Cava is usually my go to, since its reliable and decent price. This is my first time in this location, usually go to the one in Columbia Heights. I got my usual order and realized after a few bites that something in there was rock hard, and after some inspection, I found it was the black lentils. Now I realize you can make a mistake and undercook them, what was a bit upsetting is that when I took it to them, they did nothing, they just told one employee they messed up and just went about their business, didn't offer another bowl, no refund, didn't even bother to take the lentils away and put them aside. Left hungry, with bad, earthy, raw lentil taste in my mouth and possibly sick since you can't digest raw lentils.
I love this CAVA so much, I come here for Too Good to Go and the service is always fantastic! The food is great and the people are lovely, I'll definitely be back here whenever I want a bowl :)
My partner and I stopped in for a quick bite before a nearby show and decided to split a bowl. The woman behind the counter went above and beyond to split the bowl for us: an unexpected but welcome level of service.
Our meal was very good and good quantity also!
Kids menu is available which does come with a small drink.
Restaurant is very spacious. Not allot of staff but they seem to work well together to reduce wait time. The eating area could have been cleaner and restrooms which needed a code to enter needed cleaning also.
This was our first visit to CAVA & food was good enough to come back again.

They helped me fix an order that, I sadly received half eaten, on DoorDash! Not even DoorDash was willing to help me, but they did! I'm so glad that they did as well because my order was expensive! Nicest manager lady ever!
I admit that food is delicious but it seems like over time (just a few months) the amount of food has decreased while the prices remain the same.
In addition, the staff’s attitude and service skills have decreased matching the amount of food served. These likely explained why today, a Saturday noon, there was not a single client at this location.
I am very likely not going back.

I come in every weekend and my experience is always top tier. Between management and the workers *chefs kiss*
always working to make the customers welcome and want to return. Great food as well. Sweet and spicy chicken wrap is my favorite and an excellent go to!!!

4 words- party in your mouth! I love this fresh take on a Chipotle but almost Mediterranean style/ maybe a tad bit healthier. The line was quick and efficient and I had a great experience overall.
I gotta be honest: I really don’t know half of what was in my bowl or what I was putting in my mouth. What I do know: it tasted FANTASTIC. Like I said, a whole party of flavors, sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy, leafy, all the textures and flavors and it just worked.
Their specialty lemonade/ flavored drink things were also phenomenal and so refreshing, and super good for you. If I lived in the area Cava would be a place I’d hit up pretty frequently!
