I can see why Cava is growing so much in popularity. I have one friend who described it to me as: "Like a Mediterranean Chipotle but slightly better." I would say that is actually a very accurate description of it to be honest. The food was very flavorful and fresh. We got a couple of bowls to try different things and my favorite was the braised lamb. The seasoning in it is spectacular. My second favorite was the falafel, probably one of the better ones I've tried to be honest. Service was great, we told the lady it was our first time and she was really patient with us as we were trying to navigate through everything. We sat down at one of the tables facing the window, it's a nice place to come get a quick meal. I will definitely be back. read more

This was my first time visiting this location. I would give the food 5 stars but the customer service/restaurant itself 3 stars. So a 4 star review to meet in the middle. I came in at lunch time on a weekend. It wasn't super busy but a steady stream of customers. I was not greeted by employees, I almost felt like a burden to the employees honestly by ordering from them. No one smiled, no one looked like they enjoyed being there. Also the dining room is smaller than other locations and tables are turned over to other customers fairly quickly, so it would be nice to have an employee cleaning them off. I ordered the chicken + rice bowl and added corn. I thought it was great. I had a good amount of chicken. The toppings were fresh. I loved the taste of the hummus and tzatziki sauce. I ended up only finishing half the bowl and eating the other half later for dinner. I really enjoyed the sour cream pita. I hope they keep those on the menu forever. read more

Joyec, Jim, Aylin, Iyonnia, Darius, Valeria I was having the worst day and these employees were so great so personable, so funny and nice and I came in 8 minutes before closing and they really made it a great experience read more

Were obsessed with this place. The staff is really friendly and the place is very clean and all the ingredients are fresh.

I am so thrilled that this location opened! The only other one near me is where I work and I'm only in that area twice a week. This one is so convenient! I ordered via the app while on the treadmill because I was hangry and would immediately leave to go pick up. I love that they provide you with updates to let you know when your order is ready vs previously when they'd give you a timeframe. It's a smaller space but seating is available for dining in. My bowl was done on time and everything tasted fresh. The person I received my mobile order from was very friendly. I seldom eat in here but I'm just glad this location is here! I love the sumac slaw! It's so good in any bowl I create! read more

This was the most disappointing Cava I've been to. They were out of the dressing I wanted and they had an attitude when I asked for it. They were also out of some of the drinks. The tomato topping was also mushy, as if the tomatoes had gone bad. This was a surprise because I went for dinner around 5, so it wasn't very late. I did appreciate that it wasn't freezing. Every other location is typically really cold. The dining room is also really small, but we were lucky enough to get a table. I'll be opting for other locations in the future as I've never run into these issues before. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This was first visit to a Cava , this location has shared parking with both outdoor and indoor seating. Upon entering we were greeted but never felt rushed. The menu is clear and easy to understand. I had the new grilled salmon bowl (arugula, brown rice, hummus, yogurt, salmon, with my choice of toppings-cucumber, olives, corn with a yogurt dill dressing. We also ordered a chicken bowl with white rice chicken, lettuce, corn, cucumbers, yogurt, hummus and yogurt dressing as well as an order of pita. Everything was fresh made in front of us and plenty for 2 meals! I will definitely keep Cava as a top go to restaurant. read more

Today is Veteran's Day, November 11, 2025 and the newest location of the CAVA dining chain has just opened their doors to the public. As any true Yelper will tell you, being the first to try out and review a new establishment, especially a restaurant, is something we look forward to. Not only will you be the first to review and set the standard but, getting an FTR is getting difficult these days...there's just so many of us Yelpers out and about itching to discover the newest eatery. That being said, CAVA offers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a fast-casual atmosphere. Their tagline "Bold Flavor, Better Value", is right on point. You have the choice of creating your own bowl or selecting one of their curated bowls or having the same ingredients in a pita. And as to the ingredients, they are certainly fresh and flavorful. I opted for the Chicken + Rice Bowl which included grilled chicken, brown rice, tzatziki, hummus, feta, pickled onion, tomato, arugula, and Greek vinaigrette. An appetizing and nutritious meal for a very reasonable price of $11.35! WIN! And since it was their Grand Opening, I received some nice CAVA swag consisting of a tote bag and tumbler! DOUBLE WIN! CAVA's stated mission is to bring heart, health and humanity to food. Truer words were never spoken. CAVA is at the forefront of that movement. Wishing all the best for CAVA's latest venue! read more

First visit, glad I went in person, since online menu doesn't have the detailed description. I don't typically enjoy Spice, so was appreciative of the employee could assist in recommending sauces. Generous serving for bowl. read more

So happy to see a Cava open in this location! I think this is the perfect spot for one. I popped by after some shopping for a late lunch, and there wasn't much of a line. The restaurant is clean and new looking, and the folks who prepared my bowl were nice and efficient. I did a build your own option, and the ingredients were fresh and tasty! This is a great bowl spot, and I hope it gets a lot of traffic in the Colonial area. read more

CAVA - Custom bowl with chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Visited this new location for lunch today, but I'm disappointed in my experience. It was aesthetically pleasing and I loved the interior and the outdoor seating with the umbrellas but I am sad about the quality. I ordered a total of three bowls, all with chicken. I don't know if we just got a bad cut of the chicken but all of ours bowls had several chewy, inedible pieces in them. Also, one of our bowls did have a hair in them- we remember seeing the employee cutting the chicken, she did have her hair tied up but there was no hair net. I love cava, and I'll keep ordering but I'm not sure it'll be from this location. read more

I love having this location to stop by after the gym or if I want a customized bowl. I usually go for chicken as the base price, but I also tried the falafel. The falafel is okay-- on my second visit it felt more like a pakora with whole chickpeas instead of a homogenous paste with fresh herbs. I've had no qualms with the chicken, and all the toppings are always delicious. I like the chain in general, but as others have said I've been to other locations that have friendlier staff and a nicer atmosphere. read more

Despite the young lady giving a bunch of attitude because I asked for a sample, I had a good experience here. I get it. I'm the first customer and asking to sample something before I purchase, I guess I'd roll my eyes, too. I didnt let it deter me from placing my large order for myself and my friend. I was able to make small talk with her and turn her frown upside down a bit. I got myself the pita with harissa chicken and a bunch of veggies. Thia location is in a good spot being right across from Crunch fitness. I work at a gym not too far from here but I think I'll stick to Winter Park and them skimping out on the toppings. read more

This cava location is consistent with the cava brand in terms of service, ambiance and delicious food. Cava is my favorite casual restaurant and this is a conveniently located option. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very limited parking in front but there is a larger shared parking lot behind so don't stress. read more

CAVA - Chicken shawarma (limited time, photo taken December 2025) - Mediterranean Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My gf keep telling me how good about this spot so finally she brought me there to try. Can't remember what did I get, but it was a pretty good lunch. All of the options I chose didn't require any extra payment. So my bowl came out with great portion & reasonable price. I think most of the proteins were extra charge. Feel pretty healthy. One thing that I believe staff should notice is DON'T DO THE FACE when people are hard on deciding or spelling the names. Your options are not very common (hummus, sauces, etc). Instead of that, staff need to be trained to explain to customers or having like a list to breakdown everything. read more

I used to live in LA and ate Cava all of the time. I bought Cava stock when they first IPO'd because I thought it was better than Chipotle and would be just as big. But this place stinks. I don't know if they have all do now, but this one does. read more

Every time I come to this cava location there's a very long line, not enough workers, and it takes 30 mins to get a bowl to go. Theres 5 parking spots in front to park. Not ideal. read more

Food was really good, the store was clean even though they were pretty busy. Richard was really nice

Shyann and Kat look like they'd rather be anywhere else but here. We took my mother in law here for the first time and it was an awful experience. It was our first time at this location, we will not be returning. Place was dirty, no silverware. Started putting lids on before we asking if we were ready or all set, didn't give us our side of pita. read more
