CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Absolutely terrible experience at CAVA tonight. My friends and I came in expecting a normal dinner, only to be told that we had to sit outside because they had decided to close the dining room early. The way this was handled was honestly the worst part. When we questioned why we couldn't eat inside when the restaurant was still open, Hannah was incredibly rude and argumentative. Instead of simply explaining the situation or apologizing for the inconvenience, she argued with us and made the entire interaction unnecessarily unpleasant. I completely understand that restaurants have closing procedures and employees need to get off work. What I don't understand is treating paying customers like they're an inconvenience because they happened to come in before the posted closing time. If the dining room is going to close early, that should be clearly communicated to customers--not sprung on them and followed by an attitude when they ask about it. We left feeling genuinely unwelcome. There are plenty of places to spend our money, and after this experience, CAVA won't be one of them. Management should seriously address how this was handled and the way customers are spoken to. read more

Awesome meditteranean place with great service and good quality healthy food. I absolutely love Cava ! This is the best one for making perfect lentil. Everyhing was perfect. Loved it, nice ambience. Not too crowded during the lunch time. Line moved fast and mostly folks picked up the food and left. Falafel bowl with mixed greens and lentils.. yum. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I'm here on a weekly basis. I'm surprised I've never posted a review. While I've encountered some hiccups with my orders here and there, I return and prefer this location over any others. The staff is always friendly and are usually hard at work helping the influx of customers that tend to frequent the restaurant. I have been indulging in the new salmon bowls lately - customized to my liking. I'm so happy it was added to the menu and I hope it stays! I love to get a super & power greens bowl w/ chicken and falafel as well. I don't ever stick around to dine in, but there's plenty of space. read more

Cava has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants ever since I discovered the wonderful flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Recently, I tried out a new location in Town Center. The aesthetic, the vibes, the whole feng shui of the place just worked. It's one of those restaurants where you instantly want to pull out your phone and take a few pictures because the space is that inviting. I love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you're looking to soak up some fresh air or enjoy the cool comfort inside, you'll have a great spot to sit. The food? Always fresh, flavorful, and consistent exactly why Cava stays in my top tier of go-to spots. This location has now officially been added to my list of regular stops. read more

Cava is a quick and light staple. This location was very busy. However the server accommodated my change request to my bowl with a smile. I typically get the Harris's Chicken + Avocado bowl with the not spicy chicken. And change a few of the toppings. The warm side of pita is always yummy as well! I do enjoy their lemonade. Whether you're coming for a quick bite to go, a business meeting, or just time with family, I recommend CAVA. read more

CAVA - Spicy Chicken + Avocado - Mediterranean Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This is my favorite Cava to go to. It's busy but the quality is usually spot on. The workers are kind and efficient and importantly the food is absolutely delicious. Even when it's packed I usually can find a place to eat as well. It's a great atmosphere to eat for lunch or dinner. I like to grab a few bites in the restaurant before taking the rest home. A bowl with honey harissa chicken or the kids meal are my go tos. The crazy feta is my favorite dip and the cucumber mint drink mixed with lemonade is my favorite drink. I also loveeee the salted oat cookie they sell at the register for the perfect treat afterwards. read more

Well first sorry we didn't take pictures. But let me say this was a total 5 star experience. We all had make your own bowls and they were great. Also need to say the pita chips were amazing. As for the location: Everything was clean and appeared well taking care of. Our service was also fantastic. Our server took good care of us. Now I know this is a chain joint and I can't speak on the rest of their locations but CAVA Pembroke was on their game when we visited. read more

Butchered my friend and I's pick up order (leaving stuff of mine/adding things to hers she didn't ask for). Chicken was good and veggies tasted fresh, just seemed lacking attention to detail. read more

Slowest CAVA in the chain. Go the Lynnhaven branch on Sabre Street -- it's so much faster and cleaner and better (and easier to park).

your employees are a joke. All the employees act like I'm not a customer standing right there needing assistance. Continuously asking employees questions just to get ignored. Like I said, I had to ask multiple times with absolutely no response or interaction at all. I get looked at and they just walk away or completely ignore you. I'm trying to pick up an order that was already done and it seems like nobody cared. Not just me but multiple other customers asking for assistance standing around as well being unable to get any kind of response. I understand if you have a bad day, but when you actively have somebody standing there, asking you questions multiple times you shouldn't be ignored. A simple "we're working on it" or "let me check" should suffice but no response at all just to get mean mugged is absolutely unacceptable. Would rate this less than 1-star if it allowed me read more

Customer service is horrible! No hello, can I help you, what the hell do you want ... nothing! Just a blank stare. Both employees making the food were lacking basic customer service skills! When I got to the register there was finally a smiling face! He was super friendly! The meal could have been perfection, which it wasn't, but the customer service ruined it for me! read more

I have come to this particular store several times. The first time, was absolutely fabulous... 2nd time.. was good, today... just maybe ok. They were very low on the green selections...I ask for a pita and stated that I didn't care if I had to pay extra.. ok... the portions... were just ok. i got home and i have a quarter of a pita... the meat and falafal was cold... very disappointed... i felt that I was more of a bother that they had to wait on me... Guess that is why I go to traditional places versus fast food... Live and learn... read more

I'd give this location 2 stars. The food itself is great and the place seemed clean, but the overall experience wasn't the best. The ambiance felt really crowded, and getting our food took much longer than expected. They kept mixing up orders, which added another 10 minutes to the wait. The workers were friendly, but the process felt disorganized. They also forgot to give me my receipt and the sauces I asked for on the side, which was frustrating after already waiting so long. The line was packed and people were squeezing past without even saying excuse me, which made it even more uncomfortable. I'd recommend going on a less busy day if you want to enjoy the food without the chaos. read more

Can't say enough a wonderful things about this place and the staff super friendly always accommodating always great food always clean

Cava Town center Since this was our first time here, we had to rely on the staff to help us step through the process of building a bowl or pita. Everyone there was very helpful and patient. We came during a busy time, and it was nearly 90% full and yet we never felt rushed by the staff. I built a bowl of brown rice, black lentils, olives, red pepper humus, and some terrific sweet and spicy chicken. The food was very fresh, and I felt rejuvenated after eating it! My wife had a Greek salad, slightly modified with shredded beef and chicken which was also fresh and delicious. The garlic dressing was exquisite. There are many options for building a bowl or a pita sandwich. You could go with grains and protein, or grains, greens and protein or just greens. They're also some interesting looking curated meals to select from. We will definitely return here because the food was healthy delicious and we both felt great afterwards. read more

CAVA arrived in Virginia Beach pre COVID and only had one opportunity to check them and dined in. Fast forward three years and change I find myself a big fan. The Town Center location is now their second on the city with other being in the Princess Anne area. It's a very popular fast casual that's caught fire and typically is crushed during lunch hour. My daughter has been one of those frequent lunch visitors. Parking is an half star deduction because it typically is challenging. Also parking near the building is too tight with a narrow path. Uber Eats and others line up in front for delivery orders. It gets very congested. Once inside it's a nice atmosphere with plenty of natural light, high ceilings and open floor plan throughout. Jump in line and look at the menu board choices and wow there are choices. Get bowls that are set with fresh ingredients, or customize to your specifications. Or go wild and completely build something original. Often you will have enough for leftovers. I have enjoyed the Lemon Chicken several times and left everything as described. My last was chicken and right rice. Don't skip on their specialty fountain drinks. I adore the Blueberry as does my daughter. The staff overall is more friendly than not. Checkouts have been smooth. If you say eat in you can get a real bowl... THANK YOU! No tip on card, cash only. I will be back and need to be more adventurous. Keep in mind you can also enjoy alfresco. read more

Cava is one of my favorite places to eat for a quick and delicious Mediterranean bowl. Since I was in the area, I headed there around 9pm and thankfully they were still open (many places in the area close by 9pm). Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was how messy the food area was. In previous visits, the food area has been very clean but maybe they were just busy that night and hadn't had the time to clean it. As I was selecting my bowl options, the first girl preparing my bowl didn't seem quite friendly which was also abnormal but I didn't pay it any mind. For my bowl, I chose the Grilled Chicken with a little Supergreens and Saffron Basmati Rice. I also included the Roasted White Sweet Potatoes (they are delish) with Corn, Tomato & Cucumber & Cabbage Slaw and topped it with lots of Crumbled Feta. I like my sauces on the side so I can pour as much or little as I want and my favorite go-to sauces are the Garlic Dressing, Hot Harissa Vinaigrette and the Skhug. The bowls are also served with pita bread. My bowl tasted amazing as always! I absolutely love Cava and will definitely return, I just hope the staff is a little more friendly next time and the food area is a more tidy. read more

First time for me to try CAVA. Love this place. Got here on Saturday late afternoon and still there's a line, indicative of the following CAVA has. I ordered to go: lemon chicken bowl with everything on it, pita and dressing on the side (VERY lemony!!) Everyone was so efficient in their "assembly line" of making those bowls, salads of pitas. The ingredients are very fresh (brown edges on the lettuce or bruises on spinach!), pickled onions are good, tahini and hummus are spot on. The roast chicken serving was generous and perfectly seasoned. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended! read more

Great place, fresh food and fantastic staff. Price is really good for the amount of food as well.

I love CAVA it's probably my favorite fast food restaurant. I ordered CAVA today off of Uber eats and I get a call from my delivery driver saying that they were out of both white and brown rice and lentils. How can you be out of rice at an establishment like CAVA? That's like Taco Bell or chipotle running out of rice. I think it's pure laziness and they just didn't want to make more rice before they close (2 hours prior btw). It's annoying as someone who's paying money for it. I'm not one to leave reviews, but it's really really lazy and annoying and this is coming from someone who is only worked in food service their entire life. Do better. read more

I ordered grain and salad bowl for delivery from CAVA and they barely filled the bowl up halfway. There was barely a grain or salad in the bowl. The food I got was good but with the competition and other restaurants that would've given me a filled up bowl for less the price, this is not ok. read more

Cava is the best. This location is usually busy nonstop so expect to wait about 15-35 minutes in line to order. My wait was about 30 minutes.

Nothing beats cava for me! It's my version of 'fast food' that I don't have to feel guilty about. It's always made fresh and the service is always great. I wish the location wasn't so close to the busy street but it doesn't stop me from driving around to avoid any collisions. I typically do curbside but I have eaten inside several times and it's been great. Always clean, and as soon as patrons leave someone is cleaning the tables. They also have outdoor seating. read more

Very disappointed with my recent visit. The girl behind the counter clearly didn't know what she was doing, and she was the only one there serving food. By the time we finally got our order, it was cold. She didn't seem properly trained, and the place was nearly empty -- now I understand why. Cava used to be good. I won't be coming back. read more

First time every trying Cava with my friend after the gym so I had no clue what to order. The employees behind the counter assisted me and asked what I liked and didn't like and gave me samples to try before I made a decision. The chicken had so much flavor, the rice was also delicious. It's a casual restaurant that you can stop at for lunch or to grab a quick bite after the gym. Would def recommend. read more

I went to cava's on Virginia Beach Blvd. I never ever have. I had a bad service but this time there was a young man when I went in he act like he had a attitude. He was very rude. He didn't say hi and smile didn't I told him what I wanted he just started throwing stuff into my bowl to wear. I started to walk out, but I really enjoy the food and I really didn't want this young man to mess up my experience cause I do continue to come back, but I just didn't like this young man's attitude. He was the guy that was fixing the bowl . I didn't get his name, but I was very very very disappointed in my service and I never ever have gotten service like that before I think I will try the other location on Saber maybe those employees like their job because he sure didn't act like he liked his job he put in brown avocado didn't even make the bowl appetizing and put the Harissa sauce to cover up the bad avocado he didn't even ask if I wanted a pita bread if they were charging for it, I would've been gladly to pay for it, but he didn't even ask. He was so rude. read more

This is one location that's decent however they allow delivery drivers take orders without confirmation. So I'm out of 33.59 plus lunch smh

After hanging out at Gelati Celesti, my girlfriend and I headed her for some lunch. Basically they're like Chipotle where you stand in line and order your food for either dine-in or takeout. At Cava, they serve Mediterranean food which can be a bit healthier. So, what was the result? Once we got in line, it was very simple to order your meal. For me it was a pita which included the following: grilled chicken, saffron basmati rice, black lentils, hummus spread, Tzatziki spread, roasted eggplant spread, fire-roasted corn, cabbage slaw, tomato/onion salad and Tahini Ceasar dressing along with Cava's bottled water. Basically, this was an equivalent of ordering everything but the kitchen sink. Overall, it was good even though it was a lot to where you couldn't close the pita wrap. And eventually, I had to use a fork to eat. The only negative was I thought the black lentils would've been a little smoother instead of hard. Next time we come back, I'll just stick with a hummus spread and rice. But again, the meal was good. Not a bad first time to Cava. And we did come at a good time because when we got seated, the line went across the floor for ordering. Talk about timing! We will be back, most likely at the Cava closer to us in Newport News. read more

CAVA - Look at the massive pita!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I visited Virginia Beach for a track and field event and got food. Staff departed before checkout, which resulted in my food being served incompletely. To make matters worse, they did not give me a spoon or fork to eat my food with, no explanation. when i brought it to their attention, they told me they were out of eating utensils. read more

Cava is good. For just under $15 you can indulge in greens, grains and a bunch of amazing toppings. My go to is building my own Greens and Grains bowl. I opt for 1/2 Black Lentils 1/2 Super Greens Hummus Harissa Spicy Hummus Cabbage Salad Pickles Grilled Chicken Avo Topped with Lemon Tahini and Greek dressing. Seriously so good. Each bowl includes a mini pita, great for dipping. 4 stars because freshness is a hit and miss and although friendly the customer service is a bit slow. Store is kept pretty clean, a few cold beverage options available and packaged desserts. Cava is a great substitution for Fast Food Take out. read more

Yuuuummmmmm. I loved this spot! CAVA is like one of those places I feel like is made for me. Quick, to-go salad bowls with hummus and fresh, warm pita bread?! The gods have spoken. Ha! Easy in and out because it's located in the shopping center with Ulta and Shake Shack off Virginia Beach Blvd near Town Center. Loads of shopping and food nearby. We did the chicken mediterranean salad without olives and it was seriously delicious - we tore it apart in like 2 minutes. Salad base or rice base with all kinds of fresh veggies mixed in to your tastes and you can easily sub and add more of a certain item if you'd like. These all come with warm pita and you can get a fountain drink or one from the cooler. Plenty of seating inside or easy to take to-go. Delish! And healthy. Think - Chipotle but better. read more

They're always missing items if you order online and do pickup in store. Utensils were also missing.

Luckily if you email customer service, they credit you back your missing food. read more

I go to this location all the time, and have no issues. Tonight myself and my girlfriend visited, and a particular staff whom I didn't catch the name of (working on the night of June 18, 2025) was extremely disrespectful and LAZY. We had to BEG her to go to the storage and get toppings that they didn't have out at the station, and she blatantly lied to our faces and told us they didn't have sauces, which another employee then revealed to the customer after us. My girlfriend was upset, and went back into the store to get sides of sauces because she saw another gentleman request them. The employee she spoke with (possibly the manager) told my girlfriend to go to the line and ask the same employee as before, who was AGAIN disrespectful towards her and treated retrieving sauces as if it was a strenuous task. EXTREMELY unpleasant experience. read more

This used to be our go to place for bowls but lately the portions have been small and you are limited to sauces, etc. Service is okay sometimes and poor others. There are enough tables and the place is clean. Mezza is a good option if you like bowls. read more

What is all the talk about I asked myself? This location has been open for months and I have yet to see what it's all about, that is until the aroma of savory deliciousness hit me, while walking into Barnes & Nobles.. I walk in and no greeting but I look at the crowd and quickly follow to make a line. As I approach I am asked what type of base I would like in my bowl and I am happy with all the option. You can choose a bed of greens. Basmati rice, lentils, just right rive or go crazy like I did and choose 50/50. What the heck. Go hard or go home. I chose the Super Greens and Just Rice Rice( which is not rice) for a $1 up charge. I added roasted eggplant and two types of Hummus and my mix ins.... Uuuuu weeeee momma! Now I'm getting hungry and excited It's protein time! I see some freshly grilled chicken and so I point quickly like a kid in a candy store and also the Harissa Honey chicken which is the most popular. Now it's time to make it rain! With toppings that is... I was advised that there is NO LIMIT! Ok now I'm sure I am doing a happy dance I add a little bit of everything. And add a side of falafel I am given warm pita bread and choice of sauces for my bowl. For a little under $14 I was able to make two meals out of one bowl. I wasn't able to eat the entire bowl in one sitting. Overall I must say that I really enjoyed my Mediterranean Bowl and I can see me returning and getting a healthy meal while I am on the go. I love al the variety and options. The food was flavorful and the staff were pleasant and efficient. read more

my kids meal was just right and service was fast I will definitely be back here with my family

Wow, excellent! Wasn't sure what to expect, but the outside looked pretty cool so we decided to check it out. I ordered a honey chicken + avocado, and it was outstanding. The nice thing is as with many of these new restaurant types you can see something you like and ask to have it added, which is great as I added black lentils to mine. They also put 1/2 of an avocado on it! The quality of the ingredients seemed very good, and the entire visit inspired my wife and me to stop by the grocery store and pick out ingredients to see if we could recreate our orders. The reason is, CAVA is in VA Beach Towne Center, and we live in North Suffolk. Hopefully CAVA will consider expanding to our area soon. read more
