Mediterranean bowls and salads, lots of tasty toppings to customize to your liking, fresh and generous servings. Most everything is gluten free (except pita). Similar to Naf Naf Grill or Roti.

Not sure why this place doesn’t have any reviews yet. I think it’s a better version of Roti. Let them know you have an allergy and they will change gloves and wash hands.

Food is delicious. I chose all GF options and still had a reaction.

I had a chicken bowl. It tasted good, and I didn’t have a reaction. Staff was helpful. I will go back. Nice indoor or outdoor seating.

Horrible experience. Their downloaded menu states items are “certified gluten free”. Made a bowl with said items and got glutened really bad. Thought I’d give Cava a shot after I was glutened before and had an allergic reaction. Not allergy friendly.

I go to Cava at least 3 times a week. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Yes there is pita but it is often kept separate and if you ask the employees they are more than willing to change their gloves! I have been eating here for two years and haven’t gotten sick once!

Always ask for a glove change (here and everywhere). Lots of salad/bowl options. I love the spicy lamb meatballs - not too often you find meat-only meatballs! It’s worth the up charge. Also don’t miss adding the little pickles, Kalamata olives, and tzatziki on top!
