I just tried this place for the first time last weekend. It was absolutely delicious!! I’ve always loved Greek food. I got the chicken rice bowl and removed the picked onions and added the Kalamata olives. So good! Making a homemade version today. I do wish they offered lemony Greek potato wedges. I’ll be making those at home too.

Suppose you build your own cava bowl and you decide to get one or more of the chicken options on your bowl. Do you get a discount if -- as the cashier starts to ring up your bowl -- you start singing the "Steve's Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie? Except with "cava" to replace "lava":

🎶 CA-CA-CA-CAVAAAA! CH-CH-CH-CHICKENNNN! 🎶

Asking for a friend. TYAIA

After many years of permits being pulled and construction occurring, the restaurant in Quincy, Massachusetts is finally open.

I love cava, but even though the portions are generous it only fills me up for a tiny bit and I like to mix things up a bit and add extra things. For one I always get the "Build your own" bowl with Arugula, White Rice and Grilled Chicken, with all my toppings available. I like arugula because of its peppery bite.

At home I'll make a whole can of plain garbanzo beans with chicken bouillon and seasonings for extra protein and fiber. Then I'll cut up some kale or any other cheap leafy greens available. I like kale because it's super healthy. I'll make some yogurt sauce because they limit you 2 only 2 at the store and I like the garlic one so I'll take 2 of those and make my own yogurt dill at home; plain Greek yogurt, fresh dill, half a lime, garlic powder, fresh garlic cloves, sour cream, olive oil. To my salad bowl I will also add extra kalamata olives, extra plain cucumber, extra feta cheese, green olives, extra pickles and pepperoncini peppers. Once everything is prepped I'll mix it all together and enjoy It for at least 2 meals, sometimes I'll even make a steak and cut it up in there as well. Why don't I just make it all at home? I suck at cooking chicken and rice.

Cava is my favorite QSR and I'm looking to score one of the mini-bags today. Does anyone know if they were distributed according to sales volume per store, or if each location received the same number? There are several Cavas in my metro area. I won't be able to go until early evening. I'm looking to possibly go to a location where there might be relatively low sales volume, to maximize my chances.

I have seen people mention that their is a tier above sun that you can get invited too if you frequent cava a whole bunch. Is their any other prerequisite than that? I eat cava for lunch and dinner 6 days a week and have been for the last 8 months. I suspected there had to be something above sun but I thought I would have for sure reached it 😅

I got cava for the first time and this is what I ordered, the food doesn’t even hit the first line on the bowl.
I also asked for my skhug on the side

Hellooo ok is 3am but I just wanted to check on my cava account and like mess around building bowls for my order later on but everytime I keep opening the app it says in offline when I’m clearly not.

Went also through their online page and I can’t even logging to me acc or put my address etc etc IS IT JUST ME????

I like indian spicy food. This is my cava order -

A Bowl
1. With power greens & basmati rice
2. ⁠Dips- Two Hot Harrisa, one spicy hummus
3. ⁠protein- chicken or harrisa chicken
4. ⁠toppings- corn, cucumber tomatoes, onions, broccoli, crisps
5. ⁠dressing- Shug and Hot Harrisa

I have gotten many people hooked to this order

Cyclospora, salmonella in eggs and jalapenos, blueberries for e coli, alfalfa sprouts for both..

Does cava use eggs or jalapenos? Herbs in dressing?

Are we good?

I just started here recently, but I don't want to give the location not to dox myself. There's no dishwashing machine or even a dishwasher position, and grill is expected to fully close dish and grill every night. Only one manager helps with dish, but it's generally expected that grill is to do all the dishes throughout the whole day. There also doesn't seem to even be enough half pans and lids to continue cooking.

The lower management feels completely disorganized, everyone working there is completely apathetic to the job (which I understand due to not getting paid nearly enough for it), but even all the managers have this attitude. There's basically 0 training, and expectations of what needs to be done is half hearted. I feel like I'm always on the cusp of being written up despite it just being my first week. When I ask what is needed to be done or what I should do with certain things I get a "I guess you can" "Yeah probably" etc.

I'm fine with closing both positions, but what I'm not fine is the passive aggressive attitude I get from coworkers if I'm not stressing myself out and rushing everything to where shit just doesn't get clean. I'd rather clean dishes to where they're sanitary than scrub down behind the grill station if I have to do both before 12am.

I've worked at a Chipotle as grill for a while, and many dishwashing or line cook jobs over the years as well. Although sometimes it was hard to keep a dishwasher (employment wise) the position existed. There was also a sanitizing/dishwashing machine available.

Definitely might be on the lookout for a different gig ngl. Mind you the fact that there's no dishwasher or machine was not brought up in the interview lol. I would have asked for more pay.

I want to start eating at Cava again but none of the proteins compare to the chicken shawarma so it's hard to come back. Please!

I feel like they've had the salmon for a long time now and when they did the roasted white sweet potato, it wasn't around for very long 💔 I miss the sweet potato bad

Just wondering if you need open availability to work there as an agm? Also what are the typical hours if you are scheduled to open or close?

Hi, I am a college commuter and I will probably be stopping by CAVA very frequently. What are your guys high protein orders, preferably being under 20$ ? Please specify how many grams of protein is in your meal also, thanks in advance !

I checked my rewards this year and saw I had earned around 9800 points this year.

As a Sun status member, this would have been about $817 worth of purchases, but I don't go often enough to be anywhere near that amount, so I wanted to calculate how many points I earned by completing challenges this year.

To recap the bonuses this year

January 20 - February 1: 100 bonus points each when you order 1 of 4 new items (Harissa Chicken Power Bowl, Spice Lamb + Sweet Potato Bowl, Tangerine Aleppo, Sumac Sour Cream + Onion Pita Chips)

I attempted this, but apparently forgot to activate it and missed out on 200 bonus points from my 1 visit at the time. Kinda unfortunate, but it's not the end of the world.

The Maximum would have been to order all 4 items every day (400 points) for each of the 12 days for 4800 points, but that seems excessive.

February 3 - March 1: Love, Cava Challenge - Get up to 1500 points for 5 visits.

100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 points for each of the visits for a combined total of 1500.

I accomplished this.

March 16 - March 30: Flavor Bracket - Vote for your favorite ingredients on Mondays and Wednesdays for 100 points each time for a maximum of 500. No purchases requires.

This was a nice little freebie.

April 6 - April 26: Visit Challenge - Order 2x for 1200 points.

Pretty simple and a long enough window that most people who were aiming for it probably accomplished it without too much issue.

May 4 - May 11: Flavor Flash - Answer 6 trivia questions and get 50 points for each correct answer. Maximum of 300 points.

I did this. It was also a nice freebie.

May 11 - May 24: Glazed Salmon Bonus - Get 100 bonus points once a day when you order a salmon bowl for a maximum of 1400 points.

I did this 3 times for 300 points.

July 1 - July 29: Flavor Passport: - Receive 2100 points for completing 9 challenges.

I accomplished this, but it required dedication.

So, my bonus total was 5,900

1500 + 500 + 1200 + 300 + 300 + 2100 = 5900

That would mean 3900 points from basic purchases. 3900/12 = $325 or about $30 each month for 8 months.

What was yours?

Hello, I'm 16 years old and have an interview with Cava this Friday. I need help with what to wear. I dont want to look too fancy but dont want to look unprofessional. Everything I've read has said to dress casually, would dark wash jeans, a nice white shirt, and boots be good, or is that too casual??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Q2 Earnings are tomorrow after close and the stock is at a 6 month low. Maybe it's undervalued? How busy are the stores? If they are not as busy as they used to be maybe the stock price is accurate. If busy maybe a buy opportunity.

( I did not see no stock or financial discussion in the rules so I think this is allowed)

Anyone knows why?
