which I sometimes go overboard. I've sat outside a couple of times, but mostly I order out. read more

This review is for delivery via DoorDash. I ordered on the app, and the food arrived a few minutes ahead of the predicted timeframe. I ordered a grilled meatball grain bowl. I liked the myriad options of toppings and grains and sauces. I also ordered a blondie. The bowl was a decent size. I couldn't quite finish it. As previous reviewers have written, the bowl's presentation was clearly not a concern, but whatever. They didn't skimp on the protein. However, the meatballs were tough, and most of the toppings were really salty. My husband ate the blondie. It was tiny (like barely 1.5" square) and not freshly made (in plastic). Not worth it. read more

If you've wondered what cava is like, its like chipotle style but only better! It's a Mediterranean twist on the build your own bowl or pita fast casual restaurant. I've been in store roughly 10 times but ordered delivery about half and each time is better than the last. Here's my first order: Saffron rice Splendid greens Tzatziki Harrissa honey chicken Feta Roasted corn With a side of pita. Now, I ordered this simply because of Tik tok not knowing that the honey chicken was incredibly spicy (not a huge spice fan) but this bowl nonetheless was so worth it. I decided to change it to a kids meal and order the exact same thing but swap out the honey chicken for grilled and it was perfect! I love the ambience and the customer service every time I come in. The workers are always knowledgeable and informative especially if it's your first time or fiftieth ! read more
