Not good for cross-contamination. I’ve been mildly glutened here a few times. It’s really unfortunate because the food is so good. I feel like it’s only safe if you catch them during a cool down period - not during a lunch rush.

Currently sitting here praying I don’t sick. I had to skip out on one of the things that make my dish because the cross contamination was astronomical. I was super disappointed as this company is one of the places I’ve been able to eat at with my multiple food allergies.

I really like the food here and initially thought it was safe — most items are naturally gluten free, but after a couple times feeling mildly glutened after a dozen visits, it’s hard to not feel a bit paranoid here. It seems they don’t take precautions for cross contamination, which can be an issue for people very sensitive like myself
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!
