First time stopping into this CAVA in Financial District. It was quite busy for weekend lunch time but the staff were great! They made everyone's orders super quick & they didn't skimp on any of the ingredients either. I ordered my usual custom bowl: -arugula + saffron basmati rice -crazy feta, roasted eggplant, & harissa -harissa honey chicken -spicy lamb meatballs -corn -pickled onions -broccoli -tomatoes + onions -garlic dressing And I also got a drink: mix of blueberry lavender + jasmine green tea. My bowl was absolutely delicious! It slaps every time. And this time was no different! Highly recommend for a casual & quick meal. read more

Great service once again, 100% satisfied. Luz and Jesus on fire always helping me whenever needed. Food is great, love it here. read more

CAVA - #mixedbowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food - 9/10 only because sometimes I get shreds of lettuce that are on its way out the door. But the flavor and freshness of everything has been excellent. Well seasoned, delicious, and nourishing food! They somehow made food taste good and feel good too! Service - 9/10 these folks know how to keep a line going...until you get to the payment part. They have a system down pat to get people through the line as fast they can but the problem becomes that it is too fast and the cash register person can't handle them all at once. I get it, they want to move the line quickly. But it starts to get confusing when the end of the line slows down yet everyone else is full speed. Then payment feels rushed and I can never get a receipt. I've given up on that. But food is delicious enough that I'll deal with the line and inefficient cash register things. Place is nice and clean and always stocked well. Overall a quick and efficient place to grab lunch during the week. I can walk to the store, grab food, and be back within a half hour which is helpful when trying to get food in before my next meeting! read more

CAVA - Grain & Salad Bowl w/ chicken and falafel and tzaziki, cucumbers, tomato, roasted corn, avocado, and garlic dressing on the side. - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I love meals at Cava but the Summer Street location has some serious operations issues. It's not unheard of that, even when you order on the app, your salad still isn't on the pickup shelf half an hour after the stated pickup time. Which was why I chose the "text notification" option and gave them an hour-long lead time. I didn't receive a text so took my chances and walked to the restaurant. My order was not on the shelf but after inquiring it seemed the staff had kept it safe in the kitchen, which is fine, but I wish they would have sent a message to let me know it was ready for pickup. read more

This was so good! I have heard a lot about CAVA and this was my first time trying it. I ordered ahead and picked it up. I built my own bowl with harissa honey chicken because everyone raves about it. There was a nice kick to the bowl and the flavors were really good. Everything paired really nicely together. I also liked how I could get the dressings on the side. This was a super filling bowl and definitely worth the money! Would get it again and again. read more

Chipotle style Mediterranean! 5/5. You can build your own or chose a bowl or pita blend. It was absolutely delicious and prices were fair. I do with there was a little more protein, I got falafel and only got 4 and it wasn't much. Service was quick and friendly. Plenty of seating but felt dirty. read more

CAVA - Falafel build your own - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My go to Cava location (close to work)! Perfect for lunch or dinner and they use fresh ingredients! It does get really busy during lunch time though, it may be faster just to go in person. Super easy to order on the app! I really like to do a build your own Grains and Greens Bowl with chicken. My favorite sauce combo is crazy feta, red pepper hummus, and the balsamic date vinaigrette! read more

CAVA - Greens and Grains Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food is like any other Cava, it's pretty good and coming from Hawaii where we don't have it-I am always excited to see it on the mainland. The bad review is for Jennifer. I felt super rushed to make my choices, like when I was picking my three dips her tone and atrocities made me second guess if I was allowed three dips so I got two dips before she shoved me down the line. I also felt very embarrassed when I said I wanted romaine as a topping and she told me that I had to pick from the toppings directly in front of her, so romaine wasn't an option since it was to her left :(( It's a chain, just go to a different one. read more

This review has been in my drafts for a while now so it's only right to finally post it. This was my first time trying Cava, as I was on my way back home after a long day at work. The Cava location on summer street was extremely clean and the servers were very nice and attentive upon our entrance. As a first timer I opted for a bowl with half greens and half rice. For the proteins I went with the falafel, as I am a no meat eater. Just like chipotle you get to use s variety of toppings and veggies. Some of the ones I highly recommend are the picked cucumbers, pickled onions and the corns which we're extremely delicious. Something that I really liked about Cava is that you get to pick your sauces, their Greek yogurt sauce and hummus were so good and definitely made a difference in the taste of my bowl. I do not completely remember how much I paid for the bowl but it must have been around 12$, and on top of that I I clicked a side of their fried pita chips which were absolutely amazing. Overall I really loved my first time eating Cava and I highly recommend all my chipotle lovers to give it a try. read more

I find CAVA to always have superior ingredients with greater variety, as compared to similar stores. It's always my go to spot when looking for something healthy, quick and fast. read more

Great service, great food, very clean establishment. Luz the manager went out of her way to help me with my catering order. Thank you!

First time trying cava, and I was not disappointed. This is probably the best salad/bowl fast food place i've tried, and I will definitely come back. Love the different topping options, and the spicy feta spread was delicious. Came during a lunch rush so I ordered ahead of time, and my food was prepared on time! read more

CAVA - tahini caesar bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Cava continues to deliver on excellent food, service, and clean eateries! Despite some minor growing pains with a new location, this Cava has hit the nail on the head where it comes to the essentials. To start with, all of the ingredients are bright, fresh and high quality. No sad greens or veggies, and no proteins beset by water from sitting out too long. Secondly, the service has been very speedy and kind. Lastly, the location is very clean - which can be tough considering the location borders the Financial District and Downtown Crossing. Finally, I do have two minor notes - just feedback, not complaints: 1. I once asked for a kiddie Pita - which caused some confusion. Does he mean a bowl? A full pita? I guess an adult ordering something like that is a little uncommon. No worries 2. When deciding on a hummus, there was some confusion regarding what is what. Given, there is a label listing the possibilities, but asking "What is the orange one?" led to some confusion. I am thrilled to have a Cava so close to my work, and to have a location that I will enjoy (not dread) visiting, even if it is a grab & go affair. read more

Way Tastier Than Greco!! Spicy falafel salad is Packed with flavors and textures. Utilitarian setting (what if Panera but mediterranean?) Their custom iced teas/lemonades taste amazing too. No comment on service, we ordered online. read more

excellent food and very good flavor. I'm always going to eat that cava.I love juices. I love the Greek it contains grilled chicken

The food was delicious! We chose this restaurant because of allergies unhealthy preservatives that we can't eat, and our family of five left full and happy! read more

why would they put their most grumpy employee as the first person we talk to... i asked for Brown Rice and a little black lentil (never tried it before) and she plopped a huge scoop of those lentils all over my brown rice. She didn't even say hello or nothing. The bowl itself was pretty good but i think Naya is better. They need to school their employees on customer service... all the others on the line were not friendly at all and barely spoke. Not good for a new restaurant in the area. read more

Great service even in the height of the rush hour. The food is hearty and tastes fresh. I especially love that they make the sauces in house! read more

The food is delicious and fresh. Location gets pretty packed and there are limited seats. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Trying Mediterranean cuisine on my own for the 1st time, I was pleasantly surprised. You can't go wrong with the braised lamb, chicken nor falafel. The hot, house made, freshly made pita chips took my experience to another level. The tsaskiki, crazy feta, harisa was also on point! Definitely on my list of places when I travel. Keep up the great job! read more

I had a very great experience at cava, every time I go on I get greeted by the friendly staff and when I go to place my order they are so knowledgeable about the ingredients they serve. The quality of the food is top tier I never had a problem at cavas. Thank you to all the staff for your help. read more

Consistently messes up my order and leaves out ingredients. Portions are not what they should be (ordered a half salad/half a grain and got 4 pieces of lettuce. Cambridge location is a million times better/more reliable. read more

It's not worth, the walk and the price, the food nothing special, no customer what so ever, never again, ashamed my self the one time, The few tables are dirty, I stayed in for 2 hours just to be disgusted myself, read more

Not a good location. Never been there before so I tried it out. but felt so rushed as soon as I was inside. Line reaches all the way out the door. Barely any seating at all. The workers are all in a rush and makes ordering as a customer even more confusing. They messed up on my order and add sauces and stuff I didn't even ask for. Noticed it wasn't only mine they messed up on, By putting the wrong things in order bowls. Won't go again and the food ain't even good (maybe cause they added random stuff I didn't even ask for who knows) read more

Food is decent. Don't order in advance unless you have 15-30 extra minutes to wait for your order. Occasionally it's ready on time, but more often, I have to ask for it and wait an additional 15-30 minutes. read more

I wish i would have tried my usual Cava location in cambridge instead of 125 summer street. I ordered the chicken greek salad bowl which was so watery at the bottom, and did not taste fresh what so ever, it looked like it was just thrown together in a hurry, chicken was very chewy, I actually just threw the entire bowl in the trash, what a complete waste of my money, never again. I wish i would've taken a picture of this complete mess... read more

This restaurant is so tasty and reasonably priced except for the last time they kind of jacked it up with no explanation but it's fine

This new Cava location continues to deliver quality food with excellent service. The manager, Jeff, does an incredible job making sure his team always provides fresh ingredients and customers are satisfied with wait lines moving quickly in a busy area. This has become my go-to lunch spot. You won't be disappointed. read more
