    Ron was literally the sweetest server I have come across in a while. He was very vibrant, talkative, and overall his kindness just shines off of him. Super sweet guy! Hard worker man deserves a raise. But honestly the entire team was super sweet. I think the other people were Malissa, Haily, and Javi. One of the girls helped me too and were super patient with me as I was confused when ordering lol. I’ll definitely come back to this location these people deserve a raiseeeee!

    I went to cava four years ago did not have the best experience and so returning four years later to a different cava, I have to say the service and the food was outstanding especially the service by Rocco. The management team was great as well and the place was clean.

    I came to cava, I was so excited. I got a young man his name is George. Worst experience ever, he threw my entire plate in the trash after I asked if he could remove the corn, I would’ve been fine but he didn’t even ask me anything he just tossed it. I asked for pita bread and tossed it at me… just very very dissatisfied and upset over this experience

    Quality control needs to be improved at this CAVA location. If you’re ordering To Go, DOUBLE CHECK that they actually remembered to put the requested dips/spreads in your bowl. On multiple occasions, dips/spreads were forgotten in to go orders. Supervisors need to implement a better protocol/checklist to minimize chance of items being missed, and/or workers need to do a better job executing these protocols.
