I love Mediterranean food and I've heard of CAVA but have never tried it until now. This is like a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, but better, IMO. You can pick from having a bowl, or a pita sandwich. I opted for the greens and grain bowl (got the lentils) with grilled chicken. I loved the variety of toppings that were available like hummus, tzatziki, corn, cucumber, tomatoes, pickled onions, and the dressings were great too! If you like spicy, you can kick up your meal a notch by getting the hot harissa vinaigrette. The food tasted really fresh and I loved the pita bread that came with it. If Mediterranean food is your jam, you should definitely give this chain a try! read more

CAVA - Green & Greens + Grains Bowl with chicken - Salad Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Wonderful dining option in the prudential center shopping center particularly if you're in the mood for something lighter and a bit healthier. They have bowls and pitas; I had the build your own bowl which includes various customization options including different types of hummus and proteins. Service was kind of "meh" as no one seemed very friendly and initially they seemed to struggle to understand exactly what we were saying. There are some nearby tables in a small food court area. My custom bowl was delicious, though, and an amazing mingling of different flavors! read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl - Salad Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Looking for eateries with vegan options in Boston is not as simple as you might think. Simple swaps like tofu instead of chicken, for example, were not common. I was very happy to find CAVA in the Back Bay area. It's basically Mediterranean fast food done well. It's a bit like Chipotle in how it operates, but not Mexican. I ordered a make-your-own bowl with favorites like brown rice, falafel, lentils, arugula, hummus, veggies and pita. One sister ordered a pita wrap as listed on the menu and the other ordered a falafel bowl as listed. Portions were generous and I couldn't finish mine. Everything was very fresh. Seating was limited on the main floor of the store in Back Bay, but there was outdoor seating and an upstairs. The food preppers were knowledgeable about their products and great with suggestions. I found a site that suggested CAVA was coming to Omaha in 2026. I'm hoping that is true. read more

CAVA is always a great option for when you're looking for a quick grab & go lunch! I honestly always forget that there is a CAVA right by the Sak's in Prudential and tend to go to the one outside, down the street. Not sure if it was just the day I went, Saturday afternoon, but service was very slow and only one person was working the front & making the bowls, one bowl at a time. I ordered my usual bowl, with arugula and saffron rice base with harissa honey chicken & lamb meatballs for proteins. I like to add corn, tomatoes, feta, pickled onions, and cucumbers, as well. For dips, I typically go with the tzatziki, eggplant, & crazy feta and for dressing, I opt for the garlic. Overall, I enjoyed my bowl! I did notice that the portion sizes here are definitely not as generous as you'd find at any of the other locations, including the ones in the city and even the one down the street. read more

I was in yesterday! AMAZING service from Jess at Pru location. THANK YOU - I will be back!

My friend and I stopped by Cava for a quick lunch because it's conveniently located inside the Prudential Center, right behind View Boston. I ordered ahead using their app, which was super easy to use and made customizing my bowl simple. The food was delicious and everything tasted really fresh! I just wish the portion size was a bit more generous. It might be better to check out the over CAVA location down the street for better portions and seating though.. Staff were efficient and the pickup process was smooth read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Amazing make your own salad place! So delicious! Very busy for a 2:00 late lunch, which I think is a good sign! Location was perfect, right in downtown Boston. Think of this as a subway but for salads! There are so many options for literally everything! Lettuce, grains, meats, sauces, veggies, everything is so fresh. I was basic and just got a salad with arugula but you can add grains and pita. I added the chicken, humus, feta, and tomatoes. This was very filling for a late lunch. Also, there were so many drink options that weren't the typical coke, sprite, lemonade. They had their own take on it! This Cava had indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating was limited, so we sat outside. It was nice, but the tables were dirty, and they were out of napkins at the time so we couldn't wipe off. read more

I enjoy visiting Cava when I get the chance, but I don't think I'd re-visit their Prudential location anytime soon. The food is tasty and service is pretty quick, but I was just very disappointed with the portion sizes here. Anytime I order a salad or bowl at other locations, it's usually enough for at least two servings for me. When I ordered the Steak Mezze Salad on my visit, it was barely enough for one serving. Especially when you consider the price, this just doesn't feel worth it to me. It was still tasty and the ingredients were fresh, but I wasn't super impressed. read more

This is a solid and reliable spot for a great grain or salad bowl. It's my go to! This is my go to spot for a filling lunch. It has great options for everyone. I feel you get your monies worth. During the cold months the space is limited, not a lot of seating is available. I love creating my own bowls and I love you can switch it up. On occasion you can get a person in the seating area that seems sketchy but it's near all the library where a lot of homeless people like to hangout m. read more

CAVA - Every topping they have ! - Salad Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

While they have good food & service, sometimes it's hit or miss here. It's basically your typical salad grain bowl place that you find all over the city. Although there are healthy options, when you're vegan you should be able to get more veggies for less money. There is apparently a rewards program but not really useful if the staff don't ask or tell you about & then you forget. When they are doing their prep work they need to make sure to chop things properly or end up w/ a huge chunk of something that you're not sure what veggie it is, nor does it look appetizing. read more

Lunch time gets real busy but as someone who works in the area , this staff does a good job keeping the line moving and getting us in and out quick. The portions are fairly consistent day over day and they serve with a smile. read more

I based my visit on a friend's recommendation of a fast and healthy lunch option, and Cava delivered on both fronts. I ordered the Lentil Avocado bowl, one of the meat-free options. The serving of avocado was generous, but the bowl was very light on the rest of the ingredients. For example, I only received two small falafels and a sprinkle of lentils in my bowl. I also wasn't a fan of the contrast between the soft, overcooked carrots and the crunchy raw Brussels sprouts + cabbage. On a positive note, the service was very efficient and friendly. Clearly a popular lunch spot among professionals in the area, Cava's lunchtime rush moved surprisingly fast through the line. read more

I love this place! The prudential center has a lot of options, but I always find myself coming back to cava . They do great (crazy for the crazy feta!!!) read more

What is wrong with this Cava? It seems like the staff wasn't paying attention to the work they do. I placed my order on the app. 15 minutes in advance for takeout. When I got there, they haven't even started making my order. It passed the promised ready time. He didn't even prepare my order right. My order was missing a lot of ingredients! It was missing everything besides chickens and arugula. I am so mad. I paid $11.75 before tax for just some chicken and arugula? Where is my tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onion, corns, spinach, cucumber and romaine? read more

Bowl with falafel... Not a repeater as my dad would say. Referred by everyone on Boylston Street to Cava. They all said it was better than Chipolte. Ingredients were fresher, veggies and what not, but overall the amount of chicken or steak was not very large. They did have lamb which my buddy doubled up on and he liked it but said not worth going back. Healthy options, simple menu, cool place, good. Soda fountain and cold tea options were great... Outdoor and indoor seating. $14.95 for a bowl. Worth trying and comparing for yourself... bathroom was one person, clean and big room downstairs to eat as well. read more

Balsamic date chicken is awesome. Hope you make it a permanent item. Service is great too.

Still very solid option. Delicious toppings that are so full of flavor. I came here today around 2 PM. It was still pretty busy. The staff seemed to be working pretty hard, which is pretty rare these days. I also tried these crispy bread things today, they appeared to be flash fried or something. They were delicious. It would be 5 stars if price point a bit lower but I know they like to pay their workers a good wage. Bonus: restrooms very clean and locked to keep out riff raff. read more

This restaurant practices random acts of kindness. The food is great. They go out of their way to give outstanding service which is not often seen. My favorite place to eat. Thanks to Cava and there outstanding team as always. read more

Nice concept, a Chipotle-like assembly line for Mediterranean food. However they were out of Tzatziki sauce and romaine! Can't run a business like that! Food was pretty good despite this. Some limited outdoor sidewalk seating. Fresh teas/fruit drinks available. read more

CAVA Prudential is my favorite food. CAVA in the Prudential building has the BEST service out of the many locations in and around Boston! Today, Sunday, 10/27/2024. I went to get a salad bowl the line was moving when observed the staff there were only two in the entire restaurant. Alex was replenishing food and making orders. Jose was cranking out the orders for those of us in line. As I was making small chatter and being appreciative for their smiles and swiftness, I asked where were the others who are usually there working, and it was sadly confirmed that it was only the two of them. I was again thankful and give a shout out with high regards and BIG THANKS to Jose and Alex for their professionalism while SHORT very SHORT STAFF. Although, you wouldn't have known the were short because they worked the crowd with smiles and grace. THANKS GUYS. keep up the great service and pleasant ambiance. BUT I hope you don't have to work this way ever again! read more

My order was late, and then incorrect. I was given a credit to come back and give the restaurant another chance but then that was deleted from my app when I asked for a refund as I was not able to eat my food. Why bother offering if you're going to take it back. read more

Smallest portions I've ever seen at a Cava. Absolutely blasphemous. Cava is usually a safe space, but damn, it was hostile. Barely any greens in the greens and grains. NO GREENS. Horrific. Don't go to this location. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

If you're hungry, eat somewhere else. Cava portions are typically quite large and often two meals for me. I tried this location a few weeks ago, ordered a greens and grains bowl with plenty of toppings, but the bowl was half-full missing a handful of the toppings. I gave them another shot today, while all of the toppings were there (I think), the bowl was still not full and there was no salad dressing. Disappointing read more
