CAVA

Beware of this location: they closed almost an hour early.
I ordered food for pick up, out of courtesy because I don’t order to stay within the last hour of service.
It’s just principle.
So I order to pick up an hour before close.
I show up, and the entire bar has been cleared, all meats and grains put away, and I was told they “have no food”.
An hour before closing.
I understand wanting to close service on time, but to be cleaned up and ready to leave that far in advance is just unacceptable.
Not only that, but one of the employees was complaining because if they made my order she “won’t have enough food to take home for my brother”.
Ridiculous.
The only person on this entire team worth having a job is Maldani.
He was outrageously apologetic and tried to right the situation, with over the top kindness.
Overall though, bad location, don’t spend your money here.

An hour wait for CAVA bowl ordered online? I love CAVA, but this is awful.
Even if the bowl had been the best bowl I’d ever had (which in no way was it), an hour wait for a CAVA is wild.
They could have at least given an accurate promise time on the app, I waited in the restaurant for more than 30 minutes after the promise time.

Owner response

They’re really generous with the chicken, and I loved the eggplant.
The flavors were pretty good; it was just a tad bit oily.
The price was great.
