Excellent service! Will took great care of us. Food was fresh and delicious. Fresh cut avocado.

Will is the absolute best!! My partner and I visit every Wednesday and he's quickly made it a tradition. Very much appreciate Will always brightening our day and making us fantastic bowls

Omgoodness, Don't walk, RUN!!! I visited Cava for the first time, and I have to say that the customer service from Elvira and Nala was exceptional. I truly appreciate their patience and knowledge, which contributed to my wonderful experience. I can't wait to return! And let me tell you about my bowl--it was absolutely delicious! The location also has plenty of seating, allowing you to sit back and enjoy your meal.

CAVA has become one of my favorite mediterranean food takeout. The food seems fresh and taste. Great they also have good sauces and the sodas and drinks are pretty good also.

Good CAVA location with a decent amount of seating. Efficient service, although I've experienced smaller portions than other places in DC. Also does To Good To Go - you just pick up your meal at the cash register.

I've always enjoyed CAVA, this location is pretty busy during lunchtime! Working just a few blocks away, I stopped in for lunch a few times and grabbed my favorite bowl; Market Spice. The service is pretty speedy, the location is kept relatively clean and they have ample seating.

Consistently great. In the category of build your own bowl franchises, CAVA cannot be beat.

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!

Definitely a fan! You can't go wrong with this place!...It's fast, healthy, quality ingredients and most of all...delicious!! I have been to several CAVA locations around the city and they all are good....and the consistency is there too! This location is no exception. They have a pretty focused menu where you choose greens or rice bowl...or both! You work you way down the down selecting ingredients for your meal and over 13+ toppings....like Lentils, Eggplant + Roasted Red Pepper, Harissa, Organic Roasted Garlic Hummus, Olives, Tomatoes, Pickeled Peppers, Cucumbers....Meats: Grilled Chicken, Spicy Lamb Meatballs, Roasted Vegetables Vegetarian options. Think of a Mediterranean version of Chipolte. I typically go for the the Splendid Greens & Rice Bowl with a mix of lentils, hummus-harissa dips, couscous, plethora of veggies...all with the Spicy Lamb Meatballs!....It is nothing but the truth!! A healthy gospel of goodness in a bowl. I opt for the grilled chicken at times with this combination, to change things up every now and then. In all, it is an excellent and tasty meal at a great value --considering its the healthy way to go. The food at CAVA is very fresh made of high quality ingredients. The meats, sauces and dressings are seasoned and has really good flavor. There are vegetarian options too. I will admit thought that it is a bit pricey when it comes to looking for a economical, cheap lunch options....but for the portion size and healthy option aspect...it is totally worth it! * PRO TIP: Use their app frequently to earn rewards and free meals!
