Delicious, everyone knows how to handle food allergies, and they can accommodate you quickly—even when it’s very busy.
Yes
Great food and friendly staff, they offer online ordering and the only major gluten concern is their pita bread which is easily avoided.
Yes
Have to make sure server(s) change gloves and get greens out of a new bin. Food is great and no issues with CC!
Yes
Excellent, make sure server changes gloves and gets lettuce from new bin. The servers who picks the greens also handle pita bread, so lettuce is contaminated. I was at Midlothian location which is not listed yet.
Yes
The food was great with no complaints on flavor and freshness. Most of the items offered are gluten free. My only complaint is below.
Walking into Cava upon looking at the menu online and seeing that there was GF options I assumed the items would be marked. Unfortunately, that was not the case and I had to pull up the list online. If the staff there were told what items were gluten free or they marked the menu it would really help to save time since it can get busy in Cava.
Ask manager for assistance and they can get food out of separate bins.
Yes
This place tries very hard to make sure you don't have cross contamination. They will change their gloves for you and even pull from the unused lettuce bin without complaint. The guy who helped me today even washed his hands before changing gloves, and they were busy!
Yes
Very fresh food. Staff was helpful with food allergy questions and immediately removed gloves when I mentioned gluten. Falafel is not gluten free, but there are many other options. Had an avocado bowl that was excellent

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!
