Vegans, Vegetarians, and Plant- Based Foodies: THIS REVIEW IS FOR YOU! Are you craving something more healthy and whole? Are you tired of going out to eat with your meat eater friends but being reduced to some fries or a bland salad ? LOOK NO FURTHER! Cava has something for EVERYONE! The prices are reasonable and the dining area inside of the restaurant is clean and spacious. There are plenty of options for parking in the area. The employee who helped me may have been named Kayla. She had such a sweet energy and was extremely helpful with helping me decide how to customize my grain bowl. Many of the dressings and dips are vegan and the hummus is to die for! She even let me try a few samples of the dressings to help me decide. Cava has vegan options to substitute in the place of meat like falafel and roasted veggies. Their drinks are healthy and refreshing. When I took the first bite of my food , I started doing a happy dance. When all of the flavors come together, it sends your tastebuds on an awesome ride ! It was exactly what I needed: delicious and filling. Check out Cava and bring your friends and family with you! You won’t be disappointed!

Jon was absolutely amazing. He guided me on what to order because this was my very first time experiencing CAVA. He made sure my experience was pleasant. Would definitely recommend!

They continue to impress me when I order carry-out! It was ready upon arrival and I loved it! So quick and simple! Now I can enjoy and watch basketball.

My partner and I decided to try the Cava location on Two Notch, and now we only regret that we didn’t come sooner.
We had glanced over the menu before arriving, so we knew what to expect of the food options. There was a trio of older folks in front of us in line who were obviously first time customers, but the ladies on the assembly line were super patient and kind in making sure they knew about the different options and in getting what they wanted. It was very nice to see such professionalism from a customer service staff.
The food itself was immaculate. We each had a bowl loaded with fresh ingredients including protein, veggies, and toppings. The bowl blend went exquisitely with the side of pita chips that was available as a side item.
Suffice to say, we will back soon at this location with empty bellies in anticipation of another delightful dining experience.

The two notch location used to be pleasant but now the manager Dan is gone and they have two female managers that aren’t customer friendly. The Manager Katie is the worst with a horrible bedside manner and energy that is extremely dry and standoffish. Both female managers could care less about the job and it shows.
I normally get dressing on top of my salad and two dressings on the side and never been charged extra. Katie charged me and argued with me in front of customers. Then when I looked in my bag she hadn’t put the extra dressing I paid for in my bag. The next time I came in she said I could only get one dressing and then charged me for the second. In addition the pita chips there are always hard because they let them sit out and refuse to make more until the old ones are gone.
Customer service here is horrible now complete change from before. I’m so uncomfortable going to this location now so I won’t go back again. I’d rather drive 30min to one of the other locations where they’re always smiling, make you feel good about coming in and treat customers like they matter.

I visited on 11/28 around 9pm. I visit this CAVA location often and spend a lot of money here. Unfortunately, one employee who prepares the bowls is consistently rude and standoffish, making visits uncomfortable. The daytime is completely opposite. Great service and great food. The night shift is horrible and makes it very I unpleasant to visit there.
On a prior visit, she was extremely disrespectful to my 75-year-old father, who has trouble seeing, when he asked questions about the menu. Instead of helping, she told him to “read the list.”
I returned again this evening and experienced the same behavior—passive aggressive, loud, and openly rude. When I addressed it calmly, she threw my change on the counter, mocked my work uniform, called me names, and argued with me. Completely unprofessional.
The manager on duty was just as dismissive and failed to address his employee’s behavior. After waiting nearly 10 minutes, I still received cold chips and a poorly put together bowl.
Very disappointing experience. Be prepared for poor service when this employee and manager are working.

I went here for the first time. It was something I been wanting to try for a long time. So I decided to go. I got a bowl. The build yourself bowl. I had rice n romaine lettuce. I had the feta cheese mixture along with the grilled chicken. The chicken was flavourful. I then put some veggies on it. I added the sauces to the side. Good thing I did. I wasn’t a fan of the shug sauce. Not sure of the spelling. I then got some balsamic sauce and omg yes that was amazing. Should have gotten 2 more. It was so good. I was impressed. Talking about it now I wanna go get another one now. I was very satisfied with the food. I did give it only 4 stars because they were out of a few things at the time. They were also out of Shwarma sauce, for the shwarma bowl. Otherwise everything else was great. Will def go again, and again, and again.
Edit: girls were very nice today. Loved the braised pork. First time I tried it. My favorite dressing is the balsamic and garlic. Yummy

My family and I don’t eat out much but when we do, it’s CAVA!! I’m officially being teased from my family for how often I suggest to eat here over any other place. I know quality food and CAVA nails it. Every time I come the food is fresh, the portions are just right, and the sweet tea and lemonade is made with love!! I like the fact that this establishment only serves chicken or lamb and falafel for veggie options because those are my favorite meats. Hands down thee very best Mediterranean food!
When you get your bowl or salad, don’t forget your pita chips, they are a must have!
So good!! 10/10

We absolutely love to go eat Cava. Tonight was super disappointing. Now, I know places can be busy and don’t get a chance to clean up as much as they would like however there is a point where you need to stop and wipe things down. The toppings section was absolutely disgusting with feta cheese all over the place, cucumbers , tomatoes and all kind of stuff just all over the metal like a tornado went through it. They made no attempt to clean it and then I actually saw them shove the Cucumbers back into the bin after it was on the counter and cross-contaminated with other toppings! Also, the toppings that were in the bin were already cross-contaminated , this is unacceptable and absolutely disgusting !! Despite their A rating on the outside of the door that is not what I saw when I walked in tonight. And to make matters worse we were told we had to wait 30 plus minutes if we wanted braised lamb because they had to cook it. It’s one thing if the store completely ran out of an item but to not have it prepared is another thing. I will never go back and plan on passing along my discusting experience.

I actually liked this location but the past few visits hasn’t been good. First off don’t order here past 830pm because they like to shut down early and clean up while customers are still placing orders (i got there at 9) you can’t even get your order correct because they will run out of things and say they stopped cooking after a certain time. They get careless about clean after a certain time too because the area where they serving the food was filthy! cross contamination at its finest. Ended up forgetting my chips because they “make the chips each order” i forgot to wait because i was confused and shocked they shut the juice fountain down and ol girl had to literally pour my drink.
I don’t under why they trying to hurry and clean up when the restaurant closes in hour.
