I'm not much for chainy counter service restaurants but Cava is definitely different and one I'd go back to. You can opt for bowls or pita wraps, and can build your own with a base (rice or greens), up to 3 dips, a protein and UNLIMITED toppings. I opted for one of the chef creations Harissa avocado bowl with honey chicken ($14) and it slaps. The serving size was super generous, the ingredients were all tasty and fresh and somehow the mix of spicy /Mediterranean just worked. I dare to dream of testing all the toppings in one bowl, I know I know, I dream big... One day... read more

I stopped by for lunch on Friday, November 18, 2022. The restaurant is a company-owned location of the Cava Group who bought out the Zoes Kitchen chain in 2018. Similar to to Zoes, the restaurant serves fast-casual Mediterranean food. On this date, I ordered the Harissa Avocado Bowl which consists of Harissa honey chicken, hot harissa vinaigrette, feta, hummus, corn, avocado and rice. The bowl just had enough spice to add a nice kick without being so overly spicy where I couldn't enjoy what I was eating. I've had other items on their menu and they've all been delicious and tasty. Cava provides a fast, healthy and reasonably priced alternative for the lunch and dinner crowd. read more

CAVA - Harissa Avocado Bowl - Salad Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Finally found something better than Bolay and Chipotle combined! I love the spicy lamb meatball, the staff is friendly and very clean inside. read more

I am so glad I finally stopped by! I had been looking for a good healthy salad place and I was pleasantly surprised! The store has an modern and open concept with inside and outside seating. You get in line to start assembling your order. You can build you own bowl or pita or you can select from the ones listed on the menu. It was my first time here and I went by the staff suggestion of building my own bowl. There are plenty of choices for your base, sauces, toppings, protein and dressings. The harissa chicken is delicious and spicy! The balsamic date vinaigrette is a good way to offset the spice and get some sweetness into the saltiness :) They also have freshly made flavored lemonades that are refreshing and delicious. The cucumber mint, the pineapple apple mint and the blueberry lavender all tasted great and not overly sweet. I will definitely be back and it will be one of my go to's for a healthy and tasty meal. read more

Went in for a hot bowl of food on Saturday evening about 6:45pm ( 1/10/26 ) out of curiosity ,since I had never been to any Cava restaurant before, because I had seen this place get a steady line of customers and thought that was a good sign. I was completely unfamiliar with how their bowls SHOULD look later to realize that the crunchy falafel bowl i was given had completely RAW HARD uncooked lentils, no veggies (hot or other wise) 2 measly sized barely warm Falafel balls. so instead of getting a hot bowl of food and ended up with a cold plate of Salad. and my husband who ordered a chicken bowl (because they said they ran out of Lamb ) they gave him a small amount of chicken (the last scraps of the serving pan) which they obviously should have immediately brought out a fresh batch seeing how it was still early in the evening with a line of customers still behind us and he was given raw crunchy lentils as well. The amount of the bowl was NOT filling at all for a cost of $30 when at Chipotle we've got ALOT more food in our bowl for just $16 ... Within 30 minutes of leaving the place we were hungry again. It was a terrible First experience. IF I ever return to this place, it will be only to speak directly with a Manager about this very thing. read more

My go to place for lunch/dinner, I lost most of my weight spending my money here and I have no problem with that. The different varieties that they have and the freshness they offer is chefs kiss. This location is my favorite I've been to other locations and they don't fill your bowl as they should. Here the service is great as well and they have plenty of room for a gathering. The bowls are about 11 bucks and with a drink and pita chips it usually comes to 16 bucks read more

Cava is hands down amazing! It is a cleaner eating version of Chipotle. You pick what you want or order off the menu and enjoy! The staff were friendly and patient. They explained the items to me, even though there were names on the glass. They didn't rush me either, which felt great. The ingredients were fresh and so tasty. I recommend this for a quick bite, that's tasty and priced well. read more

Best Cava location hands down! They're always right and always on time. Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean. As for the menu, I am obsessed. So fresh and healthy, and there are pita chips and desserts for when you want to round out your meal. I can't get enough. read more

Cava is finally here! I have waiting ever since having in Austin years ago. I went with a "pre-made" bowl, the Harissa Avocado Bowl. It was very fresh and packed with flavor and spicy! I appreciate that the Harissa actually has a bit of a kick, unlike some similar places in Orlando. The build your own is also a great option and you can load up on the toppings. I ordered via mobile, which is easy but had to wait over 30mins past my slotted pickup time. Hope they can work that out moving forward. I know they only opened a few weeks ago. There were about 10 of us waiting and some longer than I had. Ironically I saw the sign on the way out and really hope one day it is true. It would have been nice if a manager or someone would have given updates or offered a beverage, etc. A few of us ended up asking for water. The staff was friendly as people periodically checked in on their orders but they couldn't give any answers. I will happily give a 5th star if this is better my next visit. Check them out! read more

First time here at Cava!! Loved it! Great food, tastes delicious!! Thanks Jose for the great recommendations!!

The food was great and Jose was great to have as our server! Will be coming here again.

I made a build your own bowl and enjoyed every bite! I love the unique ingredients and even though the meat ball portion is only 4, it's definitely enough for left overs! I recommend the harissa and tahini dressing drizzled on top. Also the try the crispy and freshly fried pita chips! Staff are friendly and the natural light coming through the big windows both make for a nice casual lunch spot!! read more

New to Cava. Had only had it one time previously while working in SC. Found this while visiting a friend nearby so took I her. It was the beginning of March 2025. We had no regrets! Very nice clean decent sized restaurant. Appeared new. Great food. We both enjoyed it and had left overs because it's so much food. This is a definite positive with his things are nowadays. Cucumber mint drink delicious and refreshing. Highly recommend to try. It was nice to have something different to drink for a change. We both can't wait to go back! read more

We tried this place for the first time and it was delicious! It was reasonably priced with the bowls 12-14 dollars with additional add ons. The pita chip cost an additional two dollar both it is worth it. The chips were soft and crunchy they were delicious! The bowl is very similar to chipotle but for a Mediterranean vibe!!!. The food was fresh and so were its ingredients. The order the ready for pickup as I ordered through the app. Will return in the future! read more

This might just be my new favorite place! I love bowls that you can customize, but I love them even more when the items to pick from are fresh and healthy! Cava has so many nutritious and delicious options to pick from. I opted for a Cava favorite as it was my first time, I went with the harissa bowl, spicy, savory, and so filling I took half of it home to finish later! This place also has a lot of seating and service is pretty quick and efficient when in line. I can definitely see myself coming back whenever I'm in the area! read more

I was introduced to Cava in DC when I was visiting my sister. I was super excited to hear that they opened about two weeks ago. Since then I've gone three times. The food is good and is basically a Mediterranean chipotle. However, the portions are smaller than what I've seen up north (I think this is also mentioned in reviews before mine). It's a little disappointing when your bowl base is a skimpy portion of greens and rice. Service is pretty good, except today when the employees did not seem very excited to be working. Overall, I'm still glad they opened a location in Florida but hope they adjust their portion sizes to their prices. read more

KUDOS to Carleigh for providing supreme quality customer service! I ordered the braised lamb rice bowl, and it was delicious. The ambiance was quiet, and the music was jamming! Thank God for CAVA! I highly recommend all to come and visit this wonderful place! Please support this local business! They also offer a military discount! read more

One of my favorite spots for a quick meal! Service is great and fast. I usually order ahead and my orders is always ready by the time I get there! Restaurant is always clean and well-maintained too. I typically order a kids meal which is enough food for me! The garlic dressing is my FAVORITE! The harissa chicken is amazing if you like a little spice! read more

I'm so happy we finally have one in the Orlando area, as this is a known place in DC. The food was just as good as I remember. However, I don't recall paying extra for certain meats, and they definitely don't give portion sizes like DC. I paid about $13 for my mixed lettuce/lentil bowl. Lots of toppings to choose from, just be aware some toppings are extra. read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl with lamb. - Salad Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I love bowls and was excited to try Cava. They have a wide selection to choose from to make your own bowl or pita. I like the Mediterranean style because it's unique and different compared to a typical fast food bowl place like Chipotle. For my bowl, I got the basmati rice, tzatziki sauce, harissa sauce, grilled chicken, and a variety of toppings like fire roasted corn, tomatoes, pickles, cucumbers, olives and feta. I topped it all off with the lemon herb tahini sauce which I enjoyed a lot. I like how you can have as many toppings as you want. For some of the options for the bowl, you do have to pay extra if you want them like the avocado, spicy lamb meatball and braised lamb. I had leftovers from my bowl and the staff was friendly. I look forward to going back:) read more

I first tried Cava in Austin, TX and fell in love with this fast casual chain. As someone who is not a fan of Chipotle, this concept is much more up my alley. Mediterranean food is my favorite and I'm super impressed with the variety of their offerings. My favorite is the spicy Harissa Avocado Bowl (harissa honey chicken + hot harissa vinaigrette, feta, hummus, corn, avocado, rice, SuperGreens). I noticed that some of their signature pre-crafted bowls can be pretty pricey though ($17). I've also built my own bowl before and ended spending less. One of favorite things about Cava is their house made juices. I love the cucumber mint lime and the blueberry lavender. You can even mix some of the flavors together and make some fun combos. read more

I love Cava! I've been going to Cava when I lived in Washington, DC for years and I'm happy to have one here in Orlando! The only difference is I feel they have a smaller selection of grains here. I had the lemon chicken bowl and it was delicious. I did think that they added a lot of the lemon dressing and it was acidic and the bottom bits at the end of the bowl were swimming in it. Overall it's a healthy alternative for a lunch break. This was one of their suggested bowls but you also have the option to build your own bowl and select which toppings and dressings you want, which I think I'll do next time. read more

CAVA - Grilled lemon chicken bowl - Salad Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I first tried Cava while in Boston and was so pumped when they opened up in Orlando last year. I love a quick healthy fast-food option and I'm so into the variety of flavors at Cava. There are endless options for bowls and I think I could eat it nearly every day. The quality of ingredients makes the prices extremely reasonable. However, the last two times I've been to this location I've been disappointed with service. Prior, there was a server at the "bases" point, protein point, and sauces/toppings point. Now there is only one who is also packing online orders which is disappointing to people in line that feel ignored. Ultimately we go to Cava because it should be a speedy option. At lunch people drop by that need to get their bowl and go. This pace is not reasonable. I'm thinking they must have a hiring issue, so I hope it is resolved and that the process smooths out. My Order (perfection in my eyes!): Saffron Basmati Super Greens 2 scoops Crazy Feta 1 scoop Traditional Hummus Harissa Chicken Kalamata Olives Pickled Onions Cucumbers Garlic Dressing I appreciate the open, clean, modern atmosphere at Cava. It's generally not very loud and has a bar looking outside which I enjoy sitting at when going along. I will also mention, parking can be difficult if you go at prime time (noon or 6:30/7) Regardless, I go regularly and LOVE my Cava bowls! PS - Try the Blueberry Lavender tea!! It's so refreshing and fruity/floral tasting. read more

Great meal. It was really delicious and healthy. Service was quick and friendly. Will be back!

I would call this place the upgraded and better quality version of Chipotle with a Mediterranean taste. We ordered a signature bowl they had but you're able to customize and build your own bowls. The portions were awesome and the juices taste really natural (they're in house). Overall a great place and they have outdoor seating. 10/10 recommend! read more

Never order online at this location especially during the weekday lunch rush. I placed an app order and waited more than 30 minutes and the food was never ready for pickup. I spoke to a manager and they couldn't get my money reimbursed. I was told to go online to send an email about my experience. They didn't offer to make it right or anything. Unacceptable service. read more

CAVA has lots of fresh veggies that taste great in every dish. I consistently order chicken - it's a classic and tasty choice. Falafel could be a little dry. Overall, CAVA is a place where you can get a tasty and healthy meal. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a good, wholesome lunch or dinner. read more

Venue*** standard venue, things were pretty clean only thing was a couple of tables were broken Service**** the line moved pretty quickly, the cashier at the end was polite Food**** I enjoy 90% of the food I get here. Everything is bursting with flavor. The green cabbage this time around had some pretty large chunks in it though and beware the upcharge for the avocado is pretty hefty. Outside of that the food is pretty awesome, gluten free, grain free, dairy free, you can make it all happen here. My recommendation, build your own bowl, they make it pretty easy. read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl at Cava - Salad Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

This is definitely an acquired taste kind of place. The location is pretty big and the staff were nice. It's like a bigger Mediterranean chipotle. I got the make your own bowl. It was good. I tried a few things I never had before, like falafel and cabbage slaw which were really good. I liked the sweet potatoes and the sauces/dressings they offered. I didn't like the pickles tho; though they were salt brined; they were a bit too salty for me. If you order online they offer the pita chips for free but definitely not in store ‍ I'd try it again; but probably just for the falafel. If you like Mediterranean food this is the place for you. It has tons of options and the price is decent for fresh food. read more

Never once been here where the staff wasn't passive aggressive and rude and I've been like 10 times. The rice this time was hard like uncooked hard, chicken tasted funny. The whole staff always looks pissed off and it clearly shows in service and food. Good luck getting a refund here too read more

OMGGG yum!!! Only been here once, but I will definitely be back. It was a little intimidating ordering for the first time, not knowing how their system works, but they were kind enough to guide us through. I had the Greek salad with rice and chicken. Added yogurt dressing, tzatziki and garlic sauce. It was so fresh and delicious. Very filling and large portion for $12. Great for a healthy and affordable bite out. read more

CAVA - Greek salad with rice and chicken - Salad Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Stopped by here for the first time a few weeks ago per a recommendation from a friend at work and I do understand the hype. I've been back for to go again since and I've gotten a greens and grains bowl both times, moderately modifying what I enter. I do love the flavor of the harissa honey chicken however it does leave a lingering heat so be careful if you are sensitive to heat. I also love the base of spinach and saffron rice. I also recommend the balsamic date vinaigrette, it is wonderful. And if you're wanting a bit more (though I find the bowl filling on its own), getting warm pita on the side is always a winning choice. Partner has also tried the lamb meatballs in a pita with tzatziki and had no complaints. I am hoping to try some more options in the future but I do find that the price may be a bit high but they do compensate with how much food you receive. I typically have some leftover for a lunch the next day! read more

Cava is a chain I'm familiar with in the NYC area and moving down, I was sad Cava wasn't in the Orlando area, but looks like they're building several. You would think this Cava was in the middle of a NYC weekday corporate lunch rush. This has been the only time I experienced a Cava this busy, but this location matched that for Sunday lunch. I definitely didn't expect that having visited multiple locations in NY and NJ with no issues of a line like this. This line was not as efficient. I definitely felt like I have gotten out faster in the lines I mentioned before in NYC. We had a few issues with each staff member we interacted with, and this is an issue I have never encountered at any Cava. A staff member was trying to get past the lunch line to clean up some dirty reusable bowls and rudely (in tone) said excuse me twice. Next, while ordering, my husband made a mistake in asking for a wrong dip, and we both told the server multiple times to forget it and she made eye contact and slowly dropped the dip in. It's actually pretty laughable. Then, he asked the next server for braised lamb, and they gave him lamb meatballs. Finally, we asked for the pita at the end because it was never offered to us, and I think it was the manager who was also cashier, but said also kind of rudely the pita is "all the way down there" and that we need to wait for them to grab it and ask at the start of the line next time. Maybe just offer it from the start then? I know this location was slammed and maybe they were surprised as we were so maybe they're not used to the volume, but this was a really odd experience since I have visited many locations over the years. Portions felt a little slim as well. I probably wouldn't come back to this specific location and would try the other in the area. We also passed Costco in Orlando today, and it looks like they're taking over the Zoe's in that area so there are definitely other options. read more

Food was delicious and surprisingly filling. They make sure to pack your bowl up nice unlike chipotle. Staff was quick and polite. Inside setting is nice and simple with plenty tables. Price might be a little higher than you might expect but if you make your own bowl its a lot cheaper. Highly recommend for good quality yummy food read more

CAVA - Harissa Avocado bowl - Salad Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I was impressed by the concept of healthy Mediterranean food and impressed by the eats, but now really impressed by the service. You could tell they were a chain because the people serving us on the line were impatient with me and my party. We explained that thus was our first time there, but instead of a smile and explaining things, they pointed to where I could read the options available. Still though I liked the food, but as a customer I didn't feel welcome or that they really cared to have my business. I just have to remember that this is like a Chipotle or McDonald's, but way less friendly. read more

The food is good the prices are reasonable for what you get. I thought you would get a little more but since there's so many toppings in some of them it adds up! There's already bowls that come made a specific way which is what we've had the chicken and rightrice has been my factories! I don't get the vinaigrette I do the tahini Cesar and it's bomb. The lemonade options are really good as well. We did two bowls, pitta and a drink for about $25. The only bad thing is the service, they don't greet you and they have gotten my order wrong as it goes down the line from person to person and have had to remake it. So don't expect too much ... grab your food and go lol read more

Cava is definitely a must-try if you enjoy a healthy Mediterranean inspired meal, with customizable options! I almost always get a Chicken and Right Rice Bowl or a Balsamic Date Chicken bowl--both of which come with tender, flavorful grilled chicken and a greens/rice combo base. Personally, I like to add extra toppings like their roasted corn and pickled onions for extra flavor to top it off. My only complaint is that the service can be a bit slow at times and the online orders usually run a few minutes late, so just keep that in mind. But otherwise the staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean and well-kept. Definitely recommend! read more
