    The various dips
    Annalisa P.

    This was surprisingly my first visit to Cava. One of our administrative assistants said she wanted to go there, and my fellow co managers couldn't decide, so we ended up here. It reminds me a bit like Zoa Moroccan Kitchen. The parking lot is small and can get busy at lunch. It's pretty tight to back out of. It also shares space with Zalat Pizza, a Pilates studio and Snap Kitchen. For reference, we got here around noon and found one spot. There's also some street parking if you can find it. The line was to the door but moved quickly. Like Zoa and Chipotle's concept, you go down the line picking a base, dips/hummus, main meats (and now glazed salmon) or falafel, toppings and dressings. You can also order their specialty bowls or wraps. I built my own bowl with saffron basmati rice, red pepper hummus, roasted eggplant, harissa honey chicken (spicy but not that spicy), charred corn, cherry tomatoes with red onions, crispy pita strips and a drizzle of garlic dressing. We took ours to-go since we had to get back before our meeting. The lid for the bowl was lousy and doesn't lock in place. There are bags to put your takeout in near the pre-order pick up area, which is across from the drinks near the restroom entrance. I like the variety of in house made tea and lemonades. If you choose to dine in, there's plenty of seating at the front, back and patio area. People were coming and going picking up orders more so than dining. Although I thought the food was pricey for a build your own bowl with a large drink ($17.70), I really enjoyed my bowl. I loved everything about it and thought the ingredients were fresh. I especially loved the harissa honey chicken flavor and just enough spice, charred corn, roasted eggplant and crispy pita strips. The saffron in the basmati rice gave it extra flavor. It's a huge portion, so I ate half for lunch and the rest for dinner. I would definitely come back to any Cava location and glad that there's one near my office and home.

    The rudest customer service we have ever experienced. Overcharged us and then made it to be our fault when asked for a refund...

I've had other items the burger the salad the salmon they've always been fees and flavorful, I cannot recommend one thing because everything tastes great!

I was surprised on how good it was sorry for doubting it's now my too favorite pozole in Houston ****** (approved by a Mexican ajuaaa )

I asked our server a couple questions about some of the dishes and was met with Irritation and rudeness and comments like, "of course there is cream in the mashed potatoes, it's mashed potatoes!" I was also told that the green beans were "just fried in a little bit of olive oil", yet they came out on my plate in a brown sauce. Hmm. Our server seemed to be very nice to a couple tables around us but not so much with us. She also appeared to be the only staff person in the restaurant out on the floor. I overheard other people calling her Shandy and it turned out she was the owner! I was appalled! As a female, I'm passionate about supporting other females and women-owned businesses, especially minority women. But I do expect a certain level of professionalism and to be treated with respect. I didn't find that at Shandy's :( My mom provided feedback to the owner after our meal and the owner indicated to my mom that my mom was the only person to ever give her this type of feedback. After reading other reviews, it appears that I am not the only one who has been made to feel this way.

Beautiful presentation and the flavors were yummy of the Texas toast French toast, the oat whipped cream & maple syrup were great. The Jupiter breakfast was $21 & the GF French toast was about $12 with $4 fruit cup. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my GF French toast. The mock-tail mule was nothing special for $9 of juice :/. In total we spent $58 which is a lot in our opinion. By all means it's not a bad spot and I'm sure other things you are good, but this was just our experience with what we got. There is a statue of a deity in the front of the restaurant & I welcome the Holy Spirit to come upon them all :). May Jesus be with them with eyes to see and ears to hear. There may be other gods but there is only one God, King Jesus Christ Isaiah 43:10-28 God bless

I've tried their meals (although from their other locations) and enjoyed them, so maybe it was just what we ordered or this specific location? Service was quick, though. I ordered the Chimichurri Steak sandwich, which was okay but nothing super memorable in my opinion. My parents ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Summer Peaches salad, which was also just okay. My sister, however, ordered the Lemon Chicken and Farro soup, which was actually pretty yummy and is something I would definitely order for myself. In terms of parking, there's plenty of spots available throughout the MKT area, but you may need to park farther away to snag a spot. Overall, if you're in the mood for a healthier sandwich or salad option and are in the MKT area, this place is worth trying. Maybe I'll come back and try something new.

It was nice and quiet so we felt bad bringing our 22 month old son since a lot of people seemed to be working. The staff was nice, but not overly helpful. The food and the prices were less than desirable. We ordered drip coffee, a hot mocha latte, two breakfast sandwiches (one with ham and the other with bacon), a blueberry scone, and a Greek style-phyllo party. The drop coffee was tiny for $3.49 (with $1.08 refill, seriously), recommend getting it in a to-go cup. Mocha was really good and a good size. The sandwiches were decent, but have had a lot better. Scone was decent, but nothing of note. Finally the phyllo dough pastry should have been their star, but it was soggy and barely warm. Asked them to reheat it, still not crispy as phyllo should be. Will I return? Likely no, unless I just want a mocha. With all the other coffee spots in the Heights, this isn't the start. Recommend going to Jane and the Lion or Angela's Oven if you're looking for a better experience with similar offerings.
