    Julia was awesome - we’ve not been here for a while and she was so good at explaining what the toppings were and giving her suggestions. The food turned out amazing!!!

    I’m a regular, and Cava is one of my favorite places for lunch. The staff is friendly and the food is always good! I particularly like their greens and grains bowl with crazy feta. Cava also offers unique drink choices, from Blueberry soda to fruit drinks and various teas on tap. Teresa and Julie were my friendly and attentive servers today, and the other staff are also good. I tend to come before the rush as parking can be difficult during the lunch hour.

    Julia was such an amazing help to us. They explained everything that went to our bowl that we were trying out. Added bonus is the good conversation we had with them even if we were there late at night. Would be totally happy if we see them there again.
