Reviews for CAVA in Encinitas, CA
As a Firefighter with a large appetite, I?ve been coming in and out of here for some time. I?ve never paused to write a review,... but being as I just love the freshness of this restaurant. It?s time. I am not one for even mixing up my foods when I eat itemsoff my plate so was plenty surprised how much I enjoy this place. The Bowls with lentils, splendid green mix, fire feta, roastedeggplant and fire red mix, with chicken and all the fixes of vegetables are my go to. The cucumber, lime and mint drink is alsospectacular. A huge shout out to Ferencio for being behind the scenes and introducing me to Pita Chips. Wow, just love thisplace. Read more
Really love the food here. Different, flavorful, spicy, filling. The only problem is the long wait times. A few suggestions... for the management of this location. Post a menu on the wall away from the serving counter so people can read it in advance andfigure out what they want. Include paper order slips so they can check off what they want and hand the slip to the server. With so few workers inside, can you afford to dedicate one to phone-in orders? Read more
This is my go to evening spot for an affordable healthy meal. Love this place! Food is fresh and healthy, portions are good, the... staff are awesome! 100% recommend! And as an added bonus they are open until 10pm, which if you live in the area, you?ll knowit?s VERY hard to get a good dinner after 9pm. Personal favorite is the falafel, so good! Read more
The first time I had Cava was at this location in October 2019. This definitely reminded me of a Mediterranean Chipotle. I... ordered a Grain Bowl (White Rice, Brown Rice, Black Lentils) with Grilled Chicken, an extra Falafel, 3 Sauces (Crazy Feta, RedPepper Hummus and Roasted Eggplant). Threw in almost every topping that was free. Super super super good, mind blowing stuff andwould definitely come back! Read more
UH, yum. Love the healthy raw freshness. Only issue is they run out of ingredients sometimes, AND they close themselves off from... delivery apps often. The Skug sauce is really good. And yes that is a pickle on the dish in the picture. It was an accidentalpurchase. Read more
The staff and employees here are all super cool. I come in regularly because it's healthy and tastes amazing. There can be a... long line during peak times but it's worth it. The manager, I think keyshawn, and Vanessa deserve raises they are always puttingin work when I'm here Read more
Excellent place for your super healthy and yummy Mediterranean fix. They have a great selection greens and grains. More than 9... varieties of protein and 9 varieties of toppings and 9 varieties of sauces, they sure have the combination you crave and more.Braised lamb is excellent and so is Harissa Chicken. Vegetables are oven grilled and they are delicious. Arrive at this is storeis a bit slow but they will take care of your every need and explain everything. So be sure to have some patience as the food iswith the wait. Try their Skhug sauce - don't quote me on the spelling, I am going by my memory of how hard it was topronounce....it is cilantro based spicy sauce. Great with your choice of protein. Read more
Was at this location for over 20 minutes. There were 3 people working on the floor when I arrived and only two people in front... of me in line. Although the cashier seemed aware of the line that was forming she didn?t seem to have a sense of urgency. Theother person working the line seemed to be new he wasn?t sure which items where which and the other worker who seemed to be themanager was making sauces the entire duration of my visit. None of the customers were greeted when they entered. I was given 1/4piece of pita bread for two bowls and no bag to carry my items out. This is not the first negative experience I?ve had at thislocation. Read more
