    this cava is the worstttt. i got to the front of the line & then they decide to tell me they’re out of most of their toppings. like the stuff that makes the bowl, the bowl. what do you mean? go buy more corn for crying out loud. last time i was here the employees were also incredibly rude to my mom who asked a questions since she had never been to cava

    For the hectic lunch rush that it was, Marietta handled the craziness with ease. All the employees were very attentive and patient. This was my first time at cava but definitely not the last.

    Food was fresh and amazing! All staff is incredibly nice and patient, handling the stress of a big lunch rush well! Marietta went above and beyond and helped me use my app while still assisting all customers with a smile.

    Marietta and Joseph helped us - and despite a continuous line to the door (very busy, which is typical here) they kept the line moving efficiently, and were exceedingly pleasant and helpful. Thanks for always providing a great experience and amazing quick food.

    Love this location!! The employees are very friendly and even when the line is long, they work through it quickly and efficiently. They even wash their hands and change gloves in between individual customers! I have never seen that before but it put my mind at ease for sure. 10/10 would recommend!
