Every time I eat here, even with the assistance of the gluten free menu, I get sick. Presumably, from cross contamination. If you are celiac don’t eat here.

Overall good experience. It is a little pricy but it was really very tasty. I used the allergen app as I ordered but noticed th at on the glass protecting customers from the food that it had things labeled if they contained wheat, milk, etc. bummer that the falafel isn't gluten free but other than that there are a lot of options, as well as vegan and vegetarian options as well!

I haven’t ever been to another location, but I’ve been wanting to try it. Nothing is labeled on the menu but they might have a physical allergen menu, I didn’t ask. I just used the allergen guide online and double checked with the staff and they were very confident and immediately changes gloves and washed hands. Very few items actually contain gluten but this a cafeteria-style restaurant (similar to chipotle) so there is risk of cross contamination. So far, so good though.

Cava is a similar set up to chipotle in the build your own manner but they use spoons for all ingredients so there is less worry about cross-contamination. Everything is gluten free except for the pita, falafel, and sides but other than that it’s all safe. The website has a downloadable pdf with all food restrictions laid out which was super helpful. Delicious food and no reaction so far! My only issue with them is that the staff can be rude about the safety precautions, so be prepared to fight a little in order to have safe food.

I love their food and there are many GF options, but you have to be careful of you are very sensitive to cross contact. They keep pita bread right next to the rice and they are tossing bread around a lot. If you are very sensitive, I would recommend asking if they can get fresh rice from a backup container and change their gloves.

I love coming to Cava!! They make sure to change their gloves and get new bowls when I mention Celiac and almost everything is gluten free (just not the pita or falafels). They also gave me my bowl for free once!!!

I came here when I was visiting Austin and got a bowl that was delicious! The falafel is sadly not gluten free but a lot of their food is and they have a detailed allergen menu. I told them I have a gluten allergy and they were very good about it - they changed their gloves and answered all my questions. There is definitely some risk of cross contamination cuz they do pitas also, but from what I saw the serving spoons don’t touch the pita.
Me and the other celiac person I came with both felt good after eating here!

great greek place! they have bowls that you can get and if you tell the workers you have an allergy they automatically get new ingredients from the back. the only gluten containing item here is pita!
