Lots of options are Gluten Free. Only Pitas, Crisps, Falafels and desserts have gluten.

Not good signage, so they could improve that for ordering confidence and staff awareness.

Great value when you DIY a bowl to go! I got 3 lunches out of one bowl!

This new place is delicious. They have a full allergen menu online. The food is filling and so flavorful. I got the harissa avocado bowl as it comes and it was spicy and so good.

I go to CAVA frequently and have been impressed by the allergen safety they demonstrate in the way the employees operate, making it unnecessary to even mention my allergies usually. They use tongs, individual spoons, hover above the pitas to drop ingredients. Once I had a negative experience in which an employee used his just pita-ed gloved hand to stir around the lettuce then drop it in my bowl. I emailed CAVA to let them know and they made it right with a replacement bowl and stated the following: Thank you for reaching out and for bringing this to our attention, we sincerely hope that you are okay. We take cross contamination issues very seriously and take every precautionary measure to try and avoid it. That said, we would like to send our deepest apologies for this incident as your experience did not hold up to the high standards we hold ourselves to as a company. Please know that I’ve elevated this message on to our regional and area leaders who will be addressing this with our restaurant team immediately.

Kudos on continuing to improve and train your folks well, CAVA!

I have eaten here twice now and both times the staff seemed knowledgeable about safe handling. As soon as I mentioned my gluten issue they changed gloves and walked me down the line. The menu is clearly labeled as to what is gf.
