Very slow for online orders waited 20 plus minutes in a nearly empty store. Also saw the employee pull a piece of chicken out of a bowl ge was making to throw at a coworker. This chicken then fly back into the service bar .

Hands down one of the best CAVA experiences I’ve had! The restaurant was spotless, the staff was super friendly and informative, and the food tasted incredibly fresh. Everything from the grilled chicken to the sauces was perfectly seasoned and served fast. I loved how clean and calm the atmosphere was, it felt modern but still warm and welcoming. You can tell the team here takes pride in their work. Visiting from Georgia, I was impressed with the food and staff.
If you’ve been thinking about trying CAVA, this is definitely the spot to go. 10/10 experience all around!

$10.80 to park on a Sunday night? Went here at 6PM on a Sunday. Technically they only have three spots assigned in the parking garage (and they're for takeout only). So as not to be a bad person we were going to park in one of the other garage spaces. The app wanted $10.80 to park. There is no free parking other than those three takeout spots. So we parked in the takeout spots and ate inside. Typical CAVA, lentils crunchy/overcooked. The restaurant is decorated in cold concrete with overflowing trash cans. Employees joking around behind the counter and not cleaning the seating area.

Love this Greek restaurant! The food is fresh and customizable — you can build-your-own bowls and salads, they have delicious pitas and omg the Greek Chicken (chefs kiss). The staff and management are friendly, attentive, and clearly care about every detail. Highly recommend!
