    Every time I visit this location it’s always so clean and the food is so fresh. You can tell they take pride in their service. Even on busy days they work on the line fast. I will definitely take the drive to visit this location whenever I want CAVA.

    Small stingy portions, didn’t understand the hype but finally got the chance to dine and was unimpressed and disappointed. It’s a healthy food option which is great but servings were stingy paid 3.65 for a tablespoon of extra eggplant dip.

    I was so excited to try this place when I heard it opened! We went right when it opened on a Sunday, and were staring at the menu like deer in headlights and Diego made sure to explain everything to us without making us feel dumb. 😹 He was extremely patient, warm, and welcoming. Diego was even kind enough to let us try samples before we commit to putting anything in the bowls. Maggie was very sweet and rang us up very quickly. She even gave us extra cups so we could try their drinks! As this was our first time coming here, we were very impressed! The food was fresh and delicious! The atmosphere is bright and clean. I would definitely come back. 😋

    Food is good, actually. I love Cava. But the cashier, Walter, needs to fix his attitude. He was rude and condescending when I asked for the complimentary pita bread; it was our first time ordering in the restaurant. I was also unfairly overcharged for my meal. I got falafel in my bowl but they were nearly out; I said, ok, give me the remaining falafel, and instead of having them make a whole another batch of falafel right before they closed, I said, it's okay, just give me a small amount of a different protein option to round out my portion. I get the lamb meatballs, and I only ask for two, not a full portion. I get to the register and they charge me extra for a full portion of lamb. Which was not necessary! I would recommend ordering over the app because at least you don't have to interact with the staff that way.

    I am a frequent CAVA consumer. this location was extremely disappointing. i was excited to visit a new location that’s closer to my house. However, the staff was incredibly rude and none of them smiled to greet anyone walking in, including myself, it wasn’t busy at all when I went and I immediately was served by someone. compared to other nearby CAVAs, this location had poor food quality and very small portions. i was very disappointed in this new CAVA and probably will not be back .
