- RRrachel2 days ago5.0CAVA in Union NJ IS AMAZING! Ty, Engel, and James worked very hard to give amazing service to everyone in the restaurant even with long lines. And Danny the cashier greeted me with a smile and even offered me complimentary pita chips. I loved the atmosphere at this Cava and I recommend everyone to come here, all the time!
- JCJamaal ColemanNov 17, 20251.0I’m quite frustrated because when they first opened everything was fine. As time went on I was ordering on UberEats/DoorDash and they were forgetting to add sauces to the bowl so they would come up dry. This last time I came in I was told I was unable to order pita chips because they were out and the ones that were available were only for online orders. It’s frustrating when I’m willing to spend extra money on something I’m unable to have especially when my experience online they have forgotten things. Def disappointed!
- JGJeff GilmoreNov 13, 20255.0absolutely great experience at the cava in union. ty and james were incredibly helpful and personable. even coming in right before closing, the food was still fresh and flavorful! their friendly service made the visit even better, and james even did a little dance!! if i’m in the area again, i’d definitely return.
- SRS ReddingtonNov 12, 20255.0Absolutely love coming to this Cava! And will always come out of my way for this one specifically, especially when Engel is on staff because the food is always fresh, stocked and the best avocados are there 😆.. Staff is always friendly and always let me try anything, including promo items..
- CTchan themanNov 11, 20255.0Absolutely love this place. Would honestly prefer stopping here for a quick order of food over any other spots in the area (e.g. chikfila, qdoba, even chipotle!). Every time I stop here, the place looks spotless, both the dining area and behind the line. They’ve never run out of any of my favorite food items, and everything tastes fresh and delicious (the pita chips are a true MVP). Also the drink options? Incredible. Super refreshing (I dream about the cucumber-mint). The employees have also always been super kind, professional and friendly, especially Ty. This spot is truly a gem. I hope the quality never changes!
