  The staff were nice and the food looked good and tasted good. Its just that they gotta stop undercooking (or overcooking ) the rice. Enjoying it and then biting on a hard piece of grain makes it unpleasant to enjoy. Not sure how the process goes behind the counter but there’s gotta be a better way to cook the rice better than whatever management is thinking of.

  I ordered the spicy lamb and sweet potato bowl and am floored at the TWO small pieces of lamb. This might as well have just been a vegan bowl without the lamb. It’s weird to advertise this as being “high protein” but not adding a decent amount of protein to the bowl. I’ll be returning tomorrow for my refund and won’t be coming back to this location again. Mind you, my mom had the same experience at this location and I was willing to give them a chance anyway. Never again. The tangerine drink is also watered down and flat. They also forgot both of my sauces on the side that I ordered.

  I love cava but today a young male cashier with glasses from this location snatched money out of my hand. Excuse when discussed with manager was “stressful environment”. Im a line cook and have worked FOH and don’t take out my stress on other people. Will be making the drive to Snellvile location next time, They’re always lovely and don’t take out their issues with others.

  The food has potential but the brown rice wasn't thoroughly cooked. There are two people in the front both preparing/serving food and handling money with the same gloves they're using to serve the food. I couldn't get a picture of the drink area but it was filthy. To my surprise a third person came out and said goodbye to their coworkers with the place clearly in disarray. This is a poorly run establishment. It was our first time here and may be the last.

  I’ve always loved CAVA Buford, but it seems like they’re under new management now and it really shows. The new GM, Zach, comes across as extremely rude, impatient, and unapproachable. From a customer’s perspective, he feels cold and dismissive, and I’ve personally witnessed him speaking to employees in a condescending and disrespectful way. It completely changes the vibe of the store and makes the experience uncomfortable. It’s disappointing because this location used to feel welcoming, but now it feels tense every time I walk in. I hate to say it because I’ve loved this place for a long time, but I’ll be driving to other CAVA locations from now on because of how unpleasant the GM is.
