Food and staff were great! Welcoming environment and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Salt and pepper pita chips are still my favorite tho!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Top-Tier Lunch Spot! "Stopped in for a quick bite and was blown away by the quality. The bowl I built was packed with flavor—highly recommend the crispy falafel (deep-fried to perfection!) and the spicy hummus. They have a great selection of unique, fresh juices and craft beers on tap, which sets this place apart from other quick-casual spots. The service was fast and efficient. This spot is a must-try for fresh Mediterranean food!" Meika and Ana were the sweetest people I've come across in my whole life!!!!!!!!

Amazing experience at this Cava location, Dom has great energy at the register, made me feel like I’ve been a long term customer here for years! Issah and Jordan gave great recommendations on different bowl combinations to try and helped amplify and simplify my lunch experience!

Came here with Alani and we had a great experience! The line was a bit long when we walked in, but they tackled our orders in no time! The staff was very friendly and cracked jokes with us while preparing our orders! Then when it came to choosing our drink, the manager started talking us through some of his favorite drink combos (we ended up trying the lemonade mixed with lavender blueberry) and it was yummy!! He checked up on us after we started eating to make sure we were doing good! Such friendly staff. The establishment it’s self was very clean and had a fresh feel to it, just like the food! Definitely will be coming back!

Food is amazing here for the value. I love the greens and grain bowl with crazy feta and harissa + vegetables. Some of the tables remained dirty for too long and the ice machine was down but the friendly staff filled it up manually.

First time at CAVA and as a "mediterranean" person I must say that the food quality is high and the prices are absolutely on spot. The staff is efficient and friendly. Jordan in particular is wonderful!

Today was my first time trying CAVA on South Congress. The food was enjoyable and I’ll definitely be back, but what truly made the experience excellent was Jordan. He was attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Great service and great people always stand out, and his absolutely did. Thank you, Jordan!

Amazing experience at CAVA downtown Austin! Despite a huge lunch rush, Jordan, Jorge, and Henry kept the line moving quickly and still delivered top-notch service. They were friendly, efficient, and made sure every order came out perfectly. Great energy all around!

I have been coming here ever since their south congress location opened. By far the best Cava location in Austin with the most fun staff who can joke, but always work hard and always will ensure you are taken care of. The food is of the highest quality as usual and bathrooms are very clean. Shout out to the staff and Allyssa for consistently being great!

I wasn’t expecting a great experience late on New Years, but this Cava is unbelievably solid - especially given that these dudes were cranking out bowls like crazy. Jordan & Shane were super friendly. I’ll be coming back several times over the course of my stay in Austin.

Absolutely amazing experience at CAVA! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly customized to my taste. Every ingredient felt high quality, and the portions were generous. Big shout-out to Jordan, who truly made the difference. Jordan was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about providing great service. He took the time to explain options, made excellent recommendations, and kept a positive attitude the whole time. You can tell he takes pride in his work. Great food + outstanding customer service = a place I’ll definitely keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

This was my first time at any Cava location. The young man who helped me, Austin, was very helpful, patient, and friendly. He went over all the ingredients before serving them (I purchased the Falafel Crunch bowl). I really appreciated the time he took to help made my first visit a success.

I randomly stopped by Cava recently and everything was better than I expected. The staff was welcoming, and seemed genuinely happy to help me with my questions. They walked me through the options, gave solid recommendations, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. The food was fresh and flavorful. It’s one of those places where you feel full and good afterwards. Overall, Cava is a place to stop by for something quick and delicious. I’ll definitely be going back.

Cava has some of the highest quality bowls I’ve had at a fast food establishment. Honestly it rivals the quality of sit down places as well. A highlight for me is the dressing flavour and how many different sauces you can add to your bowl. I like many flavours and textures in my food so this is my top choice. It’s also a super healthy food option without sacrificing flavour. I go about twice a week and it’s always a really consistent experience.

Big thanks to the CAVA team for the amazing service and delicious food! 🥗 The atmosphere is great, the ingredients are always fresh, and the bowls are healthy and flavorful. I especially want to recognize Anna, Alex, Lilly, and Bri — they were so friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. It’s people like them that make me want to come back again and again. 💚

Ana,Alex and Lylly were phenomenal. It was my first visit here and they made it so easy. The food was immaculate and the store is just like a Mediterranean style chipolte. Love the amount of options and the unique drinks (I had the ginger beer) definitely coming back!

11/10 service, beyond satisfied with my experience! It was my first time coming into Cava today, and the staff went above and beyond to provide exceptional service, explain the different ingredients, and most importantly the food was delicious. Big shoutout to Nicole who made my bowl and rang me up. She’s the best!

Cava is an INCREDIBLE! We came on our first day of our trip and it was so delicious, we’ve been back every single day! The food is fantastic, so fresh, flavorful, and great portions. It doesn’t leave you feeling horrible about yourself since it’s all so fresh and clean. Love their chicken the best! Huge shoutout to Cole, I think he’s the manager, he recognized us coming back in each day and was made us feel very welcome and taken care of. We seriously need one of these in Vegas—please expand!!

I work for Uber Eats and recently had the pleasure of encountering Jordan, a CAVA worker, twice during a pickup. His positive attitude is truly infectious and always manages to brighten my day. The CAVA establishment itself is one of the best I’ve ever visited.

Ordered dinner on the Cava app and they use DoorDash for delivery. I ordered a grain bowl with half saffron white rice and half brown rice, grilled chicken, humus, tzatziki, persian cucumbers, kalmata olives, crumbled feta, pita crisps and Greek vinaigrette on the side. I also got the free side pita. I ordered double cucumbers, olives, feta, and pita crisps. Visually it looked fantastic. It tastes better than it looks. So Delicious! The bad news was the extra longggggg delivery time by DoorDash. When texting with my driver it was obvious there was a language barrier. I think DoorDash allowed the driver to pickup multiple deliveries from multiple locations because I was tracking his movements and this Cava is one mile away from my location but the driver actually drove around three+ miles before arriving. When he arrived I asked why was there such a long delay and he didn’t speak English. I highly recommend not using their delivery service. Next time I’ll pick it up myself. I gave 5 stars for the Food and 1 star on Service which included delivery. I didn’t rate Atmosphere because I didn’t go to their store. I gave 4 stars for the overall score.

Let me start by saying that I love cava. That being said, this a busy location- parking is crazy and it is also packed. Because of that, placed my larger order online with a pick up of 11:30a(bc I needed to take it to another venue for lunch). I arrive at 11:35 and did not receive my order until 11:49. Therefore, if you are ordering ahead of time, give yourself cushion time as well! The workers were all nice and tried to keep me up to date with the status of my order.

Severely understaffed, my order should've been ready, spent over half an hour waiting for my online order. Why are these workers only prioritizing walk in orders, they are negligently ignoring online orders with zero priority. Spending 45 minutes beyond the pickup time is unacceptable and won't be returning to any cava.

This is the most disgusting Cava I have ever had. I LOVE Cava and get it weekly, however this location… do not do it especially on DoorDash (even with Dashpass). Apparently they think they can slack if you order online. They forgot over half of my toppings including the dips I wanted on it, the Pita and chicken was cold and hard, did not give me any of my dressings. I have sugar problems and really needed to be able to eat and it tasted so bad I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. So disappointed and will go back to the Westlake location any day over this one. :(
