I’ve been coming to this Cava for several years and it is by far my favorite. It is always clean, the food is always fresh and the employees seem genuinely happy to be here. Eden especially is a ray of sunshine and always makes sure my bowl is filled and not skimped out on - something I’ve experienced at other cavas. For a while I did the keto diet and cava was the only place I felt I could safely eat within my diet and not struggle to find something on the menu or get sick of the food! The Mexican diet cola also aligned with my diet and was a nice teaser for soda while maintaining keto.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Tyson gave me a really great experience when I was overwhelmed with options as a first timer! Nice stop on my way home!

I normally love Cava but this location could use some revamping. First, portion sizes are significantly smaller than other locations. We got a chicken kids meal and a spicy lamb and sweet potato bowl. The kids meal had more meat than the bowl. The came with TWO small meatballs. We even asked 2 staff members if that was correct, and they both just shrugged. Typically a meatball serving is four, btw. They also had more than enough employees working with several standing around chatting, but the tables were sticky, trash overflowing, napkins out of stock. They seem to have gone severely downhill and definitely not worth the price anymore.
