All I can say is that the service was probably the worst I've seen. My partial order was taken and then the line started to form as the two employees started complaining how they're the only ones on the prep line. Little waited for them to finish. They still didn't even acknowledge any of us. Pretty sure a business like Cava doesn't have customers lining up around the corner to treat their customer like this. What makes it worst is that this was my fist visit. Will not be going back. read more

Very nice overall experience with our to-go order. We got a grain and a grain & greens bowl plus a cup of one of their teas/fruit juices. You are reminded of the signs on the glass if you have a question about anything in the case. They answer any questions asked about the listed items on the signs. I tried the braised lamb and roasted vegetables over brown rice with tzatziki and crazy feta sauces. So many delicious toppings to choose from too. There are plenty of extra charges for some items or additional items so be sure to ask if you are uncertain. Our bowls made 3-4 meals for the both of us so you definitely get your money's worth. Worth a visit! We will certainly be back. read more

See all

Excellent food! I highly recommend the spicy falafel! Using the app is really helpful!!

Would give no stars. Not fresh, barely anything in the bowl. Paid $14 for the worst food and service. Manager who I could barely understand wanted me to drive back for what? Refund my money. Never AGAIN!! read more

CAVA - This is the worst bowl ever!!! $14 - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

My family and I had worked up an appetite shopping at IKEA and Target nearby and so when we saw CAVA, we made a u-turn to have lunch there. I've eaten at CAVA several times over the years (I had it in DC a few years ago but it's started to spread to TN and TX, where I have lived and spend a lot of time), and it's one of my favorite fast casual places to grab a quick, affordable, but healthy meal! This location was no different. If you haven't been before, think of it like Middle Eastern Chipotle: you walk down the line choosing your base (salad, lentils, pita, etc.), your dips and spreads (tzatziki, hummus, harissa, etc.), your protein (falafel, roasted veggies, lamb meatballs, braise lamb, chicken, beef, etc.), your toppings (too many to list), and your dressing (a lot of options here, too, but I love the yogurt dill since it's cooling after adding the harissa). It sounds like a lot, but they're pretty helpful and don't rush you if you're confused. My stepdad was the only one who hadn't been before, and he really enjoyed his creation. If you haven't had it before, it's a great healthy quick option when you're in the area. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

I hate leaving bad reviews!! But the manager at this location has a stank attitude every time. Food is great, the manager not so much. The restaurant is clean usually but the last couple of times has been just as nasty as the manager. read more

I used to love this place. Came here a few times a week. Recently their services drastically changed. They no longer offer free water in order to make more money. Their food tastes worse. Very unfortunate. I hope it's only this place and not all of the locations! read more

Very slow service -- waited 30 minutes for two bowls and meanwhile, the line was being served at a reasonable pace. We waited an extra 30 minutes after pickup. Very slow, very unprofessional. read more

This place is great. We've always had excellent customer service and they are patient (with me at least) if I have questions about multiple items. Now that I've been a few times I know exactly what to order. The pita chips are a MUST HAVE add on and every time my taste buds think "Are these too salty?" my brain is like "Nope just perfect." The only thing that confuses me when I order is why they ask if I want the free pita bread. Ummm does anyone actually say NO?! Probably, but they're just not living their best lives. read more

Reasonably priced at as low as $10 for lunch. Think chipotle except with more of a Mediterranean spin, and the sweet tea is included in your drink price. A lot of restaurants charge extra for non-fountain drinks that are made there, but this place surprisingly did not. Before going here I wrongfully wrote it off is just more hipster junk but it's actually really good and very healthy for you. Very flavorful. Balsamic date chicken is a really good bowl read more

This evening, I visited the CAVA at 5201A Campbell Blvd in Whitemarsh. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was gonna be horrible. The trashcan was overflowing and the tables were dirty (during CoVID), so I decided to do take out. I asked the female employee about the greens options and she failed to tell me that there was a extra charge for rice if I got Rightrice. Then, when I asked for rice she didn't want to give me the correct portion. Then she insulted my intelligence by questioning me as the customer. Next, I ask for falafel and they (her and two other employees) begin to talk about me in their native language when they were just speaking aubianle English. I was then advised that I could only get four falafel while that was my only protein and I had already paid 1.50 extra for rice and greens. Then I ask for my pita bread and they tell me they are all out. The smart business owner after this horrible experience and the rudeness that was expressed so far should have alerted me that they didn't have pita (which was included) and deducted some of the other options. It is unfortunate because I am a business owner that purchases from this location often. However, I will never step foot in this location and I will advise my clients and anyone else I know to do the same. There are plenty of options, especially during a PANDEMIC! T. Booker read more

I came to this location during my lunch break. The restaurant was very busy but the staff moved quickly and were pleasant. I had the avocado harissa bowl and it was really great! I would recommend this location to anyone who wants mediterranean food with a twist. The portion size was large as well. Definitely try the crazy feta as well! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

As soon as I order I receive a nasty attitude it just makes me not want to eat here or give this place my money. Seriously if you don't like your job quit. Your attitude shows and makes customers uncomfortable. read more

Food was fresh. The team helped us alot. Definitely will come back. We love the new steak.

I love cava, the spicy red harissa sauce is everything! Never been disappointed with my bowl

great location to the shopping center, one of my staple CAVA locations locally. Never misses, and if they are out of something or they make a mistake, they do their best to accommodate! read more

Decent food. Ok Customer service. Small location. Interesting decor. Nice covered outdoor space. read more

Whatever you do don't order off a mobile order. I ordered at 1145 said pick up will be ready at 12:01 I have been standing for the last 15 mins. I should have just walked in and ordered because people have came in to sit down to eat and are now finishing up their food. Horrible service I'll go next door to nalley fresh read more

Let me start out by saying I am a CAVA regular at this location. But it's starting to go downhill. Today, me and a friend went to grab lunch. The portions were extremely small and I thought they were joking. I had to awkwardly ask for more lentils for my GRAIN BOWL. They put in enough for a topping. My friend ordered 1/2 sweet potatoes and 1/2 chicken and got TWO potatoes. The "mini pita" was different and was like a 1/4 cut of the regular one. The employees weren't friendly nor did I recognize them so they could be new. When I asked where the Fresno peppers went, I got an attitude response. The Schkug sauce was pure liquid and not a normal consistency. Overall bowl was small and lacking. Not sure what's changed recently but something has and I'm disappointed. read more

Tried CAVA for the first time recently, it was decent. If you're picking up an order don't stand by the spot for pickups no one will tell you they have the food behind the counter. Overall the food was okay, they left out one of my toppings which they could have told me at pickup which I would have appreciated them being upfront rather than me finding out. For the type of food it is I would rather just to go Qdoba. read more

CAVA - create your own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

I just want it to bring to your attention, so that this employee can get better at her job. I come into this location every week and today I went to get my bowl as usual and the girl "wynter" didn't even greet me, didn't offer my choices like the rest of the employees and had a resting bitch face. It look like she doesn't like this job and her costumer service was awful. She had the worse attitude and needs to learn how to work in costumer service. Thanks read more

Never a disappointment. This place makes me do the happy food dance every time I get to go. The lamb meatballs are my go to. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

Yuck. I really didn't want much so I decided on a pita and soup. The soup was vegetable but I think they had forgotten to add the vegetables. It was watery - so no. I got pita and hummus. The hummus tasted like ground up white beans with some water and no spices. Ate one bite. Yuck. The tables were all dirty and the floor was not cleaned to the scary point. read more

CAVA - Food detritus from the last customers and gross floor in background. - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

Reminds me of going to chipotle. Similar in concept with the flow of the line, the choices for the base and the toppings, and the up charges for the extras. The food is pretty good. I got a pita with lamb meatballs, and piled on 2/3 of the optional toppings. Very flavorful. Pretty filling. Overall satisfying. I did not see any signs for the actual options outside of the tiny print on the glass. I would stop by and grab a menu on the way in read more

The chipotle of middle eastern-ish cuisine, quick service, fresh looking food. Lots of flavors and you can mix and match. I think it's a health quick food option read more

Omg CAVA is the best Mediterranean quick service spot I have had thus far. For starters, you stand in a quick two minute line and then you are graced with staff who will take your order and provide details on anything that you will need. You must try the Pineapple Apple Tea it's sweet and savory. I had the salad bowl the lettuce was crisp and fresh. My toppings were to die for and the dressing was outstanding. Everything is reasonably priced between 9-13 dollars. Trust me I'll be back next week. read more

I love CAVA dips that are sold at my local grocery store and have been to Cava mezze a number of times--so good. I kept hearing such great things about this quick service version, and wished we had one closer than DC. I stumbled upon this newer location today and couldn't have been happier! The restaurant itself is quite large with ample seating, including high chairs for little ones. The service when ordering at the counter was friendly and very speedy. Being my first time, it was a bit overwhelming having SO many choices, but the nice lady helping me provided great suggestions. I ordered a rice bowl with half chicken/half falafel, tzatiski, hummus & crazy feta dips, and a myriad of toppings. It was 10x better than I could have even expected--and with endless combos and choices, I can't ever imagine getting sick of this place. The one major downside--its a 25 min drive from my house :( Compared to Zoe's kitchen, which I have down the street, I would easily drive back to CAVA before going to Zoe's anytime soon. The quality, choices and price are truly unbeatable (I was shocked my entire bowl came to $10 and change, great bang for your buck). Please open another location in the Towson area! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

This cava is the worst. They couldn't fulfill part of my order or make accommodations so I asked for a refund. The store manager, Jainson, refused to do the refund even though I'm not getting any food or do the due diligence to contact about a refund. Then an employee cursed at me saying "who tf is she talking to". This store is unprofessional and very nasty to customers. Even the family in front of me had a bad interaction with them as they were very rude and hostile to them. If you would like to keep your sanity and peace, don't go to this rude establishment. read more

CAVA brings me so much joy. The selection of fresh and flavorful ingredients always keeps me coming back. I live in downtown Baltimore and will definitely be taking the drive to CAVA frequently. Roasted red pepper hummus and harissa sauce (careful if you don't like spice) are TO read more

CAVA - Blueberry Lavender Juice - Mediterranean Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

What a great surprise to pull up & see a CAVA in White Marsh closer to me!! Yay! Good clean Mediterranean eating at a good price. It's very filling. Employees were super nice and helpful. The place was clean and nice. I got a "greens and grains bowl." So it had super greens mixture & I could also pick a grain of lentils. Tasziki is delicious and made the right traditional way-no onions!! Thank you!! Hummus is delicious and I did the 1/2 & 1/2 chicken choices. You can add other items and sauces. So very good. You made 2 girls happy today on their late lunch!! read more

After a morning of shopping at Ikea, one needs to refuel with some delicious, wholesome food. Cava hit the spot. I love when we can build our own bowls of food with fun ingredients! The staff were super nice and quick. The food was amazing! I think we ate every morsel of food in our bowls. So yummy! read more

Customer service is absolutely awful. The women at the register talking poorly about prior customers in front of me - "I can't believe she would bring her kids here to purchase rice and chicken for $12.00." Disparaging how the company who pays you your income acquires the funds to do so - just absurd. Hire better people. Do better. read more

If the staff was even halfway friendly, I would have given it 5 stars. The food is great and always fresh!

So after a 20 minute wait, which this place is not short staffed. Out of one of the salad greens, which I understand, my issue is no pita, yet they have "pita chips" and refuse to substitute for Pita. Really? So you "fry it" same difference. read more

Worst service. I am a long time customer of Cava and appreciate that they offer healthier food options. However, the customer service at this location is so inferior I will not return. I have had several bad experiences at this location, but the service on the evening of 6/17/24 was a deal breaker. The female staff (both of them) were rude, and the restaurant was out of many food and toppings. I was attempting to place three orders which made it complicated. The staff had no patience to facilitate this process. They were more interested in closing shop although it was 45 minutes prior to closing. The seats were stacked up and the staff taking orders were impatient, rude, and clearly ready to go. I would have placed my order online (which seems to work best when ordering for more than one) but couldn't because the dining area was already packed up. The level of disrespect and lack of customer service is unacceptable and I will not be back. Updating this review. Upon getting home, the black lentils are hard as rocks. Not sure if they were not prepared properly. read more

Food is delicious. Staff is kind of meh. They don't seem to want to be there. Anyway, its healthy choices. Quite a few selections of meats, rice, and add ins. You can choose from non spicy to pretty spicy. The serving sizes are big. Kind of pricey. But if you want a healthy meal that will fill you up, I do reccomend Cava. Perfect place for vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters. read more

I enjoyed Cava. It's a nice alternative to healthy, fast-casual food in the area, and being a fan of Mediterranean food, this was really up-my-alley. The staff was friendly, and I like the make-your-own concept, but it honestly was a little too oily for my liking and expensive (though it is filling). Would recommend to specific friends, but not everyone I know read more

I'm pretty plain, but their salads are sooo good. All their sauces are yummy. I get extra taziki and the yogurt dill l always.

Portion size less but charging more.....not even worth it no more.. clean and friendly but won't be back. Was a regular at least once a week since they open but I'll pass read more

Very healthy food. I love grab it for a quick lunch. The service is always very good. I enjoyed going there.
