The staff was great and helpful while ordering. The food was delicious highly reccommend the falafel but in a bowl. The fried pitas with garlic dipping sauce hit the spot! So glad I'm a reward member!

I first want to start off by saying I love Cava, the food is terrific. Unfortunately this location is a mess all around. I have been in multiple times with a terrible experience. Honestly feel bad for the employees most times, where is the management!?

Very good tasting, but over priced for something that is mostly vegetables lettuce and tiny pieces of meats in a plastic to go bowl.Dietary restrictions: Good options for Gluten-free, grain free, dairy free

The food is great but the staff is so unfriendly and mean it makes me not want to go back to this location. I have been three times and each time everyone on staff is sooooo rude and makes you feel like you’re bothering them by just being there. Disappointing because the food is great but I probably won’t be back because the staff.

The staff here is very toxic. No one wants to work here and the workers are arguing with each other. Terrible service will not be back

I waited over an hour for my food, placed an order online and it wasn’t even started when i got there… I placed it 25 minutes before i got there. the boss was also being so RUDE to his employee. that’s not how you manage your team, very disappointed.

I love cava, it’s by far one of my favorite places and honestly my go to. However I had a recent incident with an employee there, she was the rudest person EVER, like so rude I could not believe she even had a job there to begin with. I ended up walking out and because that experience alone I didn’t want to go back ever again. But I decided to go tonight because I was craving it and the rude employee was there with the same miserable look on her face. I requested that someone else made my bowl the whole way through and I explained why and found out she was the manager. She was extremely apologetic and definitely made up for my bad experience. I wish I got her name but she was working this evening on 3/26/24. Aside from that one employee the food, staff and manager there are great!

waited 15 minutes after scheduled pickup time because they wouldn’t make it until all cafe orders were done, and didn’t acknowledge my order at all.

Frequent this Cava quite a bit. They never seem to be able to include the free pita even after asking. Very disappointed this time- no free pita again plus the pita chips in my bowl taste like they were fried in rancid oil. Never had a problem with Cava until now.
