CAVA - Athens (GA)

1 /5 Destinee Brunell: I’ve had CAVA at other locations but will never go back to the Athens location. I order the salmon bowl for pickup with avocado added. I was in Athens for a doctor’s appointment and live 30 minutes from the location. When I got home and opened my food I first noticed that the avocado was rotten, so I had to scoop most of that out. That pissed me off because I paid $2 extra for it and feel if it’s rotten it doesn’t take a whole lot of common sense not to put that in the food. After scooping that out I noticed there was in fact NO SALMON on my salmon bowl. On top of all of that the portions given for nearly a $20 meal was a joke. I am working on getting my refund right now because this meal was not worth a dime of my money. Of course when calling the location to speak to someone the call goes directly to an error dial tone. This sucks because I love CAVA but after reading other similar reviews to mine it seems the Athens location needs to be closed. Edit: I did get a quick response after submitting a complaint with support. They did not refund my money but did give me a credit on the app. I think that’s pretty crappy if I didn’t want to eat CAVA again but I happen to love a different location near me, so I will be using it there.

5 /5 James St John: We stopped in and were initially concerned that we had made the wrong choice, because there were very few patrons for the lunch hour. We ordered and were seated... as you can see from the video, the crowd arrived soon after. The food was fabulous and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend! I had the build your own bowl with the Harissa Honey Chicken. All the ingredients were just wonderful. Kindness and Generosity are more than a corporate value of this place. The staff at the Athens location really practice it. Thanks!

5 /5 Gladytza Vazquez: It was our first time coming to Cava. I only came because of a tiktok video & it wanted me to try it. We came in, it was packed. One of the employees, I never got her name but she was the sweetest person ever. They all seemed overstimulated, as if they were short staffed. She made an announcement saying the dining room was closed but she allowed us to order online & pick up inside when it was ready. She was very friendly, she was nice & I will definitely be coming back again. The food was great. Wayyyyyy better than chipotle hands down.

5 /5 Trinity’s World: Chris at CAVA is amazing! From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to make sure my order was exactly how I wanted it and kept a positive attitude the entire time. You can tell he really cares about great customer service and making people feel comfortable. Experiences like this are what keep me coming back—huge shoutout to Chris for going above and beyond!

5 /5 Jennifer Hulgan: Cava was recommended by a friend. In looking at the menu on line I thought, "Meh." Boy was I WRONG. I created my own bowl with romain, 1/2 steak and 1/2 spicy chicken along with hummus and some other toppings. The young lady behind the counter was helpful with making choices. It was delicious! The We were a group of 6 and were the first people there. The dining was clean but otherwise unremarkable. There is in interesting assortment of drinks available. Lavender Blueberry was yummy on its own. I mixed a concoction of Lavendar Blueberry, lemon aide and tea that was just right for me. I am looking forward to another visit.
