★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1First-timer, so naturally, I held up the line a little, but they were helpful. Welcoming, as we were warmly greeted. Clean environment. It was not crowded, til it was, and then the afternoon rush was intense. I witnessed grace under pressure, and everyone worked well together to clear the customers. Not exaggerating when I say it was like magic. It happened so fast. Freshly prepared selections. Pricey though flavorful. On a subsequent visit, they ran out of certain condiments/toppings midday, which was concerning since they close late. I'm also not certain how often they're replenished, if they are, but I've had to change orders a couple times because of this.
April 27 · Trae AléciaThis location is my absolute go to! Service is always top tier and the staff make you feel welcomed every time I visit. Pete is extremely friendly and give exceptional service! The food is always fresh and delicious .I love this location !
July 17 · T StanfordChefs here are amazing, everything is very well cooked and seasoned. The employees are super pleasant and they all deserve a raise for outstanding customer service. Cava never disappoints!
April 07 · Real ReviewerThis Cava location is definitely a hit!! The food is always fresh, cooked just perfectly, and the employees are fantastic!
July 03 · Mary RosarioOn a rainy Saturday afternoon, my sister and I walked into this Cava location where we were warmly greeted by Pete. We went on to order two greens and grains bowls. The young ladies on the line, Nayeli and Yasmina, made our bowls with great care. Nayeli offered some recommendations and encouraged me to try the tzatziki. It was delicious, I am so glad I tried it! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch!I highly recommend this Cava location if you’re in the area. It’s clean, has fresh food and wonderful hospitality.
