So delicious but I'm not sure why everybody who works there is so nasty! Like I inconvenienced them by coming in where they work... sorry. It gets busy during lunch time during the week because of all the businesses around and one person is nastier than the next. It's unreal. They need some training in customer service but the food is phenomenal. Very pricey though. read more

good food, small falafel portions. Service was good, cute food place probably would eat there.

By far the best food ever, and best location!!! The staff is so great and helpful! Alda was such a pleasure to work with, she helped me build the best bowl for a first visit. We came when they were about to close and treated us as if we were the first customers there. So so sweet!! Aneudy in the kitchen brought our rice and veggies out fresh- so SO good!! Thanks guys!! read more

Savanna was helping me out a lot. It was my first time there and she really helped me pick a great combination of food items to eat. The menu is pretty overwhelming so I really appreciated her patience and attitude. Kenneth was really cool too at the end. It all culminated into a friendly environment that Im sure I will be returning back to, it helps that the food was also amazing! read more

I order from the cava in LA all of the time when I go out there for work and always love it so I was excited to see one open up by us. I ordered the pita with lamb and some sauces, and was disgusted because they completely over sauced it. Won't order from here again, their ratios are totally off and it was not great at all. read more

Cava is fantastic! The fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors make every bowl a delight. The staff is friendly and efficient, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I love the customizable options, and it's perfect for a quick, healthy meal. read more

So excited cava is on Long Island! My coworker and I got delivery today and it was delicious. Love all of the vegan options! I got a huge salad with roasted veggies, white sweet potatoes, red pepper hummus, eggplant dip, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions and lemon tahini! I highly recommend cava, it was a little expensive but so worth it! Make sure to get all the unlimited toppings!! read more

Filthy. I have absolutely no confidence in the handling of food here. My pita was so saturated in dressing that the paper it's wrapped in became mush. This is easily the worst Mediterranean food I have ever had. If you own a Greek restaurant nearby, take a nice sigh of relief knowing that your customers aren't going here. My feet literally stuck to the floor and the amount of trash on the floor behind the counter was appalling. If an open kitchen is that dirty, it makes you wonder how they are even handling the food. My wife's falafel bowl had some kind of meat in it. Tossed it in the trash where this food belongs. Someone get me Ipecac please read more

V clean and neat inside Customer service was poor, it wasn't busy but they seemed to be in a rush. It was my first time there and they didn't take any time to explain any of the ingredients read more

Excellent food and service! All very healthy choices that are tasty as well. I recommend both rices, as well as the lamb meatballs and great falafel! read more

This place will not be here for long. First time here. Got the basic falafel sandwich . There were PICKLES in it . WTF ? Also- the falafel balls were VERY small and had no real flavor (they tasted WORSE than the Trader Joes frozen falafel balls) . There was some other "razzle dazzle" kinda veggies and sauce in there . You'd only hit an actual falafel upon every 3rd or 4th bite ! It was like the trainer / manager said "don't give them too many falafel balls per sandwich". Last time I checked , Falafels are chick peas & a couple of basic kitchen spices - not made from Lobster tails . They also skimped on the tomatoes . This had a few cut in half cherry tomatoes . Easily; the WORST falafel I ever had in my life. Pickles ????????? read more

The wait was fast and great customer service. It's definitely my go-to when you need a great meal.

Food is good, if they don't run out. Not fast-casual, because there is nothing fast about Cava. You need more than an hour for lunch, waiting on line is a painful experience watching 2 people service a line of 20-25 people. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Use to be great but it's been getting worse and worse, though I kept giving them chances thinking they were having a bad night. Fast forward to tonight, had to wait 30 min for an order that was supposed to be ready at 6pm but hadn't even been started when I walked in. I ordered food for 4 very hungry adults, all of which were missing various items, some of which were extras that we paid extra for and no pita breads. Such a shame because it's a great menu and the food that actually ended up in my bowl was tasty. Sadly won't be back. read more

Love the food and the guy with the beard is very charming. Would recommend this place to others

I wanted so badly for this place to be great but it just isn't there yet. The two times I have been there, have been disappointing. Unfortunately with the times, they are short staffed, and low on supplies (even lids for the bowls), dressings, meat etc. The gyro we got was soggy & saturated- see photo below The avocado chicken bowl was super spicy - nowhere on the menu did it mention spicy, must have been the dressing or seasoning. It wasn't even mild, but very very spicy/ hard to eat for someone who has a hard time with spicy food The flow of ordering was super slow-on a thursday @3pm, each order was taking 4-5 minutes just to prepare, because one person was working. No manager there. Maybe since it's so new, it would be good to have a manager there or the owner there more frequently. read more

Healthy delicious Mediterranean food with unique toppings. This place is around the same price as other bowl/fast food places but in my opinion is much more fresh than competitors. Food is seasoned great, tastes really fresh, and there are a vast amount of options for people with all diets/preferences. Also, they have very unique soda options and lemonades that other competing restaurants do not have. Love cava and always feel good after eating here. read more

Cava has always been my go to for a quick and healthy, large portioned meal. I used to go all the time in DC and was disappointed when I came to Long Island and there weren't any Cavas. Low and behold, we finally got one and I was so happy. I always get the bowls and usually the portions are so large that I can make two lunches out of it. I also recommend the housemade drinks, my favorite is the unsweetened jasmine tea. read more

Cute place. The drink Fall Oat boy is incredible and it's worth going to Cava just to get it with vanilla, maple, hazelnut, and cinnamon.

Food is great service is trash. Imagine paying $30 for a bowl and they can't even bother to bag your food.

EVERY CHOICE IS A GOOD CHOICE! Seriously - you can taste the quality and freshness in every bite! With the endless options/combinations of bowls and pitas you can never get sick of this place. Plus the portions are huge - one bowl usually lasts me two meals! 5 star customer service! Employees are super helpful and knowledgeable about all their products. read more

Sav, Kenny, and Aaron were great with customer service and helping me and my friend make our bowls!!! Best Cava ever

Junior and Eric were amazing !! This is my favorite Cava to come to. The customer service is always great and the place is always clean.

Two stars because the food is very good. However, I was surprised by the slow service, bad attitudes of the staff and food being unavailable. Yes, some of the ingredients not available despite the "cookbook process". It gets worse. No forks in the entire restaurant. I raised my voice and asked for the manager but he was shy about coming to speak with me. How ridiculous...a restaurant with no forks. Hopefully, these slackers are keeping the trays clean. I definately see cobwebs and dirt on the walls above the counter. read more

I love the food here but the staff are not friendly they seem like they don't want to be there and don't even speak when ur order. The man just looked at me after scoping each item into the bowl. read more

I love CAVA and I'm so happy that there's one on Long Island but the service at this location is piss poor. Listen I understand every business right now is short staffed and that's not what I am commenting about. I have ordered through the app and come to pick up and the food wasn't at the designated pick up section but behind the register and no one could seem to locate it even though it was right there. Yesterday I stood online waiting to be helped while the young man finished with another customer. When it was my turn I started my order, he took my bowl and went to the register and just started talking to the girl that was working the register. Like in the middle of my order. He came back and totally skipped the dip section... The whole thing was strange. I get to the register, the girl tells me the price I give her a $20 bill. She looks at me and says, "did you want your change?" Excuse me? Did I want my what?? Yes I want my change! Get it together!! read more

Absolutely loved it! They have the freshest food! Love the space, very modern, great space, big enough to feel comfortable and fit more 50 ppl for sure, I love the little details like the cardboard looking bags t You get to take home as if you just went shopping to a nice clothing boutique. Love that detail. Love that you have a parking lot with easy access and made very accessible for people with disabilities. Price is fair. And again, the food is very tasteful and fresh. It was my first time. I will be back for sure! read more

I think it's true that people come to yelp only when things are very bad or very good. Unfortunately this review is the very bad one. The place is kept like a pig sty. The garbage cans outside were overflowing and this is the third or fourth time that I've seen this. Literally no room to put your garbage into the receptacle. I'm usually there once a week. But I'm really rethinking whether to eat in a place That seems so unsanitary. The food is really quite good. It's too bad customers have to put up with the rest of it. If I was just reviewing the food I would give it four stars Inside where the utensils are is disgusting. Someone spilled his soda and it literally sat there for 20 minutes. When I was done eating I went back to get Another napkin and spill hadn't been wiped up. I was curious because I feel that this place is filthy on a regular basis and I see some similar comments in a few of the other reviews. Think they better clean up their act. No pun intended. read more

My best friend was practically begging to go here claiming I wouldn't be disappointed and he was right! Upon entry, the place is clean and the esthetic is cute. On was my first visit the staff was super helpful and friendly, giving advice and being patient with me, since I haven't seen the same staff but the moral seems to be a bit down. I always ordering a bowl with grains and greens (lettuce and rice) with the honey chicken for a little spice with the original hummus, tomato and cucumber, with the garlic sauce on the side. Its really good. It all taste fresh and theres never any guilt when I finish the entire thing. It's giving what I think chipotle wishes they could give in terms of "healthier" choice. Would def recommend! I go here maybe too much! read more

If I could give it ZERO stars I would!!! Do NOT eat here if you are a vegetarian!!! I got a veggie bowl and one bite in I got meat..the place was filthy!!! So disorganized and the employees are so rude! The actually made me read off the board the ingredients to teach THEM how to make it. My sister practically needed a hose to go to bed with it was so salty...Cava..get it together, use less salt, clean your damn store, restock the bins, make employees wear hats or hairnets or else close. I wouldn't eat here if it was free!!! read more

So delicious and fresh! Great if you are looking for a healthy option or just a salad
