I love Cava - it's a quick and healthy option for any meal! The TenleyTown location on Wisconsin Ave is right by my house. I stop in a few times a week. Valery & Vanessa are always so cheerful and professional. That place is always so busy but the service never suffers! read more

Valerie was so helpful and kind! Always come here best cava, will come again for future

I'll start out by saying that Cava is my absolute favorite fast casual restaurant. Everything tastes so fresh and authentic, and for me it gives me a delicious, healthy meal at a reasonable price. Every time I've gone there, to any Cava, the food is always fresh and tasty. Not one bad meal ever in more than 5 years of going there. This Cava also has a great outdoor space. This Cava in Tenleytown is my neighborhood Cava. All the staff are super friendly and eager to help you out. Just today, I went in to get my usual greens bowl to go. I got to the register to pay for my order and scanned my barcode for loyalty. The cashier, Valerey, told me that I had a birthday reward... a free dessert cookie or brownie. I told her I couldn't take it because I'm pre-diabetic and can't eat a lot of sweets. She comped my bowl instead, since I couldn't take the reward, which was so unexpected and thoughtful of her. I was really touched. You guys are truly exceptional. Thanks! read more

The food is always excellent the service is as well, the atmosphere is always welcoming the ambience is perfect.

this is my first yelp review. I am gen X and never complain about anything. But the people who work at the Cava in Annapolis are so rude it makes me want to scream. The food is great and I have gone hundreds of times. It started out fine, but now the people who work there act like nonchalant, misanthropic teenagers who just dropped their iPhones into a port a potty. read more

Great spot for lunch while on campus at usc . Was on campus for grad school and on our lunch my classmates and i stopped by Cava for lunch. My first time at cava and it reminded me of greek Mediterranean food meets chipotle. The food looked fresh, meats were freshly prepared the greens, rice quinoa were all freshly made and very healthy food options available. You can make your own bowl or pita or order a pre designed bowl or pita. I opted to try their chicken pita and opted to have it made as it was intended. You can customize it as you please which was nice. The taste of the pita hit the spot the chicken, veggies, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes all blended well together providing a beautiful blend what you'd expect from Mediterranean food flavors. The size of the pita was plentiful to fill me up. Price for the pita was a bit high but its expected when on campus at $11.xx for the pita or the bowl option. To wash down the food i ordered there in house juice, strawberry citrus juice. They offer seasonal juices along with fountain soda, and bottled drinks. Overall i had a great meal here and would recommend people try cava especially if you are a fan of Mediterranean food and looking for healthy lunch option. I will definitely come back the next time i am back on campus. read more

Amazing experience! Great customer service!! Staff were so quick and friendly. Food is delicious too

The staff at this location is always friendly and prompt when dealing with the lunch hour rush. They remember customers' names and even orders which gives the feel of a neighbor restaurant. I appreciate how clean they keep the location. read more

Downloaded Yelp just to write about this Cava! I ordered through UberEats tonight and the driver took my original order and cancelled on me without delivering my order. I was on the phone with Cava and they told me to cancel my original order and then reorder. When I finally got my meal, I had a Blondie added to my reorder with this note. So kind! read more

The Tenleytown Cava has outstanding employees and service, especially a man named Mikel. He was professional, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I wanted to give him and his colleagues a gratuity but that is not permitted, unfortunately. read more

Food, service and ambiance were awesome! TJ saw our face of confusion being our first time here and patiently explained the menu and a la carte options. I also lived their Jasmine Tea option! I guess I have a new favorite healthy fast food restaurant. We need a CAVA in las Cruces, NM! read more

I love CAVA! This review speaks more to the service, since my food was pretty on point. The service was very eh - I wasn't greeted upon arrival, nor did I get a "what can I get for you" once I actually got to the counter. So I was pretty turned off from the beginning. I ordered a salad and a grains and greens bowl and while I followed the salad bowl all the way through, I failed to do the same with the grains and greens bowl...so it ended up being a salad. That was cool, it was my fault and I didn't need the rice anyway...but it also would've been cool to receive what I asked for. Other than the mediocre service, I have no complaints. I'll be back of course, because I love CAVA, but to different location. read more

The order was not correct. I ordered double broccoli and did not get any. I ordered pita and it wasn't included. There were very few greens and no utensils. I took pictures. I also called Cava and told them the order problems and the girl was in different. She offered no apology and said if I wanted to come in to the restaurant, she would give me the pita. I ordered Uber heat's because I'm at a hotel for business and don't have a rental car. What a ridiculous thing to say. I ordered delivery for a reason. read more

I had to write about the CAVA in Tenleytown. I love everything there! The staff is always ready, friendly, and accommodating. Valery and her team are professional and polished, the store is clean, and the selections are always fresh every time I go -- which is at least once a week. I'd go more frequently, but I don't live near! I especially enjoy the falafel and the lamb. And I always top it off with a glass of Cucumber Lime Mint. read more

When I first started coming, everyone was rude except Vanessa. She has been an angel to me. The food is always great. I just wish the rest of the staff got training on customer service. I haven't been in so long because of how I've been treated for the past couple of months. However, I went today and surprisingly there was a new manager there and he was super sweet to me, unlike the manager w/ the makeup. Even though there was a new manager, the lady still decided to throw things into my bowl. I literally will never be back in that place. I will also be telling my colleagues not to eat there for lunch. If someone would like to contact me to further discuss, you can email me. read more

Just very disappointed about your prices I know everything is up but not to charge for everything it's too much for real you are not helping us definitely I won't stop by anymore to your place too much read more

First time visiting CAVA at the Midtown location in Charlotte, North Carolina. I absolutely love the food. Great customer service. I will return again. read more

So incredibly grateful to this Cava's manager and staff for helping make our end-of-the-year senior presentations event a success at the local high school. The assortment of dips and fresh pita was such a hit and our students and parents were thrilled. The manager helped me figure out the 'menu' for the event, everything was prepped and in order long before my arrival time for pick-up. It was a completely stress-free partnership. Could not recommend this CAVA more for your catering needs. read more

Got food poisoning from the food. Couldn't even make it to the bathroom to throw up for the fourth time since eating such disgusting food. Never going back, not worth the money. read more

Freddy was awesome. As a first time customer, reviewing a menu can be overwhelming. Freddy helped ease my trepidation and made the process as simple as it should be. Thanks Freddy read more

This place is like a Mediterranean Chipoptle, and was absolutely great (honestly I may even prefer this to Chipotle). The variety of sauces and flavors were amazing and I'm super excited to go back! read more

CAVA - Grilled beef meatball pita with lots of GOODNESS in it. - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Cava has been one of my favorite places to eat for a while. Ive only ever gone to eat in person. I recently decided I wanted it delivered so I had To go to their own website to do it. Anyway I order over $30 worth of food and my main dish was completely inedible. I got the main dish with a lentil base and the lentils tasted like they were A. Either spoiled or B. Not cooked. They were like very hard and crunchy. I was so hungry I tried to eat around them and I only lasted a few bites. Anyway fast forward a few hours and I got super sick. I was like what the f... did I get food poisoning? Anyway I had to throw the food away, it was disgusting. Anyway I thennnnn emailed customer support. I had several exchanges in nearly every single one thr customer service rep didn't answer my questions, I asked for a refund and nothing. It's been 2 weeks of back and forth with them on an open ticket and I'm So irritated. Majority of my experiences at CAVA have been wonderful above and beyond but I'm really really frustrated with how this current situation is being handled - I feel like I'm being given the runaround and I really really really effing hate that. Anyway I really don't know if I'll be coming to eat there again but for everyone else, I highly recommend staying away from their delivery and anything that involves dealing with customer service that is online. read more

I LOVE going to Cava in Tenleytown! Why? Everyone there seems like an authentically real and nice person and I always leave feeling better than when I came in. I know that it takes a lot of effort behind the scenes to create such a consistently positive vibe, and I can see that they are really doing it. read more

food was ready quickly! Very good service and very clean. I will be coming back. the food was very delicious

Solid CAVA. Ordered via Uber Eats and still tasty every time. CAVA gives wonderful options for flavorful and "healthy" food. Black lentils are my go-to for a filling and tasty bowl. Will never go back to rice or greens! read more

This location is where I first fell head over heals for Cava! Cava is the full package such as my favorite Mediterranean cuisine items, meals are prepared quickly, fresh & healthy ingredients, and delicious drinks to pair up with their meals. I eat there on a weekly basis and mix up my meals with different protein sources such as falafel, braised lamb, braised beef, and their meatballs. Then they have a great spread of sauces such as lemon herb tahini, yogurt dill, and their vinegarette that accompanies their braised lamb & beef soooooo very well! With so many options of salad, rice, hummus, veggies, proteins, and sauces I just never get tired of this place! read more

Great food that's healthy and tastes good. Recommend anything with falafel. But the restaurant could be cleaner.

I work across the street from this location, and lunch here, is often the best part of my shift. The staff are so kind, attentive, and friendly! The restaurant is always so clean, and no matter how long the line is at lunch, they keep the follow of traffic going. Valerie, Sara and Vanessa are so helpful! they are greet you with a bright smile, and are simply that best ! I truly appreciate them for always making my lunch experience the best !! read more

The whole team is so amazing. Food is fresh and customer service is outstanding. Especially Team member Elmer at the 14th St location. Columbia Heights DC read more

After working in Tenleytown / DC for a couple of years, I can truly say this is one of the best Mediterranean healthy fast food ("Chipotle") type spots, with high quality, DELICIOUS ingredients that have a lot of variety. I recently discovered that I'm no longer allergic to Chickpeas / hummus (after 10+ years), and find that the falafel is very well cooked here compared to other places (including the famed Amsterdam Falafel), and the healthy options & taste are not hindered by each other :) The drinks are so delicious & fresh: creative juices, ranging from kale mango Apple, to simple flavored iced teas. Although, a little steep at $2 per (I'd guess) 12-16oz cup, but with free refills it's not too bad. P.S. A comparative falafel quality shop is Roti! Check that out too :) read more

I went to get lunch at Cava today. There was an extremely rude man holding the line up and being very rude to the staff. The staff handled him extremely well considering his lack of respect for everyone around him. The staff remained professional and did their best to move the line along. The food was excellent and the service was great. Will be back again read more

Yummy! Tons of different flavors & options! Super healthy & fresh! My favorite place!! You get a ton of food for the $$. :)

WOW! Yum! oh my goodness, vegan options for me! I just moved to Westminster CO, and I was headed to get a vegan pizza, when I happened upon CAVA; the photo of a healthy bowl of veggies, beans, rice, and dressing caught my eye, so I stopped in and found myself in a vegan paradise! There were so many options to choose from, everything was fresh and colorful, and the bowl I created was mind-blowingly delicious! I will definitely be a regular at CAVA! read more

Moved from Chicago in October and did not seem to think the hype was real over a fast food chain. I've been to Roti and Naf Naf and thought they were ok but not great - CAVA will change your mind. Love the variety and freshness that is CAVA. I'm converted to greens with chicken, veggies and almost all of the toppings. This location in general is great. The service has been top notch and freshness her questioned. I'm a fan, the end! read more
