    No complaints, super friendly staff! The line moves quick and for how much you get the price is amazing. The food taste and looks really fresh, they have outside seating so enjoying the nice weather while eating is a plus. Honestly all around a super good bowl, will be coming back.

    Cava is honestly my favorite place to order from currently. The food is amazingly fresh and SO yummy. I never leave any of it and even after I finish my bowl I always want more. The service I'm sure goes hand in hand and is amazing. I haven't been to a Cava, however I'm sure the vibes are on point also. 100/100 would recommend! I always love eating Cava!!

    I've been to this CAVA location a few times now and I've had several good experiences. Great seating layout inside and out with many options to choose from. The food has always been consistent in quality and taste. Customer service is just ok. I'll definitely keep returning though!

    Chicken Shawarma bowl
    Brian D.

    Cava again??!! Yes yes indeed, I love it that much.... lol today it's chicken shawarma !!! It's solid not as flavorful as the lamb but the sauces and other additions really bring it all together. I'm not sure when my cava addiction will die down but maybe you could help me? Have a nice day folks :)

    Build your own bowl with spicy chicken. (Slight up charge for spicy, worth it!)

    CAVA is a fast casual Mediterranean restaurant. Think chipotle but better. It's a super quick grab and go meal but this location has plenty of seating if you'd prefer to stay. I'm just usually popping in for something quick. The process is like any build your own venue. You choose a base, grain, protein, dips (i.e hummus), toppings (so many options here) and sauces (again so many options). The food is consistently fresh, the service is usually very friendly and I've never had any issues. It's my understanding they have a few locations in the area but I have appointments near this spot so it's usually my go-to. Worth the try if you're looking for something fast, casual and honestly (in my opinion) super affordable for the quality and size of the meal. I snagged two bowls to go so I could have the extra one for lunch tomorrow.

    Super delicious fresh food, great service and amazing lemonades. My favorite lemonade is a mix of Bluberry Lavender/ Cucucmber Mint/ Classic lemonade -- just sooo good and not too sweet. Great locations, seats available inside and outside. The best place to eat super delicious bowl with fresh ingredients of your choice. Plenty of meat and veggies options both for meat lovers and vegetarians.

    Bowls, friends, good times

    After a great run, my friends and I decided to refuel at Cava, and it was the perfect choice. Their bowls are not only delicious but packed with fresh ingredients that really hit the spot. The flavors were amazing, and it felt good to have such a healthy, satisfying meal after our workout. The ambiance was lively, and the music made the experience even better--lots of groovy tunes that set an upbeat vibe. A special shoutout to Jade, who made our visit memorable too, she was very attentive and gave great recommendations for next time we come:)

    For a 1st timer, CAVA will be overwhelming with all the varities and options. However, this review is for my 2nd time going to CAVA, different location and totally different vibe because it was in downtown Tampa. This place is excellent for anyone with dietary restrictions or needs. They serve HUGE portions which means LEFTOVERS! It even tasted better the next day. The food is definitely fresh and I am a huge fan of the cucumber mint lime drink! Delicious!

    I came in a few month ago with my BF and I was so overwhelmed by the options I just let him order/eat and I missed out!! A friend suggested it this week and I looked at the website; holy grail of Cava information!!! The build your own bowl choice gives in depth descriptions of every single item and how best to compile your bowl. After about 45 min I finally made all my choices and the website made it easy to order for grab and go pick up (although now I can also order in person!). The food was SO fresh, healthy and the chicken had quite the kick! I felt full? Energized and ready for the afternoon which is not usually the case after eating a bowl! Already can't wait to try another bowl and love that each one comes with a little complimentary side of pita! Great place and easy location for pick up!

    Honey harissa chicken bowl with balsamic date dressing (make your own)
    Alysea J.

    Cava is my obsession at the moment. I go here atleast once a week for a fresh, healthy delicious meal. They are the new "Mediterranean chipotle", you can go down the line and pick anything you like. Ambiance is nice, bright, and open. Lots of windows so the dining area gets a lot of sunlight which is nice. The honey harissa chicken is my favorite with the balsamic date dressing. It is spicy with a little bit of sweetness. I love to mix the lemonade and blueberry lavender drinks to have a blueberry lemonade. The service here is great, especially the manager (he is a sweetheart), but I do have to say be careful about coming late at night because they do run out of things a lot. Go park by Bulla for free parking and walk over. Nonetheless, this is one of my favorite places in tampa to grab a quick meal!!

    First time getting a pita wrap at Cava! Typically a huge bowl girl, but was feeling like switching it up this time. The wrap was delicious, but SO MESSY! I ended up having to eat it with a fork and knife! However, the pita was nice and soft, and I loved everything I put in the wrap - just a messy meal. Will probably stick to bowls for the most part, but I liked being able to try something new!

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. In the spirit of expanding our culinary pallet, we ordered two apps that were new to us. The Kebbeh was very good - i'd say similar to a meat hush puppy? Krispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The Baba Ganju was different than what I was expecting and not something I personally liked (not any fault to the dish, I'm just a texture person). The chicken shawarma and gyro platter (it's a platter at dinner) were FANTASTIC! Seriously, so much flavor, fresh, the meat was not overly cooked. Everything tasted very fresh and we seriously had no complaints!! We also ordered a side of Batata, which are sort of crispy potato cubes with chili flakes + garlic - so good! I will say when we got there, there was a mishap and we waited over 20 minutes to be greeted and introduced to our server after we sat down. Once our server realized we were in her section, the rest of our service was amazing! I think that was just a one off fluke, and I would not let it negatively impact my experience.

Our server was nice and attentive and offered food suggestions which was appreciated as this was our first time. The lamb meatballs were not my favorite. If you are not a texture person then you will probably be fine. The whipped feta was definitely a favorite. Not pictured are their lamb chops with asparagus and potatoes. The lamb chops and potatoes were cooked and seasoned well! The only thing we wish was better was their bathroom setup. They have one single-occupancy men's restroom and one single-occupancy women's restroom. They do not keep up with making sure the bathrooms have toilet paper nor keep it clean. We understand it was busy but hopefully they can improve this in the future. Otherwise, I recommend especially when there is a dj!

The sangria was also incredible and definitely a standout. The only downside was that the service felt a little slow, so in between ordering drinks it felt like a long time. I did not mind too much though because the overall experience was still really fun. Definitely a place I would go back to!

We got a cute booth by the window and enjoyed the natural light and beautiful plants along the front of the restaurant. I wish our service would have been better though. Our waitress seemed distracted and maybe a bit overwhelmed by the amount of tables she had. Overall I don't think I would go back to dine in again but would consider take out.
