    " A great place for fusion salads and make your own plate " What a great place for salads. Or for the picky eater or the explorer that likes to make your own . Fresh , delicious and at a reasonable price . Staff is excellent, friendly. Vibe is welcoming. Parking is difficult but manageable.

    Salad bowl, pita crisps, chicken, yogurt dill, cucumbers, tomato and cucumbers, tzatziki

    Cozy establishment, similar to many diy bowl locations. What I like is that the menu allows you get order half portions so you can try two different bases and two different proteins. For my base, I chose arugula and romaine lettuce but instead of choosing two salads, I could have chosen a grain option if I wanted. The chicken was flavorful for sure! I was expecting plain boiled chicken but thankfully it's not plain grilled chicken either. The service was really quick because of the assembly line style. I wanted the person behind the counter change the dips/spreads when they were running low and noticed that they looked over the dip/spread before switching them out to make sure they were fresh. Nice place to grab a really fulfilling bowl with a cozy atmosphere! Didn't grab any drinks but there were an assortment of refreshing sounding drinks.

    I love cava! I tried it for the first time this week, and had it two more times this week because I loved it so much. As a vegetarian it has an amazing selection and the falafel is so good. The kids meal is the perfect portion size for me. I wish that there were more locations near me! I love that it is located on Boylston street and there is so much to do nearby. The service was very good as well, and it was a nice quiet, clean environment.

    I was a little bit underwhelmed by my visit to CAVA at the Fenway location. I absolutely love CAVA, but this location completely skimped me on the portion size and didn't provide the quality ingredients that I am used to during my visit here. I walked in during dinner time, it was about half full but no line. Right off the bat, they were out of saffron rice, which wasn't a problem-- I waited about 7 minutes for them to whip up a new batch. However, the girl at the counter seemed a bit annoyed while taking my order. I have the utmost respect for the food service industry, and I know people can have bad days, but there was no line/rush and I was demonstrating patience and kindness while placing my order and it is absolutely an expectation in my eyes to receive that from the other end. In addition, a few things went wrong with my order. When I came to the dips selection-- I am entitled to 3 dips. This is the menu policy. I had ordered 2, but every other location has always asked me if I want an extra scoop of my selection to bump it to 3. The girl did not ask me. Then, I ordered avocado, which was not ripe enough and was ICE COLD. Bleh. To top it off, no free side of pita. Also menu policy. I expected more from this location. I've had great experiences with all food in Fenway. I hope I can one day say the same about my experience here.

    Sweet n spicy chicken rice bowl
    Vicki M.

    Cava is always such a convenient fast fresh and tasty option! I always get the rice bowl with either the spicy chicken or regular grilled chicken along with most of the veggie toppings, tzatziki, eggplant and hummus and the green sauce. I usually also have leftovers so the one bowl gets me a lunch next day which is great! Service is usually quick and friendly and sometimes we sit in the restaurant and eat and sometimes just get take out. Overall great experience!

    This was my first time at CAVA and I became a believer. I love the salads and all the choices. I had it again in North Carolina. I hope they open them in Northern California soon!

    Custom bowl ($12)
    Rachel S.

    I happened to be in the area with my sister who loves Cava, so at her suggestion, we decided to grab a quick dinner here on a weekday. The place was not too crowded with plenty of available seats inside and outside. I liked the plant-forward and relatively simple menu and appreciated that vegan options are clearly labeled. I customized a bowl ($12). In addition to many protein options, you can add 3 scoops worth of hummus (several varieties available) and customize the veggies. My favorite part of the bowl were the hummus and lentils. The portion size was larger than expected, and I ended up with some leftovers for a small meal the next day. The falafel was tasty but each one is only about 2 bites in size, so it might not be enough substance if it is your choice of protein. Most of the veggies were great and I would get almost all of them again--except the olives which were too salty for my taste. Overall, I enjoyed the healthy meal and would definitely consider visiting again!

    Raw Steak

    This was not a great experience. I went around 8pm and they were out of feta and the garlic sauce (which is reasonable it is late). I ordered a steak bowl and when I got home to eat it the steak was raw!! I am a disappointed the little bites of steak looked cooked well from the outside and I opened broke apart some pieces and they were still rare. I couldn't even eat the rest of the bowl I was so disgusted. It was also VERY overpriced I wasn't expecting this to cost about $25 for this bowl that was skimped on.

    Make your own bowl
    Marni M.

    My friend and I wanted to eat something that we wouldn't feel guilty about afterwards. Since she lives close by, we didn't have to worry about parking especially in this area. It's build your own style so I opted for a bowl of brown rice, mixed greens, harissa paste, traditional hummus and tzatziki sauce. Toppings included the black lentils, pickled onions, goat cheese, and garlic sauce. The person behind the desk patiently filled my bowl to my preference. It was delicious and hit the mail on the head. I loved the burst of fresh and zesty flavors. It was satiating and healthy, what more could you ask for. Overall, I had a great experience. It was very low key requiring no special attire as it was easy to eat in or out. Cannot for wait another visit here!

    I don't have anything good to say about this place....things are usually out of stock and the Lamb Meatball Wrap I ordered was cold like EXTREMELY COLD and runny. I will never order from this place again. You guys are great at making bowls. But wraps...No this should have been made/presented better

My first impression? Bright, modern, and incredibly welcoming. The space has an inviting energy, but what really stood out was the hostess. Since it was my first visit, she took the time to patiently explain the menu and made me feel completely at ease. Her recommendation of the Tan Tan turned out to be absolutely spot on. Loaded with spicy minced pork, minced garlic, onions, chives, sesame sauce, dried chili pepper, and a perfectly poached egg, this bowl was a beautiful marriage of flavor and texture. The savory minced pork stole the show, while the chewy hand-pulled noodles held onto every bit of that rich, nutty, spicy sauce. Just when I thought the experience was over, I learned the best part was still to come. After finishing the noodles, you're encouraged to ask for a bowl of rice and mix it into the remaining sauce. It transforms the leftovers into an entirely new dish, making sure not a single drop of flavor goes to waste. The entire meal felt like an adventure--one I genuinely didn't want to end. I've always considered myself a ramen guy, but this experience reminded me that it's worth stepping outside your comfort zone every now and then. Japanese cuisine really is the gift that keeps on giving, and I'm here for it!

The menu covers enough ground that finding something worth coming back to is not difficult. The Kale Caesar is the standout order for me and delivers every time, well balanced and filling without feeling heavy afterward. The portions are genuinely generous across the board, and the option to build my own bowl gives me enough flexibility to work with whatever I am in the mood for. The ingredients feel fresh in a way that separates this place from most fast casual options at a similar price point, and the vegan and vegetarian options are substantial enough that they do not feel like afterthoughts tacked onto the menu. The staff at this location are consistently warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience noticeably more pleasant than your average quick service lunch spot. The line moves at a good pace even when it gets busy, which it does during the lunch rush, so arriving slightly outside of peak hours saves me some wait time if I am in a hurry. Seating inside runs on the tighter side and fills up quickly during midday, so coming prepared to eat outside or take it back to the office is worth considering on a busy weekday. Overall it is a dependable, quality option for a fast and genuinely satisfying lunch in the area.
