    Love the concept and food is generally good. Must be an aweful place to work as general attitudes are terrible. Seriously never been able to find a place to sit in there that wasnt filthy and sticky. Even when they are slow it is downright gross. Gives one pause about kitchen. Is it just this location?

    I came here and the staff was very nice and professional. I enjoyed my bowl with recommendations from Neryberry. Service was 10/10 🙌

    We usually come to this location and the staff is normally really nice, which is why this experience was so disappointing. My girlfriend and I came in about 20 minutes before closing and were clearly treated like an inconvenience. Portions were noticeably skimpy — we paid full price and got what felt like half the amount of food we normally receive. I understand it may have been a long day, but the staff was already in pre-closing mode and the attitude reflected that. If you’re still open and charging full price, customers shouldn’t feel rushed or shorted. Hopefully this was just an off night, but it definitely wasn’t the experience we’re used to here.

    Cava on Oleander is so great. The employees are wonderful. The manager Kathy helped me Guided me as it was my first time eating cava, and she had a lot of patience with me with not knowing exactly what I wanted and even letting me test samples before putting them in my bowl. If I were in charge, I would give her a raise.

    Auto and Jayden are the best! Extremely personable and helpful. This was our first time visiting and we will 100% be back not only for the food but also because of these gentlemen. I will also be telling all my clients about this place
