Anita C.

I stopped by CAVA for a quick lunch and ordered takeout. I went with the braised lamb over basmati rice and lentils with a few toppings, along with a side of pita chips. The bowl looked great on the line, but once I started eating, the rice was hit or miss. Some of it was hard and clumped together, and I ended up removing those parts. The lamb looked really good but tasted like it could have used more seasoning. The portion size was also a little disappointing. The bowl itself is large, but the amount of meat and rice felt small compared to the size of the container. I ordered plain pita chips, but instead received the new sour cream and onion version. That turned out to be a pleasant surprise. They were fresh, had great seasoning, and ended up being my favorite part of the meal. I would honestly go back just to get those again. My son ordered the chicken bowl. He said it was just okay and agreed that the portion size felt small for the size of the bowl. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, but it wasn't a standout either. If I return, I'd probably try a different protein option. Food: 3 out of 5 Service: 3 out of 5 Value: 2 out of 5 Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Tried the BYO bowl. I loved that there were so many options but the temporarily out of the white sweet potato which I really wanted to try. I got the grilled chicken and it was a bit too fatty for me. I think I'll do strictly vegetarian next time. Everything else was delicious though! The saffron rice was way better than I expected and I loved their sauces. Tzatziki was so good! The drinks are a must try.. I loved the blueberry lavender! Ample seating inside as well as outdoor seating. The service line went very fast and staff was friendly!

I am very much obsessed with Cava. I love to build my own bowl. I start with half brown rice and half super greens. For the dips I get Tzatziki, Harissa and Roasted eggplant... I love their Harissa Honey Chicken for my protein. As far as toppings... my most recent visit I got feta, fire roasted corn, fiery broccoli and extra pickled onions- the best part! You have to top it off with the balsamic date vinaigrette. You're welcome :). It's soo flavorful and super healthy. It's usually so much food... I have the other half the next day!

I recently discovered Cava this year and I've been hooked. I always get the Build Your Own Bowl, this time I tried the lamb meatballs and the honey chicken. I absolutely love Cava and how I can add different options like hummus and really load up on the vegetables as well. The Balsamic Date Vinaigrette is so good I wish they sold it in store! I also got the pineapple apple mint juice, it was a little on the watered down side so I opted for tea when I went back for a refill. Service is always super quick and everyone is very nice!

Cava in Lake Mary has quickly become one of my go to spots when I want something fresh and flavorful without the stress of waiting around. I usually order ahead for pick up, and I have to give them credit--my food is always ready right on time, and more often than not, it is actually waiting for me a little early. That kind of reliability makes a huge difference when you are trying to grab something quick during a busy day. Another thing I appreciate is how fast the line moves. At first glance, it can look intimidating because it stretches across the restaurant with hungry guests waiting their turn. But somehow the staff keeps it moving like a well practiced orchestra. Before you know it, you are already at the counter, building your bowl and wondering why you ever doubted them in the first place. Now for the one area that could use some love--the dining space. On a couple of occasions, the tables have been a bit too sticky to sit down and really enjoy the meal inside. It is not every time, but enough to notice. A quick refresh between guests would take the experience from good to great. Even with that small flaw, I would still give Cava in Lake Mary a solid four stars. The food is consistent, the service is quick, and the convenience of perfectly timed to go orders keeps me coming back. With just a little extra attention to the dining area, it could easily be a five star stop.

This is my Cava I go to or order from when I'm having it during the work day. It's a quick commute for me, right up the I-4. Ambiance is standard, but I do like that unlike other quick service restaurants that have been popping up lately, there is actual room to move around in the dining room, and actual seats to sit down and have lunch. No pressure to get in and get out. I like that. Service is always wonderful. It's perfectly optimized for me. I tell them which bowl I want, I tell them if I want any alterations made to the bowl, and I paying and leaving. Very efficient. Now the food, the food is redonkulous. It's Mediterranean based, so it's already delicious, with the feta, the tzatziki, the hummuses, the harissa, it's just so good. On top of the food being good, why I really frequent this place, they can make you a good bowl at a responsible calorie count! I count my calories, and if I'm going out to lunch, it's usually impossible to find a meal anywhere that keeps things between 500-700 calories, and if you do, you're eating a boring salad or a boring piece of grilled chicken on a cardboard bun. Here, I get the Tahini Caesar (550 calories- Grilled chicken, hummus, pita crisps, pickled onions, feta, romaine, arugula, Tahini Caesar dressing), I eat the delicious bowl, I have stayed on my health and wellness journey without straying from the path, and I am happy. Thank you, Cava. Your existence has made my life easier than you know.

I get food from here about once a week, and it never disappoints! Everything always tastes so fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. It's the kind of place you can rely on for consistently good meals that leave you feeling satisfied without being too heavy. Definitely one of my regular go-to spots!

Krystal J.

Looove this place !! The food always gives me a "feel good" vibe and I don't feel sluggish after eating it which is always a plus!! Service is fast and we've always received fresh food I love the honey harissa chicken but it is alittle spicy if you enjoy that but the grilled chicken is just as delicious without the spicy. My go to bowl is: white rice , spinach , grilled chicken , roasted corn, tomato & cucumber , pita crisps , feta , pickled onions and balsamic date sauce on the side

A great quick, delicious, and healthy option in Daytona! Thank you Christina for your fast service and friendly attitude!

I've already contacted corporate and received a quick and caring response regarding the counter staff. However, I realized afterwards I reacted too soon. My initial issue is consistent with the other one-star ratings about this location. Simply put - it's time to find new employees. Two of the three front counter staff clearly do not want to be there! On top of that, I ordered four bowls including a non spicy bowl but discovered I was given the spicy one when I got home. I had to just throw it away because they were closed by the time we sat down to eat. Besides, the location is not a close drive. The only salvation is the other three bowls received compliments. This was my first time buying from Cava. For this location, maybe you should consider hiring better? read more

I love Cava! We came in for a quick dinner before a conference and it was a great experience. I love the concept of fresh and healthy quick service. The staff were nice and efficient. The store was bright and clean. For my entree, I got the falafel and I already want another one. It was bright, zesty, and fresh. The sauces are the best! It was a little too messy to eat with my hands, so I used a fork and knife. To drink I got a lavender blueberry refresher and it was fruity and floral without being overly sweet. The price was decent and I'd love to come back. read more

You know the food is good when you write your review before you finish eating! This was my first time here and WOW the food was incredibly fresh and oh so delicious. The staff here are so kind. They offered to let me try things that I wasn't quite sure of. Spoiler alert- it was all good! I ordered a kids meal because I wasn't super hungry. However, rhetorical portion size did not disappoint! The entire restaurant was clean and they seem committed to keeping it that way. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and I'll be back.

Cava continues to be a go to for me. My bowl of choice is a greens and grains bowl with grilled chicken and I love the customizability a la your favorite Tex mex places of choice. Everyone that works there has always been so friendly to me even when I don't know what I want in my bowl haha. Their app is also really nifty with a rewards program, so you can gain reward dollars or order online for pickup. Always a plus from me! Anyways, visit cava for a healthy but delicious bowl Mediterranean style! read more

I gave a three because I ordered at work at 11:30 for a promise pickup time at 12pm. I waited thirty minutes after 12 and almost asked for a refund because I was going to be late for work. I would come back because the food was so good! Everything has a super fresh Mediterranean feel and for 8.22 for a kids meal it was a great deal! Just stinks that I had to wait so long for it. Next time I will just order from the counter. read more

This place is amazing! For those that are unfamiliar it is a chain restaurant that is growing fast. Everything here is amazing and it is by far the most reliable chain in terms of quality and consistency! My personal favorite is the Hot Harissa Avocado bowl. That does have some spice to it so would not recommend for those who are spice adverse. The tahini Caesar is also a great option. Everything they have is excellent. I have been to 8 different Cava's across the country so far and have not given less than 5 stars to a single one! read more

We had such a bad experience with Zoe's Kitchen, I didn't think we'd ever return once they rebranded to Cava. But against my better judgement, we stopped by this evening to give it a try. It is still Mediterranean food, but they have shifted to the burrito bowl model championed by Chipotle and so many others. It was a good move as the current model works much better, given the ingredients. That said, their spring mix contains Kale, which is a garnish, not lettuce. I know a lot of people think of Kale as food, but those that do have not handled it raw. For the uninitiated, Kale is mostly a haven for tiny insects. It tastes like cardboard and while it may have nutritional benefits, there are better options that won't have the aforementioned proteins nested inside. Other than that, the food was pretty ok - though if you're in the mood for Greek, there are better options close by that don't smell like a nail salon. Cava is certainly better than Zoe's, but frankly that's a pretty low bar. read more

I have never had this before and let me tell you I can't go back to Chipotle now. The food is so fresh and amazing and seasoned well but also health friendly. There is an older woman that works there and I absolutely love it when she makes my bowl she is such a joy and is patient and nice. If I can I will try and catch her name next time but she is AWESOME! The restaurant is clean and everything is organized well. I also love that you can see into the kitchen a bit to know how they are cooking the food. The rewards are definitely worth signing up for and I am glad they opened this location up it's definitely worth the drive over to Lake Mary and I love seeing the regulars show up as well and the interactions with the employees are so nice and lighthearted. The food is cost effective depending on how you create your bowl and I always end up leaving with extras. You can choose two bases and two meats with 3 sauces and unlimited toppings at no extra charge. Definitely my new and most favorite go to! read more

I really enjoy this food! It taste a whole lot better than the chipotle down the street from it. The food here is tasteful and healthier. I always get the falafel bowl! The only reason I give this place 4 stars and not 5 is because of their portions. The second time I ordered from here I may have gotten only 1 scoop of rice. The bowl was not well proportioned. Aside from that, this place is solid. read more

My first trip to Cava was a success! The bowls were portioned generously, they had a vast variety of toppings/dressings to add, and almost everything was very tasty. My favorites were the harissa vinaigrette and the spicy broccoli. The only thing I was not a fan of was the falafel, it did not taste like your traditional falafel and it contained whole pieces of chickpea inside, which made the texture very strange. The chicken however was very good, I will be ordering a full portion of that next time for sure. Inside the store was very clean and organized, service was quick as there was no one else in line at our time of arrival. All in all I will be back. read more

10/10 100 A+ this place has become MY FAVORITE FOOD ON THE PLANET. Do you love rich flavors? Do you love healthy food? Do you love spices? Do you love garlic sauce that tastes FRESHER than fresh garlic? Do you LOVE obscene amounts of feta? If you've answered yes to 1 or more of these questions, you're gonna freaking love Cava. Call me selfish, but there are very very few things in life that I love enough to passionately advocate for unprompted and for no personal gain. But as I sat eating probably the 20th bowl I've purchased since discovering Cava 6ish months ago, I was overtaken by the fact that I have been BLOWN AWAY every time. Like I've had plenty of meals in the past year that cost $25+, but I'm not exaggerating when I'd say I'd trade all of them for my $10 Cava bowl every single time. This food is SO FRESH, SO FLAVORFUL, and SO HEALTHY. I've been doing Keto for a month and barely had to change my bowl to fit my lifestyle. Get the app, you get decent rewards. Honestly with how amazing the food is I don't give an F if the interior is the live action reenactment of a Saw movie, I'm still mobile ordering and risking the creep face putting a bear trap on my jaw in order to get my lunch. Pro tip: you can opt for 2 servings of feta. And you can choose 3 different dips - I usually do 2 Harrisa and 1 crazy feta or 2 CF and 1 harrisa. read more

I've been meaning to try this place after seeing it incessantly on social media and I'm glad I tried it. The prices are kind of high in my opinion but frankly fast food place prices are out of control these days so at least here you get super fresh food you feel good about eating. I built my own bowl both times. Their garlic sauce (dressing?) is DELICIOUS. The Greek vinaigrette was tasty too. The tzatziki was ok. I wasn't too keen on the eggplant dip, and the crazy feta was also just ok. I still want to try the harissa and the hummus on another visit. The salt brined pickles are interesting and have a nice sour taste. I enjoyed the corn and still want to try the fiery broccoli. I got the falafel as my protein both times and it was ok. I want to try the braised lamb but the upcharge is a bit daunting. Get the pita chips! They are so good! I placed my orders online for pickup and that process is extremely convenient and no contact which is how I prefer. They have plenty of tables to sit at if you want to dine there and it's kind of an industrial vibe similar to chipotle. read more

So glad we did. The concept is very Chipotle-style, but for Greek food. You walk down the line and build your meal exactly how you want it: * Choose a base (pita, greens, fries, or rice) * Pick your protein (I went with the traditional gyro; my husband chose the honey balsamic chicken -- and WOW. It was so good I'm ordering that next time.) * Add toppings * Scoop on hummus and feta dips * Finish with sauces Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. My gyro had that classic savory richness you expect, but the honey balsamic chicken completely stole the show -- tender with a sweet-tangy depth that balanced beautifully with the toppings. The space is casual with simple metal seating inside and outside. No table service -- you order at the line and seat yourself -- which makes it easy for a relaxed dinner. The staff was especially helpful when we mentioned it was our first time, patiently walking us through options without rushing us. Our total was $40.49 for two people, which felt very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality. We left full and genuinely impressed. They do offer dessert options, but we were too stuffed to try them this round. Fresh, flavorful, customizable, and officially added to our rotation. We'll definitely be back!

The place wasn't busy. The cases are nearly empty, the matzo balls were cold, the sandwich was cold, the pastrami had that "reheated" look to it. Potato pancakes 1 minute from being charcoal.

The food was made fresh, with local and delicious ingredients. All of the nutritional value was listed, and you knew exactly what you were getting. Hubby ordered the bison burger with turkey bacon, and I opted for the bbq chicken flatbread. We loved that neither of the meals required any condiments or additional seasonings. Hubby stated that it didn't even need mayo which was wild. He got steamed broccoli as his side (he did say he wished the portion was larger), and I got fresh veggies with some sort of tzatziki sauce. Both were delicious. The food was very hot temp wise, and our drink of watermelon water was refreshing. They also offer personalized meal prep, as well as grab and go meals for daily consumption, or if you just need a quick dinner. Will be using this location for meal prep next week. Definitely check them out!

I'm a chicken tendie boy at heart so decided to give their Nugget Dinner a go. The food was healthy and tasty, especially their sweet potato fries! Crispy on the outside but nice and fluffy on the inside! But here's the problem...the potion size is just way too small. There's not nearly enough protein in the bowl to act as a post-gym workout meal and I was left still pretty hungry. It's really sad because the food was actually really good! The place also offers meal plans for people who are looking for that kinda thing. I thought the pricing and stuff were kinda confusing but the people there are pretty nice and I'm sure they would take the time to explain things better if meal planning is something that interests you. Ambiance and vibes were cool though, we liked the little outside area they had! We played a little bit of cornhole after we ate and had a lot of fun! But please, please, please Clean Eatz...add more chicken to the Nugget Dinner. The food is so good and I just want more of it! Until the portions get a little bigger or the prices drop a bit I'm not sure if I will be visiting anytime soon.

Cava is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! Every time I go, I'm impressed by how fast and efficient the service is. Even when there's a long line, the staff moves quickly, and you never have to wait too long for your food. It's the perfect spot when you want something fresh and delicious but don't have time to sit around and wait. The portions are huge, which makes it such a great value for the price. You get a generous amount of everything, whether you're getting a bowl or a pita. Plus, the ingredients are always incredibly fresh--from the perfectly seasoned proteins to the crisp vegetables and flavorful dips. Every bite is packed with bold Mediterranean flavors, and you can tell they take quality seriously. One of my favorite things about Cava is their sparkling waters with different flavors. It's such a fun touch and makes the meal feel even more refreshing. I love having options beyond just regular soda, and the flavors pair so well with the food. Overall, Cava is just a place I never get tired of. The food is consistently amazing, the portions are more than satisfying, and the fast service makes it super convenient. If you love Mediterranean food, this spot is a must-try! read more

My experience at CAVA Lake Mary was nothing short of appalling. After waiting over 45 minutes for an online order, I was served raw, uncooked lamb meatballs, a serious health risk that shows their utter lack of food safety standards. The staff was chaotic and unprofessional; a larger woman in the back was visibly ignoring her duties, often distracted on her phone, even as customers piled up in frustration. This location's disregard for both customer service and basic food safety is dangerous. I would urge anyone considering a meal here to think twice -- this place is unfit to remain open under such reckless management. read more

Cava is my absolute favorite "fast food" spot! I love the make-your-own bowl, and everything is consistently delicious. I used to always get the chicken, but now that they've added steak to the menu, I can't resist it--it's fantastic! And the pita chips? They're to die for. The freshness and flavor of each ingredient make every visit a treat. Highly recommend this place for a quick and tasty meal! Five stars! read more

Confession time: I crave their homemade chicken-lemon rice soup bowl. (AVGOLEMONO) and strangely their potato salad knocks my socks off. I sometimes get an extra bowl of soup which comes in a tight freezer friendly container to freeze for a future comfort meal. They add the potato salad to meals and also the village salad (Horiatiki) which is the salad with NO lettuce - chunks of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, green peppers, pepperoncini peppers, potato salad and feta cheese. I get them to hold the pepperoncini. This time the salad I got had a huge ratio of green pepper. It was still ok but I would prefer more potato salad or cucumbers instead. With all the soup and salad I like to get a little protein so I order the kids gyro platter or chicken skewer meal. Sure I could order a side of protein but the kids meal includes rice, a little salad and a drink. This location is great because they had fruit juices besides the normal fountain drinks. Most of the meals and salad come with pita bread. I wish there was an option to add a small scoop of hummus instead of the whole appetizer. I ordered and got my food to go in about 5 minutes. My food was packed up so it did not spill in the way home.
