  The food is really good in spite of the worst staff in town. This place could be a 10/10 but I’ve been here 3 times now and each time it’s been long wait, dirty tables, and the most angry moody staff. It’s managements fault. This team has zero direction. There is a Chick-fil-A a mile away hiring from the same bucket of people, the difference is that they have training and leadership.

  Loved going here since it opened until today. Today the black lentils were like eating gravel. The staff knew that the lentils had gone bad but did nothing about it. I made them throw out their lentils but they said it would take over 30 minutes to cook a new batch. And by the way, my chicken tasted very stringy and tough today and furthermore my Spouse ordered a bowl here today and she also experienced a Rocky road today. I don’t know if her rice was not cooked fully or if it had been out in the kettle too long but it also was like eating gravel. I’m not sure if I can come back here again. I’m still gonna give it one more try but this is really embarrassing the way this restaurant is being run right now.

  After trying Cava a couple of times in the Orlando area, I was so excited to find one locally! Because we have a project nearby, every time we drove past I was always telling my husband " I can't wait to bring you there you're going to love it." Well today was that day, and let me tell you what an absolute disappointment. After I heard the worker repeat to the customers in front of me over and over again " that's an up charge" to almost everything they asked for, including like getting rice and lettuce as a base, without any clear prices I knew we were probably going to end up more paying more than expected. Sure. It wasn't until I got to the toppings portion that I realized that there was a choice to get lettuce as a topping and she wasn't telling anyone that was ordering with rice and lettuce as a base. I assumed that if I didn't order lettuce as one of my bases, I wouldn't get it in my bowl. I was upcharged and so were all the people in front of me that ordered the same thing in front of me. I paid more for steak, I paid more for lettuce, I paid more for avocado, I paid more for extra eggplant dip. ( not just what you would expect an additional charge would be, like maybe under a dollar maybe under $2. These up charges are like between $3 and $4 EACH. Whatever. Still, I was super excited. That garlic sauce is one in a million and so is the eggplant dip. The itty bitty little scoop that you get for it certainly isn't enough for the whole bowl, so I always get extra. They also don't just give you a little scoop of avocado, you get like half an avocado which I don't mind spending a couple bucks on. Let's get to the food quality because that's really where I got upset. After we sat down, I noticed that some of my lettuce was wilted and black on the end. I ended up having to pull out almost every single piece of lettuce out of my bowl, because it was just gross. My avocado was decent, there were a few little brown spots but I don't expect Perfection from every single thing. Then I went to go have some of the pita bread that came with my bowl, and it was stale and hard on the ends. By this point I was just so over it. What a huge letdown. The portion sizes are smaller than what they were in orlando, if I remember correctly. I did take note that my husband's Bowl was only like half full. He just got chicken and rice, with a few toppings, and they didn't even fill his bowl up halfway. Just a total disappointment for a restaurant that I was super duper excited to return to. I don't know if these restaurants are franchised, I'm also not well versed in what the standard portion sizes usually are, I just took notice of it especially since we spent like $35 on two bowls and a small drink to share. All In all, I'll definitely return to the ones in orlando. But this one really needs some work. Because this place has amazing potential. The food is delicious, the sauces and the dips are absolutely delicious. However, not when they're not fresh. I really hope they get it together and try to do better.

  I’ve been excited to try out this Cava after really enjoying the food at other locations. We went on a Thursday evening and it was pretty busy. The line was slowly moving. The staff were kinda just there to get the job done. They were not friendly nor rude. However, the food was delicious! They gave a nice portion size and everything tasted fresh. I would return for the food but would probably try ordering ahead to hopefully expedite the process.

  Is this Cava intentionally ruining the brand? I’ve been to other Cavas before so needless to say I was looking forward to eating here as I just moved to the area, but the line workers at 8pm on a Friday were trained to be rude and unhelpful. Is really greeting customers and smiling so difficult? But the cherry on top was to get to the toppings area, and there were NO TOPPINGS, and the guy couldn’t care less. When I asked them wasn’t I was warned about that when I started my order, he didn’t even answer. No apologies, no resourcefulness, he couldn’t care less that my order couldn’t be fulfilled. Does this store even have a manager or area manager that supervise the service? Of course we left, neither of our orders could be fulfilled, maybe it was a blessing in disguise as the salmon looked dry, not at all like the picture in the menu. But honestly, these line employees have zero people skills, they either haven’t been trained or they hate working in hospitality, but they ruined Cava for me
