We were in the mood for something fresh and tasty for lunch today after shopping. CAVA has always been a favorite option for us ever since our daughter introduced it to us several years back when she was in college. This location offered fast and friendly service which was perfect for our level of hunger. Win, Win! The dining room was clean, and well stocked with paper napkins and plastic ware. But, I placed our orders to go. We truly enjoyed our greens and grains bowls that included the supergreens and brown rice for the base. I chose grilled chicken for my bowl and since my husband prefers spicy, I chose harissa honey chicken (extra charge) for his bowl. The variety of hummus flavors, toppings, and dressings make every meal taste so good! read more

Look at my friend's order (above) made in person with no add ons and compare with my order (below) made online with no add ons. Both $11 by the way. Guess I'll only be ordering in person in the future. Food was good but the poor portion size is frustrating. Might as well have ordered a kid's meal, which is ~2/3 of the price. read more

I loved my chicken avocado pita but hubby wasn't pleased with his sparse amount of lamb meatballs. His bowl was too small. Hubby had a taste of mine and said I won. It was a huge pita, but I couldn't finish it. Service is the same, pick out what you want or don't want and at the end they tally it up. Helps if you have the Cava membership to get points added on. The area was loud as there was a large crowd at 2:15 pm, but happy to see younger people eating healthy. read more

CAVA - Greens + Grains Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Food was good and fresh. Service was good and fast. They had a big selection of different drinks. The pita bread was soo soft I definitely recommend read more

Beware! I've been going to this Cava several times a week for the past year. While the experience hasn't always been great--issues with portion sizes, cleanliness, and occasional overcharging--I kept giving it another chance. My last two visits, however, were the final straw. On one visit, I asked for a large cup for water after spending about $40. I was told it would cost $4. I even spoke to the manager, who confirmed this was their policy. Charging a paying customer $4 for a water cup--something that likely costs the company only a few cents (around 4-6¢)--felt unreasonable and completely out of touch. On my most recent visit, I ordered two bowls with chicken and asked to add an extra portion of salmon to one. I specifically asked the price beforehand and was told it would be $4. When I received my bill, I was charged double for the salmon. When I questioned it, they insisted the charge was correct--bringing the cost of that add-on close to the price of an entire bowl. Beyond pricing issues, the condition of the restaurant has declined significantly. On my last visit, the place was visibly dirty--food on the floors and counters, messy prep areas, and empty, unclean pans throughout. The combination of inconsistent pricing, questionable practices, and poor cleanliness is unacceptable. I won't be returning. read more

Great food has variety of different flavors and very good service highly recommended quantity is always more than enough

Pricey for a salad. Got their Lamb with mixed greens and several toppings plus their fried pita No drink. $20 later I had a large salad. Food was fresh and good but $29 for a salad? read more

We enjoy the food, service in house is reasonable, order ahead during lunch rest is not so ideal but overall quality and consistency makes this a go to place for us for lunch. Also clean and friendly staff. read more

The worker who brought us our pick-up meal was amazing!! She is kind and interested in the wellbeing of her customers! I am so sorry I did not get her name. Great location, great service! read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional. Greeted with a smile- very helpful with deciding what to order. I would highly recommend this great healthy restaurant with exceptional staff! read more

The location is clean and well-lit, and the staff is very friendly. The selection of toppings is really cool and there's a great assortment of Mediterranean choices. The flavors are all really varied and enjoyable. All of the veggies were freshly cut and tasty. It's easy to craft a unique creation to suit your tastes and preferences. I will caution that there are some sneaky hidden fees, so be careful when you order, as the up charges can sneak up on you: one type of chicken is $1 more and the avocado is a $2.05 up charge! Also, the quality of the chicken isn't the greatest, but it's not out of line for the market segment; it's no worse than one might find at Chipotle or Panera. But it's something to be aware of in making decisions. I think if you're after a vegetarian option, it would be really fantastic. read more

Absolutely love this Cava. I hate perhaps my best cava meal from this location. I recommend this order 10/10 times. Details below: Start with grain bowl - half brown rice, half RightRice, harissa, red peppe hummus and crazy feta, half grilled chicken, half sweet potato, pickled onions, dash of Persian cucumbers, pita crisps, avocado, feta and harissa vinaigrette to top. Of course don't forget the free side of pita! Happy ordering! read more

CAVA - Custom grain bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Love the chef-curated bowls - steak & harissa and chicken and rice! Great service! Plenty of seating for dining in. We'll be back.

Amazing!!! So much better than chipotle! And the area is clean as well!! And the service was immaculate and they were very kind! read more

Cava is phenomenal. The locations are all consistent and so flavorful. I love the amount of veggies options they give and the freshness of everything. This location has always been friendly and patient (we have kiddos). The only negative is it's always freezing in there . read more

Service was impeccable! So kind, accommodating and patient with us, as it was our first visit. The woman offered to us, samples of sauces and made insightful and thoughtful suggestions based on our interests. My salad and rice bowl was perfect with roasted veggies and falafel. The sauces put it over the top! My picky son who was skeptical about coming here was pleasantly surprised with his braised lamb pita. He now believes he invented a genius concoction with his choice of sauce mash up. I'm just glad he gets it and will now encourage this choice to eat. The dining area is very modern and clean for a quick service restaurant. read more

CAVA - Falafel and roasted veggies bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I'm from St. Louis so this was my first experience with CAVA. Y'all. It was absolutely worth the hype! The restaurant was clean and the service was so friendly and patient with a first time guest. I would have given it 5 stars, but my one honest complaint is that the lentils were a bit underdone to the point of being crunchy. (But if you like them that way, then definitely get the lentils!). Everything else was beyond fabulous and I love feeling like I'm eating whole, largely plant-based foods. I'll definitely be back! read more

CAVA - Create your own bowl with Falafel and Lamb Meatballs - Mediterranean Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

YAS, Williamsburg CAVA! By far the best location I've visited for so many reasons. You work hard - front of house AND kitchen, you communicate with each other when things are running out and the turnaround to replace these items is quick, you're efficient and get through a line of people with no problems, you seem well staffed at the busiest times and I haven't met anyone here with an attitude. In fact, I come here because staff are so friendly and they're not stingy with toppings. I'm a make-your-own bowl kinda gal and always ask for the free pita, and my go to is always the basmati rice with arugula, harissa chicken for protein, spicy and traditional hummus and then as many toppings as possible. The fresh lemonade juice is also the right balance of tart and sweet. Don't forget to download the app! When you're spending money, the rewards add up quickly! read more

The food is fresh, taste good and have plenty of options. We all enjoyed it very much. And the people that works there are kind and helpful. Keep on the good work. read more

Nice variation on fast food but keeping it healthy. Build your own bowls or pitas with a variety of greens, grains , meats snd vegetables. Sauces range from sweet to spicy and there's enough variety for everyone. read more

Ikeem was the best! So, so good and always clean. Definitely would recommend to anyone and everyone who is in the area! :)

The girl that was doing the food wasn't pleasant at all. They were out of falafel, olives, feta and crazy feta hummus. Wasn't very clean flies on stuff and they didn't care. It was not even closing time only 6:00 pm.. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Found 4 olive pits in mymeal and because I paid cash, corporate will not give me a refund Bad customer service and quality control read more

Excellent choices for a healthy meal. Vegetarian options. Lunch was delicious. Falafel and mixed greens were delicious. Hummus is excellent too read more

Pricey, but super tasty. Good location near New Town & other healthy food locations. Staff nice. Could do better to explain the process of build a bowl/salad. read more

Love it! A go to spot for a healthy and tasty lunch! Friendly team -- even during busy times!

usually pretty decent. but today showed me their online system isn't great. placed an order for pick up in 15 minutes. they were behind. took about 50 minutes to get my order and it was wrong. read more

Quality of service has gone down tremendously since they have reached the "No longer new store era" when more mistakes are made, not paying attention to detail, quantity isn't the same etc.... read more

My first time trying Cava as I heard they have plenty of GF options. I decided to place an online order for curbside pickup as I had my dog in the car after making a trip for grocery pickup. I know everyone is experiencing longer wait times and being short staffed. I placed my order for 630p. I pulled up at 6:24pm and called the number as instructed. I called 4 times with no answer. I could see the long line inside but if they are such short staffed they shouldn't offer curbside until there is enough staff in place. I unfortunately ran in at 6:35pm to see if my order was ready as again my dog was in the car. A young man checked twice. I went back to my car and there were other people in the designated spots not receiving an answer and running in as well. I was honestly about to just leave and lose $11. The young man ran out at 6:50p handed me my order and threw in a cookie and drink for the wait time. Although I'm unable to eat the cookie I really appreciated this and wish I got his name. On to the food I built my own bowl and it was quite tasty. I will say it's the experience for me and this unfortunately outweighs the taste of the food. I probably won't be back to Cava. read more

Do not order online unless you have unlimited time and are willing to watch 11 - yes 11 orders in store go through the line in store - in front of you. Ordered at 3:05, received order - one bowl - at 3:50. The kitchen staff is sooooo slow. Just ridiculous. read more

Was excited to try the food here, but after choosing two bowls and toppings, I tried to check out. They don't take cash. No exceptions. There was no signage letting me know this important time, and my Apple Pay didn't work. Despite the $80 in my pocket, they'd rather throw away two bowls of already prepared food than take my money. Dumping good food pointedly in the trash makes a certain about about who you are and what you care for. Thanks for sharing who you really are, Cava owner. read more

The worse ever falafel pita. So gross, soggy wet and tasteless . All I tasted was pickles and pickles juice. There were 4 really small falafels, maybe the size of a quarter. Outrageous cost too. Beware of CAVA's. BTW, no ice in machine for drinks, loud echoes of talking. read more

Had no clue this place existed til I was looking for a healthy dinner option while running errands in the area. A quick peek at their menu and I decided to give it a try. I did a build your own bowl. I love that I can customize my options to make it low carb. My bowl was absolutely delicious chciken was super flavorful and i loved the tzatziki. I will definitely be returning to try some of their other protein options, especially the lamb. Staff was friendly. read more

Has outdoor seating but only for service animals, so if you are traveling with a pet try another restaurant.

Thank you so much to the lady who helped me with mobile order gone wrong. ( I can't remember her name) It went to the wrong state but she helped me get my food while I was trying to re-order it and my phone refused to load! Thank you so much for great customer service! read more
