Placed a mobile order on 11/20 around 8 pm. They forgot to add my grilled steak on my order! I live about 45 mins away from this location, i didnt bother to eat my bowl until i got home and notice they didnt add my grilled steak. Disappointed i was excited to eat my dinner.

I’ve been a regular at this location since they opened, loved everyone I’ve interacted with!
I always come between 12-4pm since my lunch time varies, they’re always consistent, helpful and fast.
if im in the mood sometimes I’ll help people in line with me to make their decision, but overall thank you Cava staff for being patient always.
I eat here 2-5x times a week, so at this point I always order the same thing:
Bowl to go, All saffron rice, no greens please, harissa chicken, cucumbers, pickled onions, feta and topped with yogurt dill. Half blueberry tea and half black tea.
Be nice to the staff, pick up after yourself, and everyone’s gonna have a great time.

Horrible experiencia, no vamos a volver más. Fuimos alrededor de las 21:30 y como fue la primera vez que íbamos teníamos un par de preguntas y la señorita que nos atendió fue muy grosera, no tenía ganas de contestar nada y si lo hacía, era de mala gana.

I recently visited the CAVA location at 1130 S Alma School Rd in Mesa and was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the food and the level of service provided. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and warmth throughout my visit.
Each team member I interacted with was attentive and personable, offering helpful suggestions and ensuring my order was prepared exactly as requested. Even during a busy lunch hour, the staff maintained a positive attitude and handled the line with impressive coordination and speed. Their teamwork and genuine customer focus elevated the overall experience beyond typical fast-casual standards.
The restaurant itself was clean, well-organized, and inviting. My meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, a reflection of the pride the team takes in their work.
In a market where fast-casual dining often feels impersonal, this CAVA location stands out for its combination of great food and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh, healthy, and reliably excellent dining experience in Mesa.
