CAVA

This place was ok but I wasn't impressed. My steak bowl had only a little bit of rice, and the steak was overcooked and very tough. The brownie was very tiny for almost four dollars.

here is what you need to know before coming to this location clean restrooms with in both restrooms the ability to change diapers for children also plenty of room to dine indoors and outdoors My personal favorite to come to this franchise is for the lamb and especially the blueberry lavender homemade juice that they make I also have a lot of main root sugarcane soda options and carry on options but especially for me to have some of the best prices on me especially for lamb huge fan to putting together ball with their lamb meatballs shredded broccoli on the best body rice with some pickled onion and their feta olive oil mix customer staff here was friendly hospitable great job and keep it in basically inside with a nice even pace of like hippie kind of music in the background gave it a nice ambience to go orders check in and out quickly Wendy of options for families only recommend this location I would say 80% about list is getting here and also keep in mind that there's apparently a whole lot of high school students or at least there were when I came that hang out here supposed to since they have super good fast Wi-Fi lots of tables to hang out

As always, Cava rarely misses. Food is on point, fresh and flavorful. Staff was courteous and efficient. For about the price of a regular fast food combo, you can get something healthy with vegetables, whole grains and legumes!

Went today for the first time and atmosphere was awesome. Loved that I didn’t feel rushed. And everyone had a smile on their face. Will definitely be coming back to this location…. My bowl was *chefs kiss* amazing!

Today was my first visit at Cava. Yolanda and Angelica were so welcoming and helpful when explaining the menu. The falafel bowl was so delicious! I'll be sure to be back. Thank you!

Even though I like the atmosphere and the ingredients that they use, all in all the bowl tastes too salty and vinegary as for me. 17$ for a bowl that I don’t even finish because I don’t like it is not good. Lamb was just straight up salt. Actually I was heading to chipotle initially but since it was next door decided to try, regret that I didn’t choose the other door(

Came in 30 min prior to close and Klarise was AWESOME!!!! She got us fresh brased lamb, made great recommendations! I love this CAVA!! I drive an hour just to come here!! The service is ALWAYS great and if it not, they go above and beyond to make it a great experience! Thank you!!

I love Cava food but this location doesn’t have great service. No smile, no eye contact, I asked the cashier for salt and was rude when he said “no salt” . The spoon and fork section were on disarray. Clean but the staff should nit be frontliners.

Great for a quick bite. The line moves fast. It is easier to pick one of the items on the menu, but if you are comfortable you can build your own. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The bathrooms are gender neutral and clean.

Perfect salad bowl for after work-out meal, super fresh ingredients. Everything was delicious, and there was no wait/line. My bowl was a build-your-own, food preparation table was well kept and very clean. Dining room and tables were also very clean.

Updating now that we've been to this location many times. Food is delicious. Service is good, but often slow. I think they've probably had problems with people stealing to-go orders, because you have to give your name at the checkout to be handed your bag. I don't mind that, though it does add an extra step if you're in a hurry. My only complaint is that the bowls are often not mixed much, if at all. My order today had each ingredient/sauce lumped in one spot and took some time and caution mixing so it didn't overflow the container. Eating at home wasn't only mildly annoying, but it could be an issue if you're trying to eat in the car or in a public place.

tried CAVA for the first time and lamb bowl tasted good however they skimp on the meat so badly that's it's really not worth the almost $17 for a salad bowl. It came with 2 meat balls and a small teaspoon of braised lamb. it's like $2.65 to add avocado like wtf? the amount of stuff they give you is like a small teaspoon of the item. really disappointed and dissatisfied. not worth it for the value.

Placed a delivery order here. Food arrived on time. Ordered a greens and grains bowl, sort of build your own bowl. You get plenty of greens, greens, toppings and dressing to choose from. Service was on time. Good option for vegetarians!

The Greek Salad is SO GOOD AND YUMMY! I love eating at this location with my husband, we were complimented by the friendly and quick staff. David was particularly nice and attentive- gave us two free drinks AND a chocolate chip cookie. I'm amazed by the customer service.

First of all, I am coming to the realization that CAVA may be the better Chipotle. Yada yada yada Chipotle is different ok whatever but if you are going for fast casual and want a big portion of food that actually tastes good, is mildly healthy, and is consistent, I think CAVA may be the better bet. It helps that the Chipotle in Cedar Park is right in front of the CAVA, so the comparison is easy to make. This CAVA is solid and every time I have been here, the service was friendly, the food tastes great, and the ambiance is nice. Perhaps a little less rowdy than your average Chipotle. I usually get double chicken and the lady that usually scoops it is fairly generous which I greatly appreciate. For only a couple bucks more, it hits the macros and is a tastier option in my opinion, than Chipotle. I have been to Chipotle countless times in this life and I will say that while I could eat it every day, CAVA is something I could certainly eat every day as well and switch up what I order because there are more options for things to go in the bowl. 8.5/10 would recommend, only wish their bowls were a little bigger so if there is a lid on it it's easier to mix by shaking it up.

Great food , service is fast Parking is a little bit limited Portions are pretty small so u should ask for double

Went today with my mom around 11:30am. Usually staff is pretty good, today staff was very rude we almost walked out. David specifically was very rude, my mom and I both had free drinks because of our points, he could not see on the computer that we redeemed it and was arguing with us and being very rude. Thankfully one of his coworkers stepped in and honored it for us. Another girl that was on the line with David that was doing the toppings helped my mom with her toppings. Looked at me, didn't say anything then rudely askes me what toppings I wanted. Service definetly needs some help today, my mom and I were considering on leaving due to the rude helpers today. Not sure I want to go back anytime soon. If you can't be pleasant while working, find a job that you don't have to talk to paying customers.

Super yummy and fresh bowls with friendly and efficient servers. The prices are decent and they don't really skimp on serving sizes. My only complaint is that they mixed up the bases of mine and my bfs bowls. So all of my toppings were on his base. And vice versa for him. But we're both not that picky so it wasn't a big deal.

I've come by here several times. I love Cava. Food is tasty, you can get extra scoops of veggies and there are a large selection thin of toppings to choose from. Given that this place can get pretty packed I would like to take a moment to comment on how nice the servers are. Food service has its challenges so I understand how tired one could get after serving the billionth person. I've never had an issue, evening going late. Steely is always such a fun guy who is always giving awesome service. Today we were served by Bella. She was so sweet and helpful. They ran out of chicken but had more out soon. She definitely deserves kudos. I'll continue to be a regular patron.

Delicious food great service and incredible fresh juice bar too!!! So many choices and they are all delicious Nice clean environment plenty of seating and parking too

Loved it! But I'm not the only one. My friend and I got there at 11:30am. It was empty. Got our bowls. Sat down suddenly there was a long line, which was handled quickly by an efficient, well trained, friendly staff. We were newbies so all was explained in a courteous manner. We both loved our bowls. I got half steak half roast lamb, sorry I didn't get all roasted lamb, it was fabulous. Don't miss the "in house brewed drinks. I loved my Blueberry-Lavender drink but there were a couple others I want to try next time. The line never stopped but it goes quickly. I could go here daily and not get bored with the selections!

wife and I both enjoy meals at CAVA. Having said that, this location is hands down the worst location based on 2 experiences. One - this place is filthy. customers have to clean their own tables, the floors are never clean, the garbage cans are always overflowing, and the fountain station is a sticky mess. Two - the dark haired daytime manager is hands down the worst employee I've ever seen in any form of lead position. This dude has a horrible attitude, moves slower that cold molasses, mumbles when speaking, argues when customers wanting to use points when paying, and if thats not enough - if there's any break in the food line, he grabs a bowl with food and eats right behind the food line amongst the line workers. To add insult to all this, he belittles his checkout worker when she asks question on the register. All this points to a zero star (but one is the lowest I can rate it). Maybe time together a new daytime manager is in order? ** even though we live close to this location - won't be going back**

Food is always good. Usually the employees are cool; today we interacted with a rude one. Main complaint here is they refuse to clean the tables even when things slow down. The tables were just absolutely disgusting. They even saw us cleaning our own table and didn't offer to help. Wtf?

What more can I say about the yummy place of cava Every time I'm out of town I make sure to hit up cava Build your own bowl with the freshest ingredients you can ask for. Team is very friendly no matter what, and always make sure you are good. Place stays clean except the customers who always build a mountain of ice at the machine. Lol No question I will return to enjoy the yummy food

This location is kind of cavernous and didn't do well at keeping the cold out (I came on a frigid day in January) but the service made up for it. Every staff member was so kind and helpful, they gave very thoughtful answers for all my questions about pairing different meats with different dressings/sauces. The food was amazing as always; they made fresh steak for my friend even though there was some already available. The cashier wouldn't accept a cash tip so I wanted to leave them a nice review. Iffy building, great food, awesome staff

We have done takeout a number of times and it has always been a 5-star experience. My go-to is their Chicken & RightRice. RightRice provides a high-protein base and the chicken is grilled and spiced to perfection. I could eat a bowl of their tzatziki, really! I love this healthy lunch alternative and I've found it is the perfect post-workout meal. Plus one builds her own bowl and I am looking forward to building a bowl using their roasted white potatoes as a base on our next visit.

This is my favorite spot right now. Cava has something for everyone, the carnivore, the vegetarian, and the vegan. I feel so good after wasting from here. My body gets many of the nutrients that I am missing during the day.

The first guy was nice and let me try the lamb before I bought it. The second lady baffled me because she was rushing me through the toppings and sauces. There was literally one person behind me. Not even a line. Then when she handed off my food to the cashier and I could finally see the bowl clearly, I asked to add a little bit of extra rice and she told the cashier to charge me for extra rice. Now lady, I know you saw there was MAYBE 4 ounces of food in that bowl and you KNOW I'm about to pay $3+ for lamb meat. Why do I need to pay for extra rice which is the cheapest product on the line? Really pissed me off. The last girl, I couldn't tell if it was intentional or not, but when she gave me my bag, she definitely didn't really 'place' it down. It slid a bit on the counter. I'm really confused on the whole experience to be honest with you. I'll just go to the one near the domain from now on. At least the good tasted good.

This is one of the healthier choices in town but def does not lack in flavor. Sit down or take to go. I've been here at least a Dozen times. I Love the right rice if you haven't tried it yet. Heads up if you do not get lettuce in your bowl, it will look a little small in portion. Wish they gave a little more in portion sizes. Lots of options for meat, toppings and sauces. You can get half and half for meats. Love the chicken and beef meatballs. The desserts at checkout.. oh my gosh, you would never think but they are so good. The blondie one. It's small but packs a lot of flavor. It's a hit or miss on if it's clean or not. And 50% of staff is either friendly or not and most of the time i feel rushed through. When they first opened this was not the case.

This location is gives very small portion sizes, the bowl doesn't even get filled halfway. You'd be better off going to a different cava.

I usually get take out and it never fails my order is messed up. The line is always backed up but I did see a hiring sign. My friend was a first timer and they rushed her through the line and seemed annoyed with her asking questions about the process. The girls in the front seemed more interested in talking to someone they knew in line than serving customers. They were out of several items so she didn't get the full experience. They say as many toppings as you like but because they were running out they limited us. I like Cava but this location is struggling. For the price they give very little. It's not very clean and the whole time we were there a spill on the floor never got cleaned up. We had to get food to go because they had no clean seating

So many options to choose from, but this is a very nice and well-priced option if you're looking to grab some food. For stronger dressings/sauces, I like the Schug (SHOO-g) and the white garlic option. All of their toppings are great and always appear quite fresh, and bright colored, maintaining their form Ie, their Persian cucumbers are cold and always have that great crunch to them as opposed to those that sit and get soft and bend. The only topping that I'm iffy on is the olives, which I normally like, but these ones are REALLY strong. Just me? As in if you have a half olive in a bite full of other things, all you will taste is that olive. TL;DR - You can always find and make a satisfying, not to mention very filling, bowl. If you don't want to cook tonight, but also don't want to spend on a sit-down dine-in restaurant, Cava is a great place to satisfy your food wants.

Customer service from David 0/10. Food 1/10. This cava was unorganized and rude. My daughter ordered the kids pita with steak. Somehow lamb got into her pita (no big deal but she is allergic to lamb and clocked it as soon as she tasted it... she's 6 we all tasted it and it def tasted like lamb, maybe just cross contaminated on the grill or something) my husband went up to go ask if we could just switch her meal to chicken since we didn't realize that it had come in contact with lamb and David grabbed the tea from his hand and threw the whole thing away. They made her a new pita but didn't give her the included sides that David had thrown away. When my husband asked about it David had thrown worst attitude and didn't want to give a literal scoop of rice and a few pita chips to our daughter. Arguing with a customer about an allergy is pretty insane. If you're in cedar park there's a small family owned Mediterranean restaurant called Almarah, it's better and cheaper than CAVA. Go there.

Both me & my friend prefer Lemon Chicken Bowl though she had Harissa Avocado Bowl. Food is good. Blueberry lavender drink is my favorite. Minus one star because no one cleans the tables.

Actually pretty good but every location is different quality and service why??? Also teasing is different too

When i stepped into the restaurant I was like, this is the Mediterranean version of Chipotle! And it IS! You can have pita bread or a bowl. I'm gluten and dairy free and they are very knowledgeable and have lots of options. Food is very fresh and tasty! The grilled chicken was delicious! It had those charred pieces that I love! Hubby had the pita bread and the lamb meatballs and he also loved those! Lamb was very well seasoned and with the perfect spice level. Pitta was crunchy to perfection according to him. Sides were also good, just wish we just had a bit more hummus.

Food good but the lights flicker near the register and at the tables. Would be a 10/10 if they could fix the almost seizure inducing flickering lights lmao

Great fast casual option for healthier food. Love the variety of grains, greens, proteins, and sauces.

Finally got around to trying Cava today. Order at the counter- this is essentially a Mediterranean-style Chipotle where you can build your own bowl or pita and fill it to the top with all the delicious vegetables, rice, meat, and sauces that you want. Loved the tzatziki sauce with cucumber and tomato salad. One tip- if something indicates that it is spicy- they mean it!! Causal atmosphere with counter service, this is a great option for grabbing lunch in the area if your looking for something a little different.

I came to this establishment this evening to get dinner for the things and I. I had never been to this chain outside of the East Coast (D.C. area), so I was shocked to see one in my backyard. For the folks who have never been here before, this place is like a Greek Chipotle or a Greek Subway..whatever, ya'll get what I am saying. We ordered two wraps and a salad. Thing One ordered a lamb wrap that was absolutely divine. The lamb was tender and flavorful and simply melted on the palate. I ordered the chicken and was pleased with the texture and spice of the meat. The only aspect that could use some work was the service. I understand this location is new to the area and needs some time to get the cadence down, but the reading off the menu cards to determine what goes in each dish while the customer is waiting and confusion about how to use the P.O.S. machine was really not acceptable and is a bottleneck in the ordering process. I'll wait for a few months before coming back because waiting more than 20 minutes when there's only one consumer infront of me....nope.

Love this place. The food is simple, fresh and delicious. They offer 4 standard bowl options but you can customize per your tastes or you can build your own from scratch. The lemon chicken bowl was simply delicious. Lots of different flavors that all come together nicely. Love the fresh juice options as well. Staff is friendly and prompt.

We decided to try this since it was new ( to us). Apparently it's been open since Feb 2021, but we just noticed it. Anyway, it's a Chipotle but a Mediterranean twist. Menu is quite simple...either a salad, bowl or pita. Add some protein, veggies, and sauce. Staff was friendly. The proportions were huge. I thought I was gonna to half my pita, but I was really hungry and somehow downed the whole thing. My wife got a salad and made 2 meals of it. I got the spicy chicken avocado pita and it was great. The chicken was soft and packed just the right amount of heat. I'll be honest, I was sweating but it was a good heat. My wife enjoyed her salad.... I ordered a fountain drink, pita, and salad and our bill was $32. So, while the food is really good, it's not cheap or inexpensive for that matter. In the fountain drink side they have quite a few lemonade flavors, good tasting tea and Maine root soda. So, it's good food but I'll admit I was a bit sticker shocked. Anyway, it's worth a visit. It's unique and much better than a generic burger/burrito place

Food is always great & I love the variety of drinks (non alcoholic). Nothing special about the restaurant itself other than it's always been clean. I'm a repeat customer.

Food was good! They need a better cleaner for the tables, after being cleaned twice, it was still sticky!

Finally made it to Cava, to see if the food is as good as Zoe's, which I loved. The first thing I tried was ordering online. Everywhere on Cava reads "Build Your Own" including the online ordering. Guess what! Even though you click on "Create" you cannot customize your meal. Not sure if I am doing something wrong but I tried it four different times to the same results. I wanted a Greek Chicken wrap my way but if you click on Greek chicken wrap and Create....Nope. They list what the wrap will have no changes. So I drove there to order what I wanted. Being there it was a totally customized wrap. As for sides? Very limited, pita chips, hummus, pita, or cookies. This is where I really missed Zoe's, all I wanted was a small side of something healthy...salad, braised beans, soup. Nope Time to pay and the total is $12.00. Just a wrap for $12.00 and I thought Zoe's was expensive. I am going to search inside my wrap to see if it has a gold nugget in it. Now I will admit, it was big and it did taste good. Still not worth $12.00 and NO GOLD NUGGET.

Two build your own bowls came to $39! They said we could do half one meat and half another so we did half chicken and half meatball. They didn't explain that it would be an extra $6. Way overpriced. Not that great at all. Sterile feeling interior. Employees were very nice.

I really like the options here. The staff are pleasant and helpful. I'm a fan of the wraps. I recommend giving them a try. Yum!

Great service, good flavor, consistent product. Sometimes there are long lines during busy times. We like the build your own bowl and the kids pita. The Cedar Park location is known for fabulous service and yummy food. My family enjoys going here for lunch and a quick meal!

Thank you, CAVA & Cedar Park for having this location! I fell in love with CAVA in Westlake while working for my client. Then I discovered there was one right here in my town! Yahooooo! I'm smitten with the Harissa Avocado Bowl. You can always change out your base if you want more Brussels (they are raw, sliced thin) or maybe you're more on a rice kick... I never customize my bowls, but I appreciate those who have the knowledge of things they want to taste together. The pickled onions and salt-brined pickles are just to die for! They have seasonal bowls & pitas too. Spicy lamb meatballs... Oh, and the yummy drinks!?! My favorite is Cucumber Mint Lime. SO refreshing! One last thing you'll want to just say yes too? The cookie at the check out. Sea Salt chocolate chip. Mmmmm Mmmmm Yahhhh! Enjoy!

Absolutely love this location. They are always so friendly and quick. My biggest guilty pleasure here is the amazing cucumber mint drink.

The food tastes good, and we've eaten here a lot, however we'll never go back. After a visit a month or so ago my wife got violently ill. Thought maybe it was unrelated but the same happened to my son after eating there last week. I can also chime in with all the others who mentioned the incredibly slow service. If you want to wait forever for decent food that'll potentially poison you, have at it.

Kind of positive with a little (subjective) negative. It is my understanding the Zoe's Kitchen at a corporate level was bought by CAVA. I really like Zoe's, and this CAVA is what was Zoe's, then converted into a CAVA. The positive is that the food is fresh, and good service. And although this is my first ever visit to CAVA, I think it probably measures up to the other locations. The negative for me (totally subjective) is that I can't help comparing them to Zoe's. I miss the side dishes like white beans, marinated cole slaw, lentil soup. And the great chocolate cake. I ordered the braised lamb pita, which was a little fatty for my tastes. I've heard some reviewers describe CAVA as being a little like a mediterranean Chipotle. That seems to me to be a pretty reasonable comparison. I was told that the lamb choices were the spicy ground, or the (nonspicy) braised lamb. If the ground lamb were also available as nonspicy, that would be a plus. Fortunately, are right now in Round Rock at the shopping center across from IKEA, where was just pleasantly shocked to discover that the Zoe's there is still Zoe's. I know this is an odd review. But what kind of reviewer would I be if I didn't tell the truth to the best of my ability. To CAVA fans, go and enjoy the food there. To Zoe's fans like me (with "narrow" taste buds), give CAVA a try. I am stiill locked into my Zoe's tastebuds. Hopefully I will eventually come around.

The first two times I ordered from the Arboretum location, the food was great. On the third time I was treated to crunchy hard rice in the bowl I had already stirred. So each bite was a mini reminder to me to make my own bowls at home.

I so very much want to give this five stars I went twice back to back I enjoyed it so much (I live in Round Rock So it's bit of a drive but I enjoy the food) Inside nice plants of seatings Parking busy parking lot Customer service: lacking Prices I say are pretty reasonable everything seemed very fresh and had a lot of flavor Only reasons I dock points 1) I never got the chance to use my reward points nor given a receipt 2) it was very rushed even when no one was behind me First time going I kinda got the concept but there was so much to pick from and a bit overwhelming. When I said what do Should I get/asked for recommendations . they didn't take a moment to explain or help/give recommendations they just said greens or grain 3) going back the second time I figured I'd maybe get a different experience and it was the same no one was interested in communication or helping just rushing ur food to go down the line which is really sad. 4) also the drink station n utensil station was messy/dirty n no forks In all I'm going to try the domain location I hear nothing but good things about that one

Healthy meal Cheap Easy to Ofer No tip Clean place to eat Kids friendly To go order available

First off, this place is amazing! You cannot beat the food & the different options to even custom your bowl or pita. I have to give lots of props to the GM running this place. He hires nothing but the most professional staff & you can tell that his employees love working for him. It's evident just based on they customer service they deliver each and every day. Kim, Jaq, Comone, Zoe...they are the best team all around. How can you not love the employees?! All I can say is I come here 3-4 times a week and worth every penny!
