Just encountered such horrible service with the manager and staff. Charged a kids plate and no toppings. Manager acted as she was doing me a favor on rice when I questioned what happened to the kids pita. They (manager and the server) spoke down to me as if I haven’t paid for my order. The manager said corporate would not care if I said anything to them in which I find it hard to believe how they wouldn’t listen if something wrong is going on in there establishment. Also this manager has waived plates in exchange for reviews in such a sweet way in the past. Which I never thought bad about the place but once she gets what she wants she treats the repeat visit as if you are the one needing the food. Mind you there are lots of other food establishments all around even a chipotle across the street. I guess her reviews are up that her attitude was terrible today. Definitely felt racism from the staff and don’t intend to visit this place. Racism from this place is definitely felt!

I wouldn’t recommend Cava to anyone I know nor will I try it again. Everything was so soggy, it was dripping everywhere. I literally had to take it home to be able to eat it cuz it was so messy and again really SOGGY and some of the liquid, which wasn’t the sauce, was dripping on my clothes.
Definitely not even worth the price nor the experience. The flavor wasn’t right, I ordered a Shawarma. The wrong type of bread was used and the spices were far away from a Shawarma flavor.

We absolutely love our CAVA team at the Gainesville location! My family and I come here often, and the experience is always consistently great. The food is fresh, the portions are generous, and everything is packed with flavor. You can really tell the team cares about getting orders right and treating people well.
Whether we’re dining in or picking up on a busy day, the service is always fast and friendly. The restaurant is clean, the team is upbeat, and they always greet us with a smile. It’s one of those places you genuinely enjoy coming back to time and time again.
Thank you to the entire Gainesville CAVA team for always delivering a delicious meal and great energy — we appreciate you!

Every time I’ve come to CAVA, the workers have been absolutely wonderful and the food always fills me up without making me feel super stuffed or gross afterwards. It’s a great place I love to go with my friends while filling our bellies with a healthy and nutritious meal!

Great spot for some healthier, Med-inspired food…stopped in for an early lunch today.
Salads and bowls are great…food is fresh and the service is always friendly. Only drawback is the AC is always on full blast.
Special shout-out to Manuel who took great care of me and my Bride today!

Awesome CAVA location and an even better team! I wanted to shout out Arlin and Chris for being incredible when it comes to customer service. They went above and beyond to make my experience wonderful and they were so kind in doing so. I really appreciate when a business has people like these two who make it a joy to come back again and again. Thank you Arlin and Chris!

I ABSOLUTELY love this Cava, the food is great and the staff is even better. I do doordash and order food for myself as well. The staff is extremely friendly, knows me by name, always smiling and warm. They make me want to eat Cava everyday. Highly recommend… If I could give more than 5 stars I would…

Cava food has always been our favorite takeout..my daughter’s love thier kids meal..we have been having food from CAVA in Falls Church for years. But since we moved to Gainesville, I cant say the food taste the same. Not excellent but not bad. I am just writing this review to highlight the fact that THE PORTION SIZE AT GAINESVILLE IS UNACCEPTABLLY SMALL compared to everywhere else. It feels like the servers are trying very hard to save food ..Especially in rice bowls. 1 portion is hardly enough for one person. I usually eat small portions. But these bowls are not enough for me too.

I had such a wonderful experience, and a big reason why was Mirna!
She was incredibly helpful while I was deciding what to order, but what truly stood out was her warmth and genuine hospitality. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcomed and cared for.
It’s rare to come across someone who doesn’t just serve food, but nourishes your spirit too. Being fed with that level of kindness and heart is something special.
Mirna made the experience memorable, and I’m so grateful for her presence.
