    Went to the Cava located Terminal 2 and it was a big turn off by the person serving your food. She was rude and does it listen. The worst park is, there was no one In line. The other just don’t speak English which can be annoying. I asked for jalapeno and was given olives instead. Never go there again.

    Food is always good, when they have it. Ive gone here often when transiting DCA and I must say the service is getting worse and worse. Most servers dont know English, I mean I dont expect you to be a linguist, but you cant just memorize your own menu? Sign says theyre open till within 30 minutes of last departure and yet by 7pm, they ALL look like theyre ready to close right then. Items are not "sold out", theyre just not restocking them through the later evening with still +2 hours till that last departure. Im probably just going to stop eating here. I wont eat at the other location either until this location sees more professional changes. Sad, but Ill save my money...

    Walked over after our flight was delayed 4+ hours after we looked up their hours to make sure they were open. They were packing up everything and told us they were closing at 8:40pm.

    The worst CAVA experience ever. My chicken bowl was awful. The hummus I think had gone bad. They also didn’t have most of the regular toppings or sauces. I also wasn’t able to scan my loyalty account.
