CAVA

Went there for my Birthday. I suggested Mediterranean food and my daughter suggested CAVA’s. Great choice! I had the steak & Harissa. My gosh it was good! The family had an assortment of other delicacies that was great to sample! We went in the evening and they have a great outdoor seating area. Bathrooms were very clean. Staff and servers were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I want to go back there the next time I was Mediterranean food!!

Cava is great for their healthy menu and great flavors. However they have consistent quality issues. Their veggies/corn is always burnt. This time though there is a big plastic piece in my food. I wonder how many such prices made it into the whole menu. Scary.

I get CAVA weekly at the office and it's a nice rest on my day off at home too. Delicious, light, and plenty of variety

Love CAVA!! The chicken shawarma is great! Been eating at CAVA for years. So much better than Chipotle 😁 people at this location are super friendly as well, which is nice

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!

Steely & Angel were literal angels. The customer service here was exceptional. I added multiple items to my order and they were so patient and understanding about it all. They helped me get all i needed and recommended a lot of items they knew i’d like and I did! The food was also super delicious. I tried the cinnamon powder dusted pita chips with the honey and i was absolutely delighted with them. They were so so so so good. My food was made correct and to perfection. Thank you so much to team at Cava! 😊

I’m a regular at this Cava location and many others around the Austin area and I have to say the service and food quality here always exceed my expectations! Tommy and Tyler specifically have great customer service and are very welcoming! The rest of the staff has been warm and great as well. Can’t recommend this place enough!

This visit was disappointing and uncomfortable due to staff behavior. The employee (male, black ponytail, glasses) who prepared my bowl spoke to me in a condescending and dismissive tone when I asked for extra lamb meatballs, as if I were attempting to get something for free rather than placing a normal paid request. After paying, I realized my pita bread was missing and returned to the register. While checking my bag, the cashier unnecessarily moved my personal items around. The employee who made my food then returned holding the pita bread and threw it into my bag instead of handing it to me or placing it respectfully, despite the fact that I was standing right there and could have opened the bag. Tossing food at a customer is unprofessional and disrespectful. I was polite and patient throughout the entire interaction, so this treatment was unprovoked and unacceptable. This experience reflects poorly on the location and its management.

First time eating at Cava and the food was good. A bit pricey for 2 people but not a crumb was left. Service was enjoyable!!

This was my first time trying Cava. I've been to Honest Mary's and wanted to try a new place and compare. Cava has more selection for toppings! The employee was very skimpy with the arugula and romaine which made the volume of bowl greens too small. Greens are not the area to skimp on. Overall, my bowl was very tasty and I ate all of it. We came during peak lunch time. I noticed one single person did not have a table available so he asked if he could share a table with other patrons.

My wife and me are regular customers of that location and we never got disappointed. Michaela, Haley and Chase took good care of us tonight with perfect customer service. Kudos to the wonderful employees for the good food and the amazing service!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

The food is really good! The prices are amazing as well. Pita chips are THE best! I recommend the garlic sauce.

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.

Food, service and people are great. Love the choices and make your own options as well!

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.

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.

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!

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

I eat here a lot and have tried most of the menu. Ingredients are always fresh and flavorful. Service is good. There are always clean places to sit. This is a solid go to pickup a quick and tasty meal after a long day.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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**

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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.
