Picked up from CAVA and couldn’t have been more disappointed. I guess I should have ordered a bowl instead of a pita but that wouldn’t have changed the fact that each piece of my “falafel” contained at least one complete chickpea, and were mushy and cold. The pita was so drenched in sauces that it fell apart when I tried to pick it up. The chicken pita was just as bad but at least not as cold. Kids meal was missing dipping sauce on the side. This place just doesn’t care what they’re serving. Each item we ordered was slightly wrong in terms of toppings and sauces. The order was also ready late and the place wasn’t very busy. Food prep area was dirty and visibility in disarray at 4:15pm. That should have been my cue to turn around and leave.

I’ve only been a couple of times, but I wanted to write this review to highlight the generosity of the employees at CAVA on Lake Ave. Specifically a young man named Josiah, and the rest of the crew that worked on July 27th, were so extremely kind and helpful to me, and other customers. Amazing employees and people in general! 🙂

A nice pit stop for some yummy Mediterranean fast casual. The rice bowls are pretty tasty and you can’t go wrong with trying your favorite ingredients. This location feels very spacious and clean. I got the chef curated spicy lamb pita, and while delicious, it was a complete saucy disaster. Way too many juices everywhere. Wouldn’t recommend for a first date lol. It’s double the price of chipotle and I don’t think double the value, but it’s a solid chain and has been a nice splurge on occasion. Would definitely go back.

This place opened up 2 weeks ago, located where Pieology used to be. It’s right next door to Corner Bakery. This is one of those build your own bowls, salads, or wrap places, but with Mediterranean inspired meats and flavors. The location is a fairly large open space with plenty of good light. The staff was pretty friendly, and they responded well to the myriad questions that came their way. I got the 1/2 bowl/(super)greens with the chicken. They gave ample meat, and I noticed that some meats have an added cost (which they clearly spell out). They also give you 3 sauces (like hummus and yogurt flavors) and unlimited other toppings, which takes some time to analyze the first time through. My wife got the mini pita. The pita is very fresh and thick, almost like a thicker tortilla, and is unlike the typical pita you buy in the grocery stores. My wife and I thought the food was absolutely delicious. This is a great and perfect addition to the Lake Ave Shops area! I will definitely be back!

This is a very distinctive Mediterranean restaurant. There are many kinds of dishes, the dishes are very novel, and the taste is very good. You can smell some special fragrances when you walk near the gate. My friends and I have eaten here. We like it very much. , The waiter here is very beautiful

Delicious! The lamb, roasted veggies…I could list everything. The greens bowl was refreshing and delicious! The staff was friendly even though there was a rush.

You can order a bowl from the menu OR build your own. ‘Service set up style’ is similar to chipotle, BUT the food is Mediterranean. LOTS of choices to choose from!! Rec. the Blueberry Lavender iced tea! My favorite new place
