I usually love Cava but the food at this location left me disappointed. The grilled chicken was extremely spicy, which was not indicated. I don't mind a little spicy but this was really spicy (more than your usual Mexican) so I couldn't even eat the chicken. Unfortunately for me, they were very generous with the chicken so I couldn't eat half of my salad (picture). It's completely fine to have spicy food but I think that this is something customers should be informed about. Also, there was an olive spit in my salad that nearly broke one of my tooth (picture). Staff was very nice and friendly though. UPDATE: Cava's management reached out to me to address the issues mentioned in my review and offered solutions to make up for the problems I encountered. Excellent customer service. read more

I thought I'd love this place. I love Mediterranean food! Huge bowls. Lots of toppings. But instead it left me craving Chipotle. Something about the ingredients just didn't come together into a cohesive whole. The braised lamb was tasty, and I like the supergreen option with shaved Brussels sprouts. read more

This spot was the cutest and tasted so good on a nice sunny day! The portions they give you are really big and filling plus the price is reasonable and low compared to the other restaurants nearby! The chicken was well cooked and seasoned nicely as well as their grains and falafel. Great place to stop by when you want something to fill you up and energize you but you don't wanna feel tired after eating. I love this place it's very sustainable and I can see myself eating here a couple times a week because of how well balanced and hearty it is. Can't wait to come back because I am missing the taste of their chicken and hummus. Definitely one of my favorite quick food place to stop by. Love it! read more

Definitely one of the best places around if you want a healthy option, the staff is amazing, I'll be there again and again!

Their drinks literally tastes like they mixed it with soap I called to complain and their phone number wasn't even available. Do not buy from here. The food is nothing like their other locations. Just stay away from this location if you appreciate good quality food and flavor. read more

COME TO THIS LOCATION! If you are dying to try Cava now is the TIME!!! Ron and Rai throw it down!! Thank you to all of the staff! Amazing service and quality! Fresh pita! And fresh rice! TY read more

CAVA - $$later - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

CAVA is a welcome addition to the premium salad selection in the city. I was a loyal fan of sweetgreen until recently, when circumstances put a CAVA close to where I was going frequently (the Bryant Park location). The Spring Street location however is closer to home, although not really within walking distance. The CAVA experience is fairly simple. You pick from a green, grain or combo bowl (not counting the pita/soup options). You get to pick the dips and spreads (three), a protein (falafel for me) and toppings (unlimited). It is similar to sweetgreen but, in general, more flavorful and somewhat less healthy. They also sell their line of products such as feta and hummus that I haven't bought separately. Their app is very easy to use. The alternative--standing in line for 15 minutes or more during lunch hour in Midtown--is daunting. CAVA needs more locations. Also, they are in the process of changing their rewards program and in-store payment options. As with many medium-size businesses, they might end up compromising greatness for profitability but I'd rather get my CAVA when I can than see them go under. read more

Tasty--many options to chose from, and amazing customizations! I always get delivery from here so not sure what service is like at each establishment. However, they always get my order correct, so it must be good. read more

Service in there is amazing. Akaylia was super helpful on the food options. The ambiance is pretty cool as well. Definitely will come back for sure. 10 out of 10 read more

Wow so delicious! Lots of meat, dips and veggies options and plenty of seating! Friendly staff and nice relaxing vibe! Great place to pick up a nice healthy yet still tasty bowl, burrito or salad. $10 for such a large portion! read more

CAVA - Grain and greens - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

I frequently order delivery from this Cava, but almost every time they mess up not just one thing but multiple. I have tried different delivery apps thinking maybe the app messed it up, but no it seems to be the employees. And whatever you do, do not order using the CAVA app as their policy is to only give back 15% of the order cost. I spent $18 on a bowl that was truly laughable and was missing almost everything including the meat and I got less than $3 back. At least DoorDash gives an adequate refund. Just save the trouble and order from a different location. And Cava maybe change your borderline offensive refund policy. read more

A Larger African-American woman with a short mohawk was very loud and rude and aggressive when greeting me, I was so unsure of my bowl and was nervous to even ask a question to the woman. I love Cava and this is my second attempt trying this location. NEVER AGAIN read more

The best food I have ever had in my entire life and the best customer service in New York City by Francesca and Courtney

I used to work closest to the Union Square-NoHo location, but frequent this one for a casual weekend lunch in SoHo. Plenty of seating options (front window, perch next to fountain drinks, upstairs, outdoor backyard!), employees are lovely, and it's always a great helping of food. I thrive in these fast casual assembly line restaurant formats and Cava lets me! I go halfsies on salad base (Splendid and Super Greens) as well as main (Chicken and Seasonal Veg), get a ton of toppings, go Green Harissa dressing, and take the mini pita when offered. Also, getting a 'water cup' here means you can fill up on the dimply, high-surface area crunchy ice (max chill and so nice to munch on) and soda water from the fountain drinks. read more

I was craving Cava, usually go to the Union square location but walked here instead. Crew was very slow, also signage across the restaurant says we get packaged silverware in our bags, this didn't happen. On top of that, when I bit into my bowl it was ice cold and my stomach is sensitive so I got nauseous and vomited.. also they didn't give me a recipt read more

No complaints or concerns. We truly enjoy the exotic layers of flavors. I went in thinking safe Greek salad and got the harissa avocado and enjoy it thoroughly read more

What I had was very good, lentil and avocado salad with pita. Not much ambiance but that's about right with the menu and service.

10/10 the food was and the vibe was good. Thanks uncle Ron for throwing it down in the kitchen.

I bought some Falafel and grilled Meatballs, both were cold and soggy, not fresh at all. I was hoping the falafel had a nice taste to them but they didn't really taste like anything . They get 2 stars for cleanliness and polite staff. read more

Here's what you need to know about Cava: C- ustomizable A- mazingly delicious V- ery fast A- ffordable Thank god for Cava! Cava gives me something to look forward to during the work day, and they never disappoint. I could eat Cava for lunch everyday and never get sick of it. Here are a few tips to get the most our of the next time you go in: 1) Order halves! I love getting a half base of rice or lettuce and lentils. The lentils are a great base option because they have protein and are super filling. You can also go halvsies on the protein choice (I do chicken and falafel!) 2) Stack up the toppings! They are unlimited. You can also ask for double on your favorites! 3) Ordering online is key. There's usually a line at peak lunch hour, so make your order online so you can just pick up. 4) Get the dressing on the side, that way the bowl won't get soggy. 5) I always make my Cava last for two work lunches. Don't get rid of the lid until you're sure you're gonna finish the bowl. 6) You can ask for a free small pita on the side! I missed out on this my first time in because I didn't know it was a thing! Be sure to ask if they don't offer. read more

Every single time I've being there is a great experience, but I remember one in particular that actually made me cry of happiness, I didn't expect so much kindness on someone like In this place. One Day I went there and order my salad, and right at the moment of check out, I realized that I left my wallet at home, and I was very far from home, I lived in queens at the moment and I'm talking about the prince street location at soho, so I was very far, I was so hungry and embarrassed. The guy that took care of me that day saw my face and told me that my food was a treat from him To me, that was the kindest thing ever. I don't know his name or if he still Working there, he's light skin and long hair, tall. It's not just the food about this place, I've seen their staff actually happy to work there and that's a major plus for me. read more

Tracy & Vanessa Took great care of me. I recommend everyone visit Cava. This location in particular for there fresh food and hospitality.

this was my second time ever going to cava; my first time was at their union square location, so i wanted to give this one a try. -no outdoor dining, but i think you're allowed to eat indoors -cash and card both accepted -available for pick up or delivery by ordering through their website. -the service here is amazing as well. the person who was making my bowl was super friendly and patient with my while i was trying to decide what i wanted. -i think that their overall portion of food is definitely less here compared to their union square location, but it enough for a filling meal. 5/23/21 -greens + grains bowl: i decided to build my own bowl with half supergreens, half brown rice, tzatziki, red pepper hummus, grilled chicken, romaine, cabbage slaw, tomato & cucumber, pickled onions, fire roasted corn, and tahini caesar on the side. i was originally worried that the red pepper hummus would be too spicy for me, but it honestly wasn't spicy at all for me. i loved how the grilled chicken was seasoned and cooked just the right amount. not to mention, the vegetables tasted fresh and added a nice texture to every bite. the portion isn't as big as the bowl i got from union square, but i don't really have any other complaints. the total came out to be a little over $12 including tax, which was still worth it imo. (5/5) overall, you can really get such a balanced meal at an affordable price here! i'll be coming back in the future, but i'd probably get more of my money's worth if i went to their union square location instead. my favorite parts of my bowl that i would recommend you add into yours would be the hummus (or red pepper hummus), tzatziki, grilled chicken, brown rice, and pickled onions. read more

First time here after hearing it's good from a bunch of people at work. Long line but it moved very quickly. Pic below is a grain and greens bowl with baby spinach, brown rice, crazy feta, roasted red pepper hummus (2 scoops), grilled chicken, romaine, tomato & cucumber, pickled onions, crispy chickpeas, yogurt dill. Great portion for the price and everything was really fresh. Crazy feta is crazy good and the roasted red pepper hummus was amazing.

After attending my first Yelp Elite event at a CAVA location near me, I've been completely hooked. So when I was visiting my friend, it was the obvious choice for lunch. Per usual, I ordered a grains and green bowl with chicken, red pepper hummus (my fave!) and crazy feta which was really delicious. I again got the blueberry lavender ice tea which was very refreshing. This layout of this location was all business (ordering that delicious food) once you walk in and then you can get distracted by your seating options lol. We ate in the outdoor space at this location which was really neat & tidy. There was also space upstairs to eat your food. I'm really enjoying this establishment and can't wait to bring more people I know to the location closer to me! By the way, these meals can DEFINITELY be divided in half. Eating the entire bowl in one sitting is almost a challenge. The prices are fairly reasonable, but this makes it even better! read more

Super quick delivery and fresh, delicious food. CAVA has become one of my go-to spots for fast casual, healthy-ish lunches. I created my own Greens + Grains bowl with baby spinach, black lentils, eggplant dip, roasted veggies, tomato cucumber salad, pickled onions, and the lemon herb tahini dressing. I'm so stuffed, the portions are large, and they don't skimp on the toppings. I also love that you can get really customized nutritional info! It makes eating healthy that much easier. Yum! (Knocked off a star because the delivery fee is steep.) read more

Tracy makes a mean bowl! This place rocks!!! I also love the Cucumber Mint Line drink. Super refreshing. Come here when you're in SOHO.

The customer service was absolutely amazing- Tracy and Terri took care of me. The service was 5 stars me food was extra

I'm fairly new to the cava world but when I first tried it I loved it! I order from the location on spring st and most of the time it's delish, but I do have to add that lately my orders have been BLA, the portions are becoming smaller I had to dig for my rice not to mention my 3-4 leafs of romaine and always forgetting the pita on the side. Cava is not cheap to say the least especially on grub hub! Would have loved my lunch if it came the way i anticipated. read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally decided to pay this place a visit today. Came extremely early so the place was relatively empty. Food was fresh and prepared in front of you as you move down the line Chipotle-style. Portion size was humongous. For its price ($11), its definitely worth it for the amount of food you're getting. Chicken bowl was amazing. Had mine over a bed of rice, one of every topping and crisps to add an extra crunch to my meal. You can also do half chicken/falafel if you'd like, for the same price. This location offers 2 levels of seating as well as an outdoor seating area in the rear for those warmer days. Staff were friendly and helpful. Venue was pretty big and had plenty of seating. Would recommend ordering ahead on their app and picking up in-store if you're in a rush. Will definitely be back in the near future! read more

Apart from the food being delicious. The service here was amazing. Peter, thank you! I highly commend your exceptional service and appreciate your insightful recommendations on the menu. Your dedication to ensuring a positive Cava experience truly stood out. Keep up the excellent work! read more

My boss recommended this place it didn't disappoint. It's a meterrian version of Chipotle. What I enjoyed most about the experience is the customer service. I had no idea what to order however although it was a busy Friday night Tracy took the time to explain the flavor palette. I appreciated not getting rushed . Customer service was great, food was great. Didn't have fast food vibes at all. read more

I love cava a lot, I like the options on the menu, expensive salad like obviously like other brands that I will not promote here but always satisfied when finish eating, they have meat and is not 100% plant based like other spots. I like that they have a outside back yard and a upstairs spot inside to eat, everytime I been it was not crowded so it feels lowkey, would recommend to try. read more
