I love CAVA! When I realized they were coming to my neighborhood I just about jumped for joy. Cava used to be one of my favorite places to grab lunch when I was working in DC. Having a new flavor in town is very exciting! I love their bowls and flexibility to adjust as you wish! You get a good bang for your buck and the bowls are fully loaded! The ingredients are fresh and flavors are explosive. This location opened up right where Bolay used to be. There is indoor and outdoor seating, bathrooms and self serve water! The staff is super friendly as well! The downside is parking but if you're nearby for work/pr want a place to grab lunch this is definitely a great fast casual choice. read more

CAVA - Veggie build your own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Asia was so sweet! Handled the lunch rush great and very efficiently! Definitely will be back!

CAVA is finally open!! Pro tip: Go Early or be ready to face long lines. While it saddens me that Bolay is now gone, but happy to report CAVA has taken its place and what a great substitution! This is a Chipotle style type of place but with a nice Mediterranean twist! You can order their signature bowls or get a custom bowl. Either way you won't be disappointed!! Great service, great food and most of the meals are under $15! That's a win in Brickell! read more

CAVA - Garlicky Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

This is a decent spot to get lunch. However, I do not recommend ordering around lunch time. It took FOREVER to get my order which is frustrating. The flavors themselves were delicious. I love that there are alot of options for toppings and sauces. read more

This was SO good. I only went here once but I was told it was like a different version of Chiplote and they were right because it was amazing. The bowl tasted amazing and flavorful and it was the perfect amount to have leftovers. Almost even better, the side of pita chips was SO good. I would choose those pita chips over Chiplote chips and guac any day. read more

CAVA - Bowl with pita chips - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Very clean restaurant with lots of fresh options to choose from. Even during the lunch rush, the staff was fast and kept the line moving

Ok, so I didn't want to leave a bad review, because I genuinely love the food (the flavors are so good, and so many options for customization) but they are simply not ready for primetime. I ordered ahead for pickup with a pickup time at 1pm--and at 1:30 they were still working on finishing orders from 12:45, with no end in sight. The pickup area is chaotic and very hard to hear names being called out (if they are at all), and the physical space around the pickup area is tiny, with perhaps 30 or more people crammed in there. I don't know if the ordering system fails to limit how many people can pickup at a certain time, but it is simply not tenable to have orders run nearly an hour late. EDIT: Final time my order was ready was 50 minutes late. read more

Al and Everett (?) were the best, I was having a really hard day and my card wasn't working and they were really patient with me while I was trying to get it to load. I hope I'm spelling the other guy's name right, sorry if I butchered it. Also, the ingredients here are fresher than the other Cava's I've been to. At other Cava's the falafel is usually stale, here it was fresh. And I watched them restock the greens instead of letting them die like other places. Y'all made my day. Thank you. read more

This location gets great for the wrong reasons. The food is fabulous, the people are doing their best and are friendly the downside is the lines. I'm going to defend cava because they do a good job if you want faster service then just order ahead and accumulate points. Speed wise it's comparable to chipotle. The place is new and which is why there just is always a line during rush hours. My go to order is a chicken Harrissa bowl with crazy feta, red pepper hummus, tzatziki, all the toppings, and garlic sauce. I also like the pineapple mint drink. read more

So so SO happy this Cava opened nearby! I ordered on the app for delivery and it did not disappoint. The portions, the price, the freshness and flavors! So good. I cannot recommend it enough! read more

CAVA - Byo grain bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

I only leave reviews when I truly feel service or food was exceptional, and that's exactly what I experienced at this new location (we finally have CAVA in Miami!). Each and every one of the young ladies who prepared all of our food (there was a line of about 10 folks) were very patient, helpful, polite, and just genuinely kind. Mind you, most of the folks came in right before/at their closing time (10:30 pm on a Friday), yet they were totally polite and accommodating. This extended well after they prepared and handed each of us our food - meaning, some of us wanted to eat outside, so they set up a couple more tables and chairs (that were already packed up due to their closure for the night) to allow us to enjoy our food per our wishes. The GM of this location just so happened to be one of the ladies who assisted me outside with my food, after noticing I had my hands full. Overall - great and genuine customer service. I hope that someone of significance to Cava happens to see this, to know that the evening-shift crew from 10/17/25 did an outstanding job, all-around. Will be returning to this location for that alone, in addition to the great food CAVA *always has! read more

This was the second day open and it was crowded ! Like true cava fashion ! I love love love the harissa and avocado bowl ! But this cost I tried the shawarma bowl and it was delicious ! Their selection of juices is great as well ! Welcome to Brickell CAVA ! read more

Super busy during lunch, although the take out server was moving pretty fast getting the orders out. I ordered online thinking that would be faster. It was not. The food is as expected. read more

I love that the food is always fresh & the workers are lovely and aware of what they're doing

Attitude is average (but maybe that's become the unfortunate norm for an ever growing city as Miami) food was good but happy there are healthier bowl options w/ middle eastern flavors. Tried garlicky chicken shawarma bowl and preferred the harissa chicken. read more

Please do a favor to yourself as a famous and respected franchise and fire this woman who is completely unprofessional and disrespectful. Yelled at me in front of others because I showed the name of my order and told me "You can leave" for no reason just because order was not ready. Not to mention that there was also other people waiting to pick up their order as well and order was already paid. It just ruined my whole experience, and I was just picking up my food. Completely disgusting. read more

The place is dirty. The staff is not friendly. They look like they hate their job and do not wish to be bothered. Especially this one guy with long dreads. The sweet potatoes were burnt. Could barely find the chicken I had requested for my bowl. Horrible experience overall!!! read more

I was really sad to lose Bolay and do really miss it. It is nice at least a similar style of fast-casual food like Cava opened up in its place, rather than another upscale and expensive restaurant. Like many say, there's a wait, especially during peak lunch time. The staff is super helpful and patient to help explain various options. I made my own bowl with the honey chicken and steak and found it to be fresh and well-portioned for the price. The cinnamon pita chips were also great as a dessert! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

My favorite go to lunch spot! Healthy, delicious and the prices are very good! Love to come back

Unfortunately, this location has lots of staff, but little supervision. Lobby tables dirty throughout dinner hours, trash overflowing and bathrooms without any upkeep or paper products. Not a sanitary space for food to be prepared if staff can't wash up. Check Google reviews as well for service issues. read more

10/10 The food was good, the service and the area was great. It's right there by the bay.

The servers were very well and organized. The food is different from other places I tried.

Exceptionally executed delivery order, sauces on the side to not get things too soggy, included all ingredients, does not happen at all locations. Only wish they'd include all / more toppings on delivery apps that they have in store. read more

I was excited when the Brickell Cava opened since I enjoyed the Wall Street location in New York and expected a similar experience. Unfortunately, after three visits, including one six months after opening, the food has consistently been disappointing. The chicken was overcooked and charred, the seasoning was oddly spicy without much flavor, the avocado was bland, and the hummus watery. Quality control is lacking! Bolay, which used to be in this spot, was significantly better. Very disappointing. read more

Take forever every time, if u order online it takes 30 minutes more than time it tells you every single time

Canceled order after 20 minutes of being prepared on uber eats. Please make that make sense.

I had tried this cava my first time yesterday 1/27/26 and it was amazinggg. The customer service , great prices and I feel like I got alot of bang for my buck. I ordered saffron rice , romaine lettuce crazy feta , tzatziki, , hummus , harissa chicken and then a couple add ons which were advertised as included. I also got the original pita chips and the total was 14.68. It was so good and healthy. I had went today 1/28/26 and ordered THE SAME EXACT BOWL + the pita chips and my total had changed from $14 to $25 dollars. An $11 dollar difference which was absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention there was a new guy training and he gave me much less then they had yesterday to the point where I could still see the bottom of the bowl clearly. I had to ask him if he could put more in my bowl and even then he still put about 1/3 of the spoon of rice and a little bit of lettuce in my bowl. When I was paying and noticed the huge price increase I had confronted the manager and he told me the price I got yesterday was innacurate and I even had showed him the bank statement proving that this is what I got yesterday. As I was talking to manager a RANDOM man came up to me and said "the same thing just happened to me , I thought I was going crazy" so no it was not just me. I did like it but the inaccurate prices and the decrease in food is making me never want to come back to this cava. I would have liked more transparency and better communication from everyone on the team as I work in food service myself. Extremely unacceptable. read more

The food is good but the service at this location absolutely sucks. Staff needs better training for sure. For starters, when they are making a wrap, probably best not to put the pita directly on the counter. read more

I like the food, flavors, one of my favorite lunch places near my office. BUT... the service is so slow! Went here 3 times at different time of the day - during lunch hour, around 2pm and in the evening, and every time the line moved soooooo slow, even though were only a couple of people ahead of me I still spent almost half an hour getting food, which gets cold by the time you walk out of the door. I don't think I'll ever go again during lunch hours, because it can easily take you an hour to get your food. Ain't nobody got time for that. read more

Horrible service. Literally had half of the toppings available at 6:30pm. Workers couldn't have given less of a shit about my bowl. Disgrace of a Cava read more

Made the mistake of ordering on the app because the line was long. The app set a pick up time over one hour later but didn't give a notification of the long wait prior to entering and / or allow to cancel the order after entering. Really shady company. read more

Worst experience ever. Started in person in the line, but after 30 minutes, had to exit the line. Ordered online, cut to an hour and 45 minutes later, food never delivered. So I'm guessing the food is awesome, but I wouldn't know. read more
