Much better! The new setup and menu at Cava is so much better. The open food composition model (like Chipotle or subway) gives a more personalized experience. The food was tasty although not extremely hot. read more

Tenth time at CAVA, and let me tell you, I ain't been the same since I ate at this place! First off, I love the addition of the chipotle style service instead of the workers preparing the food i. the back as I prefer to see all my fresh ingredients. On this occasion I ordered half lamb meatballs, half roasted veggies. You ever take a bite of something and immediately start planning your next visit?! The lamb meatballs? Juicy, flavorful, with that perfect char on the outside--somebody's Mediterranean grandma is definitely in the kitchen whispering secrets. And the roasted veggies? Whew. Perfectly seasoned, slightly caramelized, and adding just the right amount of freshness to balance it all out. Every forkful was giving earthy, smoky, and just-right spicy all in one bite. Then let's talk about the toppings. CAVA is really out here letting you customize your masterpiece, and I didn't hold back. Harissa? Yes. Tzatziki? SAY LESS! A little crazy feta to tie it all together? Don't ask me twice. Every bite was a little different, but ALL of them were hitting. Moral of the story? 10/10. Will I be back? You might catch me in line tomorrow. read more

Cava - Bowl w/half lamb meatball & half roasted veggies - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Ordered $60 worth of food. They didn't put my pita in my bag and got treated very poorly with never getting my pita and said I had to pay $1 for a refill. I will never return! Worst customer service. read more

Friendly staff, quick service. When I asked for extra of something they kept putting more until I said stop. Amazing! Loved it

I eat CAVA often and I've never had a bad experience until today. I was eating my bowl and pulled a long black strand of hair out of my mouth! This is unacceptable! CAVA needs to have better cleaning standards. Please do not eat at this location. This is my last time! For all those who ask the silly question of what if it's yours, it's not! My hair is coily and tightly curled, not long and stringy. read more

I frequent this location a lot since it's near home. The service and quality of the food is always above par! The team members and management are always super friendly and very professional! The dining area has a great ambiance to it. I come pretty often that even the store manager Pablo knows me by name now! Makes you want to come back each time :-) read more

I used to frequent Zoe's Kitchen at this location and had not yet been here since it opened. I decided last week on a weeknight to try it out. The workers were TERRIBLE, unfriendly, unmotivated. I told them I had never been. Both young ladies stared like so what and were mute af. No help or extra convo to explain the concept. I ordered the bowl with what I wanted. Food was ok but the employees are enough for me to not return. Please find friendlier employees that want to be there. Customer service is everything. read more

I thought I would like the idea of CAVA table but this place is sloppy. The menu is black and white, printed off the office copier, and taped to the Covid barrier left over from the pandemic. Stacks of beverages are just sitting on the floor behind the counter. I dared not peak into the kitchen even though it's an open layout. This is a small location. Even so, they'll give you a numbered beeper so they can locate you when bringing out your food. Drinks options are limited but it appears they may want to have a coffee bar? I was offered lemonades, shakes, or canned beverages by the gentleman taking the order. I opted for the lemonade, which was very good. Cava table allows you to build your own bowl but unlike normal Cava... you pick from menu without seeing. I opted for a chicken Shawarma sandwich. It was overstuffed and sloppy. There was as much oil on the outside as inside the sandwich so I had to eat it with a fork. Uncomfortable seats, matched with sticky tables,and less than desirable food; this will be my one and only visit to cave table in Woodbridge read more

Cava - Messy chicken Shawarma sandwich. - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Can you say the worse customer service ever!! I'll never go back to this location due to the lack of service. Every time I have visited this location it's always rude and unwelcoming. Do better CAVA! read more

We were really excited to try this slightly upscaled version of Cava! We were hoping for a unique or special menu but it is really just the same as Cava without the assembly line. We placed our order for bowls and received a table number where it was delivered promptly. Inside is a really cute space that would be better for a date etc. It does add something over your typical Cava location but we felt it missed the opportunity to really punch it up! read more

Cava is great. Clean, predictable, good customer service. What else could you ask for in a fast-casual lunch experience??

I've been going to this particular location for approximately 4 years and it has truly gone down hill! The initial staff was always warm, welcoming, pleasant, and customer centric. The new staff that has been employed is caddy, always giving each other side eye, and conversing about the clients in their native tongue. I'm African however, I do speak and understand Spanish fluently so I can attest to what I am saying. They now ration the rice as though they running out and they are charging top dollar for a protein inclusive salad bowl. On more than one occasion my family has come in there and spent well over a hundred dollars and not once did anyone mention the benefits of the app until one of the original members happen to be present and he aided us on the process. I only go to this location because it's close in proximity to my home but I hate and dread going in there every time. read more

awesome place and food. always very flavorful and fresh!! everyone in there is always welcoming and the environment is always super inviting. i recommend this place to everyone! the food never fails to hit the spot! read more

Dropped my better half off at IKEA and went off to run errands. They were not finished shopping and I wanted to wait somewhere comfortably and read a book until they were done. CAVA had good reviews and *bonus* had espresso drinks so I tried it out. First up was the Moroccan Day Dreamer Latte. No joke when they dropped it off with the greenery floating in it I thought I made a major mistake - but it was good. Really good. Fragrant delicious spices in just the right balance. Mmmm! Some time later I received a message saying my avid shopper was taking a break and snacking, so I did too. This time I tried a chocolate mocha latte and a falafel sandwich. The falafel isn't really a sandwich, it comes in a really thick pita-like wrap which is kind of dense, and it's missing something for me - feta cheese? Tsatziki sauce? But really the entire sandwich was seriously impressive for $10.45. The mocha was good but I missed the lovely flavors of the Moroccan latte. I think this is my first CAVA experience. If it isn't, it's the first one I remember. I'm now a fan! read more

The food is amazing and delicious & Alex is really awesome! Say hi to him if you see him :)

I love this place & concept! Has so much potential and believe it or not- you can order a normal cava bowl. Great service read more

Cava - Food was delicious! Got two plates- one with steak and one with falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Food is delicious of course! Service is fast! I always do take out so can't comment on Ambiance.

I came to Cava yesterday and ordered the Harissa chicken and the spicy lamb meatball. After I had taken a couple of the bites of the lamb meatballs I realized that they were nasty and completely uncooked. Later that night I ended up getting severely sick and realized I had gotten food poisoning. The GM gave me a refund only for the bowl but I feel I should have been refunded for the whole meal since I barely ate any of it and ended up vomiting and on the toilet for hours after that meal. cava was the only thing that I ate yesterday so I KNOW it was them. The GM was very nice but I feel like he did not care nor did he accept that they had undercooked the meatballs. He told me that the red I was seeing was just from the spice. Attached is a picture for your own judgment. This is a really nice location with nice workers but unfortunately this will be my last time eating cava because of this. read more

Yesterday, January 20th I had dinner at CAVA I was greeted with a warm friendly SMILE by cashier Alex, his suggestion was help and delicious. The food was AMAZING. Alex was customer focused and professional. Alex, is a great representation of CAVA! Because of his level of service, I will continue to dine here. Thank you, Alex! Job well done. read more

I prefer the regular CAVA so I'm glad that is what this will be. I didn't like this version because I like to customize my orders. Looking forward to the new (old!) model! read more

I really like the concept of Cava Table and it's a shame that they will be converting this to a regular Cava instead of putting more resources into it. I wish they polished this location because it always felt very temporary, down to the confusing paper menus and lack of evidence of its existence on cava's website or online ordering. I love their small plates. The shining star of the menu is their tahini milkshakes and soft serve. I wish they would bring back the sour cherries and mint as toppers. They also have some coffee based drinks that include Mediterranean spices. I wish they would focus on this cafe concept and just bring it into modern eatery operations with clear internet presence and digestible menus. read more

Amazing staff that is always attentive, fresh delicious food, and the ambiance is very relaxing. Definitely will be going back!

The workers are so sweet and very patient. They gave very welcoming hospitality and the food was amazing. The place is well maintained and very clean to have a nice meal. read more

Wow, I was blown away by this place. In NC, we have Cava's but none like this. It was gorgeous inside and the menu is slightly different. They serve amazing coffee. I had a mint lemon tea which was delicious and I built my own bowl. The service was a little slow but it was a busy time. I loved sitting here and enjoying my meal, the place is so pretty. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Like the name suggests this version of CAVA is quite different from the regular CAVA. You order then wait staff will bring you your food. Menu is also different in a way that they added variants to their regular menu. Ambiance is relaxing. Love the olive tree as a centerpiece of the restaurant. It sort of ties into the concept of Mediterranean casual dining. Hope they will be abel to put up more of these around NOVA. read more

After arriving home late from an out of town flight, I made it to Cava in the Potomac Town center location right before they closed and Alex (Manager) was very patient with my order and provided great customer service!! read more

Was definitely happy to stumble across this place. I love Cava, but this place took it to another level. Beautiful ambiance Good food Great prices I had the Steak Kabob + Sesame Rice. The steak was very tender and cooked perfectly. Salad was fresh, loved the sumac on the rice, and the sweet potatoes made for a great dessert, especially bc they were asian sweet potatoes. This all paired wonderfully with the Moroccan Day Dreamer. Very happy this is close to home, and I can't wait to come back! read more

You order off a menu and don't see how they make your food/what goes into it like normal CAVAs. I came home with my food, to see that were was so much rice which is good.. but then there was barely any sauce, dips, & toppings. read more

Why put a restaurant like this together. Was told to test out new recipes. Well, why not do it at one of the regular CAVA locations? This place is nice looking but it's hard to customise your dish. The food did not stand out when compared to their regular restaurants. read more

Cava was on the list of places to try for both my wife and me. We checked out the menu prior and enjoyed the selection of premade bowls and the build your bowl option. I signed up for their rewards but noticed that the Woodbridge location wasn't available. I enjoy looking at the menu in the app for places as it gives descriptions of items versus their menu. Unfortunately, this was not the case for Cava since the Woodbridge location wasn't in their app. My wife and I walked in and didn't have to wait, and we were able to place our order. Unlike Chipotle, we did not walk down a line to build our bowls. Instead, we put the order at the register, and it was made in the kitchen. I had ordered the hummus dip, but I am assuming the cashier did not hear, but it was okay as after I got the food, I asked for a side of hummus. Overall I Was pleased with my experience and wouldn't come back. read more

I love this cava! The inside is decorated so well and makes for a great atmosphere to enjoy your food. Cava is a great place to try Mediterranean food with a classic twist. They have suggested bowls if you want to chose a combination you can trust or a build your own bowl option where you can choose everything from your base (type of rice or greens), your meat (chicken, salmon, beef), and toppings like hummus, roasted eggplant, cucumbers, figs, and olives. Highly recommend! read more

Cava - Build your own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I love Cava and eat from here pretty regularly the ambiance is warm and inviting and the food is delicious and portions are great needless to say I'm a big fan. However I was really disappointed when I ordered a chicken and rice bowl through DoorDash and my food was delivered without any chicken I was pretty frustrated but I called the store and spoke to Diego and he was incredibly accommodating and considerate. No fuss or hassle just re made my order and was deeply apologetic any frustrations I had was out the window at that point. In consideration of the food the ambiance and especially the service I'm happy to call myself a regular read more

NOT A REGULAR CAVA!! I can get over the fact that they don't make your bowl in front of you like a regular Cava, but this place was dirty. Not a clean table in sight. And we weren't there at a busy time either. We went for a late lunch at 2:30. The food was fresh but smothered in dressing so that's all I could taste. The staff was unfriendly and apathetic. Will not be returning. read more

This review is for the new cava update, I was super excited that a regular cava was opening in my area. But unfortunately like some other chains I've noticed when they are brought to Woodbridge the team and quality in service and food is not the same as the other locations. I'd rather stop every now and then to the other locations that I know are better than this one. read more

I ordered my normal item and as I was eating, I heard a crunch and felt something hard. I spit out the hard item only to discover a small rock! I am thankful that it didn't break a tooth. I need Cava Table to do a better job at cleaning their produce. I would have rated the food higher but the rock forced me to lower my rating. read more

This was my first time at a Cava! I was extremely impressed by the design and establishment itself! Very open and airy with a lot of seating available! The menu had many options! The server was very friendly and the food was made rather quickly! It tasted phenomenal with amazing spices and flavors! The spicy lamb was cooked perfectly and the steak was extremely tender and juicy. read more

Food and service(take out) was good but I really like the build my own bowl option at the other cava restaurants which this location does not have. I ordered three bowls which were good but I'm not sure it would be something I'd add to my weekly lunch rotation. Location is great, decor is nice and service was excellent. read more

It's about time we get a Cava in Woodbridge and especially a new concept at that. Ever since I saw that the space was being replaced by a Cava I checked daily to see when it would be open and as soon as I saw that it was we headed over. We've been here about 10+ times and cycled through most of the bowls but my absolute favorite thing to get here is the Chicken Shawarma bowl. Everything in the bowl works well together and it is not too salty. The dates give it sweetness and the veggies give it a great crunch. It's super filling and it has been great every time. I also love to add a Vanilla Baklava oat shake to my orders as well. It's so creamy and the pistachios give you good texture as well. The service is so fast and efficient that getting you order usually takes less than 10 minutes. Hopefully they do add online ordering in the future because it will be easier to build your own bowl as opposed to having to tell it to someone. read more
