    Harissa Avocado! Yummmmm!
    Jennie C.

    This place is awesome! Friendly staff, quick service, tasty food! We loved our Cava experience! Visiting from out of town and this was a lighter option- but don't let it fool you, it's a lot of food! Couldn't finish my entire bowl! Highly recommend!

    Super duper busy on a Friday around noon. The line was almost out the door! But we don't have a ton of Cava Restaurants in Washington State, where I'm from, and I really wanted to try this chain. In fact when it was our turn to order they were out of rice, lettuce and harissa chicken so we had to wait even longer. Most of the self serve teas were empty too. Honestly it took about 25-35min to get through the line. And the staff seemed very overwhelmed and unhappy. I thought that would have been a perfect time for the store manager to be there helping out and encouraging the crew but it didn't appear that that person was around. My friend suggested that I make my own bowl with tasty harissa chicken. Don't forget to ask for your pita! Otherwise you don't get it. Then I added so many extras to my bowl, like lettuce hummus, tzatziki sauce, extra veggies, shaved Brussels, marinated cucumbers, cabbage, grilled corn and broccoli . It ended up being a delicious light and healthy lunch that you could probably turn into 2 meals. I was so full half way into the bowl that my husband ate my much anticipated pita bread. I wasn't even mad about it though! Overall I was glad that I waited in line to try Cava and I will definitely be back but probably not to this location (mainly because I don't live close by). But I do hope the employees at this location get some help from management during the lunch or dinner rush in the future.

    There's a new Cava location here in Waco! We love going to Cava whenever we're in Georgetown so it's nice to know we can get a nice healthy meal here in town. We got lucky when we went since there were only 2 people in line before us. We noticed after we received our food there were about 8 groups of customers in line waiting to be served. I'm assuming the line was longer due to the popularity and newness rather than the speed of service. Plus the place being as new as it is they are probably getting used to the recipes and ingredients. The line moved a long for us though and we had our food in no time. The food was fresh and good as always. It tasted a lot like the Georgetown location so I only have good things to say about that. Of course the sweet soda alternatives are great here. The Mint Cucumber lime lemonade combo is my favorite. I mix 3/4th a cup of mint cucumber lime and the rest lemonade. It's delicious. The bathroom is a weird situation. They keep the doors locked with a code combination and since it's a combination lock you need to knock before you put in the code. Probably because the code bypasses the lock and you can easily walk in on someone. Since it's an all gender restroom you can possibly see someone of the other gender doing their business. I would recommend them installing normal door locks rather than the combination. Maybe the combination is due to the higher % of homeless people on the area but it's not very convenient for the customers. All and all I recommend giving this place a shot. 4/5 food 4/5 atmosphere 3.5/5 service

    Food is good if you ever get it. Usually takes about 30 mins of standing around to get through the line. Lock in cava.

    The service was awful, waited in line for an hour and a half for them to get my order completely wrong. It wasn't even close.

The staff are always friendly and the food here is amazing!! We came back last Friday to celebrate my birthday. I was so happy to find out that they now take reservations using the Open Table app. It was super easy to use and I booked my reservation a few weeks prior to getting into Waco. We were greeted by the friendly hostess who seated us promptly since we had reservations. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my husband ordered the farm breakfast. We ordered the kids breakfast for our 3 year old which came with pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. We also ordered a side of biscuits with strawberry jam. We got our food hot and made fresh to order. The croissant sandwich was filling and delicious. The croissant was super fluffy and light. Everything was perfect!!! Our son told us that he loved his pancakes. Our waiter came by frequently to check on us and make sure everything was made to our liking. 10/10 recommend for their high quality service and food. We will be sure to continue to keep coming back again and again whenever we're in Waco.

To start I had the strawberry margarita to celebrate my day off of work. It was very tasty and just the right amount of strawberry flavor. Refreshing. Since I was dining solo I didn't get any appz. I got the farm eggs Benedict and like I said the flavors were all good but wish it was as a little warmer. But it was a great portion. I ate it all! This was my first dinning experience here. There are lots of tables and the atmosphere is open and welcoming. After my meal I went to the take away area and got the lemon lavender donut holes to take home to the husband. And I grabbed a chai latte with oatmilk to keep me going for my warrants of the day. The drink was comforting and warm and the chai was perfect. Later I tried the donut holes. And oh wow they were amazing!

That's why I was genuinely disappointed to find out that the chicken Caesar sandwich has been removed from the menu. It might seem like a small change, but for regular customers like me, that sandwich was a standout item and one of the main reasons I kept coming back. It had a great balance of flavor and felt like a reliable go-to every time. Taking it off the menu without a comparable replacement feels like a missed opportunity and, honestly, a bit frustrating. I completely understand that menus evolve and restaurants need to make changes, but it would mean a lot to see fan-favorite items like this either return or be replaced with something similar. Milo's still has a lot going for it, which is why this change stands out even more. Hoping this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended--supportive, but coming from a very disappointed regular.

In particular the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts caught my eye, unfortunately the latter was sold out so I went with the sweet potato Both dishes I had were really good! The candied bacon paired really nicely with the creamy deviled egg, the hot sauce vinaigrette didn't add too much flavor, but honestly adding a significant amount of heat would've probably taken away from an already very tasty dish. The baked sweet potato on the other hand had a nice dose of heat from the Calabrian honey vinaigrette, the sweet heat combo worked really, I'm surprised I'd never come across a spicy sweet potato dish before, but I'll definitely have my eye out for it in the future Overall I had a very good experience and will definitely be back for future rest stop meals between Austin and Dallas!
