I like Zoës because it delivers fresh food fast and helps me maintain my diet when traveling. My favorite dish is the power grain bowl with chicken and a side of pesto hummus.

Healthy and Delicious! The steamed vegetables were disappointing on our first visit, being mostly broccoli, but the mixed fruit had a good variety in it's place.

1st time there and loved the flavorful dishes that appealed to my health conscious taste buds...I definitely will return

Pita could have been warmer and soft. The staff could put on a smile. Hummus was very tasty.

Light *4* Love

The people aren't as friendly as I it seems they would've been.... Came off as snarky and stuck-up.... Probably wouldn't eat here. Wish they had more Vegan options. Paleo diets are killing the planet.

Great place and location! Healthy, fast, affordable (about $10) nutritious, great customer service, and did I mention delicious? I downloaded the app because it’s my new favorite lunch spot! The lamb pita is amazing. And the basil hummus??? Fantastic! Love Zoe’s kitchen!

I love Mediterranean food and this place had great food. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The cleanliness can definitely improve. The floor was sticky and didn't look like it was mopped in over a month. And the tables were all dirty. I saw a couple customers wipe down their tables with a napkin. If staff can clean regularly then this place will easily be a 5 star.

The order took a long time to make for this genre of quick-eat restaurants. To be fair, though, it was noon on a weekday. Quality was decent. My cauliflower rice bowl was fresh and tasty. It wasn't a lot to eat but enough with a small side of potato salad. If you're looking for a rich, filling meal, Zoe's might not be your bag. It's certainly light and fresh, though, with a good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Loooooove Cava. Everything here is so delicious, you really can't go wrong. The option to do just grains, just greens or both as a base is a nice touch. I always get both. The meats are always fresh and I like how you can add as much veggies as you want AND three sauces. I'm a saucy guy so I love all the sauce options The staff is always super nice and helpful and patient as you decide all the goodness to choose from. I also appreciate how clean the Cavas are and not only with the food prep area but also in the drink area and trash areas. Highly reminded a visit here

Really enjoyed my experience at Cava this week! It's been many months since I've made a visit, and after a strong craving and being in the area I decided to stop in. The woman helping build my bowl was very helpful and even let us try some of the options such as the broccoli and eggplant. She was able to make suggestions and answered all of my questions/accommodated all of my requests. The food was great, I had the falafel and veggies with both types of hummus, and greens/rice/lentils as the base. It really hit the spot and was a delicious and very filling meal. Additionally, the pita is fantastic and I haven't had anywhere else that's like it. Would highly recommend for a quick Mediterranean fix!

Crazy what a name change will do. Zoe's kitchen who was in here before sold the same stuff and was better quality. Had the steak and it was worse than chipotle on a bad day. Google sodium and CAVA you're better off eating Smashburger.

Don't go there or to any restaurant an hour before closing My bowl look like they took Someone's half eaten bowl and topped it with a spoon of beef. It tasted like I was eating someone's spitted out food. Never ever not never again would I go there .... Just a waste of my money n time

Ok for fast casual I loved this!!! Pita sandwiches or grain bowls and you can build want you want OR the have some classic combinations! This pita sandwich was quite large and a bit messy in a good way! Lots of chicken, hummus, olives, lettuce and more. Really a fun lunch location that tge line is long for!

40 minutes late for an online pickup order isn't acceptable. Doesn't matter how understaffed you are or how busy you get. Change the system or don't allow online orders if you can't honor ready-by times. Never again.

Jacob is a service, super star!!! My co-worker and I dropped into the Denver (CO Blvd.) location needing 14 lunches on the fly. Jacob quickly jumped into action to get our order made and out the door! On top of this, he was short staffed but that did not slow him down. Thank you Jacob for helping to make our business lunch a delicious success ; ) Jennifer

Service was not good at all. Normally they fill the bowl and the girl barely put stuff in the bowl. Also she at first gave me 4 falafels and then another guy had her take out 2. Also staff was not friendly. Looked super unhappy there. Disappointed in our visit. I could go To chipotle and totally different experience and bowls are full for same price.

Food's good. Basically Mediterranean chipotle. But they label everything which is really convenient.

Whenever I'm in Denver, a visit to CAVA is a must. As a vegan, the diverse menu options never disappoint. The food leaves me feeling healthy and satisfied, and the value is unbeatable. The friendly and kind staff make each visit a joy. Can't wait for my next stop in Denver! I ordered the Greens & Grains Bowl: Greens - Arugula Grains - Brown Rice Dips + Spreads (up to 3) - Hummus, Roasted Eggplant, Harissa (spicy, but good) Mains - Falafel Toppings (unlimited) - Pickles, Cucumbers, Slaw, Kalamata Olives (I don't remember what else) Dressings (up to 2) - Lemon Herb Tahini & Balsamic Date Vinaigrette It was so good!! :)

The continuing saga of the one of the worst run fast causals... It's been 6 months since I'd been, so thought I'd give it a try again and see if it's improved at all -- flavors are pretty good so if it were run as well as a chipotle it would be a solid choice. Have given up on ordering online here (see previous), so walked in to a find a strangely slow line, not many people, but just... slow. As I walk up to order the counter guy yells, "good on chicken!" while looking straight at me, the guy back on the grill says "need chicken??", counter guy repeats "good on chicken!!", grill guy, "so you need more chicken?", counter guy finally turns around and yells, "no, we have enough chicken!!!". M'kay, psyched to order... Order a greek chicken wrap, first guy starts to make it and then hands it off to the next guy on the line without saying a word. Second guy is confused, says what is this?, followed by grumbling back and forth. He's unsure of how to finish it off, grabs a squirt bottle, but the impassive cashier who's watching tells him it's the wrong thing. So he turns around, walks back to a fridge, and grabs another bottle of the exact same thing and starts to use it, and the cashier say, "nope", but doesn't offer to help him or tell him what's wrong. Guy kinds of hems and haws and then just uses the first squirt bottle. Cashier looks at me and says "sorry". Think they used Italian dressing -- whatever. Get home and find that the grill guy must never scrape his grill because the chicken is inedible with chunks of burnt black chicken that must've been burning on the grill for hours. Just hard, gritty, inedible. This has to be the consistently worst run fast causal I've ever seen.

I ordered Cava for the first time yesterday through the app, which is really user friendly and nice that it shows the ingredients, allergens, and calories. My food was ready when I arrived, and I noticed the restaurant was very clean and bright. I got a salad bowl with arugula, splendid greens (would be nice if there was description of this in app), hummus, eggplant, tzatziki, grilled chicken, most of the toppings, balsamic date vinaigrette and hot harissa vinaigrette on the side, and the free side of pita. I think they forgot the broccoli but it's okay. I didn't really need the dressings but they were both tasty. I loved that I could add all the toppings without extra charge. The bowl was about $12 and was enough for a whole extra meal, and the leftovers was just as delicious. The meal was pretty healthy overall. I get the hype of Cava now and definitely will be returning. I hope a closer location will open near me in Lakewood!

Not sure if the guy was having a bad day or what, but this was my first time going to Cava and the guy gave me children sized portions on my bowl. Like half a spoon of rice, COUNTED 9 pieces of meat (which is +$4 if you want them but I was expecting more for $4). Little to no salad, and 1 falafel. Being honest: For a bowl of little amount of food, $17 is ridiculous. You can get a fuller bowl of Will not be coming back and I do not recommend it. Ps. The guy with the piercings was very nice and gave me extra salad when I asked for it. Very nice

Okay I LOVE Cava. Literally why would you eat at any other fast food spot when you could just get Cava instead? For a quite reasonable price for the portion, you can choose from a million different options to fill your bowl. Anyone who has dietary restrictions, or is just a picky eater can find something delicious. Personally I always get overwhelmed because there's so many amazing options, and I don't know what to get! Wish we had more Cavas in California :,)

I love coming to this Cava! The food is incredible but made even better by the cleanliness of the restaurant and the friendliness of the staff. They really make it feel homey, the best quick bite around.

First time having this it was actually door dashed and my daughter helped me order. I had a Grain & Greens bowl with saffron rice, splendid greens, tzatziki, red pepper hummus, avocado, chicken and falafel. I was very please would absolutely do this again!

This location is absolutely not where yelp says it is. It's 48 minutes away, downtown. I placed the order then found out after the fact that it's the wrong location. I'm logged into the website and there's no option to email support. I've called their phone number and no one is picking up. Very disappointed.

The food was really good but I don't recommend ordering online. I was missing four toppings on my bowl and a couple side sauces and an side pita and the chocolate milk. I also asked for all sauces to be on the side and some of them were put on the bowl. I did catch two of the missing items before I left, but I have never been there before so I wasn't aware that they keep their drinks in a separate bin and no one told me. I only realized that I was missing more once I got home, but I live too far for it to be worth it to even go back to get it fixed. Check your order before leaving.

I love how many options CAVA has -- whether it's your base, protein, veggies, or toppings, there is never a shortage of options and fun things to add! I also like how there are a lot of healthy options....Definitely a fiber-packed meal! For the price, I think portions are very generous; I can usually either get two meals out of a bowl, or one meal that leaves me full for 12+ hours. The last time I came here the brussels sprouts weren't fully roasted and there was either some sand or tiny rocks in the lentils that led to a few tooth cracking scares -- do not be like me and chomp aimlessly! But for the most part, quality is consistent. I've only ever done build my own, but will be back to try some of the curated dishes!

Love Cava! I got the Chicken and Right Rice bowl. The food is fresh, tasty, and a good portion. It's perfect for lunch where you don't want a heavy meal that makes you feel sluggish afterwards. The bowl was healthy with a mix of both rice and arugula. The tzatziki, hummus, and a bunch of veggies and toppings made it so flavorful and tasty. I also got a pita on the side, which was a little small, but good. Will definitely be coming back to try another bowl!

My go to quick & healthy spot! I've loved every bite every time I've gotten food from here. I can't seem to get away from the lentil avo bowl and I'm so ok with it. Super fresh ingredients and good bang for your buck when it comes to portions.

This place never disappoint. This is the type of place you go to when you want to go out and eat but still choose healthy options. With so much to choose with food and drinks you can never go wrong with that top tier customer service. Always interacting with guests and making everyone feel welcomed. Overall with the place looking great and clean and the service it is such a great option.

Food is always 5 stars. Service though? The man working behind the counter in a yellow hair net, was very rude and when I asked a question, he said "Exactly what it says on the sign" which yes, he's correct. But I was asking which red hummus was which, my fault! I've only been twice. And then told me his sinuses were acting up. Super sanitary. Also had his head down and took a massive sigh when I walked up to order. Again, lmao my bad. I'll go to a different location next time.

Bummed to give this place 3 stars because I know the concept and it could be great. I got a custom bowl. The saffron rice didn't have much flavor, the falafel were not great nor tasted super fresh. My bowl had way too much sauce and could be my fault for getting two sauces, but would assume the employee would ration when saying I want two sauces. Also, the employees all had no smiles, and seemed frustrated to be there. A couple even talked back to each other. The counter was pretty messy which is in line with the lack luster service. Don't know if I would be back, at least to this location.

Oh CAVA, how I love you from my time in Washington DC. I was so excited to find CAVA in Colorado! However, my experience at this store was disappointing. From the reviews, it looks like others have had similar experiences. I hope corporate/management takes notice and invests in more training at this location. It's sorely needed. I got the seasonal lemon chicken bowl because I saw on the menu it has fire roasted corn in it. Only once the bowl was half assembled did the staff mention they are out of grilled corn, which was literally the reason I picked this seasonal bowl. I shared this, and the staff basically shrugged -- no other action. At the end of the assembly line, they also said that they were out of the lemon vinaigrette, which was the second key ingredient for this bowl that was missing. 0 for 2 at this point. Again, no action offered from the staff. I picked another dressing. I was not given a pita with this salad even though I thought this was standard for CAVA salads. I asked for a drink and a cup for water for my companion and was (over)charged for 2 fountain drinks. Then, when filling the cup, I found a sign on the soda machine that they were out of ice. At this point, it was just so ridiculous. The food itself was good! I had missed CAVA! But it was not a pleasant experience given the attitude of the staff and them being out of 3 things I wanted on this trip.

Such yummy food! Lots of gluten free options. The service was quick and friendly. For a first time customer, I loved it! The place is very open and easy design. Easy dinner with a friend when wanting something simple, fast, and tasty!

I was waiting a while for them to restock during dinner time. Despite being slammed with people, everyone was really friendly. I especially want to highlight Keslin, he served everyone with a smile and repeatedly apologized for the wait. He brought a positive energy and attitude to what other wise would have been an annoying experience. Shout out to Keslin, easily employee of the month!!!

This was a perfect meal on a hot summer day. I ordered the build your own pita with a sized of rice. The food was messy but it was good. $15 is a little steep for the meal but it cost to eat

Great, healthy food, excellent service. I would have loved to express my appreciation for the young man (Roy) who did such an exceptional job patiently walking me through my options but there was no way to leave a tip!?! Odd.. would have been five stars if I had a way to show my appreciation.

I'm writing this review solely based on the quality of the food I got as a takeout at this location of Cava today (unfortunately the service wasn't great; the lady who assisted me never smiled and was very blunt towards me.) The lentil avocado bowl was probably the best Mediterranean bowl I've had in a while. And despite the size the total calories is less than 500 (if I'm not mistaken.) This is unbelievable to say in a few words. Now I can't wait to go back there and try other things on the menu although I'd hate for that blunt lady to assist me again (LOL!) If this place had low quality food then I'd never go back. But since the lentil avocado bowl impressed me so much this is a good enough reason for me to go back and get more of what else this place has to offer. It sure was a nice transition from what it used to be (Zoe's Kitchen) to this new place, Cava. I had enjoyed Zoe's tremendously and yet Cava is much better in overall menu and quality.

This place is a food safety nightmare. Employees need some serious training, especially around hand washing and glove etiquette. I do not recommend eating here.

Had some great experiences here so far. Only complaints would be occasional crunchy rice (they don't replenish it, rather give you the crusty bottom...yikes) and they never have pita chips available so you need to wait 5-10 mins. No food poisoning here unlike the Chipotle nearby.

Obsessed with CAVA. Much more filling than one of those salad places. If I have it for lunch I can skip dinner bc I'm still full. It's just a bunch of super tasty vegetables. After I introduced it to my bf he later gave me a gift card for CAVA for Christmas

Fresh ingredients, tasty, unique food!! I was overall very impressed with Cava! I love their sauces and all the ingredient choices - love that you can put as many toppings as you want! I think they're still working on service - not the most attentive, but the food made up for that. I'd definitely go back for more!

Ah the Mediterranean Chiptole. I ordered a pita bowl from them and gave me a sad half pita slice. I had to pay around 2 more dollars for a full sized pita. I'd recommend getting the bowl with carbs instead. When I paid, I say an employee take a dollar bill from the tip jar like if that was their second job. The food was okay for the most part, just the dang pita bread. The place was quite dirty too. Unwiped tables, messy floors and such. The place doesn't seem to be very inviting. Just black walls and tables. I should've spent money on some Korean fried chicken cooking across the lot instead.

The store manager Ray or Roy is horrible. They served us uncooked rice and we only realized when we got home. When I called to let him know he was defensive & rude. We drove all the way back and he gave my son a bowl that was less than half full. Then he proceeded to scream at me that he filled it to his standards. I explained that we did pay for a whole bowl and my son was not able to eat any of his first bowl because he mixed it before eating it and it was full of hard inedible uncooked rice. He continued to scream at me and defend that he only has to fill to his standards. I asked him several times to stop screaming. It was the worst wildest experience I have ever had. He never even apologized at all when we don't even live close and I had to make 2 trips there & back to replace their mistake. I asked if I could please know the name of the store manager and he refused to give it to me. We love cava but you really need to get rid of this manager.
