First time here. Food was delicious. We came here on a Friday night. There was plenty of lobby and outside seating. Ordered a salmon bowl and a chicken pita. Great serving sizes. Service was ok. All employees that were taking my order seemed bothered and not interested in providing the service. (It could have also been because it was an hour before they closed, but still). Felt more like an inconvenience when ordering. Again, I'm a first timer, so they probably were just wanting to get through to the next customer, but there was no line. Would still recommend this place for the food, customer service could be better. read more

Sawyer was awesome. I went to cava several times and never was. I asked if I wanted to side of pita. It made my whole experience and when I asked him to put my cold vegetables on a separate bowl, so my protein didn't get cold he didn't look at me weird like most people do I know that should not be bare minimum, but that kind of thing definitely brings me joy. He's a great employee. Hard to find customer service like that way to be. Also, the restaurant was extra clean today two thumbs up all the way up. read more

Okay, so second visit to Cava, with the summer heat, a fresh and flavorful bowl always hits the spot. Now that school is getting back into the swing of things, this location has definitely picked up. There was a small line and many of the tables were occupied. The line moved quickly and the we were able to build our bowls in no time. I had almost the same exact thing as my first experience, lots of fresh veggies, delicious dips, and the delicious harissa pita chips. This time I did try the braised lamb and they had just launched some new dips/sauces for their pita chips, outside their normal line up. We tried the green garlic sauce, which was nice and refreshing! Lamb was good, but for almost a $4-5 dollar upcharge, not sure I would get it again. The service was friendly as well. The real difference in this experience is every single table was so dirty and gross in the entire restaurant. I am not talking just dirty, I mean sticky and food crumbs and overall, with their decent size dining space, we could not find one clean table. I get it, they are busy and it was picking up, but there was multiple times were no one was in line, and they seemed as they were staffed well that I am not really sure why there wasn't someone going out more frequently. On top of that, the bathroom were equally gross and dirty. With this experience, I will most likely keep with takeout or check out other locations. read more

Cava is usually pretty good but it has gone downhill the last couple times I've gotten it. Terrible service, dirty tables everywhere, and smaller portions than previous visits. I don't want to really dive in on my most recent experience but it was horrible. Probably will avoid cava for a while. read more

Food is great but the system is broken. I ordered pick up and at my scheduled time there was still a large queue ahead of me but nobody in-person in line. Asked if I can just go through the in-person line and order like normal and they said no? Not to mention 3 workers making eye contact and walking away when I first tried to talk to someone. Someone fix this please I just want Cava read more

The servings and service is not great. Individual paying infront of me is gripping about the same situation read more

CAVA - Bowl with two meat balls - Mediterranean Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I had a really frustrating experience at CAVA. I placed an online pickup order for 10:30 PM because the website and app both showed that as their closing time. I arrived around 10:20 PM, and the front door was locked while the entire crew inside completely ignored me standing there. After several minutes, someone finally came outside and was extremely rude, saying they had "new summer hours" that apparently just started this week. When I asked about getting a refund since I couldn't even pick up the food I already paid for, they told me there was nothing they could do. If the restaurant is going to close earlier, the app and website should absolutely be updated so customers can't place orders during a time the store won't even be open. Really disappointing customer service and a huge inconvenience. read more

So while my food was not bad... first of all, they forgot my roommates sour cream & onion pita chips so we had to drive back and recover those. Second and worst of all, my roommate had severe food poisoning (from both ends) for at least 8 hours straight, I'm talking laying on the bathroom floor sick. And because she was so sick, she had to reschedule her birthday trip to NASHVILLE, which we are currently on now, and she STILL doesn't feel okay enough to spend a fun night out with us. So for this, I highly recommend you skip Cava, Sincerely, Someone who has never left a Yelp review read more

Food is always fresh, greens are crisp, and the sauces are divine at Cava! I have to give this location four stars for service (poor staff are rushed and understaffed), as well as the dining room's condition (tables are often dirty and have crumbs/trash). I would be able to rate this location five stars if the dining room was cleaner! read more

CAVA - Greens and Grains Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sunday afternoon 5:30 PM, a number of people for takeout, and only a few sit down diners. Many empty tables were dirty and two trash barrels were filled to overflowing. Most disappointing was my Feta steak bowl. The red pepper hummus was not spicy, but sour, and at least eight pieces of the cubed steak were just fatty gristle. On the positive side, my wife liked the pickled onions. read more

I ordered the Greek chicken and it was pretty disappointing, although portion size is good. The chicken was cooked very well. It was unfortunately drowned in vinaigrette to the point where it was overwhelming and you couldn't even eat it would not recommend. read more

Stella and her other female coworker, may 30th at 6:30 were so sweet and courteous!! Amazing team members and our food was great!!

Service was fast and the food is yummy always the best. The location is amazing too !!!

I've loved Cava since I first discovered it but haven't been in awhile. However I keep coming back despite it being in the middle of all the ASU hubbub. It's an incredible alternative to Chipotle and it's my favorite health conscious food spot, they always deliver and the atmosphere there is pretty lively. Lovely sunsets can be seen from this location too however I failed to snap any photos of that. Overall great spot and always worth the trip! read more

Food poisoning. Fell ill, laid out on the bathroom floor after eating here. Save yourself. Avoid!!!!

Love Cava! So many great flavors and always fresh. My kids love Cava too. I usually make my own bowl and haven't tried the pre-set options.

Cava has been a favorite of mine from back east and I'm so happy it made its way to AZ! I made my own bowl and it was so delicious. The chicken is flavorful the veggies are fresh and dips and dressings so good! I can't wait to go back! read more

Ordered a make your own bowl with Brown rice, Grilled chicken and lamb-- all topping and garlic sauce--when taking my first bite I got a small crunch in my teeth, took out the little hard thing and tried another bite and the same thing. Small piece of uncooked rice. I explained to the employees and they refused to throw away the rice in the pot -- unbelievable. Hopefully no one breaks a tooth on uncooked rice today. read more

Management seriously needs to get involved and do something about this location. My review and even those before me, take a hint already! -Line server staff so quiet and inconsiderate. No greeting when you get up to the counter, she just stood there staring at me and I saw her do the same with other customers. -My pita was dripping wet from the chicken (hello, drain it from the spoon when you scoop it). I asked for a new paper wrap and it was still soggy enough to soak my pita. - Dirty tables everywhere! There's even a sign posted in the dining area that tables are sanitized after each use. Not true. If the front looks like this, then how is the back kitchen area? The location is convenient but it isn't worth it when you get a gross meal, bad/rude service, and a dirty, disgusting environment. read more

I'd never been here before but as I had heard, the food was delicious! They had a ton of different options for food and drinks. Very unique drink options like blueberry side and pineapple mint lemonade. My only minor complaint is that the line was super long (not a big deal) but also moving pretty slow. There was only one worker taking orders. The restaurant was very clean considering how busy it was and there was nice outdoor seating. Pricing was a little on the high side for fast casual but not terrible. The parking can also be a little hard as that lot is always packed but that's the nature of the location. read more

I went there for lunch. Not too crowded. Good service, healthy food, very reasonable price, many options.

If Chipotle & Pita Jungle had a baby it would be "Cava". Cava is seriously the best! It's that perfect mix of healthy and actually tastes amazing. We made custom bowls, they come with pita on the side--so good! Everything was super fresh and full of flavor. All the sauces are so good!! Definitely one of my fave spots for a quick meal as they move you through the line quickly. read more

I am fed up with this location. I'm really almost done with the whole food chain because the laziness of preparing the food is diabolical. First I walk in and there's a puddle in front of the refrigerator at the beginning of the order line. No wet floor sign. You almost had a lawsuit on your hand. I'm especially done with the Tempe location. I came in a time before this one. And the rice look like mashed potatoes. And the chicken (much like this very recent visit) is inedible. The chickens always half-ass cut up. Then the chicken is cooked with skin and gristle still attached, and Chewy as hell. Then has the nerve to still have bone in it. I know there's nothing but kids working at this location. But that is no excuse. The manager is not training the employees, clearly. I don't care if that is something you don't normally do. You can't sell supposed to be fillet chicken with boned, skin and gristle on it. Now back to the rice. It's like it's rarely ever cooked right. It either looks like mashed potatoes or it's burnt on the bottom because it's sat all day. The girl literally looked at me. And said, I got the rice from the top not the bottom. I literally saw her flip the bottom of it over that's how I knew it was burnt. I told her if you can see the bottom from the top you're at the bottom. On top of that all the food is always cold. I have reached out to the manager and voiced my concerns. He could care less. I love cava and have spent a pretty penny over the last year or so. I wish I could turn in my points that I have and get my $8 and that doesn't even cover a whole bowl. And be done with this place. The food here is too expensive for this s***. I want to give no stars. Negative Stars If you want a shity fake Chipotle with horrible parking, then come here!!!! read more

Brandon was great, super friendly ! He made the overall experience great and efficient.

Brandon was so fast and helpful and recommended some new options to try out!!!!!!!!!!!

This great place is tucked away in the corner and in the same complex as Trader Joe's. There was a bit of a line but it was worth the wait. The staff ask me along the way if I wanted the change anything and carefully prepared my pita. They placed it on a cute little plate and I was off to my table. There are many drinks to choose from. The iced tea was fresh and delicious. The pita was very soft and the whole thing tasted amazing and was full of flavor. I will definitely be back to try one of the other pitas. read more

Seen this place on yelp, wanted to give it a go. The parking in this area is rough! Just park by the ASU building and walk, it's your best bet. I was in like about 10-15 mins, there was also a "to-go" line by the register, I got through the line faster than those people did, they were waiting forever! I don't think this place has figured out a proficient way to handle both in-person and online orders. I ordered an avocado bowl with honey chicken or something like that. And their limited time ranch pita chips. The place was very chaotic, I almost got charged twice because after I paid they didn't know that I was waiting for my pita chips and rung me up again. And this place was decently pricey. The servings were pretty small, I don't see how the calorie breakdown is accurate at all. The pita chips were just drenched in seasoning. Needless to say, way too chaotic, I wasn't a fan. I won't try this place again, but maybe this is just the place for you. I did however enjoy the cucumber mint water! read more

First time trying CAVA, as it was highly recommended. Upon arrival, the restaurant was fairly busy but things moved along rather quickly and the wait was not excessive. While placing our order, the front line workers were fast, efficient, very communicative and helpful. This made our first time ordering here go very smoothly. I opted for a grain bowl with Saffron, added a couple of protein options , sauces and avocado. My bowl boasted a host of beautiful vibrant colors and rich, robust mouthwatering flavors that mingled together very well. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed sitting outdoors on the open patio. The food is delicious and good quality, although my portion size was a bit underwhelming. Overall, I had a good experience. read more

Hidden gem in Tempe near ASU. It's like a better version of chipotle, upscale and better flavor and Ingredients with a Mediterranean kick. I got the tahini caesar, which is online but wasn't on the menu in the store. I got through the line in 10 minutes and totally worth the wait. The parking outside is busy with all the businesses so just find a parking spot. read more

When ordering delivery via DoorDash, they never - not once - have ever gotten the order right or even remotely close. We get grain bowls and then you're missing 90% of your toppings and then they add random toppings you didn't even want. Disappointing experience for sure. read more

Found a key to a computer keyboard in my food. It was presumably from the station where takeout orders are prepared. I bit down on the keyboard key while eating and it hurt. Took the bowl back in and showed the employees and they remade the bowl and gave me my money back. 1/5 stars. Customers beware the quality control here is not good. read more

Amazing !!!! I love this it is very good and tasty the service is excellent good is amazing l go to this place everyday:)))))))
