CAVA

Clean, open, bright space, staff was so was amazing, great service. Food is amazing. If I could, I would have this at least 3x a week for lunch. Staff was very helpful walking me through as my first time. They slowed it down for me, letting me know what came on it, to see if I was ok with everything. I worked with a gentleman named I believe a Chris, he is there training for a few new openings in Ohio, great small talk while I waited for fresh pita chips. I got the steak harissa bowl.

This is my third time having CAVA, second at this location. My first two times the food was amazing. I am not sure what happened on this visit. My rice was crunchy, they didn't say that there was an additional charge for 1/2 and 1/2 protein. The pita crisps were stale and something in my and my wife's bowl made us both sick and the flavors just weren't there. The saving grace has been the sour cream and onion pita chips. Those are always so good. I will be back to try again, I believe in redemption. If this next visit doesn't go well. That'll be it for me.

From the moment I walked in, the energy was warm, professional, and genuine. You can tell Marco truly leads by example — he was on the floor, engaged with his team, and ensuring every guest felt taken care of. The food was fresh, the atmosphere was spotless, and the service was beyond what you typically find in fast-casual dining. Even though I can’t recall the other associate’s name, their kindness stood out — they were patient, attentive, and had the ki

I ordered 3 spicy lamb bowls and 4 chicken bowls and one Greek salad for a corporate meeting. It was the worst experience. Lamb meat balls were charred dry and I even broke a plastic fork trying to cut the meat ball. Very bad quality of food. It was an embarrassing moment in front of my colleagues. I called the store to talk to the manager, they put me on hold for 20 minutes and disconnected. Store manager didn’t even bother to talk or take the complaint.
